Paper-making industry Paper-making is mostly produced in the form of workshops or industrial sites, and it is produced and sold by itself. There are various modes of production that combine commercial capital and industrial capital. Xikou Town is a production and sales center. Small town: "It is twice as prosperous as the city."
Printing and selling books. Longyou produces a lot of paper and wood, which can engrave books and has a cultural tradition. Some scholars put down their airs and made a fortune by lettering and selling books. Yu, who was born in a famous family, also opened a bookstore in Lou County, Jiangsu Province, and printed An Hua, which sold well. Hu Mao, a bookseller, is good at reading and often associates with some literati. Tang Shunzhi, a great scholar in Ming Dynasty, loved books and attracted Hu Mao as a guest. He also said: "If it weren't for trade, nothing would happen." I owe my success to my contact with Hu Mao.
Jewelry and antiques industry. To operate the jewelry industry, we need abundant funds, the ability to identify and watch, the channels to purchase and sell goods, and the ability to deal with robbery and theft. The ancient book records: "There are many pearls, jade feathers, precious stones and cat's eyes in Longyou merchants. Goods worth a thousand dollars, only from the capital, vendors, monk shoes, Meng Rong, rags and huge gangrene, all hidden in plaster, unknown. "It can be seen that Longyou businessmen are not only well-funded, but also have high culture and adaptability. They are cautious and do things quietly.
Long-distance selling. According to Wang Wenlu's "Strategy Book", Li Ruheng, a businessman in Longyou, owns heavy capital, keeps more than 100 vehicles (ships) to transport and sell goods, and sells silk to 15 counties in Hubei, occupying the sales market in the whole province. Longyou merchants participated in the smuggling trade captured in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty.
Mining and metallurgical industries. According to Gu's book "The Diseases of Countries in the World", there are hundreds of miners engaged in mining and metallurgy in Pingyang Tongtang and wucun. Longyou businessmen are willing to endure hardships, not afraid of hardships and risks.
They have traveled all over the country, even overseas in Japan and Luzon Island. For example, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, it was found that there were Longyou businessmen among overseas businessmen. In addition, as early as the first year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1465), Longyou merchants came to Yao 'an (now Chuxiong) in Yunnan, and engaged in land reclamation and planting grain and cash crops with Anfu merchants in Jiangxi. Among them, tens of thousands of people traveled long distances to overcome difficulties such as acclimatization, engaged in commercial reclamation in Yunnan-Guizhou area, enjoyed the reputation of "a guest at the end of the world" and made great contributions to the development of southwest China. Up to now, there are still many descendants of Longyou people on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It can be said that Longyou Business Group is one of the pioneers of western development in China history.
Longyou business gang became famous for a while because they have tolerance, integrity and good professional ethics. For example, the paper merchant Fu has a good price. In order to ensure the quality, the words "Xishan Fu Li Zong" are printed on the paper products to show credit. Jiang Yida has an amazing amount of cotton, and has hired three silver inspectors specially. All the currencies circulating in the store should be stamped to show their responsibility. Zifutang is a well-known Chinese medicine shop. Spend a lot of money and invite a famous doctor to supervise the pills. The pills prepared are accurate, with fine division of labor and layer-by-layer inspection. Pharmacists are required to be responsible for the health of customers. Longyou businessmen are never exclusive, and they are very kind to those who move to Longyou to do business. Business, salt, paper and other Huizhou merchants led three younger brothers to Longyou for business and quickly integrated into Longyou society. Therefore, there are members of Fujian, Jiangxi and Huizhou business gangs in Longyou business gang.
Although Longyou business gang has a glorious past, with the change of traffic conditions, the rise of modern marine culture and the development of overseas trade, it failed to adapt to the development of the times like Huizhou merchants and Shanxi merchants, and gradually declined. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, after the Opium War, Ningbo and other places were turned into five trading ports. At this time, emerging business gangs from Shanghai, Ningbo, Chaoshan, Xiamen, Zhangzhou and other places replaced Longyou and other business gangs. However, the historical achievements and business ethics of Longyou and other business gangs will never die!
