Chapter: 1032
Paul was genuinely curious about Ye Chen, initially thinking he was someone from the Yanjing Ye family. Later, when Ye Chen dispelled this doubt, Paul still had new suspicions due to Ye Chen's title as a master.
He invited Ye Chen over to take a look at the Feng Shui here, which was actually Paul's first test. The Feng Shui layout here had already been carefully planned by someone else.
If Ye Chen couldn't figure it out after coming, that would prove he wasn't qualified to be called a master of Feng Shui;
But if Ye Chen could see through this Feng Shui layout after coming, that would show his exceptional abilities.
Paul didn't expect Ye Chen to instantly notice all the Feng Shui arrangements here - and even the previous master had spent hours researching before figuring it out.
Ye Chen didn't get upset over Paul's doubts, instead appreciating Paul's candid nature, saying whatever was on his mind without hiding anything. This quality was already quite rare in today's society.
So he told Paul: "You want to see if I really have this genuine expertise? That's also only natural. But since you've invited me, I'll collect a fee for reading the Feng Shui here - that's also only natural."
In reality, Ye Chen hadn't planned to ask Paul for money beforehand, as he was after all his father-in-law's son and still wanted to give him face.
But since Paul was so candid, Ye Chen should also respond in kind.
Paul heard this and immediately said: "Of course, of course! Since I've invited Mr. Ye to come over, how could I not pay the fee?"
As he spoke, he didn't hesitate to take out a checkbook from his pocket, scribble something on it, tear it off, and hand it over to Ye Chen, saying, "Mr. Ye, this $100,000 is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it with a smile."
Ye Chen slightly smiled as he took the check, smiling and saying, "Well then, I'll just go along with your wishes."
He finished speaking and looked around, then said, "So that means this place has indeed been checked by someone knowledgeable. However, even experts can't help but overlook some things, just like when you enter a wealth-attracting Feng Shui chamber. The entrance is naturally unobjectionable, but the back end hasn't had any corresponding arrangements. That's a total loss."
Paul heard him say this and rushed to ask, "Mr. Ye, what do you mean by that?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "In Feng Shui, it's often said that purple energy comes from the east, wealth energy also comes from the east. Your entrance faces east, setting up a wealth-attracting Feng Shui chamber is completely fine. That means money will come in through your entrance and enter your company, which is a good start. However, your company must be able to retain the money to make progress."
He finished speaking and pointed behind him, saying, "Look at the back of your company. It's all transparent glass walls. Glass, when applied to Feng Shui, means nothing exists. So you entered from the front but couldn't retain it and went straight out from the back. Do you know what I mean?"
Paul asked anxiously, "Please, Mr. Ye, explain it clearly!"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "There's an old Chinese saying: 'Tying a basket to retrieve water is all in vain.' Why do we say that? It's because although the basket can collect water, its own seams are too big so it can't retain the water. If your company can't retain money, it will likely be in and out of financial trouble, with more coming in and going out, but ultimately nothing left."
Paul was startled and asked again, "Mr. Ye, how should we break through this kind of situation?"
Ye Chen replied calmly, "First, all the glass must have a film applied. I just said that transparent glass means nothing exists, but once it has some color, even if it's just a faint tea color, it's like turning that wall into a barrier."
Paul's eyes were still shining with excitement as he nodded and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Ye, I'll arrange for someone to take care of it right away."
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Paul hastily bowed and said, "Mr. Ye, please go on."
Ye Chen said, "At the same time you apply the film to the glass, you must also place a pair of Golden Locks on both sides, made of pure gold, so that they can have the best effect in terms of auspiciousness. Moreover, Golden Locks are famous for only eating and not eliminating, only entering and not leaving, which is the best method for preserving wealth. This is like setting up a treasure basin to retain wealth, and once money comes in, you will be able to keep it, causing your business to flourish."
Paul's face was filled with gratitude as he bowed his fists and said, "Mr. Ye truly deserves the title of Mr. Ye, starting from today, I too will respectfully address you as Mr. Ye!" JrNovels.com
