Synopsis of the reborn business-war novel "Against the Tide, 1997"
A bolt of thunder tore open the fabric of time and sent Lu Yu, bankrupt and homeless, back to 1997, the moment his family’s toy factory was on the brink of collapse after its funds ran dry. Standing where fate had dealt him a devastating blow, he found a smartphone from his previous life inexplicably tucked inside his suit jacket. It silently held the business secrets of the next twenty years.
In his previous life, a global financial crisis had shattered his business empire. Brothers who had once stood by him turned against him, his family looked on coldly, and the woman he had loved for years left him. This once-celebrated young entrepreneur was reduced to selling oden on the street. Now reborn, he looked at the yellowed factory reflected on his phone screen and completely abandoned the idea of taking shortcuts.
With the factory about to be stripped bare to pay its debts, banks sending one demand for payment after another, and his family’s elders standing by without lifting a finger, he clearly understood that a true turning point lay in the internet boom just waiting to take off, the real estate market still in its infancy, and the e-commerce era not yet born. This time, Lu Yu would seize the business trends of the next twenty years and fight his way through the turbulent business world with foresight and the wisdom to break deadlocks. He would save the factory on the verge of closure, rewrite the fate that had left him betrayed and abandoned, and prove to everyone who had looked down on him that the warrior who returned from the abyss already held the trump card that could change his life.
