Those Years We Built Our Empire

Those Years We Built Our Empire Plot:

When 30-year-old Lin Zhou sorts through his old belongings, he stumbles upon the 10-year-old partnership agreement signed with his childhood buddies, which flings him back to the summer of 2013 in an urban village. Four broke young men pooled 5,000 yuan to launch a barbecue stall. They braved urban management raids, tough client demands, and even fell out over profit splits. Some left for distant cities, while others clung to their original dreams. Now their tiny workshop has grown into a leading industry enterprise, but Lin Zhou has cut ties with his old friends over equity disputes. An anonymous package containing old barbecue skewers sparks their shared memories, drawing the four middle-aged men back to the original stall. They decide to reclaim the "empire" they built together and rediscover the brotherhood they lost over the past decade.
