He said: He also said that even if I were stripped naked and put in the desert, as long as a caravan passed, I would become a millionaire again!

Born in 1839 to a poor American family, Rockefeller was 22 years old when the American Civil War broke out, and compared to the sad faces of others, Rockefeller was like a clockwork clockwork. He quickly took out large loans, hoarded many wartime supplies, and when all this was done, the war expanded and Rockefeller made a large sum of money.

The war boosted demand for oil, and Rockefeller took aim at this historic opportunity by opening a refinery in Cleveland to transport oil from the western United States to the east.

In the petroleum industry, the exploration and exploitation of oil is called "upstream", and refining and marketing is "downstream". Rockefeller aimed downstream, opening more than 50 refineries in Cleveland when he was only 28 years old.

In order to monopolize the "downstream" industry, Rockefeller found 2 partners and created a new company called Standard Oil Company, and John Rockefeller, as the founder and president of the company, obtained the most equity, and under his management, Standard Stone monopolized more than 80% of the refining and tubing business in the United States. Rockefeller also created a unique era in American history—the monopoly era.

After Rockefeller retired at the age of 57, he set up the "Rockefeller Foundation", dedicated to charity, the rest of his life for 41 years, donated 500 million US dollars, at that time no one could match ~ conversion to now, which is more generous than Ma Yun!

The Rockefeller family also broke the spell of "no rich for three generations" and extended the family wealth for six generations, which is enviable.
