1984 was a tumultuous and passionate year. Let's all go into the sea, "all young or not too young people are using this vocabulary to test and encourage each other. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were three waves of going into business, the first of which occurred, followed by two in 1987 and 1993. After nearly six years of brewing and agitation, the trend of "doing business for all" finally arrived. At that time, there was a catchphrase circulating in the north - "One billion people, nine hundred million down, and one hundred million still in search". According to a survey conducted by China Youth Daily, the top three most popular professions that year were taxi drivers, self-employed individuals, and chefs, while the last three options were scientists, doctors, and teachers. "Those who fix their brains are better than those who shave their heads" and "those who engage in missiles are better than those who sell Tea egg" are popular sayings at that time.

In August, Mou Zhongzhong was released from prison for the second time. This time, he was imprisoned for 11 months, and the charges were still unfounded. He was released on August 31st, and on September 18th, he hastily held a Sino German resumption of business symposium. On October 5th, he upgraded the Sino German store to a Sino German trading company, and soon upgraded it to the Sino German Industrial Development Corporation. A few years later, his company was renamed Nande again, and he designated 1984 as the founding year of the company.
