A partnership question, and the split in July

4 July 2026Jinan, Shandong Translated by AI

She asked how to handle a business partner whose plans did not match reality. I said the partnership would end around summer next year; it ended in July.

Thank you for the divination fee.

No rush. Right now, he introduced a project, but a lot of the actual situation is not what he said. For example, he said how good the company's products are, how well the people in the company get along with him. But from what I've seen, first, I feel the company's strength is average. Second, the people in the company don't take him seriously [emoji]. So I feel it won't go well if we keep working on it. The partner has a bunch of unrealistic, pie-in-the-sky fantasies of getting rich overnight! But I'm still grateful to him. After all, I just started my company, having business is better than having none. So please, take a look—what's the best way for me to deal with this partner? Thank you for your trouble!

不着急目前他介绍了一个项目但是很多实际情况跟他说的不一样比如他说那个公司的产品多么好公司的人跟他关系多好但我接触下来觉得首先那个公司的实力我感觉一般其次那个公司的人都不把他当回事 [emoji] 所以感觉做下去后面也不会太好合伙人一堆天马行空不切实际的一夜暴富的幻想！但我还是感激他毕竟我刚成立公司有业务也比没有要好！所以拜托您看下这个合伙人我如何应对才是最优解！您费心啦！

[redacted] several. Notes: 1. Both the original hexagram and the changed hexagram fall into tomb—this means it's over. Your relationship with this partner will gradually unravel, and you will part ways. 2. The inner hexagram is Tian Feng Gou (Heaven and Wind Meeting): you will not agree on opinions. And there will be a direct conflict between the two of you in the short term, which is likely to be quite intense. In the long run, you will gradually drift apart. During the separation, there will be some issues with profit distribution, and you will likely end up giving the other party some benefits.

[redacted]几个提示: 1 本卦和变卦都入墓了，这就是终结了，你和这个合伙人的关系会慢慢解开，散伙了。 2 互卦是天风姤，在意见上不统一，且你俩之后在短期会有一次正面冲突，容易比较激烈，长期看是慢慢分散。分散的过程里会涉及些利益分配，你也容易给对方点儿好处。

3. From your BaZi (known in the West as the Four Pillars of Destiny), [redacted], there will definitely be arguments, and your career structure will be restructured. Between next year and the year after, this partner will be removed, but a new partner will come in. Your career always progresses through partnerships. 4. Be prepared for conflict, and it may affect your reputation. But when weighing two harms, choose the lesser one. Timing-wise, around summer next year is basically when you will part ways. If you drag it out and keep working together, then next year and the year after, his decisions will lead to financial loss or career stagnation, and you will bear unnecessary consequences.

3 从你的八字看，[redacted]，必有口舌，且你的事业结构会重组，明年到后年，会去掉这个合伙人，但是进入新的合作伙伴，你的事业总是在合作中进行的。 4 要做好面对冲突的准备，且容易对于名誉有影响，但是两害相权取其轻，时间看明年的夏季前后吧，基本就是分散的时候。如果拖着还要继续合作的话，那么明后年会因为他的决策导致破财或者事业停滞，你会承担不必要的后果。

Please take this.

I don't even want to work with him this year.

我今年就不想跟他干了

He has too many little schemes.

他这个人小心思太多

My Singapore platform really doesn't like him.

我新加坡平台非常不喜欢他

What's the best way to distance myself from him? He just introduced a new cooperation project! I hope it's best if the project he introduced has a conflict with him and he quits, then I can take the chance to break off the partnership too.

怎样远离他最好呢他现在介绍了一个合作项目！我是希望最好他自己介绍的项目和他产生冲突不干了我顺势也就和他散伙了最好

Zongyuan

You mostly can't get out of it this year. You two still have some tangled resources that aren't sorted out.

今年多数还脱离不开，你俩还有点扯不清楚的资源

Mm, it will be next summer.

嗯要明年夏季

It will just naturally fall apart, right?

自然而然就散了对吧

Around June-July, there will be an opportunity for conflict.

Then I won't take on any new cooperation with him now, just finish this current one.
