At this moment, Fu Hua, who is in Hong Kong, followed Qiao Yuzhen into the home of an old man. The old man’s surname is a bit unusual. The surname is district, and Hong Kong people call it the uncle. According to Qiao Yuzhen, Uncle Ou is the most famous master of Yi-learning in Hong Kong, and he has intersections with many wealthy individuals. For example, Ou Bo is a very important member of Li Keran's royal Fengshui team.
One of the most rumored things about Uncle Gu is that once a rich man from the magic city came to Hong Kong to ask him to calculate his fate. Uncle Ward helped him sort out the eight characters and told him that he could not go back to the magic capital again, because the man’s eight-character chart indicated that he was in prison and his position was in the direction of the magic capital. I'm going to jail soon.
Although the rich man also heard that Ou Bo was very knowledgeable in Yi learning and the calculation was very accurate, but he did not believe in the calculation of Ou Bo. He thought in his heart that Ou Bo was deliberately saying that his disaster was imminent, so as to induce him to spend money to resolve it. Besides, his company's business center is in the magic city. There are many things that need to be dealt with. It is impossible to stay in Hong Kong just for one life.
So this guy returned to the magic city and was arrested by the relevant authorities as soon as he went back. Later, he was sentenced to 18 years in prison for economic crimes and has not been released yet. If this guy doesn't return to the Demon Capital, the ten-year prison sentence may have passed.
Fu Hua was skeptical of these things, especially the matter of the guy in the magic city, he felt that there were mostly deductive elements. Over the years, he has also met several famous masters, but most of the people who play the mystery, some of the calculations are mostly inaccurate.
But Qiao Yuzhen believed in these things. Fu Hua remembered that Qiao Yuzhen once said that she had gone to Thailand to worship the White Dragon King, and believed that the calculations given to her by the White Dragon King were very efficacious. This time, Qiao Yuzhen brought him to visit Uncle Ou because Fu Hua had a lot of drinks with Hu Junsen and Jiang Yu at noon yesterday. When he went back to Qiao Yuzhen’s home, he said in front of Qiao Yuzhen that he didn’t know where the company should go next. To develop.
So Qiao Yuzhen arranged for him to come to Uncle Ward to answer questions. Fu Hua didn't refuse this, because although he didn't believe in Yi Xue very much, many people cheated money under the guise of Yi Xue. But he was still very interested in Uncle Gu. He felt that being able to gain the trust of those rich men meant that Uncle Gu was a wise person.
Those rich and powerful are all human beings, they don't just believe in one person easily. To be able to make these rich people so trust, there should be a set in itself. Fu Hua came to see this uncle with the mentality of seeing a wise elder.
When he entered Uncle Ou's house, Fu Hua felt that he was right this time. Because the furnishings of Uncle Ou’s house look very concise, there are no geomantic objects such as geodes, compasses, and so on. Instead, they just set up a case, a grand teacher’s chair, and a few old books on the case. There are four screens hanging on the wall behind him, all paintings that look old.
This decoration is more like a literati's study, rather than a feng shui array set up by a feng shui fortune teller. People who really know how to do it don't show their abilities with those things that look like feng shui. Lao Tzu puts it well, he is straightforward, clumsy, clumsy, and arguing. A truly capable person will not show his ability to the surface. Only the kind of people who don't fill up to half a bottle will need some foreign objects to show off.
While shaking hands, Fu Hua noticed that Uncle Qu was not tall, he was in his sixties, his cheeks were extremely thin, and he seemed to be sick. When he noticed that Fu Hua was staring at him, he smiled and said, "Mr. Fu doesn’t need to look so carefully. I’m sick and terminally ill. Several good friends helped me contact some domestic and foreign experts for consultation. , I think I will not live for more than three months."
Qiao Yuzhen said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Uncle Ward, your body is in this condition, and we're still here to disturb you."
"Ms. Qiao, please don't say that. I want to see you. I really want to find someone to talk to or something. Otherwise, I can only stay alone and wait for death. On the contrary, I think I will let you It’s a little embarrassing to see my scary look."
"Your complexion looks okay," Fu Hua said with a smile, "It seems that you don't care much about life and death."
Uncle Gu shook his head: "I can't say that I don't care at all. I don't care about life and death. That is something that only sages can do. I still feel a little uneasy in my heart now, and I don't know what this person will be like. Feeling like this. But birth, old age, sickness and death are the inevitable laws of life, things that saints can’t escape, naturally I only have to accept them.”
Having said this, Uncle Gu looked at Fu Hua a few times: "Mr. Fu has a gloomy expression between his eyebrows. You are here to see me this time. What do you want to ask?"
Fu Hua nodded: "You are correct, yes, I have been a bit slow in my career recently, and I want to ask you to give you directions. Do I need to provide you with any birthday characters?"
Uncle Gu shook his head: "No need, this is not to say that the birth date is not accurate. It is the experience accumulated by our ancestors over the years, and it naturally makes sense. It's just that I don't have much energy to help you in detail. After the calculation, you can tell me about your confusion and see if my old man can help you out."
Fu Hua did not want to say that he had to help him arrange the horoscopes and play with those mysterious things. On the contrary, he was willing to let him use his wisdom to help him solve the puzzles, so he told the district about the bottleneck encountered in the company's development. Uncle listened, said that the entire real estate industry is now in a downward trend. His company has just launched a project, and there is no direction in his mind about what to do next.
After listening to what he had said, Uncle Ward looked out the window and didn't speak for a long time. Fu Hua and Qiao Yuzhen didn't know what he was thinking, and they didn't dare to disturb his thoughts. After a while, Uncle Gu said, "I'm sorry, I was a little lost."
"I remembered when my parents brought me to Hong Kong when I was young. At that time, Hong Kong was not as prosperous as it is now, and the streets were not so crowded. The houses were small and shabby. Hehe, the old people said that people were about to die. At that time, things that happened in the past will reappear in my mind like acting in a movie. It turned out to be so."
When talking about this, Uncle Gu glanced at Fu Hua, smiled and said, "I'm sorry. I'm a little off topic. Mr. Fu, I already understand your situation by and large. I can't tell you now. How do you do it in one step is the most correct. Nothing in this world is absolutely correct, but I can give you an idea to solve the problem."
Fu Hua looked at Uncle Qu and said, "Say."
Uncle Ou said: "In Mandarin, it is said that Jia people use their skins in the summer, and in the winter they are rich in 絺, in drought, they are in boats, and water is in vehicles, just to wait for the lack. You understand what I mean
Fu Hua nodded. He knew that the words that Uncle Gu told her were from a passage in Mandarin that had crossed the doctor’s language and entered the remonstrance to the king of Yue Goujian. It meant that, I’ve heard that merchants save fur in advance in summer. Store summer cloth in advance in winter, prepare boats in advance for dry roads, and prepare vehicles in advance for waterways, so that they can be used when needed.
This sentence was originally written to advise Goujian. Even if there is no foreign trouble in a country, strategic ministers and brave soldiers cannot fail to train and choose in advance. Just like the rain gear like a hat, you must use it when it rains. However, Sima Qian later extended it as a standard for businessmen to follow in their business activities in the Historical Records of Commodities and Biographies.
"If you understand this, you should know how to choose. In fact, there is no mystery about doing business. It can be summed up in four simple words. Buy cheap and sell expensive. I think what value investment is popular in society nowadays. The idea, what Buffett Graham's, seems to be very esoteric, but in fact, our ancestors have long understood this truth. The most expensive is the opposite of the cheap, and the cheap is the opposite of the expensive. Expensive is like dung. The cheap is like a jade. Money is like running water."
Fu Hua understood what Uncle Gu wanted to express. He was actually telling him that the market is cyclical. Although the real estate industry he works in is in a low ebb, things will be reversed, and there will always be a time to regain the prosperity. And those industries that are currently hot will have their decline to a moment. Don't choose those hot industries because of the temporary rise and fall.
Although the real estate industry is at a low ebb, it is precisely because it is at a low ebb that it gives people a chance to pick up a bargain. With funds in his hand, he can take advantage of this time to charge low prices for projects that cannot be carried out due to funding difficulties. Conversely, if he enters those hot projects at this time, not only will he have to pay high costs, but he will also have to pay high tuition fees because he is not familiar with the industry.
This principle seems very simple, but there are really few people who can fully understand it. The old man in front of him is really a wise man. A few simple words will let him start. Fu Hua is no longer confused now, knowing what to do next.
Fu Hua smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Gu, I know what choice I should make."
"Don't thank me, it's because you have enough savvy." At this point, Uncle Ward glanced at him again, "I also want to remind you that there are many monsters in this world. If you know how to do it, you have to Persevere, believe that your judgment is correct, and don’t be fooled by the prospects of some small flowers. Some things just sound very good, but if you really believe them, you will find that the more the things are, the more they will be. It’s a trap that will only sink your feet in mud."
