Riding the Tides in 1990: Starting as Factory Director

Billionaire Xie Yang, who made his fortune through smart technology, has his soul transmigrated into the body of a technical apprentice from 1990 who also happens to be named Xie Yang.

There is no way he is going to work for someone else.

Even in an era when the average monthly wage is just over 100 yuan, a 400-yuan monthly salary will not make him settle for being an employee.

Starting with a series of bold moves like empty-handedly taking secondhand CNC equipment from a foreign businessman, then using the equipment as an investment in the factory to secure half the shares, and finally mortgaging the factory to get a bank loan...

From there, Xie Yang keeps going further and further down the road of making something out of nothing.

From modifying secondhand CNC machine tools, to switches, computers, and mobile phones...

Even though the factory's industries eventually span smartphones, smart homes, smart cars, intelligent navigation, AI algorithms, and many other artificial intelligence fields, he still insists that he is nothing more than a factory manager.

Not having enough manufacturing technology?

Then plan ahead, poach talent everywhere, and throw money at the problem. Hard problem?

The satellite system won't let him use it?

Then he will just design and launch his own satellite...

Factory Manager Xie's guiding principle: walk on other people's roads and leave them with nowhere to go. For example, that guy who got rich through electric scooters can only watch him grind his teeth in frustration and do nothing about it...
