The First God of Wealth in Ming Dynasty

Protagonist: Li Jingming Modern identity: A top financial analyst and venture capitalist in the 21st century. He has a deep understanding of history, finance, and business operations, but he is a bit "bad" in his personal life and likes to enjoy himself. Ancient identity: Li Jingming, the only son of the wealthy Li family in the south of the Yangtze River, lived in Songjiang Prefecture, Nanzhili Province. This is a century-old family that has been dealing in silk and cloth for generations. The family has great wealth, but its population is declining, and the protagonist is the only heir. Era background: The middle and late Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (about 1540s). This was an era full of contradictions: the sprouts of capitalism were quietly emerging in the south of the Yangtze River, and the commodity economy was unprecedentedly prosperous; but at the same time, there was fierce party struggle in the court (Yan Song was dictatorial), Japanese pirates were infested, the northern border defense was tight, the treasury was empty, and social conflicts were acute. This provides an excellent stage and unlimited challenges for the protagonist's business empire. Goldfinger/Protagonist Advantages: Advanced business knowledge: modern finance, marketing, business management, supply chain optimization and other knowledge. Information gap: Know the major historical trends in the next few decades (such as Zhang Juzheng's reform of the one-whip method, Longqing switch, silver inflow, etc.). Mentality advantages: I am used to the cruelty and bubbles of the modern capital market, have a high sense of risk, and am good at "empty-handedness".
