Rebirth: Back to 1991 to Become the Richest Man

 Chapter 90: Who is the Real Swindler? TL: Etude The most crucial point was that he didn't know how to answer these questions. Ren Tianci had deceived several locals, and these small bosses were not like this at all! As long as Ren Tianci presented himself in a shiny and splendid manner, taking on the identity of a sea-turtle—a returned overseas Chinese—and painting a big picture, those people would believe him unconditionally. Who would be like Chen Jianghai, always asking some irrelevant questions? In order to win over these few small bosses, Ren Tianci knew he had to answer the question. "This... I plan to invite a few famous Cantonese chefs over to take charge of the cooking." Luckily, having swindled in various places, Ren Tianci was somewhat knowledgeable about different cuisines. However, Chen Jianghai shook his head after hearing this, "That won't do, that won't do." "What's wrong with it?" Ren Tianci frowned. Chen Jianghai explaine...

Chapter 89: The Urge to Kill Him Was Overwhelming TL: Etude Chen Jianghai turned his head and saw a man sporting a slicked-back haircut, dressed in a white suit, with a leather bag tucked under his arm, approaching them while speaking broken English. "Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, hello hello!" Upon seeing this man, a name instantly popped into Chen Jianghai's mind: Ren Tianci! He could never have imagined that he would encounter this guy here. When Chen Jianghai first met Ren Tianci in his previous life, he was wholeheartedly looking for a way to make money, hoping to turn his fortunes around. At that time, Ren Tianci appeared before Chen Jianghai in this same attire, introduced by someone as a big boss who had returned from abroad, planning to make some investments locally. Chen Jianghai thought, could there be such a good thing? Was this not like a pillow appearing when one wanted to sleep? However, Chen Jianghai also knew that he was not familiar with Ren Tianci...

 Chapter 88: A Man's Joy Is That Simple TL: Etude "He's quite a busy man; I reckon he'll be a bit late," Li Detian said with a chuckle. Boss Jin waved his hand and said, "Then shall we wait a bit before ordering?" "Sure, we're not in a hurry anyway!" Chen Jianghai added in agreement. Li Detian nodded, "Alright, let's just chat for a bit and wait." "Wanqiu, sister Qing, how about we women sit together?" Lin Meifeng suddenly suggested. Ren Qing quickly nodded, "That's a great idea, sister! Old Li, let's switch seats! You men talk amongst yourselves, and we women will have our own chat!" "Okay, okay!" Li Detian hastily agreed and got up to switch seats with Ren Qing. Over here, Lin Meifeng and Boss Jin also switched places, and the three women gathered together. Watching this scene, Chen Jianghai didn't say anything. Lin Wanqiu was clearly a bit nervous now; the confidence that had been o...

 Chapter 87: Well, That's a Good Thing TL: Etude Upon hearing Qiu Jinfeng's words, Lin Wanqiu bashfully lowered her head, her heart brimming with joy: Who wouldn't want others to praise their husband as capable! Chen Jianghai just smiled faintly, without saying much. "You two chat, I'll go put the clothes away first." Chen Jianghai took the bag from Lin Wanqiu's hands and went into the house first. Lin Wanqiu stood outside the door chatting with Qiu Jinfeng for a while and then, using cooking as an excuse, she too returned to the house. Watching Lin Wanqiu's retreating figure, envy filled Qiu Jinfeng's eyes, and she muttered softly, "It seems this Chen Jianghai has really turned his life around!" Once Lin Wanqiu was inside, she busied herself with cooking. Xue Chunli and their companion didn't come over today; they had started cooking at their rented place. Since they didn't wish to come, Chen Jianghai naturally wouldn't insis...

 Chapter 86: I Almost Believed What You Said TL: Etude "Brother Chen, you've arrived!" The next day, as soon as Chen Jianghai arrived at the shop, he saw that Li Detian was already waiting for him at the doorway. "Sorry to have kept you waiting, brother!" Chen Jianghai hurried forward, greeting warmly. Li Detian waved his hand and laughed, "What are you talking about, Brother Chen? I've just arrived myself. How about tonight?" "I'm really sorry, brother." Chen Jianghai said, his voice carrying a tinge of regret. Li Detian's expression changed slightly, "What's wrong, brother?" "It's like this, my father-in-law just arrived, and they are still not quite settled in, so tonight..." Before Chen Jianghai could finish, Li Detian interrupted him. "Hey, Brother Chen, I thought it was something serious!" Li Detian said with a dismissive laugh, "That's easy to handle. Once they've settled i...

 Chapter 85: Can He Hold On Until the End? TL: Etude By the time Chen Jianghai got home, it was almost seven o'clock. At the mouth of the alley, Lin Wanqiu, slightly anxious, sighed in relief upon seeing Chen Jianghai's return. "Jianghai, why are you back so late?" she asked. Chen Jianghai got out of the car and responded, "I was held up by some matters. Wanqiu, why are you out here?" "I just came out to see if you had come back." While speaking, Lin Wanqiu took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Chen Jianghai's forehead. Chen Jianghai inquired, "What about mom and dad? Have they gone back after dinner?" Lin Wanqiu replied, "Mom and dad said they would wait for you to come back so we could eat together." "You haven't had dinner yet?" Chen Jianghai asked with a hint of surprise. Lin Wanqiu smiled brightly, "Dad said he wanted to wait for you to come back so we could eat together." No wonder she ...

 Chapter 84: Let Go of That Girl TL: Etude After the tumult subsided, Chen Jianghai busied himself in the warehouse until sunset when it was time to close up for the day. Zhao Changgui approached Chen Jianghai, "Brother Chen, should I go to your house tonight to stand guard?" "There's no need for that; they wouldn't dare," Chen Jianghai waved his hand dismissively. After all, that district was under the control of Fang Aiguo's uncle; there was nothing to fear. Hearing Chen Jianghai's response, Zhao Changgui didn't press further. "Brother Jianghai, if there's any trouble, remember to call me!" Zhao Yuxi followed with concern. Chen Jianghai smiled, "Alright, you guys should also head back early!" "Brother Jianghai, goodbye!" Packing her backpack, Zhao Yuxi waved sweetly. Chen Jianghai nodded and took off on his bicycle first. Once Chen Jianghai left, Zhao Changgui locked up the door and took his sister home. All th...

 Chapter 83: I'll Ask You Again, Are You Convinced or Not! TL: Etude One must be aware that the nature of a state-owned enterprise is laid out plainly; without sufficient competitiveness, it's impossible to break free from the mire, and ultimately it can only decline. Chen Jianghai followed up by saying, "Don't worry about where I got my information. If you want to save the factory, this is the only way." "You're thinking too simply, little brother!" Liang Haoyang shook his head and heaved a heavy sigh. "What's so simple about it?" Chen Jianghai asked, not taking the hint. "Contracting is easy; the current leaders of the factory would be only too glad if someone came forward to take on the factory." Liang Haoyang said, "But what after taking on the contract? Who can guarantee it will be profitable? That it can ensure the factory survives?" "Me." Chen Jianghai pointed at himself, his face full of conviction....

 Chapter 82: Beyond Cure, No Turning Back TL: Etude "Haoyang, isn't your factory facing some troubles? Maybe Brother Chen can help you out." Zhao Changgui didn't pay much attention to the details and directly pointed at Chen Jianghai while saying: "What factory?" Chen Jianghai's interest was piqued. Liang Haoyang didn't take Zhao Changgui's words seriously, thinking it was a joke. "There's a kettle factory in the western suburbs of Linghai; I'm the factory manager there." A bitter expression crossed Liang Haoyang's face as he spoke. Chen Jianghai looked at him with a bit of surprise. He hadn't realized it at first. But these days, even the leaders in the county town just rode bicycles, and there wasn't much difference between them and the common folk, "A kettle factory?" Chen Jianghai repeated the words and then asked, "What brand?" "It's not about the brand, the main product of the facto...

 Chapter 81: Has Your Brother Come to His Senses? TL: Etude On his way back, Chen Jianghai happened to pass by the post office and, on a whim, stopped his bicycle. After loitering around the entrance, Chen Jianghai eventually parked his bicycle by the roadside and entered the post office. Standing before the telephone, Chen Jianghai hesitated for a long while before pressing a few numbers. But before the call could connect, Chen Jianghai hung up. At this moment, Chen Jianghai was not yet ready to make contact with his parents. It should be known that Chen Jianghai's family was once quite well-off, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to offer a substantial dowry to marry Lin Wanqiu, his beautiful wife. However, Chen Jianghai later became obsessed with the idea of making a fortune, and in his relentless pursuits, he nearly squandered the family's entire fortune. The final straw that broke his relationship with his parents was when Chen Jianghai sold the ancestral home to ...

Chapter 80: Let's Form a Good Connection! TL: Etude Upon hearing Chen Jianghai's words, both Boss Jin and Li Detian were taken aback, quickly exchanging glances. To them, an annual lease seemed most appropriate. Firstly, it would be cheaper. Secondly, a fixed shopfront would bring a stable clientele. Could it be that Chen Jianghai only wanted to rent a shop temporarily? Li Detian couldn't help but frown and said, "Brother Chen, don’t you plan to keep the shop going for the long term?" "Who knows what the future holds." Chen Jianghai said with a faint smile, "If the business doesn't work out, I can pull out in time." It is said that in business, one must be business-minded. Chen Jianghai’s words indeed held some truth. However, Boss Jin knew that this was certainly not Chen Jianghai's true intention. For someone like Chen Jianghai, the word 'failure' probably didn't even exist in his dictionary. In other words, there must be ...

 Chapter 79: Little Brother, Quite Capable Aren't You TL: Etude Returning home, Chen Jianghai had just set down his tool bag when Lin Wanqiu quickly approached and asked, "Jianghai, how come you're back so soon?" Chen Jianghai casually replied, "It was a dodgy deal, so I gave it a pass." Hearing this, Lin Wanqiu's face showed a hint of disappointment. She had been hoping to use this opportunity to completely change her mother's impression of Chen Jianghai and gain her full approval of him! Overhearing the conversation, Xue Chunli lost interest in the television, her gaze falling on Chen Jianghai, her eyes filled with added skepticism. The deal didn't go through? Was it because his skills were lacking, or was there some other reason? Or perhaps, this was just an excuse made up by Chen Jianghai. He could have actually been involved in some unsavory business behind the scenes. Chen Jianghai would never have guessed that Xue Chunli could derive so mu...
