[Reborn] [New Dad] [Business Rivalry] [One Female Lead] [Intense Romantic Tension] [Satisfying Face-Slapping]
"It costs 800 yuan to make a VCD, and you're selling it for 298? Lin Jiang, you're disrupting the market. We're going to blacklist you!"
Facing a united front from the entire industry, Lin Jiang calmly plugs a keyboard into the VCD. "Who says I'm selling a VCD? Open your eyes and take a good look. This is a 'bilingual learning machine for children'! Selling it for 298 is perfectly reasonable when it's for the kids, right?"
In his previous life, he was a compulsive gambler who drove his wife and daughter to jump from a building. He spent the rest of his life consumed by regret.
Reborn in 1998, on that desperate, rain-lashed night, he looks at the last two yuan and fifty cents in his hand and his beautiful wife, who is raising a cleaver to kill herself. Lin Jiang swears that in this life, even if he has to tear a hole in the sky, he'll spoil them rotten!
A living hell from the start?
His mother-in-law is pressuring them to divorce, his rival is rubbing it in his face, his daughter is gravely ill, and they have nothing.
Lin Jiang fires back with a royal flush!
Making money: He uses a pot of weeds to fleece a Hong Kong businessman, earning 300,000 yuan in three days!
Making waves: He assembles VCDs from "scrap chips," slashing the price from 1,500 yuan to 298 and ending the era of obscene profits!
Making allies: He recruits a mentally ill genius and exploits loopholes in the rules to strike hard at local bullies, making everyone who looked down on him line up and kneel as they sing "I Surrender!"
And the most dangerous part is...
His aloof ex-wife, Su Qing, is looking at the piles of cash filling the house and the reformed him. The "line of demarcation" she drew on the floor might not hold much longer.
"Lin Jiang, if the power goes out tonight, could you... stay?"
