If you seek wealth, it is better to seek satisfaction, and satisfaction is the best wealth.

In this café called "Tranquility", Li Qiang sat quietly in front of me.
His face is pale, he has been working on the case for many years, and his back is slightly awkward; Underneath the thick lenses was a pair of cloudy eyes, and the mottled white hair made him look much older than he actually was.
It is hard to imagine that this is a high-ranking intellectual who has read a doctorate in his mid-forties.
Li Qiang, from rural Sichuan, has excellent academic performance since childhood, and is determined to jump out of the farm and take root in first-tier cities. After finishing the undergraduate, I went on to study for a master's degree and a doctoral student.
The price was that his younger siblings dropped out of junior high school to work, and the whole family worked together to provide him with education.
During his time in school, Li Qiang did not fall in love, and his mind was focused on learning. His efforts were also rewarded, and before he graduated, he was admitted to a multinational company in Shanghai with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan.
At a networking meeting before graduation, Li Qiang met Ye Qing, a young sister of the same department, who is a native of Shanghai and is about to graduate with a master's degree.
Ye Qing is tall and beautiful, generous in personality, and has a clear plan for his future, which makes the two coincide and quickly fall in love.
In Ye Qing's view, although Li Qiang was born in the countryside, he is self-motivated and hard-working, which is the ideal potential stock in his mind.
This relationship was opposed by Ye Qian's mother.
Ye Qing's mother is a professor in a large hospital, has always been strong and domineering, when he was young, because his father hated Ye Qing was cowardly and did not think of progress, he divorced in anger, and vowed to cultivate Ye Qing into a material and marry into a rich family.
Mother's motto is: Only if you are good enough, you will meet a better man.
Although she does not agree with her mother's point of view, Ye Qing also firmly believes that marriage needs a solid material foundation, otherwise life and feelings will be affected, and only men who will make money can bring happiness to their families.
Unlike her mother, she values potential stocks with room for appreciation.
When we first met, my mother had a cold attitude, ignored Li Qiang, and privately warned Ye Qing: I have seen a lot of men like him, and I have read a doctorate just to take shortcuts, and I don't know how to go out of society.
In the face of her mother's rebuke, Ye Qing was very aggrieved. She believed in her own vision, and repeatedly encouraged Li Qiang, asking him to work hard and make some achievements to show his mother, proving that she had not chosen the wrong object.
Li Qiang knew that his mother-in-law did not want to see him, and vowed to buy a house and settle down in Shanghai with his own efforts.

After working for two years, Li Qiang was promoted, and his annual salary rose to 400,000, and the two considered making up money to pay a down payment to buy a small house and get a license to get married.
Although she did not want to see Li Qiang, the mother-in-law was distressed about her daughter and helped them to make up enough money for the down payment.
The house is there, the marriage is also married, in order to repay Ye Qing's dedication to himself, Li Qiang came up with the idea of starting his own business.
Ye Qing expressed firm support. She had previously persuaded Li Qiang to resign and start a business, but Li Qiang refused on the grounds that the time was not ripe, and now that he had opened his own tricks, Ye Qing naturally couldn't ask for it.
After more than half a year of preparation, the consulting company partnered by Li Qiang and his friends was officially opened.
Due to a lot of market research in the early stage, coupled with the care of classmates and friends, Li Qiang's entrepreneurship was surprisingly smooth, and his personal income reached 1 million yuan after a year.
The mother moderately expressed satisfaction, changed from the cold disdain of the past, and began to smile at her son-in-law.
Her mother was satisfied, but Ye Qing herself was not happy.
At the end of the year's class reunion, Ye Qing took Li Qiang to participate. When he was in school, Ye Qing was a famous class flower, and the ugly ducklings of the past were now driving luxury cars and wearing famous brands, just like the rich wives of high society.
Their husbands, some do transnational business, some are real estate tycoons, some are Internet upstarts, each worth more than 100 million. Compared with this, Li Qiang's income of more than one hundred thousand yuan is simply difficult to say.
Ye felt a huge loss, and his face was ugly.
Back at home, Ye Qing began to quarrel: I am so beautiful, I could have married into the rich, but I chose you wholeheartedly, if you don't work hard again, are you worthy of me?
Li Qiang understood his wife and comforted her wholeheartedly: What do you care about others? Isn't it the greatest happiness that we love each other? Didn't you also say that rich people are unreliable?
Ye Qing did not pay any attention at all, and after some thought, he decisively ordered: After the end of the year, I will start to assess you, next year must earn 2 million, the next year 4 million, when to reach 10 million, when to end the assessment.
Li Qiang did not think so, thinking that Ye Qing was hot-headed for a while.
Unexpectedly, just after the end of the year, Ye Qing took out a three-year plan. The schedule is densely packed with annual, monthly, and even weekly work plans and assessment criteria.
Since then, before 9 p.m., Li Qiang is not allowed to go home, and must work overtime in the company to contact customers, and Ye Qing is responsible for delivering meals on time.
Back at home, Li Qiang must explain what he did today, what customers he contacted, and what the preliminary intention results were, Ye Qing listened while analyzing the records.
Whether it is a weekend or a holiday, Li Qiang is not allowed to play games, is not allowed to watch ball games, and even routine couple walks have been canceled, and the task Ye Qing assigned to him is to read and recharge, all of which are well-known success theories.
After a month, Li Qiang's heart was exhausted, and he simply went to hide in the field for a week in the name of business travel.

Ye Qing's circle of friends are all local sisters in Shanghai, pampered and pampered from an early age, comparing with each other, and she naturally does not want to lose to others. I don't know when she began to believe that men need pressure and domestication, and if they let it go, they will be ruined.
For Li Qiang's assessment, she did not dare to relax at all, no matter how busy she was, she would interrogate the end.
When Li Qiang achieved results, she was enthusiastic and did everything in her power to make him happy;
When Li Qiang stopped moving, she was as cold as frost, and she wouldn't let him touch herself.
Li Qiang is full of helplessness: doing business is not like going to work to get a fixed salary, there is always a time in the off-season and peak season. Moreover, the company is just starting out, and I am only one of the partners, and the income situation is not to say that doubling can be doubled.
Ye Qing ignored so much, in her opinion, Shanghai is full of opportunities, others can easily earn tens of millions, why can't you? Are you a great doctor, not as good as those who did not graduate from elementary school?
Li Qiang was speechless.
In a trance, he realized that Ye Qing was no longer the Ye Qing he had known, and she had become vulgar, exaggerated, incomprehensible, and even unscrupulous.
Despite the differences, life goes on.
Seeing that the time of the year is more than halfway through, Ye Qing is more and more anxious, and repeatedly urges Li Qiang: the goal of 2 million yuan cannot be reached, and we will separate!
Li Qiang was driven crazy. He loves his wife and is willing to do his best to make her happy, but it should not be this ending.
In order to quickly make a lot of money, Li Qiang contacted Chen Man, a classmate from college. Some classmates rumored that after Chen Man graduated, he poured out the red wine business in Europe, and the mixture was flourishing.
Chen Man had enthusiastically pursued Li Qiang when he was in college, but he refused. Now That Li Qiang has asked for his own, he is naturally full of promises and promises to take him to invest in red wine.
Concealing Ye Qing, Li Qiang borrowed 500,000 yuan from his partners, and then engaged in 500,000 private loans through personal relations, of course, the interest rate was frighteningly high. After making up 1 million yuan, Li Qiang began to invest in red wine.
Three months later, he earned $500,000. Ye Qing was happy to be broken, and if she went on like this, she could easily earn 2 million this year, and she was more convinced that the direction of her spur and pressure was going right.
Ye Qing urged Li Qiang to continue to invest, and even borrowed 1.5 million from his mother, a total of 2 million yuan to Li Qiang to invest.
Li Qiang hesitated.
He secretly borrowed the principal of 1 million yuan, including 500,000 usurious loans, at least the money of the usury should be repaid first.
However, Ye Qing's enthusiasm in bed that night made him want to stop, and he had never felt his wife loving him so strongly.
So, he gritted his teeth and threw all 3 million into it.
However, after a month, two months, and three months passed, Chen Man never heard from him. Every time I called her, I either said that I was in the United States or that there was something wrong with the wine business.
In the end, Chen Man's phone could no longer be called.
End
Classmates who returned from France told Li Qiang that Chen Man was a liar, illegally raising funds in the name of red wine investment, cheating many relatives and friends in China, and had already evaporated in the world.
The last glimmer of hope was shattered, and Li Qiang wanted to cry without tears.
When Ye Qing learned that all the 2 million investments had been adrift, and Li Qiang had borrowed usury, he fainted on the spot.
After waking up, Ye Qing's eyes were sluggish, sometimes without words, sometimes making a big fuss, inexplicably throwing a tantrum at Li Qiang and smashing things. After the doctor's diagnosis, she suffered from manic depression because she could not stop undergoing great stimulation.
The mother-in-law also fell ill because of this.
Li Qiang had to take care of two women while making money to pay off debts, and he had two sideburns at a young age.
As for his hometown in the countryside, he has not returned for many years.
Wealth freedom is one of the more popular concepts at present.
"The king of a thousand multiplications, the king of all houses, the king of a hundred rooms, still suffering from poverty, and the people of the households?"
While pursuing wealth freedom, not many people seriously think about whether wealth is important or freedom is important.
Everyone's origins are different, their circumstances are different, and their opportunities are different.
Without accumulating steps, it is impossible to go thousands of miles, and it is impossible to become a river and a sea without accumulating small streams. The wealth of billionaires is not gathered in a day or two, time, opportunity, and luck are indispensable.
Not everyone's money you can make, and not all people can make big money.
At least in my opinion, the water is silent, go with the flow, how much ability to make how much money.
The heart is higher than the sky, often harming others and mistaking themselves, and doing and cherishing! #情感 #
Light tea and light wine, read the world, taste life and everything.
The rest of life is long, trying to be a fun soul.
I am Mr. Twenty-Eight, taking you through the fog of emotion and reading human nature!
