In the late autumn of 1998, Huateng Group, a long-established military industrial enterprise in Northeast China, fell into a restructuring dilemma. The "Blackstone" of international capital is secretly planning to swallow up state-owned assets at extremely low costs. When reporter Su Wanlan was investigating the mysterious death of his brother, he accidentally discovered clues about Blackstone's collusion with officials.
At the same time, three men who were caught up in fate were involved: Silent Bureau, who is good at layout and the core trader of Blackstone; Lin Jianwei, who watched with cold eyes, was well versed in the art of cultural attributes; and Gu Shouzhen, a simple and transparent person, used his philosophy of "seeing the road but not walking" to enlighten everyone. Together with detective Yun Potian, international movie star Mu Wanqing, and scholar Xiao Fang, they launched a game about culture, capital, and human nature in the undercurrents of Berlin, Paris, and Northeast China.
When strong culture and weak culture collide fiercely, when interests and conscience are repeatedly torn apart, can they find their own way in the storm? There is no savior in this world, the only one who can save you is yourself.
