1993: Starting by Raising Nutria and Selling Used Appliances

This book is also known as 1993: A Grassroots Cadre and Starting Out as Director of a Township Enterprise Office in '93.

By an unexpected twist, I transmigrate to the early 1990s into the body of Wang Yongqiang, a young man from a mountain village.

At home, there's a domineering mother, a spineless father, a grandfather enjoying his retirement, younger siblings still in school, and me, with nothing to my name.

My family is poor! But I just want to eat meat, buy a motorcycle, and have some pocket money and a pager on my belt. Is that too much to ask?

But here in this remote mountain village in Bashu, there are precious few ways to make money. What am I supposed to do?

Fortunately, scams involving scorpion farming, woodlice farming, and nutria farming are just taking off.

If con artists can swindle money from the villagers, then I'll make money off the con artists instead!
