Origin Story
从前，有个贪婪的商人，他生意做得很大，但是他存心不良，经常欺骗顾客，坑蒙拐骗，赚取暴利。有一天，他听说邻村有个富翁要出售他的珍藏的古董，便动起了歪心思，想方设法以低价买下，然后高价卖出，从中牟取暴利。他乔装打扮成一个穷苦的农民，来到富翁家，装出一副诚恳的样子，最终以极低的价格买下了富翁的古董。商人拿到古董后，立刻转手高价卖出，赚取了巨额利润。然而，他的行为最终被识破，受到了法律的制裁。
Once upon a time, there was a greedy merchant who had a large business, but he had evil intentions and often cheated his customers, making huge profits. One day, he heard that a wealthy man from the neighboring village was going to sell his treasured antiques, and he had a bad idea. He tried to buy them at a low price and then resell them at a high price to make a huge profit. He disguised himself as a poor farmer, went to the wealthy man's house and pretended to be sincere. Eventually, he bought the wealthy man's antiques at a very low price. After receiving the antiques, the merchant immediately resold them at a high price and made an enormous profit. However, his behavior was eventually exposed, and he was punished by the law.
