Which well-known companies once appeared in the Qing Dynasty, and which are the real century-old brands?

There were many avant-garde gadgets in the Qing Dynasty, which were novel when they first flowed into China, and many people were scared. Take Cixi as an example, these new gadgets are also at a loss, because there are many jokes.

When the train was introduced to China, Cixi was curious and wanted to have a try. Officials sent someone to decorate the train slightly to welcome Cixi. Upon arrival, Cixi was frightened by the sound of the train running and thought it was a monster who refused to ride again. After coming back, she also had nightmares every day, dreaming of the fall of the Qing Dynasty. Cixi is more and more afraid of trains and thinks that trains are ominous. So there was a scene of Cixi sitting on a human-powered train, which was very ridiculous. There are also cars. Cixi was very happy when she received the tribute in the car, but in the end she didn't really get on the bus, because when Cixi got on the bus, she actually asked the driver to drive on her knees, which made it impossible to drive at all. In addition, the driver is not from China, and even if he agrees, he will not drive. Cixi finally returned to the sedan chair and told others that "foreign things" were useless. From these two examples, we can see the depth of conservatism at that time and the degree of commercial development at that time.

As we all know, people at that time were imprisoned by old ideas all the time, and domestic development was extremely slow. There are only one or two large enterprises, all of which are traditional industries, far less than those abroad. Before the Qing dynasty was civilized, people had been at the forefront of the world.

During Guangxu period, IBM was born in the United States and gradually became the largest information technology company in the world. From the initial commercial typewriter business to computer-related business, it has a deep relationship with China. China's first overseas call was made through IBM technology, which opened up new channels for China to contact with the world.

In the sixth year of Guangxu, a manufacturing company appeared quietly. It is the largest image producer and supplier in the world. Although it was declared bankrupt on 20 12 under the impact of the times, its glorious age cannot be ignored. For a long time, Kodak was synonymous with images.

1889, Guangxu 15, Japan founded a world-famous entertainment manufacturer, which was also highly praised by children more than ten years ago. Those gorgeous game pictures are deeply imprinted on the psychology of the older generation. However, Nintendo's initial main products were card games such as poker, but this did not affect Nintendo's rapid development.

Many large companies that appeared in the Qing Dynasty are still leading figures in the industry, and their technology is beyond the reach of ordinary companies. On the other hand, there are also large-scale technology companies in China, but none of them are century-old brands, so they lost to others in technology precipitation and innovation. China's century-old brands are mostly traditional manufacturing industries. I hope that China will make great progress in the future and realize that the latecomers will catch up.
