To Lin Feng, money was just a number, a tool to achieve his goals. More of it wouldn't make him happier, and less of it wouldn't make him sad.
This was also why, after developing the Handwriting Robot in his previous life, he didn't leave his hometown for Foshan or Dongguan, but instead started his business right there.
To him, life in the big city wasn't as comfortable as his hometown. His parents were here, and he'd need to take care of them when they got older. Plus, he could conduct his research at home.
Now, reborn into this life, he cared even less about money and fame.
If it weren't for wanting to leverage the system's power to achieve his goals, he wouldn't have cared so much about his image in the eyes of his countrymen.
So, after a slight shake of his head, Lin Feng abandoned the idea of relocating the factory. As for how to solve the problem of insufficient production capacity, wasn't outsourcing popular now?
Even if the profit margin was a little lower, he couldn't turn his factory into a super-conglomerate that did everything and employed millions of workers, trying to swallow all the benefits in one go.
His factory only needed to focus on producing the most specialized and difficult core components. Other aspects could be resolved through cooperative research and development, or even by finding contract manufacturers for production.
This way, his hometown would only be responsible for producing the most challenging core components, while factories in other peripheral cities would produce the general parts. These would then be assembled into a product. This was the positioning he had in mind for Xingtu Technology.
Of course, the issue of formalizing the company, as mentioned by his mother, did need to be taken seriously.
Although Xingtu Technology had earned nearly ten million from the Handwriting Robot, the real Xingtu Technology was just a small workshop, both in terms of company structure and actual factory operations.
Currently, the management team consisted only of his parents. As for himself, he spent most of his time researching the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.
Except for product upgrades, Lin Feng hadn't interfered with the company's management or production affairs.
His parents' abilities were indeed limited, and they were also getting on in years. They should be enjoying a relaxed retirement instead of continuing to work for him.
Therefore, Lin Feng really needed to find a professional manager to run the company and establish its systems.
As for Qu Qiongying, whom he hadn't met yet, Lin Feng shook his head slightly and dismissed the idea.
Thinking women were too troublesome, he still believed it was better to find a professional manager directly.
Of course, even if Lin Feng wanted to recruit a suitable professional manager, they might not even want to come.
After all, his refusal to relocate meant his company's attribute positioning was that of a rural enterprise, which naturally made people look down on it.
Moreover, once the professional manager joined, they would definitely have to work and live in Xiaohe Town, which would be a difficult issue for them to accept.
People were realistic creatures; no one wanted to move from a better working and living environment to a worse one.
Finally, the Handwriting Robot was, after all, a niche product within a niche market, with very limited prospects, as anyone could see.
Therefore, finding someone, especially a suitable talent in Lin Feng's eyes, was destined to be no easy task.
After a moment's thought, Lin Feng shifted his focus to the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.
To recruit suitable talent, one had to demonstrate the astonishing potential of their company, allowing relevant talents to overlook external factors and choose to join them solely because of the company's amazing potential.
In this context, the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle was undoubtedly an important stepping stone. Through this invention and the Handwriting Robot, Lin Feng and Xingtu Technology could showcase his astonishing growth potential.
This was similar to Zhi Hui Jun, a genius inventor in his previous life. With his many astonishing inventions, even if the company he founded had no products, many investment firms would still be eager to invest money in him, and many researchers and company executives would want to join his penniless company. This demonstrated the importance of revealing astonishing growth potential.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed. It was evening, and as Lin Feng walked down from the fourth floor for dinner, he noticed two guests at home.
One was Uncle A-quan, whom Lin Feng had met a few times. The other was a girl who was forcing a smile to deal with Lin Feng's father, who was boasting about his son.
The girl had short, dark brown hair, styled similarly to the protagonist Miki Sumire in the previous life's TV drama "Unnatural Death."
She had large, bright eyes, a standard oval face, and her skin was as fair and delicate as jade. A faint smile played on her lips, immediately making people feel good about her.
His gaze moved down, and he noticed the girl was wearing a light blue shirt and a black skirt, giving off a clean, professional impression.
After scanning the girl's appearance, Lin Feng quickly turned his attention back to Uncle A-quan, unable to help but wonder if this girl was really Uncle A-quan's daughter. Hadn't he adopted her?
After all, the girl didn't resemble Uncle A-quan in appearance. Of course, it would be strange if they did resemble each other given Uncle A-quan's current appearance.
He had heard that Uncle A-quan had worked on construction sites since he was young, his entire face tanned dark, and his skin corroded by cement and other corrosive substances.
Coupled with his rapidly obese body after becoming a contractor in recent years, if they were to find any similarities, Lin Feng's mother would probably have been scared away upon seeing the girl.
"Come, come, Lin Feng, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Qu Qiongying. She's a genius! In just two years, she graduated from Shencheng University with excellent academic results.
You could say that if it weren't for that beastly professor she encountered, my daughter would probably have a master's degree by now. It's a shame there was no evidence back then, otherwise, I would have made that beast infamous!"
"Oh?"
Lin Feng's father, Lin Guohua, showed a confused expression.
Lin Guohua knew that something had happened two years ago that caused Qu Qiongying to drop out of school, but he couldn't find out the specifics.
"This matter shouldn't really be brought up, as family matters should be kept private. But if I don't say it, you might always have a lingering doubt.
Let's put it this way: two years ago, my daughter successfully got into graduate school, but she unexpectedly encountered a beastly professor.
That beastly professor tried to make a move on my daughter when no one was around. Fortunately, my daughter has loved martial arts since she was young.
She enrolled in Taekwondo in elementary school and achieved a black belt fourth dan in her second year of high school, so she directly kicked his... thing.
Afterward, my daughter reported it to the leadership, but they simply refused to handle the matter. Instead, they wanted to downplay it and have my daughter pretend it never happened, threatening that it would affect her academic career.
My daughter couldn't stand that kind of treatment, so she packed her things and left to find a job on the spot. We only found out about this a year later when she came back for Chinese New Year."
Hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but glance at the beautiful, fair calf beneath the skirt.
I didn't expect this woman to kick and blow up their murder weapon. That's truly terrifying, I can't afford to mess with her.
But at this moment, Lin Feng's mother, He Xueqing, also came out of the kitchen.
"Come, come, everyone, dinner is ready."
