In 2000, having failed the college entrance exam, Li Hai defies his family's opposition, the villagers' ridicule, and his fiancée breaking off their engagement, using the bride price savings his parents accumulated over half a lifetime to buy twenty thousand catties of mantis shrimp—shunned as worthless pests. Using his grandfather's secret recipe, he turns mantis shrimp into a night-market hit snack and makes his first fortune. He boldly invests in abandoned saline-alkali ponds to build a live holding facility, stabilizing technology and opening up sales channels with the help of his childhood friend Su Qing, an aquaculture major. When the bubble bursts on high-end seafood and deep-sea fishing collapses, Li Hai's mantis shrimp empire surges against the odds, eventually overcoming artificial breeding hurdles to establish a complete cold-chain enterprise and go public.
