Shen Fu, who didn't like reading, was very interested in one thing.
This is business.
So.
He often pays attention to the Shen family's grain trading.
In this grain business, the Shen family is getting better and better, making the Shen family a well-known wealthy family in Zhouzhuang Town.
Seeing that Mr. Shen was making a lot of money from his business, Mr. Shen decided to make his first business!
He has already finalized the deal.
Just selling umbrellas!
Nowadays, it rains a lot in the north, so selling umbrellas is definitely a good business.
Immediately, Shen Fu took action and hired several men from Zhouzhuang Town to take a ride northward on the Grand Canal!
Several days passed.
Shen Fu arrived in the north and started his umbrella selling business.
Can bear fruit.
Accidents will happen.
There was no rain in the north, but a severe drought.
The weather was very hot and not a drop of rain fell.
Shen Fu was in a bad mood as he stared at the baskets and umbrellas on his stall.
He did not expect that his first business experience would have such a result.
According to his plan.
He came all the way to the north.
You can definitely make more than ten times the profit!
"Master Shen, why don't we go back!"
"Yes, it's so hot in the north and it's going to rain. We can't sell our umbrellas."
Several men from Zhouzhuang Town persuaded Shen Fu.
But Shen Fu didn't want to leave in disgrace.
He will continue to wait.
Wait until it rains.
"Let's wait for a few days."
Shen Fu said through gritted teeth.
Although the men in Zhouzhuang Town were helpless, they could only accompany Shen Fu to continue his mischief.
Seeing such video footage, many students burst into laughter.
"Will Shen Fu change his name to Shen Wansan later?"
"Shen Fu got off to a bad start. He didn't even sell a single umbrella."
"There is a severe drought in the north. If you can sell umbrellas, then you have seen it!"
"Shen Fu will definitely lose money, it might rain..."
"Damn it! You've already opened your mouth, haven't you?"
…
The students were talking all over the place, but gradually their eyes widened.
Because, in the video screen.
The originally hot weather suddenly gathered one dark cloud after another.
Look at this posture.
It was clearly about to rain heavily.
This made the students realize that Shen Fu could definitely make money.
Once it starts raining, this umbrella can't be sold casually!
as expected.
Seeing the sky covered with dark clouds, Shen Fu's fair face also showed a bright smile.
Been waiting for so long.
It's finally going to rain.
God is definitely looking after him.
Shen Fu thought silently in his heart.
It didn't take long.
"Crash! Crash!"
Rain falls.
People on the street hurriedly took shelter under the eaves of the houses at the end of the street.
Moreover, these pedestrians began to buy umbrellas.
Shen Fu originally thought that his opportunity to make money had come.
Can bear fruit.
A scene that shocked him appeared.
To the east of him is a drug store, but this drug store also sells umbrellas.
To the west of him is a teahouse, but this teahouse also sells umbrellas.
To the south of him was a grocery store, but this grocery store also sold umbrellas.
To the north of him is a rouge and gouache shop, but this rouge and gouache shop also sells umbrellas.
…
It can be said that there are suddenly many more shops selling umbrellas around.
Moreover, the price of umbrellas sold by Shen Fu is ten cents, but the price of umbrellas in those shops is generally eight cents or seven cents, which is far cheaper than Shen Fu.
Shen Fu realized that these guys were trying to steal business from him.
on the spot.
Shen Fu decisively lowered the price.
Six cents!
As a result, as soon as he lowered the price, those shops also lowered the price, even more severely than he did, costing just four cents!
Well-known as the half-price promotion!
Rich Shen was numb.
If he continues to lower the price.
Then, he will not make any money at all, and may even lose money.
After all, he wants money to hire these Zhouzhuang Town guys, right?
They are taking a boat ride and asking for money, right?
Will the expenses of their group during this time cost money?
…
etc.
Once these expenses are deducted.
Shen Fu only felt that this was his first time doing business, and he really lost all his money.
finally.
Shen Fu chose to continue to lower the price and sell the umbrella even at a loss.
Otherwise, he would lose even more money if he brought these umbrellas back to Zhouzhuang Town.
A low price.
Shen Fu’s umbrellas were sold out instantly.
However, his mood was very complicated.
Because his umbrellas were not sold to normal customers, but were purchased by surrounding shops.
And those stores have restored the selling prices of umbrellas to normal prices.
This made Shen Fu realize that these shop owners were clearly trying to deceive him, an outsider, by lowering prices.
But what can he say?
"Doing business is really not as easy as I thought."
Shen Fu showed a dejected expression and murmured to himself.
An idea came to his mind.
If he buys umbrellas from surrounding shops, does he have the right to decide the selling price of the umbrellas?
Just this thought, fleeting.
There are so many umbrellas, and he has the money to buy them.
Even if it is an acquisition, the risks involved are quite staggering.
That same day, in the afternoon.
Shen Fu and the men of Zhouzhuang Town took a boat and returned to Zhouzhuang Town along the Grand Canal.
Many days later.
Only then did Shen Fu and his party return to Zhouzhuang Town.
After arriving home.
When Shen Fu was greeted, his father gave him a scolding.
"You are capable when you go out to do business, aren't you?"
"Do you really think doing business is so easy and relaxing?"
"Look at you, you can't even sell an umbrella, you're completely manipulated by those shop owners!"
"You, you should study hard! Don't think about doing business!"
"You are not good at doing business at all!"
…
Father Shen scolded him so hard that foam flew out of his mouth.
Among them, a lot of smearing was splashed on Shen Fu's fair face.
But Shen Fu didn't dare to say anything and just stood at attention while being scolded.
Although he said nothing on the surface, Shen Fu was still quite unconvinced in his heart.
He didn't believe it. He was not a business person.
He firmly believes that as long as he is willing to learn how to do business, an iron pillar can be ground into a needle!
The next day, morning.
Shen Fu became much more honest and started reading obediently.
However, his enthusiasm for studying only lasted for three minutes.
As soon as the heat passed, he went out for a walk.
During this walk, he noticed a frog catcher.
The frog catcher didn't know where he caught hundreds of frogs.
Moreover, the frog catcher was also prepared to kill the frogs.
"Quack! Quack! Quack!"
Listening to the cry of frogs ringing in his ears, Shen Fu felt that it would be too cruel to kill these frogs.
So, he said directly and proudly, "I bought all these frogs!"
"Ah this!"
The frog catcher was surprised, but he also knew Shen Fu. There were few people in Zhouzhuang town who didn't know Shen Fu.
They all privately called Shen Fu a "prodigal son".
All because, not long ago, Shen Fu rushed to the north to sell umbrellas and ended up losing all his money.
This is not a prodigal son, what is this?
"Master Shen, do you really want to buy them all?"
The frog catcher's face was filled with joy.
"Master Shen, this frog meat is quite good. It can nourish your body."
"According to ancient books, eating frog meat can also slow down aging and strengthen your body!"
"Master Shen is now in the stage of growing his body. It is true that eating some frog meat will only have advantages and no disadvantages."
"I'm going to buy all these frogs at once. Master Shen is really rich!"
…
The people around him were whispering to each other, but they also felt that Shen Fucai could spend money.
With so many frogs, the price is not cheap.
However.
Shen Fu's next answer made the onlookers look astonished.
"I won't eat these frogs."
"Could it be that Master Shen is going to use these frogs to honor Master Shen? Master Shen, you are really a filial person!"
One of the onlookers said with a smile on his face.
Everyone nodded, absolutely certain.
Shen Fu shook his head, "I think these frogs are so pitiful, so I plan to buy them all with money and then release them."
"this……"
For a moment, the expressions of the people at the scene were frozen, and they were unable to utter a single word.
They really never expected that Shen Fu would actually release the frog.
Spend a lot of money and let it go.
Isn't this the inappropriate behavior of a prodigal?
How come Mr. Shen, a wise and mighty man, has such a prodigal son?
All the people murmured in their hearts and looked down upon Shen Fu more and more.
In full view of the public.
Shen Fu spent money to buy all the frogs.
Then, Shen Fu released the frogs in a pond.
After seeing the frogs jumping away from his sight, Shen Fu grinned and felt that he had done something very good and virtuous.
That night.
Shen Fu was scolded by his father again.
There is no other reason.
His action of releasing the frogs made the people of Zhouzhuang Town unanimously believe that Shen Fu was definitely an out-and-out prodigal, and there must even be something wrong with Shen Fu's brain.
"My son, can't you do something serious?"
Father Shen frowned, he seemed helpless with such a son in front of him.
Shen Fu pouted and did not refute.
Having been scolded many times by his father, Shen Fu knew that shutting up at this time was definitely the best choice.
Otherwise, if he said anything more, he would definitely be scolded even worse by his father.
This night.
Shen Fu had a dream.
In his dream, he saw a big frog as tall as a person.
Seeing such a big frog, Shen Fu was not afraid at all. Instead, he wondered why there were such huge frogs in the world.
At this time.
The big frog spoke human words, "Thank you for saving the lives of many of my companions. And I know a treasure. This treasure is in the pond you visited today."
"As long as you search carefully in the pond, you can find a big lotus. Under the big lotus, there is a sterling silver cornucopia. This treasure can let you get countless silver."
Hear the words.
Shen Fu was shocked and felt that this cornucopia was absolutely extraordinary.
Wait until you wake up.
Shen Fu rushed to the pond.
After groping for a while, I found a pure silver earthen basin under a big lotus.
After picking up the clay basin, Shen Fu hurried home and began to study the clay basin's abilities in his room.
soon.
He was completely stunned.
Because he put a piece of silver into an earthen basin.
It didn't take long.
Another identical piece of silver came out of the earthen basin.
Just use this method.
In the blink of an eye.
A large basin of silver actually appeared in the earthen basin.
"I have a cornucopia! I'm going to make a fortune!"
Shen Fu had a smile on his face and felt that a lot of money was swarming towards him.
Longdu No. 5 Middle School, Class 6, Grade 3 classroom.
Witnessing this magical and weird scene.
The students were stunned.
Even Ye Xiao was confused.
Because, in his opinion, this cornucopia is too magical!
It is simply unreasonable for such a magical thing to appear in the investment world of "Da Ming"!
"With such a cornucopia, Shen Fu will become rich!"
"Is this a frog repaying a favor? Is the giant frog that Shen Fu dreamed about a frog fairy?"
"Incredible! Unbelievable! Unimaginable!"
"Is it too late for me to invest in Shen Fu's investment stock?"
…
The students were all ready to make a move, feeling that Shen Fu's investment stock definitely had astonishing and terrifying potential.
But there are also some students who are pessimistic about whether having such a magical cornucopia will bring disaster to Shen Fu's life.
Some students think that it is simply illogical for a cornucopia to appear in this ancient world!
etc.
Students' opinions varied.
The head teacher, Zhang Guofei, always looked calm and composed, as if he was not surprised even by the appearance of this cornucopia.
At this time.
The video footage continues.
But when he saw Shen Fu in the picture, his eyes widened.
Because, the cornucopia in Shen Fu's vision actually disappeared.
Not only has the cornucopia disappeared.
Even everything around him disappeared.
When Shen Fu opened and closed his eyes.
But he met his younger brother Shen Gui.
And saw the thick sun outside the window.
"Brother, it's already three o'clock in the morning, why are you still sleeping?"
Shen Gui said.
"I……"
Shen Fu had a complicated expression, "My cornucopia! It turns out this is a dream!"
He thought it was the frog repaying the favor.
Can bear fruit.
There is no way to repay a favor.
It's all just his fantasy.
Seeing this, many students showed expressions of realization on their cheeks.
"It turns out that Shen Fu is daydreaming!"
"That's the thing about daring, there is no cornucopia at all!"
"Is it really a cornucopia?"
"If there is a cornucopia, Shen Fu will never be able to protect it, and it will even lead to death!"
…
The students spoke with regretful expressions on their faces.
It would be interesting if there was such a thing as a cornucopia.
But unfortunately not.
One morning.
Shen Fu was not in a good mood.
But an idea struck him and he rushed to the pond he had visited yesterday.
He wanted to find the cornucopia, but Shen Fu was obviously still unwilling to give up.
Who knows.
He actually discovered a pure silver clay basin under a big lotus.
Taking this earthen basin, Shen Fu hurried back home.
I want to try using this clay pot.
Money can make money!
But it's a pity.
This pure silver earthenware basin is really just a pure silver earthenware basin.
"Sure enough, how could a pie fall from the sky? A cornucopia? It doesn't exist at all!"
Shen Fu sighed.
And, he shook his head to get rid of those unrealistic thoughts.
He wants to continue to learn how to do business, and he wants to become a big businessman!
Since he didn't have a cornucopia, he created one himself!
He wants to do business for everyone in the world! (End of chapter)
