The Road to Becoming the Richest Man: Starting with a Theme Park Skyline

Five years ago, Chen Xiangjie, a former “grind king” from a major tech company in Shenzhen, returned to his hometown with injuries and illness. He had planned to start a business back home, but walked into a butcher's trap and was forced to take over a barren mountain scenic area with nothing to its name.

And 35 million in debt.

Just when he had run out of options, the scenic area's Skyline System descended from the heavens.

From New Zealand's Blue Spring and Victoria Falls to the Golden Mountain at Sunrise, from the world's most thrilling roller coaster and most terrifying haunted house to its most futuristic theme park, he brought every wonder to life.

Five years later, a Fortune Weekly reporter came to interview him.

“Mr. Chen, what do you make of your scenic area being named by Time magazine the world's number one destination for the highest complaint rate, lowest satisfaction, most expensive parking, and least worth visiting?” the reporter asked.

Chen Xiangjie, newly crowned richest man in the country, scenic-area magician, world-class aesthetics master, and president of the Yunshang Group, pointed to screenshots of visitors' negative reviews behind him. “Do you know why we're the only place in the world that puts negative reviews up at the entrance?”

“To learn from them?” the reporter replied.

“No! The more miserable and tormented the visitors are, the more money I make!”

“Then there's also a source who claims your eight star employees, the ‘Yunying Beauties,’ are all your ex-girlfriends or blind dates?” the reporter pressed.

“Are you running a harem at the company?”

“Fake news!” Chen Xiangjie protested.

“The only way I ever discovered talent was through blind dates!”
