Hai Fei lingered in front of the bronze mirror, looking at herself. "Only the eyes are still the same as when I was young." He was talking to himself, turning around and walking slowly on the bright marble floor.He shuffled with aged steps between the black onyx pillars and past several tables carved with ivory friezes. The couches and ottomans shimmered with tortoise shells.On the walls studded with gemstones, the delicate patterns of tapestry shone.In the bronze flower pots, huge palm branches and leaves grow quietly, bathed in the fountain of plaster beauty.Gem-encrusted flower beds compete with the flowers within.Anyone who has been to Hafi's magnificent mansion will say that he is a very rich man.

The old man walked through a walled garden into a barn about five hundred paces away on the other side of the building.His steward, Erama, was waiting for him at the entrance. "Good morning, sir." Hai Fei nodded and continued walking silently.Irama followed with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't understand why the master chose this place to meet.The two masters and servants walked to the unloading platform, Hai Fei stopped and watched the bags of goods come off the stage from the carriage and piled up in the warehouse by category. Among these were wool, linen, parchment, honey, carpets, and oils from Asia Minor, glass, figs, walnuts, essences, clothing and medicines from Palmyra, ginger, cinnamon, and precious stones from Arabia, Corn, paper, granite, alabaster, and black porcelain from Egypt, tapestries from Babylon, paintings from Rome, and statues from Greece.The air was filled with the smell of essence, and Haifei's sensitive nose also smelled the sweet smell of plum, apple, cheese and ginger.

Then he turned to Iramar: "Old fellow, how much cash is in our vault?" "all?" "all." "I haven't made an inventory recently, but it's always over seven million gold coins." "How much is the spot stock in the warehouse converted into gold coins?" "My lord, the goods for this season haven't arrived yet, but I want to say at least three million gold coins." Hai Fei nodded. "Don't buy any more. Sell all the stock immediately and exchange it for gold." The boss was stunned and couldn't say a word.He took a few steps back as if being hit, and finally said: "Master, you have confused me, we have the best fortune this year, and all the stores said that the sales volume increased again last quarter. Even the Roman military bought from us. Didn't you sell two hundred Arabian stallions to the governor of Jerusalem in two weeks? Please forgive me, sir, I seldom contradict you, but this one Well, I really don't understand why you would..."

Hai Fei smiled slightly, and took Lao Yi's hand kindly, "Old Yi, do you still remember the first thing I asked you to do when you first came here many years ago?" Irama frowned, and then her eyes suddenly lit up, "You told me to give half of what I earn to the poor every year." "At that time, didn't you think I was a fool for doing business?" "I felt at the time..." Hai Fei nodded, and pointed to the unloading platform, "Don't you admit that you were too worried?" "Yes, sir." "Then I advise you to have faith in what I have just asked you to do, and I will explain to you what I mean. I am old and want very simple things, and since Lisa is gone I have Decided to distribute all the wealth to the poor in the city, and keep enough for yourself. In addition to cleaning up the property, I hope you prepare some documents, transfer the ownership certificates of the branches to the accounts of all branches, and Give each accountant another five forward points, and they have been loyal and hardworking for so many years. From now on, they can sell whatever they like.”

Iramar opened his mouth, but Hefei waved his hand to stop him. "You don't really like doing that, do you?" The old manager shook his head and forced a smile, "No, sir, I just don't understand why you did this, it seems that after you confessed..." "That's how you are, Old Yi. You always think about me, and never think about yourself. If we don't do business, you don't think about yourself?" "I've been with you for so many years, how can I only think about myself?" Hai Fei hugged the old servant and continued: "Don't do this, I want you to transfer fifty thousand gold coins to your account immediately, and then I beg you to stay and leave after I settle a matter that has been on my mind for many years. At that time, I will leave you the mansion and the warehouse, and then I will go to Lisa."

The boss stared at the master with wide eyes, unable to believe his ears, "50,000 gold coins, house, warehouse,..." Hai Fei nodded, "I have always regarded your loyalty as the greatest wealth. Compared with it, this little thing I gave you is nothing at all. You know the art of living, not for yourself, but for yourself. Others are alive, this is what makes you different. What I want you to do now is to help me complete the plan as soon as possible. My days are numbered. For me, there is nothing more important than time." Erama turned her head so her master could not see the tears in her eyes. "You said you have a wish, what is the wish? You treat me like a family member, but I have never heard any wish from you."

Hai Fei folded her arms on her chest, smiling, "After you finish what I told you this morning, I will tell you a secret, which only Lisa knows. Thirty years... .”
