Reborn as a technician at a state-owned factory in Northeast China in 1980, Chen Jianguo looks at the list of workers about to be laid off, and his blood pressure shoots up.
He remembers that in his previous life, after this factory went bankrupt, its workers were left destitute, and some even froze to death on the streets.
"Turn the losses into profits in three months? I'll take over the factory!" The director scolds him for dreaming.
But Chen Jianguo produces management plans and technical blueprints from the future.
"Let's use the factory's idle equipment to make electric fans. The southern market is desperate for them right now!"
When the first truckload of fans arrives in Guangzhou and sells out in a flash, the whole factory erupts in celebration.
With tears in his eyes, the director grips his hand tightly. "Jianguo, the factory is saved!"
No one knows that Chen Jianguo has also locked away blueprints for the development of a Special Economic Zone in his desk drawer. That's the real master plan.
