A story about honesty

(1) In ancient times, there was a young man named Zhao Er who worked as a coolie in the rich man's house for several years, saved some money, and opened a pub in the market, named it "Affordable Hotel".

At the beginning, the things in the tavern were really affordable, with big bowls and mellow rice wine, and the price was very cheap. Both businessmen passing by and ordinary people who come to the fair are willing to sit in a pub and drink a bowl of rice wine to quench their thirst. Every day from opening in the morning to closing at night, the guests are always full, and the guys are very busy. Sometimes the wine is sold out before dark.

Zhao er sees it in his eyes and enjoys it in his heart. But manual workshops can only brew so much wine every day, and there is no way to expand the scale. So he moved his mind.

The next day, the big bowl became a small bowl, and the price was still the price of the big bowl.

Zhao Er said, "My guest, this is a new recipe. Wine contains precious Chinese herbal medicines, which can cure diseases. "

Guests are regular customers. They not only believed what Zhao Er said, but also publicized it. There are not only fewer guests, but more than before. There was not enough wine to sell for several days, and Zhao Er made a lot of money.

Zhao Er tasted the sweetness and came up with an idea to add water to the wine. At first, it was so small that the guests didn't notice it. So Zhao Er became bolder and bolder, and there was more and more water.

After a few days, there were fewer and fewer guests. Later, the boys simply had nothing to do.

One day, Zhao Er sat in an empty craftsman's pub in a daze. Just then, an old man with a white beard came in, and Zhao Er quickly greeted the guests. While drinking, the old man asked, "Young man, why is this shop so deserted?"

Zhao Er reluctantly shook his head.

The old man went on to say, "In fact, there is a secret recipe for opening a shop."

Zhao Er quickly leaned his head over and asked, "What secret recipe? Please tell me how much it costs. "

The old man still said unhurriedly, "There was an honest man who was originally poor. With the help of others, he opened a small restaurant and soon became rich. Has anyone asked him what his secret recipe is? He said,' Yes, it is to earn a penny from a dish.' "

Zhao Er bowed his head in shame.

The old man added, "Bring a pen and paper, and I'll give you a prescription for' pub cold'."

Zhao Ershun picked up a pen and paper from the ground, and the old man picked up a pen and wrote two words, then left. Zhao Er picked it up and saw the word "sincerity".

Zhao Er suddenly realized that he changed the name of the pub to "only earn a penny". From then on, he managed honestly, insisting that a bowl of wine only earned a penny.

Soon, his business flourished again.

(2) Guo Moruo was very filial when he was a child. Once, my mother got carsick. Guo Moruo didn't know where he heard that plantain flower could cure this disease, so he wanted to get one. But this kind of flower is very expensive and rare in the market, so he and his brother ran to a garden to look for it. It happened that the plantain in the garden had just opened a big yellow flower, and Guo Moruo and his brother secretly picked it and gave it to their mother. Although my mother knew that Guo Moruo was very filial to her afterwards, her son's behavior made her very sad, so she educated him and told him to be honest in the future. Guo Moruo kept this story in his heart until he became a great scholar in China.

In the riverside park in new york, there stands a monument to the soldiers killed in the Civil War. Many tourists come to the monument to pay homage to the dead every year. The tomb of General Grant, the18th president of the United States and commander-in-chief of the Union Army during the Civil War, is located in the north of the park. The mausoleum is tall, majestic, solemn and simple. There is a large green lawn behind the mausoleum, which extends to the boundary of the park and the edge of the steep cliff.

Behind General Grant's mausoleum, closer to the cliff, there is also a children's mausoleum. This is a tiny ordinary grave, and in any other place, you may ignore its existence. Like most American graves, it has only a small tombstone. On the tombstone and beside it, there is a touching story about honesty:

The story happened on 1797 more than 200 years ago. This year, when the little owner of this land was five years old, he accidentally fell off the cliff here and died. His father was heartbroken and buried him here and built such a small mausoleum as a souvenir. A few years later, family fortune fell and the old owner had to transfer the land. Out of love for his son, he made a strange request to the future landowner. He asked the new owner to take the child's mausoleum as a part of the land and never destroy it. The new owner agreed and wrote this condition into the contract. In this way, the child's mausoleum was preserved.

Times have changed, and a hundred years have passed. I don't know how many times this land has been sold or how many owners have changed. The child's name has long been forgotten by the world, but the child's grave is still there. According to one sales contract after another, it was completely preserved. 1897, this land of feng shui was chosen as the cemetery of Grant's semi-army. The government became the owner of this land. The Tomb of the Unknown Child, which is still in the hands of the government, has become a neighbor of Grant General Cemetery. The grave of a great historical creator lives next to the grave of an unknown child, which may be a unique wonder in the world.

One hundred years later, 1997, in memory of General Grant, Giuliani, then mayor of new york, came here. It happened to be the centenary of the establishment of General Grant's mausoleum and the bicentennial of the child's death. Mayor Giuliani personally wrote this touching story and carved it on the wooden sign, standing next to the tomb of nobody, so that this honest story can be passed down from generation to generation. ...

(4) 10 years ago, Wang Shuanhong was a young teacher at Henan University of Finance and Economics. 10 years later, Wang Shuanhong is the president of Green Group with finance as the core, real estate as the foundation and media as the link. 10 years of wind and rain, 10 years of cultivation. Wang Shuanhong, based on faith, turned the tide and made another wonderful life in 10.

After graduating from the Economics Department of East China Normal University, Wang Shuanhong 1986 came to Henan University of Finance and Economics to teach international finance and published three academic works. Five years later, he became the youngest deputy director of the International Trade Teaching and Research Section. 1992 is a year of surging tide of reform and opening up in China. Wang Shuanhong, who studied economics, resolutely resigned and moved to Hainan as the executive vice president of a company, dealing in foreign exchange futures. In those days, he quietly studied the operation modes of other companies during the break, and desperately studied the practical experience that he had never been exposed to before. 1In February, 993, Wang Shuanhong returned to Zhengzhou, borrowed money to register the first futures economic company in Henan Province, Green Business Consulting Company, and started his entrepreneurial road.

People familiar with Wang Shuanhong say that Wang Shuanhong's success is natural. 10 over the years, he has won a large number of customers and friends by credit, and his road is getting wider and wider. In those years when futures were hot, many futures companies in Henan illegally raised funds and used the money they received to speculate in futures. However, Wang Shuanhong didn't join in the fun, not because he didn't need money, but because he thought fund-raising was allowed and the state didn't expressly stipulate it. Later, when many futures companies involved in illegal fund-raising closed down in the Asian economic crisis, green futures stood out in the 1998 Zhengzhou illegal fund-raising storm, and customers could withdraw money at any time, attracting a large number of futures customers to turn green. Since then, green futures have been popular all the way, and the annual transaction volume is the third in the country and the first in the province.

It is the storm of 1998 that makes the keen Wang Shuanhong discover new business opportunities. He found that after the Asian financial turmoil, both house prices and land prices fell to a low point. Realizing that this is the best time to enter the real estate industry, he resolutely registered Henan Rongan Real Estate Development Company to develop more than 300 mu of land in the newly established Zhengzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. Now it seems that Wang Shuanhong is indeed far-sighted. Now Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone has become the hinterland of Zhengdong New District. The 300 mu of land originally considered as wasteland by others will probably be worth an inch of land.

Futures made Wang Shuanhong understand the importance of credit in his career. Entering the real estate market, Wang Shuanhong, as a layman, once again raised the banner of credit. When developing the green holiday villa project, he opposed the traditional real estate development model and introduced the concept of credit, that is, the company obtained the permission of land installment payment from the development zone management Committee, and allowed customers to pay by installment. The "green holiday villa" community mainly promotes the concept of green environmental protection, mainly villas and high-end apartments. At present, the property management of this project has obtained ISO900 1 and ISO 14000 green concept certification, which is the first time in the central and western regions.

"Green Holiday Villa" is the first project that Green Group set foot in the real estate industry. The first and second phases of the project have all been sold out, and the third phase has also started. The planned construction area is 240,000 square meters, which will be completed within next year. Speaking of the future, Wang Shuanhong said that as early as the beginning of this year, the registered capital of Henan Rongan Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. has increased to 654.38+0.5 billion yuan, and has reserved real estate talents. The current land reserve has been extensively investigated, carefully planned and designed, and new development projects have been sought to invest in large-scale market development, including participating in land bidding in Zhengdong New District.

Credit is Wang Shuanhong's practice philosophy. Adhering to the credit, he also gathered a group of like-minded business partners, who formed the management team of Green Group. Today, Green Group under the banner of Wang Shuan has many branches in the fields of investment consulting, investment management, real estate development, property management, cultural communication and bioengineering. Among the 266 employees, there are 3 postdocs, 5 doctors, 10 masters and 6 returned students, which can be described as elite soldiers and strong generals, said Wang Shuanhong. Aware of the value of talents, Wang Shuanhong said that he never bargains for talents, and Green Group allocates 500,000 yuan every year to send outstanding employees to Tsinghua University, the National University of Singapore and other schools for further study.

Green, which means green in English, is the color of spring. Green symbolizes infinite hope. After 10 years' efforts, Wang Shuanhong led his green man and finally got the green hope as he wished.

In the 26th year of Jian 'an, in 22 1 year, Guan Yu left Maicheng, was defeated, was captured, refused to surrender, and was victimized by Sun Quan. Its mount, Red Rabbit Horse, was given to Ma Zhong by Sun Quan.

One day, Ma Zhong went to the table: Red hare fasted for several days and was dying. Sun Quan was frightened, so he called on Boshi, a famous man in Jiangdong. After being Bole, this man is said to be proficient in horse language.

Ma Zhong led Bob back to the house and went to the trough. He saw Red Rabbit lying on the ground, sobbing. Everyone is puzzled, but Bo likes to know. Bo Xi shrugged off the soldiers, stroking their backs and sighed, "Once upon a time, Cao Cao wrote,' Although turtles live a long life,' an old horse crouches in a tiger, aiming for a thousand miles. "Martyrs are full of courage in their twilight years. I know you miss General Guan's kindness and want to study underground. However, on that day, the White Gate Tower in Lv Fengxian was killed, and you are no longer so dependent on each other. Why isn't such a suicide thousands of miles away today?

Red hare hissed and sighed: "Taste it,' A bird is dying, and its song is also sad; When people are dying, their words are very good. "I was lucky to meet Mr. Wang today, so I can tell you my heartfelt words. I was born in Xiliang and was later acquired by Dong Zhuo. This man was arrogant and killed Shaodi and Wolong Bed. He is really a Chinese thief, and I hate it. "

Bo Xi nodded and said, "I heard later that Marotta proposed to dedicate you to Lu Bu, who is the bravest general in the world. Everyone said,' Lu Bu is in the crowd, and Red Rabbit is in the horse pile.' I think it is worthy of your ambition. "

Red hare sighed and said, "It's not fair. Lyu3 bu4 this person is the most treacherous, killing Ding Yuan for honor, stabbing Dong Zhuo for beauty, taking Xuzhou for Liu Bei, marrying Yuan Shu, and beheading his marriage envoy. Being as famous as such a dishonest person is a great shame in my life. Later, he returned to Cao Cao, and his men were like clouds, but no one was a hero. I'm afraid I'll only be humiliated by slaves and die in the gutter. Later, Cao Cao gave me to General Guan; I have seen Hulao Pass's military courage and kindness on the White Gate Tower, and I have admired him for a long time. General Guan saw my great joy and thanked Cao Cao. When Cao Cao asked why, General Guan replied, "I know this horse travels thousands of miles every day, but it is a good thing now." . If I know where my brother is tomorrow, I can see him in a day. He is so honest. As the saying goes,' husband and wife fly far with birds, and the quality of people is high'. Dare I not pay for my death? "

Bo was very happy when he heard this. He sighed and said, "Everyone says that the general is an honest man. This is indeed what I heard today. "

Red hare sobbed and said, "I have tasted the lofty meaning of not eating Boyi and Shu Qi in Zhou Su. Jade can be broken without damaging its whiteness, and bamboo can be broken without destroying its knots. Scholars die for friends, people live for sincerity, and I would like to eat Wu Su and live in the world? " With these words, he fell to the ground and died.

Bo Xi burst into tears and said, "How can people be inferior when things are like this?" After sun quan finished playing. Quan also cried: "I didn't know Yunshang was so honest. Now this loyal man has been hurt by me. How can I see the whole world? "

After Sun Quan passed the decree, Guan Yu and his son were buried with Red Rabbit.
