In 1903, Wang Chi, the king of Qian in Yunnan, was critically ill.
When modern financier Wang Hongtu opened his eyes, he became Wang Chi's eldest son. Outsiders thought he was a sickly young master, the clan uncle was waiting to seize power, the shopkeeper was busy covering the accounts, the government was keeping an eye on the bank, the merchants were sharpening their knives, and the foreign banks had already reached out to Yunnan Bank.
The first night he woke up, he found an urgent letter from Guangzhou under his pillow:
There is no shortage of silver, but the account has died first.
Dead people collect money, counterfeit bills are cashed out, government bills are emptied, and century-old bill numbers are riddled with holes.
In this life, he does not seek to be the richest man in troubled times.
He wanted to link up the military and government, business gangs, foreign companies, scholars, and chieftains, and support the declining Wang family into a financial ballast that no one in the southwest could do without.
Reader comments
The writing style and plot of this book do not look like those written by a new author.
It's beautiful, the writing is light, but it's closely linked and pressing step by step. Let's see how the protagonist breaks new ground.
