I Only Taught Them Business, So How Did the Three Kingdoms Become a Corporate Empire?

[Historical What-If] [Three Kingdoms] [People Read Too Much Into Things] Lu Chen transmigrates to an ancient parallel world and opens a tavern in Xudu, where he binds to the Business Implementation System. Since the world he transmigrated to has no Three Kingdoms, he assumes all the customers who come to his shop to vent are hapless bosses in different fields. To earn points and exchange them for supplies like air conditioners and stun batons, Lu Chen launches a hard-core business-war strategy that crushes the competition: Faced with “Old Cao,” a ruthless boss constantly strangled by local strongmen, Lu Chen says, “If you want to grow big and strong, you need to go for direct operations and a monopoly. Keep all the approval authority in your own hands!” Cao Cao responds by launching “Ruling Through the Emperor,” ruthlessly reaping the wealth of the great noble clans. Faced with “Old Liu,” a grassroots team with no money to speak of, Lu Chen says, “If you lack capital, build a personal brand IP. Establish your persona, then make your fans suffer!” Liu Bei charges into the lower-tier markets, and powerful warlords everywhere weep as they send gold bars and beg to buy in. Faced with “Little Sun,” a rich second-generation heir sidelined by his shareholders, Lu Chen says, “If you’re doing franchises, you have to know how to fleece the sheep. Make them compete on performance!” The gentry clans of Jiangdong are driven by KPIs to the brink of ruin, while Sun Quan counts the money through his tears. Years later, when these bosses bring armies a million strong and kneel before the chief manager with deeds to lands stretching ten thousand li, begging him to “lead the company’s IPO and ring the opening bell”... Lu Chen grips his stun baton, completely dumbfounded. “Wait, I only taught you how to put business ideas into practice. How did you end up dividing the whole realm among yourselves?!”
