In Troubled Times

In the second year of the Republic of China, the Hankou Pier was shrouded in rain. The old shopkeeper of Hengrui Trading Company died suddenly late at night, and he was forced to come to his door with 30,000 foreign fake IOUs! Foreign companies are pressing for debts and the government is imposing seals. A 40-year-old brand is on the verge of extinction in an instant! Wei Liansheng, the twenty-year-old chief accountant, stood in front of the secret compartment in the back room and pulled out the top-secret account stained with suet and old ink. "The ink is black and the rice paper is white, but the person keeping the accounts must have a clean heart." No cash? Then rely on credit leverage and go to the pawn shop with nothing; no route? Then use the profits as bargaining chips to force the water transportation gang and the comprador to surrender! From the pawnshop game of nine exits and thirteen returns, to the Achilles heel of the French Concession's transit tax exemption rules; from the gunpoint confrontation at Pier 2, to the pricing power of controlling the Yangtze River waterway. In this life, he does not rely on guns and swords, but only relies on an old mahogany abacus to calculate all the changes in Jianghan and suppress the short sellers of foreign banks! Let's see how the small accountants use black and white words as their soldiers, set up traps in a series, swallow up enemy assets, build the Great Wall of national industry, and leverage the entire business situation in troubled times in the deadlock of warlord strife and foreign capital blockade! "In black and white words, the world will be settled; in the end, everyone will decide, and you will be worthy of the common people!"
