After Being Banished to the Village, I Monopolized Global Business

Lin Wan, an investment banking elite, was framed by a rival company, fired, and forced to return to her grandma's bamboo weaving village to heal. She found that the century-old bamboo weaving craft—something her grandma wove until her last breath—was on the verge of disappearing due to neglect. She bet all her savings to revamp bamboo weaving with her financial expertise: live-streaming the craft's stories, partnering with intangible cultural heritage institutions for IP development, and launching customizable bamboo home decor. Just as things picked up, an international home furnishing giant plagiarized her designs and smeared her as a "rural tacky fraud". Instead of backing down, Lin Wan brought the "Oriental warmth" of bamboo weaving to Paris Design Week, making global billionaires bid millions for a handwoven bamboo chair. When she rang the Nasdaq bell, this "loser" abandoned by the city had already used the old village craft to monopolize half of the global high-end home furnishing market.
