When working, he works hard and treats people well, which has accumulated countless connections for him.

With the establishment of Hu Xueyan's bank, he also began to marry wives and take concubines. It is rumored that Mr. Hu Xueyan’s pursuit of himself is to pursue life, not fame and fortune. Therefore, Hu Xueyan married many beauties.

What is your evaluation of Hu Xueyan, a red-top businessman?

When we think of "red-top businessman", we all think of Hu Xueyan. This should be the highest praise for Hu Xueyan.

Hu Xueyan was a famous businessman in the late Qing Dynasty. He was also an official and businessman. When he was doing business, he was a self-made "good guy like Hu". He built banks and opened pharmacies, was honest with others, and cared about the poor. Being patriotic and having advanced scientific ideas while serving as an official will help the left become a technological power.

It can also be said that Hu Xueyan is a generation of officials and businessmen with outstanding achievements. Specifically, Hu Xueyan has made great achievements in business. Because Hu Xueyan started from scratch, and with the help of his friends, he was able to start from a bank and create brilliance step by step. In addition, he also opened a pharmacy, helped people, and had a stable residence in turbulent times. In addition, in the officialdom, Hu Xueyan was named a second-class civil servant, wearing a red coral headdress and a yellow mandarin jacket, which was rare in history.

I think Hu Xueyan’s evaluation should be as follows: First of all, his success is inevitable because it is due to his character; his failure is certain, which is also the reason for his character. Hu Xueyan is forthright and bold, and writes about benevolence and righteousness. Honesty is good. It can be said that he can give full play to his character advantages and create more opportunities and conditions when doing business. But when he was an official, due to his personality, he could not integrate well into the officialdom. As a result, his way of doing things could not be restrained and low-key in the officialdom, and he eventually became a political victim.

So in the final analysis, we need to stick to our true intentions in everything we do, and we must be honest when doing business and being honest as an official.
