Joe Zhiyong
Yu Qiuyu, a famous literary scholar on the mainland, wrote about such a group of people in the article "Embracing Shanxi" in "Cultural Journey". They struggled hard, left home at a young age, returned for several years, and wore stars and moons just to change a rich family.
They are lenient and benevolent, and the accounts they have lent out cannot be recovered, and they will never be deliberately embarrassed again.
There are one or two people who are still at the end of the road and can't get money, sincerely admit their mistakes, explain the situation, and they can laugh it off.
They are also naïve, and in order to show the endless opposition to the mall, some people even name their grandsons as rivals.
They stepped through the mountains and rivers of thousands of miles, promoted the north-south exchange of goods, brocade, silk, fragrant tea and other specialties, and left their homeland with the footsteps of such a group of people to cash in their economic value in distant places.
These people are the Jin merchants in history. People who enrich the history of commercial development with Chinese characteristics with footsteps and lives are the absolute protagonists in the article "Shame on Shanxi".
In "Qiao Family Compound", Qiao Zhiyong played Chen Jianbin
"Bright rich man" Qiao Zhiyong is one of them. Bright words, take the meaning of high wind and bright festival.
This businessman who went from his career to the mall, with the business philosophy of re-trusting and righteous, rigorous and fair family style, and keen and sharp business vision, is still active in different business philosophy classes.
Qiao Zhiyong had studied before, but had to abandon Confucianism and engage in business because of the death of his brother.
Since he took over the Qiao family, the Qiao family's business has become increasingly prosperous, and eventually it has become the most powerful, the most consecutive and the most powerful commercial organization at that time.
Qiao's industry has formed a huge business network across the country, penetrating into all walks of life.
The prosperity of the Qiao family at the hands of Qiao Zhiyong can be seen from Cixi's experience of traveling west.
Joe's compound
At that time, Cixi "borrowed silver" from the rich people in Shanxi, and all the rich households were stingy with their family wealth and refused to agree, while the treasurer of a branch of the Qiao family did not report the situation of Qiao Zhiyong and should borrow 100,000 taels of silver in one breath.
A small treasurer who did this master without knowing the master's family was enough to show how strong the Qiao family's strength was at that time.
Later, the economy withered, but Qiao Zhiyong began to spend a lot of money to repair the ancestral house, until finally built into what is now known as "a pearl of northern residential architecture in the Qing Dynasty" - the Qiao family compound.
With a construction area of 4,175 square meters, 313 houses, and more than 5,000 cultural relics on display, its exquisite design and fine craftsmanship have considerable ornamental and historical value. Architectural history is known as "the royal palace has the Forbidden City, the people's houses look at the Qiao family".
But it is lamentable that the world is changeable, Mr. Qiao has six sons, but none of them have his integrity and talent, which is a pity.
Chen Jianbin, the actor of Qiao Zhiyong in "Qiao Family Compound"
The eldest son, Qiao Dai, has a fair temperament and insufficient benevolence.
Qiao Dai was originally the eldest son of Qiao Zhiyong, but because Qiao Zhiyong's brother had no children under his knees, Qiao Zhiyong passed On Qiao Dai to his brother's family.
After all, it is the descendants of the Qiao family, and the Qiao family industry has flourished because of Qiao Zhiyong's business, so Qiao Dai naturally began to take over the affairs of the family business field after he grew up.
Unfortunately, as the eldest son, he did not fully inherit Qiao Zhiyong's talent in the mall. There are many different theories about his personality, and overall, Qiao Dai is a person with a lot of emotional intelligence.
Perhaps due to nature, perhaps because of the growth environment, Qiao Dai can obviously understand the communication between people in the business field, and he can also feel the personal exchanges and interest doorways.
Sometimes, the business is smooth, perhaps the collaborators are at ease, Qiao Dai left people with the feeling that long sleeves are good at dancing, a spring breeze, treating people and things perfectly and thoughtfully, it seems that there is no big problem for the Qiao family to hand him over.
But sometimes, when the year is unfavorable or the profit is too low, Grand Duke Qiao leaves the impression of being self-absorbed and moody.
However, the shopping mall pays attention to a "harmonious wealth" and pays attention to a "room left", and over time, Qiao Dai's business method is not welcomed by the market.
Irritability is just that, but Qiao Dai is still greedy and insufficient, and he is too self-sufficient.
There was even such a thing, Qiao Dai business for a long time inevitably some arrogance, borrowing the Qiao family shareholder wind and clouds, may feel that they have a unique vision in business, betting accurately.
He valued some business outside his mouth, but it did not go well at that time, so he changed his father's gentle and generous ways of doing things and seized a large share of the business by using the power of his family.
Qiao's family is powerful, and peers can only secretly hate Qiao Dai's poisonous means, but there is no way for a while and a half.
Later, the more and more convenient the means of such forced occupation, the more market share was grabbed by Qiao Dai, and the peers began to sit still.
It is not an official project like salt and iron, you Qiao Dai alone occupied everyone's cake, completely formed a monopoly, and cut off the financial road of peers, then of course, some people look at you unfavorably.
In the end, Qiao Dai was accused of "bullying and dominating the market, making friends with officials, hoarding and disturbing people's livelihood".
After that, he was killed by his peers and died young. One said that he was imprisoned at home by his elders because of his negligence. The two statements are inconsistent, and there is no conclusion.
But what is certain is that Qiao Dai did not have a good death.
He must have inherited part of Qiao Zhiyong's wisdom of treating people and things, and may have later become arrogant and arrogant, overwhelmed, and lost his nature in the exchange of money.
The second son, Qiao Jingyi, Brother Xiao is not Father Xiao.
The rich and wealthy always have luxury comforts that ordinary families can't enjoy. Like the four major families in the dream of the Red Chamber, the food furnishings and buildings are all exquisite.
But the rich and powerful also need to bear the survival risk of ordinary people several times.
Tens of millions of family fortunes are placed there, and they will always blink their eyes. Sometimes it is robbers, and some are shopping mall peers.
Qiao Jingyi's human life is filled in the survival risk of this businessman.
Qiao Jingyi was irritable and irritable, and although Qiao Dai became arrogant in the later stages of running a business, he was able to make friends and treat people and things properly at the beginning.
But Qiao Jingyi did not show the slightest emotional control ability in the mall from beginning to end.
He looked at no one unconvinced, and no one looked good.
Qiao Zhiyong himself personally evaluated his second son, Qiao Jingyi, saying that he had a violent personality and was difficult to strategize.
Which of Qiao Jingyi's behaviors made Qiao Zhiyong make such a comment cannot be verified, but Qiao Zhiyong, a person with the name of "Confucian businessman", has such a fierce evaluation of his own son, which is enough to imagine that Qiao Jingyi's personality is not suitable for the mall.
Qiao Jingyi's personality, if he is a descendant of an ordinary family, at most he has a bad temper, as long as he can work in agriculture with peace of mind, or have a craft to lean over, he can also live this life.
If Qiao Dai can stand in the doorway and manage the family business, he can also be a rich prince for the rest of his family life. Unfortunately, he was born in Joe's house. It is even more regrettable that Qiao Dai failed to shoulder the burden of the family.
In the end, Qiao Jingyi offended the powerful because of such a personality and was assassinated by someone designed.
In his life, like his brother is better than like his father, the eldest brother can still inherit some of his father's emotional intelligence, but Qiao Jingyi is almost not like Qiao Zhiyong.
Mr. Qiao is in the mall, and he is extremely helpless in the face of such two sons.
The third son, Qiao Jingyu, has different talents in the same fate and luck.
The Qiao family has always had a tradition that the descendants of the same generation have their own division of labor.
Qiao Zhiyong's generation was originally his brother from business to business, and Qiao Zhiyong took the road of the examination of the imperial examination, but the sky did not go according to people's wishes, the brother of the Qiao family died early, and Qiao Zhiyong was forced to take over the family's business and abandon Confucianism to engage in business.
The third son, Qiao Jingyu, walked very similarly to Qiao Zhiyong in those years, and should have been studying steadily to enter the examination, but unfortunately, the first two brothers died early due to personality reasons, and had no choice but to bear the burden of the family.
Qiao Jingjian has no outstanding business talent, and he does not have the outstanding investment vision of his father who vigorously developed the ticket number, and his personality, to put it to the point, is to be cautious and cautious, and to be prudent.
To put it too much, it is hesitation and cowardice and indecision in the mall.
There are pros and cons to such a personality.
After Qiao Jingyu accepted the family business, the Qiao family's property was always slow but steady development, and Qiao Jingyu himself was able to enjoy the life of an ordinary person, and was the only one who died naturally after Qiao Zhiyong's death.
The disadvantage is that due to his lack of decisiveness, the Qiao family missed many excellent business opportunities, and the industry was far less rapid than when Qiao Zhiyong operated.
Even Qiao Zhiyong himself may also know the personality shortcomings of Qiao Jingyu, so he understands the wisdom of the third elder, so the internal affairs arranged for Qiao Jingjun are more than the external business.
However, what Qiao Jingyu deserves to know and remember is not his way of doing business.
He may not have inherited his father's talents, but he absolutely inherited Qiao Zhiyong's benevolence and tolerance, and even developed such a kind personality and behavior in a certain sense, which is quite in line with the expectations of the ancestors of the Qiao family for future generations.
The Qiao family ancestors advocated strict self-discipline and leniency toward others, and there were many prohibitions that must be observed.
One is not allowed to take concubines, the second is not allowed to abuse servants, the third is not allowed to prostitute, the fourth is not allowed to take drugs, the fifth is not allowed to gamble, and the sixth is not allowed to drink alcohol.
Joe's business training
In addition, the ancestors of the Qiao family also taught future generations to treat slaves well and care for the poor, not to be unkind to the rich, not to be strict with the family style...
Qiao Jingyu can be described as a perfect development of the Qiao family's benevolent style.
After he accepted the Qiao family, he donated many times to run schools and promote local basic education, and this initiative developed into the future, so that many girls could also enroll in school, which greatly enriched the cultural literacy of the clan.
In addition, Qiao Jingyu often bought medicine for poor people who looked down on the sick, and then did not take anything, only out of a compassionate heart, with his own strength to improve their living conditions.
Qiao Jingyu is not an outstanding competitor in the business field, but he is a true benevolent person and an excellent descendant who is worthy of the Qiao family's family training.
The fourth son, Qiao Jingkan, was short-lived.
For Qiao Jingkan, the word "short-lived" is the most suitable for him.
Because he only lived for a dozen years, he died before he was 20 years old.
The Qiao family is a big business, and a person must not be able to hold on, so although Qiao Jingkan died early, he was also in contact with business before he died, but unfortunately his performance was not good.
In the business field, ushering in and bargaining, there is absolutely a tongue that can speak the truth.
Businessman, you have to coordinate merchants, introduce goods, open sales channels, find markets... If you can't express these things, how can you get customers to patronize?
Qiao Jingkan is naturally not good at words, introverted, and usually talks less, let alone deal with the treacherous shopping mall.
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and although there is no blade between words and words, it is the same as a battle of power and interests. Qiao Jingkan couldn't handle these problems in the business field at all, but before he could grow up to prove himself, the accident came.
Qiao Jingkan left before the weak crown, and For such an accident, Mr. Qiao was also helpless and sad.
The fifth son, Qiao Jingwei, devoted himself to reading only the books of the sages.
Qiao Zhiyong was born in the late Qing Dynasty, and his life went through several dynasties of Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Daoguang, and Guangxu.
In China at that time, political corruption, economic backwardness, and culture were also impacted and influenced by foreign ideas.
The Qiao family's business is prosperous, and it is easier to access these different voices and ideas, so the fifth son, Qiao Jingwei, has known since he was a child that there are different voices in the culture of the world.
In addition, there is no reverence for the ocean, Qiao Jingwei also made great efforts in dealing with the subset of traditional culture and history, and he is one of the most diligent children of Qiao Zhiyong's six sons.
Before coming into contact with foreign cultures, he was also obsessed with reading only the books of the sages, but after learning about foreign cultures, his curiosity and thirst for knowledge became wider. He is a natural reading embryo.
The first four sons, even if they are grumpy, even if they are naturally cautious and timid, even if they are not good at words, they are still willing to try to accept the family business, but the fifth son, Qiao Jingwei, is an exception.
Qiao's family is powerful, even if each child can get a part of a different business, but in the end it still needs to be fought for and worked hard, but Qiao Jingwei said from the beginning that he did not want to take over the business, only wanted to study.
If he is not here, Qiao Zhiyong can only follow him.
Family tree (partial)
Later, Qiao Jingwei successfully stayed overseas, and formed a new family style in his vein.
According to research, many of Qiao Jingwei and his descendants are keen to study and study, and later many people have stayed overseas, and many people have obtained doctoral degrees at home and abroad.
The Qiao family prospered because of business, but then business gradually declined.
On the contrary, qiao Jingwei's vein, from the beginning of Qiao Jingwei's hard work in reading and studying, compared with Qiao Jingwei and his brothers at that time, and then compared with the later descendants of the Qiao family, it is really difficult to say whether Qiao Jingwei's choice of this line is right or wrong.
Joe to Yong Mo Bao
The youngest son, Qiao Jingyuan, was born weak and especially self-injurious.
The youngest son can always get more spoils, not to mention, the little young master of the Qiao family is still a young son who was born weak and sickly.
Qiao Zhiyong's favorite is this young son, so he gave him as much love and attention as possible, but alas, Qiao Jingyong is the most unappreservable of the six sons.
As mentioned above, the Qiao family is rigorous and pays great attention to the conduct of the younger generations in the family, so even if Qiao Dai Qiao Jingyi is grumpy and greedy in the mall, she has not been contaminated with gambling and drugs.
Qiao Jingyan was kind all his life, Qiao Jingkan died early and did not go out of the ordinary, Qiao Jingkai was even more dedicated to studying, but only Qiao Jingqian, who was loved by thousands of people, smoked drugs.
Maybe it is that there are too many pets in the family that make him unrestrained, or perhaps Qiao Zhiyong has a child education and indulgence in his later years, qiao Jingyuan is a little prince who was born insufficient and should have been born to raise, and he was infected with drug addiction at a young age.
Qiao Jingxian's drug addiction has not yet affected his family, he was born insufficient, and after becoming addicted to drugs, he returned to the west early, leaving his father Qiao Yong with infinite grief.
Two years after Qiao Jingyuan's death, Qiao Zhiyong also left, and such a generation of Jinshang representatives who witnessed the stormy meeting in China's modern history and could respond to everything in the shopping mall drove to the west of the crane.
The fall and early death of his younger son was the last blow to him, and before that, the successive early deaths of several sons also affected his health.
I don't know if Qiao Zhiyong was thinking about the successor he had cultivated and looking at the qiao family's great family business, did he feel that no one was entrusted?
Or as a father, will you regret that you are so focused on business that you neglected the attention and teaching of your children?
Everything is speculation, posterity can not know, for Qiao Zhiyong and his six sons' views, can only be seen in opinion.
Qiao Yingxia, the opportunity is destined to be paid.
Qiao Yingxia, this is already Qiao Zhiyong's grandson, the reason why he is mentioned is because the Qiao family still needs a successor, the cause of a generation of Confucian businessmen can never be a one-time failure, there is always someone who can hold up the court and continue to open up the future.
Qiao Yingxia
Qiao Yingxia was originally the son of Qiao Jingyi, because Qiao Dai had no children, so he passed on to Qiao Dai, and since then, he has become the eldest son of the Qiao family's longhouse, and later Qiao Zhiyong found that he was shrewd and strong, neat and decisive, so he also cultivated him as a successor.
Qiao Yingxia participated in the revolution of the new era, vigorously promoted the shaving and changing clothes activities, actively promoted new ideas and new trends, and the brothers all operated independently, which greatly made the Qiao family's career have further developed.
However, because he forcibly eradicated the cultivation of poppies in the countryside, he harmed the interests of the peasants at that time, was forced to stay away from his hometown, and in his later years he was insane and died of illness.
Since then, the Qiao family has gradually disintegrated and declined.
The Hao clan is no more, and the legacy still exists.
The former Qiao family has long lost the glory of the day, but the Qiao family's family training and legacy still exist. Many of Qiao's descendants have earned high degrees and are now working in Beijing.
There is also another part of the Qiao family's ancestral home, which contributes to the hometown every year, which is very in line with the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping's development of "xiangxian" in recent years.
The most commendable thing is that the Qiao family left the Qiao family compound.
As a representative of northern garden architecture, QiaoJia Compound, with its well-preserved house quality and complete housing structure, has left valuable materials for the study of the history of Chinese garden architecture, providing strong evidence for us to explore the folk customs of the past.
