Registration X Hu Xueyan: The sedan chair carries people up. The history of China is always about success or failure. As a completely failed businessman, Hu Xueyan won a lofty historical position instead of being labeled as Reservoir Dogs. The reason is that he holds high the banner of patriotism and love for the people, and interprets the battle of interests among businessmen as a battle to carry forward the national justice. If you want to select the "super businessmen" in the history of China, there is no doubt that Hu Xueyan has great hope of winning the championship. The story of "Teacher Hu" was publicized by famous writers such as Levin and February River, and Luoyang paper was expensive for a time. Coupled with the follow-up offensive of TV series, the image of "Mr. Hu" has become a household name and a generation of business sages. In the history of China, heroes are always judged by success or failure. As a completely failed businessman, Hu Xueyan was not defeated by Reservoir Dogs, but gained a lofty historical position, which was closely related to his last commercial war. This is a raw silk war with foreign businessmen. Hu Xueyan painstakingly paid the principal of 20 million taels of silver for purchasing and hoarding raw silk. It is said that he worked so hard to save sericulture farmers oppressed by foreigners and fight for national industry and commerce. His heart is filled with the well-being of the people and the prosperity of the nation, but he has no self. Regrettably, this high-profile achievement project and face-saving project eventually became a "bean curd project". Hu Xueyan, which held high the banner of loving the people and patriotism, suffered a crushing defeat, with losses as high as18 million. His private bank "Fukang Bank" also went bankrupt immediately, which triggered a chain reaction and the crisis spread to more than half of China. Hu Xueyan bought a huge sum of money for raw silk, most of which came from his own bank. It was undoubtedly an act of "disturbing the financial order" to play this high-risk game with depositors' money, but good history chose to forget it. At the same time, depositors, citizens and large and small enterprises suffered heavy losses in this crisis. These "silent majority" are hidden in the shadow of that high-profile banner, and their shouts all the way are drowned in the irrelevant cheers of the elites who have the right to speak. A few silkworm farmers who got silk money from Mr. Hu became pigments in the hands of historical painters, smearing black disasters with historical romanticism and heroism. Hu Xue Weir Hometown Association, which has been treated well by history, has achieved extraordinary and leap-forward development in shopping malls and officialdom by virtue of its personal abilities and opportunities. It has been absorbed into the leading group, mixed with second-class hats, enjoyed provincial and ministerial treatment, and became a "red" capitalist. The secret of the success of the Shang sage is not "no deceit" and "true price" that are still being recited today, but his slogan "enterprise spirit", which is similar to today's "seeking truth from facts and forging ahead" and has no originality and technical content. At that time, there should be many businessmen shouting similar slogans, but only a few "outstanding entrepreneurs", including Mr. Hu, were able to sneak into the officialdom. From wage earners to well-known entrepreneurs at home and abroad, every step of President Hu's growth is inseparable from the care and support of left-wing leaders. He also clearly realized that government public relations was the first productive force of the Great Qing Dynasty. Only by firmly grasping the leading role of this development and realizing the monopoly or partial monopoly of certain industries or certain businesses can we form real core competitiveness. In the works of some writers and historians, Hu Xueyan seems to be a sage who worries about the world first. As a group of people who got rich first in the Great Qing Dynasty, he did not hesitate to "enjoy the world first". On the beautiful West Lake, "President Hu" built the "First House Garden", which undoubtedly greatly boosted the GDP growth of Hangzhou. As for his "concubines in groups, build the thirteenth floor to store them", it has become a proof of his personal charm and even "great love" in the drummer's pen. Visiting Mr. Hu's former residence in Hangzhou, we can vaguely see the prosperity of Shi Ding's former residence, which has become a famous cultural heritage. It can still pave the way for local "economic singing opera" and will not be used as a teaching material for "anti-corruption education". Hu Xueyan does have strong points and has won the favor of history. The dispute over businessmen's interests has nothing to do with patriotism. Hu Xueyan, who has been well treated, naturally hopes to be in by going up one flight of stairs in her career. After becoming a famous entrepreneur in China, he turned his attention to the international market and tried to win a sigh for China people. The fulcrum of competition is silk. At that time, silk and tea trade, like oil today, was the mainstream business in the world. The raw silk industry in China has always been a leading foreign trade industry, and the export ratio before and after 1880 was as high as 60%. Only 1880, its export "earning foreign exchange" is as high as 24 million (silver). This is a huge mouth-watering market, but it is basically in the hands of foreign businessmen. Foreign businessmen who have mastered the buyer's market will determine the "opening price" of China market after deducting their own profits and expenses according to the market situation in London. Subsequently, according to this "opening price", after deducting their own profits and expenses, the secondary or tertiary dealers in the Qing Dynasty exploited them layer by layer and finally reached the hands of silkworm farmers at the end of the industrial chain, and the purchase price was naturally depressed to a very low level. Among them, there are actually three levels of problems: first, "buy cheap and sell expensive" itself is the essence of business, and has nothing to do with the nationality of businessmen. In the raw silk industry, local government-supported cocoon merchants have always been the monopolist of the industry, bullying silkworm farmers for a long time, and the degree of exploitation far exceeds that of foreign businessmen. Second, the circulation link is too cumbersome. A small silkworm feeds a lot of idle people, and some businessmen from raw silk areas are so angry that they squeeze into the beach and join foreign businessmen directly, reducing intermediate links. Of course, the benefits of channel optimization will not go to the pockets of silkworm farmers. Third, the game power of buyers and sellers in the market has changed. Before the opening of Suez Canal and the popularization of steamboats, the international raw silk market was a seller's market, and the price was decided by silk merchants in China (note that sericulture farmers had no right to speak). Even the purchase price of China's origin is much higher than that of London's market, so foreign investors who lose money can only knock out their front teeth and swallow them. When the international shipping conditions are greatly improved, the London market does not need to maintain high inventory, and the market pricing power is transferred to the buyer. It is either ignorance or ulterior motives to blame such a phenomenon, which is mainly caused by market factors, on foreign monopoly and then rise to the height of "ism". For the Qing government, it is a bounden duty to safeguard the interests of agriculture, rural areas and farmers. If this is pushed to enterprises or even foreign-funded enterprises, this board is obviously playing the wrong ass. For a businessman like Hu Xueyan, it is to compete with foreign capital for the dominance or even monopoly of the raw silk market. If you have to resort to touching love for the people and patriotism, it will be a bit unscrupulous. If we don't accept it, Hu Xueyan will be trapped in the banner of loving the people and patriotism. Hu Xueyan used a large amount of money in his bank to snap up raw silk, including 10 million liters of Wang's life money, money from many corrupt officials, and even state-owned funds temporarily stored here. With the support of huge funds, under the escort of Black and White Road (Hu is a loophole in the Green Gang, which is almost equivalent to its underground party member), Hu Xueyan snapped up raw silk very conveniently, and searched almost all the new goods and previous stocks in that year. Foreign businessmen are naturally flustered because they have no goods to receive, so they negotiate with Hu Xueyan through various channels. The foreigner's quotation is very happy: the price increase100,000 taels of silver! At that time, it was a huge sum of money. At that time, the capital ships purchased by beiyang fleet were Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, and each cost only 1.8 million yuan. In other words, "Mr. Hu" can earn more than half of beiyang fleet as long as he changes hands on his goods immediately. What's more, Hu Xueyan's so-called acquisition funds, a large number of which come from borrowing or misappropriating, belong to "wearing other people's shoes and going their own way", and the operating cost is very low. If Hu Xueyan stops at the right time, this business will undoubtedly become an exciting success in the history of Chinese and foreign commercial wars. Judging from the reasons for loving the people and patriotism on Hu's packaging, foreign businessmen can have several choices: first, they can process all these raw silk themselves to "revitalize the national industry" and keep foreigners from getting their hands on it, but they don't seem to have enough production and processing capacity; Moreover, even if all of them are processed into silk or even garments, they will still be digested by the international market. The second is; Sell this batch of raw silk to foreigners at a high price, distribute the money earned from foreign businessmen to silkworm farmers, solve the "three rural issues" in some areas and build a new countryside; Or simply donate all to the country and buy five main warships, which may rewrite the outcome of the Sino-Japanese War in the future. However, in the face of foreign "temptation" and begging, Hu Xueyan did not let go. The reason is not to love the people and patriotism, but to ask them to increase their prices by another 2 million taels. Obviously, foreign businessmen regard this as blackmail, but instead of using their more powerful and effective "government public relations" resources, they forced Hu Xueyan to submit, but chose a stalemate. Until the next year, after a new round of "spring silkworms will weave until they die", Hu Xueyan was finally trapped and died in the huge "cocoon" she knitted: not only was she unable to continue to buy raw silk, but the old silk she had hoarded began to deteriorate and had to be sold at a low price, and the red top businessman who was a smash hit completely fell on the red land she loved deeply. At this time, the foreign businessmen who have been suppressed for a year are holding cash and are warmly welcomed by Chinese businessmen and sericulture farmers. The illusory slogan of nationalism has become a mirage in the face of the interests of the real society. In Levin's famous work Hu Xueyan, a famous saying of President Hu appeared frequently: "A sedan chair lifts people". I don't know whether this is recorded in historical materials or the author's creation, but this win-win interpretation with China characteristics is still talked about by people. The connotation of this sentence is that people in the world are interdependent and grow up with each other. If you flatter others, others will flatter you. It's a pity that many guys who shout the slogan "sedan chair lifts people" actually want to sit in the sedan chair and let others carry him willingly, and at the same time sing out his love for the people and the nation. ...
