Bai Gyu stood up, walked to the door, stretched out his head to look out of the door, and nodded to one of the attendants outside the door.
Then he bolted the door and walked back. sat down opposite Zhuangzi again, lowered his voice and said: "I am also a Taoist disciple, I tell you, but I have my understanding, I am also a disciple who cherishes life and is reborn, I cherish life very much, I am not afraid of death, I pity the people in the world, but I can't do anything."
I want to change everything by being an official and make a good life for the people of our country, but unfortunately I can't do my ideas and suggestions, and the king doesn't listen So I gave up being an official, I don't want me to live alone, my family is not peaceful, the world is not peaceful, no one has a good life, I want everyone in the world to live a good life, but I can't do anything, alas" Speaking of this, Baekyu's eyes moistened.
Listening to Bai Gui's predecessor talk so frankly about his past and opinions, Zhuangzi sat up straight and listened carefully.
"I have traveled among the princes and nations, engaged in trade, and lived a life of risking blood on the edge of a sword.
Others say that businessmen are profit-seeking.
The impression of businessmen in the eyes of the world is not good, ruthless, unrighteous and mercenary.
But that's just the behavior of some businessmen, not all of them, at least I'm not Bai Gui."
Speaking of which, Bai Gui habitually picked up the tea bowl.
There was no tea in the bowl, and there was no hot water.
It was now after dawn, and the two had not had tea since midnight.
He glanced at the bowl and put it down again. continued: "I have a set of business, and some people say that it is difficult for me to make a fortune, but I am not the money I earn, it is the princes' money, I give all the money I earn, except for the cost of keeping it for the poor.
I can't save the country, I can only do my best and do everything I can."
Zhuangzi stood up and respectfully bowed to Bai Gui.
In the eyes of the world, businessmen are generally synonymous with treachery, and they have no good impression.
But Bai Gui is different, he is known as a rich man by the world.
He not only helped the poor to survive, but also sponsored poor students to study and subsidized talented people in distress.
In the Great Zhou world, it has long been famous.
However, Zhuangzi, who has just debuted, doesn't know this.
After talking about the things in the mall, Bai Gui sighed for a while before returning to the topic.
Looking at Zhuangzi, he said with some pity: "You must wonder why I want to marry the little girl to you" Zhuangzi blinked his eyes and looked at Bai Gui in bewilderment, waiting for the next step.
Bai Gui habitually picked up the tea bowl again, but this time he found that there was no tea in the tea bowl, so he put it down again.
"I once had children who sadly had been murdered to death, you know, everyone in the world knew that I was rich, so some wicked people targeted me. and the kings of all nations are concerned about my riches.
Alas, there was no way, and then I learned to survive, and the sons and daughters I let me survive were incognito, and I gave them inexhaustible wealth, and let them live in seclusion among the poor, and there was no way."
Zhuangzi nodded and said, "Senior Bai, don't say it, I understand" Bai Gui's face swept away with sadness, and said, "You promised to marry my little girl."
"I, I, I" "I don't ask you for anything, I only ask you to promise me that you are willing to take care of her for the rest of her life, I don't ask you to give her any name, you can go to see her often, give her a litter of babies, I will be satisfied" "But," Zhuangzi asked in disbelief, "Is she willing to say that I am a man, can I be so irresponsible, I don't have the ability, I can not marry, since I promised to marry, I will be responsible" "It's enough to have your words," Bai Gui said and let out a long breath.
I thought: I have found the right person, what I want is your words, what are you a man, my daughter Bai Gui and my nephew still want your son-in-law to raise me, I will leave them a wealth that can not be spent for generations I want your character Just then, there was a sharp knock at the door.
Baekyu stepped forward unhappily and opened the door to the room.
When he was about to rebuke his entourage, he saw that his entourage looked panicked.
The attendant didn't speak, but pulled Bai Gui out. whispered: "White rich man, go quickly" "What's the matter," Bai Gui also panicked.
At this time, two more attendants came up, and without saying anything, they took him and left.
"When the people of the King of Wei learned that you had returned to Wei, they sent someone over to invite you to tea."
An attendant whispered.
"King Wei," Bai Gui said, but did not say any more.
He wanted to go back to Zhuangzi and settle the matter of the little girl.
But it was too late.
He was originally an official in the Wei State, but later saw that the King of Wei did not listen to the advice, so he gave up the official and went into business in desperation.
As a result, with his personality and intelligence, he quickly made the business bigger.
As a result, the king of Wei and some jealous people set their sights on him and his wealth.
On the surface, he did not have a conflict with the King of Wei, nor did he have a conflict with the officials under the King of Wei.
But in fact, everyone knows it.
That's it, if you have money, you should help the country So every time he entered the Wei State, it was secretly.
As a result, this time it was seen by King Wei's spies.
In order to avoid the King of Wei, he had to leave here temporarily and hide from the King of Wei.
Bai Gui, a historical celebrity, was known as the "Shang Sheng" by later generations, and he was ostensibly engaged in ordinary business, opening chain stores in the capitals of various vassal states, and like other stores, dealing in the necessities of the market, equivalent to a modern supermarket.

However, there are all walks of life, and there are different specialty stores in each capital.
If you open a tavern to make money, you will open a tavern, if you open an inn to make money, you will open an inn, and if you sell luxury goods to make money, you will sell luxury goods.
Whatever this city lacked in this princely country, he summoned from elsewhere.
In terms of price, he never monopolized the market, but set prices according to market prices.
Because he has business in various vassal countries, he has a special understanding of the market conditions of various vassal states in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
So he never loses money in business.
These are just the businesses he does on the surface, and he earns conscience money, and he doesn't make too much money.
What really made him earn money was that the money for military supplies was the money for grain and grass that the vassal states urgently needed to save the country.
Once the war comes, the warring country has to raise a large amount of land, grain, grass and military supplies.
There are also copper, iron, war horses, chariots, etc., all of which are very scarce military supplies and war preparation materials.
These substances cannot be bought on the market, only through them, the merchants, from the people, from illegal sources.
They pile up these substances in various places, and once they have negotiated a price with the buyer, they gather them together.
Or it is also delivered out by breaking it into parts.
The buyer's congress will respond at the border.
It was precisely because these materials were urgently needed that they had business dealings with the princes and kings of various countries.
Not directly, but indirectly through the king's officials.
Therefore, in terms of customs clearance, they can get the most authoritative customs clearance documents from various kings.
Although there is a risk in customs clearance, there is a guarantee from the officials below the king, and there is generally no danger.
Besides, no matter which princes and kings dare not offend them, there are times when they are needed.
Because they were able to get much-needed supplies from Bai Gui.
Therefore, what king dares to offend such a capable man:
