Xie Yang, a billionaire who made his fortune in smart technology, transmigrates into the body of an apprentice technician with the same name in 1990.
Getting a job? Not a chance.
Even with a monthly salary of 400 yuan, back when the average person earned just over 100 yuan, he still wouldn’t get a job.
It all starts with a clever scheme: he acquires secondhand CNC equipment from foreign businessmen without putting up a penny, invests the equipment in a factory in exchange for half its shares, and then uses the factory as collateral to get a bank loan...
From then on, Xie Yang goes further and further down the road of getting something for nothing.
From upgrading secondhand CNC machine tools to switches, computers, and mobile phones...
Even though his factory’s business spans countless fields in artificial intelligence, including smartphones, smart homes, smart cars, smart navigation, and AI algorithms, he still thinks of himself as nothing more than a factory director.
Can’t get the manufacturing technology up to standard?
Plan ahead, poach talent everywhere, and throw money at the problem. Is it difficult?
They won’t let you use the satellite system?
Just design and launch your own satellites...
Factory Director Xie’s words of wisdom: Walk the road others have taken, and leave them with nowhere to go. For example, that guy who made his fortune with electric cars can only watch, grinding his teeth in frustration, with nothing he can do about it...
(Also known as The Years I Spent as a Factory Director, The Factory Director’s Rise from Nothing, and more...)
