He is a very rich man(富比陶朱)
During the Spring and Autumn Period in
China, there was a famous minister in the Yue Kingdom, his name was Fan Li.
There is a story about him recorded in the
history books.
After helping Yue become stronger, he took
the initiative to apply for retirement.
He moved first to the Qi Kingdom and later
to the Tao Kingdom.
The geographical location of the Tao
Kingdom is very good. At that time, the Tao Kingdom was a very important hub
for the transport and circulation of goods. He thought that this place was very
good for doing business, so he decided to settle in Tao Kingdom.
He changed his name to (Tao Zhu).
His way of doing business is very flexible,
and he is very good at financial management and investment.
He can anticipate changes in social trends,
and he can also understand the timing of transactions.
He became the most famous rich man of his
time.
When he became a rich man, he felt that he
should give something back to society, so he kept a small part of the money for
himself. He donated most of the money he earned to help many poor people at
that time.
But after a few months of living
comfortably, he discovered other entrepreneurial opportunities.
He used the money he had to invest in other
new projects.
Unexpectedly, a few years later he became
the richest man again.
Confucius is the most famous teacher in
China. He had an excellent disciple called Zigong.
Zigong was very talented in business. He
made a lot of money and became one of the most famous rich men of his time.
Later generations admired him a lot and
talked about Zigong in this way.
He could clearly analyse the political
situation between different kingdoms and accurately predict the fluctuations of
commodity prices based on his views.
He made a lot of money, and his wealth was
comparable to that of Tao Zhu.
The literal translation of this saying is
that he is as rich as Tao Zhu.
It is used to describe a person who is very
rich.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Are you a good businessman? If you make a
lot of money, are you willing to donate it to the needy in society?
I hope this story brings something new to
you.

他能夠事先覺察到社會潮流的變化,他也很能夠掌握買賣的時機。
他成了當時代最有名的富翁。
當他成為富翁之後,他覺得自己應該回饋社會,他就留下一小部分的金錢給自己,他把自己所賺的大部分的錢全部捐出去幫助當時許多貧苦的人。
但安逸的日子過了幾個月後,他又發現了其他的創業機會。
他又拿著自己手頭的那些金錢開始另外一些新項目的投資。
