Friday evening November 15, 2019, the China Entrepreneur Network of Michigan State University held an event on the MSU Campus. "Crazy Rich" was a competition for students based around Speculation Strategy. MBN was on hand for a part of the evening.

Wade Tong and Jeffrey Mosher of Michigan Business Network visited this event to see what it was all about. Attendance for this was up from one held previously, and it drew attendees and competitors from both international and domestic students.
