In 2024, 46-year-old Chen Feng was in a desperate situation when his factory closed down, his wife left, and his father was seriously ill. He passed out drunk in an old warehouse on a rainy night, but accidentally touched the iron biscuit box he had collected in his childhood. When he opened his eyes, he returned to the eve of the college entrance examination in 1998.
This year, the wave of restructuring of state-owned enterprises had just begun, the spark of the Internet was still hidden in the eyes of a few people, and the golden age of real estate had not yet begun. In his hand, he held the 50 yuan pocket money secretly stuffed by his mother, and in his mind was the code of the times for the next 26 years.
There is no system, no golden fingers, only the memory of the time traveler and the determination to make the most of it. He gave up the old path of "going to college to change his destiny" and used 50 yuan to pry the first pot of gold: stocking up on popsicles in the summer and stocking up on cotton shoes in the winter. He took advantage of the layoff wave of state-owned enterprises to buy equipment at low prices. He gritted his teeth and bought an old house when no one was interested in commercial housing. He even chipped in money to give a business card to Ma Huateng, who had nothing, despite the objections of his family.
From a young man running a street stall to a business giant who controls the industrial chain, he not only wants to earn enough wealth, but also make up for his regrets: prevent his father's work injury, retain the white moonlight he missed when he was young, and prevent his brothers around him from being swallowed up by the tide of the times. When the Internet bubble, SARS impact, and financial crisis followed one after another, Chen Feng stood at the crossroads of the times, using foresight and foresight to turn every crisis into an opportunity to rewrite his destiny. In the end, with his family and brothers, in the magnificent era, he lived the life he once looked up to.
