In 2024, Chen Qi, a CTO at a major internet company, gets into a car accident after working late into the night. When he wakes up, he finds himself back in 1997, in the high school classroom he occupied at seventeen.
That year, the Asian financial crisis swept across the globe. As state-owned enterprises restructured, millions of workers were laid off, while the seeds of the internet had only just been planted. Tencent had yet to be founded, Alibaba was still in its infancy, and China was on the verge of twenty years of earth-shaking change.
Armed with twenty-seven years of memories and world-class technical skills, Chen Qi starts over in an age where fortunes lie everywhere, beginning with a battered old computer.
Fixing computers, opening internet cafes, betting on the financial crisis, investing in the internet...
This time, he’ll rewrite everyone’s fate, including his own.
After reading the full text, I give it 5 stars. The early development was very slow, but the later stage was too fast. There were many pitfalls that were not filled in and the book ended hastily. Maybe the book's unsatisfactory income affected its performance. Overall, it is great and worth reading.
