Features: The sudden rise and fall of the most famous short-lived dynasty in history, how family-owned businesses start and inherit, and the discovery of the bottleneck law by a humanistic master. Any dynasty or regime in history, around 40-50 years after its establishment or when it passes to the second or third generation, enters a bottleneck period. Qin and Sui are the most famous short-lived dynasties in Chinese history. This book compares and analyzes the two, uncovering their characteristics to warn future generations. The basic style of Qin Ershi and Emperor Yang of Sui can be found in many second-generation successors of family-owned businesses on the decline: excluding old ministers, tyrannical and autocratic, delusional confidence, arbitrary decisions leading to a gradual decline. Currently, we are carrying out modernization, and building families and businesses have become major issues for the whole society. For the general readers, the significance of this book lies in how to cultivate the next generation of successors after starting and building a family, so as to achieve long-term prosperity. Especially under the background that the success rate of family-owned businesses passing to the first generation is only 30%, and the success rate drops to 10% after the second generation, this book has great reading value for business managers and those involved in family-owned businesses. The bottleneck law is a major discovery of Mr. Bei Yang's 40 years of historical research.
