The Life Style and Aesthetic Interest of Contemporary Chinese Entrepreneurs
Through this book, we can see the life and aesthetic interest of entrepreneurs, including the influence of Eastern philosophy and religion, the experience of modern and contemporary art and the views of art collections and luxury goods.
The balance between idealism and realism, the golden mean of Chinese entrepreneurs
In the book, the author said: “Most Chinese entrepreneurs have their own feelings and spirits, which may surpass some limited part of human beings themselves. We ourselves have our own internal pain, and we want to break away from it. And the process is to realize our ideals by transcending our own limitations.”
China is in the stage of rapid development and at this period, people have crazy pursuit on wealth. Social problems such as food safety and credit crisis are emerging one after another, which triggers social self- examination. In this special historical period, The Founder's Notes is not only a Book of science of success, which is a window to see the pursuit of wealth and success by Chinese entrepreneurs, but also a book of feelings and spirits, which could lead us to see the emotional persistence and pursuit of ideals by this group of people.
