Reborn in 1998: From Typist to Mogul

Lu Qi dies at his desk and opens his eyes to find himself back in his freshman year of college, in 1998. In his previous life, his brothers drifted apart and he lost the woman he loved. This time, he just wants to keep everyone together first, then make something of their lives.

No System, no shortcut to sudden riches. His only advantage is his memory of the internet trends of the next twenty years.

Starting out as a typist at Hanhai Graphics, he writes the Qiming Internet Cafe Management System and installs it for free in internet cafes in exchange for desktop traffic. Then he launches a game app launcher, using rankings to connect internet cafes, players, and game publishers. After that, he moves into prepaid game card distribution and becomes an offline payment gateway.

His rivals buy people off, blacklist him, and smear him. He turns around and finds a way through online channels. When the internet bubble bursts, funding dries up and his brothers disagree, but he still sticks with free access and traffic.

This time, he will hold on to everyone he failed to keep in his previous life, one by one.
