How did Gou Jian die in the end?

The story of Gou Jian's hard struggle is almost well known. Gou Jian, lying on the table, took revenge and embarked on the road of hegemony. Two people played a key role in Gou Jian's revenge, one was Wen Zi and the other was Fan Li. Let's talk about Fan Li today. Fan Li's success in politics and business is inseparable from the flexibility of this word.

Young people are poor, assisting Gou Jian.

Fan Li was born in Wandi, Chu (now Taohe Township, Xichuan County, Nanyang) to three families. When Fan Li was young, his family was relatively poor and his life was difficult. In the long and hard life, Fan Li has formed a firm character and a flexible lifestyle. In the long life of Chu, I am very dissatisfied with the dark politics and talent selection methods of Chu. I think it is difficult to have a good future in Chu State, so I went to Yue State with my good friends. Assist Gou Jian together.

Although he came to Vietnam, he didn't get the reuse of Gou Jian immediately. Actually, this is normal. I can't say that whoever comes to Gou Jian will be reused! After the State of Yue was defeated by the State of Wu, Gou Jian and Fan Li came to the State of Wu to be slaves. From then on, Gou Jian was reused. During his slavery, Gou Jian began to endure humiliation and seek revenge.

Soon, the monarch and his subjects returned to Yue, and Gou Jian tried to attack Wu many times, but before he could convince him, he followed his advice. A few years later, Gou Jian took advantage of Wu Wang's hegemony in the Central Plains and Wu's emptiness to attack Wu and won a great victory. Since then, he has repeatedly attacked Wu, and Gou Jian destroyed Wu, becoming the last overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Fan Li, as the greatest hero of Gou Jian's destruction of Wu, should have received the greatest reward, but chose to retreat quickly and leave the land of right and wrong. Since ancient times, most monarchs have just eaten * * * and cannot share happiness. The same is true of Gou Jian, whose literary ending is the best proof. Fan Li made this generalization incisively and vividly.

Return to the Jianghu.

After Gou Jian became famous, he retired voluntarily, left the country of Yue and began to go boating on the five lakes. I began to coat leather under a pseudonym. When I arrived in Qi, I began to build a thatched cottage by the sea and lived a retired life. I am carefree every day, no longer worried about life, and can live my own leisurely life.

However, there is no doubt that great people are great everywhere. Fan Li is not only a political expert, but also a business genius. Although I live a leisurely life in Qihai, this does not prevent me from earning some Qian Qian by the way. Therefore, Fan Li started a sideline business at the seaside. I didn't expect Qian Qian Jr. to become a rich man after making money. Bian Xiao wants to do the same. If he is not careful, he will become a rich man.

As the saying goes, there are many people who are red. This is not because with more and more money, their fame is getting bigger and bigger. They are almost household names in the State of Qi, and even the King of Qi has heard of Fan Li's reputation. I heard it was fine, but I didn't expect the king of Qi to let Fan Li preside over the state affairs of Qi. It was too casual at that time. It's a bit of a joke to let the people preside over state affairs. However, Fan Li has seen too much honor and disgrace in officialdom. A few years later, he left the State of Qi, returned to Xiangyin and chose to leave this wrong place. More importantly, he had squandered his huge wealth before leaving Qi State. What a cow! This realm is unparalleled.

Then, Fan Li left the State of Qi and came to Song, which extended in all directions. With convenient transportation and numerous businessmen, Song is especially suitable for doing business. When he came to Song State, he claimed to be Tao Zhugong. In the blessed land of doing business in Song Dynasty, within a few years, Fan Li became a famous businessman. No one is satisfied with the speed and ability to make money.

Fan Li's key to doing business

Why did Fan Li get rich quickly after spending all his money many times? This is the way Fan Li does business. In fact, some reasons are simple, but difficult to operate. There are three main ways for Fan Li to do business. First: Choose the right market. Fan Li is in the state of Qi or Song. According to the local resource advantages and local customs, the choice of industry is decided. Qi is close to the sea and has the advantage of fishing salt, so it is mainly engaged in salt industry and fishery, which can accumulate huge wealth in a short time. After coming to Song State, the natural endowments and customs of Song State and Qi State were completely different, so Fan Li changed his plan.

Second: Grasp the opportunity. Actually, everything in the world is basically the same. Fan Li knows politics and the art of war, and he also needs business strategy. Understand the extreme importance of opportunities to business, do things in a planned way, not blindly and without hesitation. The lifeblood of commodities lies in circulation, accelerating the circulation of commodities and maintaining the stability of cash flow. At the same time, buy goods at a low price, sell them at a high price, and earn the middle price difference. This is very simple, but the judgment of commodity price trend is the key.

Third, Fan Li does not pursue profiteering in business, but advocates small profits but quick turnover, based on the long-term development of business. This kind of business thinking accords with traditional Confucianism.

Fan Li's success in politics and business has always adhered to the principle of flexibility. Politically flexible, Fan Li quickly retreated and saved his life. Flexible management can make Fan Li accumulate huge wealth many times and achieve the greatest success.
