[Full-Cast Audio Now Available, Tune In] Discover the legendary life and business acumen of Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty! A man said to be wealthier than the nation itself, a model of commercial wisdom, and the subject of a true textbook on the ups and downs of business and politics! He was no official, yet emperors feared him. He was no lord, yet his name was carved into the walls of Jinling!
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a country boy named Shen Wansan was seized by the authorities and conscripted. By a twist of fate, he ended up working as a shop assistant at the Liu family trading house in Dadu (Beijing).
With his knack for reading people, Shen Wansan gradually learned the rules of business, politics, and social life, both spoken and unspoken, and helped his employer overcome one crisis after another.
Unfortunately, he also learned a major secret about those in power. To protect himself, he had no choice but to leave the capital and return to his home in Jiangnan...
As the times grew turbulent, Shen Wansan used his people skills to compromise, ingratiate himself, and read the situation among the Yuan court, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shicheng, and Chen Youliang. He walked a tightrope, resolving one crisis after another while doing business with ease.
From selling contraband salt, trading grain, and running money houses to speculating in real estate, procuring military supplies, and engaging in overseas trade, his ventures took him north to Dadu and south to the Nanyang. Wherever he went, there was business to be done and money to be made, and little by little he built his own commercial empire...
