Chapter One Hundred and Sixtieth Nine: The poor are alone, and the prosperity is the world
April 5th, Qingming Festival
It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road feel like they are dying.
When I asked where the restaurant was, the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.
Today is Qingming Festival. According to folk tradition, today is the day to sweep graves. Many people still retain this custom. They will take their wives and children back to their hometowns to sweep graves on this day.
Buy some paper money from Tiandi Bank and some yellow paper, go to the grave of your father, grandfather or great-grandfather, burn some paper money to pay homage to your ancestors.
If you have achieved something in the past year at this time, you will happily talk about it with your loved ones in the grave.
Sometimes, fathers will proudly tell their grandfather in the grave: My son and your grandson have been admitted to a key university this year!
Sometimes, fathers would happily chat with their relatives in heaven: Lao Liu from the house next door and his daughter got married this year, and she still married far away. She ignored her parents and directly married to the capital of the province next door.
Lao Liu was very angry at first, and said that he would just pretend that he no longer had this daughter. But later he became less angry, and the capital of the province next door is not far from our place, so I can’t tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing...
…
When there are good things, we chat with our ancestors when burning paper; when there are bad things, we chat with our ancestors, as if after chattering, everything will start again.
Of course, there are also some young people in big cities who think that burning paper is purely polluting the environment, a waste of time, and purely feudal superstition.
In this regard, Xiong Yan can only say that the same rice can support hundreds of people. Today, with the changing times, Daxia has actually been divided.
The separation between some economically developed coastal cities and inland cities has lasted for more than a day or two. People in the cities have completely different views, especially in some aspects. The gap is so big that they don’t even feel like people from the same era.
.
In some cities, the divorce rate is as high as 40%, there are only one or two people who are sexually open, and the cheating rate is frighteningly high, unbelievable.
In some cities, there seems to be no change from a few decades ago. They still favor sons over daughters, and still insist that only having a son can pass on the family line. If there is only one daughter, it means that there are no descendants.
In other places, thousands of years of tradition are still preserved, insisting that there should be no sex before marriage. As for living together before marriage, abortion, etc., these are typical evil ways.
Various ideas are flooding the current era. Which idea is correct? This cannot be the correct answer in this era. It may take hundreds of years or even a thousand years to look back at the present time to understand.
Give a relatively reasonable and objective view.
Today, Xiong Yan did not go home to burn paper. He was at the zoo, and the dumpling was curled up in his arms, and he kept stroking it.
Playing with dumplings may be a dream shared by 1.4 billion people in Great Xia. Today, Xiong Yan has realized this dream early. As long as he is willing, he can even play with dumplings several times a day.
After playing with the dumplings for a while, Xiong Yan looked at his watch, put down the dumplings, and sat helplessly on the special car, ready to start today's work.
Because of the Qingming Festival, the institute is on holiday today, and it is a mandatory holiday!
Researchers in the institute basically don't pay attention to time changes in the outside world when they are busy. They are not only busy in reality, but also in the virtual world.
Seeing that they were so busy every day, Xiong Yan had no choice but to give them a holiday during the Qingming Festival to see if the young researchers could take the opportunity to spark some love.
However, ordinary people can take holidays, but senior executives like Xiong Yan and Chu Xuan do not have any holidays. They are at work every day, 365 days a year. There is no private time and no holidays to speak of.
However, since you have taken this position, you should bear the corresponding responsibilities. Just be busy when you are busy, as long as you learn to take some time off from your busy schedule.
Chu Xuan:......
It is still a very large stadium in the capital, and today it once again welcomed a six-figure audience, half of which were news friends from all over the world, and the other half were lucky spectators from all over the country.
Lucky spectators can apply for free round-trip tickets and sleeping tickets, but not for flights.
Looking at the huge crowd of people in front of him, Feng Yi's face was filled with a smile.
Feng Yi is not a lucky viewer, but comes here as a self-media celebrity. The number of fans on his account is close to 10 million.
And he is not a senior journalist, he is just a self-media celebrity who after recovering his aura, seized the opportunity, started his own business, and then seized the limelight.
Before starting his own business, Feng Yi was an out-and-out ordinary person. He was really ordinary.
When he was born, his family was still very poor, and he was born in a truly poor rural area. At that time, his parents had to go to other places to work in order to make money, so he was a real left-behind child. When he was a child, he and several cousins were raised by his elderly grandfather.
.
Fortunately, every winter and summer vacation, Feng Yi's mother would return to her hometown and take him to the city to spend the New Year and summer vacation together.
Therefore, compared to other left-behind children who can only see their parents during the Chinese New Year, Feng Yi has always felt that she is quite lucky.
Therefore, his mentality has always been very good.
Later, when he was in junior high school, Feng Yi's parents took him to the city. However, their parents' connections were limited, so being able to take him to school in the city was the limit, and they couldn't send him to the best school.
.
Even so, the high school selection fees almost depleted the entire family's savings at that time, and Suo Xingfengyi had always been very sensible.
Therefore, Feng Yi did not like playing like his peers, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to studying.
In junior high school, other students were playing with toys and eating snacks while he was studying.
In high school, other students were playing Three Kingdoms and other board games, while he was studying.
In the end, he was admitted to a certain 211 university. After graduation, he took the national examination directly from the province where he was a fresh graduate. He succeeded in one attempt and landed directly.
But after landing, Feng Yi discovered that low-level civil servants like him did not dare to take bribes. If he kept working honestly and did not find a side job, he would only be poor and stable.
In desperation, Feng Yi started to try writing online novels, but after writing for half a year, he didn't make much money. Then he started to try self-media. Just as the stars appeared during the day, Feng Yi was taking pictures of the scenery outside the window with his mobile phone.
And red!
Then, Feng Yi seized the opportunity and decisively devoted himself to self-media. After the Chinese New Year, in order to have more time and energy, he even resigned directly.
No more iron rice bowls!
Recalling his experiences in the past six months, Feng Yi only felt ups and downs. In deep contemplation, he installed the camera and began to greet the audience.
"Hello everyone, I am Feng Yi. Today is Qingming Festival. I would like to say happy holidays to everyone... Please enter... on so-and-so to receive red envelopes."
"This is the live broadcast site, and today is the day when the dean and ministers live broadcast in person. Today's theme is that if you are poor, you can take care of yourself, and if you are prosperous, you can help the world."
"This sentence must be familiar to everyone, and they have all heard it more or less. It's just that maybe you didn't have a deep understanding of this sentence before today. This sentence comes from..."
"The above is the popular science stage. Any blogger can tell it. But am I, Feng Yi, an ordinary blogger? Of course not! So, let me talk about my personal interpretation below!"
Having said this, Feng Yi's face was filled with a confident smile, and viewers who were familiar with him began to refresh their screens.
"As the dean of the Daxia Institute of Special Affairs, every move of the dean must have profound meaning. Since the dean chose this sentence as the theme of today's press conference, what did the dean think?"
"I think that if you want to know what the dean is thinking, you must first combine the international situation in recent years and the situation in Daxia in recent months, especially the extraordinary aspect!"
"Of course, today's officials do not use the word extraordinary. They are currently defined as evolvers. There is no doubt that Daxia is at the forefront of the world in terms of evolutionary research."
"Therefore, there is no doubt that Daxia is the master, the leader, and the forerunner in evolutionary research. If it is poor, it can only benefit itself, but if it is successful, it can help the world."
After reading the news topic again, some smart netizens had already made guesses. Looking at their comments, Feng Yi smiled slightly: "In the past, Daxia was far from reaching the standard, and in many aspects it fell short of the standard.
"
"So, at that time, we in Daxia could only live alone. What now? We may have met the standards of Da, so should we start to help the world?"
"As we all know, for the past thousands of years, Bactria has been the big brother or one of the big brothers in the game of Earth."
"Even during the Qing Dynasty, when we were the most backward, and even during the Opium War, our GDP accounted for 22 percent of the world's gross product."
What is the concept of twenty-two percent?
A few years ago, the beautiful country across the sea only accounted for 24% of the world's gross domestic product.
Is the most beautiful country in the world?
of course!
After giving the audience some time to digest, Feng Yi continued: "So, will today's Daxia meet the standards of Da in some aspects or even many aspects? If so, then will it be time to take another turn?
How about when we help the world at the same time?"
"Of course, the above content is purely personal conjecture and does not have any scientific basis. Please do not go online. The bar is yours to win..."
A moment later, the projections of Xiong Yan and Chu Xuan appeared on the scene. Looking at this scene, everyone knew that the press conference was about to begin.
The hosts were still the familiar man and woman, both of high-level national speakers. The host said hello to the audience, and the scene became quiet.
"Dean, I still remember that at the last press conference, you announced a lot of big news, each of which had far-reaching impact. So today you have the theme of being poor and benefiting yourself, and being prosperous and benefiting the world. Do you want to
What do you want to express?" The male host smiled and started to guide the topic.
Xiong Yan nodded to the host and then to the audience in front of the camera: "You can say that."
"Today we will mainly announce some of the latest research on evolution by the research institute and the management department."
"Although I have been saying before that we are number one in the world in the field of evolution research and are at least a year ahead of other countries, but this is too vague. Many people do not understand where we are now."
"Today, I will briefly demonstrate some results so that everyone can have a relatively clear understanding. In addition, there are also some results that can be used directly."
"So, you can also think of today's press conference as an expo, a personal show of the research institute and management department. You can even think of it as a product launch site. I am just advertising and selling products.
.”
"It's just that most of our products are a bit special. Some of them will definitely make a lot of money once they are launched on the market. The profits will be more than ten times or a hundred times."
Hearing this, the female host asked curiously: "But Dean, a certain ancestor once said that with 20% profit, capital becomes active; with 50% profit, capital becomes active."
Taking desperate risks; for 100% profit, capital dares to trample all human laws; for 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime and even risk hanging."
"So what kind of products can make profits ten times or a hundred times as soon as they are released? Are they those that are written into the criminal law? Dean, you are our official, you cannot break the law without knowing it."
Although everyone knew that the female host said this deliberately to attract everyone's attention, at this moment, the audience's attention was still attracted, and everyone was thinking about what kind of business or product it was.
Only then can we openly claim to have a profit of ten times or a hundred times.
Could it be that today's research institutes and management departments have begun to imitate capitalists, talk nonsense, and draw ppts everywhere to deceive people?
Later, the dean will not directly say: Let us suffocate for our dreams, right?
Thinking of such a scene, many stock investors began to shudder. A certain big scammer who returned to China next week seems to have gone to the beautiful country to continue selling cars, but it seems to have failed...
"The sage Lu Buwei once said: The benefits of hard work will be tenfold; the benefits of pearls and jade are priceless; the benefits of the country will be endless."
"Of course I can't lead everyone to rebel or unify the whole world, so it's impossible to seek the country, and there's no need to think about endless profits for the time being."
"And working hard can't really make people rich, it can only prevent people from starving to death. Capital will always have new ideas one after another to drain your wallet or even overdraw your future."
In fact, every Daxia citizen is familiar with the matter of capital overdrawing the people's future. Even if they are not overdrawn, they are surrounded by compatriots who have been overdrawn.
A thirty-year mortgage is essentially an overdraft of a young man’s future thirty years!
From the moment you take on the mortgage loan, it is destined that you will not have many choices in the next thirty years, and becoming an honest part-time worker is the most likely choice.
This is a typical example of capital kidnapping citizens and allowing them to overdraw their future.
For many ordinary people, their future in thirty years is gone from the moment they take on the mortgage loan. And thirty years later, when people are old, what future will they have?
"I am different from Capital. When Capital has money, it only wants to make more money. But when the research institute and management department are developed, they will think about how to lead everyone on the road to wealth."
