In 1990, the Far East is in turmoil on the eve of the Soviet Union's collapse. The ruble is losing value, and the oligarchs are running rampant.
Reborn as a Chinese laborer at the bottom of society, Qin Muhai stands penniless in the freezing snow of Vladivostok.
Faced with hunger and cold, he saves the widowed wife and stunning mixed-race granddaughter of a former Soviet Navy admiral, both left homeless, from the start.
Drawing on memories from his previous life, when he traveled the world, he accurately predicts the extreme fishing season in the Bering Strait.
On his first fishing trip, he snatches a million tons of premium king crab and earns tens of millions of dollars, completely rewriting his fate!
While the rest of the world is frantically trading in light industrial goods, Qin Muhai uses the monumental chaos of the Soviet collapse to pull off a deal that shocks the world.
With a few train cars of Erguotou liquor and canned red meat, he forces open the Pacific Fleet's steel gates!
Nuclear submarine sonar is used to locate sturgeon in the deep sea, while destroyers are converted directly into ten-thousand-ton floating seafood processing plants!
When faced with malicious blockades by European and American fishing giants and provocations from armed pirates, Qin Muhai stands on a cruiser with its main guns removed and sneers.
"In the Arctic Ocean, everything within the range of our guns is an exclusive fishing ground for the Chinese!"
Starting with the rescue of the impoverished widow of a Russian military family, Qin Muhai takes control of the world's oceans step by step, building an armed maritime trade empire that makes the world tremble!
