Chapter 10 Joke about Lü Buwei
Zhou Yuanzhi heard that they were very interested, so she smiled and said, "Anyway, it's the first time I've heard of it."
Gao Ming exclaimed: "We don't dare to talk nonsense, everything is a folk rumor"
Zhou Yuanzhi didn't expect that her words would scare them like this, and hurriedly apologized and said: "It's all my fault, I voluntarily punish them for drinking."
As he spoke, he poured a bowl and dried it.
But Gao Ming and Gao Ri didn't dare to drink it, so Zhou Yuanzhi had no choice but to say: "What I said here today is all wine talk, don't go out of this door"
After the two listened, Fang Shi put his mind at ease and continued to drink.
Zhou Yuanzhi asked: "What kind of person is Lu Buwei?" can go from an ordinary businessman to Xiangguo, even to the point where he now controls the government."
Gao Ming said: "It is said that his family was originally in the jewelry business, so he was particularly sensitive to valuable things, and over time, he had a unique vision, and thus accumulated a huge wealth, but he was not satisfied with these wealth, and still continued to look for more profitable investments"
Gao Ri continued: "It wasn't until I was thirty-two years old that I found a project that I was worth investing in all my life."
Zhou Yuanzhi pretended to answer: "Qin Wangzheng? ”
Gao Ming said: "No, it is Qin Wangzheng's father Yiren, and he is also the later King of Zhuangxiang, after he helped Yiren escape from Zhao State, he used a lot of money to help Yiren ascend to the throne"
Gao Ri said with a smile: "With such a huge investment and circumstance, what I finally got was the position of Xiangguo, under one person, above ten thousand people."
Gao Ming corrected: "It should be above 10,000 people, although Yiren has become the king of Zhuangxiang, but the real leader is Lu Buwei"
Zhou Yuanzhi also said: "In this way, since King Zhuang Xiang ascended the throne, Lü Buwei is the real master of the Qin State."
Gao Ridao: "Lu Buwei is not simple"
Gao Ming also said: "It's not simple, it's just a good calculation"
Zhou Yuanzhi also sighed: "Not to mention the old scheming, he is simply the greatest businessman from the beginning, and this investment is also one of the most successful investments in history, such a person, no matter how future generations judge him, it is not an exaggeration"
Gao Ming Gao Ri agreed with Zhou Yuanzhi's view.
It's just that Gao Ming suddenly asked, "Why is Brother Zhou so interested in Lu Buwei?" ”
Zhou Yuanzhi smiled: "Because I want to understand the Qin State, and I also want to change myself"
"Change yourself to Lü Buwei"
Zhou Yuanzhi said: "I think, I just don't have that life"
Gao Ri said: "You really don't want to be a killer?" ”
"I don't want to be it anymore"
"Why?"
"Because when you are a killer, you have to kill someone, and if you kill someone, someone else will always kill you one day, I don't want to be the one who is killed, so I don't want to do it"
"With your swordsmanship, who can kill you?"
"There is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, and my swordsmanship is not without opponents"
Gao Ming also smiled: "This is true, it is said that there are many swordsmanship masters under Lü Buwei, such as Chang Yu, who is considered to be the number one master under Lü Buwei."
"You know Chang Yu?"
Gao Ri said: "Chang Yu, we haven't seen it, but we've heard about it, and I heard that this person is neither male nor female."
Gao Ming lowered his voice and said: "Be careful that the wall has ears"
Gao Ri stopped talking, knowing that if he said too much, he would lose, and he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Zhou Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Don't worry, how can big people like Chang Yu and Lu Buwei have the time and energy to care about us little people, not to mention that the two of you don't have any enemies, and no one can report you."
Gao Ri knew that Zhou Yuanzhi was right, but still asked, "Really? ”
Zhou Yuanzhi continued: "If they are entangled in these little things you say, it is estimated that they will not be able to become big shots in their lifetime."
Gao Ming was a little unconvinced, and said: "Big people are also people, and they don't like others to expose their shortcomings, I heard that some big people, once they hear someone say their shortcomings, they will intensify their revenge."
Zhou Yuanzhi said: "You are right, but people like Lu Buwei and Chang Yu, they pay more attention to power than some trivial things."
He further said: "Only power is their motivation"
Gao Ridao: "You mean that everything they do is for power"
"Yes"
"What's the use of power? In the end, it's not for firewood, rice, oil and salt, three meals a day."
Zhou Yuanzhi heard what the two said, and said with a smile: "This is true, but few people can understand such a truth."
"Are you saying that people like Lü Buwei and Chang Yu don't understand these truths?"
"Yes, they were like you at first, believing that firewood, rice, oil and salt were the fundamentals, but with the increase of wealth and power, they gradually forgot these fundamentals and lost themselves."
Gao Ming smiled: "It seems that the so-called big people are not necessarily smart"
"Yes, big people sometimes can't recognize themselves more than ordinary people"
Gao Ri was a little puzzled and asked, "Big people can't recognize themselves too?" ”
"Yes, they don't know what they really need"
"Isn't it power that they need?"
"It's power, it's just that power itself is a bottomless pit, never satisfied"
"Are you saying that people like Lü Buwei are still not satisfied after becoming prime ministers?"
"Yes"
"Does he still want to be on the throne?"
Zhou Yuanzhi smiled: "If you are him, do you want to?" ”
Gao Ri paused for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "If I were him, I would indeed want to experience what it was like to ascend to the throne."
Gao Ming swallowed his saliva and said, "I want to too."
Zhou Yuanzhi smiled: "You all think about it yourself, let alone Lu Buwei himself"
Gao Ming even fantasized: "If I have the opportunity to ascend to the throne, I will have beautiful women who cannot be enjoyed, ...... wine that I can't drink, and my life will not come in vain."
"If you ascend to the throne, will you still think about firewood, rice, oil, salt, and these trivial things?"
The two shook their heads and said, "No."
Zhou Yuanzhi poured them another bowl of wine, and then said: "Then you are just like him, losing yourself and not knowing what you really need."
The two picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip, Gao Ri sighed: "If you can ascend to the throne and have unlimited power and wealth, no matter how you lose it, it will be worth it."
After speaking, he wiped his mouth with his hand, as if he could really ascend the throne tomorrow, and then finished the wine in the bowl in one gulp, he looked at Zhou Yuanzhi, his eyes began to blur, and he was drunk all of a sudden, lying on the table.
Gao Ming reminded: "Brother Wang is joking, you really think of yourself as a king, wake up, ......"
Zhou Yuanzhi stopped Gao Ming and said: "Let him sleep, it's rare to have a dream of 'ascending to the throne', and it's not a bad thing."
In fact, the two of them also drank eight or nine points, and Gao Ming asked: "Brother Wang, if you have the opportunity to ascend to the throne, will you also lose yourself?" ”
Zhou Yuanzhi sighed: "Maybe, in the face of power, there are not many people who can really stay sober"
Clever silence!
Yes, over the ages, there have been countless heroes.
But in the face of the temptation of power, how many people can stand alone?
Zhou Yuanzhi patted Gao Ming and said, "It's just talking, you don't have to take it seriously"
Gao Ming nodded and said, "Brother Wang, after knowing you, I always feel that there is another world."
"Another world?"
"I'm thinking, the same people, the same age, why are people's fates completely different, like Lu Buwei and Chang Yu, what is the world they live in?"
"Like us, what else can be done, all under one sky"
"No, what I want to say is, it's all people, why do they have such an opportunity, and we don't?"
Zhou Yuanzhi paused for a moment and said with a smile: "It may be because we drink more than them, so God didn't let us have that opportunity, otherwise, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to drink like this."
Gao Ming heard Zhou Yuanzhi say this, and also found that he was thinking too much, so he smiled unnaturally, and said: "Don't dare to say anything else, they definitely don't drink as well as us."
Zhou Yuanzhi stood up and said to Gao Ming: "Let Gao Ri sleep again, I'll go first"
Gao Ming said: "Where are you going?" ”
"Coming Home"
"What about the future?"
"I don't know, maybe it's far away."
"How far?"
Zhou Yuanzhi drew a circle with both hands and said, "It may be as far away as a cliff"
After speaking, he strode out.
Gao Ming looked at his distant back, and suddenly felt that this figure was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Maybe it's in a dream! He sighed.
And what kind of world is it in the dream?
Gao Ming fell into deep thought again, but then Gao Ri woke up.
Gao Ri asked, "Brother Wang is gone?" ”
"Gone"
"Where did he say he was going?"
"The End of the World"
"Where is the end of the world?"
"Maybe it's another world."
