I'm a Legitimate Tycoon, Not an Underworld Godfather

Back in the wild, fast-growing year of 2000, legal prodigy Lin Mo takes over a bankrupt debt-collection agency. Its employees are all rough-looking layabouts with thick necks and mean faces.

To make money legally, Lin Mo lays down a strict rule: everyone wears custom-tailored black suits and ties, memorizes the Criminal Law, and conducts business with civility!

And so, the business world undergoes a complete transformation.

When a local bully comes looking for trouble, two hundred suited brutes, each six feet three inches tall, instantly surround him.

Their leader pulls out the Anti-Unfair Competition Law and presses a fist the size of a sandbag against the bully's forehead, smiling kindly. "Under the law, forcing someone to buy or sell is a crime. Please sign this voluntary acquisition agreement. We only believe in reason."

The bully breaks down on the spot. "I'll sign! Please, stop reasoning with me!"

A few years later, Lin Mo's conglomerate spans logistics, technology, and finance.

Whenever it faces a capital ambush, tens of thousands of suited thugs show up with briefcases and, in accordance with the law, give their targets a double dose of "physical and commercial salvation."

Wall Street tycoons tremble. "Who said he's a business genius? He's clearly an international bandit!"

Looking at the Global Top Ten Outstanding Youth award on his desk, Lin Mo sighs helplessly.

"Let me reiterate: we're a legitimate company that abides by the law!"
