Becoming a Smuggler in 1988: I Talked the Soviet Big Brother Into Ruin

Lu Feng, a global financial magnate, returns to the early spring of 1988.

At the time, the West has imposed a total blockade on China's advanced military and aerospace industries, while the colossal power to the north sits atop a trove of industrial treasures but can't afford to feed its people.

His knowledge of geopolitics and economics, forty years ahead of its time, is an unbeatable cheat!

With two crates of pantyhose and canned food, Lu Feng pries open the Iron Curtain over Siberia, trading desperately needed light industrial goods for thousands of tons of military-grade, oxygen-free electrolytic copper, stunning the nation!

Next, this giant of the business world can't be stopped:

A million cans get him a Tu-154 airliner. Entire trainloads of down jackets clear out an aircraft factory's core blueprints, and he even bundles up heavy-duty gas turbines and industrial machine tools to ship back to China!

Just before the Soviet collapse, he takes advantage of the ruble crisis to snap up trillions' worth of industrial assets and brings whole teams of top experts back to his homeland.

When the tides of history finally settle, the former border smuggler has become the man who holds up an entire nation's industrial lifeline, crowned the ultimate godfather of industry across Eurasia!
