The protagonist Chen Feng was reborn in 1987, carrying only huge debts and a warehouse of unsold light industrial overstocks (leather jackets, thermos bottles). He knew that the period of material scarcity before the collapse of the Soviet Union two years later was the greatest opportunity to get rich.
He boarded the K3/4 train bound for Moscow alone. Not only did he have to face the robbers on the train, he also had to deal with corrupt Soviet officials and the vicious mafia. Without a golden finger, he relied on "courage" and "prediction of the ruble's depreciation point."
At the beginning of the plot, he used a few bottles of Erguotou to get rid of the conductor, exchanged the backlog of goods for Lao Maozi's motorcycle, and resold it for a hundredfold profit. Subsequently, his game got bigger and bigger, from exchanging motorcycles to cars, and finally even operated the famous "cans for airplanes" legend, and used the exchange rate difference to harvest tens of billions of wealth on the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
