King of Capital, Rising from 1978

Your main plot is business warfare, but you need to develop side plots, which is crucial. You don't use the money you earn to show off, slap faces, pursue women, have fun with your brothers, return to the mainland, or go to Taiwan. There's no romance, no grand gestures of showing off to relatives with your parents, no brotherhood. Is what you're earning just paper?

There's no need to contact Lei Luo directly. It's like running a toy factory, a suitcase factory, a sticky note factory, a hook factory, a mouse trap factory, a rat trap factory, a zipper factory—the investment isn't too big or too small, but…

The story is set in Hong Kong in 1978, purely commercial with no wish-fulfillment plot. It's completely silent at first glance; I only realized after reading about 100 chapters that less than six months had passed in the timeline. I flipped through more than 250 chapters before finally arriving at January 1980.

In Hong Kong literature, which often focuses on films, TV dramas, or financial and real estate tycoons, this author uses a very novel perspective to build a legendary business empire starting from sugary drinks. So far, the reading experience has been excellent, the protagonist is intelligent, and the business game is also well written.

Are you kidding me? Selling to the military? Believe me, the very next day, your beverage will be copied all over the country. China didn't even join the World Patent Agreement in 1978.

They can openly have multiple wives and concubines over there, so let's hope the female lead remains chaste!
