The Pirate King of the Great Ming: I Just Want to Do Business

A 21st-century middle-aged office drone transmigrates into the Ming dynasty and becomes the pirate king Wang Zhi. From the start, he heads south to Guangdong with Ye Zongman and Xu Weixue to build ships and take to the seas. Through maritime trade, they amass great wealth, and by fighting pirates, they strengthen their merchant fleet. Gradually, they come to dominate the southeastern seas and monopolize the golden routes of maritime trade. Then, taking advantage of Japan's civil strife, they begin expanding there, conquering most of the country and establishing the Great Song Empire. Finally, they unite all the maritime powers of the East to found the Southeast Ocean Company, formally taking on the Western East India Companies in a battle for supremacy over the world's oceans.
