Huizhou Merchant Hu Xueyan

It tells the story of Hu Xueyan, a cowherd boy who counterattacked and struggled to become the richest man in the late Qing Dynasty. In his early years, Hu Xueyan worked as a clerk in a grain store and a ham store, and later worked in Fukang Bank. He had a keen eye for people and dared to make decisions privately. He lent five hundred taels of silver to the candidate official Wang Youling to help him go to Beijing to fill his vacancy. The shareholders found out and kicked him out of the bank. Three years later, Wang Youling came back to fill his vacancy and funded his business. From then on, Hu Xueyan skyrocketed and his business spread all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Later, Hu Xueyan admired Zuo Zongtang and took the initiative to get to know him. He successively supported Zuo Zongtang in regaining Zhejiang and Fujian, quelling the Shaanxi-Gansu rebellion, regaining the entire Xinjiang, making significant contributions to the reunification of the motherland, and becoming a patriotic businessman who will go down in history.
