Siheyuan: The Rise of a Business Empire

【Comedy + passion + no female lead (the male lead is underage early on, but one may be added later)】 Golden finger: unlimited supplies. The more he sells, under certain conditions, the more types he unlocks. He can also spend gold to gain other abilities, such as enhancing his body, creating unlimited storage space, and recruiting loyal death squads. At first, he keeps a low profile and quietly develops in the courtyard compound. In the middle and later stages, he establishes a foreign trade company to reap profits from the global economy and builds the world's most powerful mercenary army, stirring up the world. The protagonist gets very little screen time early on. The story shifts to focus on the main cast only after he reaches Hong Kong. If that bothers you, don't read.
