These are the best of times: the tumultuous year of 1979, when gold lies everywhere, but danger lurks around every corner.
Li Weidong returns to this magnificent era. At first, he only wants to make a little money on the black market by trading a few pairs of pantyhose and some solar-powered calculators. But the tide of the times keeps pushing him forward. Since he's been reborn, how can he settle for anything less than standing at the top of the world?
He goes into food production and develops crispy instant noodles, winning a foreign-exchange order worth 1.5 million. He enters the clothing business and uses “Red Star Fashion” to secure distribution through supply and marketing cooperatives across the province. Then he ventures into technology, introducing the concept of “modular CubeSats” and managing to send satellites into space despite starting from scratch!
When the capital of the United States and Sakura Country try to use technological barriers to choke off Huaxia's communications, Li Weidong shoulders the banner of national industry alone. A nationwide network spanning five provinces comes online, and high-quality calls across 3,000 kilometers shock foreign investors around the globe!
Dongrou Industrial Group, a giant conglomerate spanning food, logistics, aerospace, and communications, rises with a roar across the eastern lands in the early 1980s! Facing a siege by Silicon Mountain Ventures in the United States and a battle for low-orbit satellite routes, what cards will this business tyrant, armed with the endless technology of the future, play next?
