In 5 16 BC, a 20-year-old friend Fan Li met Wen Zi, and they shared the same interests and ideas. Later, they were disappointed to learn that Chu was politically corrupt and the government was dark. So in 5 1 1 year BC, the two met, entered Yue State, and devoted themselves to Yue King. Although under the King of Yue, Fan Li didn't really give full play to his strengths. At that time, the State of Yue and the State of Wu fought fiercely. Later, the State of Yue was defeated by the State of Wu, so Fan Li and Wen Zi Fang were put to use.
Put forward the commitment to peace and perfection in exchange for time to fight back one day, and put forward nine strategies to destroy Wu. In 490 BC. The forbearing Gou Jian finally rebelled against China, and Fan Li returned to China with others. After that, they stayed with Gou Jian for decades to provide him with advice. Finally in 473 BC, he was defeated by Fu Cha and died. In 468 BC, Fan Li helped Gou Jian regain his hegemony and become a hegemon.
In the same year, Fan Li resigned and began to live in seclusion. He goes boating in the five lakes and does business everywhere. Fan Li is an excellent businessman with an amazing way of doing business. All his money has been distributed to help the poor, which has been praised by the world. In 448 BC, Fan Li died of illness at the age of 88. Fan Li's political ambition in his life began in Yue State and ended in Yue State. After helping Gou Jian destroy Wu as emperor, he realized the danger of being an official and resigned.
Fan Li has amazing knowledge, extensive knowledge, great insight and foresight on the way of doing business, and extraordinary economic activities have made Fan Li rich. At first, Fan Li left Yue State for Qi State, where he earned his first bucket of gold and gradually became famous. His extraordinary economic mind was valued by the people of Qi State, so he entered the palace and became prime minister for three years. This time, it was still Fan Li who offered to resign. He knew it was not easy for a civilian to be prime minister, so he left to avoid disaster.
In order to escape from political affairs, Fan Li settled in Tao Di (later named Dingtao in memory of Fan Li). Fan Li advocates grasping opportunities, grasping existing resources and earning profits through exchange. Fan Li once went to a town to do business. Dayu left a big lake after dredging the river, where the people lived and lived in peace and contentment. Fan Li soon found that mountain products, rich in walnuts and game, was short of salt and daily necessities, so he found business opportunities and bought local mountain products at a high price. After classification, he sold these mountain products to various places, and then repurchased salt and other items to sell here. One by one, Fan Li made a lot of money.
Therefore, this behavior attracted more businessmen to learn from Fan Li, promoted the economic development of this place and the enthusiasm of local people for supply, and people gradually became rich. Fan Li's business experience can not only make him rich, but also promote economic development and share wealth with the people. Fan Li was the right-hand man of Gou Jian, the King of Yue, who helped him to avenge his national humiliation and gain hegemony. Because Fan Li knew the character of the King of Yue, after becoming a great national salvation hero, Fan Li resigned and left to save his life.
After Fan Li, he became a business saint in history because of his outstanding business mind. Because he settled in Dingtao and made a fortune here, he was called Tao Zhugong. Later, the world described Tao Zhugong as a rich man. Fan Li is considered to be a typical figure, and 1000 pieces of silver coins have all been recovered! By this world. He squandered his wealth three times before and after, either to help poor family members or to give them to those in need. He is never stingy with his wealth. Even though he has squandered all his money, he can quickly gather wealth by his own ability and become a rich man.
Let's talk about Fan Li leaving Yue State for Qi State, where he and his family worked hard. Within a few years, he became rich and famous. When people in Qi heard of Fan Li's shrewdness, they made him the prime minister of Qi, and he had a lot of wealth. But less than three years later, Fan Li was deeply uneasy about his high position, so he resigned and left. His belongings were distributed to former neighbors and people in need, and he left with important belongings.
Later, Fan Li went to the Trade Center to set up pottery. Fan Li visited here and thought it was the best place for trade, with prosperous economy and frequent business contacts. This is an important commercial channel, where he can get rich, so Fan Li calls himself Tao Zhugong, where he plays his advanced economic skills and pays great attention to the timing. Before long, he was very cautious about the trade flow.
