Chapter 635 Everyone has their own plans (46)

This time Mi Zhu had the excuse of "exploding fire". With the active participation of other merchants, the Mi family's grain price reduction is reasonable, and the business suddenly became popular.

Mi Zhu got the sweet taste, and all his business made small profits but failed to make huge profits, which was very consistent with the principles of seeking integrity and righteousness in traditional Chinese thought. In addition, the stories fabricated by Mi Zhu were widely circulated, and his reputation spread to Luoyang and other places.

Mi Zhu's reputation in the business world is at its peak, and the Mi family's business is booming.

In addition to the grain business, the Mi family gradually entered other industries.

With popularity and similar to the star effect in modern society, Mi Zhu achieved twice the result with half the effort and had an amazing business. He could be said to make money every day.

The Mi family was originally a family of planting. Mi Zhu successfully copied Fan Li's way of getting rich in Qi and soon became the richest man in the local area.

Although rich people enjoy all the blessings of the world, they also have their own worries.

When Fan Li scattered his family wealth three times, it was certainly because of his ability to make money, but it was also due to the situation.

The first time you spend all your family’s wealth, it is not considered a strict sense of dispersing wealth.

Together with Wen Zhong, Fan Li helped King Goujian of Yue destroy the Wu Kingdom and gradually dominate the Central Plains.

Fan Li became the greatest hero of Yue State, and was respected as a general, with a high-ranking official position, and was full of wealth and honor.

Just when he was successful, Fan Li resolutely retired, resigned from his high official position and had a generous salary, and left Yue Kingdom. The King of Yue confiscated all of Fan Li's property.

Fan Li spent all his wealth for the first time, but in fact he was forced by the King of Yue.

Fan Li, who left Yue Kingdom, quietly came to Qi Kingdom and changed his name to Qi Yizipi. He personally led his family to work hard on the beach and manage the industry.

They recruit refugees, hire idle local people, reclaim wasteland, produce grain, and use fisheries, salt and other resources on the beach to carry out commercial trade.

After the hard work of the whole family, Fan Li accumulated hundreds of thousands of property in just a few years.

After hearing this, the King of Qi admired his extraordinary talents and was jealous of his wealth. He had a plan and sent someone to ask him to be the prime minister of Qi. In fact, Fan Li wanted to accumulate wealth for him.

After receiving the letter of appointment, Fan Li sighed:

"If you manage your family and finances, you will have a wealth of money and a prime minister's official position comes to you. These seemingly lucky things are all unknown signs for ordinary people like me."

After careful consideration, he resolutely returned the seal of King Qi, invited friends and villagers to give them all the hundreds of thousands of wealth.

After scattering all his wealth, Fan Li walked the path to leave Qi overnight. This was the second time he took the initiative to pursue the peak of his career and retreated bravely.

Fan Li's second time was forced by the King of Qi.

After leaving Qi State, Fan Li learned from the previous two lessons and stayed away from the power centers of various countries.

After investigation, Fan Li's family settled in Taodi and changed their names again, calling themselves Duke Zhu, and was known as Duke Tao Zhu.

In Taodi, he led his family to start a new business.

This time, Fan Li started his business, using the idea of ​​"wealthy people earn" and "integration of official and business" and formed a huge interest group with the local government and aristocratic families.

As the leader of this interest group, the Fan family made most of the profits and soon became the richest man in the local area again.

After years of hard work, Fan Li's property far exceeded that of his country when he was in Qi, and he became the richest man in the world at that time.

Fan Li was far away from the highest power center of various countries, and local officials such as county magistrates were bribed by him with money and joined his interest group. Not only did no one dare to make things difficult for him, but he could also call the wind and rain and make business smoother.

Everything is divided into two parts, and money does not bring all good things to the Fan family.

Because after the family became rich, Fan Li's children not only wanted to enjoy themselves, but also acted as a mighty local area.

Fan Li thought that over the years, his children had been wandering with him and finally settled down and should enjoy the peace and happiness, so he did not interfere too much in his children's behavior.

In Dingtao, a small place, Tao Zhugong, as the helmsman of the interest group, naturally had no trouble with money.

Over time, his sons became a little unscrupulous and were not satisfied with becoming king in the small place of Dingtao.

Not long after, Fan Li's second son found an errand and went to Chu to visit.

He was used to being in Dingtao, and he did not restrain himself when he arrived in Chu. He had a conflict with a rich child in the local area. He killed the person with a disagreement.

Fan Li decided to use money to settle the matter. At the beginning, he wanted to send his youngest son who had spent a lot of money to rescue him.

However, because the eldest son was competing for merit and took the initiative to ask for a trip, he was reluctant to spend a lot of money, resulting in the second son being executed by the King of Chu.

After receiving this unfortunate news, Fan Li began to reflect.

Fan Li believed that: "A man is innocent and has a guilty conscience."

Fan Li's sons were indulging in peace and did not have enough ability to keep the huge amount of property, and would even bring disaster to the entire family.

As a last resort, Fan Li distributed his property to the poor people for the third time, leaving only part of the property to the few sons.

Fan Li knew the reason why a big tree attracted wind, and he would not put eggs in a basket.

He asked his sons to separate and live in seclusion in several places, and live an ordinary life.

The "Twelve Business Exercises of Tao Zhu Gong" obtained by Mi Zhu is the original one left by Fan Li, which is incomparable to other circulating residual books. Naturally, it also leaves some measures to deal with others' pursuit of property.

Fan Li mainly used the method of "dissolving money and avoiding disasters", and it was a very thorough "dispersing all the family's wealth".

Although Mi Zhu obtained Fan Li's method of getting rich, he was based on family wealth, "destroying money to avoid disasters", that is, using money to solve some troublesome things, and it is impossible to disperse all the family's wealth.

The self-protection method recognized by Mi Zhu is the "integration of official and business" method implemented by Fan Li in Dingtao.

With Mi Zhu's own talent, he is easy to do both as an official and in business.

But he wanted to take charge of the financial power of the entire family, and he was unable to become an official in person, so he used money to obtain an official position for his younger brother Mi Fang.

Mi Fang and Mi Zhu are not very different in age. They can be said to have grown up together and learned literature and martial arts together since childhood.

But Mi Fang has an average talent in learning, and the same learning environment as Mi Zhu, is just a rough understanding of literature.

Fortunately, Mi Fang is strong, familiar with archery and horses, good at riding and shooting, and his martial arts are even better.

Mi Zhu obtained a position in the army for Mi Fang in Xuzhou, and Mi Fang was very successful. He started as a centurion and became a general who led the army alone.

The Mi family has an official background, and Mi Zhu does not eat alone. In addition to the cultivation techniques that depend on for survival, he has brought back key officials such as county magistrates and county magistrates in the fishing and salt industry, and then brought together local aristocratic families including the Chen family to form an interest group.
