Back to the 90s: I Helped the Beautiful Factory Manager Become an Arms Tycoon

Knowing that he had been caught eavesdropping, Zhao Minghua said somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk and accidentally overheard your conversation."

"Seeing that you two were having such a good chat, I didn't want to disturb you."

"To be honest, you surprise me quite a bit. I never expected to have a younger brother with such lofty ambitions. Do your parents know about these thoughts of yours?"

Lin Yunhai shook his head.

His parents didn't actually want him to stay in China; they preferred to send him abroad to keep him away from the conflicts in the country.

But he was unwilling to do so. As a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom, he wanted to serve his country and find a way to cure its illness when it was sick.

"When a country is in danger, no citizen should abandon it. I am a Chinese, and I have a responsibility. I will give everything for my country, even my life."

These are just a few simple words, yet they ignite a surge of passion within one.

Zhao Minghua patted Lin Yunhai on the shoulder and said generously, "You are indeed my brother, Zhao Minghua. You have backbone and ambition. Do whatever you want. I will talk to your father."

"I know you must have a lot of good ideas in your head, otherwise you wouldn't have said such passionate things."

"Tell me the truth, besides guns, can you design anything else?"

Lin Yunhai knew that what he wanted to ask was whether he could design a warship, since that was exactly what Zhao Minghua lacked most.

"Yes, but it will take time; you'll have to wait."

Warships are not like guns; they are much more complicated. Given the current state of the Yellow River Shipyard, they simply cannot be produced.

Zhao Minghua's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Yunhai's words.

As long as production can be achieved, he is willing to wait in terms of time.

"But you need to hurry. The international situation is not optimistic. We don't know when it will affect us. I hope you can give me a surprise before then."

"Okay." Lin Yunhai nodded seriously.

Zhao Minghua originally wanted them to stay a few more days.

He really liked his younger brother; he was smart, ambitious, had a long-term vision, and could always pinpoint the key points of a problem.

Moreover, he also has some knowledge of military affairs, making him like a walking encyclopedia; chatting with him is always very beneficial.

However, Lin Yunhai and the others still had to go back to deal with things at the factory, so even though he was reluctant, he had no choice but to let them go.

With the large sum of money provided by Zhao Minghua, Lin Yunhai was able to realize his ambitions.

Upon returning, he didn't rush to produce Bartlett. Instead, he first purchased a batch of advanced equipment and raw materials, giving their factory a complete makeover.

Only after doing all this did they begin production.

This time, they can produce the parts themselves and don't need to find other factories to do it.

After giving birth, Lin Yunhai realized that Chu Zhou had tricked him. His initial price was outrageously high, clearly an attempt to rip him off.

With the new equipment, the workers were full of energy, especially the older workers in the factory, who practically wanted to sleep in the workshop. They loved the new equipment and treasured it dearly, meticulously cleaning it as soon as they got off work.

Lin Yunhai looked at their enthusiasm and smiled helplessly.

Qiu Meizi stood aside and said, "Don't blame them. Life was too hard before. Now that they've finally started to have a better life, it's normal that they can't adjust their mindset."

"By the way, I was originally planning to pay you back the 100,000 yuan, but the money was used to buy equipment and raw materials. I can only pay you back slowly."

Qiu Meizi felt a little embarrassed when she talked about it.

They made an exorbitant demand back then, intending to pay off a debt, but they couldn't repay it and could only continue to delay payment.

"It's okay, I'm not short of money. Besides, it's for the factory, so I'm happy to do it. Don't overthink it. Our most important thing right now is to focus on getting the factory up and running."

Only when the factory is up and running and all the equipment is upgraded can he manufacture more powerful weapons.

However, he looked down on the most advanced weapons of this era, which were worlds apart from those of their time.

So he decided to modify the new equipment himself.

He hasn't done anything like improving equipment yet, so he needs to try it step by step.

He planned to use the old equipment that the factory had replaced to conduct experiments.

After he shared his idea with Qiu Meizi, Qiu Meizi not only did not stop him, but also strongly supported him.

Qiu Meizi now completely trusts him.

In the following days, everyone was busy. Qiu Meizi led the workers to produce Bartlett, while Lin Yunhai stayed in the old warehouse to modify old equipment.

This was their factory's first big order, and Qiu Meizi valued it more than anyone else, monitoring the factory every day.

The workers were very conscientious, completing each process meticulously and never allowing defective products to be used as substitutes.

"Haha, it's done."

In the old warehouse, Lin Yunhai, covered in dust and dirt, looked at the brand-new equipment in front of him, put his hands on his hips, and laughed triumphantly.

He finally finished the latest equipment after testing it with many old machines. With this equipment, their raw material consumption can be reduced by half, which is simply perfect.

He couldn't wait to share this good news with Qiu Meizi.

After all, Qiu Meizi was practically his only friend here.

"Lin Yunhai, we have produced a thousand Barrett rifles and completed the transaction with Commander Zhao on time."

Lin Yunhai excitedly went to find Qiu Meizi, but before he could tell her about his victory, he heard Qiu Meizi excitedly announce her victory.

"really?"

Lin Yunhai was also happy for Qiu Meizi, because they finished the work five days ahead of schedule, which showed that everyone cared a lot about this business.

"Of course, I've already called Commander Zhao and they'll send someone to pick up the goods tomorrow. Everyone's worked so hard for so long, it's finally time for us to get some rest."

Excitement made Qiu Meizi radiant; her eyes were bright, and her joy was written all over her face.

After the initial excitement subsided, she asked, "Did you succeed too?"

These days, Lin Yunhai has practically lived in the warehouse, to the point of neglecting to eat and sleep. His voluntary departure can only mean that he has succeeded.

Lin Yunhai raised an eyebrow smugly and said, "Of course, don't you know who I am?"

At this moment, he forgot his former self; all he had was the spirited young man of this time and space.

Lin Yunhai took Qiu Meizi back to the old warehouse, let her take a close look at his new equipment, and explained its functions to her.

Upon hearing that the new equipment could reduce raw material costs by half, Qiu Meizi excitedly hugged Lin Yunhai and exclaimed, "That means if we have more of these machines in the future, we can make even greater profits, right?"
