Tao Zhugong is Fan Li, a great statesman, strategist and economist in the Spring and Autumn Period. The great wise man who helped Gou Jian, the king of Yue, destroy Wu in World War I can be called the originator of abandoning politics and going into business in history and a model of creating personal wealth records.
"Historical Records" records that "nineteen years of hard work, three times the payment of gold, and the accumulation of wealth". But he is generous with wealth, and when he makes money, he engages in various public welfare undertakings.
His behavior earned him the reputation of "being as rich as an enemy and doing his best" and became a model of China's commerce for thousands of years. It should be recommended as the top ten richest people in China.
Second, Yidun (Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period)
A meal is unique. He has no background and started from scratch. His time is short, and his accumulated wealth is not inferior to other rich people. At that time, he was as famous as Tao Zhugong, the richest man in China.
Yidun, surnamed Wang, was called Yidun by later generations because he made a fortune in Yidun. Just like Liu Bei's visit to Tao Zhugong in the Three Kingdoms, he finally touched the "God". Tao Zhugong met him and gave him the eight-character secret: "If a child wants to get rich quickly, he must be an animal."
As a result, Yidun became a professional aquaculture household. When he grew up, he began to make and sell salt, and then entered the jewelry industry. Its property is "West Dasan Spring, crossing Yanchi in the east, south to north", and Fiona Fang Baili belongs to it. The vast territory and scope are rare in the world. "Salt and Iron Theory" in the Han Dynasty contains: "Within the fish hole, the birds don't know the height of heaven and earth; The frog of Kanjing doesn't know the size of the river; Whether the poor are women or not, I don't know the concerns of the country; Merchants, I don't know rich ... "

How can I say that he will be poor? " So he gave Deng Tong all the copper mountains near his hometown and allowed him to make coins.
What about Deng Tong? To that hole? Addiction? Really? Dedication? Traces? Liang Langzhong sighed Zheng Xiong? Antlers vendor, huh? Sapporo ship? Send? N yuan ⑿ Xin, are you tired of climbing? Send? Did the disaster really force the emperor to bury him? Hey? Send it there? Evie
Wendi died, Jingdi ascended the throne, deposed Deng Tong, seized Tongshan and confiscated all his property. Deng Tong was once in trouble, penniless, and finally starved to death in the streets.
