Originally, a few good friends had agreed to go out to play today so as not to disturb everyone from reading. Long Jiuxiao woke up early to update the chapters for his comrades.
Early in the morning, Long Jiuxiao got up and started writing hard, speeding up the revision of chapters. It was so that everyone could see the new chapter in time.
I'll make it clear in advance that I'm not here to offer flowers.
Even though no one had given him flowers or gifts, Long Jiuxiao had been writing seriously and seriously! There was no delay at all.
Even if he didn't flaunt himself, Long Jiuxiao would still find time to update the chapters!
Long Jiuxiao's novel was definitely not a eunuch. Once he got excited, there would be no end to it.
Reading was a very good thing! People who read books have good habits. They should finish what they start and persevere. People who love reading have a future. A nation that loves reading must be an upward nation!
Especially after reading Long Jiuxiao's books, he was a noble and hardworking person!
The plan was not as fast as the change! In the end, the weather was not good. It rained heavily and the roads on the mountain were slippery. For safety reasons, the activities were canceled! But Long Jiuxiao didn't regret it.
Long Jiuxiao even joked with them,"
A child was disobedient and cried loudly. The child's mother said, If she cried again, she would be thrown out to feed the wolves. A wolf heard this and waited outside for a whole night. It was fruitless and turned away at dawn.
Seeing that no one had reacted, Long Jiuxiao added,"
The wolf was indignant! They were all liars!
In the 5000 years of history of the Celestial Empire, there were too many pasts and too many stories.
History was vast and colorful, and heroes and celebrities were as vast as stars.
There had been many successful politicians, businessmen, and heroes in the history of China.
Although the great river flowing to the east had swept away all the heroes of the ages, it had quietly settled down a dazzling pearl. Long Jiuxiao had unexpectedly found this pearl!
This pearl was Fan Li, the most perfect and successful person in the past five thousand years!
Why was Fan Li's life the most perfect and successful?
Let Long Jiuxiao describe it in detail!
The most perfect person in five thousand years
This person was the earliest business scientist and an economic scientist in China. At the same time, he was also a politician, a military strategist, and a ideologist. He was known as the Saint of Commerce of a generation, Fan Li.
In chapter 39," Making Money and Being an Official Without Mistakes ", Long Jiuxiao had said,"
In the history of the Celestial Empire, very few people could do what Fan Li did.
Being an official to the extreme, earning money to the extreme!
Therefore, Fan Li was the ancient man that Long Jiuxiao admired the most!
First of all, a wise politician
Because of the chaos and darkness of the Chu Country, those who were not nobles were not allowed to be officials. Therefore, Fan Li's talents were not recognized and valued. He was not appreciated by the world.
At that time, when the Wu and Yue countries were at war, Fan Li went to Wu and Yue with his best friend Wen Zhong.
As early as when Wu and Yue were fighting for hegemony, Fan Li had foresight. Fan Li and Wen Zhong had analyzed the situation of the world. At that time, they had predicted that only Wu and Yue would be able to compete for supremacy. Fan Li predicted things like a god. The first place they went to was the Wu Kingdom. It was a pity that he was another Monarch who didn't recognize Jing Shanyu. Fan Li and Wen Zhong had stayed in Wu for a while and were not put in an important position by the King of Wu, so they turned to Yue.
When the King of Yue, Gou Jian, was defeated, Fan Li bravely faced it and stepped forward to give advice to Gou Jian. He analyzed the situation and formulated plans. Not only did he give practical advice to Gou Jian, but he also took the lead. They were put in an important position by the King of Yue, Gou Jian. Only then did they have the opportunity to realize their political talents.
This showed that Gou Jian had good taste. Fan Li's political wisdom was also revealed.
Fan Li's political talent was closely related to the King of Yue's discerning eyes.
Before Gou Jian attacked Wu, Fan Li had advised him not to fight. But at that time, Gou Jian was crazy. He did not listen to any advice at all and returned in a miserable defeat.
After being hit by failure and setbacks. " A fall into a pit, a gain in one's wit." Gou Jian knew that the consequences of stubbornness were very serious, so he earnestly asked Fan Li for advice.
Fan Li suggested that Gou Jian rest and wait for an opportunity.
Fan Li had repeatedly delayed the King of Yue, Gou Jian, from destroying the State of Wu, causing Gou Jian to become angry.
Fan Li didn't show his emotions and tried to persuade him. He cleverly resolved Gou Jian's doubts with witty words.
"The heavens have come, but the human affairs have not ended.”
Then, he used the theory of " human affairs and heaven and earth are in harmony " to enlighten Gou Jian and let him patiently wait for an opportunity.
If not for this, he would have long been chopped by the hot-tempered Gou Jian!
Know what's good and what's bad
" Ten years of life, ten years of lessons." In the end, he helped Gou Jian defeat the King of Wu!
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. After the defeat of Fu Chai, the King of Wu, Gou Jian could not bear it and was soft-hearted. He did not want to kill him and wanted to give Fu Chai an entire fief so that Fu Chai could be his minister. The proud Fu Chai could not stand such failure and humiliation. He committed suicide in shame and anger.
This incident verified the famous saying: The winner was the one who survived until the end. The last one is king! The competition in the stock market was not about how good you were, but whether you could survive until the end.
When the typhoon passed, only the grass was qualified to laugh at the towering tree that fell beside it.
The final victory of Gou Jian and Fan Li can also be understood as the victory of Taoism.
After the Wu Kingdom was completely destroyed, it was natural to reward according to merit. Thus, Gou Jian held a grand celebration banquet to reward the soldiers and confer titles to the meritorious officials. Fan Li was the supreme general, who was below Gou Jian and above all officials.
This was a great thing, but Fan Li was very calm. He was not overwhelmed by the surprise, nor was he too pleased with himself.
Usually, the crafty rabbit died and the lackey was cooked.
His achievements were glorious, but his achievements would surpass his master's. Gou Jian couldn't help but be suspicious of him.
The Wu Kingdom, which posed the greatest threat to the State of Yue, had been defeated and destroyed. The other vassal kingdoms were either far away or the surrounding small kingdoms were very weak. To the State of Yue and Gou Jian, they were no threat at all.
It could be said that the world was at peace now.
In that case, those who had made great contributions would instead become a threat to the king. Therefore, it was imperative for him to retire!
In addition, he had been with Gou Jian for more than twenty years.
Gou Jian was a person who could share weal and woe, but not glory and wealth.
His official position was of the highest grade, and his achievements were higher than his master's. He would definitely attract Gou Jian's suspicion and resentment.
" When all the birds are gone, a good bow is hidden." It was a famous saying that had never changed since ancient times!
" When the cunning rabbit dies, the dog will be cooked." This was an unchanging philosophy!
At the critical moment, being able to think it through and see through was great wisdom!
Therefore, when Fan Li reached the peak of his political career, the first thing he thought of was to retire after achieving success. He would retire bravely and resign from his official position to Gou Jian. Gou Jian also tried to retain Fan Li on the condition of splitting the country equally. This was obviously a trap. How could the wise Fan Li not see it?
No matter how great the temptation was, he could not fall for it. Therefore, he had made up his mind to leave the State of Yue and take his beautiful lover, Xi Shi, to the Jianghu.
Before Fan Li left the State of Yue, he had left a letter to his best friend Wen Zhong, advising him repeatedly," The enemy country was broken, and the adviser died. Wen Zhong was advised to leave immediately, otherwise he would be killed.
It was a pity that Wen Zhong was lucky and did not make a wise choice in the face of high officials and high salaries.
The result proved that Fan Li had made a wise choice. It was wise for him to retire after achieving success. Not long after Fan Li left, Wen Zhong, whose contribution was second only to Fan Li, was killed by Gou Jian for no reason. What a great irony!
Wenzhong was a typical Confucian school. It was only right and proper to be loyal to the emperor. He believed that it was only right for him to be rewarded and rewarded. It was only right for him to repay the king's kindness.
He didn't think about the problem from more angles, he didn't think about the deeper content, and he didn't see through the law of development of things. In the end, he led to a fatal disaster.
However, Fan Li was different. He relied on his calm mind, extraordinary wisdom, and keen vision to grasp the laws of development from the appearance of things. He saw their essence and thought of the deep-rooted bad habits of human nature.
He saw through everything and retreated before the danger came, escaping the tiger's mouth in time. If Lu Buwei and Li Siru could be like Fan Li, clear-headed and calm, able to see the pros and cons clearly, not blinded by the benefits, and retire in time, they would definitely not be beheaded.
Fan Li, who had successfully retired, once again fought in the Shang Sea and obtained an unprecedented victory!
He went into politics first and then into business. He could easily handle both different industries.
Being an official to the extreme, earning money to the extreme! Awesome!
He was rich and generous, saving the people from fire and water. He retired after success and returned with a beauty in his arms. He had great ambitions and could even make the country rich and the people strong, stabilize the country, and unify the country.
In the first half of his life, he was able to assist a country that was on the verge of extinction, complete the dream of restoring the country, and become one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period. When his political career reached the peak, he stopped in time and retired at the right time.
He spent the rest of his life in business, and in 19 years, he became the richest man in the world three times. His wealth exceeded thousands of gold. When the country was in danger, when the people were displaced, they gave away all their wealth to help the people. Later, he was regarded as the "God of Wealth" by the world. He built a temple statue and burned incense to worship him.
Throughout history, Fan Li was the politician and entrepreneur who truly understood China. It could even be said that he was a person who truly understood the heavenly secrets.
History had never seen such a person who was an official and a minister. He was a peerless genius who could do business quickly and become rich. He did not record much and did not paint much. He even treasured ink as much as gold. Perhaps it was because the secrets of the heavens could not be revealed.
How did one become a tycoon when doing business in the sea?
Fan Li brought his wife, children, disciples, and followers to Qi State. In order to conceal his identity, he changed his name to Chiyi Zipi and began another exciting and glorious life journey.
In the Qi Kingdom, Fan Li bought a piece of land near the sea. He cultivated the land and started fishing and salt pans.
Fan Li worked hard with his wife and children. He personally went to the fields to cultivate, put on cloth clothes, and fed coarse food. He could even produce first-class crops.
Fan Li was a complete opposite of the Shang clan's meticulous calculation, labor, and exploitation. Kindness and love.
When there was a decrease in production in a disaster year, he would reduce the rent. His reputation of being kind had long spread. At the same time, he opened a porridge shop to relieve the victims. Charity! He was praised by later generations as "the rich and virtuous."
Once, Fan Li had a cash flow problem and borrowed 100,000 yuan from a rich family.
A year later, the rich man went out to collect debts with the IOU of each family. He accidentally dropped his parcel into the river, and the IOU and travel expenses of hundreds of thousands of money were gone. Coincidentally, he came to Fan Li's house to seek shelter. Without a receipt, not only did Fan Li pay back the money with interest, but he also gave an extra sum of money to the rich man.
Good news spread like wildfire! Fan Li's reputation for benevolence and honesty spread throughout the world. (It must be an alias for the sake of invisibility.)
After that, in order to expand his business, Fan Li was short of funds three times. All the wealthy families took the initiative to send money to him, helping him tide over the crisis and seize the opportunity.
In just a few years, Fan Li had become the richest man in Qi State.
This news reached the ears of the Qi Kingdom's monarch. The King of Qi had hired Fan Li as the Prime Minister.
During his time as Prime Minister, Fan Li had vigorously developed the economy and promoted trade between Qi State and the other vassal states. He had helped Qi State overcome the problem of a shortage of resources during the disaster years. Thus, he had laid the foundation for Qi State's economic and cultural prosperity.
Three years later, the Qi Kingdom underwent a huge change. The country was rich and the people were strong. The people worshipped Fan Li as a god and the people were praising him.
At this moment, Fan Li resigned again. He hung up his seal and sealed the gold, then distributed all his wealth to his friends and poor people. Then, he took his wife and children and left Qi State.
Fan Li was the model of a successful retreat, and twice in a row. He knew that when things reached an extreme, they would reverse. When good things reached an extreme, they would develop in the opposite direction. Instead of waiting for the situation to reverse, it was better to take the initiative at the right time.
This logic was simple, but how many people could do it in front of huge fame and fortune?
This was because once one succeeded, one's self-confidence would also increase. It was rare for one to take the initiative to retreat. There were very few entrepreneurs nowadays who would retreat in a rush. It seemed that business was a road that could not be turned back, and the development of enterprises sometimes required turning back and reflecting. Retreat was to advance better, and reflect was to be wiser. Just like Fan Li's brave retreat, this was not a passive thought of Taoism, but a wise action. Everything would fall when it reached its peak. The reason why one took the initiative to retreat at the peak was to have the opportunity to climb other peaks, not to fall heavily and be shattered into pieces.
Fan Li migrated three times in his life to avoid fame and fortune, but fame and fortune followed him all the time. The philosophy of this is worthy of deep thought for today's entrepreneurs.
In his life, Fan Li had been promoted to the highest rank twice.
Three times, his wealth exceeded thousands of gold, which was even more awesome! The God of Wealth was indeed different.
Every time, he would spend thousands of gold and ten thousand gold to help the world, but not long after, he would quickly spend thousands of gold again.
When he was in politics, Fan Li followed the loyalty of an official to the extreme. When he was in business, he did the conscience of a businessman. He also did it to the extreme!
Fan Li pursued a harmonious Heavenly Dao, Earth Dao, and Human Dao.
He said,"Heaven demands that we be full but not excessive (complacency begets loss), full of spirit but not arrogant (arrogance begets defeat), toil but not boast of merit (modesty and beauty)."”
This included the courage of Confucianism to worry about the world first, as well as the Taoist thought of retiring after success.
Looking at his life, Fan Li had vividly reflected these points in his politics, wars, and business activities.
Fan Li was truly a wise man who had a great plan in his heart and sympathized with the world. In his seventies, his family was as rich as a country, and he had many children and grandchildren. He died at the age of 88 without any illness, and his descendants were honored as Tao Zhu Gong.
Fan Li
Qingxu Gongxiu
The king of Wu was fond of beautiful women, and the beauty of the village was sought after.
He worked in the pottery industry to make profits, and Ba Yue retired early because of his high achievements.
The two countries are willing to throw away their seals, and the waves of the five lakes are floating in small boats.
Casting gold, the original master of the empty image, phoenix lift Hong Ming can not stay.
Praise Xi Shi and Fan Li
A pair of mandarin ducks for the country,
Drunken dance in the sands of Huanxi in the grand court.
In the palace of Wu all the tears of those who leave are shed,
I ride a boat with leaves, swaying the sunset glow.
This was a poem by a predecessor. Next, let's take a look at Long Jiuxiao's poem!
Here, Long Jiuxiao had a poem as proof:
When the army was defeated, Ji met with much shame,
lying on firewood to help the more ambitious it is difficult to grind.
I believed in my promise and followed Gou Jian,
I have great ambition to help restore the country.
When Fan Li's success was accomplished, he lived in seclusion in the village,
Wu Xu remonstrated and died, his head hanging in the city.
With a hundred military exploits, where will I retire? -
A small boat with a leaf sings in the evening maples.
I don't covet the credit of pacifying Wu and Ba Yue,
how can I complain about Gusu for a thousand years?
I gaze upon the land of gulls and egrets in the desert,
the cloud lies in the misty waves, where Xiao and Xiang lie.
Knowing the pros and cons, I gaze intently,
I know how to advance and retreat, and how to bring along a delicate maiden.
On the lakes and mountains I'm pleased with myself, colorful clouds return,
In the depths of the five lakes, they gave each other amorous glances.
Friends,"","", support me! Thank you!
