Zheng's people bought the box and returned it to the businessman. This can be said to be good at selling boxes, but it cannot be said to be good at selling pearls. The Chu people stood there awkwardly with the returned pearls. He thought others would appreciate his pearls, but he didn't expect the exquisite outer packaging to exceed the value in the box, so that "a presumptuous guest usurps the host's role" made the Chu people laugh and cry.
