Chapter 630: Bells and drums play, the world is settled
When I reached the annex building, I stopped.
At this point, I have to take control. Mr. Wang, you understand business, and I, Wan, understand feng shui. Now, this is Mr. Wang's territory, and it's also my home turf.
I stopped, and they both stopped too.
I looked and saw that the annex building was only four stories high and there was another building next to it.
I asked, "What unit is this building next to it?"
"The town government, because this shopping mall only has seven floors, and the town government also has seven floors, so that's why I chose this place."
On the left is a supermarket, on the right is a high-rise building, and in the middle is a wing, forming the shape of the English letter "H".
Only after seeing it clearly did I move.
The office was basically finished. We looked from the first floor to the fourth floor. After the tour, Wang Luqing led us to a conference room on the second floor to rest.
The staff brought fruit and tea.
Wang Luqing handed me a cigarette, I took it, lit it, and just smoked without saying a word.
The necessary sense of mystery must be there, otherwise what you say is just nonsense.
Wang Luqing asked, "Teacher Wan, what do you think? Just tell me what you want to say. I have a strong psychological endurance."
From what he said, I could tell he was under psychological pressure because a worker had died earlier. If I were to continue to complain about something not being right,
It would be troublesome for him to change it. If he didn't change it, he would regret having hired the wrong Feng Shui master.
I said, "It's next to the town government, so I feel relieved."
"Why?"
"Your layout, with the mall on the left, the government on the right, and the office building in the middle, looks like a carrying pole with two ends.
The town government is a national public asset and carries a lot of weight. If it carries weight, your supermarket also needs weight to maintain balance.
A supermarket needs to be substantial, with lots of goods and people, to have weight. Therefore, your supermarket will thrive in the future."
Wang Luqing let out a long sigh and said, "A master is a master. He not only gave me confidence, but also gave me the reasons."
Mr. Deng said, "Shanhong is a man who loves to delve into his profession. He's not just an ordinary fortune teller or feng shui expert. He has many business ideas. Daughter Island was completely planned by him."
Wang Luqing said: "It's fate. A person's life is all about making the right friends. I know very well that you become the kind of person you hang out with.
Since you are here, please take a look inside the Master Mall."
He led the way, and Mr. Deng and I followed behind. We passed through a security door and took a shortcut to the second floor of the mall.
This is a circular shopping mall with shops on all four sides of each floor and a large atrium in the middle. There are several elevators to go up and down the floors.
It is under renovation from top to bottom.
I didn't offer any advice and said, "Let's go outside the mall and take a look."
The three of them walked outside and saw a large flat area.
I asked, “What are you doing here?”
Wang Luqing smiled and said, "It's nothing special, just a piece of land. Anyway, there is a dedicated parking lot and the land price is cheap, so I will leave it a little wider."
I said, "Become a shouting fountain. The louder the sound, the higher the water column rises. We must have what others don't have, and we must be able to transform what others have.
Other shopping malls have fountains, so you can make yours a Shouting Fountain. Even some city kids are pestering their parents to play with your Shouting Fountain."
Wang Luqing said, "The kids are always yelling here. What should we do if we don't go into the mall?"
"Children are the most easily bored with the old and love the new, so you don't have to worry about that. When children are happy, parents are happy too.
Of course, we also need to find something for parents to do. We will name this fountain "National Music Fountain" and set up some Chinese musical instrument molds around it.
Then put up a sign to introduce these instruments as Chinese instruments. This is a way to spread knowledge.”
Wang Luqing said: "I understand what the master meant, which is to make some molds for suona, erhu, pipa, guzheng and the like."
I shook my head. "If we're going to do it, we should make it a truly authentic Chinese culture. For example, there's a debate about whether the suona is actually a Chinese instrument. Some say it came from ancient Persia."
President Deng and Wang Luqing looked at me and asked:
"Then which instruments do you think are authentic Chinese?"
I said, "My personal understanding is that all musical instruments originating from China basically have only one character. For example, the sheng, guan, flute, xiao, and zheng all have a bamboo head and are made of bamboo.
The zither, se, and drum are made of wood.
A clock made of iron.
Chime, made of stone.
A jar is made of fired clay.
We used some of these instruments and made models. However, the bells and drums had to be real, able to be struck. Shout, bang, and pound. The water column rose, and it looked beautiful.
There is a line in ancient poetry that goes, "When bells and drums sound, heaven and earth are settled." This means that every time people ring the bells, your business will grow by a bit, which is called "heaven and earth are settled."
Qian is Heaven, Kun is Earth. Your business, Wang Luqing, is blessed by the help of Heaven and Earth. Qian and Kun are stable, and you are guaranteed to make a profit without any loss.
Wang Luqing clasped his fists and said, "Master, when I first heard you, I thought you wanted me to build a fountain, but it turns out you have a deeper meaning. You want to teach me about Feng Shui. Bless me with prosperity. You are a master, a master. I regret that we met too late."
Mr. Deng looked pleased and said, "The one I'm introducing to you is definitely not the Feng Shui master you usually meet."
At this time, Wang Luqing was so impressed by me that he said:
"Let's go to a farmhouse here. The food is quite good."
We drove to the foot of a hill.
This farmhouse is uniquely built. Several independent restaurants are built, arranged in varying heights, following the terrain. Wang Luqing must have called ahead. The farmhouse, already bustling with people, even reserved a table for us.
This is a tall wooden pavilion, open on all sides. The three of them sat down, drinking tea and chatting.
The restaurant was very busy and couldn't serve the dishes for a while. They only served tea.
I went to Mr. Deng and whispered a few words to him. Mr. Deng nodded and said:
"Okay, just bring it up with him."
I picked up my teacup and said, "Boss Wang, I have a request for you. I've been working at Xuri for almost five years and have made a little money. I want to start my own studio."
I've looked at many places and I think renting a floor in your Huaxi Building would be a good option."
He said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's my honor that the master likes my place, but this needs to be coordinated and I need to take back other people's rooms. This is a process."
Mr. Deng smiled and said, "I have a few vacant offices there. He can move in first. Next year, I will move to the hospital to work. Those rooms can be rented to the master."
Wang Luqing said, "If that's the case, then it's not good. It doesn't matter whether you rent it or not. You just use it."
I shook my head and said, "I'll pay whatever Mr. Deng's price is."
Wang Luqing said, "You can't compare yourself to Mr. Deng. Opening a studio is exploiting yourself, while he exploits others. You make money by yourself, while he has hundreds of people helping him make money."
I laughed out loud: "I'm planning to invite a few people too."
Wang Luqing said, "I absolutely won't take your money. I just want you to help me with some company matters. And I won't ask you about everything. I'll only ask you when I'm undecided. Okay?"
Mr. Deng said, "Shanhong, Mr. Wang is so kind-hearted that he doesn't care about your small amount of money. It's better to obey than to be respectful."
Mr. Wang seemed to be afraid that I would disagree and said:
"You can ask around. I donated one million last year to build a school in Liuye Town. Master, I went to university and studied abroad, so I'm considered an intellectual, to some extent.
I think I have a bit of an intellectual sentiment. Money is important, but life isn't about money. I'm so lucky to have a friend like you.
If you insist on counting money, I won’t rent it to you.”
I was so lost for words that I picked up my cup and said, "Okay, I'll be your advisor and try to take better care of you."
The three of them clinked their glasses.
