Through Zheng Jia’s three transformations in life, this work reflects two decades of upheaval in China’s sales world. He builds immense wealth through sales ventures, goes bankrupt and falls deep into debt in the era of the sharing economy, then, after learning the hard way, settles down and devotes himself to manufacturing, finding a new lease on life. When the startup coffee grows cold, what remains on the ledger of fate is not just scorching sales pitches and shattered wagering agreements, but also a man’s ruthless reinvention of himself amid the rise and fall of fortune. The true king of sales spends his entire life trying to collect from life on a contract that will never be signed.
This is no inspirational fantasy, but a revelation about how those who fall can turn their scars into armor. Only those who have been crushed by their times understand how to shape the ruins into a ladder to the heavens.
