1.Encounters: The Transformation of Debt and Fortune.
In the dust of Nanhai County, Qin Shiliang's life seemed to be forgotten by fate. His poor family and the difficulty of running his small grocery store forced him to consider borrowing from the mysterious rich man Yang Million. Yang Million lent money on the condition of meeting each other, which made Qin Shiliang both curious and apprehensive. Finally, in desperation, Qin Shiliang took the step of asking Yang Million for help. In Yang Million's mansion, an unusual face-to-face ceremony changed his fate - Yang Million took a fancy to his face, not only lent him five hundred taels of silver, but also predicted that he would become rich in the future.
Qin Shiliang stepped into Yang Million's mansion, and his heart was full of doubts and expectations. The mansion was lavishly furnished and resplendent in gold, in stark contrast to his daily humble life. Yang Million sat on a carved mahogany chair, his gaze deep and mysterious, as if he could perceive people's hearts.
Mr. Qin, please be seated. Yang Million's voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
Qin Shiliang sat down nervously, feeling an indescribable sense of oppression. Yang Million's eyes carefully examined his face, as if he was looking for some secret.
Your physiognomy is special. Yang Million suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
Qin Shiliang's heart was beating faster, and he didn't know how to respond. Yang Million continued: "Your eyebrow bones are high and your eyes are bright, which is a sign of wealth. I am confident that you will do great things in the future. ”
These words made Qin Shiliang feel both surprised and excited. He never imagined that he would have such a fate.
However, fate also requires human effort. Yang Million said earnestly, "You have to make good use of these five hundred taels of silver." ”
Qin Shiliang nodded, and there was a glimmer of hope in his heart. He cautiously asked, "Mr. Million, what are your views on the future?"”
Yang Million smiled, his eyes flashing with wisdom: "Destiny is flowing, just like a river." The choices you make now will determine the direction of the future. Remember, opportunities often come to those who are ready. ”
These words were like a key that opened the door in Qin Shi's conscience. He felt a power he had never felt before, as if the whole world had opened its doors to him.
2.Ups and downs and changes of fate.
With a vision for the future, Qin Shiliang devoted himself to the sea with hope. He confidently sorted out the cargo and carefully planned the route. However, fate did not seem to favor him immediately. On his first voyage, he encountered relentless storms and ferocious pirates, his ships crumbling in rough seas and cargo scattered across the rough seas.
Qin Shiliang stood on the deck, watching all his hopes disappear with the waves. He felt helpless and frightened like never before. The catastrophe not only destroyed his goods, but also devoured all of his investments. Bankrupt, he faced a mountain of debts, and his heart was like ashes.
Qin Shiliang resolutely came to Yang Million's mansion again. He lowered his head and said in a heavy tone: "Mr. Yang, I failed." Huge losses at sea **, I. I can't afford to pay your debts. ”
Yang Million's expression was unexpectedly calm, and he said lightly: "Mr. Qin, the sea is full of risks. Your failure is not your personal problem. ”
Qin Shiliang raised his head, his eyes full of incomprehension and gratitude. Yang Million continued: "I am willing to lend you again. However, you need to rethink your business strategy. ”
Qin Shiliang clasped his hands tightly, tears in his eyes, "Mr. Yang, I can't repay you for your generosity." I will definitely remember this lesson and operate more carefully. ”
Yang Million nodded, smiled and said, "Fate has twists and turns, but don't forget the original intention." Keep going, and your perseverance will eventually be appreciated by fate. ”
When Qin Shiliang left the mansion, his mood changed drastically. He began to study the various risks of the sea more deeply and look for a more secure business strategy. He mingled with experienced captains and merchants to learn how they dealt with storms and pirates. He also paid special attention to the latest developments in weather forecasting and navigation technology, hoping to avoid similar disasters on future voyages.
With the encouragement and funding of Yang Million, Qin Shiliang regrouped and set off. His mentality is more mature and steady, and he is no longer as blindly optimistic as he was at the beginning. He knows that this challenge will be even tougher, but he also believes that with perseverance, he will one day achieve his dream. This failure, although heavy, became a valuable experience on his road to success.
3.An unexpected turn for the better and a stroke of luck.

Mr. Qin, I have some resources on land, maybe I can help you. Qin Shizhong proposed.
Qin Shiliang nodded in response: "That's great, I'm also willing to share my experience at sea." ”
This coincidence of fate allowed them to complement each other in business and move towards prosperity together. Qin Shiliang used Qin Shizhong's land network to broaden his business territory, and Qin Shizhong expanded his business further afield through Qin Shiliang's maritime connections.
