Features: In the past decade, an increasing number of "tycoons" and "moguls" from mainland China have arrived in the United States with vast amounts of undetermined assets, living extravagant lives. Many of them have fortunes and net worth that have reached astronomical figures. American Hong Kong and Taiwan tycoons, as well as white American tycoons, have been stunned by their extravagance. Who are these people? Where does their wealth and "value" come from? What secrets lie behind their luxurious lifestyles? This book takes a kidnapping case as its main storyline, revealing through gripping and thrilling writing, the many unknown and rarely discussed real-life details of the lives of mainland China's economic criminals in the United States. Not only is the plot intricate, but the philosophical, legal, sociological, economic, political, futurist, and psychological issues it uncovers are deeply thought-provoking. The book is a compelling and seamless read, serving as a vivid textbook that offers a glimpse into the social transformations, corruption, outflow of state assets, and the rise and fall of various characters in the economic tide of contemporary Chinese society.
