What we are going to talk about today is a mysterious group that has gone through thousands of years. They do exist in history, and even some of us have the honor to meet them. Today, we will unveil the mystery of this group together.
This mysterious group is special. Are handfuls of knives walking the streets, claiming to be descendants of Guiguzi. Guiguzi is an encyclopedic figure. Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Shang Yang, Lv Buwei, Li Mu and many other important figures are his disciples. Since he is a descendant of Guiguzi, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
Their names are knife men on credit. As the name implies, their knives are only sold on credit, and they will leave unfathomable predictions when they leave. This prophecy means that they will come to collect money after their prophecy is realized. However, the price charged at that time will be twice as high as the market price. Knives on credit are not weapons, but necessities such as kitchen knives and sickles.
It is said that the profession of borrowing knives first appeared in the Song Dynasty, when it was called "selling knives". As for the predictions they left after paying the knife, some were realized in a short time, while others took many years.
According to historical records, there was a mysterious knife seller in Fenghua, Zhejiang Province during the Xianfeng period. When he left, he said that he would come back to collect rice when the price dropped from 80 cents per liter to 18 cents per liter. People didn't think so at that time, but they never thought that the price of rice would really drop from 80 cents per liter to 18 cents per liter. People were amazed at that time.
The truth came out:
People who buy knives on credit are still a group of small businessmen after all. They are just a group of small businessmen selling kitchen knives and sickles. Because the rural economy was underdeveloped at that time, farmers had no money to buy necessities such as kitchen knives and sickles, so they could only buy them on credit. However, with credit, there will be the problem of breach of contract. In order to avoid the problem of breach of contract, the credit knife man agreed on the collection period through mysterious prophecy, creating a mystery that made the credit knife man afraid to breach the contract.
People who buy knives on credit have a gambling nature. They will raise the price of knives by half and come back to collect money when their predictions come true. In fact, people used to keep their promises and pay you no matter how long it took. At that time, people seldom knew the latest news outside. When people go back after buying knives on credit for a year, they will believe everything they say!
In short, people who bought knives on credit in history were businessmen. The so-called knives on credit are a bit like the feeling of futures now. He wants to make money, and after the knife is credited, they will definitely come back to collect the bill. Even if they don't go back to collect the accounts, it means that they have achieved their expectations. But after all, they are the products of underdeveloped period, so with the development of social economy, they gradually disappear in the long river of history, and may still exist in some remote and isolated rural areas. Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever heard of or seen a knife borrower?
