You promised to build cars, so why did you go into the military industry?

Early May, during the holiday season.

Early in the morning, Hongyi and his child each drove a Lingyun SU7, taking the whole family to the reservoir for a spring outing and fishing trip.

Unlike in the past, Hongyi acted out of character this time.

The first thing I did wasn't to find a place to throw a line and get a feel for it by myself, but to set up a tent with my family.

A short while later, a number of items appeared under the tent.

It has everything: fish tanks, aerators, electric baking pans, steam ovens, fans, refrigerators, induction cookers...

With everything ready, Hongyi took out the skewered meat he had prepared in advance and arranged it neatly on the table.

Hongyi reached out and turned on the independent switch on the car's external power strip.

"Buzz..."

That's the noise from the aerator when it's working.

The electric grill pan was preheated and sprayed with oil. Three minutes later, Hongyi started grilling meat skewers!

"Boss Hong? Is this... a furniture exhibition?"

"More or less." Hongyi flipped the meat skewers. "These are our own products specially designed for the Lingyun SU7. Let's test their effectiveness."

"Boss Hong, you're already having barbecue skewers right after you left home, can you really eat that?"

Hong Yi glanced at the person who had just spoken:

"I didn't eat breakfast this morning, I was just waiting for this bite. Don't worry, I promise I won't waste a single piece of meat."

Actually, there are quite a few people camping nearby, and some even set up barbecue grills early in the morning for their own barbecues.

However, everyone was surrounded by smoke and flames, which wasn't exactly pleasant.

Hongyi's relaxed demeanor was so striking that he gradually attracted a crowd of people.

Lingyun SU7, external power supply, portable home appliances, outdoor power supply...

Hongyi casually introduced the set of equipment around him to everyone.

Seeing Hongyi's relaxed and carefree appearance, many campers were tempted to join in.

The car is too expensive to replace.

Buying an outdoor power supply and portable home appliances doesn't cost much.

I just don't know where to buy it.

When asked questions by the crowd, Hongyi answered them all and had his wife distribute his business cards to everyone.

They also stated that customers who present their business card upon purchase will receive a 20% discount.

As time went by, Hongyi, having eaten and drunk his fill, took the chilled cola he had just made and headed towards the fishing spot.

As time went on, Hongyi, who had been sitting with his legs crossed, sat up straighter and became more and more silent.

"Dad, where's the fish? I'm really looking forward to my first meat dish."

"..."

"This fish tank and aerator have been running all day, at least let a fish in!"

"..."

"How about we build another sonar fish finder? What if we don't choose a good location?"

At that moment, a gasp of surprise rang out beside Hong Yi.

A crucian carp, about the length of an adult's forearm, was caught.

"...It seems there's nothing wrong with the fishing spot."

Dad, I just remembered a poem that I feel is especially suitable for you.

"Birds have vanished from a thousand mountains, human tracks have disappeared from ten thousand paths; a lone boat, an old man in a straw hat and raincoat, fishing alone..."

"Get lost!"

"Okay!"

Although Hongyi's fishing attempt was a failure, the sales pitch was a success.

Their products are selling like hotcakes.

When Hongyi approached Li Ran with the sales data.

The overlap between the buyers of these home appliances and the owners of the Lingyun SU7 car is quite high.

He immediately made the decision, indicating that he wanted to invest.

Hongyi originally just wanted to promote the products and see if he could get some orders.

Unexpectedly, the surprise came too suddenly.

It wasn't until he shakily signed the contract that he finally calmed down.

Before long, the in-vehicle home appliances appeared on the Lingyun SU7's introduction page on United Industries' official website.

-----------------

From April to June, Gao Jingming put all his effort into recruiting.

Considering that the factory expansion will be completed in the second half of the year, at least 50 researchers, 120 engineers and more than 1000 technical workers will be needed to ensure the normal operation of the United Industrial Manufacturing Plant.

United Industries' salaries are absolutely unbeatable, five times the industry average.

Therefore, recruiting skilled workers and engineers went smoothly.

However, we encountered some difficulties with the research team.

Researchers with doctoral degrees, while valuing salary and benefits, also consider career prospects and research capabilities.

Many people who had initially agreed to the job immediately said they would consider it again once they heard that the work location was in Gaolu Town.

Some people even turned hostile upon discovering that their interviewer only had a college diploma.

Enraged, Gao Jingming cursed loudly after hanging up the phone.

I am, after all, a B-level talent who has led major projects, even if I am just a deputy.

He also chatted and laughed with academicians, even when it was just toasting.

That's pretty awesome, isn't it?!

Does it really matter whether you have a junior college degree or not?

All I did was ask some difficult questions during the interview.

If you can't answer, you can't answer. I didn't laugh. Is it worth getting defensive?

All that's left is to resort to personal attacks to regain confidence, isn't it?

He~~tui~~!

Driven to desperation, Gao Jingming started to have crooked ideas.

In subsequent recruitment processes, he never mentions the work address upfront.

As long as the other party agrees to the salary structure and job content, he immediately has Zhou Jie, the finance manager, transfer the salary.

Subsequently, influenced by Li Ran's "kindness," this person had no time to back out, even if they wanted to.

And so, after much haste and effort, the team was finally assembled.

With the rapid expansion of the workforce, management pressures have also increased.

Gao Jingming is not a qualified manager.

Faced with a large team, he tried to use his previous experience in managing research teams to direct and mobilize the massive factory.

Although it involved some shortcuts, it was still enough to maintain order.

However, this management style is ultimately not a long-term solution.

Fortunately, Li Ran had previously promoted Guo Shuyan to B-level.

Faced with Gao Jingming's complaints, Li Ran quickly got Guo Shuyan in control of the situation.

Within three days, United Industries had completely stabilized and began operating at full capacity.

Looking at Guo Shuyan working at her desk, Li Ran felt glad she had made that decision.

Otherwise, if a major safety accident occurs due to mismanagement and you end up in jail, that would be a joke.

Unfortunately, the location is somewhat remote, and the factory isn't an office building, so you can't experience the joy of standing on a cloud overlooking all living beings.

Li Ran had originally tried to attach a talent spirit jade to himself, thinking he could experience the joy of learning calculus at the age of 14.

However, the system rejected it.

I can't load the cheat program, and I'm not exactly a studious or research-oriented person.

Therefore, Li Ran never considered using the item "Newton's Relic (Small)" that was the reward for completing the quest.

By staying put in the rear and not causing trouble for his subordinates, he has already defeated 99.9% of his competitors!

All I can do now is use the system tasks and my memories from before my rebirth to plan my future research path.

To prevent researchers from blindly pursuing paths that are known to be dead ends.

Before his rebirth, China's scientific research was a process of learning by imitation from the United States.

After catching up and surpassing, we began to feel our way across the river.

Taking one step at a time, sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, greatly increases the cost of trial and error.

Now, there's no need to worry.

With our own existence, we no longer need to fumble around for stones, nor do we need to fumble around for the Americans.

You touch me, and I, Li Ran, touch the system to guide you across the river.
