The story takes place in France in the 1960s. Georges Fabre-Simon, the CEO of an electronics and information technology company, deeply marked by the era's characteristics and the "European spirit," struggles in the tide of the commodity economy. He fiercely consolidates capital, dedicates himself to establishing France's electronics industry system, faces international competition, and contends with the challenges of American rivals. Time and again, his merger plans succeed, but this time he encounters a formidable opponent; he spends heavily to buy out traitors and gather intelligence on his rivals, only to find another hand reaching into the stock market. As an entrepreneur, he possesses a strong commercial acumen—"a walk can create value," "every step can stir up a cloud of silver dust." His wealth grows like a snowball, expanding wave after wave, while the rising tide of labor movements and frequent family crises disrupts his plans one after another. As an ordinary person, he has all human desires. He places his wife in his mansion like a vase, for his enjoyment and indulgence, only to find her unable to endure loneliness and seek pleasure with others. The work showcases the success path of a modern entrepreneur who triumphs with wisdom and courage, while deeply revealing the inner world of an entrepreneur, the complex dynamics of marital relationships, paternal bonds, and the emotional entanglements between lovers, forming intriguing stories. At the same time, the colorful French culture and social scenes, as well as the portrayal of the French people, unfold before the readers like a painting.
