Back to 1981: A Small Village in the Northwest

Xu Qiyang was all alone when he died. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to 1981, the hardest year of his life. He had hoped to plant in spring, harvest in autumn, and enjoy a peaceful life. Instead, he became the busiest man in the village! He led the villagers in switching from growing “food crops” to “cash crops.” The whole village should have needed another decade or more to reach moderate prosperity, but while people in other villages were still scraping by on bran and wild greens, they were already eating as many steamed white-flour buns as they wanted! Xu Qiyang wasn't idle either. Using his information advantage, he began to dominate one industry after another. Years later… Employee: Boss, what's the secret to your success in business? Xu Qiyang: The most important thing in business is staying steady. Employee: How steady? Xu Qiyang pulled out seven phones, opened a shake-to-view ad on each one, and held them up. Not a single one redirected him! Now that's professionalism!
