Zhang Jiahao: Using Five Dimensional Thinking to "Fix the Soul" for the Ancient City of Pingyao

  "All things are in the same universe but different in form, and it is not suitable but useful to be a person."

  Zhang Jiahao, Chairman of the European and American China Investment Promotion Association and Commander in Chief of Capital, recently attended a conference in Pingyao and conducted research and investigation, citing ancient sages as the "soul of ancient city culture". During the "See Rishengchang · Chinese Culture and Finance Pingyao Conference", Chairman Zhang Jiahao was invited to visit the important birthplace of the cultural spirit of Shanxi merchants - Pingyao Ancient City, to discuss new economic development cooperation plans.

At the Pingyao Conference on Chinese Culture and Finance, Zhang Jiahao delivered a keynote speech on the financialization and internationalization innovation path of the private economy under the new economic situation

  In the subsequent research and investigation, Zhang Jiahao held multiple rounds of talks with authoritative experts in the cultural and financial field, local officials, financiers, and business elites.

  “I am touching the emptiness power of all things in the same universe with my heart”Zhang Jiahao said.

Using "Five Dimensional Thinking" to "Fix the Soul" of the Ancient City

  "Pingyao Ancient City is not only a famous city for commercial gangs, but also a source of finance," Zhang Jiahao answered.

  In this speech titled "The financialization and internationalization innovation path of private economy under the new economic situation", Zhang Jiahao elaborated on his "five dimensional thinking - human nature thinking, social thinking, political thinking, industrial thinking, and financial thinking". He said that in China, politics and economy are inseparable, and the original meaning of the term "economy" is to benefit the people and the world. Chinese dynasties have always focused on ensuring the stability of the country, with people's livelihoods as the core and enriching and nurturing the people as the foundation. In the thousands of years of development history, Chinese commercial civilization has nurtured and created a people-oriented economic ideology that has long been leading the world through rich economic practices and conceptual iterations. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, with the prosperity of the commodity economy, the concept of people-oriented economy has been further inherited and developed, gradually giving rise to traditional commercial culture in different periods, regions, and colorful forms.

  Jin merchants and Huizhou merchants are undoubtedly the leaders of the splendid stage of China's commercial civilization. The root of their success lies in their honest and trustworthy business spirit of continuous innovation and progress, both possessing Confucian ethical characteristics such as people-oriented, altruistic, beneficial to the world, professional dedication, credit, and integration. As the leader of the top ten traditional business groups, Jin merchants have dominated the business world for 500 years, leaving behind rich cultural and spiritual heritage. Especially known as the pioneer of modern banking, Rishengchang Bank has created a brilliant era and made a significant contribution to the history of finance in China and even the world.

  Behind the bustling and rich scene, Zhang Jiahao keenly discovered the top-notch resources hidden in this ancient city. He said that there are two business cards in the ancient city that are "world-class": one is the culture of commercial gangs, and the other is the culture of finance. Although the cultural relics of the Shang Gang are scattered throughout the country, only Pingyao has left a complete "city"; The spread of financial culture can be found in both the East and the West, but only Pingyao can be called the "East Wall Street". The only one that can travel through time and space and still be alive to this day is Pingyao, which combines both.

  Zhang Jiahao expressed his vision of "seeing again". "With these two uniquely original, scarce, unique, and exclusive cultural business cards, Pingyao can create a world-class" Wuzhen Conference "for business culture and a world-class" Boao Forum "for financial culture. These are two sets of exquisite equipment in the cultural treasure trove of Pingyao's ancient city."

  But at the same time, he also emphasized that "all merchants in the world must study", and each region has its own unique commercial and cultural characteristics. Even a single regional business group is not enough to describe the rich and profound connotations of Chinese commercial culture. Due to various reasons, the Jin merchants, Hui merchants, and other commercial gangs linked by region, blood ties, and rural friendship declined successively in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period. They created history, but all glory only belongs to that historical period of "liver and gallbladder, essence and blood imparted together". If we continue to speculate on the cold jokes of individual regional business groups, it is no longer appropriate in the current era of new economic globalization.

  "The ancient city of Pingyao is not only part of Shanxi, it has gone to the world; the ancient city of Pingyao is not only part of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has opened the future," said Zhang Jiahao, "in this sense, the business gang culture of the ancient city should be inclusive of the world; the financial culture of the ancient city should be inclusive of the world. The ancient city should not only bring together the outstanding descendants of the traditional Chinese business gang, and help the construction of Chinese path to modernization. More importantly, it should bring together the outstanding descendants of the world's traditional business gang, and help the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. We should not only exchange new civilization, new world, new culture, new ideas, but also carry out new finance, new technology Cooperation in new industries and new formats."

  "If the private economy is the new force, the new business group economy is the main force in the new force," Zhang Jiahao further explained, "The new business group economy will undoubtedly recreate China's commercial glory in future industries such as cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things, industrial Internet, biotechnology, aerospace technology, blockchain, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and augmented reality industries."

Using "3D mode" to "calm down" the ancient city

  After obtaining a clear positioning, Zhang Jiahao continued to prescribe a prescription for the ancient city.

  "Those who act alone are difficult to rise, and those who act alone are easy to follow." Zhang Jiahao quoted an ancient saying, saying that in the era of new economic globalization, the wisest choice is to clear cultural "bottlenecks", unblock commercial bloodlines, and rotate the "global circle of friends" through the three-dimensional model of "capital, industry, and talent".

  Pingyao Ancient City has the cultural heritage to create a new engine of global business economy, because the roots and souls of Eastern business culture and financial culture are all here.

  The first prescription proposed by Zhang Jiahao was to hold the "World Business Association Conference" with the theme of new technology, new industries, new capital, and new ecological cooperation and exchange, benchmarking against the Wuzhen World Internet Conference. Zhang Jiahao has listed a "business gang list" from a global perspective. He said that contemporary new business groups are leading the future development of the world economy. The Jewish business community leads the world's capital markets; The English business community not only led the first industrial revolution, but also basically controlled the world economy at that time. Its development in the coal mining and automotive industries is still strong to this day; The German Chamber of Commerce is the absolute king of the world's precision manufacturing industry; The Yamato business group is actually the Japanese business group. As the world's third-largest economy, Japan has many globally leading industries such as automobiles, intelligent robots, biotechnology, and animation; The French and Italian business groups are both leaders in the world of luxury brands, the Indian business group has the world's top IT talent, and the Arab business group leads the oil and energy industry.

  The Chinese business community should quickly take action, unite with business communities from other countries, and build our initiative, discourse power, and influence in global governance through high-level, high-level, and high-level exchanges and mutual learning. In this regard, the Shenzhen commercial gang is lively and lively, while the Zhejiang commercial gang is lively and lively, and the Chaoshan commercial gang is spicy and enthusiastic. They have already far ahead.

  During exchanges with attending experts, scholars, and local leaders, Huang Qifan, former mayor of Chongqing, Zong Liang, chief researcher of Bank of China, Secretary Chang Shuming of Jinzhong Municipal Party Committee, and Secretary Wei Jiangfeng of Pingyao County Party Committee highly recognized Chairman Zhang Jiahao's proposal to hold the "World Chamber of Commerce Conference". Secretary Chang Shuming said that in history, Shanxi merchants have achieved business worldwide, but now Shanxi has fallen behind and must catch up with others. Jinzhong has always focused on creating a high-quality business environment of "small government, big society", encouraging and supporting the economic development of business groups with good genetic inheritance. In the future, we will rely more on the profound cultural heritage of Shanxi merchants, carry out cooperation and exchanges through international platforms, and build the Shangbang economy into a new driving force for Shanxi's high-level opening and high-quality development.

  Zhang Jiahao integrated practicality and interactivity into his design. He said that it is recommended to launch the establishment of a global business alliance and a business school. The Europe, America and China Investment Promotion Association will integrate the world's top resources, attract the world's leading business groups to join, and drive the cooperation and win-win results of the new business groups of the "the Belt and Road" through the alliance. Driven by such a massive number of high-quality business elites, Pingyao Ancient City is bound to develop into a truly world-class "commercial capital".

  He added, "I also suggest creating a global ranking list for the development of business associations, conducting quantitative analysis of the development of global business associations, and publicly releasing development indices every year to promote healthy competition and orderly development of domestic and foreign business associations."

  The second prescription proposed by Zhang Jiahao is to hold the World Financial Summit Forum, benchmarking against the Boao Forum for Asia. He said that three years before the epidemic, I had prescribed a prescription for Pingyao Ancient City. This includes hosting the World Financial Summit Forum, the permanent venue of the Investment and Construction Forum, and the World Financial Culture Museum, creating the "Oriental Wall Street", and establishing the Pingyao Financial College (a financial vocational education and pre employment training base). These innovative designs have also been recognized and recognized by experts such as Huang Qifan and the leaders of Pingyao in Jinzhong. With the support and promotion of the Jinzhong Municipal Party Committee and Government, as well as the Pingyao County Party Committee and Government, the project has finally been signed and implemented.

  Zhang Jiahao has calculated an account for Pingyao, stating that hosting the "World Business Association Conference" and "World Financial Summit Forum" can bring at least 2 billion yuan in direct tourism revenue to the local area every year. "This is the Double Billion Project," said Zhang Jiahao. "The Double Billion Project can drive the Double Billion and Double Billion projects, and the implementation of each project will release market dividends worth billions. Where are the dividends? The four major service industries reshaped through incremental innovation - modern cultural and tourism services, financial education services, new industrial services, and smart life services."

Using "One System" to "Shape" the Ancient City

  At the "See Rishengchang again - Chinese Culture and Finance Pingyao Conference", Zhang Jiahao brought his work "Learn some finance every day". This book elaborates in detail on his intricate and intricate business philosophy system.

  Based on the energy divergence of this system, Zhangjiahao has actively promoted the transformation and landing of global capital, technology, and industry in China for many years, assisting local economic transformation and upgrading, and creating a series of new era urban business cards for China on the world stage.

  He said that by penetrating a city with ideas, you can not only systematically understand a region and several fields, but also connect points into lines to create different urban shaping systems.

  In Zhang Jiahao's thoughts, there is always a historical sentiment of "Jia but Haoru" or a sense of reality. It is both grand and concrete. It is both historical and practical. It is both Chinese and Western. Perhaps it can be further extended to say that it encompasses both the grand perspectives of Confucianism and Western philosophy, including observations of social and economic systems, as well as the practice of ideas and concepts; There is both insight into commercial structure and careful examination of capital processes; We have taken into account both the great industrial driving force and the agency of talent and the chance of development opportunities. It is precisely this historical perspective and sense of reality that ultimately gave depth and strength to Zhang Jiahao's comparative discourse analysis of Eastern and Western business.

  And his trip to the ancient city of Pingyao once again stirred up a wave of wisdom in the ocean of his thoughts. Zhang Jiahao said, "I can see the world value of Pingyao Ancient City in a deeper sense from the vastly different perspectives of the East and the West. Pingyao Ancient City is not just a city, it represents China's history and future. Moreover, it will inevitably occupy a center of gravity and a leading position in the world."
