October 8, 2008.
Jiangzhou City, Chengnan Industrial Park, Jiuzhou Automobile Factory.
In the factory director's office, sitting behind the desk, the recently appointed young factory director stared blankly at the scene before him.
On the solid wood desk sat a very old and bulky LCD monitor and a membrane keyboard, a stark contrast to the ultra-thin large screens he was accustomed to.
"Am I still dreaming... No, I'm wide awake now!"
With a strange expression, Xu Yifan organized his thoughts.
After a while, he finally understood his current situation.
"Is God looking favorably upon my diligent work screwing things together? I just played games normally last night, went to sleep at two in the morning, and when I opened my eyes again, I had transmigrated."
Xu Yifan had thought about transmigration before. He used to be obsessed with novels and often fantasized about such a thing happening.
He never expected it to actually happen. It was something to be happy about, especially considering the body he had transmigrated into. According to the memories, he was...
A rich second generation, 185 cm tall, handsome, possessing all the perfect conditions for a life winner: Tall, rich, and handsome.
"This sense of immersion came instantly!"
He shared the same name. In comparison, Xu Yifan thought of his previous life, growing up with an alcoholic father, getting beaten three times a day, and it was a miracle he was even alive.
To escape him, he studied diligently, worked hard to earn his tuition from high school, and never went back after getting into university.
For a small portion of people, family was not a source of happiness or connection.
The afternoon sun shone through the office window onto the young man who had just transmigrated, a warm smile gracing his handsome face.
"Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it!"
"Life can start over. I'll never live a miserable life like my last one. At least with this handsome face, I can definitely capture a rich older woman."
"Wait, I'm already a rich second generation. I don't need a rich older woman. Girls are more appealing!"
"I'm a rich second generation now, with a harmonious family. A life where I never got beaten as a child is simply amazing. Now that I've graduated from university, I'm directly taking over a car manufacturing company for experience. Whether I make a profit or not is secondary; the main thing is to train my management skills."
"Is this a reward for the hardships I endured in my previous life, a reward for my transmigration?"
Thinking about the condition of this body, even Xu Yifan felt a bit jealous, especially when compared to his past experiences. This emotion became even more pronounced.
Fortunately, from now on, he would be the enviable tall, rich, and handsome rich second generation.
"In the current situation, I've only taken over this company for less than a day."
Looking down, Xu Yifan gazed at the various company documents on his desk.
Jiuzhou Automobile Factory was established in 2001.
It was originally founded by several major bosses in the city, targeting the automobile industry, the "pearl of industry," believing they could make a fortune.
However, fate was not on their side. Automobiles are different from other industrial products. They didn't see any profits, but the money was definitely burning.
In seven years, the factory had gone bankrupt twice.
The first time was in '05. It burned through the founders' capital. Frightened by the losses and seeing no prospect of profit, they declared bankruptcy. Afterward, local officials facilitated the sale of the company to a large corporation in the provincial capital.
After all, for this fifth-tier small city, revitalizing a large automobile factory would benefit the entire city immensely.
However, the ideal was grand, but the reality was stark. This automobile production plant still failed to recover and was instead mired in various problems.
In '06, Jiuzhou Automobile Company's first product was finally unveiled under the expectations of local officials and the company bosses. A car was produced.
However, the car's lifespan was less than two months. It went from expectation to disappointment, with sales of only a few dozen units.
Moreover, most of these dozens of car sales were to friends of the original bosses or business partners of the subsequent owners.
Later, due to various quality issues, the factory's engineers became customer service representatives, but they were still unable to solve the problem of poor product quality.
In a fit of anger, the boss of the large corporation recalled all the cars and refunded all the money.
Afterward, that large corporation realized they couldn't keep burning money. For the past two years, they had been looking for a buyer to take over. Last month, they finally found a "big sucker."
Yes, that's right, this "big sucker" was Xu Yifan's father, a boss who dealt in leather goods in the provincial capital.
Because his son liked cars and studied automotive engineering in university, he directly spent 50 million to buy it for his son to gain experience. The original plan was to invest tens of millions more gradually based on the situation.
Two hours later, Xu Yifan finished reading the factory's information and couldn't help but sigh, "Money makes the world go 'round!"
"Jiuzhou Automobile... the name is okay. Jiuzhou, also known as Handi, Zhongtu, Shenzhou, Twelve Provinces, China, and so on. It first appeared in the pre-Qin classic 'Book of Documents: Yu Gong' and has been a concept of the ethnic region of the Han Chinese people since ancient times."
But after sighing, Xu Yifan now had to face his own problems.
Even if there were no profits, as a rich second generation, he could live a comfortable life by relying on his parents.
But he had just taken over the factory, and he had confidently told his father that he wanted to achieve something in the automotive industry.
"Now the factory only has a pile of parts, an outdated production line, and no passenger car production qualification left."
"To revive it, introduce more advanced production lines, better engines, develop chassis, etc.?"
"As a transmigrator from 2023, electric vehicles are the future!"
"But why start a company when I can just slack off? I'll just up and leave, and in a few years, I'll apologize to Dad and take over the family business selling shoes!"
"No, wait. If I've transmigrated, why would I sell shoes? Wouldn't it be better to take a hundred million to buy property? Prices haven't even taken off yet. I could buy a whole building in Beijing, one in Shanghai, one in Shenzhen, and one in Guangzhou. Collecting rent every day would be amazing!"
Just as Xu Yifan was considering the best way to slack off next...
Ding, system has arrived!
After a soft chime, a stream of text and data appeared before his eyes.

"Transmigration novels don't lie to me. There really is a system!"
"Marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life!"
With a racing heart, Xu Yifan focused his consciousness on the Super Factory System, looking for more information about it.
