Features: Old Shanghai was once a trade, finance, and commercial center in East Asia, known as the "Paris of the East." On this grand stage of Old Shanghai, merchants, entrepreneurs, and fortune hunters emerged, each showcasing their talents. Some created wealth for themselves while also contributing to society. Though the glory has faded, the echoes of history remain to this day. The Great World still stands, built by Huang Chujiu; the Peace Hotel remains, once owned by the foreign adventurer Sa. Wangkai Photography, Shaowan Sheng Nianhuo Store, and Jingyi Optical are still adorned with the halo of history. The invisible ripples of history have not disappeared; they continue to flow in archives and in people's memories. The principles of business, though different between the present and the past, share a remarkable similarity. The ideas and success techniques they convey are essential for anyone engaged in various professions. Whether you are a merchant, entrepreneur, or an ordinary reader aspiring to start a business or change your fate, you can gain valuable insights from this book. Considering the joy of reading for the audience, I have adopted a story-based format. I hope the readers will enjoy it.
