"Sister, you really got it right, okay, let's continue!"
Tie Jun recalled the six dragons he had just talked about, smiled, and continued talking without criticizing them.
"Mate with a tiger and give birth to the seventh child, named Bian. He likes to fight against injustices, speaks out for justice, and loves to do all the work Bao Gong does.
Therefore, it appears on the prison door and on both sides of the lobby of the government office. It is not only a symbol of the prison, but also the patron saint of the common people.
Lao Ba and Lao Liu are two brothers, and their mother is a turtle, named Fu Xi. They are elegant, gentle and have outstanding literary talent. They are the greatest writers among the nine sons.
Therefore, it is coiled around the top of the stone monument, and its status is obviously much higher than that of its brother. Of course, it can also carry some light objects such as scrolls.
The last one, Lao Jiu, is paired with a fish, with a dragon head and a fish body, called Chi Kiss, which is what I want to focus on.
This guy is very fond of success, loves to show off, and has a huge mouth. It is said that he can swallow everything.
Ancient emperors and high-ranking officials invited it to the ridge of the house and nailed it with swords, hoping that Chi Kiss could help them swallow up all the wealth in the world.
Chi Kiss looks down at the human world, which is quite symbolic of a person's rapid rise to success, a person's attainment of enlightenment, and the ascension of chickens and dogs to heaven.
There are the most folklores about it, and I think Confucius’s explanation of it is the most appropriate and profound.
In Qufu, Shandong Province, in the inner residence of the Confucius Mansion, there is a mural called "Abandoning Covetousness", which is the mural above, but the name has been changed, and it is called greed.
Since it is called greed, it must be a greedy beast, with a gluttonous nature and insatiable greed. So how greedy is it?
In the mural, the colorful clouds around Tan are all treasures occupied by it.
Including the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, the treasures that the eight immortals rely on to cross the ocean, it can be said that there is everything you need.
But it was still not satisfied. It still stared at the sun, opened its big mouth, and tried to swallow the sun into its belly and take it as its own.
Legend has it that Greed carried all the treasures on his back across the ocean. Because they were too heavy, Greed could not bear to leave any of the treasures behind, so he finally sank to the bottom of the sea and drowned.
Although this is a bit ridiculous, the son of a dragon and a fish can die in any way, but drowning is too funny.
But this is a feature of folklore. The purpose of giving it such a death is to warn future generations not to be greedy or willing to give up.
Confucius used animals as metaphors for people in "Abandoning Covetousness", intending to warn his people to always be self-disciplined and not to be greedy and end up buried in the sea.
In Confucius' ideological system, abstaining from corruption is the first priority in housekeeping.
Sister, what I want to say is that although greed is dead, its soul is still causing chaos and affecting everyone.
Greed is human nature, and desire is the natural manifestation of human beings.
Just think about it, we are all mortals, who doesn’t have greed and desires?
Since ancient times, there have been countless corrupt officials. The big ones are greedy for wealth and can rival the country, and the small ones are greedy for food and clothing. There is no doubt that these people are the best among men.
It was ruined by the word greed.
To be equal to this, there must be loyal ministers who will fight against each other, serve the country with loyalty throughout their lives, care about the people, not just for themselves, but for the admiration of future generations, and their reputation will last forever.
Success is accomplished in this ring."
Tie Jun stopped and Qin Shuilan lowered his head in thought.
After a long time, Qin Shuilan raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, and she said softly: "Tie Jun, thank you, I will remember what you said today and remember the word "precept"!"
Tie Jun nodded and said: "Sister, don't be afraid, as the same saying goes, evil will not overwhelm good, and the law will not deceive others!"
"Okay, after you save Mr. Wu, come back and save sister!"
"Sister, you?"
"Haha, sister has a lot of greed on her head, don't think so much, just do it one by one."
Although Tie Jun asked again and again, Qin Shuilan never said a word.
After finishing her midnight snack, Qin Shuilan opened her arms and insisted on squaring off with Tie Jun. Tie Jun also wanted to see how good she was, so he smiled and accepted the challenge.
After a trial, Qin Shuilan was convinced that she had lost, and Tie Jun gave her a thumbs up.
"God, I didn't even touch the corners of your clothes, and you're still laughing at me!"
"Sister, I have an adventure. I will tell you later that you are a woman and you are capable of doing this."
"There are too many hooligans, and I was forced to do so."
"Hehehe, before I leave Tangshan, I will help you fix the gangster first."
"No, I'll wait for you to come again."
"That's okay, sister, it's already past 11 o'clock, I should go back, and you shouldn't work overtime, women age faster if they stay up late!"
"Haha, I got it, let's go, sister will see you off!"
The two of them went downstairs and found that no one was on the second floor. Only Zhenxia was sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor.
"Manager, Mr. Tie!"
Zhenxia stood up and greeted the two of them. Tie Jun nodded. Qin Shuilan asked, "Where are Mr. Tie's friends?"
“Playing poker with them in the product demonstration center!”
"Okay, let's call the warehouse manager and show Mr. Tie around our warehouse first."
"Okay, manager!"
Zhenxia ran to the backyard first, and Tiejun followed Qin Shuilan slowly.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Tie Jun was shocked. There was a very large house on the left, and the warehouse on the right was so big that it was almost a workshop for heavy machinery.
There were two warehouse managers, each holding a key. Tie Jun secretly praised, "Good!"
When I entered the warehouse, I saw rows of shelves, as neat as a guard of honor. The name of the manufacturer and product was written on the side of each shelf.
"Did you see that I account for 80% of these domestic manufacturers."
Qin Shuilan was very proud, while Tie Jun was secretly glad that he had come to the right place. The sales channels in Qin Shuilan's hands were a potential treasure.
"This year, I found that women have become more discerning in choosing cosmetics, and they are no longer satisfied with just one skin care product.
They want whitening cream, moisturizing cream, facial cleanser, after-bath lotion, facial mask, hand cream, etc.
Therefore, Wu Lao’s research and development direction is right, the market development space is huge, Shanghai Jahwa is leading the way, tell Wu Lao, you have to work hard!”
"Well, I will tell you, sister, why didn't I find foreign brands?"
"They have been talking to me, but I haven't thought about it yet. After all, my main market is not a first-tier city, and I don't really want to be an agent."
"That's right, you should be careful when dealing with them."
After walking around in a circle, Tie Jun remembered a question and turned to ask Qin Shuilan: "Sister, how do you manage the transportation of so many goods?"
"I cooperate with a transportation company. It holds 20% of my shares and I also hold 20% of its shares."
"It's okay for now, sister, haven't you ever thought about opening your own restaurant?
In this way, not only your own products can be transported, but other products can also be transported. Logistics will be quite profitable in the future."
"I'm afraid it won't work out. When we cooperate in the future, you can take the lead and we will just respond."
What Tie Jun wanted was this sentence, and he immediately expressed his stance: "No problem, let's adopt a joint-stock system!"
When they were done, the two walked out of the warehouse and came to the product demonstration center.
Inside are structures similar to booths. Each booth is for a brand and is equipped with an imported Sony color TV.
"Hey, sister, you are really willing to spend money. Just this TV costs a lot of money, right?"
"It's all about face, why don't you spend money on it!"
Tie Jun agreed with Qin Shuilan's words. In this era, Qin Shuilan was the most savvy businessman Tie Jun had ever seen, even better than Lao Wu.
