to do very badly. He immediately called in Feng Shui experts. They told him that because his new office block
was round, it was like a huge cigarette, and all the energy was burning off through the roof. They said that the
only thing he could do to prevent this loss of energy was to build a swimming pool on the roof. The millionaire
followed their advice, and his business immediately started to do well.
In recent years, Feng Shui has become popular in many western countries, where company such as B&Q have
started to seek advice from Feng Shui experts. Before his store was openned, Brian Ingliss, the manager of one
