II. About the New Book: Leverage: A Practical Guide to Making Money for Everyday People
Can an ordinary person earn money without capital, connections, established sales channels or industry experience? Yes. The key is to leverage resources that others possess.
The book was written by Zhu Zhiming, a senior lawyer with over thirty years of experience in commercial legal services, for ordinary readers seeking to improve their circumstances.
Rather than relying on abstract theory or motivational clichés, it uses a rigorous, practical legal perspective to unpack the underlying logic of obtaining returns through resource integration. It proceeds from breaking mental constraints and identifying people and directions, through the principles and techniques of resource integration and the design of marketing, business and financial models, to the essential safeguards of compliance and legal rights.
This is not merely an introduction to business. It proposes a repeatable system of methods that teaches readers how to use external resources to increase their capabilities and pursue their financial objectives.
III. Five Distinguishing Features of the Book
1. A Lawyer’s Perspective and a Strong Legal Safety Net
Unlike many generic books about making money, this work is written by a lawyer with more than three decades of commercial practice. The author incorporates legal reasoning into practical business decisions, examines legal red lines such as illegal fundraising and pyramid-selling schemes, and repeatedly stresses that a method of making money must first be lawful. Alongside practical suggestions, the book provides safeguards intended to help readers proceed with confidence and sustainability.
2. A Complete Methodology: A Practical Operating System for Making Money
The book makes no promises of instant wealth. Instead, it presents an integrated methodology that can be studied and applied. Its eight chapters proceed from awakening and identifying people and directions, through resource integration and commercial pathways, to compliance and the protection of rights. They turn the broad idea of leveraging resources into a set of repeatable steps for ordinary readers.
3. Written for Ordinary People Rather Than Empty Motivational Messaging
The book is not a high-level strategic treatise addressed to prominent entrepreneurs, nor does it encourage public anxiety with motivational slogans. It is intended for people without substantial capital, special connections or family advantages who nevertheless have ambitions and a willingness to learn. Through plain and measured language, it describes a clear, pragmatic and hopeful route to building financial independence.
4. Concrete Tools for Practical Implementation
The work offers not only principles but usable techniques. Based on the author’s experience, it discusses five benefit-allocation arrangements—profit sharing, dividend sharing, bundled interests, equity participation and private-label cooperation—as well as four stages and four tools in marketing, four financial tools (segmentation, advance sales, credit and leverage), and two ideal business models. These repeatable frameworks help readers convert abstract business concepts into concrete actions.
5. A Rational Alternative to Conventional Success Narratives
The book speaks in the tone of an experienced lawyer advising a client: calm, objective and attentive to boundaries. It neither markets anxiety nor exaggerates likely results. Instead, it uses examples and careful reasoning to develop sound commercial judgment. The author presents restraint and clarity as valuable qualities for avoiding pitfalls in a complicated business environment.
IV. Comments from the Media and Book Reviews
“A book on financial awakening written specifically for ordinary people. It explains systematically how integrating external resources can magnify individual capabilities—almost an encyclopaedia of entrepreneurship for everyday people.” (Source: book review)
“The legal safety net supplied by the author’s perspective is a special strength. By insisting that earning money must be lawful and discussing illegal fundraising and pyramid selling, it gives ordinary readers greater confidence as they pursue financial goals.” (Source: book review)
“A practical business handbook genuinely written for ordinary people. It resembles an operating manual: it does not promise results or market anxiety, but offers a method to follow—a map for those finding their way.” (Source: book review)
“Plain language and clear logic, with analogies and examples that explain complex commercial concepts. The tone is calm, objective and measured, making it accessible even to readers new to business.” (Source: book review)

VI. Union Book: More than Seventy Years of Chinese-Language Literary and Cultural Heritage in Singapore
The history of Union Book Co Pte Ltd dates back to 1952. It is one of Singapore’s long-established Chinese-language bookstores, with a substantial cultural history.
In 1952, Union Publishing, which originated in Hong Kong, established an office in Singapore. A Singapore branch was formally founded in 1956, gradually becoming an important book institution serving local Chinese-language readers.
For over seven decades, Union Book has witnessed and contributed to the development of Chinese-language publishing and reading in Singapore. Its history is closely linked to influential publications including Chao Foon (《蕉风》) and The Chinese Student Weekly (《中国学生周报》), which left distinctive marks on Chinese-language literature, cultural dissemination and intellectual exchange in Singapore and Malaysia.
In 1981, Union Book moved into Bras Basah Complex, an area known for its concentration of bookstores, arts institutions and cultural organisations, and a recognised centre for books and culture in Singapore.
In 2022, Union Book marked its seventieth anniversary with a commemorative publication, Looking Back: Union Book Singapore’s 70th Anniversary, reviewing its development and cultural legacy. Major Singapore media, including Lianhe Zaobao, have also covered its history.
Today, Union Book continues to assemble Chinese-language publications from Singapore, Malaysia, mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places. Its catalogue includes literature, history, humanities, social sciences, business and lifestyle titles.
Alongside traditional bookselling, the store is extending its online services and promoting connections among publishers, authors and readers through new-book recommendations, author events and cultural activities.
From a traditional Chinese-language bookstore to a platform combining physical and online book retail with cultural outreach, Union Book preserves an important part of Singapore’s Chinese-reading heritage and continues to offer contemporary Chinese-language publishing a channel for visibility and dissemination.
The availability of Leverage through its physical and online stores creates new opportunities for the book to reach a broader Chinese-language readership.
