1986: A Business Tycoon Begins in the Coal Mines

Xie Wen, a workshop supervisor in the 21st century, is reborn in 1986 in northern Jinbei. The coal mine has taken the family's few mu of poor farmland, and in return he gets what everyone else considers a "secure job": mine security guard. It looks like a cushy, well-paid position, but just days after starting, he runs into a huge problem. Three tons of premium coal are stolen overnight, and the blame lands squarely on him. His suspension notice is slapped on the desk with no chance to defend himself. Others laugh that he's "living off the land grab," but he just sneers: He follows the trail to expose the real coal thieves, earning the mine manager's respect; He goes from an ostracized guard to running the mine's logistics, then helps villagers gather mountain produce for export; He rides the wave of reform and opening up, turning coal waste into real money. When the impoverished mountain village becomes a prosperous place bustling with trucks, Xie Wen takes a drag on his cigarette, utterly unfazed. In this life, wouldn't it be a waste of his luck at being reborn if he didn't become a fabulously rich coal boss?
