Chapter 16 Flexible thinking makes efforts more effective

Once upon a time, there were two young men named Xiaoshan and Xiaoshui. They lived in the same village and were best friends.Since it was not easy to make a living living in a remote village, they agreed to go to other places to do business, so they sold their land at the same time and went to a distant place with all their property and donkeys. They first arrived at a place rich in linen. Xiaoshui said to Xiaoshan: In our hometown, linen is very valuable. If we exchange all the money for linen, it will definitely be profitable to bring it back to our hometown.Xiao Shan agreed, and the two bought linen and carefully tied it on the donkey's back.

Then, they went to a place rich in furs, where there was also a shortage of linen. Xiao Shui said to Xiao Shan: "Furs are more valuable in our hometown. We sold the linen and exchanged them for furs. In this way, not only our capital was recovered." , There is still a high profit after returning home! Xiao Shan said: No, my linen is already tied on the donkey's back very securely, how troublesome it is to move it up and down! Xiao Shui replaced all the linen with fur, and got a sum of money.The hill still has only a donkey's back of sackcloth. They moved on to a place where medicinal materials were produced, where the weather was bitterly cold and there was a shortage of furs and linen. Xiaoshui said to Xiaoshan: medicinal materials are more valuable things in our hometown. You sold the linen, and I sold the furs. Bringing medicinal materials back to their hometown will definitely make a lot of money.

Xiao Shan patted the linen on the donkey's back and said: "No, my linen is already on the donkey's back very securely, not to mention that I have traveled such a long distance, it is too troublesome to load and unload it!"Xiao Shui changed all the furs into medicinal materials and made another sum of money.The hill still has only a donkey's back of sackcloth. Later, they came to a small town rich in gold. It was a barren land, lacking medicinal materials and of course linen. Xiaoshui said to Xiaoshan: The price of medicinal materials and linen is very high here, and gold is very cheap, but the gold in our hometown is very expensive. We exchange medicinal materials and linen for gold, and we will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives.

Xiao Shan refused again: No!No!My sackcloth is very stable on the donkey's back, and I don't want to change it around.Xiaoshui sold the medicinal materials and exchanged them for gold, while Xiaoshan still guarded a donkey's back of sackcloth. In the end, they returned to their hometown, and Xiaoshan sold the linen. Although he also gained a certain amount of profit, it was out of proportion to his hard journey.And Xiaoshui not only brought back a large amount of wealth, but also became the biggest rich man in the area after selling the gold. ★Life is delicious★ The spirit of persistence is certainly valuable, but being too persistent is pedantic and numb, because nothing is static. If there are changes on the way forward, we should learn to consider problems from multiple perspectives and make appropriate changes. Make yourself invincible.
