The story is set in France in the 1960s. Georges Fabre-Simon, the CEO of an electronics and information technology company, marked by strong era characteristics and the "European spirit," struggles in the tide of the commodity economy. He persistently consolidates capital, dedicates himself to establishing France's electronics industry system, faces international competition, and counters 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 traitors and gather intelligence, only to find another hand reaching behind the stock market. As an entrepreneur, he has a strong commercial awareness—"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 human desires. He places his wife in his mansion like a vase, for his enjoyment and indulgence, only to find her eventually seeking pleasure with others out of loneliness. 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 marriage, the father-son relationship, 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.
