During the Warring States Period in China,
the Wei Kingdom had a famous minister named (Bai Gui).
He is also a famous business giant.
There is a story about him recorded in
history books.
He is a very restrained person, he is not
too particular about eating and drinking, and the place where he lives and the
clothes he wears are also very simple.
His business philosophy is very simple,
only two sentences.
I'll take what you don't want, and I'll
give you what you want.
After he observed the business cycle, he
discovered a simple truth.
The economic cycle is like a person's life.
It cannot rise forever nor fall forever.
After the peak there will be a trough. But
after the trough, there will be a peak.
He believes that the most important thing
is to know when to do something.
Therefore, the decisions he makes are often
different from those of most people.
Many people admire him and ask him the
secret of getting rich.
But he said.
My method is that simple. But why many
people can't do it.
Because most people do not have their own
opinions, they cannot judge the situation flexibly.
Most people cannot make the right decision
when it is time to act decisively.
Even after these people make a decision,
most people can't stick to it.
This is why most people cannot get rich.
This idiom means that I will take what you don’t want, and I will give you what you want

中國的戰國時代，魏王國有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做(白圭)。
他也是一個著名的商業鉅子。
歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
他是一個很有節制的人，他對於吃喝不會過於講究，他住的地方與穿的衣服也很簡樸。
他的經商哲學很簡單，只有兩句話。
你不要的我就拿，你要的我就給你。
他觀察經濟周期後，他發現一個簡單的真理。
經濟循環就像一個人的一生。不可能永遠上升也不可能永遠衰落。
高峰之後會有低谷。但低谷之後也才會有高峰。
他認為掌握一件事情何時該做的時間點是最重要的。
所以他做的決策往往與多數人不相同。
很多人很敬佩他，請教他致富的秘訣。
但他說。
我的方法就是那麼簡單。但是為何很多人做不到呢。
因為大部分人沒有自已的主見，所以他們無法靈活的判斷現況。
在該當機立斷的時候大部分人無法做出正確的決定。
縱使這些人做出決定後，也大多數人無法堅持。
這就是絕大多數人都無法致富的原因。
這句成語的意思是你不要的我就拿，你要的我就給你
