Ethan, a wonton stall keeper, appears ordinary yet is a reclusive financial magnate. During the bull market, crowds flocked to stock speculation. He issued repeated warnings about an impending crash, only to be ridiculed. His son Cedric suffered deep inferiority complex because of who he was. When the stock market crash struck, many entrepreneurs stood on the verge of bankruptcy, and all the tycoons bowed deferentially before Ethan. The villain Victor shorted the market to seize corporate assets. Ethan rallied capital to strike back, saving everyone from crisis and healing the rift between father and son. The work satirizes snobbery and speculative mindsets.
