Writing a thesis, the scope is a comparative study of Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants. I don't want to just study the similarities and differences between Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants. 1, Shanxi businessmen's assessment of managers is mainly aimed at their macro grasp of the situation. "Before hiring the manager, Cai Dong will make a strict inspection of this person to confirm that he can make a difference, be good at attack and defense, be resourceful and changeable." (Li Hongling: "Together") Huizhou merchants pay more attention to managers' financial management ability, and have high requirements for candidates' financial management ability, which is the so-called "raising money for others and enjoying the success". In addition, ingenuity and frugality and self-discipline are also one of the criteria for Huizhou merchants to choose managers.

2. Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants both improve the quality of practitioners through practical training, and select talents through training and assessment in the process of use, but there are differences in the scope of talent selection between them. The selection of Shanxi merchants is mainly based on fellow villagers, and the conditions are almost harsh, so there is no possibility of accommodation. Li Weiqing's "past lives of Shanxi Taigu Money Industry" contains: When selecting talents, Shanxi merchants must be over 15 years old and under 20 years old, at least five feet tall, with clean family background, correct facial features, no defects, eloquent and sensitive. Be generous, get used to comity, and don't be afraid to travel. "Most of the people selected by Huizhou merchants come from the same family. On the one hand, we should pay attention to the personal qualities of diligence, humility, patience, flexibility and frugality, as well as the understanding of justice and rationality, on the other hand, we should also take into account the interests of the family. " "The Wu Family Law of Mingzhou" states: "Children of imperial clan can't study and have no land to farm, so they have to engage in merchants, imperial clan or be recommended by other relatives and friends, so that they can make a living with a fixed occupation and not be idle people.

3. Huizhou merchants flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Shanxi merchants flourished in the middle of Qing Dynasty.

4. In terms of business philosophy: Shanxi businessmen value money rather than officials, and "learning to be excellent is an official", and educating children how to make money from an early age; Huizhou merchants value officials over money, and make money to be officials. They taught their children to be officials from an early age and pinned their hopes for success on the officialdom.

5. In terms of business content: Shanxi merchants mainly deal in ticket numbers, and also run grain, cotton, salt, tea and so on. The north needs it. Huizhou merchants advocated culture and Confucian merchants, and cultivated the character of "being good at Confucianism", mainly profiting from money houses, trading in salt, tea and wood or silk grain.

6. Geographically, the main business scope of Shanxi merchants is to develop into northern Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and northern China through westward advancement; Huizhou merchants are mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of Huaihe River, Jiangsu Province and Yangtze River, and sometimes they go north to Beijing and Tianjin along canals or sea routes.

7. In the mode of operation: Shanxi merchants often start from small vendors, carefully calculate, gradually accumulate capital, develop steadily and form their own system; Huizhou merchants started with observation, opportunistic, combined with each other, and formed a business gang.
