The Capital Vortex

New to the business world, entrepreneur Lu Zhanming and his partner Jiang Wanqing start from nothing and found a technology company amid the internet boom. As soon as the company gets off the ground, venture capitalists rush to invest. But just as Lu Zhanming wins the favor of investors, he is swept into an even bigger maelstrom of corporate warfare: established companies closing in, battles waged through capital manipulation, challenges from up-and-coming rivals, and tests of human nature and conflicts of interest within his own team. The company’s business divisions grow in tandem: technological breakthroughs and patent wars, market expansion and PR crises, overseas ventures and cross-border acquisitions. As power, profit, emotion, and ambition collide, the protagonist and his team gradually come to understand the brutal truth of the business world. In one business showdown after another, everyone is a pawn, and no one can control the game. In the “maelstrom of capital,” who will have the last laugh? And after all the turmoil, can they hold on to their true selves?
