    Reader note

    It is highly recommended to read this new book for the following reasons: 1. The writing is excellent, and it's hard to find fault with either the characterization or the logic of the story. 2. With a profound intention, this is a true story about Chinese-funded enterprises in the process of globalization under the background of the One Belt One Road national strategy. 3. The characters are full-bodied, whether they are protagonists, supporting roles, or villains. All members' IQs are online, and their emotions are in line with the realistic logic of adults. 4. The plot is real and there is no sense of suspension at all. Whether it is personal growth or corporate development, or even the concept of national strategy and corporate linkage, it has a clear foothold, is consistent with realistic logic, and can withstand any scrutiny. Because the author has a professional background as a core executive of a multinational enterprise. 5. Professional and hard-core, the business wars, legal games, offshore finance, secondary markets, international relations, geopolitics, etc. In the novel are all at the textbook level (don't believe it, even experts in various fields will consider it to be excellent). I even think that this novel will become "Dajiang Dahe" in the new era.
