Rebirth 1990: I have three golden fingers.

Chapter 11 Life is not easy and money is not easy to make

Fang Bai vaguely heard the rooster crow, and saw that it was still dark and continued to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, the sky gradually brightened, and the morning light shone on the quiet village.

At dawn, Fang Bai's eyes naturally opened, he got up and stretched.

He brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth slowly, and the cold well water instantly refreshed him.

When I opened the pressure cooker, I found that there was white rice porridge, which was still hot, just right with pickles. Fang Bai felt very good. He didn't have to rush to eat breakfast, which was rare.

After eating the hot porridge, I feel warm.

Looking at the time, it was already past eight in the morning. My parents were no longer at home and had probably gone out. My father was probably doing odd jobs. My mother was taking her sister back to school by bicycle. She thought it would be good to save some fares.

Fang Bai memorized short English sentences for a while, then tied the luggage he packed last night to the bicycle frame before riding away from home.

He is now scrambling to study. If he doesn't get into his ideal key university next year, he will have to repeat his studies for a year, which he will definitely not want to do.

Therefore, before the college entrance examination, study is the first priority and making money is the second priority.

After passing the college entrance examination, I will focus on making money.

Of course, he cannot miss the opportunity to make money. He must earn enough starting capital before the end of next year, otherwise he will miss the opportunity to make big money.

Half an hour later, Fang Bai came to the rental house and put the package on the second floor.

Cycling is a bit bad. If the road is not windy and the wind is strong, the yellow sand will fill the air and the dust will stick to you.

Later generations have been used to driving cars for a long time, but I am really not used to not having a car.

I haven’t ridden a bike for a long time. It felt fresh when I first rode it yesterday, but today it feels painful again. The friction on the buttocks is a bit painful.

Fang Bai cleaned up the dust on his body, then queued up at the bank to withdraw money, and came to Hengli Company again.

Fang Bai handed Wang Hengli 3000 yuan and signed the transaction contract.

"Mr. Wang, I have to trouble you to arrange a forklift to deliver the equipment to my place. It's nearby. Just use your company's five-ton forklift." Fang Bai had already planned it. The equipment weighed 3.5 tons and was not dismantled into parts. The parts are not easy to assemble even if they are disassembled.

He doesn't have a 5-ton crane in his rented house. If he doesn't have a forklift to unload the goods by truck, it would be very troublesome. He would have to rent it temporarily, which is another expense.

If he directly repairs the equipment without removing it, Wang Hengli and the workshop workers must know how he repairs it, and Fang Bai doesn't want them to see it.

After the equipment is moved, if it cannot be sold at the price Wang Henli wants, Fang Bai can still sell it to others.

Of course, moving equipment is really a hassle.

"That's no problem. Let me explain to the factory director, aren't you going to come over and help? It's quite profitable to run the business." Wang Hengli still values ​​young people like Fang Bai who are flexible in their work.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your kindness. I have other plans recently." Fang Bai thought about earning commissions by running a business. It may be difficult for others, but it is not difficult for him with a golden finger. He just makes more money. The problem of making less money.

However, he is not happy to work for others.

In addition, the commission for small orders is not much.

Fangbai is not eligible for very large orders, so this route is not suitable for Fangbai.

"Okay, you're welcome anytime if you think about it."

"Mr. Wang, have the new equipment been ordered?"

"Not yet. It's hard to buy new equipment now, and the waiting time is quite long. It's really a headache."

The two talked as they walked, and when they came to the workshop office on the first floor, Wang Hengli explained to the factory director Ma Jingsen and asked him to arrange a truck to deliver the equipment. After the explanation, he left.

Ten minutes later, the 5-ton forklift arrived next to the drilling machine. Fang Bai personally adjusted the fork opening distance before letting the forklift master fork the equipment. After forking it, he tied the upper end of the equipment with a sling to prevent the equipment from tipping over.

Under normal circumstances, the forks have a certain tilt angle, and experienced drivers drive in reverse when going downhill. Fang Bai was afraid that the forklift driver was inexperienced and the road was not close, so the equipment would fall down and be damaged midway.

People around him thought it was redundant when they saw Fang Bai tying up the equipment, but Fang Bai felt that he should do what he should do. The equipment was his own, and if it broke down, the 3000 yuan would be wasted.

After checking the transportation safety, Fang Bai found the drilling tools and adjustable wrenches, vise, hexagonal wrenches and other tools next to the drilling machine station. He stared directly at them, hoping to fish them away.

If he didn't have tools, he would have to spend dozens of dollars to buy a set, otherwise he wouldn't be able to disassemble and assemble the equipment.

"Mr. Ma, there is also a set of drilling tools and maintenance tools. These are matched. Help me install them."

Ma Jingsen's eyes widened: "When you buy equipment, you also get drilling tools and tools?"

"Why don't you ask Mr. Wang? Some tools were originally purchased from this equipment for distribution, and you were not asked to distribute others."

Ma Jingsen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed. It was indeed not worth much.

Fang Bai personally selected a set of the latest drilling tools and tools and threw them on the forklift before letting the forklift master drive. He led the way on his bicycle.

After leaving the factory gate, Fang Bai handed the forklift master a pack of Qingliangtai cigarettes and asked him to drive slowly, as some roads were not easy to walk.Fang Bai told Wang Hengli that the distance was not far, but in fact it was still two or three kilometers. For a forklift that was not traveling very fast and was carrying equipment, the distance was still quite far. If Wang Hengli knew about it, he would probably nag him.

The forklift master got a pack of cigarettes and drove happily. He heard that the destination was a bit far away, but it didn't matter for the sake of the cigarettes. Anyway, this was what the boss had told him to do, and it was not his own gas money that was burned.

Besides, today is Sunday, I am relatively free in the morning and have a rest in the afternoon.

About ten minutes later, the forklift finally arrived at Fang Bai's rented house.

Fang Bai opened the door and asked the master to put the equipment in the designated location for easy plug-in and maintenance.

"Boss Fang, if nothing happens, I'll leave."

"Well, nothing's wrong."

"Okay, bye."

"Well, maybe we'll see you again soon, haha."

The forklift master didn't know what Fang Bai meant by this, so he waved to him, started the forklift, smoked with one hand and held the steering wheel with the other and drove the forklift back to the company.

Next, Fangbai connected the wires, turned on the power and confirmed that there was no problem with the equipment before turning off the power.

After struggling with this matter, the whole morning passed.

Have a meal at noon, take a break, and then buy accessories and tools that need maintenance.

In Wencheng, you can also find equipment accessories.

If you move to a midwestern city, it will be difficult to find suitable bearings in this era.

In this era, mechanical manufacturing technology was relatively backward, and even standard bearings were not cheap.

Fang Bai is not afraid of the price, but he is most afraid of not being able to find it.

Finally, I found a suitable 6008 deep groove ball bearing in a "Duoduo Hardware Store". After bargaining with the boss, I bought a set for 45 yuan.

I went to another store and bought a 5-liter barrel of No. 46 anti-wear hydraulic oil for 14.5 yuan.

I rode back to the rental house, changed clothes, put on plastic gloves, and changed the hydraulic oil first.

After ten minutes, the hydraulic oil was changed, and then the problematic parts began to be disassembled.

Fang Bai's right hand was a little weak, and he was sweating profusely before he finished taking it apart, and his hands and clothes were stained with oil.

It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that the bearings and shafts were removed from the equipment.

"Damn, it's so hard to make money. I'm exhausted!"

Fang Bai sighed when he saw that his hands were covered in black oil, especially between the nails, which were difficult to wash.

He bent down and sat on the concrete floor to rest, staring at the results on the ground.

The bearing and the shaft have an interference fit (no clearance). It is troublesome to disassemble the bearing from the shaft. Fangbai does not have a bearing puller. The only tools that can be used are a wrench and a hammer. If a mechanical layman smashes it hard, it will cause damage. If the surface of the spindle is strained, the shaft will be scrapped and cannot be used.

After resting for a while, Fang Bai erected the shaft on the wooden box, clamped the inner ring of the bearing with an iron block, oiled the shaft, and tried smashing it twice, and found that the bearing was not loose.

Now, he didn't dare to smash it again.

"It seems that it can't be done without special tools. I'll spend money to find a professional master to disassemble and assemble it tomorrow." Fang Bai had only seen others dismantle it, but had never actually operated it. He didn't expect that the actual operation was a bit more difficult than he thought.

My brain knows it, but my hands don't. It's embarrassing.

I couldn't finish anything today, so I had to wash my hands that were full of oil, and then buy some daily necessities and pots and pans from a nearby junk store.

There is no water heater in the rental house, not even a gas stove. If you want to boil water, you have to burn firewood to boil water. You will definitely not be able to boil hot water tonight, so you can only wash with cold water. Fortunately, the weather is only slightly cooler now.

After eating dinner outside, I came back and took a cold shower while my body was still a little warm.

After taking a shower, I started writing a study plan under the lamp, and then entered study mode.

It has been a month since school started, and Fang Bai has had one month less classes than those repeat students. He has to work hard to make money during the day. If he doesn't make good use of it at night, even if he has a golden finger, it will be too difficult to get into a good university next year. His grades are still a few dozen points away from the 985 University, which will be the last to come.

According to his score range, it is difficult to improve by more than 40 points after repeating one year. An improvement of 80-[-] points is normal.

If there is no golden finger, if you want to improve by a hundred or so points, it will be a waste.

I studied hard until almost early in the morning, and I felt sleepy before going to bed.

Before going to bed, he recalled the knowledge points he recited today and found that he could still remember them. Fang Bai felt more confident about the college entrance examination.
