[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?

In 1889, Xie Chang'an, whose soul originated in the modern era, opened his eyes to find himself as Pedro, the turbulent crown prince of the Brazilian Empire. The military's guns were already pointed at the palace, and the tide of republicanism surged through the streets. Facing this sinking ship, Xie Chang'an knew that history had given him only a dozen days.

But what he brought with him was a century's worth of insight and an iron fist.

He smiled and said to the rebel general, "You want to be president? Very well. But before that, let's first usher in an era for Brazil..."

From suppressing rebellions and reforming domestic affairs to forming alliances and expanding ruthlessly, Uruguay, Argentina, Peru… South American countries have bowed down one by one to modern military and diplomatic tactics.

When the new empire is proclaimed in Rio de Janeiro, the whole world will hear its declaration:

"The old world order is corrupt. From this day forward, the scepter of civilization shall be held by the new world!"

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)

A sudden time travel reveals the New York of 1940. It's World War II, a bloody conflict marked not only battlefield bloodshed but also ideological confrontation. As the epicenter of the world, New York undoubtedly teemed with the brightest minds of the era. Hemingway, Asimov, Lewis Sinclair, John Steinbeck, Pearl S. Buck, Maugham, Gide, Lin Yutang, Fitzgerald... And then there were those fighting the Axis powers in Europe, Camus, Agatha Christie, George Orwell, Arthur C. Clarke... Ernie exclaimed, "Everyone here is a talent. I love it!"... Years later, a young man, a veteran of both battlefields and studies, emerges with a gun in one hand and a pen in the other, shining brightly and rising in this golden age of literature...

In 1914, the United States had transitioned from the Gilded Age to the Progressive Age, enjoying 40 years of peace and a comfortable environment, and was the world's most powerful nation.

As world war looms, the curtain slowly rises on a golden age of emerging aviation industry, and a time traveler arrives.

What mark can it leave in this turbulent era?

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.

My name is Leo Wallace, a PhD student in history, and I'm $137,542.89 in debt. In the darkest moment of my life, I lost my job because I criticized a tech giant called "Omni" online, and they "optimized" my employment. I thought my life was going to be a classic Chinese comedy, until an intruder popped into my head. He said his name was Franklin Roosevelt—yes, the one on the 10-cent coin. "Kid, stop criticizing online, it's useless." "Want to mess with them? I'll teach you." "Our first step is to become mayor." And so, I, a keyboard warrior who couldn't even find a job, embarked on a magical path to running for president under his guidance. Wait, Mr. President, are you sure this Second Bill of Rights... isn't really going to...

In 1849, the California Gold Rush swept the world. But for Chen Mo, who had already been there for three months, it was not heaven, but hell. Driven away by white miners, he was forced to toil in vain on the barren riverbanks, exchanging his efforts for cold mud and "fools' gold." He faced ostracism from his fellow Chinese, who considered him an outsider because of his short hair and lack of a queue; nobody cared about him. The extortion from Master Chen, with his monthly protection fee of three dollars—more than his rent—suffocated him. Just when he was once again cornered in the river by thugs, his life hanging by a thread, he obtained the [Daily Intelligence System]!
