In 2008, Wang Jianjun, a master's student from rural areas, started a turning point in his life under the plane trees in the ancient city of Suzhou. He co-founded the "Three People" tutoring class with his classmates, made the first pot of gold in the education wave, and bucked the trend to buy his first real estate. At that time, the aftermath of the financial crisis was still lingering, and housing prices in Suzhou were quietly rising. Lao Wang decided to enter the market amidst the wait-and-see, and unexpectedly opened the door to wealth.
From his entrepreneurial partners turning against each other, giving up tutoring classes, to graduating and joining a college to become a teacher, Wang Jianjun's life trajectory completely turned to real estate investment. For more than ten years, he took advantage of the golden period of the real estate market to frequently exchange and add positions. He grew up from a poor family to multiple properties, from a poor student to a real estate speculator with tens of millions of assets. His love, family, and wealth increased all the way, and he became a winner in the eyes of others.
However, prosperity eventually comes to an end. As the property market changes suddenly and policies tighten, the once code of wealth becomes a shackles of debt. After receiving orders at a high position, assets shrank, and the capital chain was broken, Lao Wang fell rapidly from his peak and became heavily in debt overnight.
This is a record of the ups and downs of the times that belongs to ordinary people. It uses Suzhou as the stage and real estate as a clue to connect entrepreneurship, love, human nature and the changes of the times. It records the ups and downs of an ordinary person's life that was supported and then dropped by housing prices, and tells the individual's desires, glory and loss under the torrent of the times.
