Chapter 302: Pointing out investment direction for Murong Feng
After returning to the hotel, everyone went back to their rooms first. At eight o'clock in the evening, the two came to my room to chat again.
Murong Feng said, "That year, you told me my fortune and gave me only a few rough suggestions. To be honest, those few words gave me great encouragement. That's why I decided to risk my life in the stock market.
This time, I want you to seriously calculate what will happen in the future. Don't worry, I have a strong psychological endurance. Even if I have to sweep the streets in the future, I can face it calmly.
I laughed and said, "Don't worry about fate. After all these years, I still remember your birth date and time clearly. You have a good life."
He did not want to force it, so he said: "Then let me tell you a fortune. I want to invest in the jade industry. I didn't know Brother Shao before. I met him by chance when I went to Myanmar to investigate the jade industry. After chatting, I learned that he was from Wuxiang. I asked if he knew you.
He said we were incredibly close. "Because we both had a mutual admiration for each other, we hit it off and became good friends."
I nodded: "As for a specific test, I'll tell you what I think. Just write a word." I pushed the paper and pen towards him.
He wrote one word: Try.
I glanced at it and said, "You've already tried it once."
They both stared at me.
I pointed out the character he had written and analyzed it: "This character is composed of two parts: 言旁 + 式. The left part "言旁" is written in large letters, while the right part "式" is written in small letters."
This means that you tried it once, but there was no return, and you just threw a lot of money into the water.
They looked at each other, and Murong Feng said, "Master is still Master."
I continued, "Divining a character is about finding its original meaning, not its current meaning. So, what was the original meaning of trying a character?"
It means "to use." Do you gamble on jade or sell jade for your own use? You can afford to wear it all over your body.
You don't use it yourself, but sell it to others. This contradicts the original meaning of the word 'try'. Therefore, you should not gamble on stones or work in the jade trade.
"Oh—I see."
I took a sip of tea and then advised, "Your name is Feng. Feng belongs to water, and Yu belongs to earth. If you combine your name with jade, what does water and earth mean?"
Murong Feng didn't react for a long time.
Shao Youxiang asked cautiously, "Are you not used to the local climate?"
"That's right. Not only can you not do the jade business, but you also need to take off the jade on your neck. You should wear gold jewelry. The Chinese character for gold belongs to metal, and metal produces water, which is beneficial to you."
After hearing this, Murong Feng quickly took off the jade pendant, as if he was afraid that something might happen if he kept it on for even a second longer. Then he asked, "What should I do?"
"What you use every day, others also use. It's very broad. If you make sanitary ware, you wash your face every day; if you make food, you eat every day; if you make cars, you basically use cars for transportation.
In short, don't invest in luxury goods. Focus on basic necessities. For this, you should carefully look for investment opportunities. If you don't find a good project, putting it in the bank and using it slowly is also a good option."
He smiled awkwardly: "It's mainly because I'm too young. I don't want to be a retired official."
I smiled and said nothing.
Murong Feng asked, "Then why can Brother Shao gamble on stones?"
This question piqued Shao Youxiang's interest. He probably hadn't thought about this question before. He also asked, "Yes, this is...?"
I said, "Brother Shao's name is mainly well chosen. Friend, which belongs to the earth, and Auspicious, which belongs to the metal. The order of these two names conforms to the principle of 'earth produces metal'."
Shao Youxiang slapped his thigh and said, "I hit the jackpot by accident. I never thought about this when I started this business. I never asked anyone to calculate it."
Murong Feng said, "Then I'll follow your advice. I'll slowly investigate the project and then ask for your advice. I also have another reason for coming this time. I just want to thank you."
"Well, I'm very happy to see you."
"That's not what I meant. I want the master to give me an account."
"That's unnecessary. If I were down and out, homeless, and struggling, honestly, I would accept your assistance. But now, I earn 1.8 million a year, and I have some other income.
Besides, if you work in my field, you can be sure that you will never be unemployed. You will have no problem making a living."
Murong Feng said, "I won't call you Master anymore. The more I call you that, the more distant I feel. It's not as intimate as it was back then. I'll call you Teacher Wan.
Teacher Wan, I will always believe that you will never be unemployed. But think about me. If I make a mistake in an investment or go to the casino and end up living on the streets, I can't guarantee that I will be able to survive in that situation because I don't have your strong determination.
So, let me deposit two million with you. If I fail, I can ask you for it back, okay?"
Shao Youxiang and I burst into laughter.
I shook my head: "Accepting yours means I admit that you will fail in the future."
"I was originally a pauper, and when you predicted that I would turn my life around by the age of 35, I decided to give it my all. Is this money mine? It's yours. If you hadn't told me, how could I have such courage?"
I remained silent. It seemed that he was not being polite. If he was polite, he would not have said that in front of a third party.
Besides, two million is nothing to him. I thought about it and came up with an idea:
"How about this? We at Xuri have a purified water plant. I'll put these two million dollars into the plant. If it loses money, you don't ask me for it. If it makes money, you can share the profits as dividends."
He said, "Okay, whether there are dividends or not, I don't care."
"You have to collect the dividends. Since you're testing the word 'test', I think it's safer to invest in a water plant, as you'll drink it every day."
Murong Feng said: "Okay. Give me your account number now."
"No rush. I'll contact you after I report to Mr. Chen."
The matter came to an end and we didn't continue discussing this topic.
Then I introduced the itinerary for tomorrow, taking them to Taiyi Mountain for a look, and then to Sunrise Villa for lunch. There was a good friend of mine there, Lao Xiao, who was in charge of that area.
If you don't mind, I would like to introduce you two to Lao Xiao.
Murong Feng said, "Teacher Wan, we are confident in the person you are willing to introduce."
I said, "Lao Xiao is also from Wuxiang."
A hint of surprise flashed across Shao Youxiang's face, but it only lasted for a moment before he regained his composure.
Murong Feng said, "It's so late, you should go home too. You've been with us all day, so take a rest first."
The two said goodbye.
I didn't want to go home, so I decided to prepare a lesson on micro-expressions and teach it to Shiyu later.
I took a shower and put on my robe. I remembered I could take my time writing the article, so I had to call Shao Youxiang first.
"Would it be convenient for you to come down?"
"I've been waiting for your call."
