Chapter 129: The Overlord of the South
Zhang Yunqi's words amused the two girls. The tall and cheerful girl said with a smile: "Since Wang Guozhen's poems are so useful, you should like them even more. Otherwise, how can you pick up girls at school?"

Zhang Yunqi said, "I'm still young, so I don't have this need." He patted Wang Guibing on the shoulder and said, "The guy next to me is in his prime. Why don't we change seats? You can get in touch with him and have a good conversation. Who knows, you might end up having a train romance."

The tall girl didn't even blush and said, "From the tone of your voice, you're not a small person at all. Why change seats? Are you targeting my friend?"

Zhang Yunqi was bored and said nonsense: "What do you call this? Your kindness is taken for granted. There are bad people everywhere on the train. You look like this, which has already caused a great negative impact on society. If you don't believe me, look around. There are tens of thousands of perverts staring at you. As a responsible citizen, I said to change seats only to avoid increasing the crime rate."

They all laughed and said, how could you say such shameless words?

In fact, girls in those days all liked men with good tongues. Poetry and literature were not necessary conditions. As long as the man had a good tongue and a shameless revolutionary spirit, he could capture most girls alive.

Actually, this woman is pretty good-looking. She is tall, skinny where she should be skinny, and fat where she should be fat. When she smiles, her breasts are as vast as the sea. Unfortunately, she has a big mouth. She has been chattering non-stop since she got on the car. She has no temperament at all.

Twelve hours later, the train finally arrived at Xiangshan.

The train was like a pregnant woman, carefully and slowly stopping at the platform, and then taking out piles of people from its huge belly, instantly filling up the exit. After the train left, the dense crowds of people left behind were like ants after a flood, biting and pulling each other, crawling with limping legs and broken hands into every alley, every house, and every inch of land in the city.

Historically, Xiangshan is an ancient land. The ancient Yue people lived here by fishing and hunting in the Neolithic Age more than 5000 years ago. According to the Taiping Huanyuzhi of the Tang Dynasty, Wugui Mountain in the area is rich in exotic flowers, and the fragrance spreads for dozens of miles, hence the name Xiangshan.

After the founding of New China, especially after the county was abolished and the city was changed in 83, Xiangshan City developed rapidly and became one of the central cities in the Pearl River Delta. At the same time, many celebrities were born here, such as Chen Lin and Zhou Shangwen in ancient times, and Louis Koo and Sally Yeh in modern times. As for the most famous one, of course, it is the founding father of the country, Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

The two girls sitting opposite Zhang Yunqi were born and raised in Xiangshan. The tall girl was called Sun Xixi and the other was called Lu Jing. On the way out of the train station, the two girls introduced their hometowns to them and told them where to eat and have fun. Zhang Yunqi casually asked, "Where are you from in Xiangshan?"

Sun Xixi said: "It belongs to Minzhong Town."

Zhang Yunqi thought for a moment and said, "Do you know a man named Hu Zhibiao? He is in his early twenties, tall, and has a square face."

Both girls shook their heads and said they didn't know him.

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "Why don't you leave your contact information? Since we're riding in the same car, we're destined to be together. I'll treat you to a meal some other day."

Sun Xixi looked at Zhang Yunqi's rosy face and asked, "Are we really just having a meal?"

Zhang Yunqi said happily: "You can eat other things if you want."

"That's settled." Sun Xixi took out a ballpoint pen with a smile on her face, wrote the contact information on Wang Guozhen's poetry collection, and handed the collection to Zhang Yunqi.

Zhang Yunqi took the poetry collection, immediately hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and directly paid 100 yuan to the driver, saying: "You must serve these two ladies well!"

After Sun Xixi and Lu Jing left, Wang Guibing, who was standing next to them, sighed and said, "Brother Yun, you've grabbed all the attention of the two girls along the way. I couldn't get a word in. When are you going to teach me how to pick up girls?" "Memorize it word for word."

Zhang Yunqi threw the collection of poems to Wang Guibing, then stopped a car on the side of the road. After leaving the train station, the two found a hotel in the city and stayed there for the night.

At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhang Yunqi changed into a suit he had bought specially, looked at himself in the mirror, and felt that he looked a few years older and more presentable. Then he took Wang Guibing and took a taxi to the Rihua Electronics Factory in Xiangshan City.

The gate of the Rihua Electronics Factory seemed to have been renovated not long ago and looked brand new, but standing outside and looking inside, all they saw were low, dilapidated houses, some with traces of being old and broke. Wang Guibing frowned and said, "Why are we here? Brother Yun, do you know anyone here?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled: "We got to know each other quickly."

At that time, not many people knew about the Rihua Electronics Factory, but it didn’t take long before the name it changed became well-known to everyone in the world, because it occupied the childhood memories of everyone born in the 80s in China, Subor Electronics Industrial Company.

Zhang Yunqi recalled that the Rihua Electronics Factory was established in 1987. However, the early Rihua was just a small workshop under the Xiangshan Yihua Group and was not worth mentioning at all. Due to poor management, poor profits, lack of enthusiasm of employees, high external debts, and losses of more than 200 million yuan, it had been on the verge of bankruptcy.

It was not until 1991 that the Rihua Electronics Factory gave up on mainframes, which had no future, and turned to producing home game consoles, which were copycats of Nintendo's Famicom. At the time, the product it made had almost the same performance as Nintendo's FC, but at only a quarter of the price, which was very suitable for China's national conditions at the time and was more popular in the market.

This wise move helped the Rihua Electronics Factory to survive the most difficult period and get back on track from the brink of bankruptcy. However, the situation in the domestic game console market was very complicated at that time, with hundreds of game manufacturers competing for the market. As early as the 80s, the island country's Little Genius had dominated China's game console market, as well as Tianjin's New Star, Shenzhen's Qishenglong, and so on. Coupled with the problem of counterfeiting and piracy, many manufacturers could not make any money. Piracy was pirated, and counterfeiting was counterfeiting. In short, among the countless game console companies during this period, the Rihua Electronics Factory was just one of the better ones. It made some money, but it was not invincible and could destroy anyone it could catch, otherwise its factory would not be in such a shabby state.

Zhang Yunqi knew that in the fiercely competitive game console manufacturing industry, what ultimately enabled Rihua Electronics Factory to stand out from the chaotic situation where many competitors emerged and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and to be far ahead was Rihua Electronics Factory's superior brand awareness and innovative thinking.

In 1993, this year, the Rihua Electronics Factory innovatively added a keyboard to the game console, creating the Subor learning machine that later became a household name.

Relying on this popular product, the Rihua Electronics Factory began its glorious years in the mid-90s. This company, which had been losing a million yuan, made a profit of 10 billion yuan in just three years, with a market share approaching 80%, and instantly became the leading "king" of the southern country in this industry.

In 1995, Subor reached the peak of glory, with an annual output value of 8 million yuan. Subor's Chinese and English computer learning machine was even recommended by the National Youth Work Committee of the Communist Youth League Central Committee and Wangma Computer Company as the only designated training machine for the "National Children's Computer Knowledge and Wubi Font Input Competition".

Recalling every little detail of this enterprise, Zhang Yunqi felt that he was reborn too late. If it had been two years earlier, the Rihua Electronics Factory would have been heavily in debt and had been on the verge of bankruptcy. It would have been relatively easy to take it over. But now the Rihua Electronics Factory has already emerged from the quagmire.

It is already mid-April. If nothing unexpected happens, according to the trajectory of the previous life, the first generation of Subor learning machine has been successfully developed and will soon be released, thus ushering in its glorious prelude.

Zhang Yunqi had no interest in this shabby factory. What he envied were the group of Chinese business tycoons in this factory, including Shen Wei, chairman of VIVO Blue Factory, Chen Mingyong, chairman of OPPO Green Factory, and Jin Zhijiang, CEO of BBK. Of course, the most important one was definitely Duan Yongping, who was no longer in the business world and was just a legend.

 Sorry for the late update.
