The Mastermind of a Great Era

Jiang Xuebao, a rural boy from Yongzhou, Hunan, dreamed big and earned a place at South China University of Technology. After graduating, he drew on his gift for numbers and keen sense of the times to rise from counting duck eggs to managing a portfolio worth hundreds of billions. Through value investing, he weathered bull and bear markets alike and became a generation-defining investment magnate. This is an epic tale of building wealth, finding success, and giving back to his hometown amid the tide of reform and opening up.

Spanning forty years of reform and opening up, from 1985 to 2025, the story follows twenty years of effort and millions in stock market gains from investments in iconic companies such as BYD and Kweichow Moutai, showing how one man's struggles resonated with the nation's prosperity.

Investing turns knowledge into wealth, and knowledge is the distillation of experience. Over a sufficiently long stretch of time, only value endures.

This story is more than one man's wealth-building legend. It is the coming-of-age epic of a generation and a testament to the rise of a nation.
