第一章 远渡重洋 

Crossing the ocean

It was the best of times, and the worst of times. In 1927, a future soul was reborn in the body of Sean, a poor Irish youth who had died of influenza. Faced with the post-war depression and the shattering of his family, he and his only sister, Irene, crossed the ocean to New York, the world's economic center, determined to change his fate. With insight and strategy ahead of his time, he seized opportunities to amass wealth, bucking the economic downturn of 1929 and becoming a newly wealthy tycoon. However, wealth was not the end. He navigated the maelstrom of politics and business, ultimately building a vast empire spanning finance, energy, medicine, and technology, becoming a world-shaping tycoon. This is the legend of a small man who reshaped his era. In the game of capital and power, he rewrote his own destiny and the destiny of the world.
