Chapter 3 Chapter Two Relying on Feng Shui to Become a Rich Man

It was not easy to meet Tao Qiquan. Tao Qiquan is the richest man in Southeast Asia. He owns countless properties. His daily income is a huge figure. He has always been the source of people's oral conversations. He can also be said to be an extremely mysterious figure. There are several An American reporter once reported on his life, saying that the life of an emperor in any dynasty was not as luxurious as that of Tao Qiquan. When I came to the building where Tao Qiquan lived, I deeply felt that the words of those American reporters were not exaggerated at all. The car climbed up the mountain meanderingly. Looking back, more than half of the whole city was already in sight. The car drove through an iron gate with automatic opening and closing, and then drove into another iron gate of the same type. In front of it was a huge man-made lake.

The water of the artificial lake is clear, and there are mountain peaks on both sides of the lake, and water from the mountains rushes into the lake.There is a nine-curved bridge leading to the center of the lake. There is a pavilion in the center of the lake. In the clear water of the lake, you can see two-foot-long golden carps swimming around. The car was driving along the lake, and I saw a clear stream flowing forward. The stream was not deep, and the bottom of the stream was full of colorful pebbles. circle, flows through a large garden, and then flows back into the artificial lake. There were five or six stone steps at the main entrance of the mansion, and the car stopped just before the stone steps.

As soon as the car stopped, a middle-aged man in a brilliant suit and extraordinary bearing walked down the stone steps. The driver in uniform had already opened the car door for me, and I got out of the car. The middle-aged man stepped forward and shook hands with me. I have met this middle-aged man several times. He is the chairman of a large bank and one of the top bankers in the city. However, in Tao Qiquan's "Palace", he can only play the role of welcoming the guests. This shows how Tao Qiquan is rich and powerful! I shook hands with him: "Chairman Yang, long time no see!"

"Long time no see!" Chairman Yang shook my hand: "Mr. Tao is waiting for you!" I walked up the stone steps with him and stepped into the hall. As soon as I stepped into the hall, I couldn't help being stunned for a moment. The large Persian carpet with the entire story of the Crusades under my feet almost made me reluctant to step on it. It is superfluous to describe the gorgeous situation in the hall. It can make people take a deep breath, open their mouth wide, and be speechless. Chairman Yang said: "Please follow me!" I let out a sigh of relief: "Chairman, Mr. Tao and I have never met before, and I can't think of anything in common between us. He specially invited someone to invite me to meet him. Why?"

Chairman Yang smiled: "Mr. Wei, to be honest, I don't know either. Although I control some powerful banks, you must know that I am just his subordinate." I understand that Chairman Yang is telling the truth, so I didn't say anything.Although the huge house is a Chinese-style building, all the equipment inside are modern. I followed Chairman Yang and came to a carved mahogany door. The door opened, and inside was a very comfortable small living room. Chairman Yang and I walked in together. Just as I was about to sit down, the door closed automatically. I felt that the "small living room" seemed to be rising upwards. I looked at it in surprise, and Chairman Yang said, "Mr. Tao is waiting for you on the third floor!"

It turned out that it was an elevator, but I used it as a small living room! The door opened again, and Chairman Yang and I walked out. It was another hall, one side of which was entirely made of glass. Looking out, you could see the beautiful scenery of the whole city. Chairman Yang led me to another door. As soon as he stood still, the door automatically moved away. I also heard a "rustling" sound. I looked forward and was stunned again. stay for a while. It was a huge room, and the area of ​​the room, I estimated at a glance, was about 500 square meters. This room, I can only call it a "game room", because in the whole room, there is a circuitous electric sports car track, a red sports car is speeding on the track, in front of a console, There was a middle-aged man with gray hair at the temples, but he was full of energy, and he was concentrating on controlling the sports car.

When the sports car turned a sharp turn and was driving on the straight road again, he let go of the hand holding the switch and raised his head. Even if he hadn't looked up just now, I knew who he was. He is Tao Qiquan, the world famous rich man! He is not an old-fashioned businessman, but a highly educated big entrepreneur. He himself holds the title of Doctor of Economics from two famous universities, and can be said to be one of the outstanding figures in the twentieth century. After he raised his head, he stood up, and Chairman Yang hurriedly stepped forward: "Mr. Tao, the guests are here!"

Tao Qiquan looked very graceful, as if he was born to be flattered and obey his orders. He waved his hand slightly, and the chairman of the big banker immediately retreated. He was very polite to me. He came over and shook hands with me: "Mr. Wesley? Long time! Long time!" I was naturally polite. After finishing the polite words, there seemed to be nothing more to say. Tao Qiquan pointed at the console of the toy sports car in a trance: "Are you interested in this thing? Let's play together? Why? Sample?" Before I could answer, he commented again: "Don't look at this as a toy, it also makes sense. It should be fast when it should be fast, and slow when it should be slow. Otherwise, it will derail and overturn!"

I listened patiently, although I was already very impatient in my heart, and I always thought it was a hypocritical thing to conceal my inner feelings, so even though I was in front of a big man like Tao Qiquan, I still said bluntly: "Mr. Tao, you have entrusted so many people, and you want to meet me, not necessarily because you want to play electric sports cars with me!" Tao Qiquan was taken aback for a moment, obviously, he was not very used to such stealing, although what I said was actually extremely polite. I saw him rubbing his hands, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer me. Chairman Yang was on the side, obviously trying to smooth things over, but he didn't know what to say except for a couple of dry laughs. it is good.

The atmosphere at that time was somewhat awkward, but I still kept silent. A big man like Tao Qiquan suddenly asked a few friends of mine to say that he wanted to meet me. Waste on an electric sports car. I waited for about a minute before Tao Qiquan resolutely said: "Of course, you are right, I have something to tell you." "Please speak!" I urged straightforwardly. Tao Qiquan rubbed his hands again, which was a sign of his embarrassment. I don't know what embarrassment Tao Qiquan has in his heart, and I, who can be said to have nothing to do with him, why did he Want to come to me again?

I was wondering in my heart, Tao Qiquan said: "Come, sit in my study, let's talk in detail!" As he spoke, he walked forward. The door is electronically controlled. When people walk to the door, the door will automatically open. The three of us, stepping on the thick carpet, entered the elevator again, and the elevator reached the top floor. After passing a hall with a glass roof, the hall is also a greenhouse, where at least a hundred kinds of orchids are cultivated. Then, he entered Tao Qiquan's study.The furnishing of the study room is all in classical style. We sat down on the large leather sofa, and then, Tao Qiquan pressed the control button on the armrest of the chair, and a radio-controlled wine cart moved over automatically. After everyone has a cup in hand, the conversation box is easy to open.Tao Qiquan, who had been silent since leaving the game room, suddenly asked me: "Mr. Wei, do you believe in Fengshui?" That question was not only extremely abrupt, but also completely inexplicable. No matter how I guessed, I would never have thought that the topic of Tao Qiquan's conversation with me would be related to "Feng Shui", so for a while, I thought I had heard it wrong. I asked back, "What did you say?" "Feng Shui." Tao Qiquan answered me. I still don't understand, my heart is full of doubts, and at the same time, how funny it is, I said: "Why do you ask me like this, do you believe it?" Tao Qiquan didn't answer my question, he just said: "Mr. Wei, I know you are interested in all kinds of weird things, so I invited you here." I said sarcastically, "Come discuss Feng Shui with me?" Tao Qiquan was stunned for a while, to my surprise, he nodded and admitted, "Yes!" I hurriedly said: "Mr. Tao, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Although I have a strong interest in many weird and absurd things, I think Feng Shui is beyond the scope of weird and absurd. within the scope of my interests and knowledge!" Tao Qiquan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, let's not discuss what Fengshui is all about, just listen to me tell you something about Fengshui that happened fifty years ago, okay?" I smiled: "Mr. Tao, it's not very cost-effective to tell me a story, because I will write it down and publish it publicly." Tao Qiquan said calmly: "It doesn't matter, you can publish it anyway, but please change your real name when you publish it." Since Tao Qiquan said that, I am too embarrassed not to listen to his story from fifty years ago. Moreover, before Tao Qiquan told it, I already expected that his story must be related to Fengshui. I guessed it was right. The story Tao Qiquan told was related to Fengshui. It was recorded at the beginning of the article that Li Enye, Yang Zibing, and Rong Baiyi went to the mountains to find good acupoints. I tried my best to listen patiently, and another main reason why I could finish listening to the fabulous legend was because the sofa was soft and comfortable, and the wine was mellow and wonderful. However, when I finished listening to Tao Qiquan's story, I still couldn't help laughing impolitely. Tao Qiquan took a breath: "Mr. Wei, don't laugh, I haven't finished my story yet." I smiled: "Please continue." Tao Qiquan said: "The strong man I mentioned just now went to ask Yang Zibing for advice overnight. His surname is Tao, and he is my father." I straightened up and stared at Tao Qiquan strangely. I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't. Tao Qiquan continued: "Now you understand that it is my grandfather who is buried in that whaling ground." I was stunned for a while, and then said: "I understand." Tao Qiquan continued: "Shortly after my father buried my grandfather, he crossed the ocean with a few people, and when he arrived in Nanyang, he first worked hard in a rubber plantation, and later worked in a tin mine. In three years, he became a rich man. He married a wife and had a son in Nanyang. He only has one son, and I have inherited his business after I finished my studies until today." I took a breath and said, "Mr. Tao, do you think your father and your career success are all due to the luck brought by the burial of your grandfather's bones in a piece of land tens of thousands of kilometers away?" Tao Qiquan didn't answer my question directly, he just said: "When my father was alive, he told me about this incident at least ten times, so I was very impressed!" But I refused to let him go, and I followed up and asked: "It's one thing to impress you with this incident, do you believe it, and another thing, do you believe it?" Under my persecution, Tao Qiquan had to give a positive answer. He looked at me for a moment, and then said: "Yes, I believe it!" I put out the cigarette in my hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Tao, as far as I know, you are a highly educated person!" Tao Qiquan talked about him again, he said: "This Chairman Yang is the nephew of Yang Zibing, a well-known geologist." I smiled and said, "By the way, your father promised Mr. Yang to take care of his offspring." Tao Qiquan frowned: "You don't seem to believe in Feng Shui at all, but don't you think it's a miracle that the Tao family can become rich?" I said: "It's a miracle, but this miracle is created by people, not by Feng Shui." Tao Qiquan remained silent, and Chairman Yang's face was even more disapproving, but he didn't speak. It was obvious that he was very reserved in front of Tao Qiquan and didn't dare to speak out. I said again: "If it is said that Feng Shui has spirit, then Li Enye's son should be a prominent man. Who is he? I think if he is very famous, I should know his name!" When I said that, I thought I hit Tao Qiquan's vitals.Tao Qiquan's grandfather was buried on the so-called "whale-swallowing ground", which made him rich. Then, Li Enye's father was buried on the bloody ground, and he should also get his wish! If Li Enye's descendants didn't have any dignitaries at all, then the theory of Feng Shui would naturally be self-defeating! After I finished speaking, I looked at Tao Qiquan triumphantly to see how he would answer me. Tao Qiquan's expression was very serious, and he said: "That night, when he came back from the mountain survey, Li Enye called out his six sons, and asked Mr. Rong Baiyi and Yang Zibing who they would be responsible for, but neither of them answered. , because it was God’s will, and it’s hard for people to know. Later, I realized that it should be on the third son who was only twelve years old at the time.” "Really?" I raised my eyebrows: "Who is he?" Tao Qiquan's voice became very deep, and he said a person's name. In any case, I can't write this person's name here. Of course, this person's surname is not Li, because Li Enye's name has already been changed, so I can't write this person's real name. Come, and there is no need, because he has nothing to do with the whole story. It's a well-known name, and I dare say, everyone will go "Oh" when I say it. At that time, I was the same. When I heard Tao Qiquan say the name, I immediately shook, opened my mouth wide, and let out an "oh". Then, in the study room, it was surprisingly quiet. Anyone who has a little knowledge of modern history knows this person, he is not only a big show, he is simply too expensive. Tao Qiquan was the first to break the silence, he said, "What do you think, maybe you think it's a coincidence?" I smiled wryly, but I couldn't answer. Tao Qiquan was right, in my heart, I really thought it was a coincidence. But I can think it's a coincidence, but I can't convince Tao Qiquan to think it's a coincidence too! Tao Qiquan continued: "The later development of the Li family was exactly the opposite of my family's. It used to be a peaceful county town, but suddenly there were frequent riots. The huge property of the Li family disappeared in smoke. Almost all of the Li family died. Only the third Son, become a big man. You know, it is really expensive for Li Enye to ask for descendants, but under such circumstances, I am afraid that Li Enye will never think of it." He shook his head, and felt that Good Fortune was a bit tricky. I stayed for a while, and then said again: "Okay, the previous things have been finished, what's changed now?" Tao Qiquan said: "You are more or less interested in this matter, then we can talk further, let me show you some photos first." He opened a drawer, took out several large photos, and handed them to me one by one. When he handed the photos to me, he explained them one by one, saying: "This is the picture of the swallowing land, you see how beautiful the scenery is; this one is the bloody land, surrounded by thunderous pine trees, It's a pity that there was no color photography at that time, otherwise, you will see that the mound is almost vermilion." I was just looking at those photos carelessly. To be honest, although the story of Tao Qiquan is vivid, it is absolutely impossible for me to believe that the place where the corpse of the previous generation is buried will affect the fate of the next generation. things. I just looked at those photos briefly, praised the scenery in the photos casually, and then returned the photos to Tao Qiquan. Naturally, I knew that Tao Qiquan invited me, not just to tell me a story or show me a picture, so I guessed that he must have something else to ask of me. Moreover, I have made up my mind that if what Tao Qiquan asks me to do has something to do with the absurd Feng Shui, then I will definitely refuse him regardless of his embarrassment.
