China people and dogs are not allowed to enter the hotel entrance. What did a China man do after he bought the hotel?

Anyone who knows a little about history should know. After the Opium War, China entered a very humiliating period. A country is bullied by the great powers and suppressed by the outside world.

In such a turbulent era, there are many patriots in our country who are unwilling to be humiliated and brave to fight. With that patriotism, I won everyone's respect with practical actions. This is the case with Chen Fang, the first overseas Chinese billionaire.

Abandon school to do business.

1925 Chen Fang was born in a business family in Xiangshan County, Guangdong Province. At that time, if you want to get ahead, you can only study hard and get ahead. Chen Fang is no exception. His father gave him the best education since he was a child, thinking that one day he could get ahead and become the first.

In this beautiful hometown, under the expectation of her father, Chen Fang lives a dull and warm life. Through continuous efforts, he took part in the imperial examination at the age of eleven or twelve and became a scholar.

Besides studying China's poems and songs, his father hired a western teacher to teach him English and advanced western culture when he was very young.

Chen Fang's father is very clever in business. After years of struggle, he has made a lot of money. However, contrary to expectations, such a peaceful and beautiful life did not last forever. The sudden death of his father also left the family without a pillar.

At that time, China was also in a state of extreme decline. Influenced by her father, Chen Fang is very talented in business.

After his father left, he secretly made up his mind to open up a career and win glory for his country.

As many people in the family make a living by doing business, Chen Fang gave up her studies to learn to do business. He decided to follow his uncle to Hong Kong and Macau to learn how to do business. During studying with his uncle, he often took a small notebook to record his daily experiences and learned new business ideas from them.

When he was studying business in Hong Kong and Macao, he was a little apprentice, working as a handyman beside his uncle, and had no chance to get in touch with business-related things at all. Because of his young age, my uncle didn't ask too much of him, just let him follow him and watch how to do business, and I got an impression in my heart.

Modern supermarket prototype

1849, started studying business with my uncle at the age of 24. He began to learn some skills, know how to draw inferences from others, and began to have his own opinions on the handling of some things. He doesn't want to be attached to his uncle's life all the time, and he also has certain ideas about his future.

After studying, he often inquires about the market situation of rent. He found Hanfu very popular, but it was a bit old-fashioned in the mode of shop buying and selling. He wants to open a brand-new shop. As soon as he got started, he told his uncle his ideas and discussed with him whether he could give him some start-up funds to try.

My uncle was very supportive after learning his idea, with the help of my uncle. Chen Fang, 24, opened a small shop in Honolulu.

Chen Fang, a small shop selling clothes, did not adopt the usual sales model, but "open the shelf to receive goods and buy freely", which created a modern supermarket model. This novel model quickly attracted many customers, and the business in the store was extremely hot for a time. Because of the new style, low price and good quality, he attracted many repeat customers.

In order to attract more customers, he will also promote sales on some special festivals. Under such a business philosophy, it only took a short month, and his profits doubled. Just when everything was going well, a big fire completely destroyed the store, and the guys in the store took advantage of the fire and robbed the store of 30 thousand yuan and ran away.

Faced with a series of blows, Chen Fang never thought of giving up. In order to reopen his business, he borrowed usury. Fortunately, after the store reopened, it was not affected by the previous fire, and the business was still hot. Soon he earned the first 1 bucket of gold in his life.

The first overseas Chinese millionaire

Chen Fang, who won the first 1 barrel of gold, didn't take a fancy to her shop. He always pays attention to the international situation. During the outbreak of the American Civil War, Chen Fang found that the sugar resources in the north of the United States were very scarce in the south. At that time, the southern States of the United States cut off the supply of sucrose to the north, and the north had to buy sucrose from other places.

Chen Fang immediately invested the first 1 barrel of gold she earned in sugarcane planting and sugar production, and all of them were operated on a large scale. There is a great demand for sucrose stone in the northern part of the United States, so Chen Fang seized this opportunity and supplied all her sugar to the northern part of the United States.

In just a few years, Chen Fang accumulated huge wealth and soon became the first millionaire among overseas Chinese, so she was elected as the top leader of the Chamber of Commerce by local Chinese in Hawaii. Doing business overseas all the year round, he also knows the difficult situation of Chinese doing business overseas.

Rich experience also made him understand that only by integrating into the local society and intervening in government politics can he protect his legitimate rights and interests. That one won the recognition of the Hawaiian royal family by virtue of his talent and great wealth. In the process of long-term contact with the Hawaiian royal family, he gradually developed a good impression on the Hawaiian princess.

At that time, Chen Fang had a wife at home. According to China tradition, a princess can only marry him as a concubine. At that time, the Hawaiian royal family was very satisfied with Chen Fang. As for wives and concubines, they don't care. The two married in the presence of the Hawaiian royal family.

Strong national pride

This incident also caused an uproar in the Chinese community. At that time, many foreigners greatly despised China people. Now Chen Fang has married a Hawaiian princess as a concubine, winning a sigh of relief for China compatriots.

In the process of establishing diplomatic relations between Hawaii and China, Chen Fang also played a great role. He helped the Hawaiian king visit China many times. When the Qing government learned of this incident, it appointed Chen Fang as the Consul General of China in Honolulu. With the continuous improvement of Chen Fang's position in the Hawaiian royal family, he has also continuously improved the rights of Chinese in Hawaii.

As he grew older, he auctioned off all his industries. With this huge asset, I returned to my hometown and started public welfare undertakings. Once he heard that there was a hotel in the town. There was a sign in front of the hotel, which said, "China people and dogs are not allowed in".

When he learned that, he immediately contacted the owner of that hotel. Unexpectedly, the owner of that hotel looked down on people and was indifferent to Chen Fang's purchase of the restaurant, so he paid a high price of $3,000 at will. At that time, several equivalent hotels could be purchased at this price.

After hearing this proposal, Chen Fang did not hesitate. She turned around and gave the owner of this hotel $5,000 to get out of the hotel. After he took over the hotel, he renovated it and renamed it "Four Seas Fiona Fang", which was open to the public free of charge.

Chen Fang's life is legendary. He not only represents himself, but also represents the successful history of many patriotic overseas Chinese fighting for the motherland. At that time, Chen Fang lived an inviolable dignity belonging to China people!
