Reborn in Republican-Era China: From the Start, I Printed a Hundred Million Dollars

[Republican-era Infrastructure] + [Hardcore Industry] + [Strengthening the Nation Through Industry] + [Satisfying Read] + [The Rise of Chinese-Made Goods]

With his bank bankrupt and saddled with enormous debts, Lu Zeyuan chose the wildest possible path: printing American dollars to fund his start-up!

Everyone thought he was crazy, but he used that "dirty money" to kindle the first sparks of industry deep in the foreign concessions.

While everyone else was still debating whether to preserve Chinese learning as the foundation and use Western learning for practical purposes, his chemical factory was already mass-producing goods far ahead of their time.

While the warlords were still paying for foreign guns and cannons with gold and silver, his arsenal had already begun turning out standardized "Chinese-made goods" on assembly lines.

In the eyes of the world, he was a business genius. To compradors, he was the "public enemy of the industry." To foreigners, he was a "market disruptor" they hated to the bone. But he alone knew the truth: he was simply an industrial fanatic, determined to use steel, cement, and chemistry to forge a straight backbone for this ancient nation!
