Lu Wantang was reborn in a small county town in 1982 with complete financial knowledge on Wall Street and memories of economic trends in the next forty years. Her father was criticized to death for speculating, and her mother supported her three siblings by selling vegetables. The local area is monopolized by three major supply and marketing cooperatives, and the vegetable food stamp system is rigid, making it difficult for self-employed businesses to make a living. Lu Wantang found a new way to use suburban wasteland to grow off-season greenhouse vegetables; he cooperated with rural factories to create branded cans; he teamed up with vendors to form a venture capital cooperative, replacing usury with equity and dividends to attract local craftsmen. She started to guide the market from the increase in cabbage prices, and used capital operations to defeat the price alliance of supply and marketing cooperatives. Three years later, the first private equity fund opened on the streets, and she also helped more than a hundred unemployed young people open shops. Eventually, her "Tang Ji" became an empire spanning agriculture, industry, and commerce, and even the county government became her shareholder.
