Shameless

Chapter 195: Grandmaster

Views:

Gong Baibao has been in prison and run across the docks. He knows a little bit about the art of pretending, and he has also seen some really capable masters in the old world. He can be regarded as a person who has been in the world. Li Muye's plan was not complicated. The reason why he was able to bluff him was all because of the specific details that Ye Hong had discussed with Lu Yuan. From a psychological perspective, every step is arranged, every detail that may affect Gong Baibao's judgment is taken into consideration, and implemented into the entire plan.

Before he met Ye Hongyou, he was already half-hearted in the mood of pilgrimage, convinced that this prophetic doctor Ye would definitely be able to cure his son's illness.

The room was lit with sandalwood, the finest Nanyang products, refreshing. Ye Hong sat cross-legged on the futon again, with a half-foot-thick Tripitaka in his hand. A gold-inlaid jade bookmark was exposed in the middle. It seemed that the book had been closed not long ago and he had just read it somewhere. It is not necessary to look at the content of the scriptures, but just looking at the thickness will make people awe-inspiring.

Ye Hong, who looked like he was only in his thirties or forties, was wearing a layman's uniform. He was holding a string of turquoise beads in his hand and looking at Gong Baibao with a kind smile. His eyes revealed the wisdom of seeing through the world. He pointed to the futon opposite and said, "Sit down."

Gong Baibao cautiously wanted to give a gift, but was stopped by Ye Hong.

"Respect is in the heart and not in the form. If I am virtuous, you will naturally respect me. If I am incompetent, even if you are polite now, you will be rude later, so there is no need to be polite."

"Master Ye, please save my son no matter what." Gong Baibao didn't dare to sit down, so he knelt on the futon and held his son's hand.

"You don't have to worry. This child is not a short-lived person. He has a miscellaneous disease rather than a terminal illness that cannot be cured." Ye Hong waved the child closer again, touched the child's forehead with his hand, and said: " The turbid divine light is filled with evil and filthy things." He looked at Gong Baibao again and asked, "Does this child often have headaches and convulsions? Whenever he gets sick, it looks like epilepsy, and he must be in unbearable pain?"

"That's absolutely right!" Gong Baibao gave a thumbs up and praised: "You are really a miracle doctor. You can tell the child's symptoms with just one touch. It seems that my son is saved."

Ye Hong waved his hand again and said: "That's not necessarily the case. We can only help him relieve his pain for the time being." After saying that, he pressed his hand on the child's forehead and asked: "How does it feel?"

The little boy said: "It's warm and sizzling, but now it seems to be cool again."

Ye Hong nodded again with satisfaction, picked up the brush, and Zalimengan on the side immediately handed over a piece of rice paper, scrawled a dot on it and wrote a prescription, saying: "This child's illness is strange, and I can't help it." To eradicate it, we can only prescribe a prescription to relieve the pain, and after seven or forty-nine days, there will be no more pain."

"What do you mean?" Gong Baibao's eyes widened. Looking at Ye Hong's eyes that were both cold and pitiful, he asked in a trembling voice: "Chief Immortal, is my son hopeless? Didn't you just say this?" Isn’t the child short-lived?”

Ye Hong said again: "The karma is not on him, but the retribution is on him. You have a piece of ill-gotten wealth that is too shady, which damages your moral character and destroys the ethics of heaven. But you are protected by the Seven Killing Stars, and you are obsessed with revenge." Thoughts of retribution are not on you, so I found the child on his head. This is destiny. Unless the girl Qiaoshu Bodhi comes to rescue me, this child cannot be kept in any case. You’d better do it while you are still young. Plan it."

He waved his hand ruthlessly and said to Zalimengan: "Send Mr. Gong out and greet the next person."

Wherever Gong Baibao was willing to go, he stayed still and said: "I am already a five-year-old man. I have been exhausted by wine and sex. How can I plant a second seedling? Old Immortal, you It's better to do something good and show the disciple a clear path, how can I save my son?"

"You have the temperament to give up your life rather than your wealth. This method is too difficult for you, so I don't want to tell you, which will only increase your troubles." Ye Hong sighed again, and said: "Seeing that you are so sincere For your sake, I’ll just say a little more and explain it to you.”

Gong Baibao hurriedly kowtowed to the ground and said, "Please give me some advice from the old immortal."

"Years ago, you robbed a piece of property in the wharf market with all kinds of tricks. The family you took away the property from was later found guilty. That family was fine. It was just that they had a Baojia statue enshrined in their family for generations. The evildoer was grudged about this, and that thing couldn't help your Seven Kills Palace of Life, so he wrote down his hatred, and finally landed on your son." Ye Hong said in a serious tone: "Now this thing is entrenched in your son's Palace of Life. , absorbing the child's true Yang Fire, and once the Yang Fire is extinguished, the child's soul will return to the Paradise of Paradise."

Gong Baibao's complexion changed drastically, and he was secretly shocked. That happened many years ago, but this Mr. Ye seemed to have experienced it personally, and his words were true to every word. He hurriedly kowtowed, knelt and crawled until Ye Hong came closer and said: "Old Immortal, the sinner knows that he is wrong, but for the sake of being a single person in the sinner's family for three generations, please show him a clear path, no matter what the price." , everyone must be willing to do so.”

Ye Hong was embarrassed at first, and then he sighed and said: "It's rare for you to be sincere and love your son so much. I will show you a way to resolve it. You can do whatever you want." Then he said: "Misfortune comes from wealth. Come on, start with money. First of all, you have to donate money in order to be virtuous, that is, donate money to charity to accumulate virtue and wash away your sins. Secondly, you have to sell the property that brings disaster at a price not higher than the purchase price. There is a point in selling. , the buyer can only be the daughter of Qiaoshu Bodhi, only in this way will the curse be willing to leave your son's body."

He also warned: "Remember, it must not be higher than the original purchase price."

Gong Baibao had some doubts and asked: "You asked me to make a donation. Are you going to borrow the money for me to offer flowers to Buddha?"

Ye Hong said solemnly, "We want to hold a formal donation ceremony and donate the money to those who really need it. This is the real accumulation of merit."

Any charlatan, no matter how much preparation is laid ahead, will inevitably show his fox tail at this moment, but this Master Ye is obviously not that kind, and he will not get involved at all.

"I understand." Gong Baibao sighed in admiration.

"There is no problem in selling the lamp city, but where can I find this Qiaoshu Bodhi Girl?" Gong Baibao said: "I would like to ask the old immortal to give more specific instructions."

Ye Hong added: "This Qiaoshu Bodhi girl was originally the reincarnation of the lay daughter of Manjushri Bodhisattva. She was born with seven orifices and an exquisite heart. She was born under the Bodhi tree in the south. Her talent and appearance are unparalleled and cannot be compared with all living beings. As long as she appears, it will be easy Recognize it.”

Gong Baibao said: "This is difficult. There are so many beautiful women. How can I know who has given birth to a heart with seven orifices? Why don't you want to kill me? Old Immortal, you can do it." Okay, can you give me more specific instructions?"

Ye Hong said displeasedly: "You are such a rogue. I have already made it very clear. This kind of thing is all about fate, but you want me to buck the trend and reveal the secrets of heaven to help you. It's really annoying! "As he spoke, he waved his hand in the air, blowing a stream of hot and fragrant air onto Gong Baibao's face. The guy only took a breath, and then his head felt dizzy. In a daze, he heard someone say to him: "The crowd is looking for him. Qian Baidu, that person is in the dim light, and the person who saved your son has already contacted you at a high price."

Gong Baibao was vulgar and illiterate. Li Muye didn't understand the first half of what he said to him through the communicator, but he did understand the last sentence. He was confused by Ye Hong's slap again. He looked at Ye Hong with his eyes and kept his mouth still, but he heard it really and clearly with his ears. Looking at the others, there was no reaction. It seemed that he was the only one who heard that sentence. , and suddenly he had the illusion of hearing an oracle from the depths of his soul.

In the hidden room, Xiaofen held Li Muye's arm, laughed and said, "This plan of yours is too bad. It seems that Gong Baibao has not run away this time. He is counting the money for you and talking to him at the same time." You guys say thank you, this world is really fun."

Li Muye said: "Lao Ye's method is still superb. This last oracle was used cleverly, but if it had been anyone else, he would have been cheating."

Xiao Fen said: "It's a good thing he can think of the trick of putting the wireless communication device into Gong Baibao's ear without anyone noticing. In this way, Gong Baibao will go to Sister Bingbing and Sister Bingbing. If you give him a high price, this guy won’t even dare to ask for it.”

Li Muye said: "Next, we have to ask him to donate a large amount of money and cooperate with the TV station to hold a charity event. Let Lao Ye go up and perform some ancient color tricks. Sister Bingbing will also join in the fun and donate money." Make some money, ask Zhou Weiye to come forward and invite a few celebrities to join us to raise some money, and use it all for charity."

"What kind of charity do you do specifically?"

"It doesn't matter, support Project Hope, or support desertification control in the northwest region. Anyway, we have to do things in a down-to-earth manner, and we can't let anyone find the slightest fault."

Xiaofen nodded knowingly and said, "Uncle, I really want to make Uncle Ye into a Buddha for thousands of families."

Li Muye said: "As a cultural symbol, it has become a representative of the spirit of our animal husbandry group."

"You use thunderous tactics and have the heart of a Bodhisattva." Xiaofen leaned over gently and said, "Uncle, I admire you so much."

Li Muye said: "Don't talk about me being so noble. One day you will be disappointed when you see me being ruthless and bad."

Xiaofen shook her head and said, "No, after being with you for so long, I am no longer a child who just left school. I understand that a simple good person cannot do great things."

Li Muye said: "Gong Baibao is in the bag. Next, we will take over the lighting city. After some renovations, our first chain restaurant can be opened. Don't look at it at this stage. This restaurant business is nothing special, but in the future, I will We should focus our main energy on this.”

"Why?" Xiaofen asked in confusion: "Whether it's oil and gemstones from Chechnya or gold and diamonds from Yakutia, which business is not more profitable than this one?"

Li Muye said: "In matters like trade, if we make money, someone will lose it, so the more we make, the more people hate us. Gold, jewelry and oil are both naturally produced consumer goods. At a critical moment, we cannot eat or drink them. So in essence, this is called speculation. Making such money not only makes people jealous, but also makes God jealous, and God is what the people want."

"It's too profound, I can't understand it." Lu Shaofen smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it a bit ridiculous? A top student at Fudan University can't understand what a semi-literate person said. Uncle, how do you know so many things?"

Li Muye ignored her subsequent questions and continued: "Then let me put it simply, why is this gold jewelry valuable? If a family has a treasure trove of gold, it is true that it can maintain its value, but the reserve of this thing is Can it really be used as a monetary basis to determine the value of money? In my opinion, this is nonsense. When you are really hungry, which one do you choose between a piece of bread and a gold nugget of the same size?"

"It must be bread." Xiao Fen said: "I probably understand a little bit, so the value of gold and silver jewelry does not lie in their rarity, but in the recognition of them by the people who need them."

"Satisfying and warming the appetites. Essentially, this thing is used to fill the desires of those whose basic survival needs are greatly satisfied." Li Muye said: "No matter how well this kind of business is done, it can only become the most popular thing in the commercial field. A skilled craftsman will never become a master." He added: "In addition to the gold and gem business, there are also some hugely profitable industries such as arms and spectacles and dentures. It's not that you can't do it, but you have to have a solid foundation in your mind and satisfy yourself. After the need for money, we should still pursue higher pursuits to achieve success."

"What you said makes sense, but we girls still like these things very much." Xiaofen was a little worried: "Do you think I am superficial?"

Li Muye shook his head and smiled: "How could it be so? I am not telling you that this business is not good. I just want to tell you that this kind of business can only concentrate wealth in your pocket, but it cannot improve your status as a businessman. An outstanding businessman should be a master in the business field, not a speculative millionaire."

"Then what kind of businessman is considered a master in the business field?" Xiaofen asked with eyes shining.

Li Muye said: "Only those who sell culture and ideas as products are considered masters. German machinery, Swiss clocks, French cuisine, Italian fur and fashion, these are all big businesses born out of basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. Americans The fast food culture has changed the rhythm of the world. The Japanese combined these cultural characteristics with their own private culture to create a so-called innovative culture, which has also been sold all over the world."

"Cultural export brings recognition, respect, and even worship. It is the second means of conquest besides military means." Li Muye continued: "Strong culture can make a nation strong and dynamic, while weak culture Culture will lose itself. For example, in today's domestic society, why are there so many thoughts that admire foreign things? The problem began in the late Qing Dynasty. The failure of the war made the Chinese people not identify with their own culture, and denying themselves became fashionable. Things, but did we really lose in terms of culture? Historically, the Chinese cultural compatibility has conquered many powerful foreign races, but it is the only ancient civilization that has survived."

Xiaofen showed a look of surprise and said, "Isn't this something Mr. Yuan often talks about?"

Li Muye nodded and said: "Lao Yuan is really a master. He told me that real big business cannot be separated from five elements, food, clothing, housing, transportation and cultural attributes."

Then he said: "This cultural attribute is very broad, including medical culture, catering culture, calligraphy culture, martial arts culture, etc. In the final analysis, it is a strong culture that represents the core of the national spirit, such as the culture of the catering industry. What we pay attention to is that we will never tire of eating. Not tired of details, the pursuit of taste and ingredients is extremely refined. On the surface, this is a complicated and luxurious behavior. In fact, it can also be made simple and the simplest and most vulgar ingredients can bring out the best taste. If this way, food culture can be exported to the world. , then people who accept this culture will recognize our ways, habits and even rely on our culture, and the sense of identity it brings will help us occupy a leadership position."

Xiaofen stared blankly and said, "This is what Brother Chen wants us to do, right?"

Li Muye nodded and said: "This is the great cause of commerce to rejuvenate the country and bring peace to the world." He added: "Any resources may be exhausted. Only a strong culture is the foundation for continued survival. The Han nation has grown from a country in the Yellow River Basin to Since the development of the small tribe, it has experienced countless wars, mergers, and integrations, and has developed the most compatible and vital cultural heritage today. Catering culture has made a great contribution to this. Such a business, you still think it is a small business. ?"
