How did Hu Xueyan spend his life and how much money did he have?

Hu Xueyan was a legend in China in the late Qing Dynasty. Hu Xueyan described in this book is not studied as a historical figure. Hu Xueyan was born in poverty, but he made a fortune quickly in just over ten years and became the richest businessman in China at that time. However, Hu Xueyan, who was extremely rich, lost everything in just three years and died of depression at the age of 62. One hundred years later, why do people still remember Hu Xueyan? Because the Hu Qingyu Hall he founded is still there, because the big house he built is still there, and because of his legendary life, it has left us a lot of thoughts. Hu Xueyan's life, why so ups and downs? What are his successful experiences and lessons of failure? From Dafu to Jinhua, Hu Xueyan firmly grasped the first opportunity in his life, and his performance was almost perfect. However, if Hu Xueyan has been working in miscellaneous grains, what can he achieve? Therefore, we must be clear that the opportunity is continuous, but it also requires us not to make any mistakes every time, otherwise everything we have done before may be wasted. Needless to say, Hu Xueyan's diligence in Dafu Grains is meticulous; Do what the boss didn't tell you, and do what you can. Many young people are not like this now. They always look at how much money the boss gives them first, and then do a lot of work. Such people will not make any progress. Hu Xueyan has no such idea at all, because he knows that the boss's attitude is his business, but the opportunity is rare for him. Now that he has come out, he should be eager to learn, learning all his own. The more Hu Xueyan wants to do this, the more Boss Jiang likes and values him. Time flies, and Hu Xueyan will be fifteen years old in the blink of an eye. This year, a merchant from Jinhua came to the miscellaneous grains store to talk about business, and fell ill just after arriving in Dafu. Speaking of Jinhua, we will think of Jinhua ham. Yes, this merchant is the owner of a Jinhua ham shop. He has no friends in Dafu, no one to take care of him, and he is worried that he can't return to Jinhua with his illness. Hu Xueyan is kind-hearted and warm-hearted. Knowing this, he rushed to his bedside and took good care of him. Under the careful care of Hu Xueyan, it didn't take long for the businessmen to recover. The businessman was very moved, so he asked the boss Jiang of Miscellaneous Grains Company how he got such a good apprentice. Boss Jiang told him about the recovery of his luggage and Hu Xueyan's performance in the store. The shopkeeper of Jinhua Ham Shop sighed greatly and asked Hu Xueyan, "Our place is much more fun than Dafu. How about you come to Jinhua with me? " Hu Xueyan still had the same attitude: "It won't work. Ask our boss. I can only promise you if the boss agrees. If the boss needs me here, although I want to go, I can't go with you. " How well Hu Xueyan speaks! Hu Xueyan told Boss Jiang the meaning of Jinhua shopkeeper, and Boss Jiang readily agreed, because Jinhua ham line is much bigger than his own miscellaneous grains line, which is also a greater opportunity for Hu Xueyan. A good boss will not be unhappy when he sees that his partner has a better future. After all, he trained talents. So Hu Xueyan came to Jinhua from Dafu. Many things, even the smallest differences, may leave a bad impression on people, may miss opportunities, and may turn good things into bad things. Hu Xueyan does everything perfectly, which is not easy for a teenager. We should be able to see what life is here. Life is about constant and reasonable adjustment in stages. Cows at home, like a cowherd, should take good care of them; When you are an apprentice outside, you should be like an apprentice and satisfy your boss. Even if someone asks a question, how to answer it is not wrong at all. If Hu Xueyan is lazy in the miscellaneous grains line, even if he takes care of the shopkeeper of Jinhua Ham Line, the shopkeeper will not take the initiative to ask him, but just give him some money to thank him. Therefore, a person doing things well is not only good for others, but also good for himself. Hu Xueyan is diligent and studious, and does all the rough work and fine work. Even if he is alive now, he is the person that every boss wants. Hu Xueyan's Enlightenment ⅴ Life is to make reasonable adjustments in stages. We also have a proverb, "Dont Ask For Help is arrogant". When a person asks for help, he always feels much shorter. When Hu Xueyan becomes Dont Ask For Help, people will ask him in turn, will you come with me? This is completely different. By who? On his own! Therefore, no matter where you go, everyone should be fully responsible for themselves, and you can't always complain. Confucius said, don't complain, that's the truth. What's the use of complaining? Reflect on yourself, change yourself and adjust yourself. This is the right way! Enlightenment from Hu Xueyan ⅴ People should take full responsibility for themselves wherever they go. The same is true of Hu Xueyan in Jinhua, who listens to everything and learns everything. Because Jinhua Ham Store is relatively large and has business dealings with many banks in Hangzhou, Hu Xueyan finally got a chance to see with his own eyes what will affect his life in the future-the silver ticket. Why is Hu Xueyan so interested in silver tickets? We believe that the poorer the family, the more important the value of money. Hu Xueyan thought, I used to think that the money was given by the government, and people couldn't vote for it. Now I know that rich people can open their own banks and write as much money as they want. Isn't this better than the government? In the future, I want to open a money bank and be a money bank owner, so I can use money without restriction. How nice it would be! Hu Xueyan would think so, in fact, this is human nature. Since then, Hu Xueyan has forged an indissoluble bond with the bank all his life. Hu Xueyan spent most of his life in banking, that is, opening a bank. We all know that people who run banks are rich. Because it is easier to make money with money than with manpower. So Hu Xueyan made up his mind that I must go to the bank as an apprentice. With this idea, the average person may simply ask: Do you need apprentices there? Can I go now? But although Hu Xueyan had this plan in mind, he didn't speak, which was a big place for him. Because when you ask, you ask for help. If the other party disagrees, it will be embarrassing and offend the original boss. We often see one side and hurt the other because of the lack of such a balanced thought. Hu Xueyan always asks people who come to the bank to collect accounts: Are there any apprentices in your bank? What do they study? What do you do? He only asked these questions, but kept silent about where he wanted to go. Hu Xueyan is even more remarkable-when he learned that the apprentice of the bank can calculate money quickly, play abacus well and write beautifully, he immediately began to secretly practice calligraphy and abacus mental arithmetic every day. Because of your heart, of course, you have made rapid progress. Hu Xueyan is very calculating. When checking the accounts with the people in the bank, he doesn't need an abacus, but relies on mental arithmetic to reimburse him, which is fast and accurate. People in the bank naturally noticed him quickly and praised the child. How can it be so fast? At this time, he picked up the abacus and patted it. Come on! In this way, people in the bank will be more impressed with him. People in the bank can't help talking to the shopkeeper in Hu Xueyan when they see that Hu Xueyan is diligent and studious. The shopkeeper told me that in the past, businessmen felt that Hu Xueyan was not only diligent and studious, but also honest and trustworthy, so they immediately said: We need such people in our bank. Will you give him to me? In this way, Hu Xueyan got another good opportunity. In addition to grasping opportunities, it is more important for a person to create opportunities by himself and let the other person know what you are capable of. We can see that Hu Xueyan didn't ask for anything, he just wanted to show it, and the opportunity came naturally. From the questions he asked, from the preparations he made, others felt that although he had not yet entered the bank, he was already an apprentice of the bank. Because even in banks, there is only so much training for apprentices. After a person has determined the direction, don't consider whether there is an opportunity in front of him first, but prepare for what he can do first. When everything is ready, the opportunity will naturally come. Hu Xueyan's Enlightenment ⅴ People should seize the opportunity to let each other know your abilities. We may also think that Hu Xueyan is young, so he jumped ship repeatedly, which is called job-hopping in modern terms. Is this a sign of restlessness? There are two sides to this story. If Hu Xueyan just wants to make more money and has to change jobs because he can't get along well with his boss or colleagues, then we think this person's cultivation is really poor. Because a person does not work in the same position for a long time, it is difficult to accumulate rich experience. This kind of person is no different from a rag. If you rub it everywhere, it will be thrown away sooner or later. Hu Xueyan is not like this. He did a good job and improved his ability quickly, so he was attracted by others. Then why not go? And the person who sent him away was very happy. Therefore, it is also a job-hopping. It's actually a good thing to jump ship like him. If you are forced to jump ship, you are unfaithful, or you just jump ship for money, it is not advisable. It can be seen that everything can be seen on both sides, which is the so-called yin and yang culture.
