Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Finally, this sudden scene completely stunned Ho An. By the time he returned to God, the list of staff at the end of the film had appeared on the scene.

It's just that with the list of producers, it's not a great shot of the game, it's a news story.

“Through the official White House blog, the President paid tribute to the passing away of Jeff Elno, the current president of the Luxury Group, as follows:”

“'Mitchell (Madam President) and I were deeply saddened by the news of the death of Mr. Jeff Elno. Jeff is diligent, self-disciplined, has a noble personality, is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, bestselling writer, and is a good friend of ours. ’ ”

“'He is good at thinking differently and believes he can work hard to change the world and help others. His philanthropic foundation has helped tens of thousands of homeless people, and his book Struggle for Wealth inspires countless young people to fight for their dreams. ’ ”

“‘The world has lost a visionary man who will always be missed. Mitchell and I are going to send our thoughts and prayers to Jeff's wife, his family and all those who love him. ’ ”

“ …… ”

“It has been reported that Mr. Jeff Elno was brutally murdered and tens of thousands of people were excited when he signed a bookstore in the Brooklyn area, demanding that the perpetrators be severely punished by law. ”

“At present, the real motive for the killings of the murderer is unclear, the police have not found any connection with Mr. Jeff, the murderer appears to be mentally handicapped and refuses to answer any questions from the police, only the term 'liar’ is repeated constantly. The trial of the murderer will be tracked continuously by this station...”

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

The wealthy version of the game is over.

……

He An is a little dizzy.

It's gone?

It's over?

What does this end mean?

My career just took off, and then people disappeared?

Who is this murderer?

Why would he kill me?

Was it the end of the tragedy because I had chosen some of the wrong options?

It always feels like something's wrong.

Ho An thought about it carefully, the whole game seemed to work fine, the conversion between scenes was natural, the details were well done, and it was very generative.

This is the only end, it's too abrupt, there was no padding at all!

Ho An thought about it and thought that he might have missed some steps and steps, played the second week or the poor version, and might be able to make other ends meet.

After all, there are at least a few dozen of these branches that may contain other options that can change fate.

But why doesn't Ann plan on playing for the second week now, which ended up traumatizing him a little.

The game is well done as a whole, no matter whether it's a story, a plot, a line, or a picture detail, there's nothing to be picked on. It's the only story that makes people play with a mist.

This feeling is like going to a banquet, good wine and good food came on the ground together, and I just ate the first bite, and the table was lifted.

“Is there something about the rich version hidden in the poor version? ”

Ho An had to come up with this idea.

Though the poor version of the introduction is enough to discourage, Ho An still has some luck.

What if there's something special?

He thinks about it for a moment, or he clicks on the poor version and starts playing.

Like the rich version, the poor version begins with an inner monologue.

……

“I thank my father very much. ”

“Had it not been for him, I would probably have attended Polkin Elementary School, one of the worst public elementary schools in the country, where half of the graduates would have gone to a secondary school called 'Sewage Pool', where more than 40 per cent of students could not graduate, hence also known as' Dropout Factory ’. ”

“There are 2,000 such ‘school drop-out factories' nationwide, which continuously feed leisurely young people to society. ”

“In our state, where 68 per cent of offenders are high school dropouts, the state government has a ridiculous end to prison and student funding, spending money on one inmate every four years, enough for one child to finish K12 in a private school from kindergarten and 20,000 knives left to go to college. ”

“Seventy thousand people are homeless in the country's largest cities, and countless beggars, persons with disabilities, alcoholics and ex-convicts are encountered every day on the streets and at the subway stations. ”

“Thirty-six per cent of them are children, and the remaining 64 per cent are mostly single mothers and single men without children. ”

“In this country, the first thing you need is a fortune to keep your life going in a cheap way. ”

“If you get to the point where you need relief, you can't find a job, you can't rent a house without a job, you can't do anything without a house. Being homeless means social death, and even if you're healthy, you can't go back to your old life and live on the streets all your life. ”

“I'm sensitive to these numbers, and I don't know if it's a gift or a survival instinct. ”

“Perhaps the life of the poor is a series of numbers. ”

“Many poor people complain about their parents. ”

“But anyway, I'm grateful to my father. ”

“He didn't make me one of these people. ”

“My father always told me that I wanted to learn from the good people, to change the minds of the poor, to fight hard, not to follow the waves. ”

“Struggling will change your life. ”

“I have no doubt about that. ”

Unlike the beginning of the rich version, the poor version does not begin with a specific event, but with many fragmented scenes that depict in an abstract way those images in the protagonist's narrative.

Immediately thereafter, the main character's childhood memories.

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

“Until I went to kindergarten, this status quo remained unchanged, as kindergartens leave school at 1 p.m., leaving children alone at home would violate child protection laws. ”

“Therefore, if my mother's post-tax wage cannot go to kindergarten or remedial classes to meet the child protection laws, it would be more economical not to go to work. ”

“My father works more than a dozen hours a day, and I rarely see him. But his dedication made sense, and he took me away from Polkin Elementary School to a better school district. ”

“We are lucky to live in a cheap house because you can only stay in the 20% -25% income range, you have to be richer than 75% and also richer than the lowest 20%, which is a very tough number. ”

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

Along with the characters' narratives, a scene flashed through the scene.

In the low-rent house, the main character's mother took care of the baby by herself, busy scorching her head and messed up the whole room.

The leading public school is also different from the wealthy version of the private school, but even more surprising is after-school recreation.

In the rich version, the player's recreational activities are horseback riding, archery shooting, learning music and painting, while in the poor version, the player's recreational activities are running, jumping, cycling or playing soccer and baseball in the yard.

Though these little games are also very fine, they become odorless compared to the rich version.

He Ann wanted the protagonist to learn some amateur hobbies instead of running wild in the yard every day, but soon found himself straining his money.

Ask the teacher to teach the cello at the price of 75 knives per hour;

Parents take their children to swimming classes with 20 knives every 30 minutes, or 200 knives per hour for a more professional course.

Gymnastics class takes 30 minutes, 5 to 10 children together, the opening teacher leads the warm-up for 2 minutes, the rest of the time parents play prop equipment with their children, 20 knives per class.

Even these low quality, inexpensive courses require booking more than 2 months in advance.

For Ho An, the most pronounced feeling compared to the rich version is boredom.

Because of the lack of money, there are only a few options to choose from, whether you're running around the yard or riding a bike, that clearly make you realize that you're in a wasted time.

Likewise, the roles of the poor are very sketchy, obesity is a serious problem, and it fits the stereotype perfectly.

Childhood is followed by youth, with the protagonists studying hard to enter high school and lending to college. By high school, activities had changed, choirs and orchestras were available, and debates were available.

While the protagonists of the poor and the wealthy are working almost as hard, there are significant gaps in the resources available.

The ability to go to college determines the content of the game for the next work phase.

If professional skills are not acquired, they can only be employed as restaurant waiters, cleaners, elderly caregivers or supermarket managers, and even working seven days a week and two jobs will remain bankrupt;

The colleague sprained unexpectedly while cleaning, did not dare to call an ambulance, did not even dare to go home to rest, could only kneel on one foot to continue cleaning, because she could not lose a day's salary, and the team leader simply asked her to “calm down and survive by work”.

Jobs in low-end services can only be found in large cities, but rents in large cities have been raised to almost unaffordable levels by the wealthy, unable to pay for cheaper monthly apartment deposits, and can only go to expensive capsule hotels, where the poorer you live, the more you risk bankruptcy or even sleeping on the streets if you get sick or enter the peak season.

If you find a job through your own hard work and earn about 4,000 knives a month, the situation will be slightly better, but all kinds of spending will still be overwhelming, with fixed monthly spending accounting for 80 per cent of all income, taxes and insurance 25 per cent, rent 29 per cent, children's education 26 per cent, cars 5 per cent, utilities 5 per cent, clothing and clothing 10 per cent, excluding health care.

Basically, 400 knives are difficult to leave each month, and any accident that occurs remains bankrupt and homeless.

Life would be relatively spacious if a relatively high-paying job with all the choices was made, but the related expenses would also increase linearly, with some costs that would not otherwise have to be spent becoming mandatory.

And this is also the most extraordinary thing that makes Ho An feel like he can save a lot of money, but a lot of expenses are still forcibly deducted from the game, such as:

Purchase luxury suits and bags for decent work;

Took 2,000 knives to take the child to sea park for three days on his birthday;

Social costs, including living communities, extra-curricular learning for children, etc. are also a significant sum of money;

In order to save money, I am accustomed to using credit card instalments, so that the number of credit cards is so high that I have no idea where the money was spent...

These options all seem inevitable, such as buying luxury suits and bags, which the protagonist would not have liked to buy, but which are used by all colleagues in the company, without which it would be difficult to fit into their circles.

So the protagonist ended up buying these things after biting his teeth.

By the time he got here, He Ann seemed to understand what the protagonist had initially said.

The life of the poor is a series of numbers, and that number is all kinds of expenses.

Ultimately, however, that number collapsed.

As the main character's consumption levels grew higher and sudden unemployment destroyed everything, the whole chain collapsed rapidly: loss of income, lack of credit cards, banks to take away houses, card debt and interest accumulated...

So the main character's environment returned to what it was like when he was his father.

In a scene, the protagonist's voice sounds again.

“My father always told me that I wanted to learn from the good people, to change the minds of the poor, to fight hard, not to follow the waves. ”

“Struggling will change your life. ”

“I tried, but everything seemed to be back the way it was and nothing had changed. ”

“Is my struggle meaningless? I don't think so. At least I'm not part of the homeless. ”

“I often wonder:”

“If I hadn't lost my job...”

“If I save some more...”

“If I could spend less...”

“If… I can make more choices, can I change my destiny? ”

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

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

And just then, the child woke up and his soft little hand rubbed his eyes and said, "Dad, why do you come home so late every day and never have time to be with me? ”

He was silent for a while and touched the child's forehead: "Because Mom doesn't have a job, Dad has to work hard to make money. ”

And the child said, "When will Dad be with me? ”

“Wait for Dad to make enough money," he said. ”

The child's eyes were shining: "Dad, when I grow up and make enough money, you can stay with me every day, right? ”

“So, Dad, how can I make enough money? ”

The protagonist remained silent for a long time, then said: "Money does not come down from the sky. Life is only possible if it is not satisfied with the status quo. ”

“To learn from the good, to change the minds of the poor, to struggle, not to follow the waves. ”

“Strive hard to change your life. ”

The child's eyes glistened in the moonlight and nodded heavily.

At the end of the game, a list of producers appears on the screen.

This ending scene is a young man burying his head to read, while another younger narrative that differs from the protagonist's voice sounds.

“My father always told me that I wanted to learn from the good people, to change the minds of the poor, to fight hard, not to follow the waves. ”

“Struggling will change your life. ”

“I have no doubt about that. ”
