In the 13th year of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan, a middle-aged civil servant with a high risk of unemployment, and his three sons with very different personalities, started the most thrilling family business in history in Taiyuan. Not only did they have to avoid the layoffs of their boss Yang Guang, they also had to deal with the rising prices of Turkic investors, and even competed with colleagues Li Mi and Dou Jiande for the "No. 1 Group in the World" sign.
This historical novel uses the writing style of "Historical Records" mixed with workplace exhilaration. It is based on the old and new Tang books, and is supplemented by Dunhuang documents and Tang people's notes to restore the true "History of Li Tang's Entrepreneurship" for you:
- Li Yuan's 128 strategic swings before he pulled off his beard
- Li Shimin mastered the PUA talking skills at the age of 20 (how to make Yuchi Gong cry and be loyal)
- "Survival Guide: How to Survive the Seventh Day of the Lunar New Year at Xuanwu Gate" by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji
- Princess Pingyang's secrets of financing the Detachment of Women (comes with a survival manual for Chai Shao's son-in-law)
The book is interspersed with a lot of "workplace slang in the Sui and Tang Dynasties":
- Turkic War Horse=Angel Investment
- Opening warehouses to release grain=employee benefits
- Predicting nursery rhymes = creating public opinion
- Xuanwumen Incident = Seizing power by the board of directors
Special Collection
- Pei Ji's "Gong Wei Resource Replacement Science"
- "Comparative Analysis of Job Resumes" before and after Wei Zheng changed jobs
- KPI assessment form of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion
- Changan house price research report on the eve of the Anshi Rebellion
This is not a joke, it is a more vivid slice of history than "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".
