When Jhogo regained consciousness, he found himself reborn as Jhogo Gupta, a 16-year-old boy from a middle-class family in Mumbai in 1986. He could have lived a comfortable life; his family had a good income, and he attended an expensive private international high school. His father had just gone bankrupt and owed the bank millions in loans, turning him from a millionaire to a millionaire in debt. In order to keep his house and avoid becoming penniless and falling into a slum, Qiao Ge first needs to pay off his million-dollar debt within a month. In 1991, India began its own version of reform and opening up, allowing private companies to enter industries that were previously controlled by the state, such as energy, electricity, and mining. India's major monopolistic private conglomerates began to expand rapidly from this point onward, influencing all aspects of Indian life. Having missed China's reform and opening up in his previous life, Qiao Ge finally caught up with India's reform and opening up. He thought he should accumulate as much capital as possible before 1991 so that he could gain greater benefits after the reform and opening up.

My new book, "Starting from Neymar's Dribbling Skills After His Leg Broken," has been released. Please support it! Someone started out as an unremarkable defensive midfielder. Later, he happened to learn some organization, some ball control and ball movement, and some free kicks. And so the football world became lively. Kaka and Ronaldo like him a lot because he is good-looking and speaks nicely. More importantly, he can clean up their messes so they can focus on attacking from the front. Messi both loves and hates him because he says he respects him, but he always gets really excited when playing against Barcelona or him! All number eight players enjoy working with him; his protection is ubiquitous, and his ability to withstand pressure is unparalleled in football. He is a super shield in front of the center-backs, the best partner for the midfielders, and a solid shield behind the forwards. Xabi Alonso is his mentor, Mourinho is his boss, and Bosco is his underling. Whenever a reporter asks him how he grew up, he tells them: "You have to work really hard during training!" This is not him in Versailles. Because he truly worked his way up to the very end of the football world! It all started with a story of someone who was born with terrible luck...
