Reborn in 1985, starting from a machine factory

When Sun Dapao asked the question, Chen Mo did not rush to answer.

The dishes and drinks have already been removed.

Chen Mo brewed tea for Sun Dapao, Sun Erliang, and himself.

Steam rose in the air.

Chen Mo handed the tea to Sun Dapao and asked, "Brother Sun, when did you buy a television?"

Sun Dapao shook his head: "I tinkered with one last year, and it's still collecting dust at home. What's wrong?"

Chen Mo did not sit down; instead, he walked to the television.

"Erliang, your brother says you're smart, so help him count a few numbers!"

Sun Erliang and Sun Dapao both raised their heads at the same time.

"If there's a clear broadcast, that counts as one."

Chen Mo added a sentence, then flipped the switch.

"one"

"five"

"six!"

Upon hearing Sun Erliang utter six words, Chen Mo withdrew his hand and sat back down at the table.

Sun Dapao's eyes darted around in their sockets: "Second Brother Chen, what did you do? How come you have so many TVs?!"

"I invented a little gadget that you can connect to the TV!"

"Brother Sun, the money I mentioned borrowing from you last time was also for this purpose."

"I'm going to take over a factory to produce this stuff."

Sun Dapao blinked: "You mean, all of us brothers can go work in the factory then?"

"No!" Chen Mo looked at Sun Dapao: "Brother Sun, do you think this thing will sell well?"

"How much?" Sun Dapao asked.

"As long as it doesn't exceed fifty yuan, it shouldn't be hard to sell."

"If it's over a hundred dollars, it can still be sold, but not many!"

"No more than fifty!" Chen Mo shook his head.

"I'm thinking of making this thing, and if Brother Sun helps me sell it, Erliang can help me out."

"I'll give you a price that I won't lose money on. How much you sell in Beiyang City will mainly depend on Brother Sun's efforts. You can arrange what Erliang does yourself!"

Sun Dapao suddenly raised his head: "Second Brother Chen, what did you say?"

"How is it?" Chen Mo didn't explain; he just stared at Sun Dapao.

One region!

A product that's easy to sell—let yourself sell it.

Ultimately, the price will be determined by the individual.

Moreover, unlike his own watch business, this thing is perfectly legitimate.

Most importantly, this way, all of my brothers can have a good outcome!

"Second Brother Chen, how much money do you still need?" Sun Dapao stood up.

"I'm not sure right now, Brother Sun. If it's suitable, could you lend me a thousand? I'll give you an IOU!"

"Take this red envelope back!"

Chen Mo grabbed Sun Dapao's sleeve.

"Don't pull me, I'm injured all over, if you pull me any further I'll lie here and won't get up," Sun Dapao said.

Chen Mo had no choice but to let go.

"A red envelope is a red envelope!"

"Borrowing money is borrowing money!"

"This is different."

"A thousand, right? Here you go!" Sun Dapao took out the money from his pocket, counted it, and handed it to Chen Mo.

"I'll write you an IOU right now!" Chen Mo took the stack of money.

"Erliang, look, this is Chen's second brother. I regret not apologizing to him earlier."

Erliang chuckled but didn't reply.

"My dear second brother Chen, for saving my life, shouldn't I give you an IOU?"

"When you need my life, I'll give it back to you," Sun Dapao said, turning his head to the side.

Chen Mo stopped what he was doing.

"Alright, I won't bother you anymore, I'm going back!" Sun Dapao waved his hand.

"Brother Sun, there are two things I need to tell you!" Chen Mo took two steps forward.

"you say!"

"Your brothers will all be your assistants eventually. You're really facing an insurmountable obstacle right now, so why not give way a little?"

"I'm sure I can finish this in a month or two at most. When that happens, we won't even want the stuff that's being given away."

Sun Dapao nodded: "I'll remember, Second Brother Chen, don't see me off!"

Sun Erliang helped Sun Dapao.

Despite saying he wouldn't see him off, Chen Mo still escorted him to the door.

Seeing Sun Dapao leave, Chen Mo stretched and said, "Chen Fen, come out and make the bed!"

Chen Fen, Chen Gang, and the others stayed in the kitchen. Knowing that Chen Mo was talking about something, they did not go up to disturb him.

Upon hearing Chen Mo speak, they all came out of the kitchen.

"Second brother, has Sun Dapao left?" Chen Gang asked.

"Let's go!"

"Auntie, you and Chen Fen can squeeze into one bed tonight, and we'll make another one for the next couple of days," Chen Mo said.

Chen Rui shook her neck: "What are you talking about? I'll have to go back in a couple of days."

"If we rely on those two, my parents will both die young."

Chen Mo remained silent.

Mr. Chen looked up and glanced at his younger sister.

...

morning.

Beiyang Heavy Industry, Secretary Liu's office.

Chen Mo pushed open the door and carefully walked into the office.

Secretary Liu remained seated at her workstation, head down, processing documents, without even looking up: "Sit!"

"Brother Liu, what's up?" Chen Mo asked before sitting down.

"We'll talk about it later, have a seat first!" Secretary Liu pushed up his glasses.

"The factory manager visited my home yesterday and treated me well. The publicity department will write an article about it. Remember to cooperate and take a picture."

"Okay! That's it. Just have Sun Dengke contact me directly." Chen Mo shook his neck and sat down to the side.

"It's not just this!"

"Make yourself some tea," Secretary Liu said, her pen still moving.

Chen Mo took out a teacup and tea leaves. The tea leaves here from Secretary Liu were excellent. As soon as the lid of the teacup was opened, a refreshing aroma could be smelled.

He just added hot water.

Suddenly, the door opened and the factory manager walked into the office.

He glanced around and locked the office door.

Secretary Liu stood up, gestured for the factory manager to sit down on the other side, and then served the factory manager the tea that had been brewed earlier.

The factory manager took a sip and looked at Chen Mo with a half-smile.

Secretary Liu said, "Engineer Chen, it's not me or the factory manager who's looking for you today, but there is indeed something I need to discuss!"

Two sentences.

Chen Mo felt a little confused, so he blinked.

"Alright!" the factory manager said. "Chen Mo, Xiao Liu and I both looked at the antenna you made yesterday."

"You did a great job on this!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Factory Director." Chen Mo didn't dare to say more.

"Let me be frank, both Xiao Liu and I are considering investing."

"I wonder how the preparations for your factory are going?"

"invest?"

Two words made Chen Mo's eyes widen.

He had guessed that Secretary Liu was interested, but he really didn't expect them to go this far.

These two are genuine government officials; their rash decision to engage in business is a heinous crime punishable by death.

Noticing Chen Mo's unusual behavior, Secretary Liu said, "Don't overthink it. It wasn't the two of us who voted; it was our relatives."

"The people who went to look at the antennas yesterday were my two relatives. The factory manager and I were just visiting their homes."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Mo nodded. "I wonder how the relatives want to cast their votes?"

Secretary Liu glanced at the factory director, who nodded slightly.

Secretary Liu said:

"Now, a factory owned by a local government office can be bought for around five thousand yuan!"

"Here's what we've decided: our relatives told me that both families are willing to contribute 1,000 each, on the condition that each family receives 20% of the profits!"

"Chen Mo, what do you think?"

Secretary Liu and the factory director both looked at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo picked up the tea, then put it back.

It's too hot, I can't drink it at all!

He shook his head.

"No, this profit-sharing ratio is unacceptable!"
