People in the Republic of China era began to rise from industry.

Having delegated the task to professionals, Lin Yi simply put it out of his mind and went about his own business.

After leaving the dock, he went directly to the specialty store on Jinling Road.

The store was vandalized the day before yesterday, and it's still not repaired today.

When Lin Yi arrived, the place was bustling with activity.

Upon seeing him arrive, the shop manager, whose head was wrapped in gauze, rushed over.

"Master."

"So, when will you be able to reopen?"

"We'll work on it tonight, and we'll definitely be able to open tomorrow."

The store manager smiled broadly: "If we don't open for business, our customers won't stand for it."

"You wouldn't believe it, quite a few people came today wanting to buy our bicycles, some even paid for them."

"They get angry if I don't accept it."

Hearing this, Lin Yi smiled.

Not unexpected.

The news over the past two days has truly made the name of the domestic brand Feng Hua Bicycles widely known.

In particular, the inside information that Lin Yi revealed to the newspaper also included the Japanese.

The Battle of Shanghai had only ended a few months prior.

The people of Shanghai vividly remember this war that happened right next to them, and they hate it with a vengeance.

At this time, when a domestic brand is being suppressed by the Japanese, it is only natural to do what it can to help.

Lin Yi admitted that he had taken advantage of this patriotic sentiment.

However, compared to what he will give back to China in the future...

Everyone's efforts today will definitely be well worth it.

As the two were talking, two trucks rumbled up to the door and stopped.

Then Jing Zhizhong nimbly tumbled down from the truck bed.

"Manager Chen, quickly call someone to unload the goods."

He called out to Lin Yi, and only then did he see him in the shop. He immediately rushed in.

"Master."

"Old Jing, why are you delivering goods?"

Lin Yi was somewhat curious.

Jing Zhizhong is very busy.

Besides keeping an eye on the quality of the bicycles leaving the factory, the most important thing is also to work hard on the textile equipment.

It's a complete mess for such a busy person to come and deliver goods.

"Young master, I didn't come here just to deliver goods."

Jing Zhizhong smiled wryly: "After unloading the goods here, I still have to take the truck to a few contract manufacturers to pick up semi-finished products and talk to them about expanding the supply."

“This was originally Lin Fang’s responsibility, but he didn’t show up yesterday, and I called him today but no one answered.”

"I don't know where they went, so I'll have to fill in."

As he spoke, Jing Zhizhong couldn't help but complain, "It's taking too long."

Hearing this, Lin Yi touched his nose.

Four or five hours later, Lin Fang was probably already starting to develop lividity.

This guy's collusion with outsiders and betrayal of his own people is mostly known to people in the Andao Company's gang.

He forgot that Lin Fang was also in charge of a whole host of businesses in the industrial sector.

This role is neither important nor indispensable.

We need to find someone to fill in as soon as possible.

Thinking about all this, Lin Yi immediately lied: "It's my fault, I forgot to tell you."

“My cousin’s elder relative passed away in his hometown, and he went home yesterday for the funeral.”

"I'm afraid they won't be able to come back anytime soon."

"what?"

Jing Zhizhong looked surprised.

"Old Jing, do you have a suitable person who can take over the things he used to be in charge of?"

Lin Yi asked.

He doesn't know many people.

The current factory managers of the daily chemical plant and the textile plant are probably quite capable, but they each have their own responsibilities.

Therefore, he is currently facing a severe shortage of talent.

And as the business expands, the shortage will only increase.

It's time to put this on the agenda.

Jing Zhizhong was surprised that Lin Yi asked him to recommend someone to take over Lin Fang's job.

Everyone at Andao Company knows that Lin Fang's purchasing and sales involve handling large sums of money.

There's no need to embezzle in these kinds of positions; people will readily offer you bribes.

It can be said that for such a lucrative position, whoever makes the appointment must be extremely cautious.

But now, Lin Yi is actually asking him to recommend someone!

What kind of trust is that?

For a moment, Jing Zhizhong's face turned a little red.

Despite his excitement, he didn't lose his composure.

Coming to his senses, he waved his hand and said, "Young Master, I don't have anyone to recommend for such an important position."

"It's not as complicated as you think."

Lin Yi knew perfectly well what Jing Zhizhong was worried about.

He chuckled and said, "I'm just asking you to make a recommendation; whether or not we use it will depend on the situation."

Without giving Jing Zhizhong a chance to refuse, Lin Yi said, "That's settled then. Quickly list a few people and bring them to me for a meeting."

"Besides taking over Lin Fang's business, it would be best to have a few other people who understand sales or something similar."

Expanding our product distribution to several major cities across the country is Feng Hua Bicycles' top priority going forward.

Capitalize on this current hype and boost sales in the shortest possible time.

This kind of thing should ideally be handled by a marketing expert who specializes in this field, overseeing the overall situation and building a team.

But such talents are rare and hard to find, and Lin Yi didn't have any in his pocket.

He had no choice but to step in temporarily.

List a few capable individuals, provide them with basic training, and then send them out.

After some market experience, some of these people might grow up and take over the role.

One task after another.

While feeling deeply trusted, Jing Zhizhong also felt immense pressure.

He thought for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I'll go back and think about who might be suitable."

"Hard."

Jing Zhizhong came and went in a hurry.

Lin Yi didn't linger. After getting into the car, he told Ah Sheng to drive to the suburbs.

He had previously wanted to visit the steel mills in the suburbs to investigate them.

As a result, one thing after another happened, and he, an outsider, insisted on doing detective work, so he was never able to go on the job.

Now, several things have either come to an end or have been dealt with.

Finally, I can get back to my own business.

When I returned to Ferguson Road in the evening, Uncle Nan was not back.

After finishing his meal, Lin Yi went to his study to organize the newly acquired technical materials—the production process of special steel.

The process of making special steel is not complicated; it simply involves adjusting the proportions of various elements.

This originally required a significant investment of manpower, resources, and time to research step by step.

But with the system, what is most difficult for others is a piece of cake for Lin Yi.

By directly specifying a rough steel billet, the production process is obtained.

However, the production equipment involved in each stage of the process constitutes a massive system engineering project.

Therefore, Lin Yi only managed to organize about one-tenth of the content by the early hours of the morning.

Lin Yi lit a cigarette and took a short break. Looking at the thick stack of manuscripts on the table, he suddenly laughed as he smoked half of his cigarette.

Is he out of his mind? Why would he build a steel plant from scratch?

You could totally acquire one of them!

Even if you don't have the resources to directly take over a large steel plant, you can still acquire a smaller one.

As long as it saves time, it's worth spending more money.

Moreover, it doesn't necessarily have to cost money.

They could certainly use their special steel production technology as equity investment.

If the scale is right, you might be able to get a controlling stake without spending a penny!
