To say that the most successful businessman in history is not necessarily the richest businessman, the richest person in the world may be Shen Wansan of the Ming Dynasty, but he was finally killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, so much money in his life, and finally gave it to others as a wedding dress, even the Qing Dynasty's Hezhen is no exception.
If you want to say that he is a truly successful businessman, it is Lü Buwei of the Qin Dynasty, who was originally a businessman who made money through speculation in the Warring States.
He once saw a wandering prince in a foreign country, this prince did not have any possibility of getting the throne, but in his eyes it was a real treasure, he made an investment, not only to give money, but also to get this prince back to China as a king, more importantly, he gave his favorite concubines to this prince, and gave birth to the first emperor of the world, Qin Shi Huang.
This prince was sent by his father, the King of Qin, to the Zhao Kingdom as a hostage, which was a common tactic in the Warring States period, and sending the child outside was equivalent to being a hostage.
If you rebel yourself, it is to kill the child, very pitiful, the prince's life can be said to be in the hands of foreign countries, the slightest carelessness will be killed.
From this aspect, it can be seen that this prince has no possibility of becoming emperor, because the emperor does not like him and does not know how to send him out.
But Lü Buwei can be said to be very smart, he has done all kinds of business since he was a child, which is the most useless thing in the eyes of others, but from another point of view, Lü Buwei thinks that this Qin Yiren is the best treasure.
After Lü Buwei and this Qin Yiren befriended, not only did he send a lot of things, but also sent a beautiful woman, this beautiful woman was called Zhao Ji, who was the mother of Qin Shi Huang, it is said that the beauty that Lü Buwei gave him at that time was purposeful, maybe this beautiful woman was already pregnant, Lü Buwei may be planning to give his child to Qin Yiren, and then let his child become emperor.
Later, After the death of his father, Qin Shi Huang can be said to have become the emperor, Lü Buwei became the prime minister, because Qin Shi Huang's mother Zhao Ji still had a little affection for Lü Buwei, Lü Buwei gave her a man, this Concubine Yi was very powerful, in terms of bed can be said to be able to endure, so it was given to Zhao Ji, is to avoid her relationship with Zhao Ji exposed, otherwise there is no good end in the Qin Kingdom.
The most important reason why Lü Buwei was able to send his own woman out was that he was a businessman, the businessman was unprofitable, his eyes were interests, and women were just an investment, so he painstakingly did all these means, hoping that he could succeed.
