Zhou Kui, a top-selling modern insurance salesman, was reading a late Ming novel. He was furious to see his namesake, Zhou Kui, the miserly father-in-law, refuse to give a penny to save the country, even withholding the two thousand taels the empress had provided. In the end, his family's fortune of over a million taels fell into the hands of the rebel king! Just as Zhou Kui was fuming and pounding his chest, he slammed on the brakes and choked to death on a bun.
When he opened his eyes again, he had truly become that stingy father-in-law, Zhou Kui. His son-in-law, the Chongzhen Emperor, sat on the throne with a worried expression, calling on the nobility to donate, while the entire court put on a show of inventive poverty. This time, Zhou Kui decided to go all in! In court, he made a thunderous declaration: “Your Majesty, I am willing to donate ten million taels!” The court erupted in uproar, and the nobility were terrified.
He formed a new army and staged a sting operation, telling the troops it was only a drill. They pretended the rebel army had captured Beijing, then “confiscated” seventy million taels of silver hidden in the mansions of the wealthy. Did he care about making enemies of the entire court? Not one bit!
Armed with a fortune, he went in person to Liaodong, bringing with him a personnel roster system far ahead of its time and “life insurance for fallen soldiers.” When ordinary soldiers received the first full military pay of their lives, along with weighty insurance documents, he won their complete loyalty. He offered Zheng Zhilong amnesty and used his ships for “logistics.” He resettled refugees, sending them to Liaodong to reclaim farmland under the auspicious name “New Life Resettlement Project”...
When Zhou Kui presented the thirty million taels confiscated from the Jin merchants' cellars and told Chongzhen, “Your Majesty, this is next quarter's insurance premium,” Chongzhen gripped his hand tightly. “Father-in-law, Ming is a company, and it can only go public with you at the helm!”
