How it's used

This term carries a formal and professional tone, often appearing in news reports or business discussions. Unlike casual terms for business people, it specifically highlights the spirit of innovation and risk taking rather than just owning a shop or managing a store. It is rarely used in casual conversation between friends unless discussing someone's professional achievements or career path.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe a small business owner or a shopkeeper, as it implies a higher level of scale and innovation. For a regular business person or merchant, terms like 老闆 or 商人 are much more natural and appropriate.
