The World's Richest Man: Wu Bingjian Counterattacks Through the Cracks

Wu Bingjian, the world's richest man in the late Qing Dynasty, spent his life dancing on the edge of a knife. Amidst the layers of exploitation by the government, the eager gaze of Western powers, and the fierce fighting among his peers, he played a thrilling game of "survival in the cracks." With his extraordinary courage, he not only turned Chinese tea into a world-famous business card, but also entered the American railway, insurance, and securities markets, and accumulated astonishing wealth accounting for 40% of the Qing Dynasty's treasury. Even in that era when he had to bow his head, he donated a total of 16 million taels of silver, but still left endless assets to his descendants. Wu Bingjian proved that: a real business master does not have to be successful, but to be able to turn crises into business opportunities in the storm.
