In addition to the time and space advantages of Jinshang, the enterprise system of Jinshang is leading the way in China's commercial revolution, such as the joint-stock cooperation system, the separation of rights system, the professional manager system, the human capital system, the capital management system, the bill circulation system, the transfer and settlement system, the bank secret deposit system, the financial audit system, etc., as well as a large number of technological innovations, tool innovations, business innovations, and system innovations. In the 60s of the 19th century, Hu Xueyan once studied Jin merchants, changed Fukang Qianzhuang to the ticket number, newly opened Hu Tongyu ticket number, Yan Xinhou of Zhejiang Cixi Yiguan and businessman opened Yuan Fengrun ticket number, Nanjing Yishang Yiguan Li Jingchu and Jiangsu Dongting businessman Xi Zhiqian opened Yishanyuan ticket number, Yunnan business name Tongqingfeng changed the day Shunxiang ticket number, as well as Hunan Xianghezhen, Nanchang Xinfenghou, Shanghai Longqianchang, Xinjiang Weichengheng and so on, which also see the influence of Jin merchants. Until the liberation of Beijing in 1949, many industries in Beijing were still monopolized by Jin merchants, such as rice noodles and pigments, which were monopolized by people from Qixian County, Shanxi; paper, Shanxi Linfen Xiangfen people monopoly; cloth, monopolized by Shanxi Yicheng people; Dried fruits, Shanxi Wenshui people monopoly; The time-honored brands of Shanxi businessmen are still flourishing until the 50s of the 20th century, such as Duyi, Liubiju, Tongrentang, Tongsanyi, and Sanyishun, were still prosperous.
Up to now, in the major cities of northern China, including the northwest and northeast, especially Inner Mongolia, there are many Shanxi immigrants, who speak Shanxi accents and live a life similar to that of the Jin people, and there are also many Shanxi expatriates in Outer Mongolia and Russia. The spirit of Jin merchants, especially the ethics of Jin merchants, has influenced the major domestic merchants and overseas Chinese businessmen, Guandi Temple is more than Confucius Temple, there are Confucian temples in counties and counties, villages and villages related temples, and Guandi Temples have also been built overseas. Since the May Fourth Movement put forward the slogan of "Down with the Confucian Family", after the political movement, although the Confucian culture has gradually been diluted, the business ethics of the descendants of the Jin merchants are still flickering in the dark, and the traditional etiquette, righteousness and shame are not gone. Contemporary Chinese merchants, whether in the north, south, west or east, all large and small shopping malls worship Guan Gong, who is widely revered as the god of wealth. This shows that the spirit of Jin merchants is influencing the spirit of Chinese merchants.
The history of economic and social development proves that business can enrich the people, business can strengthen the country, and circulation is also a productive force. Without circulation, the value of commodities cannot be realized, there can be no reproduction, and therefore there can be no social prosperity and development. There is no theoretical basis for cheap businessmen and suppressed businessmen. The modernization of agriculture is commercialization and marketization. In today's society, there is no business and no wealth, and there is no business and no city, in fact, contemporary society is already a commercial society. The European commercial revolution ** mercantilists, later in the early days of the industrial revolution was criticized by the classical economist Adam Smith, after the 30s of the 20th century, there was Keynes's negation of negation, and neo-mercantilism, etc. Now it seems that the outward expansion of developed countries requires freedom and laissez-faire; The accelerated socio-economic development of the underdeveloped countries requires the necessary intervention and management. What mercantilism is needed for underdeveloped countries, it is also needed in the underdeveloped provinces of a country.
In the past century, although the outlook on life of valuing business and establishing a business has undergone certain changes in the land of Shanxi, it has not disappeared, and the change of ideology has always lagged behind the economic and social changes. In contemporary Shanxi people, there are still many relics of Jin merchants: the vast majority of contemporary Shanxi people are industrious and thrifty, careful and good at saving, which is the inheritance of Jin businessmen's financial management ideas; The vast majority of people in contemporary Shanxi are loyal and honest, calm and reliable, and it is also the inheritance of the spirit of Jin merchants. Nowadays, in many enterprises, there are very few people in Shanxi who have been fired among their employees. In the more than 20 years since the reform and opening up, a large number of contemporary Jin merchants who have grown up in Shanxi are the inheritors and promoters of the spirit of Jin merchants. The spirit of Jinshang is still there, and the spirit of Jinshang needs to be further promoted.
To carry forward the spirit of Jin businessmen, it is necessary to strive to make the spirit of businessmen who work hard, be honest and trustworthy, and pioneer and innovate enter the mainstream society. To carry forward the spirit of Jin merchants, we must also dare to enter the market, go to the shopping mall, break into the foreign market, and make friends, talk about business, and do business with businessmen inside and outside the province, at home and abroad. Of course, there are risks, and generally speaking, the greater the benefits, the greater the risks, and the smaller the benefits, the smaller the risks. Risks are regular, can be analyzed, judged, dispersed, avoided and passed on, but cannot be eliminated. As long as you can recognize and judge risks, risks can be controlled.
The formation of a rational society needs the guidance of thinkers and society, and the dissemination of public intellectuals and society to the masses. The culture and spirit of Jinshang are important social capital for building a harmonious society today. **Establish that people between heaven and earth are precious, people-oriented, benefit the people, aspire to heaven and earth, and establish the way for the people; Entrepreneurs are ashamed of being rich and rich, proud of being rich and popular, and helping each other in the industry, mutual benefit and common development. As a result, we have established our common basic beliefs, value orientations, enterprise spirit, way of thinking, and code of conduct, so that the atmosphere and harmonious development of benevolence, justice, courtesy, reason, and integrity have become the spiritual force for building socialist commercial civilization and socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics.
