Hello everyone, I am Cang Yiwei.

Today I recommend to you a novel that is currently being highly recommended.

Category: Urban-Urban Life.

Summary:
Reborn at the turn of the century, I was in Moscow, fresh off the plane, preparing to study abroad...

Wang Ye originally just wanted to be content with a small fortune and live a simple and happy life.

But pushed by the hand of fate, he was involuntarily headed towards the path of oligarchy!
【Brief Comment】

He's the author of two excellent books, "Starting from an Internet Tycoon" and "Reborn as a Russian Oligarch," both of which are excellent. His rapid ascension to Level 5 author status is inseparable from his exceptional storytelling. His new book, currently at 92 words, is just the right length for a splash.

My preview revealed a striking characteristic of this book: its fast pace and strong narrative. Urban rebirth stories are rarely set in Russia, partly because living abroad is somewhat more challenging than living in China. Authors without local experience generally struggle to capture the unique flavor of the genre.

In particular, I also wanted to investigate the local customs and practices at that time. If there were any major mistakes, readers would notice them and criticize them.

The author must have relevant experience, as he writes with great familiarity, and the sense of immersion comes out immediately.

The protagonist, Wang Ye, once enjoyed a harmonious family and a loving marriage. However, as he entered middle age, his career struggled, and his income plummeted with the stock market crash. With his regrets seemingly irreparable, he was suddenly reborn in Russia in 2001, preparing to begin preparatory school.

His later life experiences and work experience imbued him with remarkable maturity upon entering campus. He stepped up when his roommate was being bullied, defusing a provocative incident from his previous life that evoked a certain regret. He feigned ignorance when a foreign student from the same time group showed interest, believing it unnecessary to become too involved with these young women. However, he did express a strong interest in his Russian teacher, likely seeking to make up for some past-life regret. This was perfectly normal, as every reborn would make this kind of choice.

His career goals were clear. He began by reselling phone cards, securing a large order with his first purchase, quickly expanding his market. In those days, phone cards were a crucial means of communication. Many international students initially couldn't afford cell phones and relied on them for social interaction. To further expand his market, he contacted a distant cousin in the metropolitan city of Moscow, gained access to her social circle, and rapidly expanded his planned market.

The reason why I feel the writing is so smooth is, on the one hand, because the author conceived the book for six months and prepared very thoroughly. On the other hand, it is because the author is very familiar with the super-rich themes in urban rebirth novels, how to quickly create various exciting points, and does not bother you with any lingering or indecisive literary techniques.

With a strong plan and goal, he set his sights on his career and quickly built his fortune. This type of book has a very broad readership, especially for those who have lived abroad, who have a favorable impression of Russia and can quickly identify with and actively interact with it.

【to sum up】
