According to the recollection of Confucianist Yin Haiguang, his teacher and philosopher Jin Yuelin once said, "Anything that belongs to the so-called spirit of the times and excites the people of an era may not be reliable or lasting." This statement is quite profound. If any of my books make the reader's heart flutter, it is my fault.The history we are reading should not be cold, but it should not be hot, it should only have the normal body temperature of ordinary people.In calmness, we can find the entrance to truth. Thank you to those who have created the progress of Chinese business - all my efforts are to give you a justice.

Thanks to those who made history.For this corporate history, I have read and adopted a large number of previous achievements. Like all my previous works, I did not list a large number of book indexes at the end of the book. This is mainly due to two considerations. Both have marked valuable sources of information, and interested readers can find them through various channels; second, in order to save paper, I am often uneasy about the expensive prices of my books. I want to jot down and here recite the names of those scholars whose research on modern and contemporary Chinese history is awe-inspiring: John King Fairbank, Marie Claire Bergere, Jonathan D. Spence), Sherman Cochran, Frederic Wakeman, Philip A.Kuhn, Albert Feuerwerker, Thoas G.Rawski, Liu Guangjing, Hao Yanping, Yang Xiaokai, Wang Yejian, Yu Yingshi , Zhu Xueqin, Lei Yi, Liang Xiaomin...

For this writing, I went to Shanghai, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Anqing, Chongqing, Nantong, Wuxi, Nanjing, Yichang, Fuzhou, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Zhenjiang, Hong Kong and many other cities. His deeds and sites are doing untold work. Thanks to my assistants Zhu Lin and Lu Bin, this book is inseparable from their assistance in many aspects.Thanks to the many colleagues of the "Oriental Morning Post".Thanks to President Wang Bin, Editor-in-Chief Pan Yue, and my editor-in-charge Jiang Lei of CITIC Publishing House. Their tolerance and patience with me seems to have no boundaries. Thanks to my wife Shao Bingbing.I originally planned to write this work in the way of biographies of characters, but it was her insistence that I changed to the current chronological style that is consistent with the present, which made me pay several times more workload. Now it seems that, She is right.In the past few years, writing has become the most important part of family life. The only compensation I can make is to accompany her and Wu Shuran to watch every new "blockbuster movie" as much as possible.

Wu Shuran, who is in the sixth grade of elementary school, has "dismissed" any of my works so far, and I am patiently waiting for the day when she makes criticisms.
