Chapter 64 Section 3 Money is as strange as human nature

"It's not because of money, but because of routine." Dai Zong's words can be called classics.The popular men and dolls who want to be in the world often sink into the game of chasing money because of some inexplicable routines.On Song Jiang's list of "Top Ten Women Who Need to Be Beaten", the gold-worshiping woman is ranked fourth.In fact, Song Jiang himself is not a gold worshiper?In the whole world, how many people do not worship the God of Wealth? "It's not because of money, but because of routine. But the so-called routine is because of money after all." Song Jiang's views are obviously much deeper than Dai Zong's.

Dai Zong froze for a moment, staring at Song Jiang in a daze. "Money is a thing created by people, but it is as strange as human nature." Song Jiang said to Dai Zong, "Although you and I met for the first time, we are good brothers at first sight. Let me talk about the strangeness of money. ?” Dai Zong nodded.Song Jiang pointed his fingers and first talked about the many benefits of money. The first benefit of money is the sense of security it brings us.In the animal world, no matter the ferocious tiger or the high-flying geese, they live a life of hunger and fullness, because their food is difficult to store for a long time.Human beings can sell the harvested food and exchange it for money to prepare for tomorrow's danger.In this way, human life can be more secure than that of animals.The more money a person accumulates, the more secure he feels.The reason why young and beautiful women are willing to marry a dying rich man is also because of the sense of security that his money means.The reason why some people are keen on being an official is because they can control the power to distribute wealth.

The second benefit of money is the sense of glory it brings us.In ancient times, the warrior who got the most prey was always the most respected by people.Now, some people like to show off their wealth, just like those warriors in ancient times showed off their prey.The reason why an entrepreneur who has struggled abroad for many years wants to return to his hometown is also because he can wash away the shame he suffered because of poverty in the past in front of his father and fellow villagers.This is a commercial society, and every dollar of money is like a medal, proving the great achievements of the strugglers.

The third advantage of money is that it can provide us with a more leisurely and elegant life.We often say: "Workers are glorious." But in fact, many people have the habit of liking leisure and loathing work.There is a poem that goes: "The red sun is scorching like fire, and the rice in the wild fields is half scorched. The heart of the farmer is like boiling soup, and the son and grandson shake their fans." Why is the heart of the farmer boiling like soup?What you do is nothing more than harvesting ears!The leisurely and elegant life of princes and grandchildren is undoubtedly envied and hated by farmers.

A fourth benefit of money is that we can use it to help others.Throughout the ages, doing good deeds has been a respected virtue, but only if you have money.The reason why Song Jiang has become a well-known "timely rain" in the world is firstly because he is rich, and secondly because of his ignorance of money and righteousness. The fifth advantage of money is that we can use it to dictate to others.For all the talk about justice, liberty, and equality in politics, the truth is that deep down in everyone's heart, everyone wants to be in charge.Money can give us a sense of command and power over others—with money, we can be the boss and have others exchange their labor for wages.Of course, sometimes we need to add some necessary respect and courtesy to it.

The sixth advantage of money is that we can use it to transform our image.There are always some people who feel that they are not good enough, so they want to change themselves.Just as ugly Cinderella turned into a beautiful princess, everyone loves a nice new dress.Enough money can allow us to dress ourselves up more and more perfectly, making ourselves more beautiful, more elegant, and more temperamental, so that we can maintain and refresh the impression the world has on us.As for doing charity, it is also a way to transform one's own image. The seventh benefit of money is to win the favor of beautiful women.The snail girl is just the fantasy of the poor, and a romantic love life often needs money to create.A woman in love likes to see the other party spend money for herself. She is not necessarily greedy for money, but if a man knows how to respect her and is willing to spend money for her, it will undoubtedly move her.Sprinkling cash for a woman you love is an effective form of flirting, like a peacock showing off his colorful plumage.

The eighth advantage of money is its Matthew effect.Just like an old Chinese saying: "A lot of money is good at business, and a good man with long sleeves is good at dancing." The more resources you have, the more you will be able to integrate more and necessary resources with ease, and thus the more capable you will be to succeed.In commercial activities, large companies are often able to reduce costs through large-scale production and sales, and often have the strength to meet new consumer needs through technology research and development, and gain an advantage in the competition.However, due to the coldness of the world, there are many icing on the cake and few people giving charcoal in the snow, thus forming a polarization phenomenon in which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

The ninth advantage of money is that it can give you a magical power.Without money, you can only be a wage earner.With money, you can let others be wage earners.The more money you have, the greater your ability to dominate the society.Interestingly, the reason why the poor love to gamble is actually to get more money, so that they have the ability to change their own destiny.People always fantasize about having more money and living a better life as they please. "I admit that money has all kinds of fascinating advantages. But," Dai Zong was very puzzled, "why do people think it is a fault to be greedy for money and lustful?"

Song Jiang sneered and said: "If being greedy for money and lust is a fault, then I would like to add more mistakes to the mistakes. Men are not greedy for money, and they are in vain. Men are not lustful, and their lives are as black as ink. Only those who are greedy for money and lust can write a colorful life. chapter, understand?" This is the first time Dai Zong heard such an astonishing theory, how could he understand it? But Song Jiang lamented that money is indeed a weird thing, it can make you prosperous, and it can also make you corrupt.He believes that how to be greedy for money and how to be lustful are actually two profound knowledges. If you understand the knowledge of greedy for money, you can become a great entrepreneur like Tao Zhugong; if you understand the knowledge of lust, you can become a great writer like Sima Xiangru. Home.If it is a fault to be greedy for money and lust, then it must be that you do not know how to learn.

Finally, based on his unforgettable experience and experience, he made the following conclusions: ①We must learn to manage money and not be addicted to it; ②We must learn to manage women and not be addicted to them; ③Once we are addicted to it , they will corrupt our lives like drugs. A very philosophical exposition made Dai Zong, the "Shenxing Taibao", his eyes brighten and his mind fly away.In fact, he was addicted once again.But this time, he was not obsessed with money or beauty, but with Song Jiang's wisdom. The two were talking about the place where they were in love with each other, and they had only had two or three glasses of wine when they heard the noise downstairs.Dai Zong felt agitated and called the waiter for questioning.The waiter said: "It's the big brother Tie Niu that you often bring. He is asking the boss to borrow money. The boss has borrowed money from him twice before, but this time he will never again. The two sides are tearing up." Dai Zong said angrily : "This black man is very rude, you go and call him up!"

Not long after, the waiter ushered a big black man upstairs.Song Jiang was surprised when he saw it, and asked, "Who is this brother?" Dai Zong replied, "This is one of my brothers, who is called 'Black Whirlwind' Li Kui by people in the Jianghu. He is a prison guard." Song Jiang said: "I think this brother is quite heroic, why is he reduced to borrowing money to live?" Dai Zong said: "Why is he borrowing money to live? It is also for gambling." Both of them looked at Li Kui and felt embarrassed. Song Jiang asked again: "How much do you want to borrow?" Li Kui did not speak.Song Jiang took out ten taels of silver from his side, put it in Li Kui's hands, and said, "This is the gambling capital I gave you. If you win, you will return the capital to me. If you lose, it will be considered as a gift from me to my brother. "Li Kui was stunned for a long while before he put the money into his bosom, and replied in a low voice, "Thank you brother for your kindness, Tieniu will go and win a prize for my brother to see." Then he resolutely opened the door curtain and strode downstairs. Not to mention that Song Jiang and Dai Zong continued to drink.Then Li Kui got the silver, and walked all the way, thinking all the way: "It's rare that brother Song Jiang, who has never had a close relationship with me, is so enthusiastic and gave me the capital of ten taels of silver. No wonder he is called 'Timely Rain', and his reputation is well-deserved. There is such a good man in the world, I, Tieniu, must repay him well in the future." Who knew that when he went to the casino, he didn't win even one, but he lost both.He felt ashamed because of this, and every time he saw Song Jiang, he just lowered his head. Song Jiang has his own plans.Although it cost a little money, it won the hearts of the two brothers Dai Zong and Li Kui.From then on, although Song Jiang was a prisoner in Jiangzhou Prison City, he could come and go freely, just like his own apartment.He is also easy to make friends, but within two months, he met Li Jun, the "Dragon of the River", Li Li, the "Judge for Destiny", Tong Wei, the Jiao from the Cave, Tong Meng, the "Fanjiang Mirage", and "Chuanhuoer". "Zhang Heng, "White Jumping in the Waves" Zhang Shun, "Big Sick" Xue Yong, "No Blocking" Mu Hong, "Little Blocking" Mu Chun and many other heroes in the world.
