How Do I Spend 220,000 a Day?

On the day Lu Chen was laid off in Shenzhen, he looked at the long list of abnormal results on his medical report and finally decided to return to his hometown, where even a group food delivery order could barely meet the minimum spend for a discount.

As soon as he got off the bus, a black screen popped up on his phone: “Local Tycoon Spending System successfully bound. County residents: 280,000. Each person will pay you 0.8 yuan per day. Today’s deposit: 224,000 yuan. Warning: These funds may only be spent within the county. Any use outside the county will reset your balance to zero.”

What did 220,000 yuan a day mean in a county town? The most expensive properties in the whole county cost less than 4,000 yuan per square meter.

His relatives urged him to find a steady job repairing cars or selling insurance. He said nothing, simply turned around and bought the county’s first Porsche Cayenne. His father cursed him for being out of his mind to buy that unfinished shopping complex, so he promptly poured money into it, opening an esports arena, a hot pot restaurant, and private cinemas.

Everyone in the village said he was crazy. Then he did something even more outrageous: he turned an abandoned thermal power plant into an indoor ski resort, built a top-tier hospital to Grade III Level A standards on a barren mountain, and paid out of pocket to build a six-lane road, wiping out the old county road that had rattled everyone to pieces.

One year, two years, five years. A place once so remote that even motorcycle taxis refused to go there had become an international new city of 20 million people, complete with a university town, a science and technology park, and a high-speed rail station.

When a reporter asked him for his secret, he rubbed his hands together. “If I don’t spend some money and fix the place up, soon I won’t even be able to live here myself.”
