A new guide to winning over a girlfriend with an abstract identity is released every week.

Lin Zheng, a recent high school graduate, dared to bring a girl to another city to buy goods.

This person, who was highly skilled, daring, and most likely from a wealthy family, left a deep impression on him.

What's more, the two of them had talked on the phone yesterday. Lin Zheng said he had something important, something good, that he wanted to talk to him about.

Unexpectedly, this young man showed up without saying a word today.

He immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Hey? Brother Lin, why did you come all by yourself? You should have called ahead and I would have come to pick you up!"

"Hehe~, it's okay. My driver drove me here directly. Brother Tao, you go ahead and do your work. We can talk later. I have something very important to discuss with you in private."

Lin Zheng chuckled, shook hands with him, and then sat down on the sofa next to him.

The intern poured a glass of water for him and Zhou Shishi each, and then left.

Liu Tao touched his head. Why did he suddenly have a feeling that his life was about to take a turn for the better?

"Okay, brother, wait for me. I'll be done with this soon."

Seeing this, he smiled and nodded, then returned to his seat and chatted with a middle-aged man who looked somewhat weathered and was estimated to be around forty years old.

Judging from the way the two were talking.

This uncle is also here to buy in bulk, but he's using a combination of offline and online shopping platforms, a more traditional way of selling.

This sales model is very difficult, and it's hard to make money from it.

Firstly, offline sales involve high store costs, and many people are embarrassed to buy this stuff directly, so they usually do it secretly, making offline business not actually very good.

Secondly, with so many online shopping platforms, to gain a certain level of exposure, one has to engage in fake orders to boost sales, making the competition incredibly fierce.

In the end, the man ordered about 100,000 yuan worth of goods, signed the contract, and left with a nervous heart.

"Hey? Brother, you've come all the way to Xingcheng, what big business are you planning to do? If I remember correctly, emmm, your family is from Songyun City, right?"

After finishing the contract negotiations, Liu Tao sat down on the sofa opposite Lin Zheng, with a coffee table between them.

"I must have something good to come looking for you, bro. Are you free? Let's find a place outside, eat and chat, what do you think?"

Lin Zheng smiled slightly and made the suggestion.

"Oh? Go outside?"

Liu Tao was stunned for a moment. He checked the time and realized he still had some time before he got off work.

The factory management has recently gone mad again. Salespeople who are out in business are required to clock out on time, which is just unbelievable.

Faced with Lin Zheng's mysterious situation, a normal person would probably just refuse.

But sales are different.

A man who appeared to be from a wealthy family, someone I had previously worked with in business, came all the way from afar, saying he had something very important to discuss in detail.

Dry!

"Alright, then I'll take you to try some of Xingcheng's specialties. Today we're having a one-stop shop for food and foot massage, it's on me."

Liu Tao chuckled, stood up, and grabbed the car keys provided by the factory.

"Brother Tao, I drove here, you don't need to drive, just ride in my car."

Seeing this, Lin Zheng offered a reminder.

"Oh? That works too."

Liu Tao paused for a moment, then quickly smiled and nodded.

He was a little confused about what Lin Zheng was trying to do.

If it's just about negotiating a contract, does it really need to go to such lengths?

The three of them went downstairs together and had just left the factory gate.

Liu Tao immediately spotted a brand-new Bentley parked at the intersection.

He's a car enthusiast, but unfortunately he doesn't have the money to buy a good one.

Then he looked down on cars that cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even two or three hundred thousand.

Therefore, he doesn't actually own a car; he usually drives the factory's vehicles.

His eyes lit up when he suddenly saw a new Bentley.

Moreover, he had never seen this car before at the factory.

He glanced at the car, then at Lin Zheng and Zhou Shishi walking toward the Bentley.

The key is.

A woman got out of the car, walked quickly to the back door, and opened it for them.

Holy crap! This kid really is a rich kid!

Liu Tao was shocked. He quickly caught up and asked, "Brother, is this car yours?"

Lin Zheng chuckled and nodded: "I guess so."

Duan Fei did not refute these words.

After all, if someone is willing to spend over 200,000 yuan to rent a car for seven days, she doesn't believe they can't afford to buy one.

Seemingly sensing the longing in Liu Tao's eyes for the car, Lin Zheng tentatively suggested, "Brother Tao, how about taking it for a spin?"

"Hmm? Is that okay? Then I won't be polite. I love driving luxury cars."

Liu Tao immediately retorted, his mouth wide open in a wide grin, and he even rubbed his hands together.

This is like Lin Zheng presenting him with a beautiful woman and asking if he's interested, or if he wants to ride her.

"It's a rental, so feel free to drive it. You can lead the way."

Lin Zheng nodded, then asked Duan Fei to sit in the passenger seat.

Then, the four of them set off.

When it was his first time driving a Bentley, Liu Tao was initially very careful.

Having been an experienced driver for a while, he quickly accelerated after getting the hang of it, reaching 100 km/h in the suburbs.

At this speed, the ride inside the car is very smooth with minimal vibration.

Soon, the group arrived at a mid-range restaurant in Xingcheng.

Liu Tao generously ordered a bunch of dishes, which were actually not expensive, only around five or six hundred yuan.

And finally, he also asked for an invoice so he could get reimbursed.

Lin Zheng didn't keep him in suspense any longer. During the meal, he directly asked Liu Tao how much it would cost to build a sex toy manufacturing plant.

Upon hearing this, Liu Tao was stunned.

He remained silent for a long time, only glancing at Lin Zheng with surprise and suspicion.

Holy crap! Could this be the important thing he was talking about?

"Brother, you want to open a factory?" Liu Tao asked uncertainly.

Lin Zheng nodded and asked, "Brother, so what should I do if I want to open a factory?"

Chapter 249 Liu Tao's Ambition

Although it's true that you can hardly make any money by opening a factory in the manufacturing industry these days.

However, for most people, starting a factory is indeed a visible path to entrepreneurship.

It's about its rate of return...

In general, for newcomers starting a factory, the risks far outweigh the rewards.

Seeing that Lin Zheng asked sincerely, Liu Tao naturally answered sincerely as well.

I want to open a sex toy manufacturing plant.

For those small-scale operations that can only produce a few simple products, a minimum investment of five million is required.

Moreover, these factories can only produce simple products and use simple technology, relying mainly on semi-automatic and manual processes. They have very weak competitiveness and are practically surviving in the cracks.

While opening this kind of factory requires a small investment, the probability of losing money is ridiculously high.

Lin Zheng nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

It turns out that starting a factory requires a minimum investment of five million, and even then, it's not guaranteed that you'll actually make money.

Secondly, for small and medium-sized factories with a certain scale, which can meet the needs of most products on the market, the initial investment for setting up a factory is between ten million and thirty million.

Liu Tao whispered, "The Xinglu factory you're in now has an investment scale of around 25 million. To be honest, if your funds are less than 20 million, I really don't recommend you squeeze in, you'll lose money."

Uh, twenty million...

Lin Zheng was a little embarrassed by what he said.

Full of enthusiasm, they ended up saying the starting price was 20 million.

Holy crap.

He did the math, and considering his current situation, twenty million...

If he can't attract investment, it will be difficult for him to earn 20 million in a short period of time!

Not wanting to lose face, Lin Zheng pretended to be calm and continued to ask, "So, brother, what's the situation with those top-tier domestic brands?"

"Domestic big manufacturers? Like Chunshui? Those kinds of manufacturers are awesome. They not only have independent R&D capabilities, but also use imported equipment for some of their high-end products."

Liu Tao picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth. As he chewed, he said, "For a top-tier domestic factory like this, the investment would need to be at least a small fortune, or even two or three hundred million."

Seeing Lin Zheng frown, seemingly not understanding why a front-line factory would require such a large investment, he continued to explain: "There's a reason why front-line factories require high investment."

It's not that I'm being a Western worshipper, but these days, the more high-end the product, the more likely the processing equipment is imported. For example, those nanoscale skeletons can't be made with domestic equipment.

Of course, ordinary people can't afford it either.

Lin Zheng was interested in opening a factory, so Liu Tao naturally tried his best to befriend him, telling him almost everything.

He took out his phone and showed him several internal videos.

One of the high-end sex dolls made Lin Zheng gasp in shock.

Goodness, this thing is almost indistinguishable from a real person.

It can make sounds, and its hands and feet can move freely, allowing it to easily assume various poses.

The skin texture is indistinguishable from that of a real person.

The downsides...

It still doesn't look natural enough.

Simply put, it doesn't seem like a local system.

But it's still much, much better than those costing several thousand.

He chatted with Liu Tao about this for a while.

Having learned the general situation, it is currently the artificial intelligence that is limiting the further development of this thing. We just need to wait for another breakthrough in AI to significantly improve intelligence.

With the development of sex dolls, they can become more realistic, and it's not impossible that they could even replace one's partner in the future.

Although Liu Tao's statement contained elements of boasting.

However... Lin Zheng did see the market potential of this thing at a glance.

Isn't the marriage rate low now?

There are many single men and women.

However, everyone gets lonely and wants a partner.

A lifelike humanoid, the kind that is completely obedient, could sell for tens of thousands of dollars if it were realistic enough, and plenty of people would be willing to pay for it.

It seems that a certain richest man in the United States publicly stated that he wanted to make a Catwoman robot or something, with an estimated price of 150,000.

Of course, the realism of this thing isn't high enough now. Buying it is just like buying a large doll; it's not very useful, but it's a pity to throw it away.

"Hehe~, brother, to be honest, the manufacturing industry is sluggish, but some industries are not. When a whale falls, everything comes back to life. You must understand this principle."

This industry definitely has great potential for the future.
