[Period Novel + Revitalizing the Nation Through Technology + Business Rivalry]
A devastating fire sends He Yuedong reborn to 1985, at the Shenzhen Electronic Watch Factory.
In his previous life, his production of knockoff watches led to the death of Shen Zhaonan, his childhood sweetheart.
This time, he's reborn at the very beginning of the turning point, and he'll turn the tide!
"Recruit ten thugs from knockoff factories, and earn electronic watch technology with an error margin of just plus or minus 0.5 seconds!"
When He Yuedong presents the Xingchen watch, ten years ahead of Sakura Country, at the Canton Fair, foreign businessmen go berserk:
"This watch can withstand minus 40 degrees? You Chinese stole military technology from Big Bear!"
From knockoff watches to lithography machines, from pagers to 5G chips.
He Yuedong leads his "freak squad":
a Tsinghua prodigy who was expelled, a smuggler who trafficked in nuclear materials, and a top-grade fitter who can repair lithography machines with an embroidery needle.
Together, they make waves in Shenzhen!
"You say I plagiarized?"
On the night of the Nasdaq opening bell, He Yuedong plays research footage from 1985 in court.
His rival in love, Li Shaohua, watches as the "knockoff products cause cancer" rumor he spread becomes a slogan promoting He Yuedong's anti-cancer nanotechnology.
Only then does everyone realize that this madman has turned an entire era into his laboratory!
A big shot meets him in person and praises him: "You've changed more than just Shenzhen. You've advanced human civilization!"
