Chapter 4 Chapter Three Absurd Requests

Sure enough, after taking back those photos, Tao Qiquan smiled at me and rubbed his hands: "Mr. Wei, you must be wondering why I invited you to meet me?" I nodded and said, "Exactly. If you have anything to do, please tell me directly. I like to have fun, and I don't like to guess riddles with others!" Tao Qiquan said: "Okay, Mr. Wei, I'm going to invite you to visit my hometown and do something for me." I frowned, Tao Qiquan actually made such a request, which was beyond my expectation. His hometown is naturally the area under the rule of that regime, and one of his fellow villagers is Li Enye's third son, who is also an important figure in that regime.

Why did he need someone to go home?Could it be that he wants to cooperate with the other party? However, that is absolutely impossible. Even if he intends to cooperate with the other party (that is naturally a big news that attracts the attention of the world), I am definitely not the right person to be sent by him to communicate. Some of his subordinates are various Talent, why should I arrange it? This just baffled me, I frowned, and for a moment, I couldn't figure out what he was thinking. Tao Qiquan hastily said: "Please don't get me wrong, I'm sending you there for a personal matter, a personal matter!"

Tao Qiquan repeatedly stated that it was a "personal matter". Although some doubts in my mind were eliminated, I still didn't understand. I said: "Mr. Tao, you have all kinds of talents under your command. If you have important Private affairs, why don't you send them to do it?" Tao Qiquan said: "I need someone who has nothing to do with me. I never want the other party to know that I sent someone back to my hometown, because what I want to do is extremely secret." I asked again: "So, why did you choose me?" Tao Qiquan looked at me. There was an intimidating force in his eyes. All successful entrepreneurs have that kind of eyes, which makes it easy for them to persuade others to do things they are not willing to do.

Then, he said: "Mr. Wei, I have heard many legends about you, and I also know that you are witty enough to deal with all changes. Moreover, you can speak many dialects, even the dialect of my hometown. very good!" I spread my hands: "That's just a joke. You should know what kind of regime your hometown is under the rule of terror. If a stranger appears there, the militiamen will kill him within five minutes. I was arrested as a spy!" Tao Qiquan said: "So I want to send someone who is smart enough, and this person can take responsibility for himself, even if something happens, I can't do anything, and I don't plan to do anything, you know, it's impossible to save , everything depends on you!"

I smiled: "Mr. Tao, I'm not going to agree to your request at all, I—" Tao Qiquan suddenly interrupted me: "I can say that I am asking you, but I can also say that I am entrusting you to do it. As long as you do what I want you to do, you can make any demands. An island in the South Pacific, or a bank in Hong Kong, you can choose, do you think you are satisfied with this kind of remuneration?" A small island in the South Pacific, or a bank in Hong Kong, such a reward is a great temptation for anyone, but I still shake my head. I knew that if I went to his hometown, the most likely end would be to be arrested as a spy, and sent to do hard work in a place where the temperature is as low as minus 40 degrees in winter. I am not a "superman", I can The chances of escaping to bask in the sun on my "island in the South Pacific" were slim to nonexistent!

I said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tao, you can send someone else to go, as long as there are half a bank, there will be thousands of people willing to go!" Tao Qiquan smiled bitterly: "This is the difficulty. There are thousands of people willing to go, but I don't want them. I need someone like you to complete the task!" I jokingly said: "You don't need someone like me, you should have a fairy, or a superman, or else, Nezha can do it too!" Tao Qiquan must be a big man after all. In his daily life, it is absolutely impossible for someone to tease him like that, so he felt that he could not bear it, and he became a little angry: "Mr. Wei, you can refuse my request, but you can't make fun of me." !"

I saw that he spoke very seriously, and I also knew that our meeting should be over here! I stood up and put away my smile: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Tao, please forgive me, I'm a casual person, I think you must be busy, I'm leaving!" Tao Qiquan hummed: "Chairman Yang, please send Mr. Wei out!" Although Chairman Yang has been in the study all the time, he has never made a sound. It was only at this moment that he agreed: "Yes!" I have already walked towards the door, Chairman Yang walked beside me, the door opened automatically, I passed through the spacious passage, and came to the elevator, until I entered the elevator, Chairman Yang sighed: "Mr. Wei, don't you You know, this is the first time I've seen him beg for help!"

I shrugged noncommittally. Chairman Yang said again: "He really needs your help, but you refused him!" I said: "He has a lot of money, what can't he do? As long as he is willing to pay, he is invaluable." His countrymen will also welcome him!" Chairman Yang didn't say anything, just smiled wryly and sighed. Seeing his worried look made me laugh too. He sent me out of the house, and I still got into the expensive big car. When I got into the car, I suddenly remembered that as soon as I heard that I was going to Tao Qiquan's hometown, I rejected his request straight away. What he wants me to do, I don't know yet!

However, in the current situation, of course, I can no longer get out of the car and ask him. Moreover, even if I asked, Tao Qiquan would definitely not answer me, so I had no choice but to leave Tao Qiquan's palace-like mansion with doubts. After I got home, I thought about my meeting with Tao Qiquan for three days. I was thinking, what exactly is Tao Qiquan asking me to go to his hometown?Since he spent so long talking to me about Fengshui and his family's prosperity, I can be sure that what he wants me to do must be related to Fengshui. However, that is really impossible. I am not a Feng Shui master. All my words and deeds are based on scientific beliefs. I have doubts about everything, but it is based on scientific viewpoints. I don’t even believe that there are so-called Regarding Feng Shui, it seems that Tao Qiquan had collected my information in detail before meeting with me. He should not be ignorant of this, so why did he come to me?

This question has bothered me for three days, because Tao Qiquan is not an ordinary person, he must have very important things for me to do, so my curiosity is really very strong. However, after three days, I stopped thinking about it because I knew I couldn't think of it. I completely forgot about it. About 20 days after I met Tao Qiquan, on that day, it was raining and the rain was very dense. I was sitting on the balcony enjoying the rain scene. I heard the doorbell, and then Lao Cai came and told me: "There is a Mr. Tao is here to see you." I have a lot of friends, and it's not surprising that someone came to visit me, so I said casually, "Please come up."

Lao Cai agreed to leave, and came up again after a while, I heard someone call me: "Mr. Wei!" Most of the people who come to my house to see me are acquaintances, and acquaintances would never call me "Mr. Wei", so I turned my head in surprise, but when I turned my head, I was even more surprised ! Standing behind me was actually Tao Qiquan! This rich man, who is not easy to get even the head of state, actually came to my home! In an instant, I definitely didn't like it because a rich man came to my home. I just felt strange. At the same time, I immediately thought that something very important must have happened to him, otherwise, how could he will come to me? I stood up: "Mr. Tao, what a surprise!" Tao Qiquan didn't say anything, he just pulled a deck chair and sat down, I looked at him, and after a while, he said: "It's only six days." I was baffled, what does the phrase "only six days away" mean? I was still looking at him, and he said again: "The first thing has been fulfilled. A fire broke out in one of my oil fields in Indonesia. Experts looked at it and said that the fire in this oil field cannot be put out within a month. After a month, there may be nothing left!" I still don't understand what he's talking about, he caught fire in an oil field in Indonesia, what does it matter to me, he wants to come and tell me? Tao Qiquan continued: "Ten minutes ago, I received a telegram saying that a politician from a certain country who has always cooperated with me has lost power, and the new one who came to power is my deadly enemy. He may confiscate my personal information in this country. All property!" I frowned, looking at the rich man, seeing his troubled look, I was really funny. It is not a happy thing for a person to get too much. If you give a child an apple, he will smile. If you give him two, he will cry with joy. He couldn't hold three apples in his hand, so he burst into tears. I shook my head: "For you, if an oil field burns out, or loses the economic power of a country, there is really no loss at all!" Tao Qiquan stared straight at me, looking at his expression, as if possessed by an evil spirit: "No, I know, that's just a sign, I'm done, and it won't be long before everything is over for me!" I was surprised to hear him say that. Because he spoke very seriously, it definitely didn't look like he was joking, and his hands were still shaking slightly. He felt that he would be "finished". This is really something that anyone would be surprised to hear. His career kingdom is so huge, how could it be "finished" in a short period of time? I really couldn't figure out how a few small blows could cause such pessimism in his heart.In fact, if a person is so vulnerable to pessimism and disappointment, it is really hard to imagine how he can establish such a huge career kingdom. I looked at Tao Qiquan, for a while, I really didn't know what to say, Tao Qiquan murmured: "They are right, fifty years, only fifty years, and then it's over!" I was even more baffled. Under such circumstances, I had to ask him, "What do you mean by fifty years?" Tao Qiquan looked very depressed: "Do you still remember the two geologists I told you about?" Those two Feng Shui gentlemen! I couldn't help sighing, and said, "Remember, there are two of them, one is Yang Zibing and the other is Rong Baiyi, right?" Tao Qiquan nodded and said, "Yes." I spread my hands: "Your oil field in Indonesia is on fire, what does it have to do with them?" I really can't help but satirize him in my speech, because I'm tired of Mr. Feng Shui! But Tao Qiquan said solemnly: "They are right. After my father became a rich man in Nanyang, he went back specially to thank them two. Check it out once!" I said: "Well, that picture swallows the ground!" When he said that, he didn't show any shame at all, which made me a little embarrassed to mock him again. He continued: "The two of them, after detailed investigation, both agreed that this picture of swallowing the land has only 50 years of luck. No matter how bad it is, it will disappear in a short time!" I was stunned for a moment: "When you came in just now, you said that there were only six days left, so that means: there will be another six days, and it will be fifty years?" Tao Qiquan said: "Yes, in another six days, it will be a full fifty years. My career is already showing signs of collapse. I really can't imagine what will happen after fifty years!" He stopped for a while when he was talking, and then said: "Mr. Wei, I can't fail, I absolutely can't, if I fail, it will be worse than people who have nothing at all!" I felt pitiful and ridiculous at the same time. He really believed in Feng Shui so strongly that when he said the last few words, his voice was trembling. He thought he would die. I spread my hands: "Mr. Tao, if you really believe that a piece of land thousands of miles away will have such a big impact on your career, then you should consult Mr. Feng Shui. As far as I know, You just spent some money, there must be a remedy..." I wanted to say: "For example, in your bedroom, hang a recessed mirror or something," but seeing his anxious look, I thought it would be too cruel for me to say that again, so I couldn't help not saying it. Tao Qiquan said: "Yang Zibing and Rong Baiyi have taught my father a long time ago. They said that before fifty years have passed, my grandfather's bones must be dug up. That piece of land is only lucky for fifty years. After someone is buried, the feng shui will change in fifty years, from swallowing the ground to a hundred failures, to get my grandfather's bones out, that is the only way!" I stood up abruptly, and at that moment, I couldn't say a word. After a long while, I forced out a few words angrily: "Mr. Tao, the last time you met me and asked me to go to your hometown, it turned out that you wanted me to dig up your grandfather's body." Tao Qiquan hurriedly said, "Yes, are you willing to agree?" I couldn't bear it anymore, and I scolded him loudly: "Don't dream, I will never do such absurd things for you!" After hearing my resolute refusal, Tao Qiquan sat blankly like a person condemned to death. I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with my refusal, but I felt that my attitude might be too much, so I said: "I don't want to go, it doesn't matter, you can find someone else to go!" Tao Qiquan lowered his head, and said after a long while: "I have sent three people there before and after, two of them were arrested, but there was no news from them. come out." I said: "He didn't complete the task? Just go there and complete the task, what's the problem?" Tao Qiquan smiled wryly and said, "You take things too easily. The man who escaped said that on my grandfather's cemetery, there are troops from the Shang Company stationed there, and even the road up the mountain is full of soldiers!" I stayed for a while, then smiled and said, "What is that for? This kind of thing sounds like a fairy tale!" Tao Qiquan said: "It's not surprising at all. They want to expand their economic power to the entire region of Asia, but the strongest opponent they encounter is me. They want to see me fail. Only when I fail can they succeed. They must They also know that the land will be turned into Feng Shui fifty years later, so they won't let my grandfather's body be unearthed!" Hearing this, I couldn't help it! I laughed out loud, and I laughed so hard that I burst into tears.Then, I sat on the chair and couldn't stop panting. It was so funny that Tao Qiquan said such words in a serious manner! Tao Qiquan looked at me angrily and said frequently, "Don't laugh, don't laugh!" If I didn't breathe slowly, I would still continue to laugh. I said loudly, "Mr. Tao, don't forget that they are materialists. Do materialists also believe that Feng Shui may make you fail?" Tao Qiquan shook his head and said: "That's not surprising. They are also Chinese. All Chinese people cannot escape the influence of Feng Shui and believe in the cycle of cause and effect. Even their supreme leader, isn't it because one son died and the other lost his hair?" Crazy, but did you say, 'The one who started the evil has no heirs'? Moreover, the powerful one, if his ancestors hadn't occupied that piece of blood, he wouldn't have made his fortune!" Tao Qiquan said it so seriously, I wanted to laugh again, but all of a sudden, I didn't feel that this matter was ridiculous anymore, I felt that this matter was extremely serious. Tao Qiquan has a huge career and a solid and broad economic foundation. If he is "finished", then it will have an extremely profound impact on the entire Asian economy, and even the world economy. Of course, it will be a bad impact. In particular, if he fails and the opponent takes the opportunity to rise, then the impact will be far-reaching. This kind of feng shui problem may involve political and economic turmoil in the entire Asia! My expression must have been very serious at that time, I looked at Tao Qiquan, Tao Qiquan believed in Feng Shui, there should be no doubt about it, otherwise, his nerves would not have been so nervous that he seemed to be on the verge of collapse. And if the opponent knows this, they may use this to attack him! Tao Qiquan is in charge of a huge business. Once he collapses, the business that he has managed will gradually disappear. It is not difficult. Now I am willing to believe that there is a company of troops and a large number of militiamen guarding his grandfather's cemetery. something happened! Because, as long as Tao Qiquan's grandfather's skeleton is still in the field by the fiftieth anniversary, Tao Qiquan must have a nervous breakdown, and the other party will have an excellent opportunity! I want to tell Tao Qiquan everything I thought of, but I see that Tao Qiquan is the kind of person who is so stubborn that he can't explain it. No matter what I say, he will not believe it. I changed my mind in an instant, and I said solemnly: "Okay, Mr. Tao, since the matter is so serious, then I will go through it for you. I think you should have confidence in me, even if the other party has a master." If someone is watching, I may also complete the task!" Tao Qiquan was so grateful for that moment, it was really not easy for people to forget. He held my hand tightly and said repeatedly: "Great, that's really great, you have done this for me, no matter what reward you want, I can give it to you!" I smiled: "Then wait until the matter is completed. I think there are still six days, which means fifty years. There is still plenty of time. I decided to leave tomorrow. You must not tell anyone!" Tao Qiquan hurriedly said: "Of course, I came to see you by myself, and I didn't even need a driver." I said again: "Don't mention it to anyone, not even the most trusted ones!" The reason why I have repeatedly told him to keep the secret is that I suspect that among the trusted people around him, there must be people who have been bribed by the other party, otherwise, the other party would not know that he believes in Feng Shui so much find his weakness. Tao Qiquan left with gratitude, but in my heart, I just felt amused, so that after he left, I couldn't help laughing again. Whoever is really planning to go to his hometown to dig up the bones of dead people, that's the real hell! Of course, I promised Tao Qiquan just now, but that kind of promise is naturally a kind of deception.Moreover, at this time, I was not deceiving at all, and felt uneasy. Just think about it, Tao Qiquan will be deceived by such boring things as "feng shui", and if I deceive him again, what is it? Although I was lying to him, in fact, I was also saving him. When he thought that his grandfather's bones had really been dug up by me from the damned "whale ground", he would not No matter how nervous he is, if his nerves are no longer so nervous, then a fire in an oil field or a coup d'etat in a small country are all insignificant blows to him, and he won't take it to heart at all! All I have to do is start tomorrow, change my clothes, tell some friends that I'm going on a long trip, and then find a place to hide for six days, and that's it. The reason why I still make a statement is because I think that Tao Qiquan may conduct a secret investigation on me to investigate whether I have left. When he thinks that I have really left, he will be at ease, and then, after the sixth day, I will appear again, and I will report the results of this trip to him vividly, to satisfy him, believe So far, it has been extremely easy for me. So, that night, I didn't think about Tao Qiquan at all. I just thought, where should I spend the past six days?Naturally, I want to find a remote place where too many people can see me, otherwise it will be bad. I quickly made a decision. I decided to go fishing by a small lake. The scenery of the small lake is very beautiful. There are also several hotels that are not in the tourist season and almost no one patronizes them. It would be great to live there for five or six days, avoiding the hustle and bustle of the city, and "do a big thing" for Tao Qiquan! When I thought about it, I couldn't help laughing again. That night, the packing I packed was completely suitable for fishing by the small lake. I carefully checked my pair of fishing tools that had not been used for a long time, and put them all in a suitcase. I am used to going to bed late at night. Since I have decided to use my own way to meet Tao Qiquan's request, Tao Qiquan's visit did not affect my life. When I was reading a book under the lamp, the phone rang suddenly, I picked it up, and heard an indistinct voice: "Is that Mr. Wesley?" I don't like this kind of mysterious voice the most, so at that time, I was already a little impatient, and I said, "Yes. Who are you?" The man didn't answer my question, he just said: "For your own sake, you'd better meet me now." That kind of threatening words aroused my extreme disgust, and I immediately sneered: "I'm sorry, I'm not as free as you!" Without waiting for any further response from the other party, I immediately put down the phone.However, less than half a minute later, the phone rang again.I was a little angry, and as soon as I picked up the phone, I said loudly: "I've already said, I don't want to meet people like you at all!" But the man said: "Actually, you don't even know what kind of person I am!" I was stunned for a while, that guy was right, in fact, I don't know who he is at all!
