"Lantian King, do you mean that to do something, you must have ten years of perseverance?" Wang Hufeng speculated on the side.

"Keep listening!" Li Tao said noncommittally: "The beggar naturally thanked the master repeatedly. So, the master asked the beggar if there was anything that needed to be solved, and he would definitely help the beggar realize his wish. The beggar cried and complained, he said that he used to be a rich businessman, but then he lost money in business, the property was also paid, and the lady ran away with others, and now he has to beg for a living. ”

Dong Shaoqing speculated on the side: "Is the beggar begging a master to help him become a rich businessman again?" ”

Li Tao shook his head and said, "The beggar came up with an unbelievable idea. He told the master that there are too many people begging now, and he hopes that the master can help him become a leader in the industry. ”

The three of them were dumbfounded, and after a long time, Wang Hufeng said: "It's really unbelievable, they are all beggars, and they still want to be the best." ”

"The master appreciated the beggar very much, he said, even if people are down, they can't admit defeat, so they rush to the spirit of the beggar, and the master agrees to the beggar's request."

Fan Changfeng, Dong Shaoqing and Wang Hufeng pricked up their ears, they knew that what Li Tao said below was the point.

"The master told the beggar that in order to make a success in the begging industry, he must first make a name for himself. The master asked the beggar what his surname was, and the beggar replied that his surname was Liu. The master told the beggar that he would be called the beggar Liu from now on. The master asked the beggar where he often begged, and the beggar replied no. He was told that there had to be a fixed place for begging. ”

The three of them listened attentively to what Li Tao said.

The master told the beggar that he would be at the bazaar every day. Take a bowl in your hand, put dozens of dollars in the bowl first, and then set up a sign in front of you. It reads 'Beggarly Liu'. Have their own signboard so that it is different from other beggars. ”

Dong Shaoqing said thoughtfully: "King Lantian, you have spared no effort to spread the reputation of the Fan family's business name everywhere, is this any similar?" ”

Li Tao nodded appreciatively, and then said, "The master told the beggar Liu that it was not enough to have his own signboard. It is necessary to distinguish himself from other beggars in the way of begging, so that others feel that he has personality and characteristics. If it's still the same as it was in the past. In the face of the bustling crowd, grab a bowl and reach out to the crowd, shouting 'Okay, okay!' Okay, okay! I guess most people won't even look at it. Hide and pass. The master told the beggar. In the future, no matter who gives him money, he is only allowed to accept five cents from others. When someone throws money into his bowl, he must see how much it is, and if it is five cents, say thank you. If someone gives ten wen, don't be blind to the money, quickly stop the person and tell them that only five wen is accepted here. Then find someone to pay for five cents. If someone gives two cents, stop them. Thank you for your kindness, tell you that the minimum amount to be given here is five yuan, and let people take back two yuan. ”

Wang Hufeng was a little puzzled: "Huh? In this way, if people give ten wen, they want to get back five wen, and they don't want two wen, isn't this even less? ”

Li Tao smiled: "Beggar Liu also asked so!" ”

"How did the master answer?"

"The master told the beggar Liu that if you want to become a leader in the begging industry, you must do what you say, and it was a bit of a loss at the beginning, but it will be different later."

"Tao, why is that?" Fan Changfeng didn't understand either.

Li Tao said with a smile: "Jiulang, if you are this beggar Liu, when you look for five cents to give to someone, that person will definitely think about the five cents in his hand, what's the matter, those who ask for money will bring money." This kind of strange thing will definitely be publicized by him, and he will say to his relatives and friends, 'There is a beggar by the bazaar, and I gave him ten cents, but he asked me to give five cents.' The person who gave two cents was even more surprised, and it was estimated that he would have to turn his face with you at that time, 'What, at least five cents, is this still a beggar?' When you go back, this man will preach for you, 'I have a strange thing to do today, there is a beggar by the bazaar, I gave him two yuan, and he did not take it, and told me that I would only receive five yuan.' Think about it, these people are all famous for you for free, your popularity has increased, and your intangible wealth has increased, as long as you gather popularity, will you not be able to worry about money in the future? ”

After hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but bow their heads and ponder. Li Tao didn't speak, just held the tea bowl and looked at them quietly.

After a while, Dong Shaoqing raised his head first, and he asked, "King Lantian, what about later?" ”

Li Tao continued: "After listening to the words of the master, the beggar Liu left. After a month, the master was not at ease with the beggar Liu, so he went to the market to find the beggar Liu. When I arrived at the edge of the market, I saw a group of people gathered in a corner of the market, and I squeezed in to see that it was really a beggar Liu in the middle. There was a sign standing in front of him, which read 'Liu's beggar', and the beggar Liu was busy collecting money and looking for money. A middle-aged woman in the crowd said, 'Hey, our father-in-law came back to tell me, I still don't believe it, there are still such beggars in the world, only five wen, don't want more, come here to take a look, it's really, you look at people's begging, it's really different." A rich kid next to him couldn't get angry, "I don't believe it yet, someone doesn't see money when they meet him." With that, he stepped forward, took out the usual money, and handed it to the beggar Liu, "You are very hard, don't look for it." The beggar Liu hurriedly grabbed him and counted out a bunch of copper coins to stuff it into him, "Thank you for this Langjun's kindness, you are not easy, I will charge you five cents, if you don't charge more, welcome to come next time." When the onlookers saw this, they cheered. When the master saw this, he felt very satisfied, and without saying hello to the beggar Liu, he got out of the crowd. ”

Fan Changfeng listened with relish, and he asked, "Jiulang, this story must not be over yet!" ”

Li Tao nodded: "Another month has passed, it is raining in the sky, and the beggar Liu has come to find the master again, 'Thank you for your idea, my current begging industry is already thriving, if it weren't for the rain today, I wouldn't have been able to spare time to come and see you.' The master smiled, "You yourself have a face suitable for begging, plus you have experienced so many ups and downs, and your face is full of vicissitudes, and people with a little sympathy want to give you some alms." The beggar Liu said, "It's strange to say, the people who beg with me in the bazaar are worse than me, but they don't need a few dollars a day." The master told him, 'You don't understand this, don't think that you are just begging, you are begging at the same time, you bring novelty and happiness to everyone.' People are like this, when they have money, they want to find something new, if they hear that there is a three-legged toad, many people will travel thousands of miles to see it. So, people give you money, not because you deserve sympathy, but because your behavior makes others feel different. Beggar Liu nodded when he heard this, "I understand, you mean that many people have nothing to do when they are full?" The master nodded, and stopped talking. (To be continued......)
