In ancient times, there was a profession called: a knife lender. What is this occupation?

Knife borrower? Their working mode is mysterious. They sell knives, but they are not like ordinary knives. He sells the knife to you, and will not charge you immediately, but give it to you for free. At the same time, there will be predictions, such as that the price of rice will drop sharply one day. After the prophecy, people disappeared.

When their predictions really come true, they will automatically appear and ask the knife buyer for money. Amazingly, the predictions of these credit knife people usually come true. For example, a knife seller in the Song Dynasty predicted that the price of rice would one day drop from 80 to 18.

At that time, the people thought it was impossible, probably crazy. Just like someone told us today, the house price in Beijing will drop by 10 times one day. Will we believe it? But a few years later, the rice price in Song Dynasty really fell to 18, and this swordsman appeared.

It is precisely because of this ability that the knife-lender was regarded as a god at that time, and the people all thought that the knife-lender was a descendant of Guiguzi. They are sent by heaven to convey some information, and they have the ability to reach the sky. Later, many people devoted themselves to studying the profession of borrowing knives and found that it was not as mysterious as people thought.

These loan sharks only specialize in economics. They have a clear view on the changes of the market, the policies and directions of the imperial court, and boldly predict the future economic trend of the market. By waiting for a long time, in exchange for high returns. Kind of like our long-term investment now.

As long as such a prediction succeeds once, people will regard it as a god. Therefore, it will be easier for them to carry out their work. It must be admitted that even so, these credit knives are just as powerful. We can predict the future economic trend through the market and the government's policies.

This is not what ordinary people can do. Just like today's retail investors, not everyone can make money. Those who can make money are often more powerful people who know how to analyze the economic situation.
