After the outbreak of the Opium War, foreign ideas continued to pour in. The country was weak but business was prosperous. Hu Xueyan, Qiao Zhiyong, Sheng Xuanhuai and other giant businessmen in the late Qing Dynasty came to the historical stage. However, among the many businessmen, no one could compare with him. He was praised by Li Hongzhang as the treasury of the Qing court, called the King of Money by the common people, and was listed by Time Magazine as the fourth richest man in the world at the end of the 19th century. He was the only poinsettia-top businessman in Chinese history - Wang Chi.
He started by carrying goods on a pole and selling them, and then organized a caravan in troubled times. On China's ancient Tea Horse Road, he used his wit and bravery to create a world between Sichuan and Yunnan. In dealing with the relationship between government and business, he adheres to the rule of "what officials want, businessmen have nothing to retreat from". In the business field, he also adheres to the concept of "I take when others give up, and I give when others take away". Although he is in troubled times, he is like a fish in water, involved in all walks of life, and has gained traction in both political and business circles. Eventually he became a generation of "money king".
