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

For an entrepreneurial pioneer like Lin Yi, completing a complete bicycle business plan is a piece of cake.

In less than an hour, he had put his entire production and sales strategy on paper.

The whole process is also extremely simple.

Market positioning, parts manufacturing, final assembly, brand building, nationwide distribution to seize market share, and finally, obtaining a bank loan.

The market positioning is very clear: it focuses on the middle-class women's market.

As for parts manufacturing, it's because bicycles don't require much technology.

This can be seen from the fact that domestic and imported goods are going on the same side in the market.

It's not about boosting the enemy's morale and diminishing our own; it's that China simply can't manufacture high-tech industrial products on its own right now.

Otherwise, Lin Yi wouldn't have dared to launch the project so confidently, just by drawing a design sketch, and then go on to make money.

He was confident that this matter could be accomplished, relying solely on accurate market positioning.

Because the technology involved is not advanced, production is very simple, and there is absolutely no need to produce it ourselves.

Let Jing Zhizhong arrange for someone.

Alternatively, you could go to a university in Shanghai and find some experts in mechanical design.

Based on the outline drawing he provided, design all the parts, and then just take the three-view drawings to an OEM manufacturer.

Although this would mean sharing some profits, it is far more efficient than building your own factory.

Looking at the overall profits, they will only be higher.

He plans to hand over the final assembly step to the textile factory that is currently undergoing training and has suspended production.

Textile factory workers are perfectly capable of handling assembly line tasks like tightening screws.

As for brand building, that's right in his comfort zone.

He plans to do something new that doesn't exist in this era, just to make a name for himself in a short time.

Then, they quickly distributed their products to several major cities across the country, establishing the brand image before counterfeit products appeared.

With market share secured and future profits promising, it's perfectly reasonable to apply for a bank loan with the project development plan in hand, right?

Of course, while accomplishing this task, he could also test the system's standards for evaluating national brands.

If creating your own bicycle brand can meet the requirements, that would be ideal...

He plans to complete the entire process within a month.

Then you can just let the sheep graze freely, and you don't need to worry about anything else afterward.

According to Lin Yi's estimate, the market size for women's bicycles is only around one million.

If you start with a strong marketing campaign and experience explosive sales growth, you'll soon find yourself in a downward spiral.

Then, at a certain point, it enters a period of stability.

Therefore, once the goal is achieved, it's not worth wasting any more energy on such a small business.

With this mindset in mind, Lin Yi made a few minor revisions and then casually tossed the thin proposal aside.

Then he lit a cigarette, quietly watched the smoke dissipate, and pondered what he needed to do next.

Bicycles are a small business, and manufacturing textile equipment production lines is not a big business for Lin Yi either.

The most crucial point is that the only difficulty in getting started is this.

Because the product is strong enough.

So once the first production line is put into operation, the rest will fall into place naturally, and you can just sit back and wait for orders to come in.

He doesn't need to put in any more effort.

Therefore, he is now able to think about what to do next.

Driven by a sense of mission, the focus of development will undoubtedly remain on China's weak modern industry.

With the assistance of a system, there are no longer any technical constraints.

What he needs to consider now is the order of priority for development.

We definitely need to get involved in the steel industry, and we need to get involved as soon as possible, as this is the foundation for developing modern industry.

China's steel industry is currently extremely backward.

Steel production is also pitifully small.

Without developing fundamental industries like steel, even the most advanced equipment manufacturing and light industries will remain castles in the air.

Someone could grab you by the neck in a heartbeat.

Thinking about all this, Lin Yi stubbed out his cigarette, picked up his pen, and wrote the two large characters "steel" heavily in his notebook.

Then he stared at the two large characters and frowned again.

For basic heavy industries to develop on a large scale, not only is the process lengthy, but it also requires huge investments.

Continuous and massive financial investment.

For at least the next three to five years, don't expect to make any profit from this industry.

The profits that gradually come in are not enough to cover reinvestment.

So we still need money, and a lot of money at that.

We still have to walk on two legs.

While consolidating the foundation, they also sought ways to make money quickly.

After a brief moment of reflection, Lin Yi's mind started racing again.

I'm thinking about which industry to start with that can make money quickly, align with my development strategy, and meet the urgent needs in China right now.

In formal terms, it refers to market prospects, long-term planning, and social value.

These three aspects complement each other and none can be omitted.

The future will not be good if either one is missing.

After some thought, Lin Yi picked up his pen and wrote down the words "military industry".

This industry perfectly meets three requirements.

First and foremost, there is social value.

The September 18 Incident led to the fall of Northeast China to the Japanese.

Although the Battle of Shanghai ended on the surface with peace talks and a truce, the fact that interests were ceded meant that it was also a defeat.

There are reasons why some people disregard national interests and prioritize their own interests while preserving their strength.

However, insufficient military strength is also an important reason.

If you feel you can't win, choose to resign.

It's easy to use this reason to build up your mental strength.

Therefore, engaging in military industry is of profound significance.

As for long-term planning, the ability to mutually promote the steel industry is sufficient.

There's no need to worry about the market prospects.

With warlords controlling the country, any one of them could be a major customer, so there was never any worry about selling the products.

So the money comes in really fast.

The profits generated by this single industry are likely enough to cover the investment in the steel industry.

Of course, not just anyone can get involved in the military industry.

Let alone develop it, it's likely that it will be coveted by others before the factory is even built.

In an era where laws are merely for show, a fabricated charge can easily lead to someone's downfall.

Not to mention, the great powers would not allow China to have such a powerful existence.

Therefore, self-protection measures must be in place from the very beginning.

Finding a partner with a strong background is not even a consideration.

As soon as a product comes out, the first to go all in will definitely be your powerful partner.

Moreover, according to Lin Yide's idea, all the separatist forces will be his clients in the future.

This is not just for profit, nor is it to incite internal strife.

Instead, it was about building up military strength in all aspects to prepare for the national catastrophe a few years later.

If those Japanese devils dare to come, we'll all shout "We'll beat you to death, you little bastard!" and use our advanced weapons to just kill them...

With the option of collaborating with others ruled out, there's only one way left: rely on yourself.

One aspect is playing the game of forming alliances and counter-alliances among separatist forces.

Most importantly, he needs an armed force that obeys his orders.

The scale doesn't need to be large, but the combat power must be fierce.

When it comes to a fight, fists will do the talking.

Anyone who dares to reach out to me will have their hand chopped off immediately.

Decisive and efficient, leaving no room for compromise!

Thinking it over, Lin Yi picked up his pen again and wrote the four characters "Military Company" heavily on his notebook.

He had no intention of relying on force or becoming a warlord.

Because being a warlord requires having territory, and having territory involves civil administration and other troublesome matters like territorial disputes.

These are not his strengths.

As for things he's not good at, Lin Yi never dabbles in them easily.

A purely military company is quite simple.

A mercenary group, paid a high salary.

Just release it when needed.

Moreover, looking to the long term, the industrial empire he builds based on the steel industry will also need such an armed force for protection...
