In 2009, 22-year-old Lin Chen broke into the Pengcheng real estate circle with a dream. He started as a cost specialist on the construction site, tackled every professional problem with seriousness, and took on one project after another with hard work and all-nighters. In the past 13 years, he has personally experienced the abundant opportunities in the golden age of the industry. With precise control and efficient management, he has been promoted to cost director, and witnessed the prosperity of the city skyline built with steel and concrete.
However, the tide of the times is changing rapidly. The real estate industry has turned from prosperity to decline. Regulation has tightened, the market has cooled, and funds have come under pressure. What was once a hot potato has become a hot potato. He tried his best to optimize costs and recover losses, but he was unable to withstand the downward trend of the industry. In the end, he had to say goodbye to the battlefield where he had struggled for half his life despite perseverance and struggle.
This is a professional epic focusing on real estate cost management, and it is a collective microcosm of a generation of real estate people - there are the hardships of staying up late to catch up with the bid, the sense of accomplishment of overcoming problems, the joy of promotion and salary increase, but also the confusion of the cold winter in the industry, the helplessness of being unable to do what one does, and the sadness of being forced to leave. Thirteen years of ups and downs are not only personal growth and perseverance, but also engraved with the golden memories and transformation pains of an industry.
