The difference between businessmen, businessmen and entrepreneurs

Businessmen, in essence, are businessmen, that is, buying and selling things, taking business from the east to the west, dividing the high and low, adjusting the surplus and deficiency, and measuring the distance.

The original intention of an entrepreneur is "the operator or organizer of an adventure". In modern enterprises, entrepreneurs can be roughly divided into two categories. One kind is the entrepreneur, who is still engaged in enterprise management as the owner. The other is a professional entrepreneur hired by the owner. More often, entrepreneurs only refer to the first type, and the second type is called professional managers.
