Story introduction
This is a realistic story about desire, money, growth and human nature.
Zhao Ye was born at the bottom of society. His father was disabled in a car accident, and his mother relied on sewing machines to make ends meet. Having lived in poverty and depression since childhood, he longed for the word "turn over" more than anyone else.
Dropping out of school, working part-time, delivering food, sleeping in bridge caves... He has seen the coldest side of this society, and he also understands a truth:
The greatest despair of the poor is not that they have no money, but that they cannot see hope.
Until an accidental opportunity, he entered the mobile phone industry. With his extraordinary observation and courage, he quickly became the best seller and earned the first pot of gold in his life. Zhao Ye, who had money for the first time, thought he could finally get rid of the past.
But when he came into contact with the abyss of casinos, capital and human nature, he discovered:
What really devours people is never poverty, but desire.
The pleasure of getting rich overnight made him completely addicted.
He started gambling.
Gambling money, gambling life, gambling future.
From small card games to underground capital, from the mobile phone industry to the low-level gray industry, he was gradually involved in the money game. Some people around me have become rich suddenly, some have jumped off buildings, some have betrayed, and some have disappeared.
And Zhao Ye gradually discovered that the world was like a huge alchemical furnace.
Some people refine desires into gold.
Some people have turned their souls into ashes.
