Fifth Grandpa originally planned to create a stimulating new economic market. This was the term Jiang Huashu told him, and it was also what Jiang Huashu taught him how to do. However, Jiang Huashu said that this had to wait until the planned economy was transformed into a market economy.

No one has a more profound voice on my country's market economy than Jiang Huashu. He rode that wave of opportunity, starting as a small-time fishmonger and boldly seizing every opportunity: stocks, futures, and later, foreign exchange. By the 1990s, Jiang Huashu was already spending millions on paintings. At the time, he was just 20 years old and hadn't even met Professor Dong. Despite his limited education, Jiang Huashu's entrepreneurial story is no less impressive than that of his more educated peers.

Later, Jiang Huashu simply made a video of the business course for Fifth Grandpa to watch. Needless to say, the old man actually took it very seriously and really absorbed it.

Unfortunately, when the actual operation began, it coincided with the crackdown, severely impacting black market sales in his hometown. All the gang leaders stayed home, waiting to avoid the spotlight before continuing. With no other options, Fifth Grandpa began to focus his energy on the Shanghai market. Shanghai's overall urban consumption power was completely different from that of his hometown, so Jiang Huashu ignored the Shanghai market's management planning, leaving it entirely to Fifth Grandpa. It was essentially just a simple matter of stocking the goods and distributing them by zone. Nothing else mattered, and for Fifth Grandpa, it was easy.

Unlike back home, the black market in Shanghai is truly a place where people can buy things. Shanghai was undoubtedly one of the first to transition from a planned economy to a market economy, so just be patient and wait for the transition; opportunities abound.

Having said that, Jiang Shaoming didn't say anything after he knew that Zhengnan had betrayed him. Instead, he asked Shuishui to pull him out of the space every night to go to the gang to deal with things.

Zhengnan was a child Jiang Shaoming picked up in an alley when he was young. Jiang Shaoming was walking through an alley on business when he heard a child crying near a trash can. He walked over and saw a crying child in a cradle.

This area was a slum, and it wasn't uncommon for people to abandon their children when they couldn't afford to raise them. It was rare for people to abandon boys, though. Jiang Shaoming had no choice but to take the child home and leave him in the care of a servant. Because he had found the boy facing due south, Jiang Shaoming named him Jiang Zhengnan.

After being left in the care of his family, Jiang Shaoming returned to the army. Zhengnan grew up in the Jiang family, and later, with Mr. Jiang's help, he went to school, learning many skills. He later joined a gang and helped Jiang Shaoming run it. He later became the second-in-command, and has been in that position ever since.

Zhengnan got married two years ago. His wife was a poor girl he had saved who had attempted suicide because her family forced her to marry.

After being rescued, the girl followed Zhengnan and severed ties with her family. People who have experienced death once might have a completely different personality. The girl was sarcastic and mean to everyone, but she was especially kind to Zhengnan. I don't know what Zhengnan saw in her, but the two of them were quite affectionate. Later, with Mr. Jiang's consent, the two of them got married.

Everything was fine until after the Lunar New Year this year, when Zhengnan's gang members noticed that his second sister-in-law had been constantly saying bad things about the big boss and that the gang should belong to Zhengnan. Actually, none of them knew who the big boss was, but the second sister-in-law kept saying it, and gradually everyone thought she was right.
