Guan Di lot 64 of 100
Good people meet in harmony
Highest (上上, 庚丁). Grades differ between editions, and many Taiwanese temples print none. Shown as Wikisource gives it. Wikisource prints no stem pair for this lot, so 庚丁 is from manekineko.com.tw.
吉人相遇本和同
況有持謀天水翁
人力不勞公論協
事成功倍笑談中
Good people who meet are naturally in harmony.
And there is also a Heaven-water old man to plan for you.
Without wearing out your strength, common opinion agrees,
and the work is done at double the result, in the middle of a laugh.
What this lot says
This is a lot about easy cooperation. The verse says the right people are in the room and that things go smoothly with little pushing.
If your question is about a partnership, the lot reads as favourable, with a note that a good adviser is part of it.
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
The story behind it
Guan Zhong and Bao Shu split the gold (管鮑分金)
According to the account on Wikisource, when Guan Zhong and Bao Shu were in business together, Guan Zhong took the larger share and Bao Shu, knowing he was poor, did not mind. Bao Shu later recommended him to the Duke of Qi, and Guan Zhong said that his parents bore him but Bao Shu knew him.

Where this text comes from
This verse is a traditional temple text with no known author. We read it from two named web transcriptions, Chinese Wikisource (the base text) and manekineko.com.tw. Neither is a scan of a printing, the edition behind them is mixed, and we could not establish whether the two are independent of each other.
