Buy bamboo slips and pearls and continue to write compositions.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a businessman in the State of Chu who specialized in selling jewelry. On one occasion, he went to Qi State to sell jewelry. For the sake of good business, he specially made many small boxes with precious wood, which were beautifully carved and decorated, so that the boxes would give off a fragrance, and then put the jewels in the boxes.
An A Zheng citizen was wandering in the street and saw a jeweler. He stepped forward and the businessman recommended a piece of jewelry for him. Zheng Guoren said after reading it; "This jewelry is good. What smells so good? " The merchant said, "this is the fragrance from the box where the jewels are stored." Zheng Guoren looked at it and said, what a beautiful box! It must be very precious! " The businessman said, "Of course, such expensive jewelry must be accompanied by an expensive box!" " "Zheng Guoren likes this box very much, so he said," I like this box. Sell it to me, and I can give you double the price. "After buying the box at a high price, Zheng Guoren went home happily. The businessman said inexplicably, "My jewelry is many times more expensive than the box! "Why did he buy a box and leave the jewels? This person is too strange. "
This story tells us that we should not only look at the appearance, but also look at its intrinsic value.
Everyone has heard the story of "buying bamboo slips and returning pearls". Since the last time that young gentleman only bought an empty box, he was beaten by his father, so he made up his mind not to take that box again.
One day, the gentleman was wandering in the street and found a man introducing a multifunctional box there for convenience and beauty. He put a stone that looked like jade in it, and the gentleman was very moved. Just when he wanted to buy it, he remembered his previous experience and bought the stone in the middle of the box. When he got home, he was beaten by his father and told him to be smart.
Once, he saw others buying cheap and good clothes. He was moved again. When he was ready to pay, he remembered his last two experiences, so he paid the money and went home without buying anything. Tell your father when you get home, and you can imagine the result. ...
Three years ago, Zheng ren lost money in the market because he had no experience of putting the cart before the horse.
Three years later, he reflected on the last experience and lessons, and prepared to go to the market again and make a good choice.
This time, he polished his eyes and calculated carefully. "Don't act rashly like last time, be careful," he told himself. Reading it, I thought, "well, this should look good ... well, it's too expensive." Look at that again. " "This is not good, it is inferior jewelry at first glance."
"Don't miss passing by, come and see!" At this time, the jewelry of a vendor in front caught his attention. "ah! Finally, there is a gentleman who knows the goods. Come on, come and see, it is absolutely authentic. " Seeing that Zheng Ren had been looking at his jewelry, the vendor quickly and politely pulled him over.
With the last lesson, the people of Zheng didn't trust him easily this time, but looked at these beautiful pearls critically. "Oh, sir, you don't know that all the pearls I brought yesterday were robbed in a short time. Today, thanks to your early arrival. " After hearing what he said, Zheng Ren let his guard down. When the peddler saw it, he quickly flattered, "Do you know, sir? All the people who came to me were discerning buyers. Just now, as soon as I saw you, I knew you were very wise. You can see my pearls from so many vendors. You are definitely an expert. " Is it? Hearing this, Zheng Ren was a little happy: Well, it seems that I really read it right this time.
So he looked at the pearls with envy. "Well, that's good. It looks good. " "Yes, sir, this is a first-class imported pearl." The peddler hit the nail on the head "Do you want one?" The vendor's hospitality and praise made him a little carried away, completely forgetting the last experience and lesson, and immediately began to pretend to be generous and say, "OK! Then sell this to me! " At this time, the stall owner rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, sir, let me show you this again. This is a new bead that I picked out from 10 thousand beads and didn't want to wear. Better than the last one. Take this. " "All right, all right, I'll take it." Zheng didn't think much, so he bought this "best pearl" at a big price.
At home, Zheng opened the box and prepared to enjoy this "trophy". He touched it gently with his hand and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, I finally got the goods!" So he gave the pearl to a good friend of his. Unexpectedly, his friend told him that what he bought was definitely not the first-class pearl he saw. What he bought was just an ordinary pearl, which was worthless at all. "How did that happen! I was fooled again! " Zheng Ren got angry and went straight to the market, but he looked around and didn't see the vendor.
"Ah-"Zheng sighed, "inexperience kills people!"
The next morning, in another market, there was a familiar cry: "Don't miss passing by, come and see!" "
After "buying bamboo slips and returning pearls", the businessman of Zheng continued to write composition 4. He decided that he must "buy pearls back" in the future.
So he went to the store to buy pearls. As it happens, a so-called "smart" pearl dealer is selling pearls: "Come and buy them, real pearls are on sale." He went over and saw the "clever" businessman sitting in front of the pearl. The red box outside is particularly eye-catching, with faucets, flowers and trees engraved on it ... The workmanship and quality are the best in the world. Look at the pearls inside. They are crystal clear and dazzling. He took out a pearl and pretended to be an expert. He read it for a long time and couldn't put it down. So he bought a pearl and returned the box to the "clever businessman" according to the rules.
Back in the village, he began to show off everywhere: "My pearls are good goods, real goods, and no one can compare with them. Come and see them! " The villagers came to join in the fun with curiosity, and soon the villagers surrounded the place. The villagers couldn't help exclaiming, "This pearl is really good."
He rushed out of the crowd and began to show off again: "Look, how precious my pearls are!" " "
At this time, a pearl appraiser was so happy to see him, thinking that he bought real pearls, so he went over and said, "You are so stupid, the pearls are fake, can't you see?" It seems that you didn't learn the last lesson! "
He froze. ...
Once upon a time, there was a person in Chu who knew that Zheng liked the night pearl best. This night pearl can emit strange light at night. It is very beautiful, so he bought it and returned it to Zhu. He hopes to get a good price in Zheng. So he called a craftsman and asked him to make a box out of a piece of sandalwood. Businessmen in Chu told him to carve the best dragons and the best phoenixes very carefully. The box is finished. Very delicate and beautiful! The merchants in Chu were very satisfied. Then, the night pearl was carefully placed in the box.
After that, he came to the place where Zheng sold jewelry. I found the most conspicuous place and shouted, "sell the night pearl!" Sell the luminous pearl! ..... "Instantly attracted a large audience to watch the Night Pearl, and there were many discussions. Someone said, "This box is really beautiful, but I think the night pearl is more beautiful." Others said: "This night pearl is priceless, as round as a pearl, as transparent as a crystal, and as shiny as a diamond. It's so beautiful! " But no one dared to ask what the price was. Finally, a rich man's son came and took a fancy to this beautiful box at first sight, thinking: This box is really beautiful, so I bought it. Zheng Qinwang said with a smile, how much is it? "The merchant of Chu said," Five thousand two hundred gold. " Prince Zheng was surprised and said, "This is too expensive!" Chu merchants said categorically: "Such a rare treasure can't be without a penny." Prince Zheng said helplessly, "All right! I bought it. He opened it and found a bead inside. He smiled and said, "This bead is not in this box. Here it is. "Chu Shang was shocked and secretly pleased: this man is really unreal and stupid. He said happily, "son, you really have a good eye and know the goods!" The more he listened, the happier he became. When the merchants of Chu saw him go, they all ran away. One of them kindly said to his son, "That box is priceless. This box can be bought for a dozen taels.". "My son was sorry to hear that, so he hurried to catch up, but he didn't catch up in the end.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a jeweler in the State of Chu, but all he sold were fakes. Because he did it all by himself, it is impossible to tell the truth at first sight.
One day, as usual, he shouted in the street: "Come on, sell the jewels. It's priceless. It's now or never!" In order to make the jewelry sell better, he used the boxes he bought as ornaments. An antique dealer is coming. He looked at the box and the design of the Ssangyong Pearl. The antique dealer thought that this was a unique antique. I have to buy it. Antique asked, "How much is this?" The jeweler said, "Eight dollars!" The antique dealer gave the money to the jeweler.
When the antique dealer got it, he carefully opened the box, then returned the fake jewels to the jeweler, and then went home happily. The businessman thought, why does this guest only want this box? Is there anything special in this box? Did he see that I was selling fakes? Businessmen never understood.
When he got home, he found a "door" in the box, and a crystal-clear gem came out of the door, which made the antique family happy!
Antiques sighed in their hearts and said, "Alas, counterfeiters can never tell the difference between true and false!" "
From ancient times to the present, buying bamboo slips and returning pearls are derogatory terms to describe people taking away worthless things and leaving precious ones to throw away. But we can change our minds. We can take what we need and give what we don't need to others.
Some people may think that people who buy bamboo slips and return pearls are stupid. He took beautiful but worthless bamboo slips and left priceless pearls. I believe that people who can afford pearls will not be fools. He knew the value of pearls, but he gave them to the shopkeeper. He thought it was worthwhile to buy a rafter at the price of pearls, so he gave away pearls that were of little use to him. In his mind, rafters are more precious than pearls and more priceless than pearls.
We think money is very important. Money can buy a lot of things and make you spend your life happily. I don't know how many people think making more money is their goal. But let's imagine if there is a country on the earth with rich people, but their country's productivity is backward and their clothes are rough. If a foreigner comes to his country and brings a very beautiful dress, maybe people there will spend a lot of money on this dress, because money is of little use in their country. They will be laughed at, but they feel that they have spent an affordable price and bought themselves a priceless treasure.
There is no value or unworthiness in the world, only what you think is the most worthwhile.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a businessman in the State of Chu who often traveled between the State of Chu and the State of Zheng and made a living by selling jewelry.
On this day, he will go to Zhengzhou to sell jewelry as usual. On the way, I passed a wooden box shop. The wooden boxes in the shop are beautifully carved and have a strong aroma. He thought, if I put the jewels in these wooden cases and sell them, I will definitely get a good price! So, he chose some good wood and asked craftsmen to make wooden boxes of suitable size and carve exquisite patterns on them. At the same time, the wooden box is sprayed with spices to make it fragrant and charming. As a result, the number of onlookers was indeed several times more than usual. Everyone was attracted by the exquisite wooden box, and they all praised the exquisite craftsmanship, rich fragrance and deep charm of the wooden box. It was really a rare work of art, which made the businessman very proud, privately very happy and secretly happy, thinking: This can make a big profit!
This businessman from the state of Chu, holding the jewels with the best color he thought, carefully introduced them to the onlookers, but everyone seemed to care more about the beautiful wooden boxes. At this time, Guo picked up a beautifully carved wooden box and studied it carefully for a long time. He couldn't put it down. So I came up with a high price to buy it. The jeweler was certainly very excited when he saw a customer coming to the door, and talked with him happily about the material selection and workmanship of this wooden box. Zheng people liked this exquisite handmade work very much, so they gave the money to the jeweler without bargaining and left happily with the box. But that Zheng Guoren just took a few steps, but turned back. Chu's jeweler thought it was because the price was not suitable and wanted to return the box and only buy jewelry. Who would have thought that the man walked up to the jeweler, carefully opened the box, took out the jewels inside and handed them to the jeweler, saying, "I'm really sorry, because I like this wooden box so much that I didn't find any jewels in it." You must have accidentally left it in the box. I'm here to return the jewels. "
After returning the jewels to the jeweler of Chu State, Zheng Guoren left happily and muttered in a low voice, "I bought a box and almost became a jeweler." The jeweler of Chu State was really distressed and distressed with the jewels sent back by the people of Zheng. He thought the man liked his jewelry, but he didn't expect it to be a wooden box selling jewelry.
"It seems that I am not suitable for selling jewelry, but for selling wooden boxes." Chu Shang shook his head and laughed at himself.
A long time ago, there was a man in the state of Chu who was engaged in jewelry business in Zheng. Recently, he found that the business in his shop was not very good, and he lived leisurely every day, feeling very painful: how can this go on? He racked his brains thinking about how business can get better every day.
On this day, he said to himself, "Is my jewelry not bright enough?"
Let the jewels shine! From the beginning, he carefully cleaned every piece of jewelry and added some luminous powder to some jewelry that was not bright enough. Now, the jewelry in his shop is sparkling and more charming. But the strange thing is-no one came to buy things! His heart, more and more anxious.
Another day, he suddenly thought of a question: I'm from Chu, and this is Zheng. Is it because people don't know that they sell jewelry here? In order to expand his popularity, he sent people to distribute leaflets all over the street. However, after another wave of leaflets, business has not improved. It is true that many people come to see the jewels in his shop, but few people actually buy them.
That day, when he saw another guest take a fancy to a piece of jewelry, but didn't buy it in the end, he suddenly had a flash of light: could it be the reason that the outer packaging of the goods was not exquisite enough? So he treated every jewelry box carefully, and every piece of jewelry in his jewelry box seemed more noble and moving.
Soon, a rich man surnamed Zheng came to the store. He bought a whole box of jewels here. In this jewelry box, every piece of jewelry is equipped with a delicate box.
However, something magical happened. The next day, the rich Zheng returned all the jewels, leaving only one beautiful jewelry box after another. The businessman of Chu state is in distress situation: He wants to return these precious jewels to me? Then, he couldn't help laughing: it seems that my method is right. Everyone likes outer packaging, and they simply don't understand the true value of goods!
Since then, Chu's jeweler has decorated every piece of jewelry to attract people's attention, and his business is really getting better and better.
After the incident of "buying bamboo slips and returning pearls", Zheng Guoren not only lost money, but was also teased. He thought that if this happened again, I would never be fooled again.
One day, Zheng's people came to the bustling market again. He was still in the distance when he suddenly heard an exclamation. He leaned in and finally squeezed into the crowd. I saw a businessman selling a box. "Look, this box is made of high-grade pear wood, which is a good gift and collection ..." The businessman said while showing the box. He saw the exquisite patterns carved on the box, which looked fragrant and charming. The merchant opened the box again, only to find that there was a crystal-clear gem shining strangely in the sun. Zheng looked at it and thought, "No matter how beautiful the box is, it can't compare with that jewel. I bought it for those people to have a good look at ... "He took out an ingot at random and only took away the jewels.
He walked in the street with a jewel, showing off to everyone, walking proudly, feeling that the sun is much brighter today. At this moment, an old man came from a distance. When Zheng saw it, he hurried forward and said, "Come and see the gem I just got!" ""hmm? "The old man studied the gem." This is not a gem! This kind of stone is everywhere in the cave over there. Alas, you have been cheated again. ""ah! " Zheng let out a cry of anger and threw the so-called "gem" out. He wanted to talk to the businessman, but the businessman had slipped away and left him alone.
Comments: For the first time, Zheng Guoren only paid attention to the appearance and ignored the essence, which made him make an improper choice of giving up the essentials. This time, however, he "learned" the last lesson and only took the jewels in the box, but he was cheated again. In his vivid and meticulous description, the little author wants to tell us that if we want to get the real treasure, we must have an extraordinary vision.
You may not be familiar with the idiom "buy bamboo slips and return pearls" in the sketch 12. From everything is done wrong. Foreign reserves say left. " "Chu people have sold pearls to Zheng, as the cabinet of Mulan, smoked Gui Xiang, decorated with pearls, roses and feather jade. Zheng people buy their coffins and return their beads. "
The main meaning is that in the Spring and Autumn Period, a man in the State of Chu got a pearl and he wanted to sell it. In order to get a good price, he thought of a way. He made a box out of magnolia incense wood. In this way, the pearl is particularly valuable, so the owner happily takes it to the market to sell. At this moment, A Zheng people came over. As soon as he saw this beautiful wooden box, he was immediately attracted. He spent a lot of money to sell this wooden box, holding it in his hand and looking around, fondling it. He looked at it for a long time before he opened the wooden box and took out the pearls inside. The seller thought he would like this bead, but never expected that he returned it and left with a wooden box.
In fact, this kind of thing will happen in life. In modern society, our life is full of temptations. Like holding activities in shopping malls, there will be many gifts attached. Some people often don't need this product, but they will buy it as a gift.
A while ago, we went to the supermarket to buy things and looked at the dazzling shelves. The younger brother suddenly pointed to a box of milk and said, "Mom, I want to buy milk!" " ""milk? I haven't finished drinking milk at home, I only drank one or two bottles. Do you want to buy other milk to drink? " Mother said to her brother. At this time, the salesgirl came over and said, "Just buy it for him. This milk is on sale recently! " With that, he took out a complimentary gift-a plush toy. My brother's eyes lit up when he saw this plush toy. I think my brother bought this box of milk mainly for this plush toy. Finally, my brother pestered me and finally bought this box of milk.
Later, my mother and I accidentally went to another supermarket to buy fruit, and as a result, we also found the same kind of milk, and the retail price was only in 50 yuan. After returning home, I thought again: Although this milk was given free of charge by the supermarket I visited last time, and it was also on sale, it can't be cheap for nothing. I looked at this box of milk. Original price of 69 yuan, current price of 59 yuan, cheap 10 yuan. But my mother happened to see the same kind of milk in another supermarket. It's only over 50 yuan, which is not cheap compared with here, and maybe it's a few dollars more expensive. Besides, does brother really want to buy this box of milk to drink? On second thought, I think this special offer is not an activity that can really help you save money, but a common sales trick in shopping malls. But the most important thing is that to truly understand the true meaning of things, we can't just look at things like appearances. It's an old joke to buy a gift and return the pearl, because I like the gorgeous appearance and ignore the intrinsic value possession. When we are talking about it, the metropolis laughs at Zheng's stupidity, but in real life, some people make these mistakes unconsciously.
There was a jeweler in Chu State. His jewels are seen by ordinary people. They are really white and beautiful, and they will be considered priceless. But let the discerning see that this jewelry is fake.
His jewelry is copied by himself, and it looks real. You can't tell without looking carefully. In order to sell the "jewelry" and make people feel that his "jewelry" is very historical, the businessman found a small wooden box that he bought from the people and thought was very ordinary, and put the "jewelry" in it. He came to the collection, opened the box, put it on the table and boasted about his "jewels" to passers-by. At this moment, a strong young man came to the businessman. The merchant immediately smiled and said to the young man, "Come and see my jewelry." This is a good pearl, now or never! "The young man was persuaded, asked the price and bought two pieces of" jewels ".
Young people are afraid of being cheated, so they find a discerning person to identify them. It turned out that "jewelry" was fake. The young man became angry from embarrassment, found the businessman, got his money back, beat the businessman who sold fake jewelry out of the water, and finally drove him out of Chu.
Buy gifts and return pearls and continue to write composition articles 14 Zhao Guoren came home, took out his box and showed off in front of his family. When his old mother heard the whole story, she knew that her son had been cheated and spent so much money on travel expenses for nothing. Suddenly, she stopped calling. "You idiot!" I didn't even know I was cheated, and I'm still showing off here. What's the use of keeping you? Don't go yet! Hearing this, Zhao Guoren knelt down and kowtowed to his old mother. "。 But the mother was indifferent, so Zhao Guoren had to run away from home and go out to wander.
Zhao people have no travel expenses and no skills. When they become beggars, they often go hungry and have a full meal. On this day, the old time saw him and asked him, "Do you want to have a good day with me in 2 1 century?" Zhao was overjoyed and said, "Yes, yes!" Hearing this, the old time waved and they suddenly came to 2 1 century. Time old man said to Zhao Guoren, "Whether you can live a good life depends on your own nature!" " "Then he disappeared.
After the old man left, Zhao Guoren looked for jobs everywhere and wanted to live a good life. On this day, a large enterprise was recruiting, and after many selections, Zhao Guoren stood out and successfully passed the selection. After taking office, Zhao Guoren worked hard. After two years of hard work, he became an assistant manager. His boss praised him, and his prestige suddenly increased greatly.
Because the enterprise has many competitors, the boss decided to buy competitors' products for reference, so as to know ourselves and ourselves. The boss called Zhao Guoren to explain the intention of the matter and let him handle it. Hearing this, Zhao Guoren was very happy and thought: I will do it well this time!
Zhao Guoren took the money and bought many competitors' products. He spent all his money. He pushed a lot of products and was complacent: I will definitely be praised by my boss! At this time, he thought of his previous experience and thought: as long as the boss wants the opponent's products, packaging is useless! On second thought, I unpacked all the packages and threw them away. Zhao's people thought to themselves: the boss will certainly praise his ability to handle affairs this time.
Back in the enterprise, Zhao Guoren showed the unpacked products to his boss. When the boss saw it, he was furious and said, "I want you to buy a competitor's product." Of course, you should study their packaging. Packaging is also one of the brand competitions! You're fired. "Zhao Guoren was kicked out of the company by the boss.
This time, the people of Zhao understood a profound truth. In the face of new problems, we can't use the old methods. Different problems should be solved in different ways, and we can't generalize.
