You Were Supposed to Be a Coal Tycoon, So Why Did You Take the Whole Village Public?

On his first day taking over a shuttered coal mine, Lu Zhao is cornered in his office by the workers and bound to the Ultimate Villainous Capitalist System.

Earn the people's resentment and collect a three-million-yuan personal bonus. Get praised, and his personal spending allowance is docked on the spot!

With no upper limit on his operating capital, Lu Zhao decides to start by raising prices.

He raises the cafeteria meal price to fifty yuan, but uses the existing subsidies to let employees enjoy beef for five yuan.

He spends six million yuan to buy a broken road and charges fifty yuan per trip. He declares in person: "I built this road, and I'm going to recoup my costs."

The dirt is dug up, and reporters arrive.

But how did she end up filming the free passage, wages being paid, and children going to school in the second half of her report?

He is still waiting for the whole internet to curse him, but his employees have already started promoting him, and villagers show up at his door carrying banners of appreciation.

At the first settlement, Lu Zhao can't even afford to buy a massage chair. Yet the county's thirty-six villages have already sent him loss-making projects to put on his desk.
