Reborn in 1981: I Became a Tycoon Selling Peanuts

“Give your acceptance letter to your younger brother, or I’ll break your legs!” Faced with his father’s shovel and his mother’s pleas, Yan Kuan clutched his Peking University acceptance letter tightly. In his previous life, he was forced to give up his place and died miserably in prison. In this life, he slammed the door behind him and left home to live for himself. With just 50 yuan in starting capital, he boiled peanuts and set up a stall, netting ten yuan on his first day. When thugs tried to extort him, college student Xia Qingqing brought the police to his rescue. “I’ll take ten jin of these peanuts!” Yan Kuan sold goods by day to save for tuition, and by night beat up bullies and outwitted unscrupulous merchants. From a night-market peddler to a factory owner and entrepreneur, he shattered the shackles of being the eldest son and rose to become a business magnate amid the waves of reform. Xia Qingqing stood by him through rumors and suppression, and they were eventually married.
