Reborn in 2006, just after the college entrance exams, Jiang Ye started collecting old books and made his first fortune going from street to street.

Before starting university, he packed his bag and headed to Jiangcheng.

While everyone else waited for classes to begin, he registered a company, haggled for washing machines, and opened a laundromat beneath the women’s dormitory.

Three days of free laundry to draw customers, membership cards to lock them in: one strategy swept the competition aside, and women across campus lined up to do their washing.

After filling all of Building 34 at the University of Finance and Economics, he turned around and expanded into Jiang University.

Zhang Jianguo, deputy director of the university’s logistics group, sneered: “I’ll give you the worst boys’ dormitory. Let’s see how long you last.”

Jiang Ye smiled.

Right next to the boys’ dorm was Shen Zhiyu’s dormitory. He asked her to keep an eye on the place for three days while she was passing by.

The boys went wild, doing their laundry five times in three days just to get another glimpse of her.

With a 60% signup rate among freshmen and 47% among older students, the numbers crushed the competition. The single-source procurement contract left Zhang Jianguo’s hand shaking as he signed.

At eighteen, he was the legal representative of a company making a million a month. He still used a secondhand mobile phone, and had more cash in his pocket than the entire orientation team combined.

He bought into Poly Real Estate at rock-bottom prices, invested in video-streaming sites, won the gold medal at the Challenge Cup, and set his sights on e-commerce...

Starting with old books and moving on to a single washing machine, what he meant to monopolize was an entire era.
