Chapter 762: Business tycoon, both black and white! He Shen: It is difficult to be rich and clean, it is good to succeed!
Barrage:

——"No wonder so many people say that starting a business requires shamelessness. It seems to be true."

——"The main thing is to get the opportunity first!"

——"A classic history of American capitalist exploitation!"

——"Wait for me to go and fool people too!"

——"It's no longer possible to do this now. The supervision is too strict."

——"After reading this, I feel like I can do it, but I just lack the $8000 start-up capital!"

……

Qing Dynasty plane.

Heshen tilted his neck to look at what was on the screen, and the maidservant put a peeled shrimp into his mouth at the right moment.

Heshen smacked his lips in satisfaction and tugged at his priceless sable fur coat.

Gently waving a round fan, squinting her eyes.

In this world, whether in China or in foreign countries, the same truth applies.

This foreigner named Henry is somewhat similar to me when I was young.

It was also created from nothing, and it was also done by relying on eloquence and a quick mind.

However, this person is more far-sighted than himself. He actually went to a wild place like Nanyang to make a living.

How many of the wealth and honor in this world are obtained cleanly?
As long as things can be accomplished in the end, sometimes there is no need to worry too much about the process.

……

On another plane.

Zeng Guofan put down the bamboo slips and twirled his beard.

Thinking back to when I was training my own troops, I also started from nothing, but at least I asked the court for money and food in accordance with the rules.

Even though he had to borrow money to make ends meet later, he never cheated anyone.

This kind of impatience is not in line with the way of a gentleman.

But then again, this foreigner does have some skills.

They were able to gain a foothold in a foreign country and actually built a railway, which shows that they are not completely without real skills.

But if it were me, I would definitely first find out the way and make friends in the local area, and then work slowly.

However, the way to make money in this world, whether in China or abroad, is always to use tricks and strategies.

The only difference is that a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way.

If you can use this smartness in the right way, you may be able to achieve great success.

[Although the first pot of capital is stained with blood, it will definitely be washed clean later. ]

[So when building the railway in Peru, Henry began to pay great attention to product quality.]

【Therefore, it has left a pretty good reputation. 】

【Also, he sponsored a French explorer. 】

【Completed archaeological excavations at Tiwanaku, Bolivia.】

[This series of operations laid a very solid foundation for the United Fruit Company.]

When the people from all planes saw these contents, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Otherwise, people can make money!

The ability to make money in this world is truly beyond the reach of others.

Ordinary people work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise, so how dare they take such a bloody path!
But such a daring person has the ability to turn black into white and crooked into straight!
Everyone felt a mixture of admiration and disgust.

This kind of courage to take risks is truly astonishing.

If it were an ordinary person, he would always think twice before doing anything, for fear that one wrong step would lead to eternal damnation.

After all, no one can guarantee that if you really do this, will you have a chance to clear yourself in the future.

But this kind of person is different. It seems that they are born with less worries and more ruthlessness.

After all, we still lack this kind of courage and insight.

Farmers work hard all year and can barely make ends meet. Merchants work hard and are content with earning a little money.

How dare I take such a drastic action and put my fate on such a gamble!
But on second thought, perhaps it is precisely because everyone likes to play it safe that these people have the opportunity to take advantage of them.

This is the so-called truth that wealth and honor are achieved through risk!

……

The plane at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Tao Yuanming put down the bamboo slips in his hand, picked up the pottery bowl and took a sip of the wine.

What people seek is nothing more than fame and fortune.

This foreigner named Henry has really mastered the art of pursuing profit.

Looking back at myself, I would feel ashamed if I had to bow down for a few pieces of silver.

I stroked the strings beside me and couldn't help but smile.

This kind of scheming is definitely not something I can do on my own.

Everyone in this world has their own way of living.

Some people are busy pursuing fame and fortune, while others are content to live a lonely life.

I am picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely looking at the southern mountains. I feel happy.

For most people, it is more practical to abide by the law.

Tao Yuanming is of course no exception.

Since you don't have that kind of courage and means, you might as well live your own life in peace and stability.

At least you don’t have to live in fear all day long.

This is probably why the rich and powerful are a minority in the world, while those who live a contented life are the majority.

[The story of the United Fruit Company officially began when Minor Keith took over the unfinished Costa Rica railway construction project left unfinished by his uncle Henry Meigs in 1871.]

[At the time, the Costa Rican government wanted to build a railway connecting the capital San José with Puerto Limon to promote coffee exports.]

[During the construction of the railway, Miner Keith's two brothers and more than 4000 workers died from malaria, poisonous snakes and harsh conditions.]

[In order to maintain the capital turnover of the railway construction, Keith began to grow bananas along the railway. It was also at that time that he discovered that, huh? This is also a lucrative business! ]

[Keith noticed that the land along the railway was very suitable for growing bananas, and that the railway could be used to transport the bananas to the port.]

[He cleverly combined railway construction with banana planting, using the income from the banana trade to support railway construction.]

[In 1883, Keith entered into a partnership with Andrew Preston of the Boston Fruit Company.]

[In 1899, they merged their respective companies to form the United Fruit Company.]

[The company adopts a unique business model: controlling the entire supply chain from planting to transportation and sales. ]

[They not only owned plantations, but also controlled railways, ports, shipping companies, and even opened telegraphs, hospitals and other facilities in Central American countries. ]

[In order to acquire more land, the company expanded its influence by bribing local government officials and supporting politicians who were favorable to the company to come to power.]

[The company also created the Tropical Radio Company, which directly controlled the communications system in Central America.]

[By the early 20th century, the United Fruit Company had become the largest employer and landowner in Central America.]

The company created the world's first modern banana supply chain system, including the use of refrigerated ships to transport bananas.

[However, behind this success lies the exploitation of local farmers, manipulation of the government, and destruction of the environment.]

[In the process of acquiring land, companies often forcibly evict local small farmers, causing a large number of farmers to lose their livelihoods.]

[Keith further consolidated the company's influence in the region by marrying a local dignitary, the daughter of the former president of Costa Rica.]

Barrage:

——"More than 4000 workers lost their lives. The capitalists really don't take human lives seriously!"

——"Vertical supply chain monopoly is so good at it that modern enterprises have to learn from it."

——"From the workers' perspective, this is a devastating existence!"

——"Knowledge point: The United Fruit Company has overthrown several governments in Central America, and launched a coup if they didn't obey."

——"To be honest, the tragic experiences of many developing countries today can be traced back to this period of history."
