The Merchant Sage of a Great Nation: Fan Li

It can be said that Fan Li rose from a simple commoner to a general of the Yue Kingdom; his legendary experience coupled with his keen insight into business in an era of chaotic wars among various countries, it can be said that he lived up to his reputation; this book focuses on the pen and ink description. This is the story of Fan Li's second half of his life; it witnesses his calmness in his travels among various countries; after reading this book, I finally understand why he is said to be the only one in the ages to have such a business acumen in that era. And for the rest of his life, he was involved in both politics and business, which added even more brilliance to this unparalleled genius.

The story is strong. To understand ancient people using some of the thinking of modern people, you need to listen carefully before making comments.

Fan Li is really capable of advancing and retreating, understands human nature, is a business wizard, is resourceful, and can bend and stretch. What I particularly admire is every plan he made when he was a slave. First, he induced Wu to raise mules and give up raising horses, and then he planned to convert his country's land into fields. Every step of the way. It was a careful plan and traps were designed at every turn. The King of Wu made every mistake step by step. He did not listen to Wu Zixu's advice, but instead listened to the tricks of his enemy Fan Li. He thought he could really conquer everyone. It is a pity that Wen Zhong died. How many people can achieve the success of Fan Li and retire. Wen Zhong must have been unable to do so and would not be willing to do so, and he would eventually be shattered to pieces. The author wrote very wonderfully.

2024.12.27.10.00 Everyone in the world is interested in profit, relying on personal strategic vision and control of the current situation. He led the Yue King Gou Jian to annex the Wu Kingdom step by step. After helping him succeed, he immediately retreated, knowing that some people can only share the same adversity. In fact, it can be seen in the small things. From Gou Jian's ability to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, to his accumulated experience after returning to China, he worked hard and endured hardships. It can be seen that he is actually very cautious. Although it can be attributed to hatred, the essence is that he is not broad-minded. It is precisely because of this that revenge can be successful, and it is precisely because of this that we cannot share wealth and honor. In this process of revenge, he led Gou Jian to develop step by step, from taking down the supervisors, to taking down the local people, local officials and forces, and finally annexing the state of Wu. In fact, it can essentially be understood as taking advantage of human greed and curiosity. The short-sightedness of government officials and the checks and balances of official power. Although he was seen through by the famous ministers of Wu State, the top leader was incompetent and arrogant. So it is also one of the factors of success. The opponent's underestimation, incompetence, and corruption. You can go from big disadvantages to disadvantages to small advantages to completely defeating your opponents. They are all done step by step. There is no so-called golden finger. They all have a long-term strategic goal. Based on this goal and combined with the current situation, we develop a better way to deal with the current situation and gradually win back the victory. Finally, he lived happily with Xi Shi. Summary: It is worth watching. Whether it is his cheerfulness in adversity, his acting towards his enemies, his support for his own leaders, his concessions after his leaders take office, or his control and play with human original sin, he is a first-rate master.

This book is rich in content. The author described Fan Li's life in detail, which gave me a more comprehensive understanding of him. Moreover, the author's writing style is very vivid and the writing style is also good, especially the description of the characters is very good, as if I saw the scene with my own eyes. I think this book is worth reading and recommend it to you!

No wonder he is Shang Sage, he is decisive in killing and retreating bravely from the rapids, just right It's a pity that Wen Zhong, a counselor, saw through the world, but failed to see through King Goujian of Yue, and ended up miserable.

The smart and free-spirited Fan Li, the unrequited Wen Zhong, the kind and generous Ya Yu, and the humiliating and ruthless Gou Jian seemed to be right in front of them...

It is very well written and very graphic. Reading the text is like watching a movie, with scenes passing through my mind. It's just that as a novel, there should be some fiction, and it is not completely consistent with history. But I think there should be no problem in the general direction.

Now I finally know that the bold statement of King Goujian of Yue that three thousand Yuejia can devour Wu came from Fan Li. He endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden by lying down and endured humiliation. Xishi's self-sacrifice and the outstanding talent of the literary genre were actually the strongest assists. Retreating bravely in the rapids and retreating to the highest place was actually wisdom. He was smart and misjudged one person, King Goujian of Yue.
