start from scratch
Shen Wansan is not the lucky one who was born with a golden key. He is also a farmer. His legs are covered with mud. He digs food from the land. He is a poor man, so he has a good character of hard work. Knowing that it is difficult to start a business, he will naturally pass on his business philosophy to his subordinates, thus forming a good "enterprise" spirit.

His primitive accumulation, that is, the capital of doing business, has to come from the soil. At that time, Zhouzhuang in Zhejiang was sparsely populated and rich in water resources. Shen Wansan fell in love with this place at first sight, and he bought a large piece of fertile land at a very cheap price. Shen Wansan's father, Shen You, is an agricultural expert. He is very good at fertilization and effective irrigation. So under the guidance of his father, the Shen family got on the horse together and worked hard, and the output was naturally higher than others. Soon, they "made a fortune" and "the fields are full of martial arts".

Shen Wansan has his own business wisdom. He believes that the profit of business comes from the difference between buying and selling. People who can do business should be good at catching business opportunities, grasping opportunities and buying and selling without losing time. Once you find the opportunity to buy and sell, you must "follow the trend like a beast" and make a decisive decision to make a profit.
Buy low and sell high.
One year, there was a bumper harvest of crops in summer and autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, and food prices began to fall. Shen Wansan seized the opportunity and hoarded tens of thousands of stone grains, and all his relatives laughed at his stupidity. The following year, there was a drought in northern Jiangsu, and food prices soared. Shen Wansan transported grain to northern Jiangsu and naturally made a fortune.

Zhang Shicheng, the leader of the rebel army, is preparing to attack Suzhou. As it is rumored that Zhang Shicheng specializes in human flesh and is a killer, it has caused great panic among Suzhou people, and shops of various firms are willing to sell at low prices. Shen Wansan made a decisive attack and soon acquired half the shops in Suzhou City. By the time all the businessmen woke up, Shen Wansan had monopolized Suzhou's jewelry, porcelain, rice shop, bamboo shop and other industries.
Baopen legend
According to legend, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a wealthy Shen Manwan in Shenjia Village. One year there was a drought, and Shen Wansan had the grass mowed, and then he came out again. He cuts fast and grows fast. Shen Wansan felt very strange and took people there to dig an iron basin. When Shen Wansan's daughter-in-law washed her face, she accidentally threw a ring into the basin and got more and more. Shen Wanshan became the richest man in Jiangnan with the help of the financial resources of Baopen. Today, there is still a small pit on Xiaoqiuling in Shenjing Village, and no grass has grown in the pit until now.
Expose the rich and the victims
When Shen Wansan's career was in full swing, his younger brother Shen had already seen the crisis and once wrote poems to persuade him, but Shen Wansan did not listen to his younger brother. After contributing one-third of the cost of building a wall for Nanjing, he actively wanted to reward the army. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always hated businessmen, said, "Most people dare to reward the army of the son of heaven. It is definitely a mob and should be killed. " In the end, the wealthy Shenyang suffered the doom of genocide.
