Chapter 16 Ambition

Zhou Xiaoxian put down the pig's trotters and said, "I want to, I want to think so much." Brother, let me tell you, I have a dream in my heart. That is, in the future, I will open my eyes happily every day in the murmur of a beautiful wife and concubine. I will also build a large treasury in my house, full of gold and silver. Every day, when you count the money, you have to use a large scale to weigh it. In order to realize this dream, I must get rich as soon as possible and make a fortune. Brother Tianci, what can you do? ”

Zhou Xiaoxian's dream is very great, and it should be said that it also represents the expectation in the hearts of most people. But if you want to realize this dream, you must not only work hard, but also have otherworldly wisdom and luck. Many people have learned from experience that even if they try very hard, only a few people can achieve this dream. Zhou Xiaoxian has such a dream, and if he has a dream, he will work hard to realize it. It shows that Zhou Xiaoxian is a man of action, and he also has a certain brain and talent. Looking at the words he said when he was selling fakes, you can see that this kid has prepared for all the situations he may encounter in advance, and if one move fails, he will make another move.

And he has a strong ability to learn and apply practically. After Tianci finished speaking, he immediately used it, which shows that Zhou Xiaoxian's thinking is quick and his grasp of opportunities is also very good. What's more, he is still a blank sheet of paper, and he is too malleable. Niu Tianci wants to build his own team, and the kind of person who has been influenced by traditional concepts for many years is definitely not the first choice. What he needs is someone like Zhou Xiaoxian who has goals, actions, ability, and is not pedantic.

Zhou Xiaoxian is not without shortcomings, at least now it seems that he loves money. As for loyalty, it's hard to say right now. However, Niu Tianci believes that Zhou Xiaoxian will definitely follow him wholeheartedly. In addition to having a mountain of gold, his goals are basically the same as Zhou Xiaoxian's goals or dreams. Now what Niu Tianci has to do is to transform Zhou Xiaoxian with his own thoughts and train him to be a reliable assistant.

"Xiaoxian, your dream can be summed up in one sentence. That is: sleep until you wake up naturally, count the money until your hands cramp. ”

"Incisive, so incisive. Big brother, you go on. ”

"What I'm going to tell you is that this dream is not easy to achieve. To put it bluntly, you are called a rich country. Do you think for yourself how to make it happen? ”

Zhou Xiaoxian held his face and thought for a long time, although he was very smart. But the problem was too much beyond his knowledge. He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a reason. I had to say with a bitter face:

"I just can't think of it. Big brother, tell me. ”

"Well, it should be said that your dream is also my dream. Let me tell you, I could have lived on my father, and I lived a very nourishing life. However, the current emperor is very jealous of my talent and handsomeness, and tosses me in a different way. I couldn't live the life I dreamed of, so I had to rely on myself. My dreams are bigger than yours, and I want the wealth of the whole world. I heard that it is the wealth of the whole world, not only Dayan, but also other countries. We know what we want, and the next thing is how to do it. So how to do it? It's about thinking big and starting small. Take advantage of the conditions and seize the opportunities. Rapid accumulation, lay a solid foundation, and build your own industrial chain. Then use money to make money, control the economic lifeline of a country and even the world, and finally realize our dreams. Niu Tianci spit and danced, and the posture was quite instructive.

Zhou Xiaoxian is not bad, at least his comprehension ability is not bad. Although he didn't understand the meaning of many of the words Niu Tianci said, this did not prevent him from understanding according to his own ideas. Now his mind has been completely grasped by Niu Tianci. His thoughts followed the main vein proposed by Niu Tianci, running rapidly, and constantly extending and extending. From time to time, he asks questions, often to the point. Genius, Niu Tianci secretly admired.

"Xiaoxian, in this era, it is basically impossible to be rich and safe and sound. As you know, massive wealth cannot be kept without the backing of strong strength. Without strong strength, wealth is the bane. Therefore, we need to cultivate strong strength while trying to earn wealth. It is not until this strength is feared and surrendered that our dreams are truly realized. ”

"Big brother, you mean that in addition to making a fortune, we also have to be big officials, right?" Zhou Xiaoxian raised his hand and asked.

Niu Tianci touched Zhou Xiaoxian's head appreciatively. Talking to smart people is a pleasure, and Zhou Xiaoxian immediately grasped the point.

"That's right, to be an official, to be precise, to hold power, a lot of power."

"How big?" Zhou Xiaoxian asked.

Niu Tianci stood up and stretched out his arms and said, "In the past, some people said that how wide the heart is, how big the heavens and the earth are. I would say that only those who have heaven and earth in their hearts can control the world. ”

Zhou Xiaoxian looked at Niu Tianci with admiration. At that moment, Zhou Xiaoxian felt that this child, who was not much older than himself, was now standing in front of him like a giant.

"Big brother, you don't want to be the emperor, do you? This is a rebellion. But as long as you can make a fortune, it's fine. Big brother, Xiaoxian will listen to you from now on, big brother, you will do what you say Xiaoxian. ”

"If we don't rebel, that's a very dangerous thing. What we have to do is to replace this unruly emperor with an emperor who has a close relationship with us. So that we can lie down under this big tree and eat and drink spicy. ”

Zhou Xiaoxian nodded again and again, Niu Tianci's purpose was achieved, and he breathed a sigh of relief. When I used to read novels, those male protagonists had their arms crossed for a while, and the king's anger was full of anger, and the little brothers ran over one by one. It's my turn, and it's so hard to take on a child, but it's finally done. A good start predicts a good outcome, and as long as you keep working hard, there will always be more and more people with the same dreams to follow you.

After the two of them determined the general goal of becoming officials and making a fortune, they put aside the rebellion for the time being. The brothers discussed what to do head to head. Zhou Xiaoxian quickly found his position and told Tianci his thoughts. In fact, it's just a refinement of what he used to do selling fakes. Niu Tianci shook his head, his first subordinate's vision was still not broad enough, and his ideas were still not bold enough. This is where decision-makers need to develop policies and strategies.

"Xiaoxian, do you think you're smart enough? Look at me and answer. Niu Tianci stared at Zhou Xiaoxian's eyes and asked.

"Big brother, am I not smart enough? You see, I'm only so big, and I've earned dozens of taels of silver. ”

"Then do you dare to go to those people who have been deceived by you and deceive them again?"

"You treat me as stupid, you lied to others once and then went to cheat, isn't that looking for a fight?"

"Wrong, since you deceived people once, you should cheat to the end. Until the deceived person begs you to deceive him again, this is the highest level of a liar. Niu Tianci said word by word.

"Big brother, are you stupid or am I stupid? Are you a fool all the people in the world? Willing to be deceived by you? ”

"You're wrong again. When you become a fool in the eyes of others, you can rest assured and boldly deceive others. Others will willingly let you deceive. Think about it, would you rather fool a fool or a smart person? ”

"Of course it's a fool, who is a smart person."

"Therefore, from now on, we will let others see us as fools, and we will deceive fools who think they are clever in the guise of fools."

"I still don't understand."

"I tell you, there was a little kid who everyone called stupid. Each time he took a piece of gold and a piece of silver and went out for the boy to pick. The kid takes silver every time, do you think he's stupid or not? ”

"Silly, stupidly bubbling. Who doesn't know that gold is more expensive than silver, and if I were to take it? ”

"Do you know what the kid said?"

"How?"

"The boy said, 'If I take the gold, those people will never do it again, so I will take only the silver.' Silver is not as valuable as gold, but as long as I only take silver every time, those people will think I'm stupid and continue the game. I was just looked at as a fool, and I got a lot more than a piece of gold. Do you think this kid is stupid? ”

Sometimes the truth is so incomprehensible, Zhou Xiaoxian understands.

"Big brother, I understand, I used to be smart. Those who have been deceived by me are either really stupid or just kidding me. I thought I was smart enough, and I'm ashamed to think about it now. Big brother, I remember everything you said. We're still young, so we should play dumb. Even if we grow up in the future, when we don't have absolute strength and certainty, we still have to play stupid, right? Eldest brother. ”

"Xiaoxian, do you know? The insight you have just made is more than many, many. Remember the words of the eldest brother: when you see others as fools, others see you as an idiot; When you see others as idiots, others see you as crazy; When you look at other people as crazy, others see you as a saint. We are not saints, we are only fools. ”

"Big brother, I don't understand, isn't the saint very good? Admired and worshipped, the name has been passed down through the ages. But I look at your expression, as if you are not interested in the saint. ”

"Don't you think it's interesting to be turned into a clay sculpture and a wood sculpture and stand there and be worshipped? Let me tell you, the saints were miserable when they were alive. For example, in a book I have read before, there was a sage named Confucius who lobbied around to promote his ideas. As a result, they didn't even give them the opportunity to sit under the tree and teach their disciples, and they even cut down the tree. Confucius wandered around and was only allowed to return to his hometown when he was dying of old age to spread his ideas. After his death, his ideas were revered as classics by later generations. Confucius is also revered as a saint and is revered by others and his name goes down in history. But why was he so tormented and disrespected while he was alive? ”

Tianci waved his hand to stop Zhou Xiaoxian, who was about to refute, and continued: "The honorific titles of saints are all given by later authorities. The same idea, the later people thought it was good, but the people before didn't know it? No, the main reason why people in the past did not think it was good was that the idea of a saint was not in the interests of those in power at that time, that is, there was no need. And when people come later, they will feel that their ideas are good and that they are great. ”

Zhou Xiaoxian nodded in agreement.

"We are to learn from the spirit of the saints and to have their wisdom and foresight. Don't follow their desperate attempt to force others to accept their views. It is necessary to know that rigidity is easy to break, and water can overcome rigidity. If we want water to flow to where we want it to be, we have to dig a ditch first. What we have to do is to cultivate people's habits and guide people's thoughts, which is like digging a ditch to divert water. We sow a handful of seeds, and one day they will take root and blossom. Then we will be the only living saints ever to live and we will live to see our dreams come true. Our philosophy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Every word we say is enshrined as a classic. Do you want to be such a saint? ”

"Yes. I really want to think about it. I can't wait, brother, tell me how to do it? ”

"If you don't accumulate steps, you can't go a thousand miles. Let's start with the present. Tomorrow I'll take you to see my farm. And Muragaku is our first move. In addition, the richest man in Cangshan will build a separate courtyard here. He is my favorite partner, you have to have a good relationship with him, and our first fortune will be earned from him. In the future, these things will be left to you to do, be bold and careful, and let it go. I will support you. Niu Tianci walked back and forth on the ground with his hands behind his back, very leader-like.

Zhou Xiaoxian took out his money bag and handed it to Tianci.

"Big brother, this is the money earned by the younger brother, and it will be handed over to you as the capital. From now on, the younger brother will only look forward to the eldest brother, life and death will accompany each other, and he will never give up. ”

"Okay, you and my brother have worked together to break through the world. But you take this money, and the eldest brother has been telling you for a long time, but you still haven't understood it. Don't you know that big brother likes to do business without capital? ”

"How do you buy and sell without capital?"

"Borrow." Niu Tianci raised a finger and replied loudly.

"Who will lend us money, we are all children?" Zhou Xiaoxian asked with peach blossom eyes.

"That's what I told you about making money out of money. But it's too early to make it big. The reason is very simple, I'll show you. Mother ~~~~~~~" Niu Tianci shouted at the opening of his throat.

"Oh my son, what's the matter, isn't it full? Mother, I'll do it for you. Chun Niang ran in and hugged her son for an intimate meal.

Niu Tianci got into Chun Niang's arms and twisted back and forth, and raised his little face to sip on Chun Niang's face. Zhou Xiaoxian couldn't close his mouth when he saw it, is this still the big brother who just said like a river and scolded Fang Xuan? He was now a little skeptical that he would be sold if he followed this big brother.

"Mother~~~~, I miss you. Mother, give me some money. ”

"Okay, how much? Is ten taels enough? ”

"Enough, enough. Mother, I will pay you back and pay you back fifteen taels. ”

"Haha, my family is a godsend, I have the ability, my mother believes in you. I'll get you money. Chun Niang went out to get money for her son with satisfaction.

"Do you know why my mother gave me money without even asking?" Niu Tianci squeezed his eyes at Zhou Xiaoxian.

"Auntie is your mother, you want her to give it to you naturally."

"Wrong. Your grandfather was also rich, will he give you money if you ask for it? ”

"No, he's afraid I'll spend. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come up with a way to make money. ”

"That's right, that's what I'm going to tell you about the number one ingredient of making money out of money: credibility. Memorize this word well, it will be useful later. You remember, in the future we will open a big bank. Pooling everyone's money together and lending it to those who need it, earning interest on it. It's like borrowing money from my mother. If I have good creditworthiness, I will borrow more. And you can borrow at any time and pay less interest. ”

"Then what if people you don't know come to borrow money from now on?" Zhou Xiaoxian's brain was indeed fast enough, and he found the problem at once.

"He has an estate, right? Have a house, right? There's a deal, right? Take it as collateral, this is also the credibility of the wow? ”

"I see. But what if I meet a big businessman and I want to partner with him? ”

Niu Tianci threw an appreciative look at Zhou Xiaoxian. Then he shouted, "Daddy~~~~~~." ”

The cow ran over with a bang.

"What's the matter, son?"

"Dad, my mother told me just now that I found the silver you hidden. Hurry up and give me all the money, and take the money from me if you want to drink, but you have to give me a storage fee, one or two draws. And I want to use this money to do some business, how about we divide the money equally? ”

"Haha. Let's be polite, you just need to help your father keep the wine money. If you make money, keep it for yourself, and how much money your father has will not be yours in the future. Wait, Daddy will get you the money. ”

"Xiaoxian, this is the operation mode of the future money bank. The person who saves the money has to give him interest, so that more people will come to save the money. We use the money to partner with other people, and then use the money we earn to pay the interest to the depositor, it's as simple as that. ”

"Big brother, I finally understand what you mean by making money, and I also understand what you mean by having no capital business. Big brother, you are such a genius, big brother, I want to marry Jin Lan with you. ”

The two of them got a few sticks of incense and yellow paper, and kowtowed to the statue of the king of the stove. The two of them were in shifts, Niu Tianci was a month older than Zhou Xiaoxian, and he deservedly became the eldest brother.

Niu Tianci sat at the small dining table and accepted the bow of his younger brother Zhou Xiaoxian. casually gave Zhou Xiaoxian a couple of pieces of silver, which was a meeting gift. This ingot of broken silver Zhou Xiaoxian was reluctant to spend until he became the first product of the Shenlong Empire, the Duke of Wei, and the left servant of Shangshu Province. He made a luxurious pendant out of jade, gold, and precious stones, and set it in the middle and hung it on his chest. This is his glory, and it is also an incomparable capital that is the envy of his ministers. It's like a medal, and it is always worn on your chest.

The founding emperor of the Shenlong Empire, Emperor Haotian Yanhui, said to him: "It's almost, what do you have to worry about all day long?" Forgot what I told you? Be low-key, be a fool, and live for 10,000 years. Look at where our self-proclaimed clever enemies are now, and you'll understand. Zhou Xiaoxian understood that those enemies had already been lying in the grave and turned into dry bones. But he just didn't want to take it off, this was the only time in his life that he didn't listen to his eldest brother.

Of course, that's all for later, and now these two guys are not as tall as adults' legs. is muttering about how to make money. Niu Tianci knew that Zhou Xiaoxian was not a martial arts material. Therefore, I plan to focus on developing his management skills in the future. Don't worry about Zhou Xiaoxian's talent, follow such a grandfather, as long as he is not lazy, then his talent will not be bad.

"Big brother, Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu are so good to you. I haven't seen my parents since I was a kid. However, when my grandfather and I were in Suzhou, we met a lady. I think she's just like my imaginary mother. She likes me very much, takes good care of me, and sometimes calls me Hui'er. My grandfather and I came here at her instruction. ”

Niu Tianci understands that there are so many coincidences in the world. It turned out that Zhou Xiaoxian's grandfather and grandson did not come to Woniu Village without a purpose, but only came by receiving someone's point. The person who pointed them out here was Tianci's mother, Zhuo Yujiao, and Niu Tianci's eyes blurred when she thought of this.
