Siheyuan: I Became a Beijing Hustler in 1980 from the Start

Zhao Xiangdong transmigrates into Love in the Courtyard.

It's just the start of the new era in 1980.

He owns a virtual little farm, where he can sign in every day to fertilize and water the crops, summon produce to sell for cash, and earn an easy two or three thousand a month.

Qin Huairu: "My life is so hard..."

He goes hunting in the mountains and saves a little old man from a wild boar.

"Xiao Zhao, I've lived an incorruptible life and have nothing to repay you with. Take these dozen or so approval slips!"

"What? A thousand tons of steel and five hundred televisions!"

Xiao Pan: "Brother Zhao, I'm thinking of buying some land in Hainan. Want to get in on it?"

Old Mou: "Take it steady. Don't go too big. Put the idea of blasting a passage through the Himalayas on hold. For now, let's send a few railcars of shirts and socks up to the Big Fella, and bring back a few planes while we're at it!"

Farm produce, clothes, shoes and socks, real estate, antiques and paintings: if it can make money, Zhao Xiangdong will trade in it. In just a few years, his name becomes a legend throughout the capital.
