Legend of a Tycoon: 1930

Zhou Xiangyu was a company executive from the 21st century. That afternoon, he was eating hot pot and singing with his girlfriends at a restaurant in Shanghai, celebrating their naturalization as citizens of a certain Middle Eastern country. They even happily took a commemorative photo outside Wing On Department Store. Little did he know that, that very night, a Boeing plane crash would cause him to transmigrate by accident to Republican-era China in 1930.

Along the way, his soul collided and fused with several others. In the end, he transmigrated into the body of a young man from the bottom rung of society, and, even more incredibly, returned to the starting point: Shanghai.

Shanghai in 1930 was anything but peaceful. Gangs of every size were everywhere, and foreign powers jostled for influence. How would Zhou Xiangyu survive in this dazzling, chaotic metropolis, and how would he rise above his humble origins? Turn back the pages of history and see, from a fresh perspective, every step this ordinary man takes through the streets.

The world of this era was also in upheaval. The entire globe was in the midst of the Great Depression, economies everywhere were badly affected, and pessimism was spreading worldwide. See how Zhou Xiangyu forged a different path to build his initial fortune.
