There is a famous drama artist in Shanghai, "Qilin Tong" Zhou Xinfang, who joined the Xilian Cheng Society in his early years and shared the stage with Mei Lanfang, Lin Shusen and Gao Baisheng. In 1909, Zhou Xinfang toured Russia and was probably one of the first Peking Opera performers to perform abroad. Years later, his children recalled in interviews that their parents, especially their mother, Pei Lilin, a wealthy Woman from Shanghai, insisted on doing one thing when they were young, that is, to spare no effort to send five of their six children abroad before the 1950s and 1960s.
Time proved her paranoid vision right, and the seemingly irresponsible decision to throw underage children overseas at the time saved them—in February 1968, this mixed-race beauty, once the chief charity lady on the beach, the third lady of the Tanqiu Tianbao Silver Building. Severely beaten to the point of serious injury by the rebels, and not allowed to be treated, uremia attacked, and died in loneliness.
Like her love-hate and straightforward personality, she left her children with only some simple common sense, and her daughter Zhou Zeitz recalled her mother's teaching in an interview: Buy something, either pick the cheapest one, or pick the best. Those in the middle are not worth buying, and carrying them on the body is a burden. In addition, when you are the poorest, try not to be with the poor, everyone is so poor, who will help you?
Such remarks, even today, are likely to be attacked by the masses, especially the so-called poor who think they have been offended. In fact, it may be understood as the meaning of "rich people help the world, poor people are alone", when you are in difficulty, try to find your own way to solve, do not seek the same is the meaning of difficult people to help you.
Because of many things, people have prejudices and dare not face their true intentions, so there is such a deviation from knowledge. The concept of shame is too strong, kidnapping real needs, many people think that it is best to think secretly if they like to want money, work hard silently, and talk openly is indecent - just like the concept of sex, the concept of not watching pornography, and so on. This has led to a general lack of common sense of our financial management and sexual common sense, and few parents warn their children to try to leave the state of poverty and the environment. Make more money, and when you see your favorite small fresh meat, don't be soft but rush up and pounce quickly! Very little, right? They will tell us to listen to the adults, don't be naughty...
When I was in middle school, my family moved, my father's unit moved, and we moved from a small town to an urban area. There are two options for the new family's residence, one is a large house allocated by the unit that is inexpensive and easy to get to from our school and his work. The other is a neighborhood that needs to spend more money and is farther away from work. My father did not hesitate to choose the latter, I was very puzzled, after moving in, I asked him specifically, he only replied to me lightly: This is a rich area, your neighbors are all well-off children. I let you live here, and your classmates and playmates will be these people in the future.
I understood in seconds that it took so much effort for me and my little friends. Father later added: Just know it yourself, don't like it. Later, I did have a lot of rich children's friends, it turned out that the feeling was still quite good, there were piano playing super good, there were classmates who had extracurricular books at home like the library, and there were also friends who could play the most expensive and latest games for the first time.
Money seems to have a completely different double meaning in sensibility and rationality, you see even in the corrupt capitalist country of the United States, Hollywood movies represented by fictional responsible sensibility, propaganda of universal values - the treatment of rich people is the same as the Jewish merchants written by Saxbia hundreds of years ago, always be the object of meanness, you see netizens can not move to criticize the strength of the rich, as if to always ridicule and despise them in order to preserve their souls. But in the rational layer, business schools are very popular, the number of clicks on the blogs of people who write investment consulting far exceeds other categories, and all kinds of training are strange and chaotic, and everyone is eager to compete. The significance of life as a result of escaping poverty is self-evident.
So I slowly entered a state of fine points - people like me who have transformed from romantic literary and artistic young people to start a business define money in this way: with friends who do not pursue material wealth, splitting emotions, discussing literature and talking about art or even drinking tea and pretending to be forced, you may as well pretend that money is not important and talk about feelings! Revel in each other! After the wine wakes up and leaves, I go home separately, and I will let myself forget this emotion. Back to the company, to participate in the gathering of the same entrepreneurial youth, everyone knows in their hearts, less nonsense, more dry goods, pay attention to cash flow and returns. Increase the energy of wealth, improve life with less, and push the earth around like Iron Man.
Once, when I participated in "Financial Eyes", my friend and I went with me privately asked Mr. Lang Xianping, what is the audience's favorite? His answer was as understated as follows: "Tell the public the meaning of wealth in plain language as much as possible." "It's really clear enough to say this - open your tentacles, if you accidentally enter the environment of collective hatred of the rich, also stay sober, they are just jealous, after all, no one hates money." 」
