Return to the 80s, from touching loaches to becoming the world's richest man

Chapter 105: Beijing Railway Plant 1

After eating outside, Lu Hai and his friends went straight home.

It’s not that they don’t want to cook, but there’s nothing in the rented house now, so they can’t cook even if they want to, so they can only eat a few bites outside.

Uncle Liu had just returned home and had just finished his meal. He was sitting in the yard chatting with Aunt, which helped him digest his food.

I don’t know why. Uncle Liu clearly said that there were people living in the east courtyard, but in two days, I haven’t even seen the shadow of my neighbors.

But Lu Hai didn't worry about it. After all, he didn't allow others to be busy outside, right?

When Uncle Liu saw the young men coming back, there was no change in his expression.

Instead, the aunt enthusiastically asked everyone if they had eaten.

Lu Hai naturally replied with a smile, "Aunt, I have eaten. I came back this time to ask about the factory that Uncle Liu mentioned this morning."

When the aunt heard this, she immediately understood what was going on, and without interrupting the conversation, she said, "Okay, young man, take a seat. I'm going to go chat with the neighbor next door."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Lu Hai thanked her quickly. After sitting down, he looked at Uncle Liu and asked seriously, "Uncle Liu, let's talk about that thing this morning. I've been to that factory and it's really good. Do you have any connections?"

Uncle Liu did not deny it and nodded directly, "I do have one, but it's not cheap."

Lu Hai was stunned for a moment, but he also knew that although the rent these days was very cheap compared to later times.

But no matter how cheap it is, this is still Kyoto where every inch of land is valuable!

How can ordinary people afford the houses here?

"Also, I've thought about it, and I think, are you so sure that the policy will be open?"

When Lu Hai heard this, he knew that Uncle Liu was testing him.

Based on his actions and words towards Uncle Liu in the past two days, Lu Hai knew that Uncle Liu's identity was probably not simple.

Don't think that he lives here like an ordinary person.

However, from the way Uncle Liu spoke, Lu Hai knew that Uncle Liu was probably an official before he retired, and his position was not low.

Otherwise, the factories nowadays are all state-owned. Can ordinary people have this access?

Moreover, he has been hinting at this policy issue, probably to test whether he is really guessing it himself or has some internal channel information.

However, no matter how much Uncle Liu tried, the result was always the same.

After all, no one would have thought that Lu Hai was reborn from the future.

"Uncle Liu, you know I'm just an ordinary citizen. I came to Kyoto just to make a living. I'm just guessing about this policy."

"If it works, I can be the first person to try it out, and the profit will be the biggest, so I think I can take a gamble."

"Is it really just like that?" Uncle Liu looked at Lu Hai with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

"What else?" Lu Hai's expression remained the same, without any change at all.

"Hmm..." Uncle Liu nodded and didn't say anything more.

After all, he also realized that Lu Hai really seemed to have no information from any internal channels.

To be honest, if he had not held a high position before his retirement, and if his family had not had some say in China now, he would have thought that Lu Hai was crazy.

After all, there have been similar news in the past few years since the reform and opening up, but when it will come is still an unknown.

The higher-ups have kept it secret, and we only heard some news this year.

However, these few young people who suddenly came here to rent a house came for this very reason.

This is naturally a bit suspicious.

So, I asked a few more questions.

Now that he couldn't get anything out of him, Uncle Liu naturally gave up.

"Okay, take this letter of introduction and go to Beijing Railway No. 1 Factory to find their leaders. When they see the letter, they will naturally know." Uncle Liu did not delay and directly handed the letter to Lu Hai.

After all, when he was in office, he always advocated a liberalized policy, but due to various reasons, it was never realized.

Now, he naturally wants to see whether what he insisted on was right or wrong.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Liu." After Lu Hai took the letter of introduction, he put it directly into his pocket.

"No need to thank me. It's just a piece of cake for me. It's nothing. However, I won't give you a discount on the money just because of my face." Uncle Liu waved his hand and didn't say much.

"As long as there is a way, it's enough." Lu Hai smiled and was very satisfied with this. After all, one can't be greedy for everything, right?

"Okay, it's getting late. I'm an old man and I can't compete with you young people. I'm going to go to bed first."

After saying that, Uncle Liu stood up and walked towards his room.

And Lu Hai just watched Uncle Liu leave quietly...

......

......

The next day, Lu Hai got up early.

After breakfast, we went directly to Beijing Railway No. 1 Works.

To be honest, before this he really didn't expect that this factory building actually belonged to Beijing Railway No. 1 Factory.

This can be said to be a large state-owned factory, and its efficiency is beyond reproach.

Moreover, as one of the few large factories with tens of thousands of employees, its history is also quite glorious.

It can be said that among all the ironware such as the sewer pipes in Kyoto or the stoves in the homes of Kyoto residents, there must be one that came from the Kyoto Railway Works No. 1.

However, when Lu Hai came to Kyoto, it was already the late 80s. With the opening of policies, the competitiveness of the Beijing Railway No. Works at that time was completely inferior to that of private enterprises.

After all, state-owned enterprises all have stable jobs, so naturally many people just want to get by. They definitely cannot compare with the wolf culture of private enterprises.

When Lu Hai arrived in Kyoto, the Kyoto Railway Works No. 1 was almost on the verge of bankruptcy.

Moreover, because there are too many people working in these factories and their market competitiveness is insufficient, it is obviously not feasible to rely on the state to keep them alive.

After all, there are more and more factories like this, and the country certainly cannot take care of them all.

Therefore, the Beijing Railway No. 1 Factory had no choice but to close down and go bankrupt.

Because the Beijing Railway Works No. 1 was so huge, and tens of thousands of people were unemployed at the same time, it caused a lot of uproar at the time.

Even Lu Hai, who had just arrived in Kyoto, had heard of it, so he went to find out more about it.

Only then did I have a preliminary understanding of Beijing Railway No. 1 Works.

But it was almost ten years later that the Beijing Railway No. 1 Works went bankrupt, and at present it is still a large state-owned factory.

It is no exaggeration to say that he makes a fortune every day.

If it doesn't matter, even if you want to rent their unused factory, it will probably be impossible.

After all, people don't care about the money you spend on renting a house.

Even though this house has been vacant for a long time, I still haven't thought about renting out this idle factory.

Therefore, as soon as Lu Hai and his group entered the door, they were stopped immediately.

When the security guard heard that a few people were planning to rent the idle factory building in his factory, he was immediately surprised.

"Our factory has no precedent of renting out houses. Leave now, or I will kick you out directly."

When Lu Hai heard this, he immediately felt displeased. As expected, no matter where he went, those people below would always use chicken feathers as a token of authority.

However, the current situation was beyond my control, so I could only reluctantly take out the letter of introduction.

"Comrade, this is our letter of introduction. We were introduced here by someone. Do you want to inform the higher-ups?"

When the security guard heard there was a letter of introduction, he took it immediately.

Although he was not very literate, he knew that most of the people who came with letters of introduction had connections, and they were not people that a small security guard like him could afford to offend.

His originally stern face suddenly smiled and said,

"Comrade, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had this letter of introduction? Please wait here for a moment, and I will inform you right away."

After saying that, the security guard ran towards the office building...
