Business tycoon Chen Yan had achieved fame and fortune, only to die unexpectedly. When he opened his eyes, he was back in 1996, on the first day he reported to university. Before him were mottled walls, noisy crowds, and the 486 computers everyone was scrambling to buy. Armed with memories from twenty years in the future and a sharp business instinct, he decisively abandoned the usual path of study and used all his tuition money to make his first fortune.
Starting with “the nation’s first internet cafe,” set up in an abandoned factory by the university gates, he moved on to developing Chinese-language software, distributing online games, and building the beginnings of an e-commerce platform for students. He went from working alone to meeting a reliable tech whiz as a roommate, making future business partners, and attracting the attention of the first venture capitalists. At every turn, he rode the internet boom, using ideas from the future to outclass his present-day rivals.
But the road to entrepreneurship was far from smooth: malicious attacks from competitors, the constraints of traditional thinking, cash-flow crises, difficult breakthroughs past technological barriers, and all manner of inconveniences imposed by the limitations of the era... With his foresight, sound judgment, and refusal to back down, Chen Yan repeatedly turned danger into opportunity.
This is a story not just about making money, but about creating a legend, making up for past regrets, and leading an entire era. See how Chen Yan rises from an ordinary student to build his own tech empire atop the waves of the 1990s, earning the principal’s admiration, striking fear into his rivals, and turning the whole era’s eyes toward him!
