Synopsis

To restart his failed life, Chen Feijin transmigrates to the 1980s and becomes a factory director. He can also travel to his college days in 2007.

With the ability to travel freely between three different time periods, Chen Feijin sets himself a modest goal: to become the richest man in the world.

“I’m selling products from decades in the future. How do you plan to deal with that?”

“I only had to make a slight effort to see the limits of this level.”

But...

He only wanted to break the Japanese monopoly on carbon-fiber fishing rods. How did he end up being selected for a national military-industrial program and tasked with building fighter jets?

The Navy came to tell him his rope was the same kind used as an aircraft carrier arresting cable by the Americans. They buy it for $300,000 and resell it for $10 million a length!

He made a delivery drone, but the military snatched it up and modified it to carry missiles. Online commenters all say he’s making things up.

He developed anti-rust paint for cars, but accidentally went down the wrong tech path and somehow became a leading expert in stealth materials. His work was directly applied to stealth coatings for military aircraft.

His nuclear-powered cargo ship, weighing over 200,000 tons, really isn’t an aircraft carrier. It’s meant to generate electricity for island communities and desalinate seawater.

He only gave Uncle Sam’s people some pointers in his spare time. How did he become a warlord’s ace strategist?

“Please, I’m a private company. Don’t force me into the military-industrial business!”

Looking for Stories Where Everyone Thinks They Are Being Strangled by Foreign Technology, but They Have Actually Put Their Sweater on Backward

I'm looking for high-tech stories where a private company quietly advances technology while the country thinks foreign powers are choking off its supply chains, when really it's just been wearing its sweater inside out. Things like arresting cables, stealth paint, and drones, leading to a sweeping investigation of the country's industries. I want that kind of satisfying story.
