Features: The Zhejiang merchants, the "merchant guild" in the history of China? The Zhejiang merchants, the most popular wealth tribe in China? The Zhejiang merchants, the "laggards" of the new economy? The Zhejiang merchants, the grassroots version of an MBA? The Zhejiang merchants, their "unconventional" success, achievements that MBA theory cannot explain. In the early 1990s, the Zhejiang merchants, known for their motto of "daring to be the first in the world and forever striving to be the strongest in the world," started by selling goods and doing manual labor, venturing everywhere, occupying the areas that locals looked down upon. They quietly grew rich. From the east to the middle and the west, the sweat of the Zhejiang people has been poured onto every corner of the land of China; from Europe to Africa, and even in the war-torn Middle East, the active presence of the Zhejiang merchants can be seen everywhere. The Zhejiang merchants have inevitably become the "Chinese merchant guild." They are hailed by the Taiwanese business community as "a wolf from the mainland" and referred to by the West as "the Jews of China." This book is a study of the most dynamic and the most profitable group in China today, sharing the most valuable and easily imitated wealth-building experiences that the Chinese can learn from.
