Features: Chinese people believe that living individuals can still change, and it is inappropriate to judge them. However, the deceased should be judged only after their coffin is closed. But most people only talk about success and ignore failure, giving us only the side of success and failing to provide lessons from failure. Hu Xuyan, a remarkable merchant during the late Qing Dynasty, rose from nothing to become a high-ranking official with a red top hat, experienced extreme prosperity and wealth rivaling the state, and then fell into bankruptcy and the humiliation of losing everything. His case provides a very complete example worth in-depth study. One can take Hu Xuyan as a teacher while also taking him as a warning, offering valuable insights for contemporary Chinese managers on how to develop and preserve their businesses under the unique context of China. This book combines Hu Xuyan's life journey, focusing on the principles of business and management, with detailed research and profound, insightful, and awe-inspiring analysis.
