Are Fan Li and Wen Zi, a famous scholar in Chu State, friends? At that time, countries were at odds, contending for hegemony, and Chu's politics was unclear, so talents could not be reused? So, after discussion, they came to Yue? After Fan Li and Wen Zi entered Vietnam, they were highly valued by Gou Jian, the King of Yue, who made Fan Li a doctor and promoted him to be a general.
Fan Li was loyal to Gou Jian, made suggestions, and worked with Wen Zi to make good plans for Yue, which promoted the prosperity of Yue? Finally, he wiped out his old enemy Wu, and Gou Jian became the overlord?
The monarch and ministers of the state of Yue gave a banquet to celebrate their success. The ministers sang and laughed and were very happy? At this point, Gou Jian is the only one who has no face? When Fan Li saw it, he sighed to himself. After careful consideration, he decided to leave quietly with his family?
Before he left, Fan Li warned, "In order to prosper and destroy the State of Wu, Gou Jian did not hesitate to give up his salary and courage? Now I got what I wanted, but I don't want to give the credit to the minister. Are there any clues of doubt and jealousy? It seems that we can only share weal and woe with the King of Yue, but we can't share happiness. It's hard to last under your great name. If we don't get back as soon as possible, there will be no place to die in the future? "
Wen Zi didn't elope with Fan Li? Later, Gou Jian really gave Wenzhong a sword and made him commit suicide? Did Wen Zi regret not listening to Fan Li before she died?
After Fan Li arrived in Qi by boat, he remained anonymous and called himself "Yi Zi Yi Pi"? In the state of Qi, Fan Li chose a piece of land by the sea, planted land with his son, grew food and boiled salt with seawater. He arrives at sunrise and returns at sunset. In a few years, he managed hundreds of thousands of property and became a local millionaire.
Later, when the people of Qi heard about it, they thought that this man was a wizard and wanted to appoint him as a photo? However, Fan Li returned the photo stamp to Qi Jun and distributed most of his wealth to his neighbors, and the family moved to another place?
This time, Fan Li came to the land of "pottery", which is now Dingtao in Shandong. At that time, there were many merchants and shops in Tao Di, and there were frequent business contacts? He thinks pottery is the center of the world, or is it a transaction? A commercial artery for exchanging needed goods? This is a good place to do business, so I'll settle down first and call myself "Tao Zhugong"?
According to legend, Fan Li once came to a town fair to do business? At that time, the town was very lively, with all kinds of shops and people coming and going. Even under the big tree, there are grocery stalls, including fur, meat and all kinds of mountain products?
There is a big lake beside the town. When Fan Li asked people, he knew that this was the ancient Shenlu Post at the foot of Xiong 'er Mountain, where Dayu controlled water.
At that time, Yu Wang led migrant workers to cut mountains and dredge rivers in the north corner of Shandong Province, which caused the water level to drop after Luoshui flowed eastward, leaving a large lake of dozens of miles, and people lived and worked in lakeside towns?
Fan Li learned that the local area is rich in delicious food and game? Native products such as meat, fur, grain and medicinal materials, but farmers lack salt? Ge ma bu yi daily necessities, etc. He thinks this is a good opportunity to do business?
So Fan Li opened a local grocery store and began to buy mountain products? The price of the mountain products he bought was very high, and word of mouth spread that all the suppliers had come here. In less than a month, mountain products was full of big warehouse.
These purchased goods sold out quickly, and he made a lot of money by calculating a round-trip profit? Later, local farmers also came to wholesale some salt and daily necessities and went to the countryside to sell or exchange goods, and learned to do business, and the people in this place gradually became rich?
Once, a mountain products shop caught fire, and Fan Li's shop was next door. As a result, the fish pond was destroyed and Fan Li's shop caught fire. Then, one by one, all the shops in the street caught fire?
People in the town were busy putting out the fire, but instead of putting out the fire, Fan Li took the money and lured people to the nearby town to buy bamboo, wood and bricks? Reed rafters and other building materials?
After the fire, everything was in ruins, and everyone began to build new houses. Fan Li bought a lot of bamboo and wood bricks, which just came in handy. People come to Fan Li to buy these building materials?
Fan Li's burned shop suffered heavy losses, but the money earned by selling bricks and tiles was dozens of times the value of the shop, which also met the needs of the people?
Fan Li managed mountain products for several years and accumulated hundreds of thousands of wealth. He gave most of his wealth to his friends and neighbors, and gave a lot of money to the poor. People are grateful? In memory of this great businessman, the local county magistrate named the town where Fan Li did business as "Fan Li Town"?
