In 1985, spring thunder rolls. Grain and cloth ration coupons are still in circulation, and becoming a ten-thousand-yuan household is the stuff of legends.
Chen Xuan is reborn just as he fails the college entrance exam. His family is desperately poor, and his father is gravely ill, leaving them in urgent need of life-saving money.
He takes to street vending to survive and unexpectedly gains a golden finger: the ability to see the value of anything at a glance.
He can identify genuine antiques, recognize valuable technology patents, and predict trends for the next thirty years.
While others are still struggling to afford food and clothing, he makes his first fortune of 80,000 yuan by spotting hidden bargains.
He reinvests in electronics, real estate, and the nascent internet, positioning himself for the next big opportunities.
Discarded blueprints others can’t understand become the leverage he needs to reshape his era.
From street vendor to tech mogul, he founds companies, develops chips, and builds schools to nurture talent.
Amid the undercurrents of city life, he awakens to ancient martial arts, gaining mastery over both wealth and power.
While others are still trying to catch up with the times, he has already become the one steering them.
In this life, he won’t just turn his fortunes around. He’ll drive the rise of his nation and help the Chinese people stand tall.
