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?

[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)

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!"

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...

He traveled back in time to early independent America, a time before skyscrapers and railways, a time of crisis.

Externally, it faces competition from powerful nations; internally, it faces the unruly behavior of local inhabitants.

This is the beginning of scientific and technological innovation...
