Although the prosperity of the jstars was not as good as before when he took over, it just gave him a chance to display it. How much property did his ancestors accumulate? That's Qiao Guifa, the first head of the jstars. Besides, his name is the same. He has his own aristocratic temperament and good luck. During the Qianlong period, he had the opportunity to go out to do business. After years of hard work, he accumulated 654.38+ 1 100 million silver assets. Nothing else can guarantee that he is rich in Shanxi.
Dividends were softened, and it can be said that the assets of the jstars reached their peak when Qian Shengqian became a financial tycoon in the Qiao Zhiyong era. At that time, the jstars were considered as financial tycoons. Although there was no concept of finance at that time, the industry they were engaged in was no different from modern finance. After all, most sources of income are directly related to finance. After all, many people believe that money has four legs.
At that time, it can be said that the jstars made money with money, not just by their hands. Take 1984 as an example, the Da Detong Bank of the Qiao family received a dividend of 850 taels. At 1908, it has risen to 17000. Don't forget that there is another great Dehong Bank with the same strength.
Money-making machines are spread all over the country, and their ability to absorb gold is comparable to a cornucopia. At that time, Baotou was an important commercial and financial center, and Qiao's "complex name" was also in its heyday, and it was in the monopoly position of Baotou's business. Perhaps the normal development of most business activities in Baotou relies on the prestige and huge financial support of others, which is a qualitative leap compared with the mess left by his brother before.
When it comes to Qiao Zhiyong, many people will respectfully call him a "bright rich man". The wealth of the Qiao family is well known, not only in Shanxi province, but also in their business scope all over the country. We have to admit that George Yong's way of doing business is inseparable from the original capital accumulation of his ancestors, which provided an extremely reliable guarantee for his later business operation. Of course, Joe's business is not limited to ordinary people, but also includes local big businesses.
Can you believe that the Qing government also wants to borrow money from him? Many institutions in the imperial court are also willing to deposit silver in the major banks of the Qiao family, which greatly improves the convenience of use. At that time, it was difficult for Zuo to visit Liang, the rich man, and called Qiao Zhiyong his eldest brother, which showed that Qiao Zhiyong not only had money, but also had high social status and influence. Just before Zuo left, don't forget to give him 65438+100000 silver. Counting back and forth, there were hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding for the Qing government at that time.
When it comes to the jstars, we have to mention the jstars courtyard, which is still in people's minds. At that time, it was also an influential social symbol of the jstars. Qiao Zhiyong abruptly regarded Shanxi as the financial center of the country at that time. In his later years, Qiao Zhiyong bought a lot of real estate. Qiao Zhiyong ignored the warnings of his ancestors and built the jstars courtyard by hook or by crook. After all, he also has the right to speak, and spending his own money is willful.
The cash flow is stable and healthy, which even the Qing government envies. According to statistics, under the careful management of Qiao Zhiyong, there are as many as 45.2 million account books of the Qiao family, and there are hundreds of banks, banks, pawn shops and grain shops all over the country. Later, at the peak of the Qiao family, the liquidity reached tens of millions and 200 million. To say that the business of the jstars can be said to be spread all over people's lives.
As long as the government is not allowed to intervene, the other businesses of the jstars do. Even if some enterprises are strictly controlled by the government, the jstars enjoy special privileges. There are countless land and real estate in various places, and all kinds of assets are equivalent to 30 million taels of silver. What's more, the value of silver at that time was much higher than the current RMB, with hundreds of millions of RMB.
What was the position of the jstars in the world at that time? Compared with the national strength of the Qing government at that time, the annual tax revenue of the standard Qing government was 654.38+0.52 million silver. Although it was not the richest man in the world at that time, it was more than enough to be the richest man in the world.
