Reborn in 2001: From the Start, I Used My Tuition Money to Get a Stake in Tencent

In 2001, the internet industry was in the depths of a harsh winter.

Ye Xuan, a poor student in the finance department at Zhongda University, accidentally bumps his head and awakens a godlike sense for the markets, allowing him to predict every rise and fall in stock charts.

With the 5,000 yuan his family scraped together for tuition, he ignores everyone’s warnings and plunges into forex trading. Using his predictions to leverage his positions a hundredfold, he makes short-term trades in both directions, growing his initial 5,000 yuan into hundreds of millions.

His classmates struggle to cover their living expenses and spend all day at internet cafes. Just as his former crush, the girl of his dreams, cozies up to a rich heir, Ye Xuan heads to Shenzhen with a fortune in hand.

A single 500,000-yuan investment secures a stake in Penguin, and later Jack Ma comes to his door asking for investment.

One after another, Wall Street’s capital tycoons are caught in his short-selling attacks and suffer devastating losses.

At school, he’s an unremarkable college student who dozes off in class. In private, he’s an invisible trillion-yuan tycoon who controls internet giants and shakes up global finance, face-slapping everyone who ever looked down on him.
