My Money Makes Money. You Think You Can Compete with Me?

Reborn in 2020, Chen Zihan has just 43 yuan in his pocket.

His ex-girlfriend has just tricked him out of his ancestral home and recipe, his family's rice-roll shop on Longjin Road could close at any moment, and Zhou Ji across the alley is watching like a hawk.

Then he awakens an absurd System: every yuan he spends on running his business comes back threefold.

Buy rice, get three times the money back. Renovate, get three times the money back. Build a central kitchen, and whatever he invests comes back threefold. Other people worry about losing money when they open a shop. He worries about not spending it fast enough.

Starting with a single rice-roll shop on Longjin Road, Chen Zihan uses quality ingredients and transparent standards to build his way up to a grand teahouse in Shangxiajiu, exposing Zhou Ji's frozen goods passed off as freshly made for what they are.

The restaurant association joins forces to lock him out? He buys supplies across provincial borders and builds his own cold chain.

Guangdong Province's distributors impose a three-tier blockade? He buys directly from producers, establishes a licensed security company, and carves out a new path by sheer force.

National food conglomerates short and suppress his company, then launch hostile takeovers? He fights back head-on with the System's cash and the value of his businesses.

Ultra-low-temperature flash freezing makes frozen dim sum almost as good as freshly made. His knack for putting the right people in the right jobs turns a small team into a group. His Wing Chun mastery and crisis judgment protect those around him in the final showdown.

Lin Xiaoyu handles finance, Qin Nuonuo handles the brand, Gu Qinghan handles risk management, Shen Zhiyi handles capital, and Jiang Wan handles strategic mergers and acquisitions: five women, five careers, all fully informed and consenting, with no rivalry or infighting.

From 43 yuan to a Hong Kong listing, Chen Zihan thinks he's won.

Only in the final chapter does the System speak up for the first time.

“My money makes money. What can you possibly compete with me on?”
