In 1990, the military-to-civilian Red Star Machinery Factory is on the verge of bankruptcy. Three warehouses are packed with unsold enamel spittoons, and workers are even paid in spittoons.
Zhou Weidong, reborn and back in the past, sees at a glance that these spittoons are made of special-grade military steel. A tractor could run over one without bending it!
Everyone laughs at him for being crazy, but he turns a spittoon upside down and puts it on his head.
"This isn't a spittoon. It's a tactical protective helmet!"
Foreigners buy them as helmets, and their bulletproof tests leave everyone stunned. They buy them as soup bowls, ice buckets, and bread baskets, flooding the fax machine with orders. With mandarin ducks at play in the water and paired lotus blossoms, they become the "Oriental camouflage" that military enthusiasts around the world scramble to get!
From spittoons to level-three helmets, and then to high-tech smart combat helmets, he turns a factory, a city, and an entire generation into a legend through sheer force of sales!
