Who are the "extremely rich" people in the history of China?
Fan Li Tao Zhugong 1

We all know that Gou Jian is lying on his laurels, but probably we don't know the existence of this strange man. He is the kind of person who has a lot of money and can amass great wealth again after exhausting it.

He adopted the strategy of "people abandon me, people take me, let nature take its course and wait and see", and used market rules to pocket the profits generated by the price difference.

What people don't want is naturally low price, but he buys it like a treasure. He sells what people want at a high price. It can be said that this coincides with the theory of the relationship between supply and demand and price in modern economics.

It is also because he is extremely rich and well-run, and is regarded as the god of wealth.

2. Shen Marusan

Legend has it that Shen Wansan has a cornucopia. Just throw a piece of iron in, and an old man asks if it is his gold. He honestly said no, the old man gave it to him ... Of course, such a legend is sheer nonsense.

The real super-rich never fell from the sky. He got rich through two channels.

One is to open a farmhouse. In modern terms, he is a landlord. He rents land to tenants, shops and houses to others, and can collect rent without working. ...

One is overseas trade. The overseas trade of the Yuan Dynasty was very developed, and the Ming Dynasty after the Yuan Dynasty was equally rich. Through overseas trade, sell local cheap goods to Fanbang at a high price, buy local specialties from Fanbang at a low price and sell them back to the local area ... Once sold, the super-rich will accumulate.

3. Big corrupt official and small Shenyang

It is said that Xiao Shenyang is a corrupt official, and he is also greedy. Jiaqing's property is ten times that of the state treasury. Treasury property is not as much as his personal family's money. ...

His way of getting rich is similar to that of modern corruption. If you have power, you will use your power to seek benefits, sell officials and titles, form alliances for personal gain, and collude with each other to form interest groups. Take all the wealth of the people and the country for yourself. ...

Of course, he didn't end well in the end.
