Who is this sentence and a penny of Huizhou merchants in the first town of Jinxiu Jiangnan?

"A Journey to the West with Filial Piety and Splendid Jiangnan No.1 Township" is a penny written by Qianlong to the famous Bao family in Shexian County, Huizhou. There is a saying in the WeChat business.

During the Qianlong period, there was a young wizard named Bao Zhidao, Cheng Yi and Ken Yuan. He studied since childhood, and according to his father's intention, he will take the imperial examination in the future and take the road of being an official. However, although my father is a businessman, he is not good at accumulating wealth and his family is not well off. So at the age of 1 1, Zhidao interrupted his studies and embarked on the road of business.

Because of his poor family, he went out penniless. Mother took out the swaddling clothes from the bottom of the box, took off the "Kangxi Bao Tong" copper coin embedded in the tiger hat, put it on the straight road and told him, "Son, this is the only copper coin left in our family. I gave it to you today, and the prosperity of our family depends on you! " With tears in his eyes, Zhidao carefully put this penny in the pocket of his underwear interlayer and made up his mind never to let his mother down. He thought that his mother was in poor health and his brother was studying, and he felt a heavy burden. ...

Zhidao almost begged all the way to Poyang, Jiangxi, and the hard work on the road is self-evident. After arriving in Poyang, I studied accounting and helped people to work. After studying accounting, he also saved a little money. He left Poyang and came to Jinhua, Zhejiang. In Jinhua, he started some small businesses with the money he had accumulated. In order to find a better market, he moved from Jinhua to Yangzhou, and from Yangzhou to Hubei, constantly rushing around, but never found a foothold.

At the age of 20, Zhidao came to Yangzhou again. After ten years of shopping, he gradually matured. Yangzhou has been prosperous since ancient times. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large number of wealthy businessmen gathered, of which Huizhou people accounted for more than half. The prosperity of Yangzhou makes his ambition dizzying, and he is determined to make great achievements here.

It's his turn, too At this time, a large salt merchant in Shexian urgently needs to recruit a manager who is hardworking and good at accounting. Bao Zhidao, an accounting major, seized the opportunity to apply. However, the big salt merchant came up with an unexpected test in the recruitment. On the first day, after the interview, the big salt merchant ordered the waiter to give each candidate a bowl of wonton as a reward. After eating, the big salt merchant asked you to go back and prepare for the next day's exam. Who knows, the next day, the salt merchants asked these questions again: Please answer how many wonton did you eat yesterday? How many kinds of fillers are there? How many kinds of fillings are there? Candidates were dumbfounded by such bizarre questions, some shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and some regretted it. However, Bao Zhidao predicted the unusual bowl of wonton yesterday based on his ten years of business experience, so he made a careful observation. It is natural to deal with these problems at this time. Needless to say, he was hired.

After employment, I often deal with experts in shopping malls. Because he is willing to endure hardships and study, his professional quality has improved rapidly. With superman's management ability, the business of salt merchants has greatly improved, and he himself has also received rich returns.

After several years of accumulation, I knew that I had a certain economic foundation, so I resigned as a manager and decided to start my own business. He aimed at the management of salt industry, because, on the one hand, salt industry was the leading industry in Yangzhou, and the salt field where Yangzhou was located was the largest salt field in China at that time; On the other hand, the operating profit of salt industry is relatively large. During his career as a manager in recent years, he became familiar with the market, made many friends from all walks of life and established a personal interpersonal network. These made his career successful quickly and his family fortune was extremely heavy. Moreover, his fame in the industry is increasing day by day because of his shrewdness, fairness and enthusiasm for public welfare.

Just at this time, in order to strengthen the control of salt merchants, the Qing government set up a general salt merchant in a place where salt merchants were concentrated. Bao Zhidao was well-deserved to be elected as the chief commercial officer. But the role of ordinary businesses is not good. On the one hand, in the eyes of the government, salt merchants are fat sheep rich in oil and always try their best to search for them. Therefore, ordinary businessmen should negotiate and trade with the government on behalf of the interests of all salt merchants. On the other hand, he should constantly solve the contradiction between salt merchants and reflect the wishes and demands of all merchants to the government. In a word, general business is between the government and salt merchants, and neither party can offend them. It is difficult to do it without smart and capable ability. As the chief businessman, Bao Zhidao is decisive and fair, and is deeply supported by many salt merchants and appreciated by the government. So he stayed in the position of chief businessman for 20 years, and his reputation was prominent.
