Chapter 1

"Son, son..."

The faint voice made Chu Ze open his eyes, looking a little puzzled, and looked around in a daze.

The surroundings seemed to be in an open field. At this moment, he seemed to be under an eaves, and the pond in the distance was emitting ripples.

There was a middle-aged man, looking at him anxiously, and the whole person looked a little thin.

"Dad?"

"It's good to wake up. Your uncle is going to send you to the hospital. It's so sunny, and you come to fish. If your uncle Zhang hadn't seen it, you would have been dragged away by the fish."

The middle-aged man's voice sounded again, as if he didn't see the doubt that flashed across Chu Ze's face, and his tone was full of concern.

As he said that, he handed over a bottle of water.

"Yeah." Chu Ze took the water and responded instinctively.

Then he stopped talking and fell into silence. Chu Bo wanted to say something else, but suddenly a figure next to him pulled Chu Bo and walked aside.

"You too, why put so much pressure on Xiaoze? If the fishing tackle can't be sold, file for bankruptcy and do my business." Zhang Yuanlai said in a reproachful tone.

After this, Chu Bo was speechless for a moment and remained silent.

The fishing tackle factory was his foundation, and he did make some money in the early days, but with the arrival of the millennium, it became increasingly difficult to make money.

Now, Chu Bo even has a feeling of how to make money. Fishing rods can't be sold at all. He can only sell some corners, such as fish hooks, but this kind of thing is only enough to pay for electricity, and it is completely beyond his income.

He was desperate and thought of his son who was studying in college, so he pulled his son back from school during the summer vacation.

As a result, he suffered from heatstroke on the first day of testing his own fishing rod.

Fortunately, Lao Zhang next to him saw it and hurriedly pulled Chu Ze up who fell into the water, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"What's wrong with doing foreign trade with me? It makes more money than your fishing tackle factory."

"Is it a matter of foreign trade or not?" Chu Bo said unhappily. He naturally didn't have so many scruples when getting along with his friends.

"What's the big deal? If there is demand, we can do it. It's not bad to make money."

"Then will you let Zhicheng take over?"

As soon as this was said, Lao Zhang's face was instantly surprised and he also fell silent.

"Uh..."

"I really don't want to do your hobbies and dolls. It's better to make clothes." Chu Bo shook his head and expressed his concerns.

Foreign trade is of course good, and the country encourages foreign exchange earnings.

However, Lao Zhang's business is said to be making clothes, but the fabric is so small that Chu Bo really can't make up his mind.

It doesn't matter if it's prejudice or something else. In short, in Chu Bo's heart, he really can't get over this hurdle.

"You can make clothes, too. I just eliminated some clothing equipment and gave them to you."

"Let me think about it. If you really want to transform, you can give me the eliminated equipment first. I will pay you back when I make money."

Chu Bo did not refuse this time, and spoke very directly.

"No problem."

Old Zhang also knew Chu Bo's temper and nodded without saying anything.

Similarly, Chu Ze, who sat up in a daze, sat under a wooden house, looking at the shimmering pond not far away, with some chairs placed by the pond.

Chu Ze was certainly not unfamiliar with the fishing spot.

What made him unfamiliar was the environment in front of him. This seemed to be the fish pond behind the fishing tackle factory that his father had opened.

While thinking, Chu Ze suddenly felt a strong vibration in his mind.

[Detection of factory ownership, OEM factory opening successful. ]

[Receiving orders can improve the level of the factory. After the level is improved, the factory's R&D capabilities can be improved. ]

[Fishing tackle factory LV1: The ability to develop fishing tackle is increased by 10%. 】

【Newbie gift pack is opening. 】

【Fishing tackle factory level increased by two levels. 】

【Fishing tackle factory LV3: fishing tackle research and development ability increased by 40%, the number of people that can be supported: 3. 】

The mechanical voice in his mind made Chu Ze, who was a little confused, determine where he was.

It was indeed the fishing tackle factory that had long been closed down. His hands that often did experiments became more immature. He walked by the pond and looked at the inverted prints on the water surface, plus the voice in his mind.

Chu Ze was very sure that he was reborn, and reached out to pick up the fishing tackle beside the chair. Just weighing it slightly, he had some understanding of the characteristics of this fishing tackle.

The front end was hard, the feel of the rod was not good, and the tolerance to big fish was not good.

Chu Ze weighed it and knew very well that this was not what he had known before, but the moment he got started.

'Bonus...'

Chu Ze understood the reason in an instant. It was the bonus from the fishing tackle factory that allowed him to grasp the characteristics of this fishing rod at once, combined with his original ability as a scientific researcher.

Almost in an instant, Chu Ze thought of the direction that could be improved.

And from the level, this bonus is doubled, that is, the higher the level of the factory, the greater the bonus for scientific research.

Chu Ze unconsciously expanded his thoughts, thinking about how to improve this rod.

"It's too heavy and not easy to carry."

"It has to be made lighter. If it is made lighter, it will be very competitive in the market, and..."

But thinking about it, he couldn't help but weigh the weight.

While thinking, Chu Ze was interrupted by a voice, and saw two figures waving at him.

"Xiao Ze, you just got heatstroke, don't bask in the sun."

"Yes, come quickly."

Hearing this, Chu Ze looked at the two people waving and walked over.

"The fishing rod issue is not urgent, it can't be solved in a short time." Chu Bo said.

Although Chu Bo realized that the competitiveness was increasing, the research and development of fishing rods had been advancing, but as the external excavation of fishing rods reached the extreme.

You can only dig inward, and digging inward can only start from the material, but with the development of materials, the materials available on the market are getting fewer and fewer.

This is the fundamental reason for asking his son to see if he can think of a solution.

"The solution is actually easy to solve, it's nothing more than developing a material."

"Nothing more than developing materials?"

Chu Bo was stunned, he hesitated to speak, this was too easy to say, so easy that he, the owner of the fishing tackle factory who had hit a wall in materials, felt as if it was easy.

But the fact is, it is too difficult to research and develop a new material.

Zhang Yuanlai's reaction was almost the same. It was easy to say, but it was not easy to do. Just like the business he was doing, it was really not easy to go deeper and develop in other directions.

"In fact, there is a material that is quite suitable. The material is very light and hard enough."

"What material?"

"Carbon fiber."

After this, Chu Bo and Zhang Yuanlai looked at each other and exchanged glances, but no one responded.

Because they had heard of carbon fiber a long time ago, but this is a real high-end material, which is not available in China, and they can't buy it even if they want to.
