"Husband! Why are they so conservative? Like the Zhejiang merchants and Jiangsu merchants who are keen on high-risk, high-reward investments. Is it the difference between the coastal and the Mainland?" Su Yanqiao asked curiously.
"Because our traditional culture does not allow you to become a wealthy merchant, so we don't have the pursuit of wealth.
Since the collapse of theocracy in Western society, their belief in God turned into a belief in money, and they are keen on making big money.
The key reason coastal merchants have changed their minds is seeing foreign merchants make a fortune. Who can remain calm?
Mainland merchants are all in one place, like in Pingyao, where everyone's banks and draft banks are set up here," Zhu Wencong explained.
Su Yanqiao didn't expect foreigners to become role models for coastal merchants, and driven by interests, everyone chose to align with money.
