Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

“It's understandable. ”

“Because" A Good Tomorrow "is a movie," Struggle "is a game in which President Pei paints the details in detail, and every audience and player sees, to a greater or lesser extent, gets similar information. ”

“In real life, however, each person faces a different situation, and the information that each person receives from ‘reality' is very different. ”

“Some have changed their destiny through their own struggles, while others have not; some have seen the warm side of the world, while others have seen the cold side of the world. ”

“So their view of the real world is naturally different. ”

“And I would like to emphasize that in the real world, Pei has actually expressed his views, although most people are unaware of them. ”

“Why? Look at my title: Silent Expressor. ”

“This expression, which is a silent expression, will not be made explicit, but will depend on your own understanding. ”

“Okay, now please click on the second link in the video introduction to read what President Pei said in his alma mater speech to the needy students. ”

“Three, two, one. ”

“Okay, I'm sure 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 the best use of their wealth. ”

“But instead of emphasizing ‘thrift’, President Pei is emphasizing ‘attention’. ”

“Actually, this is Bae's own outlook on wealth. Although he did not agree with consumerism, he did not believe that 'doom' was a good idea. ”

“When faced with the problem of wealth perception, many people tend to go to two completely opposite extremes:”

“One believes that it is good to have fun in a timely fashion, spending money as soon as you get it, and even spending ahead with credit cards to buy things that are completely beyond your means;”

“Another person thinks that saving money is good, trying to do everything possible to grasp every inch of flyhead, knowing that there is money, but living like a beggar, misses many opportunities. ”

“Obviously, both extremist ideas are wrong. ”

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

“As long as we use our attention well, we can naturally earn more money; on the contrary, if we waste our attention because we care too much about the small profits of flies, it is because of the small losses. ”

“Then perhaps someone will ask, what does this speech have to do with this issue of the video, and this game of Struggle? ”

“Of course it does. ”

“The content of this speech, together with all of Bae's industries, is actually supplementing what is not in the Struggle, is telling us, in real life, what is the ‘struggle’? ”

“In the face of the ‘struggle' problem, many people will similarly go to two opposite extremes. ”

“One believes that struggle is pointless, and that struggle cannot change anything. Better yet, there is alcohol in this morning and drunkenness in this morning. Tomorrow's events will be discussed tomorrow.”

“Yet another believes that if you struggle so hard, you will live the life you want, and never ask yourself if the way you struggle is right. ”

“Both ideas are obviously wrong, too. ”

“Before answering this question, I would like to add that one of the root causes of the tragedy of the poor in the game" Struggle "is‘ Consumerism ’and‘ IQ Tax '. The poor try to climb to a false middle class position, but are harvested by consumerism to earn their hard-earned wealth and eventually fall back into the cycle of poverty. ”

“In the game of Struggle, consumerism has taken control of society as a whole, so the poor in the game have no choice; but in real life, consumerism has not yet become the consensus of society as a whole, so we can resist consumerism without being harvested and complete the initial accumulation of wealth. ”

“There are also many people who have doubts about this, because Old Man He An has not begun to say what consumerism really is. ”

“By general definition, consumerism is the majority of the behaviour of the majority of society, the pursuit of decent consumption, the desire for uncontrolled material enjoyment and enjoyment, and the perception of these as the ends of life and the values of life. ”

“But I believe that everyone has their own views on the concepts of 'consumerism’ and ‘IQT'. ”

“Many times we find that the concepts of ‘consumerism’ and ‘IQT’ seem to vary from person to person. ”

“A very simple example: two packets of paper towels, one for five dollars and the other for twenty dollars. Twenty bucks for a paper towel, isn't it IQT? ”

“A lot of people think so. Since it's all paper towels, if you put a card on it, it's four times more expensive. Isn't that an insult to IQ? ”

“What if I told you that the latter is softer, finer, more sophisticated and will give you a better experience than the former? Do you still think it's an IQ tax? ”

“Similarly, for an average person, tens of thousands of dollar name tag bags may be IQ taxes, but for a billionaire, tens of thousands of dollar name tag bags are IQ taxes? ”

“I think a lot of people haven't thought about this in depth. ”

“So there are those who are deeply averse to consumerism, but there are those who feel that this is nothing, that they can buy as long as their wealth supports them in buying famous shoes, famous brand bags. ”

“Here, I don't rate right or wrong, just speculate on President Pei's views on this point. ”

“The reason why many people dislike Struggle is because it only raises questions, but it just shouts slogans and does not propose solutions. ”

“In this regard, I would like to say that the gap between rich and poor is an enduring challenge for human society, and so far there is no absolutely correct solution, and it is impossible and unrealistic to expect someone to give an answer to the satisfaction of all. ”

“Everyone should think independently and give their own answers to this question. ”

“But President Pei did give an actionable answer, but you just didn't realize it. ”

“Returning to the vision of wealth expressed by President Pei in his speech before, man's most precious asset should be attention. And how do you use the money in your hand correctly? ”

“It should be used to distract yourself. ”

“And President Bae did. ”

“Through President Li's interpretation in the interview section, and that photograph of President Pei, you should understand that Pei is always a person who spends all his time thinking. He has indeed been doing this: even a billionaire's attention is most valuable. ”

“And what about President Pei's daily life? We see that he lives in a lazy apartment, eats fish takeaways, but also wears a famous suit, wears expensive watches, although the value of the suit and watches is limited, which is much worse than his price. ”

“At this time, some may feel that President Pei's remarks are contradictory:”

“Emphasize to use your attention while developing games to distract players;”

“Emphasis is placed on resisting consumerism while wearing designer suits and high-end watches. ”

“But if you think about it, is this a contradiction? With that in mind, there's an answer. ”

……

Seeing this place, He An couldn't help but stand still.

He didn't expect Joe Lao Wei to bring the subject here!

In Ho An's view, boycotting consumerism is certainly right, but who can be 100% unaffected by consumerism?

Like Ho An himself, he made money, he had to buy a big villa, he had to buy a luxury car. Technically, this is also consumerism.

If we resist consumerism altogether, Ho An should take the money he earns to run the company, create greater value, or be charitable and help more people.

But he obviously did not do so, leaving a large sum of money for personal enjoyment.

Therefore, He An, in Changweibo, did not fully address the issue of “consumerism”.

He subconsciously felt that so-called consumerism actually depended on your income level.

If it is a poor person who pays $3,000 a month to buy a sports car, it is brainwashed by consumerism; but if it is a billionaire, if he wants to buy a luxury car, he will buy it, and it will have no impact on his life.

But He Ann herself is well aware that this statement is a bit contradictory and cannot be reconciled.

If the conclusion was that "you can't buy a name tag bag when you don't have the money, you can buy it when you have the money”, it seemed very unconvincing and would also make people feel that it discriminates against the poor, as if this kind of thing is not worth buying.

Instead, it fell into the trap of consumerism.

So, what Qiao Lao Wei is saying right now, is actually very dangerous, and it has to be argued with caution that if you accidentally turn the car over.

Now that you've clarified the fact that President Pei also wears a famous suit and a famous watch, how do you convince others to reject these things?

With some anxiety, He Ann continued to look down.

……

“Obviously, this is not contradictory. ”

“I have been stressing before that we should not get caught up in one another's mindset. ”

“We do need to capitalize on our attention, but can humans guarantee that they control all their attention at all times? ”

“Of course not. ”

“So we emphasize that we have eight hours to work, that within eight hours we work and learn, and that beyond eight hours we also need to rest and relax. ”

“That is to combine work and leisure. ”

“The game actually helps us rest and relax. Whether it's a great game or an artistic game; whether it's a laughable game or a thought-provoking game, it makes sense to us. ”
