Capitalists Who Are a Bit More Realistic: No Handing Out Shares or Helping Others Unless There's Something in It for Them
I don't want stories where classmates get shares just for helping out, or where the protagonist has only a girlfriend and no other women. Why pour your heart out as soon as you start dating? What's with all the purity? Only the middle class expects to spend their whole lives as one big happy family. Can't we be a little realistic? Everything involves give and take. Stop helping other people at the drop of a hat.

Reborn, Capital, and a Protagonist Who Can Think!
I want books like Reborn as a Super Tycoon. Capital is built on blood, so don't recommend anything brainless. A lot of these protagonists have no trump cards, don't keep anything hidden, and some don't even hire bodyguards. Don't recommend that kind of nonsense!

It's really fun to watch, a lot of the processing is really unexpected But it has to be said that there are inherent disadvantages of this kind of novel without Goldfinger, that is, the plot of magical realism is no different from Goldfinger. The most intuitive reflection in this book is that as long as they make a request, even if they want this or that, they can really get it done before the deadline. The motorcycle part is really unpleasant Some people say that this is a "mass war", some people say that this is "the agencies are too clever in their calculations", some people say that this is a "conspiracy that is bound to collapse", some people say that this is a "sarcasm" All I saw was that I was led around the entire process until I was finally forced into a desperate situation. The only way was to keep searching, hoping to find something. Even the investigation might be misguided, and I survived by luck in the end. Maybe the author thinks that relying on accidental events to solve the crisis is a way to reflect the will of the people. I can only taste the powerlessness.
It's very good. It feels full of the American atmosphere of the 19th century. However, the number of words is too small and it is not enjoyable to read. It also feels like there is nothing else except business. It feels a bit monotonous. I hope the author can add some other elements, such as emotions and daily life. Overall, it seems to be a good novel so far. It's pretty good, but the plot feels too fast and tight 🤭
The plot does not drag on The protagonist is flesh and blood, not simply ruthless There is a heroine Basically no boring frustrations Moreover, the author and readers can often interact, which is very good and brings life to the book. Five stars
The writing is very good, the writing style is delicate, and the rhythm is appropriate. However, it feels a bit too strong in the emotional aspect. It is recommended to reduce the description of facial expressions, psychological description and evaluation (evaluation example: This is not..., But..., This is how he will build his own business empire)
Well written. The business model is very focused. Good. The plot is good. Want to bring Wall Street down. Generally no comments. Support you for your perseverance. Come on. This may be your training stage. You may go to the Platinum God
The content concept is quite novel, but it always gives me the feeling of watching an AI [what] the words the characters say and the description of emotions are a bit like gemini. If you don't usually use AI, you can take a look, it's quite interesting.
This book is the best business + strategy + history book I have read in a long time. There is no ink-drawn plot, and there are very few descriptions of emotions (this is really great. I have seen too many commercial stories about love, and I hope the author can keep this rhythm). The plot continues now, and the protagonist continues. After carefully cultivating the second generation of his son, the Williams family can become the oldest money in the United States, including banking, steel, oil, coal, medical care, food, finance, arms, armed forces, animal husbandry, railways, and shipbuilding super trust groups. Who would have thought that the Williams Group would grow from a canning workshop in a dark basement to become the world's largest trust group. In two words, it is a legend. It was so exciting to read it~ I hope the author can keep this plot rhythm and keep writing. There are only one or two thousand chapters, and the ending must not be sudden. Really, it is not easy to find a book that I can read all night long! Come on author
It's quite interesting, starting from scratch. Personally I think it can reach 9 points. There are also minor problems. There are a lot of descriptions of facial expressions, psychology, and environments, which makes it difficult to read. There are also many conflicts, which is a bit boring. I hope to add more daily life or make the infrastructure plot longer and slower. However, with three chapters a day, the above shortcomings are not so obvious. If there are five chapters a day, I will be barking.
This book was very comfortable for me to read, and the pace was fast. But the speed made me feel that every chapter was meaningful, and it was very fulfilling. I haven't read such a fulfilling book in a long time. First of all, the protagonist is not as smart as the Virgin. He is an ambitious capitalist with a forward-looking perspective from the 21st century who dares to venture and fight. I think he has more brains than Systematic. He is a protagonist who makes people feel comfortable watching his behavior. Secondly, the heroine is not a vase. She has an irreplaceable role. She uses her own power to solve problems for the protagonist and contributes to the business empire established by the protagonist. It makes people feel, wow! Is this a good wife? Unlike other heroines in other books who can only provide physical needs and emotional value, this heroine is hard to dislike. The heroine sometimes feels pity because she is still growing up and still adapting to this kind of business battlefield where people are killed without blood. No one is born cold and the heroine is still overdoing it. The author here writes very well and the transition is very comfortable. Finally, if you are tired of reading mindless and refreshing articles, you might as well try this book. It is like a cup of mint lemon tea with ice, bringing you a refreshing enjoyment, and it can also be substantial dry food to satisfy your book hunger. The reason for the low rating is that this book has just started. I hope all fellow Taoists will please stay and take a look [please update]
Guys, please leave a footprint when you pass by. It seems that you need more than 60 people to comment to get the lowest rating. If you want to have a rating, you can also write it down if you have any comments or suggestions. I will read and reply when I have time. I am really grateful to everyone who is watching and chasing up the data. The data on the fourth day of the verification period is still on the rise. Although it is not much, it is good if it does not fall. Make a wish and hope to have a big debut, 🙏🏻
