There are three people who sell combs, all of whom sell combs to monks. As a result, opinions vary and the number of combs sold is different.
The first seller of combs found the monk and said, "Master, buy a comb!" " Hearing this, the monk said, "What do I need a comb for without hair?" "He said," Although you don't have hair, you can use it to shave your scalp and tickle. Comfortable and dredge meridians. Regular grooming is also an exercise. You have a clear mind and a good memory. Hearing this, the monk thought that buying a comb has so many benefits. It's not expensive anyway, so buy one.
The second comb seller found the monk and said, "Master, buy a comb!" " "The monk said," I have no hair. What do I need a comb for? "He said:" Combs can not only exercise and clear your head, but also comb your hair when you worship Buddha to show your respect for Buddha. If your disciples shave their scalps every day when they worship Buddha, it shows their devotion to Buddha and your master's deep affection for Buddha. " The monk thought, yes! So he bought one for his 10 disciples.
The third seller of combs found the monk and said, "Master, buy a comb!" " "The monk said," I have no hair. What do I need a comb for? "He said," Although you have no hair, many believers burn incense and worship Buddha in your temple. If you buy them a comb, they will be clear-headed, see through all the gains and losses in the world, show gratitude and resentment, and move closer to the realm of Buddha. This shows the Buddha's compassionate heart and desire to help all sentient beings. This is really a great achievement! In this way, the incense in your temple will be more and more prosperous. "Hearing this, the monk makes sense! Immediately said, "I'll buy 1000. "

As the saying goes, it is easy to use strength. People who know how to make full use of their own strength can be small and wide, weak and strong, soft and hard, and can exert four or two forces.
During the Three Kingdoms period, one day, Zhou Yu said to Zhuge Liang: You will build me 654.38 million arrows in three days. Zhuge Liang readily promised. It is impossible to make 65438+ ten thousand arrows in three days. But why did Zhuge Liang agree again? Zhuge Liang has his own way. At that time, it was necessary to build 6.5438 million arrows, that is, there was money and materials, and time was too late. What are we going to do? We can borrow it if we can't build it! Borrow it from who? Of course, only Cao Cao. Will Cao Cao borrow it? Will he lend you an arrow to shoot him? There are always more ways than difficulties. Nothing is impossible, only unexpected. Zhuge Liang thought of it. How did he borrow it from Cao Cao?
On a foggy morning, Zhuge Liang sent thousands of wooden boats, and so did Qian Fan. These boats are full of straw. When the ship sailed to the middle of the river, they beat gongs and drums, set off firecrackers, screamed loudly and pretended to attack Cao Cao. When Cao Cao stood on the wall, he saw many ships coming towards him vaguely on the river. Cao Cao thought that Zhou Yu really wanted to attack the city, so he ordered all archers to shoot arrows at once, and the arrows hit the straw of the ship one by one. In less than an hour, Zhuge Liang returned home with a full load and received 65,438+10,000 arrows from Cao Cao. This is the famous story of "the grass boat borrows an arrow" in history.

Article 4
In the shipping history of China, two "ship kings" made their fortunes by "borrowing money to buy ships". One is Bao Yugang, the king of harbor ships. When he started his business, he borrowed money from his friends. He borrowed money to buy a broken boat, then used it to mortgage in the bank and borrowed money to buy a second boat. Then, use the second boat as collateral to buy a third boat. It was on this "mortgage loan" that he developed in a rolling way.
Once, he was empty-handed and asked the famous HSBC to buy him a brand-new boat. How did he operate it? Let's listen to his opinion. He ran to the bank, found the director of the credit department and said, "Director, I ordered a new ship in Japan, and the price was 654.38+00,000. At the same time, it signed a charter agreement with a Japanese freight company, with an annual rent of 750 thousand. I want to ask for the support of your bank. Can you give me a loan? "
The director of the credit department said, "Your idea is very good, but you have to have a guarantee." He said, "Yes, I'll guarantee it by letter of credit." What is a letter of credit? It is a credit certificate issued by the "freight company" from his bank. Soon, Bao Yugang went to Japan to apply for a letter of credit, and the bank agreed to give him a loan. You see, the money was given to him before the boat was built. You will ask: Why did the bank give him a loan? Let's analyze:
If the bank gives him 6.5438+0 million yuan to build this ship, there will be 750,000 yuan in rent every year, and the loan of 6.5438+0 million yuan can be paid off in less than two years;
The bank must be worried that he won't pay back the money, or he can't afford it if something goes wrong. It doesn't matter, because the bank has the "letter of credit" guarantee of the freight company here. This company is very trustworthy. If he doesn't give money, the bank can find this freight company, and safety is not a problem. That's why the bank dared to lend it to him. This is what he said, and his credit is here. If you borrow and pay back, others will dare to deal with you in the future.
Also, Bao Yugang made a sum of money, instead of saving it like some small rich people who developed too slowly, he continued to expand with him. Only when there is scale can there be benefits, so that it can be bigger and stronger. It is with this "rolling" management method of "mortgage loan" that he has grown bigger and bigger in the ocean and become the world's first shipping.
