Chapter 29 The sea does not necessarily live with tuna

Everyone has heard the stories of Mexicans and wealthy American businessmen. The rich businessman went to a small fishing village in Mexico and met the Mexicans who had caught several large yellowfin tuna. "Awesome! It must not be easy to catch these big fish." The rich businessman praised him. "It's not difficult at all, it's just a matter of a while." The Mexican said. "You should stay in the sea longer." Seeing the Mexican looking at him puzzled, the rich businessman explained: "If you spend more time catching fish every day, you can earn money to buy a big boat. The bigger the boat, the more fish you catch. Then you can buy a boat and organize a fleet; then, you don’t have to sell the fish to the fishmonger, but directly to the factory; no matter how much money you have, you can open a canning factory and control production and marketing. At this time, you can Move to Mexico City, move to Los Angeles; finally, live in New York and run your expanding business there."

"How long will this take?" the Mexican asked. "Fifteen to twenty years." The wealthy businessman replied. "And then?" "When the time comes, you can go public and sell the shares to investors. At that time, you can make hundreds of millions of dollars." "And then?" The Mexican is a cowhide lantern. "Then, you can retire, you can move to live in a small fishing village by the sea, sleep until you wake up naturally every day, go out to sea to catch a few fish, play with the children, and take a nap with your wife, at dusk, wander to Drinking in bars and playing guitar with buddies."

The Mexican was even more puzzled, and still stared at him: "Isn't that what I am now?" The story, I forgot when I read it, but a reader sent an email and read it again seriously.The way of thinking is a bit different. It cannot be said that this rich American businessman is stupid; in the process of his "stupid" starting a business, he also created countless jobs, and these jobs supported countless people. In reality, not everyone lives in a sea full of yellowfin tuna.
