Ling Chen, the president of Modern Technology Group, accidentally traveled through time and became the son of a run-down merchant in the capital city of the Northern Song Dynasty. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was faced with the desperate situation of his father's illness, debt, and family poverty. He put away the ruthlessness of the shopping malls of the past, but could not hide his deep business acumen - making the first pot of gold with improved rice paper, monopolizing the night market with a chain of food stalls, detonating the market of the elite with soaps and glass mirrors, and gradually building a business empire "Chen Ji" spanning catering, department stores, and military equipment.
He used modern rules to impact the ancient business world: he used the "membership system" to bind customers, relied on "tendering" to innovate water transportation, and relied on the "assembly line" to improve armaments. From being suppressed by aristocratic families, he counterattacked into the "Ministry of Commerce promotion" that Renzong relied on. He even tore down corrupt officials and toughened nobles in the maelstrom of power and conspiracy, and expanded his business territory to the whole country.
On the way, he and Su Qingyi, the daughter of his creditor, went from tit-for-tat to fighting side by side - she understood the rules of ancient business, and he had advanced business ideas. The two broke through the prejudice of family status, and fell in love with each other in business wars and court games, eventually becoming a legend of "powerful alliance". When the tyranny of a modern CEO meets the turmoil of the Northern Song Dynasty, let's see how he uses business to rewrite the times, from the edge of bankruptcy to the most powerful person in Beijing.
