Chapter 805 How can you stand as a result of the Countless Generations of Wealth?
Yang Fei smiled and said nothing.
Chen Ruoling continued to read the report and read: "The author immediately came to Linqu, there is a Qinchi Road here, which was paid for by Qinchi and named for repair. We interviewed random citizens in the surrounding area. According to the reaction of the citizens, a winery has driven many related industries around, almost everyone around has work, every day is too busy, making cartons, collecting wine bottles, and packaging, I originally supplied cartons to Qinchi, at that time, the people in this vicinity, no, it should be the whole county is stained. β
She thought for a while and said, "Is your beautiful daily chemical factory the same?"
"Which one?"
"The construction of roads has led to the development of the entire county economy. β
"Of course. Worse than. β
"One company, such a big impact on the local area?"
"Let's just say that in terms of economic impact, the locals only know that there are businesses, but they don't know that there are leaders. β
"In other words, the status of the village official is not as high as yours?"
"Huh. β
"The status of the county official is not as good as yours?"
"I didn't say that. β
"The economy is the foundation of national life and the foundation of determining the superstructure, and countless histories have proved that whoever holds the economic power has the right to speak. β
Yang Fei said: "You only saw one side. The fact is that out of the barrel of a gun comes out of power. How many famous rich people in history do you remember? How many of them will go down in history?"
"Do you want to be beautiful, and you want to enjoy all that wealth brings, and you want to go down in history?"
"Isn't it true that those who have the power to be a prince and a prince have never enjoyed it? But they are still recorded in the annals of history. β
"You say so, then the merchant has no status, and you are still in business?"
"I wonder if businessmen are not without status. At the very least, at that time, in the local area, the influence of the rich businessmen and magnates was definitely not ordinary, just like this Qin Chi, do you dare to say that he has no influence? No status? However, a hundred years later, who will still remember Qin Chi?"
"So, what do you want to explain?" Chen Ruoling was very interested in understanding Yang Fei's mental state, she rested her hands on the table, tilted her head, and looked at Yang Fei like a little fan girl.
Yang Fei said: "I don't know, the history books are written by the victors. Why did businessmen, who obviously occupy a very important position in society, not leave too much ink behind? Is there something unknown in the midst of this?"
Chen Ruoling said: "Listening to you say this, I think it's a little interesting. It piqued my interest in studying history, businessmen, and historiography. β
Yang Fei said: "I'll wait for you to answer, I'm serious." β
Chen Ruoling smiled and said, "I said it casually, don't you really want me to get into the pile of old paper to do research?"
Yang Fei said: "I'm really curious, what kind of role businessmen have played in history, and how should I position myself? Taking history as a mirror can help me avoid detours." β
Chen Ruoling saw that he was serious, so she said: "People, it's good to live a good life, why care about the name behind you?"
Yang Fei said: "What I care about is not the name behind me. I'm just curious to know the place of businessmen in society. You're curious, aren't you?"
Chen Ruoling said: "When we listen to the story now, we can also hear that the ancient squires paved bridges and roads, and gave relief to the victims. β
Yang Fei said: "No, there are quite a lot of records, I have studied it roughly." As far as I know, the word merchant originated in the Shang Dynasty and has a history of more than 3,000 years. Legend has it that after he retired, he became rich in business three times, scattered his wealth three times, boated on the five lakes, and traveled among the seventy-two peaks. Now he has become the god of wealth and is worshipped by merchants. β
Chen Ruoling said: "This is really a legend, whether it is fame or wealth, for him, it is at his fingertips." No wonder a beauty like Xi Shi will have a story with him. It seems that since ancient times, beauties love money!"
Yang Fei said: "There is also a famous businessman, who is a representative of Confucian merchants, his name is Duanmu Ci, the word Zigong, is a proud protΓ©gΓ© of Confucius, and is respected as the originator of Confucian merchants. β
"Zigong, I know," Chen Ruoling became more and more interested the more she listened, "Confucius traveled around the world, and when he was poor, he was a disciple who helped him. β
Yang Fei said: "During the Song Zhenzong period, the emperor made a person a merchant saint. β
"Yes, I have long heard that the Song Dynasty was commercially developed, and the overall strength was very strong at that time. But I've never heard of such a person. Chen Ruoling said.
Yang Fei said: "This person's name is Bai Gui, and he is the originator of the earliest business and financial management theory. He summed up the theory of doing business in four words: wisdom, courage, benevolence, and strength. And the financial management ideas of people abandoning me and taking me, people taking me and knowing and keeping are valued and used as references by future generations. Ancient merchants in our country worshipped him as a business ancestor. β
"So powerful?" Chen Ruoling said, "As a businessman, it is really remarkable to be able to do this job." β
Yang Fei said: "There are also stories about Lu Buwei and Shen Wansan, and there are more people who know about them." In modern times, there are world-class wealthy businessman Wu Bingjian, red-top businessman Hu Xueyan, as well as Wang Chi, known as the King of Money, as well as Sheng Xuanhuai, the father of industry, Zhang Jian, a champion industrialist and other representative figures. β
"I've heard of the other people you mentioned, who is Wang Chi?" Chen Ruoling asked, "What about the money king?" β
Yang Fei said: "Wang Chi established the 'Southern Yunnan Wang Si' horse gang, specializing in doing business in various places. He cooperated with the merchants of Chongqing and Yunnan to establish the Tianshunxiang business, and traveled to and from Sichuan and Yunnan to trade with each other, accumulating a lot of wealth. He opened the Tongqingfeng firm, which covers all provinces in the country and Southeast Asia. Li Hongzhang, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, once called it: It is like the treasury of the Qing court. The British "Times" once counted the richest people in the world in the past century, and Wang Chi ranked fourth. β
"So good?" Chen Ruoling said, "According to what you say, these people used to be prominent and much richer than the richest man now, but modern people know about them, and even less are praised." Most of the legends left behind are stories of fighting for wealth and being defeated by the emperor. β
Yang Fei said: "So I've been thinking, rich man, why stand?"
Chen Ruoling said: "What to erect?"
Yang Fei said: "Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand in the world!"
Chen Ruoling's eyes flashed with a clear streamer.
The boy in front of him, sitting here, was as quiet as a beautiful man, but his thoughts, his talents, and his thoughts about this society were far beyond the reach of people.
What an attractive man this is!
It makes people blush, and they can't help but want to take it for themselves!
"Yang Fei, you haven't said it yet, you saw Qin Chi's negative news, why did you say that this is good news? Are you gloating?" Chen Ruoling asked with a smile when she saw him looking over, her expression was calm, not like she was peeking at him at all.
