After I Transmigrated, I Developed the Northeast, and Its GDP Actually Surpassed Everyone's

Zhao Dabiao opens his eyes and finds himself back in Northeast China in the 1990s. His father has been laid off, he has only two yuan in his pocket, and every street in Tiexi District is full of despairing faces. But now he has the Northeast Revitalization System in his head and a family peanut recipe in his pocket.

He starts with a street stall, then moves from five-spice peanuts to spicy snack strips, building a food empire and turning his fate around one step at a time. While others weep over losing their jobs, he laughs as he hires them. While others head south to find work, he sells goods from Northeast China all over the country.

Twenty years later, Northeast China's GDP is fifty times Shanghai's. A reporter asks, “Mr. Zhao, what's the secret to your success?”

Zhao Dabiao munches on his own spicy snack strips and grins honestly. “Nothing special. You just gotta get it done.”
