Chinese Melatonin Rebranding
Share
A story about a Chinese billionaire who made his fortune by rebranding melatonin before creating a gaming company.
"There's this Chinese billionaire who got rich by creating a melatonin product. He just took melatonin, rebranded it, made it sexy, called it a sleep aid, and it got huge. Then he launched the Zynga of China and ended up buying the building they worked in, just like Zynga did.
He became this big shot and now owns half a bank and all this other stuff. I love him because he's reckless - he's built a fortune and lost it all like 3 times."
