Shen Zhiwei, a modern business elite, once traveled through time and became the only daughter of a salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River during the Jiajing period.
Before the family fight could counterattack, an imperial edict sent the Shen family into the abyss: the men were exiled and the women were transferred to the Jiaofang Department.
The splendor and wealth can turn into life-threatening shackles in a blink of an eye.
Faced with a desperate situation, Shen Xiaowei tore up the house fight script and ran away on a rainy night.
She dived under the waves and built a business from scratch on the chaotic southeastern coast with her business wisdom and strategic vision that transcended the times.
Establish a fleet, create a chamber of commerce, optimize technology, and compete vertically and horizontally...
In an era bound by the maritime ban policy, she built a maritime empire in the stormy seas that connected the world and was extremely wealthy.
Three years later, a huge fleet lined up in Tianjin Port, with its guns pointing directly at the Forbidden City.
Shen Zhiwei stood at the bow of the ship and issued an ultimatum that spanned the ages to the ancient imperial power:
"Either open the sea for trade and share the benefits of the ocean; or, my artillery fire will be the prelude to your destruction."
This is not a story about competition for favor in the harem or success in the imperial examination.
This is a legend about the collision of capital, sea power and empire.
See how a modern soul uses business as a weapon to create a new path for himself and the times in the torrent of history.
