There are two books that Jews believe in throughout their lives, one is called the Bible and the other is called the Talmud.
In 586 BC, the Jewish Kingdom was destroyed and a large number of Jews were trapped in Babylon. Countless Jewish sages and religious personnel gathered here. They could not escape and had nothing to do. They spent hundreds of years compiling a Jewish oral law.
The book, which has about 40 volumes and a total of 2.5 million words, is called Talmud.
The Talmud is all-encompassing and contains a large number of myths and stories, historical legends, folk customs, astronomy and geography, medical arithmetic, and botanical knowledge. It is not only a Jewish history book, but also an encyclopedia, and it is also a masterpiece of philosophy.
If the Bible is the spiritual conversion of the Jews, then the Talmud is the survival guide for the Jews.
Every Jew will receive "Talmudic education" from his parents from his childhood, and will naturally become Judaized as he grows up. This is the main reason why the Jewish nation has not dissipated after more than 2,000 years.
After the founding of the state of Israel, Orthodox Jews even tried to make the Talmud the founding law of the country.
As the leader of American Judaism, Stephen Wise has naturally studied Talmud seriously, but the book "Why Can Talmudic Jews Become Monopoly?" he received today made Mr. Wise's expression extremely complicated.
This sample booklet was sent by Zhou Hexuan. It begins with the following statement: Children from Jewish families almost have to answer a question when they grow up: "If your house is burned down one day, what will you take with you to escape?"
If the child answers that it is money or diamonds, the mother will further ask: "There is a treasure with no shape, color, and smell. Do you know what it is?" If the child cannot answer, the mother will say: "Child, what if you
What I take away is not money or diamonds, but wisdom. Wisdom cannot be taken away by anyone. As long as you want her, wisdom will always follow you."
After Stephen Wise read this paragraph, he subconsciously reacted: "Nonsense, my mother never asked me this question!"
But if you think about it carefully, this nonsense makes a lot of sense, and the beginning of it is intended to establish a positive image of Jews advocating wisdom.
Stephen Wise patiently read on, and the content made him dumbfounded. The whole book is divided into two volumes: "Doing Business" and "Living in the World". It distorts the ideological meaning of "Talmud" in various ways. To put it bluntly, it is a chicken soup for the soul.
Success books.
But Stephen Wise had to admit that once this book is published, it will be a hot seller and will be of great benefit in promoting a positive image of Jews.
This book also quotes many golden lines from the Talmud, such as
"God did not allow you to be born into this world naked, not to leave it empty-handed."
"You should treat making money as a matter of finding happiness, otherwise don't waste time on it."
"Angels are happy because they have wings, and humans are happy because they have dreams."
"There are no products in the world that cannot be sold, only people who cannot sell them."
"You should think of your business as your lover, so that your relationship is full of passion and fun. The more sincere your feelings are, the more you will get in return, and the happier your business will be."
"There are four standards by which people can be measured, which are money, alcohol, women, and attitude towards time. These four measures have something in common and they all have attractions, but they cannot be indulged in."
"In Jewish eyes, everything depends on women. In marriage and love life, a good woman is a school."
Countless golden sentences dazzled Stephen Wise, and they read with endless aftertaste. But he swore that he had studied Talmud all his life and had never seen some of these sentences. Then Zhou Hexuan was just making them up.
There are two types of books that sell well in the book market, one is Chicken Soup for the Soul, and the other is Success Learning, and Zhou Hexuan’s book covers them all.
In the first volume of "Doing Business", Zhou Hexuan instructs readers in the first chapter to establish a correct view of money, such as money being neither noble nor inferior, cash first, having money should not be idle for half a year, making money as a matter of course, etc. The second chapter also teaches readers how to learn
Money Making Skills, Chapter 3 teaches readers how to break their will in adversity...
It sounds reasonable, but in fact it is very nonsense. However, if anyone can implement it seriously, then he will definitely be able to make some small achievements.
There is a lot of interesting content later on, such as how to master information, how to use eloquence, how to remain mysterious, how to seize opportunities, how to intimidate opponents, etc. Anyway, it is confusing to apply Talmud and Jews, even for people like Rockefeller.
Even the richest people can't point out the shortcomings.
In terms of purely religious and national sentiments, Zhou Hexuan's book is a blasphemy to the Talmud, but Stephen Wise laughed like an old fox after reading it.
Western white people have a natural hostility towards Jews. One reason is religion, and the other reason is money.
The first volume of Zhou Hexuan's book, "Business", can allow readers to unconsciously identify with the Jews and actively learn Jewish business concepts. As for the second volume, "Being in the World", it can eliminate readers' misunderstandings about Jews and wash away the Jewish people.
That greedy philistine face.
What a great book!
Nowadays, everyone is shouting about the "American Dream". In fact, to put it bluntly, they just want to get rich. Immigrants from all over the world want to find gold in the United States. Successful learning and chicken soup for the soul are what people urgently need. This thing is like spiritual opium.
It makes people in the middle and lower classes of society sleepless and forgetful of eating.
This book was directly copied by Zhou Hexuan from the "Talmudic Jewish Business Wisdom and Life Bible". He originally read it to relieve his boredom while traveling, and his photographic memory allowed him to copy the entire book word for word.
Many of the business methods, business skills, chicken soup for the soul and success theories in it were summarized and summarized by later generations over a long period of time, and were extremely lethal in the 1930s.
In fact, as long as you strictly follow the theory and implement it, this book can really guide you in doing business and making a fortune. Most people cannot persist and implement it poorly.
Helping the Chinese publicize the anti-Japanese war and the abolition of the "Chinese Exclusion Act" in exchange for a best-selling book that whitewashed the Jews, Stephen Wise felt that it was a very good deal. What's more, the propaganda was also good for the Jews, and it could
It would be better if China opens Jewish refugee zones.
Stephen Wise took out a pen and paper and wrote to Zhou Hexuan: "Dear Mr. Zhou, thank you very much for your understanding of the Jews. As an Oriental scholar, your research on the Talmud is admirable... You
He is the eternal friend of the Jewish people."
What Zhou Hexuan didn't expect was that his Chicken Soup for the Soul, a book on success, would be reprinted countless times over the next half century, and its sales far exceeded those of "Titanic", "The Rise of the Great Powers" and "The Condor" trilogy.
and other books have become his best-selling classics.
After the reform and opening up of New China, magazines such as "Reader" and "Yilin" quoted Zhou Hexuan's book in various ways, feeding an entire generation of Chinese people with poisonous chicken soup.
Some netizens even jokingly called Zhou Hexuan the "Father of Chicken Soup for the Soul" and nicknamed him "Chicken Soup Zhou."
