How powerful is traditional business?

In ancient financial circles, Shanxi merchants, Huizhou merchants, Zhejiang merchants and Guangdong merchants were the most powerful. They are mainly engaged in salt industry and banks. Salt is a necessity of life, and the business of banks is enough to make them extremely rich, so Shanxi businessmen are the most powerful and business-minded.

First, Shanxi businessmen are very business-minded. They are modern Shanxi businessmen who use banks to make money. Shanxi merchants do well in salt industry and banks, among which banks have the best business. The bank number is a modern bank. The banking business operated by Shanxi merchants could realize remote access at that time, and it could also prevent people from parading around the city with heavy gold and silver treasures, causing thieves to rob. At that time, they could only exchange money at the bank by draft. Smart Shanxi merchants rely on the money deposited by their guests to make high loans and collect profits. This was an avant-garde concept at that time, so they were very business-minded.

Second, Shanxi merchants are representatives of the north, and the other three groups are businessmen from the south. Shanxi merchants have a very long history. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was such a group of people who made a living by setting up stalls at noon. They are very good at making money with money. Later, with the gradual development, Shanxi merchants began to expand their fields and established many commercial towns, so that many people could go into business together to get rich. In ancient times, there were many things that Shanxi merchants helped the army fight, just like the sponsors now.

In fact, the four major business groups in ancient financial circles are different, and there is no comparability in themselves. However, if we have to say that one of them is the most powerful, that is, honest and honest Shanxi businessmen. They are very practical in doing business and have all kinds of businesses, and they are increasingly overwhelming the world of Shanxi businessmen. Their business acumen and business means have always supported them to dominate the north, which is unmatched by the other three big business groups.
