Huangniujianghu

From the down-and-out college students who forged diplomas to the scalper kings who controlled Shanghai's gray industry; From Ma Zai running away on the streets with fake tickets, to technology hackers using AI to hack the ticketing system; From a speculator who took advantage of policy loopholes to a desperate man who was crushed by the giant wheel of the times - Lin Mo's ups and downs over the past ten years are just a grain of sand in China's turbulent years. At the beginning of the new millennium, he sensed business opportunities in the cracks in concert ticket sales, fake marriages to speculate in real estate, stock holdings on behalf of others, and reselling World Expo tickets... Every time the economy took off, the policy left blank became his password for getting rich. He used BP machines, button wizards, and AI to grab tickets. He used technological iterations to arm his greed, but he buried his conscience in the huge profits from SARS masks, and witnessed the tragic death of his mentor under the fireworks of the Expo. When the license plate auction agent in the free trade zone beckoned to him, this billionaire "industry godfather" suddenly discovered that the pickaxe that once mined gold has long become the guillotine of the times. Tightening policies, technological crackdowns, and the Iron Curtain of Regulation have made the fertile soil that once nourished scalpers hardening. This is not a person's crime and punishment, but the life and death of an industry. The development of society has given this industry the soil to exist; The continuous development of society has knocked this industry down under the wave of the times. When the world of speculators is filled up by the rule of law and civilization, those legends of licking blood with the tip of a knife are just a speck of dust shaken off when the times turn. And the love and pain swallowed up by quick money have long been annihilated together with those broken promises in the ever-extinguishing neon lights of Shanghai Beach. This book is a documentary novel, with no time travel, no golden fingers, and no fantasy. It just writes about an experience of ordinary people.
