Nice! This is a book about Qian Wendai. Money is very historical and worth reading. The author writes the book in the form of oral notes, which is eloquent, humorous and unique. A book that must not be missed. You will thank me after reading it 😎😎😎
This book is very interesting. It tells the history of China from the perspective of coins and allows me to understand the evolution of money and the art of finance. The author's writing style is humorous and informative, and he has both historical knowledge and financial wisdom. I like the plot about "selling one's life" in the book.
