Mergers and Acquisitions in the Northern Song

Shen Yan, a top modern investment banker, wakes up as the eighteen-year-old heir of a declining merchant family in the Northern Song dynasty, with only half a pawnshop to his name. Without any system or cheat code, his only advantage is his modern financial knowledge: valuation, betting, asset restructuring, and leveraged buyouts. He turns family infighting into equity restructuring, plays supply chain finance and mergers in commercial price wars, and navigates the political reforms of Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, rising from contempt to reliance. As enemies escalate from family and business rivals to court officials, a final showdown over national fortune unfolds. This is a historical business war novel that rewrites Northern Song commercial history with M&A thinking. — Description from novelcodex.org
