How did the Pinzhong Liquan allusion come from?

Zhang Bishi, also known as Zhenxun and Zhaoxie, was a native of Dabu, Guangdong. A great overseas Chinese businessman in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, he is famous for founding Yantai Changyu Brewing Company. Zhang Bishi founded a brewing company, which is closely related to his early experience in opening a small hotel. When he was working in Nanyang, an overseas Chinese who owned a hotel appreciated his talents and recruited him as his son-in-law. After his father-in-law passed away, he inherited the hotel business. There was a young Dutch officer who often came to the hotel to drink. Sometimes he would not pay and would quarrel with the hotel clerk. Zhang Bishi saw that the young officer did not look like a rogue, and he suspected that he had some unspeakable difficulties in his heart, so he asked the waiter not to charge him any more money for drinks. Later, the officer asked the store clerk why he was not charged for the wine. The store clerk told him what Zhang Bishi said, and he was deeply moved. A few years later, this officer was promoted to the local governor of the Netherlands, and he and Zhang Bishi became sworn friends. Various businesses later founded by Zhang Bishi received strong support from the governor, such as the Yuhe Reclamation Company, Dongxing Company, Guangfu Ocean Shipping Company, etc. founded successively in Nanyang. His steamship company sails to Singapore, Hong Kong and other places. At that time, Chinese people were discriminated against. He publicly declared that he served the Chinese people and refused to allow Germans to ride. This forced the Deutsche Post Line to cancel the regulations that discriminated against Chinese people, which greatly boosted the ambition of the Chinese people. Every business started by Zhang Bishi was successful and he became the richest man in Nanyang. In 1891, Zhang Bishi was invited by Sheng Xuanhuai, the Minister of Railway Supervision of the Qing government, to Yantai, Shandong Province to discuss the construction of railways and other matters. He mentioned that Yantai was rich in grapes, with high quality and low price. Zhang Bishi, who had opened a hotel in his early years, had a special feeling for wine, so he The idea of ??setting up a brewing company in Yantai came up. The next year, he invested more than three million taels of silver to build a brewing company. In 1894, Changyu Grape Winery Company was officially opened. It was the largest winery company in the Far East at that time. At that time, China had not yet mastered the technology of making wine. Zhang Bishi successively hired five technicians from Britain, the Netherlands, Austria, Italy and other countries, but they always kept the secret of winemaking. Later, they invited an Italian technician named Bardistucci to reveal the secret of winemaking. After years of hard work, we have finally produced high-quality brandy and wine that are comparable to foreign famous brands. In 1912, Sun Yat-sen came to visit the company. After tasting the wine, he personally wrote the four characters "Pin Chong Liquan" as a gift. In 1915, Zhang Bishi took the brandy brewed by the company to participate in the Panama-Pacific International Wine Competition held in San Francisco, USA, and won the gold medal and the highest quality certificate, becoming "a symbol of China's scientific and cultural progress." The company printed the medal in miniature on its trademark and called it "Gold Medal Brandy." For decades, Changyu Company's brandy and wine have been sold all over the world and are well-known around the world.
