Paradise goes left, Shenzhen goes right [Classic Recommendation]

Xiao Ran's first earnings of five thousand yuan were filled with guilt. At that time, he was a procurement officer at Yashi Qinglan Company, a soap company producing some soaps claimed to reduce weight, enlarge breasts, and even cure hemorrhoids.

Therefore, Xiao Ran was full of worries about their breast-enlarging products. It was in 1992, just after Deng Xiaoping finished his southern tour, Shenzhen was like a rapidly expanding big bread.

Another similarly ragged guy looked disdainful, "Do trade? That's a waste of money. I've just circled more than ten mu of land in Bao'an, real estate is the only way to make big money, buddy!"
