After watching the first few episodes of Wenzhou Family, I was still very emotional. Of course, as a northerner, I know little about Wenzhou people's stories, but I indirectly feel their tenacious fighting spirit and fanatical pursuit of wealth from various channels. Let's digress. . There are many forms of pursuing wealth in the world. The Spanish landed on the American continent out of the most direct desire for gold and plundered it by the most primitive and violent means in the biological world. Of course, this pursuit is only to gather wealth quickly and distribute it to the whole world quickly. The Dutch are also eager for wealth, but in fact, they have created a complete commercial system before other countries. They not only use more advanced means to gather wealth efficiently, but also use and maintain their wealth reasonably. Jews are also experts in pursuing wealth. However, those who have lost their homes are scattered all over the world. Individuals can gather rich family fortune through their outstanding talents (of course, the restrictions on Jews also force them to enter the ranks of businessmen). In the end, it can only be digested in families or small-scale communities and cannot be transformed into any institutional force. The result is the envy of other nations for the wealth of Jews and the smearing of the image of Jews (Merchant of Venice). Whenever I talk about Wenzhou people, I always think, what are Wenzhou people in China? Are you a Chinese Jew? Or a Dutchman from China? Wenzhou people's excellent business mind and sensitive business sense are probably more reminiscent of Jews. However, unlike Jews who have experienced Babylonian prisons, Wenzhou people have their own roots and relatively complete regional culture. Wenzhou itself is the benchmark for the development of private economy. In this sense, Wenzhou people, although they have gone abroad in large numbers in the past 30 years, seem to be the link that maintains all the cultural feelings and commercial culture of Wenzhou people, and perhaps more similar to the Dutch.

It should be noted that the so-called "Wenzhou model" economic development model has only been 30 years now, coupled with the erratic national policies and restrictions on the free business environment, Wenzhou itself is not enough to form a complete business system and business ethics similar to the Dutch17th century.

If, I mean if, maybe, hypothetically. . . . At some point in the future, Wenzhou will have a free and open business environment similar to Flanders, and the central power will be in a vacuum in this respect. In time, perhaps Yueqing, Ruian, Yongjia and Pingyang will become Dutch, Zeeland and Groningen provinces. Perhaps this region will become the birthplace of a financial empire. . . .

Well, I admit I'm bored, and I've gone too far. If you don't like it, say it's nonsense.
