And some things I didn't know about have happened.
Over the years, Wang Shouren's life has not been smooth sailing; to be honest, he has encountered quite a few problems.
If it weren't for the Tai Chi (Grandmaster) skill the system gave him, he estimated he wouldn't have lived this long.
The most dangerous time was around 1969. Someone seemed to have their eye on the top leader and somehow learned that the leader had left a message for Wang Shouren. So they took some men to find Wang Shouren and asked him to come along.
He almost didn't make it back that time.
After 1969, all sorts of demons and monsters began to emerge.
He experienced quite a few dangerous situations during those years.
He originally thought that by this point in time, it was highly unlikely that anyone would bother him anymore.
But now, it seems there's something he himself doesn't know about.
However, Wang Shouren was not in a hurry and happily brewed tea for everyone.
"So, you three, you've got some rare free time this year, so I must congratulate you on your fortune."
He was aware of what the neighboring factory was up to. Pursuing a low-price strategy was something he welcomed. It was clear the future market was going to be even more exciting. However, none of this concerned him.
Qin Tian remained calm and chatted leisurely with Wang Shouren.
Factory Director Liu, however, couldn't contain himself and said, "Hey Lao Wang, why aren't you in a hurry at all?"
"Why should I be in such a hurry?" Wang Shouren glanced at him. "You're just too hasty. If you had been any later..."
"Any later and you'd build your own factory? Don't you have a conscience?" Factory Director Liu said irritably.
To be honest, he had his eye on Wang Shouren's industrial park a long time ago; he couldn't stand staying in his dilapidated factory for even a moment.
The advantage of an industrial park lies in its transportation, and sometimes he can even get his hands on Wang Shouren's supplies. He couldn't have lived a more comfortable life in this industrial park.
"You can't keep a secret either. Tell me, what is it?" Wang Shouren asked.
"Hey, your factory got bugs. Someone took your goods out and sold them to Xue San. Xue San cleaned them up and dumped them at the supply and marketing cooperative. You didn't know about this, did you?"
"Xue San?" Wang Shouren paused for a moment. "What's his background?"
"A street thug," Qin Tian added.
What happens next?
A street thug wouldn't have allowed all three of them to come to him at the same time. And he still had that smug, self-satisfied attitude.
Besides, what kind of thug would be so foolish as to mess with his factory? They either have connections everywhere, or they're blinded by money. And the "thug" Qin Tian is talking about isn't just any ordinary person.
In Beijing, there is a group of people who are neither good enough for high-level jobs nor good enough for low-level ones, but happen to come from well-off families.
They didn't want to go to work either, and coincidentally, the government announced plans to develop the economy, so this group of people went out to run their own "businesses."
As for how they make a mess of things, that's another story; someone will always clean up their mess.
"The connection is with the Sun family. The head of the Sun family has been busy lately and hasn't had time to deal with that brat. I reckon he's got his eye on you." Qin Tian said with a hint of schadenfreude, "How about it, do you want me to put in a good word for you?"
"Okay, please say hello for me." Wang Shouren nodded.
He didn't want to provoke these people; it was too much trouble. Although he wasn't afraid, it was still a real hassle. If things really turned sour, it would cause even more problems. He preferred to stay within his own little world and had no interest in expanding outwards.
"No, that's it?"
"Otherwise, you really want me to handle it myself?" Wang Shouren flicked his cigarette ash. "If you really intend for me to handle it myself, what are you doing here? Tell me, what trouble are you trying to cause this time?"
Qin Tian chuckled.
Goodness, the offense and defense have completely reversed positions!
Originally, they were the ones who came to provide information to Wang Shouren, but now it's the other way around—they're the ones eagerly trying to solve Wang Shouren's problems.
"Hey, I've really noticed. Your shamelessness these days is just... just..." Director Liu couldn't think of a good word to describe it for a moment: "Alright, I won't waste my breath on you anymore. Don't you have some empty spaces next to your industrial park? Want to rent them out?"
"What's this, expanding?" Wang Shouren raised an eyebrow.
That was unexpected.
In fact, if an industrial park isn't too big, Wang Shouren could easily take it all over by himself.
However, his industrial park was initially designed to be quite large. Moreover, he didn't intend to continue expanding within Beijing. Beijing wasn't a suitable city for industry; reaching a certain scale was enough. He figured he'd build factories elsewhere later, perhaps in the south or the north. It would depend on which city's leaders were more inclined towards development and could afford the necessary conditions.
Therefore, he had quite a few factory buildings left.
These factories naturally attracted attention.
Whether it's expanding or opening a new factory, both Factory Director Liu and Deputy Factory Director Wu want to simply take what's already there.
"Name your price," Qin Tian said cheerfully.
"The price isn't expensive."
Compared to the profits from motorcycles, the rent for the factory became a trivial matter.
"However, can your men maintain order in the industrial park? Don't cause a lot of trouble later on."
This is what Wang Shouren was most concerned about.
"Don't worry, we understand your rules."
"Then it's a deal. I'll have someone give you a price later. As for how you want the renovations done, you can either find a construction team in the industrial park or hire someone yourself. I have no objection to that. Just don't damage the external facilities."
"We're not stupid. We came here just to get what we have from you."
"Okay, it's settled then."
At their level, a transaction is just a matter of a few words. Once the agreement is reached, it's time for casual conversation.
"What's the deal with this Xue San guy? Why is he suddenly targeting me?" Wang Shouren asked curiously.
"There's no real situation. That Xue San, because the second generation of the Sun family is backing him, he's capable of anything. He's targeting you because your people are willing to supply him. It's that simple. And he's a lawless guy, so that's how it ended up."
"Lawless?" Wang Shouren frowned. "Just leave it like this?"
"What else can we do?" Qin Tian sneered. "If we don't deal with the people behind this, there's still Xue Si, Xue Wu, and Xue Liu."
