From Beiyang Broker to World's Richest Man

In 1883, Gu Qiyuan's first business was to sell his father's stock worth 2 million taels for 1.68 Million taels. The second son of the Gu family quit his job as a translator at Shanghai Ocean Customs and spent his days hanging out at the Fireworks and Willow Alley Casino, selling off his property to make up for the shortfall. He became a well-known prodigal son on the beach. Half a year later, the first financial crisis in modern history swept Shanghai, and 68 of the 78 banks collapsed. Instead, the Gu family became the biggest winner. Take a look at how Gu Ergong led his two strange brothers, starting from stealing and selling property, and gradually embarked on the road of saving the nation and becoming strong.
