Many years later, when Lv Buwei Guo Xiang stood in front of the firing squad, he would surely think of that distant afternoon when his friend took him to Handan to do business. At that time, Handan was a densely populated city and the capital of Zhao. Lv Buwei, a big businessman in Yangzhai County, met Zi Chu during this trip to Handan.
Zi Chu's father is the Prince of Zhao Haoqi, the state of Qin. A Guo Jun has many concubines. * * * has more than twenty sons, but Mrs. Huayang, who loves childless children, is the first lady. Zi Chu's mother's name is The Last Month Of Summer. Although she gave birth to a son from Guo Jun, she was still unloved, and even Zi Chu was not loved by her father. At that time, all countries had a tradition of exchanging hostages, so they sent Zhao as a hostage. However, Ann obviously didn't care about her safety and attacked Zhao again and again. It was useless for Zhao to see that it was a hostage, so he was not at all polite. Therefore, Zi Chu's situation can be said to be that his uncle doesn't feel pain, his grandmother doesn't love him, and he is financially strapped. Where does he look like royalty? He looks like a poor beggar.
Zi Chu and Lv Buwei met in this unbearable situation. Zi Chu, formerly known as makes, of course, at this time also don't see any difference; Lv Buwei is a very rich man with strong economic strength, so he wants to speculate in politics. This is a common problem of the middle class or petty bourgeoisie, without exception. Lv Buwei inquired about Zi Chu's identity and immediately said to his friend, "This man is a rare commodity. I want to invest in him and gamble. "
However, Lv Buwei still feels uneasy. After returning home, he asked his father, a great economist, "How much profit can you get from agriculture?"
Father counted his fingers and replied, "Ten times."
Lv Buwei asked again, "What about selling jewelry?"
Father pinched his finger again and replied, "A hundred times."
Lv Buwei asked again: "So, how much can you profit from making a frustrated person a monarch and taking charge of the world's money?"
My father opened his eyes wide and stopped pinching his fingers this time. He replied, "This is beyond my knowledge. I can't imagine or calculate. However, it is estimated that there should be countless times. "
When Lv Buwei heard that he was about to embark on a great career that even his father could not imagine, he said with satisfaction: "Farming and selling jewelry is just to maintain a decent living, and fostering the monarch can benefit future generations. I've made up my mind, just watch! "
The second meeting between Lv Buwei and Zi Chu was very noticeable. Lv Buwei said to Chu, "I can make your family prosperous." Zi Chu smiled and thought you were making fun of me. He replied, "You should show me your own family first." Lv Buwei didn't get angry and continued, "You don't understand this. My wealth and prosperity can only be obtained with your help. " Zi Chu a listen to this is of great significance, immediately put away smirked, sit, ask Lv Buwei. Lv Buwei said, "Zhao Haoqi of Qin is old, and the throne will definitely belong to your father in the future. But you have so many brothers, and you are neither long-term nor young, and you are still in a barren land. How can you compete with your brothers for the position of prince? The only breakthrough is Mrs. Huayang. You are not only a hostage, but also a poor man. Where can I afford it? Where can I afford it? Why don't we make a deal and I'll invest in you. How about you use this money to contact your father and Mrs. Huayang? " When Zi Chu heard that a venture capital came out of thin air, he immediately made a decision and said, "Deal! If I really become the supreme leader of the country, I will use half of Qin's land to repay your loan! "
So he signed a check for 500 gold for daily expenses, and took out 500 gold to buy a large number of antiques and strange playthings. He went to the State of Qin to bribe Mrs. Huayang's sister and asked her to give these gifts to Mrs. Huayang. Shen Chu worshipped Mrs. Huayang as a goddess, lived in a foreign land for a long time, missed her father and Mrs. Huayang, and couldn't sleep at night and cried day and night. These gifts are Zi Chu's filial piety to Mrs Huayang. Under the bombardment of these sugar-coated shells, Mrs. Huayang was elated. While the iron is hot, Lv Buwei continued to lobby Mrs. Huayang through the intermediary of Mrs. Huayang's sister: "Although Mrs. Huayang is loved by everyone, she has no son. What should you do when you are old? " It is better to make friends with wise and filial sons now and make them princes, which is tantamount to your own sons. After one hundred years of Guo Jun's rule, you are the Empress Dowager. This is a profitable industry. Zi Chu is not only clever, but also filial. You are the supreme goddess in his mind. If you let him be a prince at this time, he will be grateful for his life, and your happiness in old age will be guaranteed. "
