Daily Intelligence: Turning My Life Around, Starting with a Bargain Yellow Croaker

Chen Mo has just been fired, owes three months of rent, has watched his ex-girlfriend run off with a rich kid, and now his uncle is at his door demanding repayment. His life has become a joke. In the early hours of the morning, a tip suddenly pops up on his phone: “At noon, stall number three in the old goods market south of the city. The broken inkstone propping up the table has a surprise inside.”

With nothing to lose, he spends 50 yuan on the inkstone and smashes it open, only to find two gold bars from the Republican era! He pays his rent and throws his uncle out on the spot. When his ex comes begging to get back together, he flashes his six-figure bank balance and walks away.

Later, thanks to the daily tips, he picks up a Qing-dynasty official kiln piece for 80 yuan and sells it for 800,000, buys a fake for 10,000 and discovers an authentic Tang Bohu painting inside, earning 3 million, then invests 500,000 in the stock market and makes 5 million. He also recruits Su Qing, an appraisal prodigy, and Zhao Hu, a retired special forces soldier, as his assistants. Step by step, he goes from being broke to becoming an untouchable, low-profile tycoon.
