[Rebirth in the 1980s] [Business and Wealth] [Investing in Talent] [Multiple Heroines]
In 1982, twenty-one-year-old Lu Xiangyang was reborn on the day he was fired from the radio factory. He could also see the three most important turning points in other people's lives.
The future electronics tycoon was picking parts out of a scrapyard. The future richest woman had just been thrown out of a department store. The future queen of distribution was fretting over a truckload of goods she couldn't sell. Others thought they were poor, crazy, and trouble, but Lu Xiangyang dared to put everything he had on the line and invest in them ahead of time.
Starting with thirty-seven broken radios nobody wanted, he repaired goods, seized distribution channels, and built a brand. He turned a group of young people who hadn't made a name for themselves into partners, and seized one era-defining opportunity after another that should have belonged to someone else.
Years later, a reporter asked Lu Xiangyang how much his first fortune had been.
He said, "One hundred and seventy-six yuan, and thirty-seven broken radios."
