Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

"This is actually understandable."

"Because" Better Tomorrow "is a movie and" Struggle "is a game, Mr. Pei has meticulously portrayed the details in it. Every viewer and player can get more or less information when they see it. . "

"But in real life, everyone faces different situations, and the information that everyone gets from" reality "is very different."

"Some people have changed their destiny through their struggles, while others have not; some people have seen the warm side of the world, and some people have seen the cold side of the world."

"So, their views on the real world are naturally very different."

"And what I want to emphasize is that for the real world, Mr. Pei has actually expressed his views, but most people don't realize it."

"Why? Everyone look at my title: Silent Expresser."

"This expression is a silent expression. It will not be said clearly, but depends on you to understand."

"Okay, next, please click on the second link in the video introduction, and read carefully what President Pei expressed in his alma mater's speech to poor students."

"Three, two, one."

"Okay, I believe everyone understands. President Pei donated 15 million to these poor students, and the purpose of this speech is to tell these poor students to make good use of these wealth."

"But President Pei did not emphasize‘ thrift ’, but‘ attention ’.”

"Actually, this is Mr. Pei's own view of wealth. Although he doesn't agree with consumerism, he doesn't think that" trick "is good."

"In the face of the problem of wealth, many people tend to go to two completely opposite extremes:"

"A kind of person thinks that having fun in time is good, as soon as the salary is paid, it will be spent immediately, and even have to use the credit card to advance consumption and buy something that is completely beyond their ability;"

"And another person thinks that it is good to save money desperately, trying every means to seize every inch of small profits, obviously rich, but living like a beggar, but missed many opportunities."

"Obviously, these two extreme ideas are wrong."

"And President Pei's speech told us that for everyone, our most precious thing is not money, but attention!"

"As long as we use our attention properly, we can naturally make more money; on the contrary, if we are too concerned about small gains and wasted our attention, it is because of small losses."

"Then some people may ask, what does this speech have to do with this video and the game" Struggle "?"

"Of course it does."

"The content of this speech, together with all the industries of President Pei, is actually supplementing the content that is not in" Struggle ". It is telling us that in real life, what is" struggle "?"

"When facing the problem of" struggle ", many people will also go to two completely opposite extremes."

"A kind of person thinks that struggle is meaningless, and struggle can't change anything. It's better to live by and pass. There is wine now and drunk now, and tomorrow's things will be said tomorrow;"

"And another kind of person believes that as long as they work hard, they will be able to live the life they want, and never ask themselves whether the method of struggle is correct."

"Both ideas are obviously wrong."

"Before answering this question, let me add one point: He An pointed out that one of the root causes of the poor man ’s tragedy in the game of" Struggle "is" consumerism "and" intelligence IQ tax ". The position of the middle class was harvested by consumerism, and the hard-earned wealth finally fell into the cycle of poverty again. "

"In the game" Struggle ", consumerism has controlled the entire society, so the poor people in the game have no choice; but in real life, consumerism has not yet become the consensus of the entire society, so we resist consumerism , You can complete the initial accumulation of wealth without being harvested. "

"For this, there are also many people who have doubts, because He An does not say what consumerism is."

"According to the general definition, consumerism is the most behavior of most people in society, which is to pursue decent consumption, craving uncontrolled material enjoyment and pastime, and regard these as the purpose of life and the value of life."

"But I believe that everyone has their own views on the two concepts of" consumerism "and" intelligence tax. "

"Many times we will find that the concepts of" consumerism "and" intelligence quotient "seem to vary from person to person."

"A very simple example: two packs of paper towels, one pack of five dollars, and another pack of twenty dollars. Is the twenty-dollar tissue paper an IQ tax?"

"A lot of people think it is. Since they are all paper towels, you can increase the price by four times when you put a card on it. Isn't this insulting your IQ?"

"Then if I tell you that the latter is softer, more delicate, and the process is more complicated, which will bring you a better experience? Do you still think it is IQ tax?"

"Similarly, for an ordinary person, tens of thousands of brand-name bags may be IQ tax, but for a billionaire, are tens of thousands of brand-name bags still IQ tax?"

"I think many people have not thought about this issue in depth."

"So, some people hate consumerism, but some people think it's nothing. They think they can buy as long as their wealth can support themselves to buy brand-name shoes and brand-name bags."

"Here, I don't judge right or wrong, just speculate on President Pei's view on this point."

"A lot of people dislike the game" Struggle "because they think it only raises questions, but it just slogans and does not propose a solution."

"For this, I want to say: the gap between rich and poor is an eternal problem in human society. So far there is no absolutely correct solution. It is impossible to expect someone to give an answer that will satisfy everyone. Not realistic. "

"For this question, everyone should think independently and give their own answers."

"But President Pei has indeed given an operable answer, but everyone didn't realize it."

"Return to the wealth view expressed by President Pei in his speech before: people's most precious wealth should be attention. And how to properly use the money in their hands?"

"It should be used to pry one's attention."

"And President Pei did exactly that."

"After President Li's interpretation on the interview column, and Mr. Pei's photo, everyone should understand that Pei is always a person who thinks about all the time. He really has been practicing this: even a billion Millionaire, his attention is also the most precious. "

"And what about Mr. Pei's daily life? We see that he lives in a sloth apartment, eats fish and takes away food, but also wears brand-name suits and expensive watches, but the value of suits and watches is limited. Compared with his worth, it is still much worse. "

"At this time, some people may think that what President Pei said is contradictory:"

"Emphasis on using your own attention, but in developing games to distract players' attention;"

"Emphasized to resist consumerism, but wearing brand-name suits and high-end watches."

"But if you think about it carefully, is this a contradiction? Having figured out this question, everything has an answer."

...

Seeing this, He An couldn't help but stunned.

He didn't expect that Qiao Laoshi even extended the topic here!

In He An ’s opinion, it is certainly true to resist consumerism, but who can be 100% unaffected by consumerism?

Just like He An himself, he made money, he also had to buy a big villa and a luxury car. Strictly speaking, this is also consumerism.

If he totally resists consumerism, He An should use the earned money to operate the company to create greater value, or to do charity to help more people.

But he obviously did not do this, but left a lot of money for personal enjoyment.

Therefore, He An did not fully expand the issue of "consumerism" in his long Weibo.

He feels subconsciously that the so-called consumerism actually depends on your income level.

If you are a poor man with a salary of 3,000 yuan a month, if you have to save money to buy a sports car, you will be brainwashed by consumerism; but if you are a billionaire, if you want to buy a luxury car, you will buy it, and it will not affect his life. What impact.

However, He An himself is very clear that this statement is somewhat contradictory and cannot be self-consistent.

If the conclusion is "you can't buy designer bags when you don't have money, you can buy them when you have money", it seems to be very unconvincing, and it also makes people feel that it discriminates against the poor, and it seems that the poor are not worthy of buying this kind of thing.

Instead, it fell into the trap of consumerism.

Therefore, what Qiao Laoshi said now is actually very dangerous, and must be carefully demonstrated, and he will overturn if he is not careful.

Now that you know the fact that President Pei also wears brand-name suits and watches, how can you persuade others to reject these things?

With some worries, He went to the book www.uukanshu.com He An to continue reading.

...

"Obviously, this is not contradictory."

"I have been emphasizing before that everyone should not fall into the misunderstanding of either or both."

"We really need to make good use of our attention, but can human beings ensure that they control all of their attention at all times?"

"Of course impossible."

"So we emphasize that we must have an eight-hour work system. Within eight hours, we work and study seriously, and beyond eight hours, we also need to rest and relax."

"That is to combine work and rest."

"Games actually help us to rest and relax. Whether it is a game with outstanding gameplay or a game with superior artistic quality; whether it is a game that makes people laugh, or a game that makes people think, for us Makes sense. "
