Transmigrate to Republican-Era China: Opening a Trading Company in Shanghai

A modern-day office worker, worked to death by the 996 grind, unexpectedly died and transmigrated into the Republican-era city of Shanghai in another world. He took over the body of a young son from a landowning family in Gui Province.

Unhappy with the marriage arranged by his family, the original owner had run away to Shanghai's foreign concessions without permission. But he had no way to make a living, and in just a few days he was destitute and on the verge of starving to death.

As he struggled to survive in these chaotic times, the Nation-Guarding Synthesis System awakened with a bang!

Every day, he could claim an infantry squad of 12, choosing soldiers from among the Chinese, Germans, British, Americans, and Russians. Once he had enough men, he could synthesize them into platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, and brigades. They were absolutely loyal and had overwhelming combat strength.

The System's shop also offered astonishing support.

Chen Yang started by opening a rickshaw company, crushing local gangs and securing his footing. He then opened a foreign trading company, monopolized Shanghai's supplies, and amassed a fortune beyond measure.

He kept a low profile and secretly built up his forces.
