Lin Chuan pondered briefly, "Not doing well?"
"Yeah!"
Shen Qianqian let out a light sigh, "My dad said that a certain bubble economy has started copsing. From construction to decoration, the demand for steel has plummeted. Coupled with the mismanagement of Anling Iron and Steel Factory, it''s now facing closure."
Lin Chuan furrowed his brows slightly.
Having transitioned from a toy factory to a military factory in the Virtual World, he had a certain understanding of the steel industry.
The building industry''s slump would first hit the steel industry.
The entire real estate construction''s demand for steel ounted for a third of the national steel output.
Now that there''s heavy development in the automotive industry, even though the steel required by automobiles isn''t as much as that for real estate construction, it can still offer some cushioning.
However, for Anling,
Since Anling doesn''t have an automobile brand, it is indeed difficult for steel factories to operate, and many workers are facingyoffs.
Under such circumstances, the steel factory has no other option but to close.
"s..."
The Little Landy beside him also sighed, "Chairman, ourpany''s technical director Li Qing, his father is an employee of the steel factory and has already beenid off. It seems the steel factory really is difficult to manage."
After a moment of silence, Lin Chuan offered this suggestion, "Under these circumstances, there needs to be a transformation."
"How do we transform?"
Shen Qianqian''s eyebrows knit slightly, showing some curiosity.
"Transform into a toy factory." Lin Chuanughed.
"A toy factory?"
Shen Qianqian was taken aback.
"I mean, thoserge-size toys," Lin Chuan said with a smile.
"Large-size toys, you mean transform into the military industry?" Shen Qianqian''s frown deepened as she seriously pondered the idea.
Lin Chuan leaned back against the sofa, recliningfortably, "If it reallyes down to it, aligning with the military industry is also pretty good; the military has a great demand for steel."
"Comrade Lin Chuan, your suggestion is very constructive. I''ll mention it to my dad and have him raise the idea to the higher-ups," Shen Qianqian said with a beaming smile.
"Then, could Uncle Shen also lend a hand with my rocketuncher manufacturing?"
Lin Chuanughed heartily.
"How could I say no?" Shen Qianqian chuckled as she spoke, yfully sticking out her tongue.
"Then I really appreciate it,"
Lin Chuan said as he sat up, smiling.
"But don''t get your hopes up too high," Shen Qianqian said, changing her tone, "Since the steel factory is facing closure, they''ve sold off manyrge pieces of equipment. I can''t guarantee they''ll be able to whip up your rocketuncher."
"No problem at all,"
Lin Chuan grinned, "When does Uncle Shen have some time? I''d like to pay him a visit."
This ''Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher'' has a quiteplex manufacturing process, a lot of which needs to be hands-on.
Therefore, he needs to prepare in advance.
Otherwise, Lin Chuan worried he wouldn''t make it to the finals in time.
The exposure of the finals of the ''National Weapon Innovation Design Competition'' would definitely be massive!
Securing recognition from 100,000 people, it would be a sure thing!
"He''s not busy at all right now, and I can take you to meet him anytime," Shen Qianqian nodded.
"That''s perfect." Lin Chuan grinned broadly, "How about the day after tomorrow? I''ll work on the rocketuncher blueprints in the next two days and then list the materials we need."
"Hold on!"
Shen Qianqian suddenly said.
"What''s up?" Lin Chuan looked at Shen Qianqian, a bit surprised.
```
However, Shen Qianqian was even more astonished, "Lin Chuan, you just said that you are preparing the technical drawings thesest two days?"
"Yeah, what about it?" Lin Chuan nodded and asked.
"Does that mean you''ve already figured out the detailed data for your rocketuncher?" Shen Qianqian asked, frowning.
"Uh, that''s correct," Lin Chuan nodded.
"Do you have secrets unknown to others?" Shen Qianqian asked, staring nkly.
"Shouldn''t I?"
Lin Chuan countered.
Shen Qianqian was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.
Comparing with others could really kill a person!
A web novel writer knows how to make rocketunchers, who would believe that if told?
Time to slip away.
Shen Qianqian hurriedly made up an excuse to leave.
"Chairman, you scared Sister Qianqian away," the Little Landy teased as she popped a grape into Lin Chuan''s mouth.
"I''m just telling the truth," Lin Chuan said with an innocent face.
Although it might sound unbelievable, I really do know how.
"No exaggeration?"
The Little Landy blinked her eyes.
Lin Chuan nodded solemnly, "Not at all!"
"Chairman, how do you fit so much stuff in your head?" the Little Landy asked curiously as she poked Lin Chuan''s head.
"Maybe that''s just genius,"
Lin Chuan joked before looking at the Little Landy, "How about we invest in Anling Iron and Steel Factory?"
"Are you really nning on starting a military factory?" the Little Landy asked, taken aback.
Lin Chuan nodded.
The Little Landy knew quite a bit about thepany''s business and quickly asked, "How do you n to invest, with capital?"
Lin Chuan gently stroked the Little Landy''s soft hair and smiled, "We don''t have that much capital, I''m thinking of investing with technology!"
"State-owned capital investment, and you contribute technology?" the Little Landy asked.
"Right."
Lin Chuan nodded in affirmation.
"I''d also support you if you need capital," the Little Landy said with a beaming smile.
"No need, my technology is extremely powerful,"
Lin Chuan said with a confident smile on his face.
The technology and experience umted in the Virtual World were indeed priceless.
"Then you''re about to be the real-life version of an Arms Tycoon!"
The Little Landy teased, joking, "After that, no one will dare to mess with you."
"The main thing is that no one will dare to mess with you,"
Lin Chuanughed heartily and ruffled the Little Landy''s head.
His intention to invest in Anling Iron and Steel Factory and transform it into a military factory wasn''t actually because he wanted to be a real-life Arms Tycoon.
What he hoped for more was to use this as a means of ensuring Xinxin''s safety.
After all,
with a military background, who would dare to mess with Xinxin?
Even the Morgan Group would have to grind its teeth and swallow them!
