DongGuo Wolf was a businessman, and Tao Zhugong was also a businessman.
Tao Zhugong was a legendary merchant, it is said that his ancestor was Fan Li, who helped Gou Jian to restore the country, and after helping The Yue King Gou Jian defeat the State of Wu, Fan Li quietly lived in seclusion with Xi Shi, changed his name to Tao Zhu Gong, and became a businessman.
Tao Zhugong was as successful in business as he was in politics, and created a great family business in his life, so that future generations of descendants inherited the title of Tao Zhugong.
The generation of Tao Zhugong, who knew Dong Guo Wolf, was already the fifth generation or the sixth generation of Fan Li's descendants.
In this generation, Tao Zhugong was still a huge family with huge wealth and had wealth that rivaled the country.
Dongguo Wolf is also very business-minded, and at a very young age, he ran a rich family business.
Then he did several big businesses in a row, earning hundreds of pounds of gold at once, causing a huge sensation among merchants.
It's just that although Dongguo Wolf made money, he also offended the Tian clan, a powerful minister of the State of Qi.
The reason is that the Tian clan monopolized the sea salt business in the State of Qi, claiming that any merchant living in the State of Qi could not sell salt, and whoever dared to sell it was against the Tian clan.
Dongguo Wolf was selling sea salt from the Yue kingdom, and was sold to Zheng, Wei and other countries to obtain rich profits, and there was no conflict with the Tian clan.
But people with great power always say that everything is reasonable, and Tian Shi can ignore three seven twenty-one, as long as it infringes on my interests, I will take care of you.
Therefore, he publicly announced that he would kill the entire Dongguo clan for the great crime of "conspiracy to rebel", and sent people to monitor the Dongguo clan day and night to prevent the Dongguo clan from escaping.
At this critical moment, Tao Zhugong stepped forward to meet the Tian clan, and did not hesitate to bend his knees to ask the Tian clan to spare the Dongguo clan, and was willing to use his own life to vouch for the Dongguo wolf.
Tao Zhugong once took the initiative to sell many profitable businesses to the Tian family, which made the Tian clan already have a good feeling for Tao Zhugong, coupled with the fact that the Tao Zhugong family was extremely rich and powerful, and the Tian family did not dare to underestimate.
Therefore, at the request of Tao Zhugong, the Tian clan was merciful and spared the Dongguo clan.
However, in this kind of benevolence, there is also a condition attached, that is, dongguo clan compensation of a thousand catties of gold, Tao Zhugong agreed to it, and for Dong Guo's family to pay this thousand pounds of gold.
However, the Dongguo clan was completely in the dark, and did not know how the Tian clan suddenly became kind and let them go.
Until one day a few years later, Dongguo Wolf dodged on the avenue and almost crashed into Tian's high car, and Tian scolded him: "Do you still want to lose a thousand pounds of gold if you don't know if you are dead or alive?" Hmm, if you hit my car this time, even if Tao Zhugong intercedes and loses me a thousand pounds of gold, the old man will let you go. ”
Dong Guo Wolf listened to this and was like a wooden chicken, and it was just like the five thunderbolts, and only then did he understand that it was Tao Zhu Gongyi who had rescued the lives of the entire clan.
Dongguo Wolf immediately went to the door to thank Tao Zhugong and made a vow, from now on, even if he went to the tang for Tao Zhugong, he would not hesitate.

See the secret of Tao Zhugong's fortune?
History records that Fan Li scattered three times in his life, that is to say, Fan Li used money to help countless people in his life, but not only was he not poor, but he gave more and more.
His descendants have also inherited this advantage from him, always in the urgent need to help people and save people in danger.
Of course, some people will say, I have helped a lot of people! But many people are ungrateful, they don't know how to reciprocate at all, not only did they not get benefits, but they suffered a lot of hurt, so I don't want to help others anymore.
In this story, Tao Zhugong helps Dong Guo, does Dong Guo know?
If it wasn't for Tian Clan saying it by accident, DongGuo Wolf would probably never have known for the rest of his life that the life of the entire clan depended on The Great Grace of Tao Zhugong.
So does it mean that Tao Zhu's help to Dong Guo is only out of his own heart, and he has never thought of asking Dong Guo to reciprocate, otherwise he does not need others to say that he has already publicized this great good thing.
If a person has no hope for others, there is no disappointment.
Tao Zhugong really understood the essence of this, and only followed the heavenly principles in doing things, but left a good appearance for his children and grandchildren.
As for the future, others know or not, and the return is not returned, it is the problem of others, not in the scope of their own consideration.
Moreover, the purposeful renunciation and the desired gain are inherently a negative energy.
When this energy is emitted, how can there be a good response?
Of course, whether a person can get rich or not, there is actually a more critical point is whether there is a long-term vision and a far-reaching pattern.
This point needs to be supported by a wealth of knowledge and considerable life experience.
From this point, it can also be seen that although the successive Tao Zhu Gongs lived a very rich life, reading and being a person are compulsory lessons for their children and grandchildren, and there are no clumsy descendants who do not want to make progress because of wealth, which is also the reason why the wealth of the Tao Zhu family can not fade from generation to generation.
So the secret of wealth is actually two points, the first is that you have considerable talent, and the second point is to give up your talent without stinginess.
These two points can be summed up in one sentence: "But do good deeds, do not ask about the future." ”
Truths are often simple, not even any secrets!
But there are very few things that can be believed, and even fewer that can be done.
So there are always a very small number of accomplished people in this world, and ordinary people always make up the majority.
And this is exactly what everyone who wants to get rich has to reflect on.
