Lin Cheng gave up a million-dollar salary to return to his village, turning cheap persimmons into high-end gifts and leading the whole village to wealth. Yet, driven by greed over profits and resentment towards strict quality control, the villagers of Qinglong Village stabbed him in the back and expelled him. He moved to the barren Heishi Village to develop high-end traditional dried persimmons. Meanwhile, Qinglong Village resorted to counterfeiting for profit, resulting in catastrophic food safety failures and crushing debts. Desperate villagers begged on their knees for his help, but Lin Cheng held firm to commercial ethics, bought out their collapsed industry at rock-bottom prices, and reshaped the agricultural landscape with ironclad rules.
