Rebirth '81: Fourteen Days to Revive a Bankrupt Military Factory

In 1981, at the Third-Line Red Star Military Factory, Lin Zhenguo, a former top-tier artillery designer from a future life, awakens as the factory director of the same name. With military orders cancelled and the factory forced to transition to civilian production, his predecessor made a catastrophic error—purchasing twelve hundred tons of overpriced steel that drained the entire budget. Now five months behind on wages and facing dissolution within just fourteen days, Lin Zhenguo must race against time. He has two weeks to carve out a path to foreign trade revenue and secure the livelihoods of two thousand military workers before the factory is broken up and scattered.
