Poor Mr. Andre Boulton, the president of General Motors, ended up losing $200 million because he was too greedy. He now regrets extremely why he didn't let go when Lin Sen offered $500 million or even $600 million. Yes, it's all because of greed.
In fact, when you live your whole life, you just have to be content and don't be too greedy. The consequences of being too greedy are often not good, and may even be very miserable.
Andre Boulton took out a big cigar and smoked it, as if smoking could barely relieve his helplessness and helplessness.
Greed is one of the original sins in Christianity. As a Christian, Andre Boulton prayed in vain.
In ancient China, there were many powerful figures who commented on greed, such as "Southern History? Yuan Hong Biography": "In the last years of Xiaowu, greed was greedy. When the governor dismissed two thousand stones and returned to the capital, he must limit the envoys to donate them." Chen Que of the Qing Dynasty said. "Information on Defending the Shamiao Land": "The idea of pushing out the protection of the state is particularly unreasonable. These are all stupid people who are greedy and trust the gods to fill their bellies." "Tokyo Fu" by Zhang Heng of the Han Dynasty: "Advance Mingde and worship industry. "The greed of gluttony." There are many exhausting annotations, and foreigners naturally cannot understand the essence of them. This is also the reason why Andre Boulton lost the Jade Seal of Emperor Kangxi.
As for Lin Sen, Hu Longfei, Zhang Sheng, and Xie Xinyong, they are all the kind of people who are humble, courteous and willing to take advantage of the situation. As long as there is a profit, they can immediately sell the things in their hands.
But in fact, greed is innate and a natural physiological mentality and thinking shared by all people. Greed is a kind of thought and intention. People often worry about not getting what they want. In a sense, , Greed is the driving force and pursuit of life.
Without greed, there would not be sufficient motivation to do things. For example, Andre Boulton, if it were not for greed, he would not have spent a lot of money to take pictures of Emperor Kangxi's jade seal. He did not really like this collection. I just hope there will be more room for appreciation in the future.
Buddhism says: Greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt are the five blunt forces that prevent people's hearts from becoming pure. The Buddhist scriptures explain that greed is based on the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Our eyes want to see The ears want to hear, the nose wants to smell, the tongue wants to taste, the body wants to touch, and the greed caused by thinking about many things in the consciousness leads to endless greed. This is the basic source of greed.
"Hahahaha... That old guy is so greedy that he swallows the elephant like a snake. I like that kind of people the most. They think they are so great, but they turn out to be nothing. Brother Sen, fortunately he didn't agree to sell it for 600 million US dollars. Otherwise, I would feel very sorry for the 600 million U.S. dollars. To be honest, although this thing is very precious, it is definitely not worth the high price of 600 million U.S. dollars. My original intention was to grab it. Anyway, I can take a photo of the Jade Seal of Emperor Kangxi. People who do this kind of thing are definitely rich people, and they are unkind for the sake of wealth!"
Hu Longfei proudly held Emperor Kangxi's jade seal in his arms, almost melting into it.
Lin Sen smiled and said: "Yes, if you are greedy, you will swallow the elephant, but you will not get any benefits. Westerners are like this. We Chinese are taught by Confucianism and Buddhism, and we are not that greedy."
"Brother Sen, tell me, is there really a Buddha in this world?"
Hu Longfei asked such a question out of nowhere, which stumped everyone.
Lin Sen, Zhang Sheng, and Xie Xinyong looked at each other, and no one could give an answer.
"I think there should be some. It's just that people's hearts have become so corrupt now that Buddha has given up on us and no longer shows miracles." Hu Longfei didn't know where his weird thoughts came from, and Lin Sen didn't bother to pay attention to them.
In the suite, Hu Longfei took out the jade seal of Emperor Kangxi and placed it on the table to study it carefully. The jade seal has a square shape, "a", the number "18", and a foreign word that is difficult to identify. Various signs indicate that this extremely precious
The royal seal was once auctioned after it was lost overseas. The content on the label should be the introduction text at that time, indicating that it was an item from China in the 18th century, and the word should be the name of the auction house or the owner of the seal.
This pair of jade seals is made of Shoushan hibiscus stone. It has a gentle and gentle texture, soft to the touch, and even emits a slight light.
"Brother Sen, treasure, treasure, this jade seal is so soft and shiny, it is really a rare treasure!"
Hu Longfei fumbled for a long time, then excitedly picked up the jade seal and kissed it, his eyes flashed with the kind of light that a lustful wolf would have when he suddenly sees a beautiful woman after having never seen a beautiful woman in his life.
Lin Sen pursed his lips, took out a few cigars from the cigarette case, and threw one to each of Xie Xinyong and Zhang Sheng, but not to Hu Longfei.
Hu Longfei screamed and rushed to Lin Sen's side, snatched the cigarette that Lin Sen had in his mouth, lit it, took a refreshing breath, exhaled a smoke that was close to the heart of a heart, and said: "Brother Sen, don't you guys?"
You know, I originally thought that this jade seal was only made of the finest Hetian jade, but I didn’t expect that it was not only the best, it was simply the best Hetian jade. This kind of jade, and it’s still so big, costing 200 million US dollars, no
It’s expensive.”
Lin Sen and the others didn't understand, so they just listened quietly. The lines were separated by mountains. Moreover, to be honest, Lin Sen, Xie Xinyong, and Zhang Sheng couldn't understand Hu Longfei's enthusiasm at all.
What else can a jade seal do besides commemorative value? Can it be eaten?
Hu Longfei continued to show off his limited knowledge, but when Lin Sen and others showed no interest, he shut up.
"Let me tell you, cut off a piece of this jade and make it into a decoration for a woman. I guarantee that the woman will like it very much. Jade is very nourishing, so you can't do anything. Alas..."
Hearing Hu Longfei's words, Lin Sen and others suddenly became a little excited. Lin Sen said: "Long Fei, is that really like that?"
Hu Longfei nodded and said: "Of course, can I lie to others?"
"Hey, when we return to China, how about we find a master with good carving skills to cut this piece of jade and make some jewelry?"
Lin Sen's idea is very evil. Is it necessary to cut up Emperor Kangxi's jade seal to make jewelry? Is it necessary to waste it like this?
Hu Longfei quickly collected Emperor Kangxi's jade seal, hugged it tightly in his arms, and said: "I tell you, don't even think about this piece of jade seal. It is a historical treasure. How can it be cut into pieces to make ornaments?
What a waste. I will collect it for a while and then donate it to the National Museum. This should be a national thing. As a Chinese, I have to return it to the country. Not to mention it was obtained so easily.
Even if I risk my life to get it, if it belongs to the country, I will give it back to the country."
Lin Sen, Zhang Sheng, and Xie Xinyong did not expect Hu Longfei to have such a profound understanding of justice, and they were all a little dumbfounded. If he wanted to sell the Kangxi Emperor's Jade Seal to make a fortune, Lin Sen and the others could definitely think of it.
Because he is that kind of person. However, Lin Sen and others do not believe that he wants to donate Emperor Kangxi's jade seal to the country.
Is there a free lunch in the world? If he donated it to the country, Hu Longfei could get a bonus of hundreds of thousands at most.
Hu Longfei chuckled and said: "Of course, when I donate, I will hold a press conference to let people all over the world know about it. Especially in China, I have become a great national hero. I also want to
By writing a book about my narrow escape to win this jade seal, my popularity will further increase. When I walk on the street, people will take photos with me. My dad’s face also shines!”
Lin Sen, Zhang Sheng, and Xie Xinyong were all dumbfounded. Hu Longfei was so shocking that they were speechless.
"Is it that simple? I'm afraid your purpose is more than that?"
Lin Sen said quietly, based on his understanding of Hu Longfei, if it were just that simple, Hu Longfei would be more willing to sell it at a high price and get hundreds of millions of dollars in reward.
Hu Longfei gave a cheap laugh and said: "Think about it, these entertainment stars nowadays are all incredibly beautiful and have no certain identity. How could I possibly fall in love with them? What if I donated the jade seal and became a celebrity, plus
I'm so handsome, I'm so handsome, I think it would be much easier to pick up a female star."
"If I go to a nightclub, and those hot girls see me, don't they rush towards me like moths to a flame? Let alone flying together, by then I can fly unlimitedly, flying with them for days and nights..."
I have seen some shocking people, but there are really very few people who are more shocking than Hu Longfei.
Lin Sen sighed helplessly and said: "Long Fei, we don't think we can match your great ideal. We looked up at you in admiration."
Hu Longfei was not ashamed but proud. He smiled like a rotten watermelon.
"Actually, it's very simple to pick up female celebrities, and you don't need any fame at all. Most of the entertainment stars broadcast in the media now have experienced unspoken rules. Of course, the executors of the unspoken rules are definitely not the male celebrities, but the rich ones.
Big bosses, investment companies, etc. Fei Ge, as long as you like it, you can choose any of the female stars in Singapore now. I can help you arrange whichever one you like. I have been in the Southeast Asian Business Club for several years, and I still have this ability.
Yes, as for Chinese female stars, as long as our Leiwang Village develops and grows, it will be very simple."
It seems that Xie Xinyong has been in the circle and knows something about this matter.
Hu Longfei's eyes were bright, like a beacon lighting up the freighter in the dark night...
"Xie Xinyong, have you ever slept with a female celebrity in Singapore?"
Hu Longfei ran to Xie Xinyong's side, put his arms around Xie Xinyong's shoulders, and was very affectionate...
Xie Xinyong said with a helpless smile: "No, I have no interest at all. I have no interest at all in those women who sell their bodies in order to become famous. In my opinion, they are not as good as young ladies. They pretend to be pure and beautiful girls on the surface.
In the boss's bed, you just have sex and have no control over it, I don't like that kind of person."
"By the way, I'm still a virgin. My first time must be with a very innocent and beautiful little girl..."
Lin Sen covered his forehead. What day is it today? Is it a shocking competition?
Ignoring the madness of these people, Lin Sen returned to his room to rest. Hu Longfei and Xie Xinyong, two people who were close friends and called themselves close friends, were still going crazy outside. Lin Sen secretly cursed them for being true lovers and having sex together...
At nine o'clock the next morning, Lin Sen, Hu Longfei, Xie Xinyong, and Zhang Sheng arrived at the lobby of the Rockefeller Hotel on time. As expected, Huang Buxi had just arrived.
Huang Buji was surrounded by several powerful men, as well as Huang Lou, who had strange powers. Lin Sen stepped forward to say hello with a smile, and he respected Huang Lou even more. Every S-class mutant
The capable and the strong are all worthy of respect. Of course, an S-level scumbag like Hu Longfei is not worthy of respect.
"Lord, nice to meet you."
Lin Sen looked polite and bowed.
Huang Lou smiled slightly and said: "Boy Lin Sen, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your momentum is far better than before. It seems that you are only half a step away from S-level. You must work hard!"
Lin Sen nodded hurriedly. In front of an old fox like Huang Lou, there was nothing to hide.
