Urban + System + Tycoon + Business Management
After his company scapegoated him and fired him, Lin Chuan returned to his hometown. He had planned to help his father claim 120,000 yuan in work injury compensation, but instead ran into 84 workers blocking the factory gates to demand their wages.
The factory had shut down, wages were three months overdue, and the bank would repossess the equipment in 90 days.
Lin Chuan gritted his teeth and took over the decrepit factory for one yuan.
That very day, he was bound to the Employee Benefits System. It gave him one million a day, which he could only spend on employees.

So his competitors all waited for him to burn through the money.
But what they saw instead was a veteran technician, once too afraid to take responsibility, returning to the production line; the cafeteria auntie's family recipe selling out; an ordinary packaging worker sending the factory trending online; and a group of people bent low under the weight of life saving the failing factory with their own hands.
Many years later, someone asked Lin Chuan, "How did you build your business into a nationwide enterprise?"
