Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

This sudden scene left He An completely stunned. When he came back, the list of producers at the end of the screen had appeared.

It's just that the list of producers is not broadcasted in the game, but a news report.

"The President delivered a eulogy to the death of Jeff Elnor, the current president of the Luxury Group, through the official White House blog. The full text of the eulogy is as follows:"

"'Shocked by the news of the death of Mr. Jeff Elnor, Mitchell (Mrs. President) and I are deeply saddened. Jeff is hardworking, self-disciplined, and has a noble character. Best-selling author, but also our good friend. '"

"'He is good at thinking differently, believing that he can work hard to change the world and help others. His charitable foundation has rescued tens of thousands of homeless people, and his book" Struggle and Getting Rich "inspires Countless young people struggle for their dreams. '""

"'The world has lost a visionary and he will always be missed by people. Mitchell and I will send our thoughts and prayers to Jeff's wife, his family and all those who love him. '"

"..."

"It is reported that Mr. Jeff Elnor was brutally murdered by the murderer when signing at a bookstore in the Brooklyn area. Tens of thousands of people were excited and demanded that the law severely punish the murderer."

"At present, it is unclear what the murderer's real motive was. The police never found him having any trouble with Mr. Jeff. The murderer seemed to have a mental disorder and refused to answer any questions from the police. He just kept repeating the word" cheater. " Judgment, this station will continue to track ... "

On the final news screen, the protagonist's parents, wife, and children cried silently at the protagonist's funeral.

The rich version of the game is now over.

...

He An was a little dizzy.

Gone?

ended?

What does this ending mean?

My career has just taken off, and people are gone?

Who is this murderer?

Why should he kill me?

Did I choose some wrong options before, so did I end the tragedy?

It always feels like something is wrong.

He An thought about it carefully. The flow of the whole game seems to be okay. The transition between the scenes is natural, the details are done very well, and there is a sense of substitution.

Only this is the end, it is too abrupt, there is no foreshadowing before!

He An thought for a while and thought that he might have missed some links and steps. After playing the two weeks or the poor version, he might be able to make other endings.

After all, there are at least dozens of branches to choose from, which may hide some other options that can change fate.

However, He An doesn't plan to play for two weeks now. The result is a bit of trauma to him.

The game as a whole is very well done, no matter the story, plot, lines or details of the picture, there is nothing to be picky about. This is the story alone, which makes people confused.

This kind of feeling is like going to a banquet. Good wine and good dishes come up one by one, but the table is lifted just after the first bite.

"Is there some content related to the rich version hidden in the poor version?"

He An could not help but have such an idea.

Although the poor version of the introduction is enough to dissuade, He An still has some luck.

What if there is any special content?

He thought about it for a moment, or clicked on the poor version and started the game.

Like the rich version, the beginning of the poor version begins with a monologue.

...

"I am very grateful to my father."

"If it were n’t for him, I would probably go to Polkin Elementary School, one of the worst public elementary schools in the country, and half of the graduates would go to the middle school called the 'sinkhole', where more than 40% Of students cannot graduate, so they are also called 'dropout factories'. "

"There are 2,000 such" drop-out factories "in the country, and they will continuously send idle young people to the society."

"In our state, 68% of the criminals are high school dropouts, and the state government presents a ridiculous inversion of capital investment in prisons and students. The money spent on a prisoner every four years is enough for a child in private After finishing K12 from kindergarten, the school still has 20,000 dollars left to go to university. "

"70,000 people are homeless in the country's largest city, and they encounter countless beggars, mentally handicapped people, alcoholics, and former criminals on the streets and subway stations every day."

"36% of them are children, and the remaining 64% are mostly single mothers and single men without children."

"In this country, you must first have a sum of money in order to continue to cycle your life in a cheap way."

"If you fall to the point where you need relief, you can't find a job when you get relief, you can't rent a house without work, and you can't do anything without a house. Once reduced to homeless, it means social death, even You are in good health, with perfect hands and feet, and it is impossible to return to your previous life. You can only wander the streets for a lifetime. "

"I'm very sensitive to these numbers. I don't know if this is a talent or a survival instinct."

"Maybe the lives of the poor are just a series of numbers."

"Many poor people will complain about their parents."

"But no matter what, I am very grateful to my father."

"He didn't make me one of these people."

"My father has always told me that I want to learn from those who are excellent, change the thinking of the poor, work hard, and not follow the crowd."

"Struggle will change your life."

"I am convinced of this."

Unlike the beginning of the rich version, the beginning of the poor version is not a specific event, but a lot of fragmented scenes, depicting the pictures in the narration of the protagonist in an abstract way.

Immediately afterwards, it is the childhood memories of the protagonist.

"Shortly after I was born, my mother had to resign as a full-time wife because only she could take care of me."

"This situation hasn't changed until I went to kindergarten, because kindergarten will leave school at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, leaving children alone at home will violate the laws protecting children."

"So, if my mother's after-tax salary cannot go to a kindergarten or cram school to meet child protection laws, it would be better not to go to work, but it will save more money."

"My father has to work more than ten hours a day, and I rarely see him. But his contribution is meaningful. He took me away from Polkin Elementary School and came to a better school district."

"We live in low-rent housing, which is a kind of luck, because you can only stay in the income range of 20% to 25%. You must be richer than 75% and at the same time richer than the lowest 20% This is a very demanding number. "

"Hobbies? No, that's a number I can't afford."

Along with the protagonist's narration, scenes of the scene flashed on the screen.

In the low-rent housing, the protagonist ’s mother is taking care of the baby alone, and the busy room is in a mess.

The public school of the protagonist is also very different from the private school of the rich version, but what is more surprising is the after-school entertainment.

In the rich version, the player's entertainment activities are horse riding, archery, learning music and painting, while in the poor version, the player's entertainment activities are running in the yard, cycling, or playing football, or playing baseball.

Although these mini-games are also very elaborate, they become dull compared to the rich version.

He An wants the protagonist to learn some hobbies instead of running wild in the yard every day, but soon finds that he is running out of money.

Ask the teacher to come to teach the cello, the price is 75 knives per hour;

Parents take their children to take swimming lessons for 20 knives every 30 minutes, if it is a more professional course, it is 200 knives per hour.

Gymnastics lesson is 30 minutes, 5 ~ 10 children go together, the opening teacher leads the warm-up for 2 minutes, the rest time is the parents accompany the child to play the prop equipment, each class 20 knife.

Even these courses of low quality and not cheap prices need to be booked more than 2 months in advance.

For He An, compared to the rich version, the most prominent feeling is boring.

Because there is no money, there are so few options to choose from, whether it is running around in the yard or riding a bicycle, you can obviously realize that you are in a waste of time.

In the same way, the characters in the poor version are also very Facebook-like, and the obesity problem is serious, which also fully conforms to the stereotype.

After childhood, it is youth. The protagonist relies on hard work to enter high school and loan to college. In high school, there are more activities, you can participate in choirs and orchestras, you can participate in debates.

Although the protagonist of the poor and the protagonist of the rich have worked hard, there is a big gap in the resources available.

Whether you can enter the university will determine the content of the game in the later working stage.

If you do not have professional skills, you can only work as waiters in restaurants, cleaning staff, elderly caregivers or tallymen in supermarkets. Even working seven days a week and working two jobs will still go bankrupt;

Colleagues were accidentally sprained during cleaning, dared not to call an ambulance, or even to go home to rest, they could only continue to clean on one foot, because the team could not lose a day ’s salary, the team leader only asked her to "calm down, work support past".

If you want to get a job in a low-end service industry, you can only find a job in a big city, but the rent in a big city has been raised by the rich to an almost unaffordable level. If you ca n’t afford a cheaper monthly apartment deposit, you can only If you go to a capsule hotel with high price and daily settlement, the more you live, the poorer you will be. If you become ill or enter the peak season, the rent will rise, and you will risk bankruptcy or even sleeping on the street.

If you find a job through your own hard work and earn about 4,000 dollars per month, the situation will be slightly better, but the various expenses will still be overwhelming, and the monthly fixed expenses will account for all the income. 80%, tax and insurance 25%, rent 29%, child education 26%, car 5%, water and electricity 5%, food and clothing 10%, not including medical treatment.

Basically, it is difficult to leave 400 knives per month. If something happens, it is still bankrupt and homeless.

If you can do all the choices and get a relatively high-paying job, your life will be relatively more generous, but various related expenses will also increase linearly, and some expenses that you did not have to spend have become necessary options.

And this is what makes He An feel the most outrageous. He can obviously save a lot of money, but a lot of expenses are still forcibly deducted by the game, such as:

Purchase luxury suits and bags for decent work;

It cost 2,000 knives and took the child to the sea paradise for three days at the birthday;

Social expenses, including living communities, children's extracurricular learning, etc., are also a lot of money;

In order to save money, I am used to paying in installments by credit card, so that the number of credit card repayments is very high in each installment. I do n’t know where the money was spent ...

These choices seem to have certain inevitability, such as buying luxury suits and bags, the protagonist originally did not want to buy, but all the colleagues of the company are using it, if not, they are out of tune with colleagues, and it is difficult to integrate into their circles.

Therefore, the protagonist finally gritted his teeth to buy these things.

At this point, He An seemed to understand a bit what the protagonist said at first.

The life of the poor is a series of numbers, and this number is a variety of expenses.

In the end, however, this number collapsed.

As the protagonist's consumption level is getting higher and higher, sudden unemployment destroys all of this, and the entire chain quickly collapses: losing income, not yet credit cards, banks to collect houses, and card debts not accumulating interest ...

So, the protagonist's living environment returned to his father's appearance.

In one scene after another, the protagonist's voice sounded again.

"My father has always told me that I want to learn from those who are excellent, change the thinking of the poor, work hard, and not follow the crowd."

"Struggle will change your life."

"I tried hard, but everything seems to be back to its original state, and nothing has changed."

"Is my struggle meaningless? I don't think so. At least, I haven't become a member of the homeless."

"I often think:"

"If I didn't lose my job ..."

"If I deposit more ..."

"If I could reduce the cost ..."

"If ... I can make more choices, can I change my destiny?"

The final scene is when the protagonist returns home late at night after finishing the day's work and walks lightly to the child's room.

In the darkness, he looked at the sleeping child by the moonlight and covered him with a blanket.

At this moment, the child woke up and rubbed his soft tender hands, asking, "Dad, why do you come back so late every day and never have time to accompany me?"

He was silent for a while and touched the child's forehead: "Because my mother does not have a job, my father must work hard to make money."

The child said, "When will Dad stay with me?"

He said: "Wait for Dad to make enough money."

The child's eyes shined: "Dad, when I grow up and earn enough money, you can accompany me every day, right?"

"Then Dad, UU reading www.uukanshu.com how can I make enough money?"

The protagonist was silent for a long time, and then said: "Money will not fall from the sky. Only if you are not satisfied with the status quo, can life be better."

"To learn from those excellent people, to change the thinking of the poor, to work hard, not to follow the trend."

"Work hard to change your life."

The child's big eyes shone brightly in the moonlight and nodded heavily.

The game is over and a list of producers appears on the screen.

This ending picture is a young man who is digging in and studying hard, while at the same time, another younger narration that differs from the protagonist's voice sounds.

"My father has always told me that I want to learn from those excellent people, change the thinking of the poor, work hard, and not follow the crowd."

"Struggle will change your life."

"I am convinced of this."
