Sign 50: Tao Zhugong Became Wealthy

After Fan Li left Yue, he went to Tao, changed his name to Zhugong, and amassed wealth through trade. His method was: "When others discard, I take; when others take, I give." Also: "Sell precious goods as if they were dirt; buy cheap goods as if they were pearls." In nineteen years, he made a fortune three times and distributed it among the poor and relatives. The world called him Tao Zhugong, and later generations revered him as the Sage of Commerce.

This upper sign indicates smooth business. In career, you can achieve great success; it is good to share wealth and gather virtue. In love, wealth may attract partners, but do not value profit over righteousness. Financially, excellent, but you must help the world. Fan Li's wealth lies in knowing when to advance and retreat; advise you to emulate his benevolence and virtue.
