   《易经》与概率：古人怎么算风险 | The I Ching and Probability: Risk Before Statistics

   This episode of Financial Jazz goes back to an older question: before probability and statistics existed, how did people face an uncertain future?We move from the I Ching to the law of large numbers, and from the ledgers, contracts, and collateral of traditional merchants to the risk logic behind choosing an auspicious day to open for business.In this conversation:・What the I Ching actually is, what hexagrams and lines are, and where the number 64 comes from・How traditional merchants managed risk, and whether practical tools and divination coexisted・What probability is: the law of large numbers and combinatorics, in plain terms・Ian Hacking's "taming of chance," and the shift from a determined future to a probabilistic one・Casting a hexagram with three coins: yin and yang at 50/50, and whether that is already a probability mechanism・Jiao Xun using binomial expansion and Yang Hui's triangle, known in the West as Pascal's triangle, to derive the total number of hexagrams・Why fortune telling still sits close to business decisions ・The limits of divination and what it cannot replace本期《Financial Jazz》，我们回到一个更古老的问题：在概率与统计出现之前，人们如何面对不确定的未来？我们从《易经》谈到大数定律，从传统商人的账簿、契约与抵押，谈到"择吉日开张"背后的风险逻辑。本期内容：・《易经》究竟是什么，什么是卦、什么是爻，64这个数字从何而来・传统商人如何管理风险，实用工具与占卜信仰能否并存・用最平实的语言解释什么是概率：大数定律与排列组合・Ian Hacking 所说的"驯服偶然"，以及从既定的未来转向概率的未来・三枚硬币起卦：阴阳各占50%，这是否已经构成一种概率机制・焦循如何用二项式展开与杨辉三角（西方称帕斯卡三角）推导出卦象总数・为什么算命至今仍与商业决策紧密相关・占卜的边界，以及它无法取代的东西Disclosure: The information provided in this podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.

   The Price of Advice | 建议的价格

   Most investors believe they are choosing an advisor. In reality, they are choosing a system.In this episode, we break down how an investment committee member evaluates regulation, advisory structures, fee models, and decision-making frameworks. We explore the evolution of management fees, what they truly represent, and why lower cost is often good, but not always superior.We also compare human-driven advice with automated systems, offering a framework for how investors should think about value, not just price. Through a familiar real-world analogy, we illustrate the trade-off between consistency and independence.Disclosure: The information provided in this podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.

   Taxes Exist: Risk, Law, and the Difference Between Reporting and Planning 税收的存在: 风险、法律，以及报税与税务规划的区别

   In this episode, we step back from tactics and start with first principles. We trace the brief history of Canada’s Income Tax Act, explain why taxes exist in the first place, and clarify the critical difference between tax reporting and true tax planning.We also unpack how traditional advisor-led tax planning differs from the integrated, risk-aware strategies used at Boreal Family Office, and how this evolved from the work done at Black Key Financial Consulting Inc. Finally, we explore the often-ignored relationship between tax decisions and risk — and why misunderstanding this link leads to fragile outcomes.本期节目从“原理”出发，而不是从技巧开始。我们简要回顾加拿大《所得税法》的发展历史，解释税收存在的根本原因，并清晰区分“税务申报”与“真正的税务规划”之间的本质差异。节目中也会深入比较：传统理财顾问层面的税务规划，与 Boreal Family Office 所采用的、以风险为核心的家族办公室级税务与结构策略有何不同，以及这一思路如何从 Black Key Financial Consulting Inc 的实践中逐步演化而来。我们还将讨论税务与风险之间经常被忽视的关系，以及忽略这一点为何会削弱家族财富的长期稳定性。This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, tax, investment, or financial advice.
