Chiang Zhao-Cong

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chiang Zhao-Cong (Traditional Chinese: 蔣肇聰, November 10, 1842 – August 24, 1895), nicknamed Ming Huo, was the father of Chiang Kai-shek.[1] After his father, Chiang Siq-ian's death, he took over the household and managed the family business for several years, contributing to the increasing wealth of the Jiang family. He had an older brother.[2] He was born in Xikou, Fenghua, Zhejiang.

His father Chiang Siq-ian was involved in the salt industry, and as a result, the family was prosperous. Chiang Zhao-Cong was known for being scheming, shrewd, and capable.[3] To expand his salt shop business, he not only sold salt,[4] rice, and wine, but also other products such as vegetables, lime,[5][6]and more.[7]
