Butler and Company is a foreign enterprise that entered Ningbo and has been conducting business in shipping, sugar industry, and insurance for over 50 years. As trade gradually expanded, foreign merchants from various countries established different foreign firms along the north bank. Among the first to open were firms from the United States and the United Kingdom, such as Key Chang, Xun Chang, Yuan Chang, and Guang Yuan, dealing in various foreign goods. They extensively acquired real estate and constructed foreign medicine warehouses, churches, and residences.
