During the Tang Dynasty, there was a merchant named Ye Qianshi in Hangzhou, who had a family fortune of 10,000 yuan, wore silk silk, ate mountain treasures and seafood, and the family called slaves to call for wives, and lived a very luxurious life. Everyone says that Ye Qianshi is a business wizard who made his fortune in only half a year, but few people know that the reason why Ye Qianshi can get rich is actually related to his encounter.
Half a year ago, Ye Qianshi's family was still very poor, he made a living selling vegetables and fruits, how much money he made every day, and the family of three lived in a dilapidated thatched hut by the river, and could only make ends meet.
One night, suddenly the wind and rain were fierce, the heavens and the earth were dark, and the lightning and thunder outside were so loud that people could not sleep peacefully. Ye Qianshi was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep over and over, and he couldn't wait until midnight, the wind and rain had stopped, and When Ye Qianshi was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard someone outside calling his name.
It's so late, who the hell is calling him? Ye Qianshi frowned and got up, and when he went outside the house to look, he found a man on the other side of the river holding a lantern and calling his name. The man kept shouting Ye Qianshi's name, and Ye Qianshi thought that he knew someone, so he loudly agreed, and then hurriedly rowed to the other side of the river, ready to help the man cross the river.
It was late at night, the residents of the river had already gone to bed to rest, and Ye Qianshi went to the other side alone with a boat, but when he arrived on the other side, he found that the person who called his name was not known at all. The man, who claimed to be surnamed Jin and was a merchant from out of town, politely asked Ye Qianshi to take him across the river and smiled and handed him a piece of gold.
Ye Qianshi saw that the man was richly dressed and polite, and although he did not know how he knew his name, he did not say much, he did not ask for the man's gold, but carefully helped the man to the boat and took the man to the river.
The boat reached the shore, the man thanked Ye Qianshi, then walked up to the shore, did not expect to slip in the dark, he slipped under his feet and fell to the ground, Ye Qianshi hurriedly walked over to check, found that after the man fell to the ground, he became a small golden man more than four feet tall.
Ye Qianshi was shocked to see this scene, he held up the lantern to observe for half a day, found that the little golden man was not unusual, he carefully picked up the little golden man and wiped it clean, he did not expect that the little golden man actually opened his mouth, he said to Ye Qianshi: "Ye Qianshi, you help me cross the river, I will also help you!" ”
It turned out that the little gold man was a gold elf, and he had a business book in his head, as long as it was the person he chose, under his guidance, he would definitely be rich and noble, and become the rich man of the rich side.
Ye Qianshi was very puzzled why Xiao Jinren chose himself, Xiao Jinren seemed to see through Ye Qianshi's thoughts, he smiled and said to Ye Qianshi: "Before you, I have successively called out the names of seven or eight people, but they heard my voice but did not hear it, and some people were unwilling to help me cross the river, in fact, it was not I who chose you, it was you who chose me." ”
Ye Qianshi helped xiaojinren with his own good deeds, which was only helped by xiaojinren, and in only half a year, he got rid of poverty and became a rich man with a million family wealth. Later, Ye Qianshi's business became bigger and bigger, and he made more and more money, and the Ye family became the richest man of that generation.
After Ye Qianshi became a famous rich man, he remembered the reminder of the little golden man, paved the way for the township to build a bridge, gave charity to the poor, and benefited the people.
Ye Qianshi became a well-known great benevolent person, living until he was more than eighty years old, and after his death, the little golden man disappeared with him.
Editor's note: The little golden man actually represents the good thoughts in Ye Qianshi's heart, he is kind in heart and willing to help others, his business is getting bigger and bigger, and the money he earns will be more and more. After Ye Qianshi became rich, he did not forget his father and fellow countrymen, and it was precisely because of his good deeds that he gradually became the richest man. It can be seen from this that no matter at any time, a person's good thoughts are very important, and only by doing more good deeds can we bear good results, be kind to others, and let ourselves go further.
