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

"Comrade Lin, the regimental commander said that he will take all the Barrett tanks you produce from now on. The price is negotiable, and we can sign a contract directly."

Qian Shuyun handed the contract, which Zhao Minghua had signed and stamped, to Lin Yunhai.

With just a quick glance, Lin Yunhai knew that this contract was extremely advantageous to him, and he could at least make a hefty profit.

However, he was not a greedy person. He didn't seek to make money by selling to his own country's army; he just wanted to avoid losing money.

As for the real path to wealth, one must fleece foreigners.

"Cooperation is no problem at all, but I need to revise this contract."

He has developed new equipment, so the price in the contract is not appropriate.

Lin Yunhai took the contract and immediately reduced the price by half.

Qian Shuyun was completely stunned, and after a long while, she asked, "In this way, aren't you at a loss?"

"Don't worry, I won't let myself lose money. This is the most reasonable price. Go back and tell the team leader that I have new equipment that can reduce the consumption of raw materials."

Since he had already said that, Qian Shuyun didn't say anything more. After putting away the contract and loading the goods, he rushed back that very night.

After Qian Shuyun left, Chu Zhou was still confused and cautiously asked, "The investor you got involved with is Commander Zhao of the 27th Army?"

Lin Yunhai nodded.

That's his older brother, so it's not surprising that the two of them can work together.

Now, Chu Zhou was even more persistent in clinging to Lin Yunhai.

"Yunhai, Brother Yunhai, since you've built such a powerful network, why don't you let me cooperate with you too?"

"Everyone knows that Commander Zhao is rich and powerful. He must want a lot of things. You can't produce them all by yourself. Let me help you. I'd be happy to."

"Besides, it's not appropriate to sell such a good product like Bartlett only to Commander Zhao. We should produce more so that we can sell it to others. We don't seek profit; we just hope to strengthen our country's military."

Once Chu Zhou said that, he had no chance to refuse.

"Alright, I agree. I was planning to cooperate with you anyway. You're right, we can't just sell weapons to Commander Zhao. We need to produce more and try to get every army unit equipped with the new gear."

"Then why did you reject me yesterday?"

"It's your fault for messing with me before. I just want to get revenge."

He had also considered that the Yellow River factory couldn't keep producing Barretts forever; he would also develop new weapons. Therefore, these older versions of weapons would need to be manufactured by other factories, and Chuzhou was the best partner.

Chu Zhou couldn't catch his breath and couldn't swallow, and he instantly understood Lin Yunhai's frustration from yesterday.

However, excitement replaced his frustration, so he didn't say much.

Lin Yunhai trusted Chu Zhou. Since he had chosen to cooperate with Chu Zhou, he didn't hide anything and handed over all of Bartlett's blueprints to Chu Zhou directly.

Not only that, he also told Chu Zhou about the places where mistakes were likely to be made, because he was worried that Chu Zhou would have a hard time coming back to find him after he went back.

Chu Zhou studied very diligently and memorized everything Lin Yunhai said.

Before they knew it, the two had been in the dormitory for several hours, and it was almost dark.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Remember everything, right? Go back and produce it yourself."

"By the way, when you get back, you should find two technicians to come over. They need to be smart and quick learners. I'll teach them how to modify the equipment. With your current equipment, if you put it into production, the consumption of raw materials is quite serious. The new equipment I developed can reduce the consumption of raw materials by half."

"Do you still have this ability?"

As they spent more time together, Chu Zhou discovered that Lin Yunhai was a treasure; he was skilled in everything, and all of it involved cutting-edge technology.

I always felt that being by Lin Yunhai's side meant receiving a huge surprise every now and then.

"Hehe, I know a lot more than you can learn. You'll have plenty to learn at your own pace."

Lin Yunhai originally wanted to stay in Chuzhou for another day, because Qiu Meizi was very happy and planned to give everyone a day off the next day and take them to town for a good meal as a celebration banquet.

But after Chu Zhou got the blueprints for Bartlett, he was so eager to go back that he rushed back overnight without stopping for even a moment.

In Lin Yunhai's words, Chu Zhou was like a scumbag; after getting what he wanted, he turned his back on you.

The next day, everyone excitedly headed to town. Qiu Meizi booked a private room at the town's largest restaurant so that everyone could relax and enjoy a good meal.

They arrived early, so they went off separately to explore.

Because Lin Yunhai was unfamiliar with Huangsha Town, Qiu Meizi acted as his guide, and the two of them wandered around the town together.

The town was quite lively, with many vendors coming and going, selling all sorts of things, some genuine and some fake.

In front of a small stall, Lin Yunhai took a fancy to a wine vessel that looked somewhat like bronze.

"You like it?"

Seeing Lin Yunhai staring at the wine vessel, Qiu Meizi asked curiously.

I didn't realize Lin Yunhai would like such old-fashioned things.

Lin Yunhai nodded, then squatted down and picked up the wine vessel to examine it.

The soil on the wine vessel was still fresh, as if it had just been unearthed.

The patterns on it are not very clear, probably due to wear and tear from improper storage.

"You have a good eye, this is a genuine, high-quality item, just unearthed."

Seeing his interest in the wine bottles, the shop owner immediately approached him to promote the wine.

Lin Yunhai knew that in this chaotic era, there were many tomb raiders, and many people made their fortunes by robbing tombs, so he was not surprised to find underground goods at small stalls.

The wine vessel doesn't look like it actually came from underground; it looks more like someone could make a replica.

However, the imitation is very realistic, and the person who made this person must have some skill.

"Did you do this yourself?"

As soon as Lin Yunhai spoke, the shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Sir, you've misjudged this. It's not made. This old man doesn't have that skill. I picked it up from the mountains."

"I don't know if you've heard, but a while ago, a mountain collapsed in Tunshangou, triggering a mudslide. Later, people discovered a large tomb inside. This thing was picked up from there, and I guarantee it's genuine."

Lin Yunhai didn't pay attention to these things, so he had no idea about Tunshangou.

Qiu Meizi, on the other hand, seemed to be deep in thought, as if she had heard about it before.

Lin Yunhai wasn't interested in tomb raiding and didn't press the matter. He glanced at the wine vessel and asked, "How much is this?"

Seeing that he genuinely wanted to buy, the shopkeeper silently held up five fingers.

"Five hundred dollars?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "It's five thousand. Although I found it outside, I still brought it back with great effort, so it has to be worth the price, right?"

Lin Yunhai frowned and silently put down the wine cup.

It's not worth spending so much money on a counterfeit.
