Chapter 17 Chapter 17 The more money, the greater the freedom of life

In the Sea of ​​Japan there is a monkfish with glowing tentacles that likes to hide itself in coral and mud, where it escapes the sharpest eyes.So the premise of being a ninja is patience, even if the whole world does not know his existence. The most effective way to heal grief is to learn something.When you've been hit, when you've had setbacks, when you've been shaken in the bone, when you've seen your world destroyed, when you've had your honor trampled down the drain, after all that happens, you learn.I'm not a very flamboyant person, and a flamboyant person will not be able to persist for so long like me. Many things can only be hidden in my heart, and I can't even leave a word.My state is more like a ninja. A ninja is a very special species. He likes to lurk, see everything secretly, and shoot like lightning, killing his opponents silently.

In the Sea of ​​Japan there is a monkfish with glowing tentacles that likes to hide itself in coral and mud, where it escapes the sharpest eyes.Therefore, the premise of being a ninja is patience, even if the whole world does not know his existence.I am a child of a poor family, which determines my behavior, unassuming, calm, patient and low-key.Because of this, I can stand alone in a complex environment and be able to do a job with ease. I have to have the attributes of ninja and KGB, especially in an international company, all continents and countries, all kinds of skin colors, especially as a Chinese.In fact, in the eyes of foreigners, the Chinese are divided into four categories:

The first category is Singaporean Chinese; The second category is Hong Kong Chinese; The third category is Taiwanese Chinese; The fourth category is mainland Chinese. Singaporean Chinese are the most affirmed Chinese, and they are also the "first-class human beings" affirmed by foreigners.Most of the Chinese who came to Singapore to develop in the first place were disaster-stricken in the Mainland and went to Singapore only to beg for food.And Singapore is a small place with no resources, so the people are very hardworking, coupled with strict laws and the implementation of iron and blood policies, Singapore has finally become one of the "Four Asian Tigers".Therefore, when foreigners mention Singaporeans, they will have the impression of "honest, trustworthy, kind and hardworking".In addition, Singapore has completely preserved the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and in some respects, its orthodoxy even surpasses that of the mainland.

The Hong Kong Chinese are "second-class humans" after the Singaporean Chinese.Hong Kong was originally a British colony, a dilapidated fishing village, and it was cut off from another country in an instant. If it wants to survive, it must please foreigners. This is a very real problem.In this way, profit-seeking and money worship, starting with money, have become the characteristics of the Chinese in Hong Kong.As a result, in the eyes of those foreigners, compared with the Chinese in Singapore, what the Chinese in Hong Kong lack is honesty, and it is understandable that they will go on and on in order to live a better life.

The "third-class human beings" are Taiwanese Chinese, people who are familiar with modern history, are familiar with the Gaoshan people in Taiwan, and have deep memories of the gold and silver that Chiang Kai-shek took away from the mainland.On the one hand, the Americans support Taiwan, but on the other hand, they are extremely wary, making Taiwan a poor child struggling to survive. This is also the main reason why the Chinese in Taiwan have been reduced to "third-class human beings." The mainland Chinese are at the end of this ladder and have a "reputation" in international companies. Once the other party knows that you are Chinese from the mainland, the suspicion on your face will be unadorned.As for the reason, let’s look at the top 500 companies in the world. Let’s not talk about it, just talk about Taiwan. The top 500 companies in the world are all genuine, real swords and guns.Looking at the mainland, the only ones that can be ranked are the monopoly enterprises in the banking, petroleum, and communication industries.

There are many reasons for this, and they are also very complicated. In addition to the cancer of the bureaucratic system, the idea of ​​the mean for thousands of years is also at work.The traditional "golden mean" has levels, between "upper" and "lower", impartiality is the mean.But now, our "middle way" has changed, because we are "stronger" and "more powerful", and we have fallen behind.In layman's terms, the "moderate" that we talk about now and then has lost its original meaning. We are no longer the middle, we are regressing.

"Doctrine of the Mean" is dynamic, not static. Our habit has a lot to do with thousands of years of cultural accumulation. Liang Qichao once said such a passage in the early 20th century: It is said that since the establishment of the autocratic system in China by Qin Shihuang, the laws have been banned day by day, the politics and religion have been barbarized, and the monarchy has been respected day by day, but individuals have no power, and the whole country has no power.The key to the prosperity of the people and the strength of the country in the West lies in the prosperity of the people and the opening of the House of Representatives. Everyone has the right to freedom, and state affairs are determined by public opinion.Our country is not progressing in everything, but the art of defending the people alone is superior to advanced countries. This is really crying.

Mr. Liang's words, to this day, are still deafening, and they still ring in our ears. The above mentioned, if you have not worked hard in a foreign-funded company so far, you will never realize it anyway.When you are in a foreign company or an international company, no one will tell you the "golden golden mean". What everyone talks about is "innovation", not "cheap labor". I heard a lecture that mentioned labor productivity, one Swiss = fifteen Chinese.This is a very sensational formula. At first glance, it sounds impossible. In my vast country, fifteen strong men are not as good as one Nordic man?

And that's really the case. Although Switzerland is small, it has high technology.But we have more than one billion people, but most of them are engaged in agriculture and handicrafts.The comparison of wealth is clear at a glance, and it is useless to argue. I know my shortcomings, so I told myself to let go and fight for opportunities for myself.Don't underestimate other people, they have a lot of backers, I don't have one, and I'm still a Chinese from mainland China, so in the company, I can only get to the position of "Vice President" at most. There are many reasons for this. First of all, of course, my "birth" restricts my development.It is undeniable that the Chinese are good men if they fight alone, but it is very troublesome to get together in a group. They intrigue, form cliques, and do whatever is disgusting, which is very embarrassing to the Chinese.

Second, our overall quality is not very high. Third, we still have the mentality of "worshiping foreigners and fawning on foreigners". "It is better to give gifts to friends than to slaves", such examples appear from time to time.For example, some airlines give priority to forwarding the goods of foreigners. Foreigners can receive them in one or two days, while our own goods have to wait for four to five days. There is a passage in the middle for Hong Kong and Macau, and the design is also very interesting.The passages for Hong Kong people are large and spacious, but there are very few people; the passages for mainlanders are small and narrow, so crowded that there is no way to get through.In this way, the artificially created differences are ridiculous for foreigners to see.If you don't value your own compatriots, how can you expect others to value you?

As a result, many Chinese in foreign companies will be blindsided, and they themselves will become numb, only bragging and flattering.And once you have money or power, no matter how exciting your talk is, you will find ways to send your children abroad.This is a very unconfident expression. In stark contrast are Singaporeans. Most Singaporeans are honest and there is no such thing as corruption.In order to win orders, we use money strategies, but the only ones who have a low success rate are Singaporeans, because it is very difficult to do, and the laws of Singapore do not allow it. Once you commit a crime, you will never get over it for the rest of your life. When I entered the company, my position was the lowest. The reason why I have climbed up to now is because I am a "cash cow". Whoever uses me can make money.If it is an ordinary person, at the beginning of my struggle, I would have gone crazy long ago.At that time, not only was my relationship failed, but I also had a lot of affairs. Just writing a business report in English was enough to exhaust me. That was when I was the most lonely and helpless, and my heart was painful; I also tried a lot of hard work and enjoyed the thrill of success. "It's me to be a ghost, and it's me to be a human being" is the most appropriate portrayal of me at that time. I have experienced failures, and many times, family ties, friendships, and love are all gone. I mean, my failure is complete. JK Rowling once recounted this failure: "Failing meant stripping away all that didn't matter. When I failed, I stopped pretending I was something I wasn't and started putting my energy into work that I really cared about. The bottom of my life, it became I build upon the solid foundations of life. So don't be afraid to fail; as long as you live, you must face failure, unless you are careful as if you have never lived your life. If you do, your failure will come from giving up life." Even so, I was not hit by failure, even though it made me sad. The most effective way to heal grief is to learn something.When you've been hit, when you've had setbacks, when you've been shaken in the bone, when you've seen your world destroyed, when you've had your honor trampled down the drain, after all that happens, you learn.Learn why things are changing the way they are and what changes have taken place.This is the only thing that can make the heart never tired, never alienated, and never regret it. During that time, I insisted on reading, reading newspapers, and constantly learning knowledge. The survival skills I have come to rely on have also been learned while dealing with grief. I worked in three companies at that time. I was the vice president of the American company, the sales director of the Korean company, and the general manager of the Singapore company. I will bear the pain in my heart, use team A to deal with team B, use team B to deal with team C, and use team C to deal with team A.This is a bit like sand table training, I want to understand them and resolve the mystery.Not only to make money, but also to understand the thinking and habits of foreign nations, which is the most difficult.I graduated from a teacher college, and my starting point for learning is relatively low. Coupled with the crowding out of the people around me, and the endless pressure, sometimes I feel very tired alone.What you do in society is completely different from what you do in school.In the company, you have to work hard, flatter, and coordinate interpersonal relationships. You are facing multiple pressures. You are crazy inside and calm on the surface, but in fact your soul is already riddled with holes. Maybe some people don't quite understand that my original intention of doing these things is not for money, but for conquest.Are you happy making money?Maybe some people feel very happy, but I don't.Therefore, some people will turn back for money, but I will not. During my "infernal affairs" time, I clocked in at the South Korean company in the morning and then left; then I went to the US company to handle business; I went to the Singapore company in the afternoon to run business with a team; I went back to the US company in the evening and stayed overnight. This kind of work intensity is a huge test of psychology and energy. I only slept for three hours a night, and I was in a utility room full of cardboard boxes, and I couldn't even stretch my legs. It was only two square meters, not as big as a toilet. It’s like this every day, so I’m getting old very quickly, I have to worry, bear stress, and have a lot of night dreams. Everyone doesn't understand, but when a person loses love, affection and friendship, he can only find balance in this way.I have lost a lot, and this is the price, in exchange for honor and money.I am a sword in the hands of the boss, which can kill opponents, but the boss uses you and also guards against you, and he will never have absolute trust. This is a bit like the military generals in ancient novels, who conquered the whole country for the emperor, but they were in danger of being exhausted. This was one of the reasons for my pain. For me, money is no longer a matter of life and death, on the contrary, it is just a number.I think of a friend who is also the boss who once said something like this: Don’t take money too seriously, treat money as a number, and if you do it slowly, you will have a career. But the problem is, I treat money as a number, but my career is gone, and I have lost the motivation and direction to make money. Not long ago, I made two orders, the amount is relatively large, and I can do without starting work for a few months. In order to deal with two Chinese executives in an American company, I took them to sensuality, and the fee for the "Miss Public Relations" was 2,000 yuan each. When negotiating business with people from different countries, you have to talk about different content. When talking with foreigners, you need to talk about culture, the more you know, the more you will be convinced; when talking with Singaporeans, talk about law, Lao Tzu, and Zhuang Zi; when talking with Koreans, talk about hard work and speed; culture. This is the evolution of the way, I am the actor in it, my life is my series. Those unscrupulous and seemingly easy tricks, I have used them before, but I will not in the future.I hope that every penny I earn is clean and the process is clean. In order to "say goodbye" to my old self, I asked for leave and went to Gulangyu Island, hoping to fall asleep listening to the sound of the waves. Gulangyu Island is a beautiful place. If you are new to the mainland, if you don’t read the sign, you will think you are in Taiwan.It is said that in the past, a man jumped into the water from Xiamen Island, swam all the way to the other side, and shouted Long live the Kuomintang, until the police came and patted him on the shoulder and said: Comrade, you have never been to Gulangyu Island! Of course it was a joke. I want to throw everything into the sea, the humiliation, the emotion of failure, and the beautiful and kind mixed-race girlfriend.Let the unpleasantness pass, let the unrealistic fantasy wave goodbye. I sat on a deck chair facing the sea, raised a cup of tea, and sipped my thoughts. Although at this time, my mobile phone rang out of nowhere. It is far away from me, but hard-working people can hear it... Some opportunities are hard to come by, and sometimes these seemingly dangerous actions may determine the fate of your life. Capital is in the primary process of primitive accumulation. The world is always full of dangers, challenges and risks. The key is whether the decision-maker has accurate judgment, adaptability to changing circumstances, and extraordinary courage! December 31, 2011 overcast If life is just like seeing it for the first time, looking back, the flashy world, passing by, is just a kind of remnant at the beginning, weeping in my heart, it was only ordinary at that time. The initial comfort is like a dreamlike feeling, every frown and frown, every word and smile, like a spring breeze blowing on the face, like a rain shower.That kind of thumping, that kind of germination, like a flame, ignited the boundless thoughts. Thoughts, with sweet and salty flavors, in the past sea, thinking about the clouds of Wushan.The sea of ​​love suddenly changes, the thread of love is broken, how many inches are broken.The pain of thinking about leaving, the sorrow of leaving is exciting, and the wine is used to relieve the sorrow, but what is exchanged is only the tears of lovesickness that the wine enters the heart of sorrow. I can't help but think of Rong Ruo's words, "If life is just like the first time I saw it, why is the west wind sadly painting a fan? Waiting for leisure to change the old man's heart, but the old man's heart is easy to change. Lishan language is late at midnight, and Ye Yulinling will never complain What's the matter with Bo Xing Jin Yi'er, I will wish you that day." The sentence "Life is only like the first meeting" is written so profoundly that even the wings and branches have become memories of the past, and now I think of it only the melancholy of the whole body.That touch of beauty when we first saw it was vaguely appearing in my heart, that kind of melancholy, that kind of remorse, and that kind of deep pain in my heart.In the drizzle night, parting with tears, looking forward to disappearing into the decline of the vast world of mortals.I don’t even remember the full moon and waning of that night, I only know that the beauty of the past is gone, gone... gone... tears... hurt... Passing each other away, the instant beauty like fireworks has quietly passed away.Treasure, this is the only thing that has been entrusted so far.Who didn't cherish it?Who will regret it?There are thousands of miles of floating life in Yunyun, and the origin and extinction are dependent. I also thought of a poem by Rong Ruo, "Who would be cool alone in the west wind, with rustling yellow leaves closing the windows, meditating on the past and standing in the setting sun. I was not surprised by the wine, and I fell asleep in the spring, and the gambling and books faded away, and the fragrance of tea was splashed. It was only normal at that time." At that time, it was only ordinary, who has cherished the beauty that he had, and who can forget the affection he once had.The oath of "willing to be lovebirds in the sky, and Lian Lizhi in the earth" can't stand the test of "if the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening". With the passage of time, the " A kind of lovesickness, two places of sorrow" waiting, in the world of two people, there is no "ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death to promise each other", but there is only the "everlasting and eternal, this hatred lasts forever" ". However, at the other end where the love is buried, facing the sea of ​​the past, the cloud of Wushan is still left in my heart.Although time can pass away, it cannot be forgotten. The beauty of the past has become a painful remnant. Maybe it can be temporarily lost in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, but every time everyone is quiet, the right and wrong in the chaos of love can't help but come to mind, "It's useless until lovesickness, it's okay to be melancholy and insane." How many people in the world can understand the taste of "if life is just like seeing it at first sight"?Then how come there are so many "only Tao was common at that time"? "Since ancient times, there has been a lot of love and emptiness and hatred", in the shadow of the previous love, the recollection is just "the past has become empty, and it is still like a dream". Things in the world are like white clouds and candy dogs, changing rapidly. "Wait for the old man's heart to change, but the old man's heart is easy to change."When fate gathers and fate separates, people always look back, and the beauty disappears.Heartache, but can only be helpless, looking back suddenly, burst into tears.The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows. Those turbulent love, hatred, and hatred are like a river of spring water flowing eastward. Many years later, every time I think about it, there may be that moment of thought and a burst of heartache, but this incomplete beauty casts a bewildered beauty on your life.To reminisce, I want to go back to the past, back to the time when I first met, if life is just like the first time. The flowers wither and fly, and the vicissitudes of the world have been lost. The flowers bloom on the branches are brilliant, and the lingering fragrance after withering is also endless aftertaste.I have loved, missed, cried, and hurt, leaving only the faint lingering fragrance, tender thoughts, deeply buried in my heart, recalling the beauty I saw for the first time in the past. If life is just like the first time you see it, then it is only ordinary.The former beauty has become a mirror of water and moon, with teary eyes drooping, in the thought of looking back, the flowers are falling and the spring is gone, heaven and earth.
