In China, two village men wanted to go to the city to find a job.  One of them wanted to go to Shanghai and the other to Beijing.

  But in the waiting hall of the train, they changed their plan because people said that the Shanghainese are very smart and even take money from strangers who ask them for their address, but the Beijingers are naive and if they see someone hungry, not only  They give him food, but also clothes. 

 A person who wanted to go to Shanghai thought to himself: "Beijing is a better place, if no one has money in that city, he will still not starve."  He said to himself, "It's good that I didn't get on the train, otherwise I would have fallen into a pit of fire." 

 A person who wanted to go to Beijing thought that Shanghai is better for me, even the advice of others is useful, it's a good thing I didn't take the train, otherwise I would have missed the chance to get rich. 

 Both people exchanged their tickets at the ticket counter.  The person who wanted to go to Beijing got the Shanghai ticket and the person who wanted to go to Shanghai got the Beijing ticket. 

 The first person entered Beijing. 

 He realized that Beijing is a really good city. 

 He did nothing for the first month.  He was also not hungry. 

 In banks, he would drink water and in supermarkets, he would eat advertising sweets that customers could eat without paying. 

 A person who went to Shanghai realized that Shanghai is a really good city. Everything in this city is profitable, even guiding people and so on. 

 He realized that if a good idea is found and implemented with effort, more money will be earned. 

 He then turned to mud and soil work.  After getting to know this work for a while, he loaded 10 bags containing sand and tree leaves and called it "potting soil" and sold it to the citizens of Shanghai who were interested in growing flowers. 

 He made a profit of 50 yuan a day, and by continuing to do this, he opened a shop in the big city of Shanghai within a year.  He then made a new discovery;  The luxurious sign of some commercial buildings was dirty.  He realized that the companies are only looking for washing the building and not washing the signs. 

 He used this opportunity.  He bought a ladder, water bucket and old cloth and opened a small sign washing company. 

 His company now has 150 workers and its activities have expanded from Shanghai to Hangzhou and Nanjing. 

 He recently traveled to Beijing by train for marketing. 

 At the railway station, he saw a tramp who asked him for an empty bottle.  While giving the bottle, he remembered the face of the person with whom he had exchanged train tickets five years ago.
