The following is a summary of Mr. Li Zhirong's speech——
From ancient times up to now, Gugong is the only figure that could transcend Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. He is called "Martial sage" in Confucianism, "Emperor" in Taoism and "Samghārama Bodhisattva" in Buddhism. After more than 1800 years of advocation and inheritance, his spirit of loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, courage and integrity has become a belief.
I have been engaged in the financial industry for 25 years and handled more than 30000 cases. Throughout the world, when evaluating a loan application, and investment and financing project, we would consider the "5 Cs", namely "character, capacity, capital, condition and collateral". Later, two Cs have been added, namely "control" and "common business sense". So it can be seen that character is pivotal!

In ancient times, businessmen advocated that "possess no unrighteous fortune", the one who has no honesty and righteousness are not capable of running a business, so there is also saying that "unrighteous fortune would be gone as flowing water".
Businessmen believe that only by challenging themselves according to Guangong's criteria can they "pass on loyalty and righteousness in the family for a long time and maintain wealth for thousands of years". This is the cornerstone for running businesses remain invincible in the business world. Businessmen extol Guangong's loyalty and integrity, which is also a reminder time and again to people that "a real man will obtain wealth in a right way."
