Hu Xueyan, a businessman with red top.

In today's world, business drives the development of the global economy, and business talents emerge one after another. Everyone is looking forward to jumping into the business sea and hitting thousands of miles. In this process, Hu Xueyan became the best example of their development in the commercial field. I remember reading such a sentence in the book: "Politicians read Zeng Guofan and business read Hu Xueyan." No matter what the real meaning of this sentence is, it shows the lofty position of Hu Xueyan in the eyes of people who enter the business world.

As a man of the hour who dominated China's business circles in the second half of the19th century, Hu Xueyan was born in troubled times, but with the help of powerful people and politicians, he still built hundreds of millions of wealth. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, he helped the poor and supported the Qing government's anti-riot work. After the rise of Westernization Movement, he introduced technology and talents, which promoted the innovation of Westernization Movement and China. Zuo Ping settled the rebellion in the west. He raised money for food and actively supported it. After many twists and turns, he finally changed from a small clerk in a bank to a rich and powerful "red-top businessman".

Today, under the guidance of my teacher, I watched again the explanation of Hu Xueyan's successful legend in the business world in Lecture Room, which reminded me of this red-topped businessman and the God of business. In my opinion, Hu Xueyan's success has three indispensable prerequisites: honesty, filial piety, diligence and research.

Honesty is the basis of doing business. Hu Xueyan, from herding cowboys to apprentices of miscellaneous grains, to the boss of Yinzhuang, and even to the end, has always regarded honesty as the foundation of his life, which is indispensable to his success. From burning fake tiger bone medicine, we can also see Hu Xueyan's way of doing business now, and win the trust of others with practical actions, which is appreciated by everyone. In addition, Hu Xueyan, who has always been charitable, immediately dismissed the second child in charge of purchasing after discovering the fake tiger bone incident, which is a strong man's broken wrist. And let the boss, as the person in charge of purchasing, explain his mistakes in order to achieve the purpose of punishment, so that he can cherish the job opportunities and work wholeheartedly in the city.

Filial piety is China's traditional virtue. Hu Xueyan never forgot his poor parents at any major turning point in his life, which is one of the important reasons why he was appreciated. This increased his chips for success and made him establish a good image in the hearts of the people. Hu Xueyan, a red-top businessman who always cares about his parents and takes not losing face to his parents as his principle.

Diligence and curiosity are the keys to success. Hu Xueyan was born in a poor family. After a major turning point in his life, he was not as content with the status quo as ordinary people. Instead, we regard people around us as close friends, learn with an open mind, make continuous progress, consolidate our knowledge bit by bit in troubled times, and lay a solid foundation for future success.

Finally, the three principles of successful business summarized by Professor Ceng Shiqiang have benefited me all my life. First, keep a peaceful mind and don't complain; The second is to accurately grasp the opportunity, which is a test for us; The third is steady development, and we must not be eager for quick success and instant benefit.
