Synopsis

In the late 1990s, Liu Jun who studied in Germany returns to his hometown of Donghai. Following the tide of the times, he is determined to modernize his father's old machinery factory with leading technology.

As a private enterprise, Liu Jun struggles to acquire capital, connections, and technology. However, his friend Qian Hongming's import and export as well as real estate businesses are flourishing at this time and the two come to look out for each other.

Liu Jun becomes acquainted with Yang Xun due to technology, yet their falling out is also because of the same. Fortunately, Song Yunhui, the head of Donghai Group, favors Liu Jun and provides strong backing in the development of Tengfei Factory.

Despite his skills, Liu Jun remains down-to-earth as he adapts to the local environment while attempting to break through technical barriers. While working hard to complete the transformation of Tengfei Factory, Liu Jun realizes his own value. Tengfei Factory also strives to lead the torrent of China's manufacturing industry.
