Lu Shenzhou was air-dropped from modern Wall Street and traveled through Dayong. When he opened his eyes, he was saddled with a huge debt of 200,000 taels.
One hundred thousand taels expired on the same day, and eight creditors came to ransack the house, the warehouse was seized, the engagement was cancelled, and there were only forty-seven taels left in the account.
Everyone was waiting for the Lu family to go bankrupt, but he reversed course and not only took back the family property, but also asked creditors to continue lending him money.
Burn defective products, rebuild weaving mills, launch annual membership contracts, launch price wars, and annex rival industries...
In this era where there are no legal restrictions on capital, Lu Chenzhou used debt restructuring and capital operations to roll the 200,000 taels of debt into 2 million or 20 million. The more he owes and the bigger his fortune, the less the world will dare to let him fall.
The aristocratic family wanted to cut off his money supply, and eventually pledged their ancestral home and property; the imperial court wanted to use its power to suppress him, but found that the national treasury, military pay, and food supply had long been inseparable from the Lu family.
When Bei Yan's million-strong army marched south, Lu Chenzhou did not lead a single soldier, but only relied on grain deeds, warehouse receipts and trade routes to empty the enemy's grain depots, starving the enemy before they fought.
The emperor personally visited the Lu Mansion to ask him to save the country, but he pushed the loan deed to the imperial court.
"It is possible to save the country, please press the seal first."
From a bankrupt young man with a debt of 200,000 taels, to the world's first debtor who no one dares to collect.
In the end, everyone in the world became his debtor.
