A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely

Hu Dahai was not interested in the other companies, but he was very interested in the state-owned food factories in Hangzhou.

Although he changed the recent operating situation of the state-owned food factory, allowing Zhang Zhaoxing to recover the money he had lost due to his previous decision-making errors.

However, the state-owned food factory has been operating at a severe loss in recent years, and it is said to be at the bottom of all state-owned enterprises.

Otherwise, when Zhang Zhaoxing took over the state-owned food factory, he wouldn't have made such drastic changes with a do-or-die attitude, and would have gone all out to maintain the major customer he had attracted at the time, processing products for that major customer, because all the other products before him had basically ended up losing money.

Therefore, Hu Dahai was certain that this time the state-owned food factory would definitely be privatized.

The main problem was that converting a state-owned food factory into a private one wasn't free; it required paying a considerable fee. In fact, it was like buying the state-owned food factory with money.

However, this price is relatively much cheaper than opening your own factory.

In the previous life, when this state-owned food factory was undergoing restructuring, no individual or company was willing to take it over.

Everyone knows that the food factory was in terrible shape, and any attempt to acquire it at a slightly higher price would result in a loss.

So in the end, one guy took a fancy to the food factory building and bought it at a very low price.

In this life, because of the fish tofu and snail product lines that I handed over to Zhang Zhaoxing, I estimate that there will be slightly more people who are envious of the food factory.

However, the most crucial formula is still in our own hands, and most people wouldn't dare to compete with us for the food factory.

It's just that the price is slightly higher.

This is not a problem. After all, Hu Dahai has a lot of good food recipes in his mind. As long as he can take over this state-owned food factory, he can definitely make a lot of money by using it.

"Sigh, I still need to find more ways to make money. Relying solely on off-season vegetables and wood ear mushrooms can indeed generate income, but I also have other expenses. I feel like I won't be able to save that much money during this period. It would be awkward if the food factory were to be restructured and I didn't have enough money to buy the produce," Hu Dahai said with a bitter smile.

Logically speaking, he should be considered someone who knows how to make money by now, but he still has the problem of not having enough money.

No wonder those business tycoons in the previous life, despite having billions in their hands, were still frantically investing in various new projects and making money like crazy.

However, if the villagers in Qunyi Brigade knew about his current troubles, they would probably all call him Versailles.

"Now isn't the right time to buy a house. Who knows when prices will go up? The stock market hasn't even started yet. The only way to make money is in the real economy. I'll see if there's any way to make some quick cash." Hu Dahai muttered, "I'll go to Hangzhou tomorrow and see if there are any good money-making opportunities."

The next day, Hu Dahai arranged all the work at hand.

So I rode my bicycle to Hangzhou.

The most bustling place in Hangzhou right now is undoubtedly the Hangzhou Department Store. He plans to stroll around there today to see if there are any good business opportunities.

The Hangzhou Department Store, with seven floors, was completed and put into use in 1980.

In department stores, you can find almost anything: shoes, clothes, hats, bicycles, sewing machines, food, health products—you name it.

Hu Dahai even saw fish tofu from Zhang Zhaoxing's food factory here, including frozen ones and small, ready-to-eat ones, as well as their snails.

Hu Dahai walked from the first floor to the clothing section on the third floor.

If we're talking about what has the highest profit margin, it's undoubtedly clothing.

It must be said that clothing in this era was somewhat conservative, especially in the countryside.

The situation is relatively better in Hangzhou. People with local household registration usually wear Zhongshan suits, white vests, cool shirts, and Warrior shoes in the summer.

In the countryside, many people's clothes have many patches, especially the children, whose clothes are patched here and there. If they fall and tear a hole, they have to patch it up. They mostly wear cloth shoes or liberation shoes.

However, this is also a time when people are gradually becoming more open-minded. With movies and television, more and more clothing and fashion styles from Hong Kong are slowly influencing the mainland.

Therefore, in the mid-to-late 1980s, especially the later period, people had more demands regarding clothing.

Especially in the city, many wealthy women have become picky about clothes, fantasizing about wearing the latest and trendiest clothes and being envied by others as they walk down the street.

Some people go directly to buy fabric and find tailors to make new clothes for themselves.

Some clothing factories, with their more innovative ideas, have also started mass-producing new styles of clothing.

However, Hu Dahai noticed that while some of the clothing styles in the department stores were quite novel, many still seemed outdated.

Hu Dahai's eyes lit up. If he made and sold clothes based on styles from two or three years in the future, wouldn't he be able to seize the market ahead of time?

After all, the styles of these clothes are all in his mind. He can draw them out and have a clothing factory mass-produce them. If that doesn't work, he could even open a small clothing factory at home. Maybe that way he can even push forward the development of fashion trends.

These kinds of clothes are mostly bought by wealthy people, so the profit margin is quite high. And if they really want to increase sales, they could easily make some lower-end brands and target the rural market.

Hu Dahai got excited just thinking about it, and he was eager to put it into practice.

Just as he turned to leave, he bumped into a girl without noticing. Because Hu Dahai was walking in a hurry, and because he was already quite strong due to the transformation he received from the holy water, the collision sent the girl flying.

The girl let out a cry and fell backward.

"sorry!"

Hu Dahai quickly stepped forward and grabbed the girl, hooking his arm around her waist and pulling her up.

At the very moment the girl was pulled up, their eyes met.

Hu Dahai was stunned.

This scene, this situation, this face—it all seems so familiar.

It turned out that the girl he had knocked down was none other than Huang Yunya.

I remember when I pulled Huang Yunya out of the water, we were in the same position, looking into each other's eyes.

"Cough cough."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Hu Dahai naturally dared not keep his arm around Huang Yunya.

After Huang Yunya straightened up, Hu Dahai let go of her and stepped aside, clearing his throat to ease the awkwardness, and asked, "What a coincidence that we bumped into each other here. Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Huang Yunya reached out and tucked the hair that had fallen across her face behind her ear. After looking around, she said, "How did you end up here?"

Hu Dahai said naturally, "Let's just look at clothes here."

"This..." Huang Yunya paused for a moment. This is the women's clothing section. You, a grown man, are looking at clothes in the women's clothing section? Are you serious? And these clothes are all for young women.

Could it be... that Hu Dahai has a girlfriend? And a young one at that?

For some reason, Huang Yunya felt a sense of loss.
