The Spendthrift

A young man inherits the world's greatest fortune. He's a merchant who refuses to take the usual path, a spendthrift who turns conventional business on its head.

He has an ordinary name, but it carries his parents' blessings: Xiao Tianci. Raised by his mother, he grew up tough and brave. Before turning thirty, he already had tens of millions in assets. One day, he learned who his father was and discovered his family roots. He also inherited the world's greatest fortune, along with the world's biggest troubles. He realized he had fallen into a fog, and wondered what lay behind the deaths of hundreds of his family members.

To uncover the truth behind the fog, he launches a series of reckless schemes. He loses money until he ends up making acquisitions, builds a desert villa resort, offers lunar mining as an employee benefit, buys two aircraft carriers at a time, then sinks one of them; builds two companies at once, then runs one into the ground with the other... He uses unconventional methods to turn losses into wins and destruction into creation, forging a business model that defies convention.

He likes letting people think he's easy to fool. He likes being called a spendthrift. He wants to explore prehistoric ruins, and each of his schemes is crazier than the last. Behind his arrogance, is it family, love, or simply survival? All the excitement awaits in The Spendthrift.

I've started a new book. Everyone asked what genre it was, and I was at a loss for words. I couldn't think of anything on Qidian that quite fit, so I finally blurted out, "A spendthrift story!" But one of my buddies said it could be called "reverse business." Just imagine what happens when you turn commerce on its head...

Within a game of strategy, moving one pawn can decide the whole board. His game began long before anyone knew it was being played...

(The Spendthrift is Pingfanxin's seventh VIP novel on Qidian. All the others are already complete, so you can read with confidence. I've read everyone's questions about this book. My answer is that the earlier questions are the setup, and the later chapters provide the answers. If you want to curse me, that's your choice, but please wait until you've read the later chapters. Then you'll have better grounds for it, don't you think? This is a long novel, but it won't take forever to finish: expect a breakneck pace and nonstop excitement.)
