The richest man, also referred to as the tycoon, is the head of the grooming program that has been raising candidates since childhood, including Qing Yan who ranked fifteenth and Mu Ye who ranked first. He is based in Liangzhou and was seen scattering fish food into a pond in fine rain. He disqualified Qing Yan from the program for violating the rule against criminal entanglements and destroyed his company as punishment, stating that some things cannot be taken back but can be destroyed. He rewarded Qing Qin with all the vineyards taken from Roland as spoils for the victor and sent Qibao a hundred tickets to Crocodile Park in Qianzhou. He described the game as having been too peaceful and seems to enjoy manipulating events from behind the scenes, viewing the candidates as pieces in his game.
