In the early 1990s, in Qingxi Town, western Hunan, 18-year-old Fu Qingfeng failed the college entrance examination. Because his family was too poor to repeat his studies, he learned to repair cars from a master in the town. With his determination and understanding, he opened a car repair shop on his own six months later. As soon as the business picked up, he aroused the jealousy of local snakes - his signboard was smashed, his tools were destroyed, and he was slapped in the face. He endured it again and again, looking for backers and connections, and managed to gain a foothold, but in the end he was forced to stay in the town no longer.
Soon after, he came to Yuanjiang County to start over with his skills. With good craftsmanship and low fees, it quickly opened up the business, but it also touched the interests of the county monopolist. Protection money, shop smashing, and threats followed one after another. This time, he didn't want to retreat.
He climbed into the network of old people in the county, won trust with his excellent skills, and gradually accumulated contacts, gathered brothers, and expanded business. From a car repair shop to controlling multiple businesses in the county's auto repair, transportation, and building materials industries, he was gradually pushed to the position of "big boss" in the county by fate.
Fu Qingfeng never wanted to be a boss in his heart, he just didn't want to be stepped on again. In the small county in western Hunan where barbarism grew in the early 1990s, an honest man was forced to become ruthless and strong. When he stood at the top, he realized that he was no longer the boy squatting in the oil while repairing cars.
