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

Qiu Meizi rolled her eyes at him and explained, "How could I joke about something like this?"

"Huangsha Town used to be the trading center of nearby cities. At that time, Huangsha Town had a large population and was very lively. Its economy was also the best developed, and there were countless factories."

That was when she was a teenager. Huangsha Town was completely different from what it is today. People here were very rich, and every family could build a small villa.

Even after the founding of the country, the focus of economic development was placed here.

"When you came, did you see those buildings that were abandoned halfway through construction?"

Lin Yunhai nodded.

When he arrived, he saw many railways leading to Huangsha Town, but those railways were abandoned halfway through construction. The same was true for many buildings. He was puzzled as to why construction was stopped halfway through.

"Twenty years ago, the government's development focus was on Huanghe Town. At that time, many military units came here to develop the area, and many large state-owned enterprises moved here. This area should have been the best-developed economic zone after the establishment of the new government, but it was destroyed."

Qiu Meizi's tone was somewhat downcast.

If that incident hadn't happened, Huangsha Town wouldn't be what it is today, nor would it have been abandoned by the government.

According to Qiu Meizi's narration, Lin Yunhai learned that the reason for Huanghe Town's downfall was closely related to the former underworld.

It is said that the government sent many professors to help develop Huanghe Town, but those important professors were killed by local thugs.

It is said that the higher-ups were furious and sent people down to investigate. They discovered that Huanghe Town was hiding a lot of criminal gangs, and those gang members were extremely arrogant. After killing those important professors, they showed no remorse whatsoever.

Later, when the three undercover police officers who came to investigate were about to leave with the evidence, they were beaten to death by those criminal gang members. Enraged, the government sent the army to wipe out the criminal gang in one fell swoop.

However, because of this incident, the development of Huanghe Town was forced to stop. All the troops withdrew, state-owned enterprises left, and large factories were relocated.

Even buildings that were only half-built were all halted.

Huanghe Town clearly had the potential to become a second-tier city, but it failed because of those criminal gangs.

"After that incident, Huanghe Town declined and became the penniless place it is today."

Do the people of Huanghe Town regret it?

Qiu Meizi probably regrets it.

But the most useless thing in the world is regret, because it can't do anything except make you feel unhappy.

What Qiu Meizi said reminded Lin Yunhai of Laiyang in his time.

Laiyang originally had the opportunity to become a second-tier city, but due to some petty thugs, it eventually stagnated and its development became increasingly backward.

The two found a hotel to rest. Lin Yunhai couldn't sleep, so he went downstairs to the night market to eat.

"Have you heard? Tianhe Factory has received a new batch of equipment, which is said to be imported from abroad and is much more advanced than the domestic equipment."

"I've heard about this too. The new factory manager at Tianhe Factory is very capable. I heard he studied abroad and can speak English. He's really impressive."

"The new factory manager is really capable. He has only been in office for two months, but he has already taken Tianhe Factory's business to the next level. I think they will monopolize the arms business in the future."

Lin Yunhai originally wanted to inquire about the Tianhe Factory.

As soon as I sat down to eat barbecue, I overheard people talking next door.

This intrigued him greatly, and he openly eavesdropped on their conversation while eating.

These people are fans of the new factory manager of Tianhe Factory. They look at him with admiration and keep praising what he has done since taking office.

This piqued Lin Yunhai's interest in the so-called new factory manager, and he couldn't wait to visit the Tianhe factory.

If what these people say is true, then his plan to produce the parts will definitely succeed.

The imported new equipment will definitely meet his requirements.

After gaining a certain understanding of the Tianhe factory, Lin Yunhai went back to rest.

The next morning, after getting up and eating, the two went directly to the Tianhe factory.

The Tianhe factory is located in the suburbs, covering a large area, and is very lively with a large number of workers.

"who are you?"

The two were stopped by the security guard as soon as they arrived at the factory gate.

Lin Yunhai walked over and said, "We've come to see your factory manager. We'd like to discuss a business deal with you. Could you please inform him?"

Lin Yunhai was quite adept at handling interpersonal relationships and social interactions.

As he spoke, he took out the most expensive pack of cigarettes he had on him and stuffed it into the guard's hand.

The gatekeeper squinted at the good cigarettes in his hand; he was clearly very happy.

Did you make a reservation in advance?

Silently putting the cigarette into his pocket, the security guard began to diligently perform his duties.

"We've come all this way, and we haven't had time to make an appointment yet, so we can only trouble you, brother."

After Lin Yunhai finished speaking, he gave the other person another pack of cigarettes.

"Since you're so sincere, I'll go in and inform them for you. But I can't guarantee whether the factory manager will see you."

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," and since they had already accepted the gifts, the gatekeeper didn't mind making the trip for them.

Do you think the factory manager will meet with us?

Qiu Meizi was somewhat worried.

With such a large factory, the factory manager must be very busy and probably doesn't have time to meet with people like them.

Lin Yunhai said nonchalantly, "We'll know once we try."

The two sat on the green belt nearby, waiting for the gatekeeper to return.

About twenty minutes later, the security guard returned, followed by a middle-aged man in his forties.

The man had a serious appearance and was wearing a Zhongshan suit. As soon as he saw the two of them, he asked directly, "Are you the ones who want to do business with us?"

"That's right, it's us. Hello, my name is Lin Yunhai, and this is my friend Qiu Meizi. We've come to ask your factory to process something for us."

This person didn't seem like the type to waste time, so Lin Yunhai directly stated his purpose.

"Qiu Meiko?"

After the middle-aged man murmured something, he stared at Qiu Meizi intently, as if he knew her.

Qiu Meizi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and asked, "Does the factory manager know me?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I'm not the factory manager, I'm Chen Hai, the workshop director. You can talk to me about whatever you want."

"However, Director Qiu, if you've come here for the Yellow River Factory, then you don't need to waste your time. Our superiors have said they won't acquire your factory, so coming here won't do you any good."
