【104】To make money, make big money(2/2)

Fang Changan thought for a while and asked, "Have you heard of Zilu's story about saving people?"

Chen Chengyan blinked in confusion, and could see that he tried hard to use his brain to think, but unfortunately he didn't search for anything, so he nodded: "It seems that he has heard it, but I can't remember it."

Fang Chang'an did not expose it, explaining: "In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Lu, where Confucius was born, issued a decree saying that if the people of Lu met the people of Lu who suffered in other countries, such as becoming slaves, and spend money to redeem them, they could find the country to get compensation and rewards."

"Confucius's student Zizi reigned the people of Lu from other countries, but refused the compensation from the country. After Confucius heard about this, he told Zigong that you did something wrong and receiving compensation would not damage your morality. However, if you refuse compensation, you will kill countless compatriots in Lu, because if you refuse compensation, everyone praises you and will also scold those who receive compensation, so that no one is willing to help those suffering people in Lu again."

"The other student of Confucius, Zilu, saved a drowning man. The man thanked him and gave him a cow. Zilu accepted it. Confucius was very happy when he found out, saying that from then on, people from Lu must be very happy to help when they meet drowning man."

Chen Chengyan felt that this scene was a bit strange, as if both of them had their age and identity reversed. He was not Uncle Chen, but Fang Chang'an was Uncle Fang, and was teaching the children Chen Chengyan's life principles.

However, he didn't value these identities at all, and he also thought that what Fang Chang'an said made sense - mainly because this was what Confucius said, who dares to say that it is unreasonable?

Fang Chang'an looked at Chen Chengyan and said sincerely: "Uncle Chen, I initially reselled buns to eat enough. You are willing to do this business because you want to compete with the canteen. It forces the canteen not to be a lowly student at will, but to help countless students like me."

"But to be fair, no matter how hard you work and money you have, how many students can you do your business?"

"How many such school cafeterias are there in China, and how many suffering students are there?"

"Our strength alone is not enough, so you need to make money, and it is best to make a lot of money, so big that newspapers and TVs report you, so that people from other places will find this business opportunity when they see this news, and they will also do such a business."

"We don't ask them to do the same level as us. As long as they can break the monopoly and compete with the school cafeteria, it will be beneficial to the students!"
