[Civil War] [Business War] [Calm and Decisive] [Gilded Age] [Technological Explosion]

Alan, a business elite, died in a car accident under a heavy truck, but his soul accidentally traveled to New York in 1860 and became a 19-year-old Irish youth with nothing.

With only $75 in his pocket, he built a canning factory from scratch using modern business thinking, expanding it to become a company. During the turbulent years of the Civil War, his assets soared thanks to precise planning.

With the advent of the Gilded Age, he expanded into oil, steel, military industry, railroads, and even ventured into media, real estate, electrical technology, and the hotel industry. From a contemporary elite to a 19th-century pauper, how did he create a multi-faceted, top-tier family tycoon in America a century ago?

The life of Wall Street's most legendary short.

During the Battle of Los Angeles, illegal immigrant Chen Ping died unexpectedly.

With deep resentment, Chen Ping was reborn in America in 1891 and possessed the body of a 14-year-old white boy named Larry Livingston.

His lack of historical knowledge in his previous life and this premature rebirth left him completely unable to seize the opportunities of the times.

But he always felt that he was extraordinary and that he should be a legend.

A voice told him:

Go to Wall Street, that is your battlefield...

38 years later, in 1929, Larry Livingston became a legendary trader feared by Wall Street. He single-handedly planned the U.S. stock market crash and the economic crisis that swept the world!

Everyone who went bankrupt because of Livingston cursed him to go to hell.

But Livingston said,

"Hell? I am the devil who returned from hell. I am the ghost that roams over the capitalist world! Tonight, I want to hear the sound of kneecaps cracking all over Wall Street!"

(Rebirth + endless war in the financial market + a little disturbance of history = the life of a legendary Wall Street short)

(By the way, this article should probably be placed in the [Fan Fiction] category)

Zhou Zhiqiang was originally an honest and hardworking craftsman, earning a meager living by repairing home appliances every day. The old folks used to say that learning a trade would ensure you wouldn't starve. While he might not have starved, his wife disliked him for being poor, and they eventually divorced. Now, given a second chance at life, would Zhou Zhiqiang still choose to be an honest and hardworking craftsman? Of course not. He wants to be a man with lots and lots of money.

A particularly nostalgic story. Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Billy Wilder… Roman Holiday, The Seven Year Itch, Witness for the Prosecution… From black and white to color films, let's revisit that creative cinematic world and those old movies that still seem interesting today.
