Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

Chen Zaiguang scratched his head, finding Chen Dong's words quite puzzling. "Ah Dong, your third brother here isn't very educated, and your sister-in-law is also a bit reckless; she does whatever she sees."

"I just feel like this industry is unreliable. If I put in tens of thousands of dollars, it'll just make a splash and then disappear. I really don't dare to do it," Chen Zaiguang said, looking at Chen Dong with some embarrassment.

Chen Dong knew his third brother Chen Zaiguang's personality. Just as his fifth brother Chen Zaixing said, he was timid before the battle even began. If Chen Zaixing were in charge of this business, he wouldn't even think about whether he would lose money, but rather how to make the business even better.

"Third Brother, I can't make this decision for you, but if you trust me, then tell Fifth Brother about this plan. If you're worried about losing money by investing alone, then ask Fifth Brother and see if he'll agree," Chen Dong said, adding, "If you decide to do it, and there's anything you don't understand that you need my help with, then come and ask me."

"Alright, alright, Adong, I'll talk to your sister-in-law about it when I get back tonight," Chen Zaiguang said with a smile, wiping his hands with his apron before taking out cigarettes to offer to Chen Dong. Chen Dong quickly took out a cigarette from Huazi and handed it to him, saying, "Third Brother, have mine."

"Third Brother, if we're really planning to go into business, then you'd better teach your apprentices well. They can't just give up halfway through. There are so many employees in the factory, and if they don't eat well, they'll get yelled at," Chen Dong said, half-jokingly pointing at Chen Zaiguang.

Chen Zaiguang nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry about that. My apprentices, although they are a bit slow, are all willing to learn. If I really plan to go into the fast food business, I will start teaching them my skills. When I leave, they will be able to take over."

Chen Dong nodded and added, "Also, talk to your sister-in-law nicely. Don't make her anxious, and don't let her think you're not ambitious. Tell her that it was me who said the shop can be opened, but not in Nanshan. We need to go and investigate further."

Chen Zaiguang sighed, "Your sister-in-law is very anxious. When she saw that the fourth and fifth brothers had all gotten up, she was on tenterhooks. I'll go back and have a good talk with her."

As the two were talking, Qu Cai jogged over from the office building and called out from afar, "President Chen, Factory Director Fan and Mr. Thorne have signed the contract. My second brother asked me to ask you what time the lunch will start?"

Chen Dong glanced at his watch. "It's about 11:30. You take them to the private room in the cafeteria to sit down and have some tea. I need to talk to my second brother about something, I'll be there in a bit."

Qu Cai responded and jogged back. Seeing that Chen Dong was busy, Chen Zaiguang rubbed his hands together and said, "A Dong, I'll go prepare it. I'll put extra Puhui Doubanjiang on the twice-cooked pork for you, since you like that flavor."

"Okay, Third Brother, put in more, and put some plum juice on a plate. The char siu dipped in plum juice is absolutely delicious," Chen Dong said with a chuckle to Chen Zaiguang as he walked into the cafeteria. After saying that, he quickly walked towards the office building.

Qu Cai led Fan Guotao, Suo En, and their entourage into the private room of the canteen. The canteen room was not large, with a round table covered with a red tablecloth. The bowls and chopsticks were neatly arranged, and several canteen ladies brought in tea to set the table.

Seeing that Fan Guotao and Thorne were curiously looking at the decorations in the private room, Qu Cai took the TV remote from the sofa next to him to keep them from getting bored and changed the channel to CCTV.

As soon as the channel switched to CCTV, the 55-inch television broadcast the host's clear and articulate announcement: "Focusing on science and technology engineering, the Nanshan Precision Machinery Research Institute in the Tuocheng Special Economic Zone of Guangdong Province has recently achieved numerous honors!"

"The first five-axis CNC machine tool independently developed and manufactured by Huaxia officially rolled off the production line and successfully completed trial operation today at the Nanshan CNC Machine Tool Plant in Tuocheng, marking a significant step forward for my country in catching up with international advanced levels in the field of CNC machine tools!"

Sitting in the private box, Thorne couldn't understand what the TV host was saying, but he was stunned by the machine tool on the screen. In the broadcast, an engineer wearing a white lab coat and a white hat was personally operating the machine tool, demonstrating its various functions to the reporter.

Thorne turned to his entourage and said in German, "This is a five-axis CNC machine tool? I'm not seeing things, am I? The Chinese can actually manufacture such advanced CNC machine tools on their own!"

"Sir, you're not mistaken. In fact, this machine tool is even smoother than the Siemens machine tool we just introduced to our workshop last year. It's incredible!"

Thorne frowned at the words of his entourage. He turned to Fan Guotao, pointed at the television, and asked, "Fan, is your own country already capable of producing such advanced machine tools?"

After listening to the translation, Fan Guotao laughed awkwardly and said, "Mr. Thorne, I don't know. I'm just an automotive guy, how would I know anything about machine tools? Hehe."

Fan Guotao and Thorne were talking through the translator when Chen Dong pushed open the door and walked in with Chen Zaisheng. Just then, the TV news switched to footage of the Xiaochi Automobile test vehicle team entering the capital. Chen Dong came in with a smile, watched the TV, and said to Thorne, "Look, the test drive around China, how is it? Our Lu and Zhaoyebai."

Thorne gave a heartfelt thumbs up. "Mr. Chen, this is the design of your Snapdragon cars. To be honest, we at Volkswagen also want to design exteriors and interiors like yours. You have led the world's automotive trend."

"Then I can't give you too much advice. Just don't copy our Snapdragon design exactly," Chen Dong pulled up a chair and sat down, teasing Thorne. "Design is a very subjective thing, but our Snapdragon has registered its exterior and interior design in Europe. Be careful, or we might sue you, Volkswagen!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone present smiled knowingly, and Thorne nodded with a smile as well. He didn't know if Chen Dong was joking or speaking his mind under the guise of joking, but the public wouldn't be foolish enough to actually copy Snapdragon's design one-to-one.

Volkswagen is a large corporation; it should have some self-respect!

Chen Dong saw through his thoughts and changed the subject with a smile, "Fan Chang, what kind of wine should we drink for lunch? Moutai or Wuliangye?"

Fan Guotao waved his hand with a smile, "Whatever, Mr. Chen, you can arrange it. Of course, it would be even better if there was Shaoxing rice wine."

"We don't have Shaoxing rice wine, but we'll have it next time you come, haha," Chen Dong said, turning to Qu Cai. "Little Qu, go to my office and bring me that bottle of Moutai and XO from my wine cabinet."

Qu Cai responded and left. When Chen Dong arrived, the canteen staff began to serve the dishes. Chen Zaiguang personally brought in a plate of twice-cooked pork and placed it in front of Chen Dong, saying, "A Dong, here's your twice-cooked pork."

Chen Dong took a sniff; the aroma was enticing. "Third Brother's cooking skills are getting better and better. I really love your twice-cooked pork."

"Then eat more, I'll cook you more if you're still not full."

"That's enough, Third Brother."
