In 2003, in Tiexi, an old industrial district in Northeast China, snow fell thick and fast as the biting winds of mass layoffs swept through.
Chu Kuangge had been reduced to a pauper when he opened his eyes and returned to the snowy night at age twenty-two that had changed his fate.
At that moment, the pretty proprietress Guan Xue was being driven to her wits' end by loan sharks. His first fortune would begin with this crisis!
Armed with business knowledge from twenty years in the future, Chu Kuangge launched a crushing, next-generation assault in an era where gold lay everywhere!
While others were still watching videotapes, he pivoted straight into a chain of internet cafes and made his first fortune!
While others were still pedaling tricycles, he brought together laid-off workers and built a modern logistics fleet, taking control of the transport routes in Fengbei!
While others backed down in the face of foreign capital, he swooped in to buy up dying state-owned enterprises, mastered the world of finance, and built his own heavy-industry empire!
He was tough, fiercely protective of his own, and deeply loyal. The business rivals who once looked down on him were left in tears, while a glamorous young widow and a cool, proud heiress from the business world both threw themselves at him.
Starting from a rundown video rental shop, see how Chu Kuangge leads a group of ordinary brothers to turn the tables against the odds on this black-soil frontier and build a trillion-dollar business empire that shocks the world!
