I wake up to find I've been reborn in 1985!
Looking at the yellowed calendar on the wall, Lin Mo grins like a wolf. The Monkey stamps haven't been printed yet, and Pengcheng is still a run-down fishing village. There is gold everywhere, and I want it all!
A miserable loser in my past life?
This life, I'm starting with a winning hand!
I make my first fortune trading Monkey stamps with ease!
Selling bell-bottoms wholesale? I'll set off a fashion craze across the entire country!
While the bookworms in my class are still buried in math problems, I have a certificate declaring me a ten-thousand-yuan household tucked in my pocket. I slap it down on the teacher's desk and make them eat their words!
The 1992 subscription warrant boom? I've already stocked up on a thousand of them!
Overnight, tens of millions in cash pile up in my house. All of Shanghai is asking: who is this mysterious young man who got rich out of nowhere?
The internet bubble? Wall Street's wild celebrations?
I've already quietly laid a vast net to ensnare them all!
When the bells of the millennium ring, the world's financial headlines explode: “Mysterious Eastern tycoon lays waste to Wall Street!” Countless financial magnates go bankrupt overnight, leaving devastation in their wake!
My childhood friend clutches the newspaper, his hands shaking as if he has Parkinson's. His voice trembles. “Mo… Brother Mo! Back then, you said you were going to become the richest man in the world… I… I thought you were full of it…”
Standing before the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows atop Victoria Harbour, Lin Mo gazes down at the neon lights glittering like a river of stars. He swirls the red wine in his glass, a faint, imperious smile on his lips.
“This is just the beginning. I've only just made my first move on the world's chessboard!”
