Qiao's Family Compound
The Qiao family in Qixian made a fortune in the early years of Qianlong. They are supported by current enterprises because they are trustworthy and do business fairly. Although they failed in business, they survived the difficulties and made a fortune. At the same time, the jstars' family rules are strict, they don't prostitute, gamble, take concubines and drink too much, so the jstars' family business has gradually flourished. Starting from Baotou City, it has developed into a large and medium-sized commercial port in China, and set up business offices in cities and towns in Beijing, Tianjin, Northeast China and the Yangtze River valley.
In the 10th year of Guangxu (1884), Dade Tong and Dade Heng Bank were established. The initial capital of Dadetong draft bank was 62,000, which increased by 1.2 million in the medium term and finally increased to 352,000. The capital of Dadeheng Bank is 654.38+ 2 million. Erpiao has more than 20 docks (semicolons) in China.

Joe's office is located in Lanzhou and An in the west, Nanjing, Shanghai and Hangzhou in the east, Zhangjiakou, Guihua and Baotou in the north and Shenyang in the northeast. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qiao family owned more than 200 banks, money houses, pawn shops and grain shops all over the country, with a working capital of more than 7 million yuan-10 million yuan, plus real estate such as land and real estate, with assets of tens of millions.
In addition to his own talents, Joe's developed family also pays attention to making friends with government officials. Joe's own people don't spend money to buy an official, but spend money to meet powerful people, which can be used as a business backer. If an official is frustrated in officialdom, he can also make new officials. In other words, if the previous backer falls down, you can find a new backer, so that the business operation will not be affected.
Joe holds a powerful official, from the royal family down to the state and county officials, netting and dredging all around. Since Guangxu, officials of the Shaanxi-Gansu government and the governor of Shanxi have almost all had economic exchanges with Joe's business. During the Gengzi Incident, Cixi fled to the west, passing through Shanxi. The exhibition of Qiao made Cixi Bank set up in its bank, Dadetong Head Office in Qixian County, and lent 402,000 yuan of silver to the Qing court, which solved the financial difficulties of the Qing court's westward escape. Of course, the Qing court also "voted for it and rewarded it with Li". Since then, it has paid more attention to Joe's business.

The decline of Qiao's family began with the establishment of private banks by the Qing government in the late Qing Dynasty. Most of Joe's banking business was robbed by government-run banks, some assets were looted, and public and private deposits were greatly reduced. Joe had to reorganize the bank into a bank.
After the Revolution of 1911, the Qing Dynasty perished, and all the money lent by the Qiao family to the Qing government was given, which caused great losses.
When there was chaos in the Republic of China, warlords from all walks of life shared their salaries and profited from them. For example, Joe's duplicate business in Baotou was apportioned by Feng Yuxiang's army in 1926, and the grain loss was 50,000 stone. Now it is150,000, and Joe's business has been greatly weakened.
1937, the Japanese invaded Baotou, and Qiao's renamed pawnshop and money house were accepted by Japanese puppet organizations. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Joe's firm resumed business, leaving only a lingering, dying before liberation.
