A city’s flavors become its domain; a rider gallops a thousand miles to shape the world.
A modern corporate-war take on the Three Kingdoms, two decades of conquest in the food business.
At the start of the new millennium, infighting brought down Zhongyuan Dining, a giant in the restaurant industry, while the internet wave swept across the land.
Liu Bei, a street-stall owner from humble beginnings; Cao Cao, a ruthless state-owned-enterprise mogul; and Sun Quan, an internet-era heir: each raised an army amid the chaos, using cities as their game board and food delivery as their weapon.
Capital was their provisions, merchants their strongholds, delivery riders their troops, and algorithms their stratagems.
After twenty years of campaigning, three sides contended for supremacy, and the flames of war spread north and south.
Cao Cao expanded his territory with an iron fist, Liu Bei built his realm on benevolence, and Sun Quan held firm in Jiangdong. Sima Yi, who had spent half his life biding his time, watched coldly from the sidelines, awaiting the moment to claim the prize.
This is a modern corporate-war version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms,
and an epic history of the rise and fall of the food delivery industry.
The capable compete for supremacy, the wise lay their plans, and the patient become kings.
In the end, the food era belongs to all, and the realm is divided into three, before returning to Jin.
