Chapter 77
Even when Huawei's capital flow was extremely tight, 70 consultants sent by IBM continued to work at Huawei, spending an average of 400 million yuan on tuition every year.
This was the birth of a private enterprise with the highest level of management in China.
…
When we came to the house on the far right side of the row of houses, the windows on all sides of the house were hung with thick navy blue curtains, so the light was not bright and it was very quiet. Xiaoman's relatively heavy breathing could be clearly heard.
At a glance, the room was empty as usual, with a few baggage piled haphazardly in the corner. I don't know what they contained.
The most eye-catching thing in the room is the wall at the end, which is inlaid with a huge square wooden shelf.
The wood of the Bogu rack is yellow with a hint of light green, the texture is elegant and well-proportioned, and gold threads are hidden.
The entire wooden shelf is divided into about thirty square grids, like a Go board hanging vertically against the wall.
On this antique shelf, there is an antique in every grid.
There are many kinds of antiques, including copper incense burners, eggplant skin crooked neck flower arrangements, sandalwood boxes, lotus leaf tea cups, jade Buddha statues, purple clay teapots, gold-painted square statues, and blue and white pen seas. Regardless of whether they are genuine or not, miscellaneous
It's really good enough, it can be said to be diverse.
The old man pointed his long nails at the wooden frame and smiled:
"Shoot over."
"In the words of Jianghu people, it is called a hundred steps to pierce the Yang. Come and try it."
"Shooting?"
This is so surprising.
Chang Xian asked loudly: "Gou Chun wine will be given to the other seats to keep warm, and the two seats will be covered with wax lamps to make them red?"
The old man nodded and said: "Yes, it is what Li Yishan said in his poem."
Chang Xian's heart trembled.
Of course he knew about Shefu, but he never dreamed that such an incident would happen in his lifetime.
In the past, I just listened to it as a story, but if this happened to me, it might turn into an accident.
The so-called Shefu originally refers to a game in ancient China.
The word "shoot" means to guess.
"Cover" means to cover.
The coverr covers an object with a bowl, box, etc., and the shooter guesses what is inside through divination and other methods.
"Book of Han: Biography of Dongfang Shuo": "The emperor ordered several families to shoot him down."
In the Three Kingdoms, Wei Guanlu and Jin Guopu all had shooting affairs.
This game has been very popular since the Han Dynasty and continued until the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China.
"A Dream of Red Mansions" also has Baoyu's birthday, Xue Baoqin and Xiangling draw lots to play shooting.
The Qing Dynasty's "Six Chapters of a Floating Life" states: "Yun is not good at drinking. If she is strong enough, she can drink three cups. She is taught to shoot and drink."
There is another saying: "Without lights on the bow of the ship, wait for the moon to drink quickly, and shoot it down as an order."
However, in the antique circle, this word represents a method of gambling.
The gambler places several antiques on the table, ranging from five or six to twenty or thirty, which is called "arrangement".
Ask the shooter to stand far away and pick out the most expensive or oldest of these antiques with only one stick of incense.
Either one of the genuine items or the only fake.
The selected topic is decided by the gambler.
This was originally just a side game to test one's eyesight, but later it slowly evolved into a form of gambling.
The antique circle is not a martial arts world. There are not so many life-and-death duels. When encountering irreconcilable conflicts, this method is used to determine the outcome.
This kind of gambling is different from fighting.
Doukou requires careful observation at close range to test whether it is true or false. The truth depends on the level of appraisal.
However, Shefu only allows you to stand and look at it from a distance. You cannot get close, let alone touch. Therefore, intuition, memory, eyesight and experience are all equally important.
It's even more difficult than Doukou.
Because Shefu was standing far away and couldn't see clearly, the key factor in victory or defeat was often not the ancient artifacts but psychology.
For example, the gambler displays two items, a blue and white porcelain bowl on the left and a rabbit hair brush on the right, and asks the gambler to guess which one is the most expensive.
According to common sense, the former is naturally more expensive, but there is no guarantee that the latter does not have a provenance. Will the gambler take advantage of the fact that the shooter is far away from the target and cannot carefully examine it, and deliberately dig a hole waiting for you?
If you think about it further, is it possible that they are planning an empty city and deliberately deploying troops to deceive them?
I keep thinking about it like this to no end.
These are just two antiques, and there is still a 50% chance of guessing.
Generally, a dozen or even twenty pieces are arranged together in a shooting. By that time, if you don't understand the psychology of the person who is arranging the array, you have no chance of winning.
The old man said leisurely: "No matter what happens in the world, it is the human heart. What we fight with is weapons and skills, but what we shoot and shoot with is people and their hearts."
"There once was an expert in the capital. People called him an eyesore. He had a unique skill. He could tell the genuine and fake items at a glance when he walked through an antique shop, and how much each cost. He could tell more accurately than the old masters.
"
"When the antique sellers saw him coming, they quickly blocked up their shops with curtains, so they got the nickname "Jie Jie"."
"He has participated in dozens of shootings and never lost. Even many old experts in the capital have fallen into his hands. What did he rely on?"
"It depends on the sharp eyesight that can see through people's hearts."
"Later, Eye Nail was playing a game of shooting. His opponent secretly made a hidden square when setting up the formation. He originally shot accurately, but he was secretly adjusted. Eye Nail didn't know the inside story, so he thought he was wrong, and he spurted blood.
Come out."
"Just at this moment, the self-confidence of the eyesighted person collapsed, and he has been unable to recover since then. His eyesight is no longer good..."
There is something in the old man's words.
He is betting on people's hearts, talking about people's hearts, and looking at people's hearts.
Chang Xian was awe-inspiring, withdrew his thoughts and looked at the ancient shelf.
There are thirty antiques on it, which is quite a lot. Fortunately, there are many kinds in this array, and there are almost no duplicates of the antiques. The differences are large, so it is relatively easy to guess.
If all thirty antiques were made of Jingdezhen porcelain, there would be too much fuzzy space, and Chang Xian could simply admit defeat.
The old man took out a stick of incense, took out an incense burner from the corner, put the incense in the incense burner, and then he drew a line on the ground with his gestures.
"Just stand here. I won't go out of my way. Just shoot the most expensive item in this ancient rack."
He lit the incense and said, "It takes one stick of incense."
A wisp of green smoke curled up, and the whole room immediately became quiet and distant.
Chang Xian stood on the line, his face tensed and his lips pursed tightly.
I really feel unsure.
He widened his eyes and looked over there.
The line drawn by the old man is not too far, about five or six meters away. Basically, the style, decoration, texture and individual inscriptions on the thirty objects can be clearly seen.
Can't see it anymore.
One stick of incense lasts about fifteen minutes, which means that you have to see something clearly every thirty seconds, which is quite a psychological pressure.
It really lives up to its reputation of being able to shoot people in the heart.
