1986: Starting with a Factory

Was it better to set up a factory in the South, especially in the 1980s?

1. Winning the top prize in a science and technology competition blocked the path for other organizations and foreign-invested enterprises; 2. We are temporarily unable to secure a continuous and stable supply of parts and other materials. 3. Other companies tried to curry favor and build rapport by discussing OEM manufacturing, but the protagonist flatly refused.

Class of '86, Mechanical Engineering? Back then, there was no computer-aided drafting; everything was hand-drawn, which was incredibly hard work. I was in the Automation major in '87, and after just one semester of mechanical drawing, my back and legs ached from all the work. 😭

The mechanical aspects of the plot were quite good, but the supporting characters' reactions were too short-lived, lacking personality and too stereotypical. Now, whenever people around me watch short dramas, the lines coming from the loudspeaker make my head buzz.

It's a pleasure to read. Although my undergraduate and master's degrees are also in mechanics, the specific research direction is not so detailed. It's more enjoyable to read than the previous book. It's well written. The results are not a pity. If you stick to it, there will definitely be a place for authors of industrial literature.

The author is definitely over fifty years old; many plot points in the book are very old-fashioned—not just clichéd, but truly old-fashioned. You couldn't write something like that if you weren't older.

I've really enjoyed the updates these past two days. Thank you for your hard work, author! 😁 Keep it up! 😜

Well written, a solid read, worth taking a look.

It's difficult to write a truly gripping and exciting story in a serious industrial-themed realistic novel. Keep it up, author! Support with monthly tickets!
