先挣它一个亿

Born from a 2016 TV interview where real-estate billionaire Wang Jianlin casually suggested that young people set a 'small goal' — like first making 100 million yuan (~$15M USD). The jaw-dropping gap between his 'small' and everyone else's reality turned it into instant comedy gold. Now used ironically whenever someone names an absurdly ambitious target while pretending it's no big deal. Think 'I'll just casually conquer the universe first.'

In 2016, China's wealth inequality was a hot-button issue as a new billionaire class emerged alongside millions of young people struggling with stagnant wages and skyrocketing urban living costs. Wang Jianlin's offhand remark crystallized public frustration and became a sardonic shorthand for the yawning gap between the ultra-rich and ordinary workers dreaming of financial stability.
