Chapter 7 Seven, big money

Young Master Tao Zhu: From childhood to adulthood, there are several basic questions that cannot be avoided, such as: What is love?What is sex?How should life be spent?Where do people come from?What is outside of time?Why do ethics and morality grow up like this? Because you are the son of the God of Wealth, born with a mouth full of bank cards, because the money you are born with is not the money you can eat or do whatever you want in the usual sense, but the money you can Many people can eat whatever they want and do whatever they want, so compared with other ordinary people, you have encountered another problem very early on, and you can’t hide it: what is money?

I think you must have asked your God of Wealth father, he must have his own opinion, and I will chat with you now, so that you can compare.You should know that there is no standard answer to all these unavoidable questions.In the future, if you meet those who insist on only one standard answer, most of them are fools, and very few are cunning and cunning. They will wash your brain like underwear and turn you into a fool.In short, for these problems, if you can understand a new way of saying, your small universe will be stronger. On the one hand, money is nothing, and it is nothing if you have money.

Many great things have nothing to do with money. For example, there was once a poet who got up to pee one night and was sad when he saw the moon. He wrote twenty words: "The moonlight is bright in front of the bed, and it is suspected to be frost on the ground. Look up at the moon and look down at your hometown." Two thousand years later, billions Primary school students wake up to urinate at night, and when they see the moon, they all think of these twenty words.This is great, but it has nothing to do with money. For example, there was once a novelist who was severely depressed and usually stayed in the sparsely populated outer suburbs of New York.I was really tired of eating the meals I cooked by myself, and I was really tired of using my left and right hands to touch myself, so I hitchhiked all the way to New York, found the number of a popular actress in the telephone yellow pages, called, and said, I wrote "The Catcher in the Rye" Salinger, I want to sleep with you.Then, he slept with the actress.This is great, but it has nothing to do with money.

For example, there was once a painter who fought against the ancients when he was young. He imitated all the famous ancient masters worth imitating, and he was confident that the fake paintings he created could fool all the experts in five hundred years.Later, when he went to Japan, he saw the first person in Japan to collect Shitao. He pointed to his most cherished set of Shitao landscape albums and said that it was his practice twenty years ago.The collector refused to believe it. The artist said, you can find a framer to uncover the bottom right corner of the fourth page, and there is my private seal of Zhang Daqian on the back.This is great, but it has nothing to do with money.

For example, there was once a businessman who led a computer company that had never made a mobile phone to make the iPhone after nearly two decades of semi-monopoly production of mobile phones by giant companies such as Nokia, Motorola, and Ericsson. "Why would I want to make a mobile phone? Look at the mobile phones in your hands, how can we tolerate ourselves using such a terrible product?" This is amazing, but it has nothing to do with money. For example, I saw a stranger driving in Beijing on a rainy day.A pedestrian was crossing the road, and in a hurry, he dropped a bag of peaches in the middle of the road, scattered in front of the man's car.The man pressed the emergency jump light, jumped out of the car, and helped pedestrians pick up the peaches as soon as possible.This is great, but it has nothing to do with money.

A more succinct argument is that even though it is great to have money, it is not so great that you have money, because you did not earn your money. On the other hand, money is a good thing, money is a kind of power, use it well, you can become great. For example, cultivate a cold voice.Choose one hundred places with non-mainstream folk customs and rich life around the world, rent a house in each place, provide three meals, the Internet and a bed.Find ten poets, ten novel writers, ten painters, ten photographers, ten house designers, ten composers, ten singers, ten dancers, ten monks, ten One who thinks about the moral laws of time and space.Don't look for those who are too popular, don't look for those who have been famous for too long, and don't look for those with mainstream positions in society.These 100 people live in these 100 houses for a year without any production requirements. They can think, create, read, touch themselves, eat, drink, whore and gamble, do anything that is not prohibited by local laws, or do nothing. .

Such as the continuation of good craftsmanship.In the ten oldest big cities in the world, choose the most traditional and beautiful location to open a small hotel with ten tables and ten rooms.Regardless of the cost and time, find the best local chef, use the best local raw materials, serve the best local wine, and restore the best taste and the most unforgettable drunkenness ever had in local history.Build local buildings with the strictest standards, use the best local furniture, match the best local fabrics, and restore the best nights and most unforgettable dreams that have ever been in local history.If it is opened in Beijing, the furniture will be better than Wanli, the incense burner will be better than Xuande, the porcelain will be better than Yongzheng, and the silk weaving will be better than Qianlong.

Such as promoting slim science.The understanding of viruses is still so primitive, and the common cold can still kill a group of humans piece by piece.How do autonomic nerves, hormones and the cerebral cortex interact, how do opium and guns and roses and orgasm connect?After tens of millions of years of accumulated oil, coal and uranium are used up, how can we rely on fire for cooking?There are countless liars in Chinese medicine, and countless people abuse Chinese medicine, but why can the Chinese reproduce and survive so vigorously?It is necessary to use a large-sample randomized double-blind experiment of Western science, first to see if Chinese medicine is useful, and then to see how it is useful.

Such as promoting distant democracy.In the poorest and most remote 200 counties, build a new library and a free Internet cafe for one of the best middle schools.Put your name on the facades of libraries and Internet cafes, and in a few years, you will be as famous as Uncle KFC.The top 100 scholars were summoned to spend 20 years rebuilding, extending forward to Xia and Shang, and extending backward to 2000 AD.In a few hundred years, you will be as immortal as Lu Buwei, Liu Yiqing, and Sima Guang. Feel it, no amount of money is enough, and spending money can be very pleasant. Yu Buyi, pondering by himself.
