**Wan Fan Incentive Plan Qiao Zhiyong: Jin Shang giant, a symbol of the rise and fall of the Qiao family. Since the establishment of Qiao Guifa, the Qiao family has gone through several generations and finally become a leader in the business world. Qiao Zhiyong pushed the Qiao family's career to the peak, he is not only an excellent businessman, but also a patriot who understands righteousness.
He is patriotic and loyal to the monarch, helps the needy, is willing to give, and accumulates virtue and does good. When the Qiao family encountered difficulties, it was his kindness that enabled the Qiao family's compound to be preserved.
Qiao Zhiyong and his descendants have kept in mind the ancestral teachings from generation to generation, and have always taken harmony in the countryside and kindness to the poor as their core concepts. The Qiao family has persevered for several generations to fulfill this ancestral precept with practical actions and provide free help to poor neighbors.
When Qiao Zhiyong died, although he left tens of millions of family properties, more important is the family reputation he left to his children and grandchildren. It is said that after Qiao Zhiyong's death, the people of a radius of 100 miles came to see him off, which is extremely rare.
The decline of the Qiao family did not happen overnight, and compared to other Jin merchants, their decline came a little later. During the ** period, the Qiao family's business was greatly impacted, especially the three firms of "Fusheng Gong", "Fusheng Quan" and "Fusheng West", which lost millions of yuan in Xianyang, which greatly damaged their vitality.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the Qiao family's life was even more difficult. In 1938, Qiao's shop in Baotou was occupied by the Japanese, and all property, including funds, goods, and employees, was handed over to the Japanese puppet.
In order to avoid the discovery of cash, they forged the account books so that there was almost no cash on the books, but in fact they buried hundreds of thousands of yuan in a cellar more than 3 zhang deep.
These riches were not discovered by the Japanese during the 8 years of the Sino-Japanese War. However, although the Qiao family's "Fu" brand has been developing for more than 200 years, this blow has brought it to a slump.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Qiao family ended the operation of the "Fu" brand, leaving only "Dadetong" to support until 1949. On the eve of the liberation of Beiping, Qiaojiayin was in trouble again, and the loan could not be struck, and depositors demanded withdrawals.
In the end, Qiao's family had to sell their shops and goods to pay off their debts. In 1952, Qiao's family began to lay off employees, and the ticket number business was also closed. In 1955, the state carried out a socialist transformation of capitalist industry and commerce, and all the businesses of the Qiao family finally disappeared.
At this point, the Qiao family's century-old foundation has come to an end, but the Qiao family is the most decent one among the Jin merchants.
During the land reform period, the Qiao family was forced to move out, and the Qiao family compound was taken over by the local ** and assigned to the villagers to live. However, the villagers have been reluctant to move into the compound.
In order to promote their move, the task force at that time actively carried out a lot of work, emphasizing that the landlord capitalists had exploited the peasants, and now the peasants should turn over and become masters and enjoy a happy life.
At the mobilization meeting, the villagers finally said the reason why they were reluctant to move into the Qiao family's compound, because they had been favored by the Qiao family for generations, and now the Qiao family is in difficulty, but they will never forget the Qiao family's previous kindness, and they will not do things that fall into the well and are ashamed of their conscience.
Later, the local ** used the compound as a military hospital, a grain depot, and the location of the provincial commercial cadre school and the county party school. Although a small part of the houses were demolished, most of the structure of the Qiao family compound was preserved, maintaining its original appearance.
During the *** period, the Red Guards attempted to break into the Qiao family's compound to clean up the "four olds". In order to protect this historical and cultural heritage, local villagers spontaneously organized to protect the compound and avoid the catastrophe.
Behind all these actions, it reflects people's deep gratitude to Qiao Zhiyong and the descendants of the Qiao family for their contributions to Qiaojiabao. In the 90s, Qiaojia Compound was officially recognized as a national cultural relics unit, and now it has become a well-known tourist attraction.
