Back to the Layoff Wave of the 1990s: I Lead the Whole Factory to Prosperity

When he was young, Cheng Shi, a factory worker, was forced out of his job after someone else took credit for his work. He headed south to find work and, through his own hard work and talent, became a top entrepreneur and electromechanical expert.

Because machine-tool technology, hailed as the “mother of industry,” lagged behind, he and his fellow Chinese spent their whole lives being crushed by the West, swallowing their indignation year after year.

And because he missed his chance to be there for his mother and sister, he regretted it for the rest of his life.

So when he was reborn in 1990, just before being laid off, he resolved to protect his family and give them the chance to enjoy the happiness that his wealth could bring.

Starting from square one, he would make sure domestically developed precision CNC machine tools shone in the production of high-speed rail lines spanning the country, planes soaring through the sky, and aircraft carriers ruling the seas. He would lead Longguo’s machinery and electronics industries to the top of the world twenty years ahead of schedule!
