I Was a Gangster in Cold War Germany

About This Novel

In 1961, the Berlin Wall had not yet been built, and undercurrents were surging in East Germany. Lin Zou, a modern social animal, crossed into the East Berlin black market and became an errand boy heavily in debt. The only golden finger is a half-baked intelligence system. The Berlin crisis is coming, the Berlin Wall is about to be built, new economic reforms, and trade trends between East and West Germany are coming one after another - he uses fragmented memory and reasoning to prepare ahead of the curve: hoarding goods for cash, cross-border reselling, optical instrument exports, chemical machinery arbitrage... He makes a fortune in the cracks between the black market, Stasi surveillance and trade from the Economic Cooperation Council. He climbed from a black market boy to the "King of Intelligence" who swayed the undercurrent of the Cold War. Until the Stasi came to the door - they wanted him to be a more dangerous chess piece... [Foreign background + era + intelligence system + IQ online] This book is also called: "Traversing East Germany: Oweing a Life to the Black Market at the Beginning", "From Troublemaker to Godfather of Intelligence"
