Looking through the modern commercial history of China, Fengtian's "Silk House" is so unique and dazzling.
This world-famous business group is the collective entrepreneurial memory of several generations of Dongdu people.
The story of "building a tall building" in Fengtian Sifu has long been scribbled.
But no one asked: Why does Fengtian support this unique business phenomenon?
1926, the opera cavity echoed with firecrackers in Siping Street.
A beautiful baroque building stands in the north of the street. There is a flower pavilion on the top of the fifth floor, and a huge plaque under the eaves of the third floor, which is engraved with big characters: Jishun Temple Room.
This was written by Wang Yongjiang, then Governor of Fengtian.
The onlookers who paid for the opening ceremony talked about it: "This list is very good and bold"; "Fang Lin Cai Dong of Jishun Temple is afraid of spending a lot of money?"
Gossip people who eat melons obviously don't know the inside story connected with the blood of Lu merchants.
At that time, Fengtian was the immigrant area with the largest number of Lu people, and the Jiaodong Gang formed was well known.
Businessmen running around in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China mostly borrowed clan relations in the village to form business gangs to protect themselves.
Shandong merchants of Jiaodong School are represented by Huangxian merchants, and they can be seen in every bustling metropolis in Northeast China.
Lin, the shopkeeper of Jishun Silk Workshop, Wang Jingshan, the shopkeeper, and his buddies are all from Huangxian County.
Jiaodong refers to Deng, Lai and Qing. Dengzhou Prefecture is the most advanced place in Shandong Peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, "the benefits of boat navigation are better than other counties" and "the people are more profitable".
Governor Wang Yongjiang is also a descendant of Donghai Piao.
Wang Gulu, the ancestor of Wang Jia's trip to Guandong, crossed the sea from Penglai to Dalian Jinxian to do business and spread it to Wang Fu and Qian.
Penglai is adjacent to Huangxian County and belongs to Dengzhou area. Wang Yongjiang and Huangxian Group are relatives.
Lu people are deeply influenced by Confucianism and have a strong homesickness. In addition, Wang loved calligraphy for some time, and naturally he enjoyed calligraphy plaques.
A more important measure is to support the business of provincial capitals.
Zhang just put forward the idea of "expanding business to meet demand", and the provincial capital is trying to create an atmosphere conducive to business.
At this time, Wang Yongjiang has built Heather and Beishi in the commercial port, which are mutually exclusive with Siping Street in the city.
Shops in Bagua Street in Shinan have opened, and more than 1,000 shops in Beishi have closed down.
Siping Street has also been transformed, and 86 shops have begun to take shape.
From west to east, the 42 stores in Lunan are Tongjuyuan Hat Store, Hongshunsheng and Hongshunmao Silk Room, Tianyitang Pharmacy and Laotian Silk Room.
On the north side of this road, there are 44 pen shops from west to east. They are Li, Qian Xiangheng and Yu Taisheng respectively. Jishun Silk Shop, Tongyicheng Small Foreign Goods Store, Jishunhong, Jishunchang, Tongyihe Silk Shop, Xingshun Silk Shop, and Xingshun West Silk Shop are the easternmost.
Jishun Silk Building is the most striking landmark in the commercial street.
The rumor of spending a lot of money on this plaque soon reached the ears of Wang Yongjiang.
Wang Yongjiang said indifferently, Nothing: Calligraphy is a lifetime achievement, and it's only natural to touch up writing.
Only this large sum of money can truly live up to Wang Yongjiang's honest ambition.
He served as the general manager of the official bank, and paid a dividend of 80 thousand yuan in a few years, which is astronomical. He didn't take any money for public use.
In Guanhai, he is an old-school scholar who doesn't love money.
Wang sent his daughter a poem: "The official is as clear as water, and there is no other gift. The word Taiping is placed on Qing. " I saw my heart.
By his hand, 14 people were shot for violating financial discipline, which was the best time for him to take charge of the whole province.
Officials are honest and prosperous. All walks of life in this province are prosperous.
A famous businessman in Siping Street is a famous plaque in the fashion industry, which not only respects elegance, but also promotes popularity.
Wang Yongjiang has the responsibility to carry forward the banner of the Silk Road.
At that time, there were two gold plaques in Cuihua Gold Shop, one inscribed by calligrapher Yang and the other by upright official Zou of the Republic of China.
The plaque in Zhonghefu Teahouse is the official script of Ge Yuetan, the abbot of Taiqing Palace.
The plaques of Tianyitang and Hongxing Jindian were written by Liang Chengzhe, a master.
1928 Hendry Watch and Glasses Shop, the plaque is the masterpiece of Wei Bei, a great calligrapher and Taoist priest in Shanghai?
Silk room is a golden signboard in Fengtian, and the authorities are committed to polishing this signboard.
In Fengtian's national industry and commerce, the industry with the highest average total capital per store is Silk Square.
Fengtian Economic Affairs of Fengtian Chamber of Commerce and Industry said: "Silk houses and cloth villages are the strongest businessmen in Northeast China", and "Silk houses mark the rise and fall of the industrial and commercial circles".
During the Republic of China, Fengtian Silk House grew into a clothing-oriented department store, not only in modern China, but also in Asia.
1933, Fengtian Xingxin compiled the second list of Chinese businessmen in Manchuria.
142 silk houses are not isolated. Behind each silk room are a bunch of computer rooms and dyeing rooms.
In June of the 7th year of the Republic of China (19 18), there was a dispute between Fengtian Sifang Xing Shunyi, Hengxingyuan, Tianzengde and Tongxing Zengfang.
The main reason is that the computer room bought the line on credit from the silk room, and the payment was overdue.
The silk display room has become the raw material and channel supplier for the computer room and dyeing room because it controls the industrial terminal.
No matter how big or small the silk family is, each family is a leader that affects many industries.
The prosperity of the silk workshop and all trades are attributed to the provincial capital.
The violent spring breeze on the Bohai Sea in Kangxi 15 (1667) made the boarders in Longkou Wharf in Jiaodong feel uneasy.
After a night at sea, Shan Wenxing of Li Wenhe finally landed in Yingkou, and their goal was Shengjing.
The Hu Si Mountain brothers in Shanjia Village in the north of Huangxian County want to try their luck.
Living in Dengzhou is really tiring. People are crowded and food is scarce.
"Dengzhou County Records" contains: "Pyongyang, 50 miles away, has only poor farming resources, but the land is too narrow and the people are too thick to make more friends. What about its mountain people? " Many camps end up rich. "
Agriculture has no way out, and it is forced to get rich at the end of its business.
The real world is never easy, and it is not easy for businessmen to make a living.
The mountain is very clear: the food price in Liaodong is only half that in Jiaodong, and traveling to Kanto will not starve to death.
More yellow people with the same beliefs crossed the sea and entered Liao.
"Every year, during the second year of Xuantong's Spring Festival, the coolies in Shandong Province flocked to Shandong Province? More than 30,000 people arrived in Yingkou via Luanjiakou, Dengzhou, Shandong Province, and more than 20,000 people arrived in Anton. The rest arrived in Yingkou from Longkou, with about 13,000 people. "
The refugees in Jiaodong "let the gnawing leaves divide and rule, and when the silkworms are finished, they will twist the thread."
The output of tussah cocoons in Liaodong exceeds 75% in China, but it can't be reeled for weaving, and 90% of cocoons can only be reeled in Dengzhou.
Waist twisting in Huangxian county has been popular for 400 years, and it has spread all over Liaodong in the early Republic of China.
"It was exported at first, and then it gradually moved out, so it was the privilege of the foreign silk industry."
In the past 200 years, Shandong immigrants have been in an endless stream, and a single family of five has become the richest man in Huangxian County and the originator of Fengtian Silk House.
At that time, the Shan family first opened the "Tianhe Li" handmade silk workshop, which has now been renamed "Tianhe".
People in Huangxian county transformed Sifang into a department store, and derived six names: "Tian, Xing, Ji, Hong, Yu and Qian".
Tianhe Li, Heaven and Earth, Tianhe East, Tianhe Source and Tianhe Auxiliary;
"Prosperity is smooth", "Prosperity is Shunyi", "Prosperity is West" and "Prosperity is smooth";
Ji Shunchang, Ji Shunhong, Ji Shuntong, Ji Shunlong;
"Hong Shunsheng" and "Hong Shunmao";
"Yutaisheng" and "Yutaidong";
"Money is the same", "money" and money.
Jiaodong immigrants created a city's commercial prosperity.
Drifting seeds finally blend with the soil that promotes them to take root and sprout?
Provincial authorities are also keenly aware of this phenomenon.
In the 12th year of the Republic of China (1923), Fengtian established the Reclamation Bureau to distribute farm tools and seeds to the refugees in wasteland, which was rent-free for three years.
1925 immigration bureau was established in Tianjin, and Fengtian reclamation program was adopted.
"Divide the village heads to inspect the large local households with food, and borrow livestock, seeds and food with shillings".
The problem of survival is safety, and the rest is seeking development.
Yingkou is naturally the focus, where immigrants stay and trade ports.
1923, Tong Zhaoyuan, who is in charge of Toyota Spinning Factory, was transferred to Yi Dao, Liaoshen.
I want Tong to stay in Yingkou to keep immigrants.
This is a bridgehead to attract investment and immigrants.
During the period of 192 1, Fengtian showed a situation of "people's life is relatively rich" and "economy is relatively stable".
1924 6,500 provincial capital merchants, and 193 1 year increased to 8,000.
83% of them have been employed since the Republic of China.
According to Fengtian Tongzhi 1929, "there are 56 industries in the provincial capital, such as textile, petroleum, tobacco, money, hotels, iron shops and grain".
People flow and business flow promote consumption upgrading and urban upgrading.
1927 in order to solve the traffic jam, Fengtian municipal government decided to widen the middle street road from three feet to four feet.
The shop is based on Jishun Silk Square, and one foot back is the sidewalk.
1929 demolition of the bell tower and drum tower in Zhongjie. Then the gravel road was changed to asphalt road.
The municipal government invested a lot of money, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of ZOJE.
JiShunSi room building, also press the button to start the store upgrade.
Businesses and capitals from all walks of life are scrambling to set up shops in Zhongjie to run their own businesses or rent them out.
This wave of construction has brought a prosperous period for the development of Zhongjie department store.
Rows of new buildings make Shenyang one of the major cities in China.
A city is undergoing a modern transformation because of the rise of the Silk House.
There was a A Qing dynasty, which always treated the northeast of its hometown differently.
1900 boxer incident, the Qing court, which abandoned the capital "Xi Shou", made up its mind to reform and chose Fengtian as a pilot.
1907, Xu Shichang, a military minister, became the governor of the three northeastern provinces, with high hopes for reform.
Zhao Erxun before Xu was not an ordinary person and made some explorations in the New Deal.
Look at the old photos of the middle street being rebuilt above, and you will find many interesting things.
Who is the leftmost person in the photo? Maybe experts will be confused.
I tell you, this man is a policeman in the late Qing Dynasty.
After the 28th year of Guangxu (1902), Fengtian completed the reform of the police system.
The Regulations of each patrol team and the number of people at each checkpoint of Fengtian Police Headquarters are very detailed in police affairs.
"There are four patrol streets and two alleys, which are divided into lots." There are eight shifts day and night, every three hours.
The day and night are divided into grids, and the public security is instantly renewed.
"The patrol team members carry sticks during the day, which are for self-defense and are not allowed to hit people." No noise is allowed at night unless it is to catch a thief.
No sunglasses, no sidewalks, no drinking, etc. "Offenders are to blame."
Commercial street management is convenient for businessmen, business is booming, and people are interacting.
There are silk houses in front of and behind the middle street police.
As a pilot of the Qing court reform, the Fengtian Chamber of Commerce is also the focus of the New Deal.
General Zhao Erxun of Shengjing once said: "To develop business, we must start from the Chamber of Commerce".
/kloc-At the end of 0/9, in the process of urbanization in Europe and America, the Chamber of Commerce is the export of business culture.
The Fengtian Chamber of Commerce in 1906 restricted Japanese businessmen from "opening stores in the mainland" shortly after its establishment.
This is the "declaration of war" of merchants after the Russo-Japanese War: it is forbidden to get their hands on Zhongjie.
19 13, the chamber of commerce opened the first bank in northeast China-Fengtian Commercial Bank.
Commercial banks were the first to borrow working capital for the Silk Road.
The Chamber of Commerce is responsible for public facilities, running schools and civil affairs.
1926, Jishun Silk House opened for fun, and the Chamber of Commerce sent six firefighters to put out the fire on the spot.
The rise of Fengxi Northeast benefited from the railway economy, immigration and the "reform dividend" of the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty.
The Chamber of Commerce set up an industrial and commercial evening school, in which "industrial and commercial directors send students" to teach "business ethics, economy, bookkeeping, business geography and business law".
A 90-year-old financial expert once recalled that Shenyang Night School reshaped his life?
1937, a 14-year-old Huangxian child went to Jishun Temple as an apprentice.
After studying hard at night school for ten years, 1949 was admitted to North China University and was selected as a graduate student studying in the Soviet Union.
He is Jiang Weizhuang, a famous financial expert in China.
The century-old Jishun Silk Workshop is still beautiful, and time seems to go back.
He said, this is a magical city!
