Wu Xiaobo: What Are The Rich Women In The History Of Enterprises?

A history of Chinese enterprises over the past two thousand years is full of obscure businessmen, but if sex is not the case, women are less likely.

In historical records, the earliest and most famous businesswoman is a widow named Qing in Sichuan.

Sima Qian recorded her deeds in very few seventy-six words in the biography of historical records.

The widow's family is engaged in the "Dan cave" industry, that is, the smelting of cinnabar, because it has mastered the unique mining and smelting technology, so it has been handed down for generations.

Widows not only manage their families, but also organize private armed forces to protect their families.

The age of her life was from the end of the Warring States period to the unification of the Qin Dynasty. It was the turbulent world, and the Qin Dynasty advocated nationalization. It was easy for everyone to copy and destroy the family. However, it was clear to the widow.

In this regard, the reason behind the historians' speculation is that Emperor Qin Shihuang built his mausoleum, "with mercury as the river, the sea and the machine, with astronomical and geographical features.

"

The mercury used at that time was mainly extracted from cinnabar. Therefore, the monopoly of the resources of the Dan Sha mine and the widows who possessed the unique skills became indispensable talents.

The most active period of women's business was in the Tang Dynasty. This is not surprising, because even the first female emperor (Wu Zetian) appeared at that time.

At that time, the most famous businesswoman in Luoyang, the second largest commercial city, was named Gao five mother. She was also a widow, who was also engaged in smelting industry (Huang Bai). She was said to be very beautiful, first married to a businessman named surname Gao, and later married Li Xianren.

Because the money has been earning too much, and it has been accused by others.

In the Yangtze River Valley, the most famous businesswoman is Yu Daniang, who lived in the middle of the Tang Dynasty in the age of Zhenyuan (766--805 AD) and engaged in shipbuilding.

At that time, the largest ship could carry eight thousand or nine thousand stones, and the so-called "water does not carry 10000". However, the ship constructed by Yu aunt can reach 10000 stones and is the largest volume.

It is said that ships can grow flowers and fruits and vegetables. There are hundreds of workers driving ships. The crew's life and death can be carried out on ships.

It sails between Jiangxi and Huainan, and can get huge profits every time.

Besides the high five Niang and Yu Niang, who are engaged in the large-scale manufacturing industry, there are many young businessmen in the history books.

According to the records of Taiping Guangji, most of the business pactions they engage in are closely related to people's daily life consumer goods, such as "vegetable sellers' who sell vegetables", "vegetables for daily use", flowers, cosmetics, and restaurants.

In the compilation of the epitaph of the Tang Dynasty, Yang also mentioned that Yang is a master of planting industry. "Managing property will be a law for Tao Gong, and it will not be afraid of floods and droughts."

The wind of women's business has been continuous since the Han and Tang Dynasties. According to the textual research of Hou Jiaju, author of "Chinese economic history", in the Northern Song Dynasty, women also worked in tea shops, food shops, and drug shops, and sold hawkers, selling hexagram and teeth.

"But in the Southern Song Dynasty of twelfth Century, the atmosphere finally changed.

At that time there was a ritual movement, which greatly increased the restrictions on women. The famous "starving to death is a small thing and a great loss" is the result of Cheng Yichuan, a Confucian master. Since then, women have been locked up in the mansion and no longer have anything to do in the market.

After the song and Yuan Dynasties, the two heroes of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as widow Ching, Gao five Niang and Yu Tai Niang, became heroine.

However, in the late Qing Dynasty in the early nineteenth Century, a Zheng Yisao appeared in the south. She was engaged in a very dangerous piracy industry. In the history of western enterprises, pirates were regarded as the most primitive and contract spirit entrepreneurs.

Zheng Yisao was originally named Shi Xianggu, her dark skin but beautiful nature. She was a prostitute in a sea boat when she was a girl, and later married to the famous pirate of the South China Sea, Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi formed a piracy alliance in the coastal areas of Guangdong - the red flag gang.

Zheng Yisao helped her husband to help him. She was said to have been practicing martial arts, and she had many talents and talents.

Later, Zheng Yi drowned in a sea grab at a Sea wreck. His son Zhang Baozai took the red flag.

The man is twenty-one years old and is eleven years younger than Zheng's sister-in-law. The two people are the husband and wife, who are in charge of the help.

From the current perspective, this should be regarded as a "siblings".

During the heyday, the red flag was divided into five flags: black, white, yellow, blue and blue, with more than 800 ships and more than 1000 small boats. As many as one hundred thousand people were stolen, according to British scholar Kang Stan's history of piracy, the scale of the red flag was the first in the world at that time, which was much more famous than the Vikings.

The red flag is used to rescue official ships, grain ships and ocean vessels. It is active in the east coast of the Guangdong Province and the Pearl River Delta. Its base is in Hongkong. Its "handsome camp" is located on Lantau Island, Sai Ying Pun under Tai Ping Shan and Dongying plate in Tongluowan.

The red flag helps to collect insurance (protection) fees from merchants and salt rice boats. The names are "number tax", "port regulation" and "foreign tax". "Merchant shipping is tax paid by foreign merchants for four hundred yuan, and it is a robbery".

Because of the clarity of the provisions, tens of thousands of Pirates lived in a regulated and illegal life. The red flag Gang is an orderly managed Pirate Group.

Zheng Yisao and Zhang Bao Tsai's influence was so great that they brought numerous encirclement and suppression of the imperial court.

In 1808, at the cost of eighty-two thousand silver, the Qing army invited the British and Portuguese navy to launch a general attack on the red flag gang. Zhang Bao Tsai was forced to accept "inviting security". The official was from the total of two products, the deputy commander of Penghu and Mrs. Zheng Yisao.

In 1822, Zhang died on his job at the age of thirty-six. Zheng Yisao settled in Macao and opened casinos for days. If she looked from the source, she was one of the founding fathers of Macao gambling industry.

Zheng Yisao has accumulated a lot of money in his life but has no record of inheritance. So far, there are still many stories about Zhang Bao Tsai and Zheng Yisao in the area of Hongkong. There are five Cheung Chau Tsai Tsai Po holes in Hongkong, which are located in Cheung Chau, Lamma Island, Chek Chau, Jiao chair and Taiwan Island.
