"This is actually understandable."
"Because "Better Tomorrow" is a movie and "Struggle" is a game. Mr. Pei carefully portrayed the details. Every audience , players can get more or less similar information."
"But in real life, everyone faces different situations, and everyone learns from 'reality'. The information obtained is very different."
"Some people have changed their destiny through their own struggle, while some have not; some people have seen the tender side of the world, while some have seen the world. The cold side."
"So, their views on the real world are naturally very different."
"What I want to emphasize is that Mr. Pei has a very different view of the real world. In fact, he has already expressed his opinion, but most people don’t realize it.”
“Why? Look at my title: The Silent Expresser”
“ This kind of expression is a silent expression. It will not be said clearly, but you have to understand it yourself."
"Okay, please click on the second part of the video introduction. Here is a link to read carefully what Mr. Pei said in his speech to poor students at his alma mater. "
"Three, two, one."
"Okay. , I believe everyone understands. Mr. Pei donated 15 million to these poor students, and the purpose of this speech is to tell these poor students to make good use of this wealth."
"But. , Mr. Pei does not emphasize 'frugality', but emphasizes 'attention'."
"In fact, this is Mr. Pei's own view of wealth, but he does not believe in it either. Being stingy is good."
"When faced with the issue of wealth, many people tend to go to two completely opposite extremes:"
"One kind of person thinks. , timely gratification is good, and they will spend all their salary as soon as they get it, and even use credit cards to spend in advance, buying things that are completely beyond their ability to afford;"
"And another kind of people think that they must save money desperately. It’s good to do everything possible to seize every little profit. You are obviously rich, but you live like a beggar, but you miss a lot of opportunities.”
“Obviously, these two extremes. The ideas are all wrong.”
“And Mr. Pei’s speech tells us that the most precious thing for everyone is not money, but attention!”
“As long as we use our attention well, we can naturally make more money; on the contrary, if we care too much about small profits and waste our attention, it will be a small loss.”
"Then some people may ask, what does this speech have to do with this video and the game "Struggle"?"
"Of course it does. .”
“The content of this speech, plus all of Mr. Pei’s industries, is actuallySupplementing content that is not in "Struggle" tells us what exactly is "struggle" in real life? ”
“When faced with the issue of ‘struggle’, many people will also go to two completely opposite extremes. ”
“Some people think that struggle is meaningless and struggle can’t change anything. It’s better to live in peace. If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and we will talk about tomorrow’s things tomorrow;”
” The other kind of people believe that as long as they work hard, they will be able to live the life they want, and never ask whether the method of struggling is correct. "
"Both of these ideas are obviously wrong. "
"Before answering this question, let me add one point: Mr. He An pointed out that one of the roots of the tragedy of the poor in the game "Struggle" lies in 'consumerism' and 'IQ tax' , the poor worked hard to climb up to a false middle class position, but their hard-earned wealth was harvested by consumerism, and eventually fell into the cycle of poverty again. "
"In the game "Struggle", consumerism has controlled the entire society, so the poor in the game have no choice; but in real life, consumerism has not yet become the entire society. consensus, so if we resist consumerism, we can avoid being harvested and complete the initial accumulation of wealth. ”
“Many people also have doubts about this, because Mr. He An did not elaborate on what consumerism is. ”
“According to the general definition, consumerism is the majority of behaviors of most people in society. It is the pursuit of decent consumption, the desire for unrestrained material enjoyment and entertainment, and regarding these as the purpose of life and life. value. ”
“But I believe that everyone has their own views on the concepts of ‘consumerism’ and ‘IQ tax’. ”
“Many times we will find that the concepts of ‘consumerism’ and ‘IQ tax’ seem to vary from person to person. ”
“A very simple example: two packs of paper towels, one pack costs five yuan and the other pack costs twenty yuan. Is twenty yuan for paper towels an IQ tax? ”
“Many people think so. Since they are all paper towels, if you put a sign on them and increase the price by four times, isn’t this insulting people’s intelligence? "
"Then what if I tell you that the latter is softer, more delicate, more complex in craftsmanship than the former, and will give you a better experience? Do you still think this is an IQ tax? "
"Similarly, for an ordinary person, a brand-name bag worth tens of thousands of yuan may be an IQ tax, but for a billionaire, is a brand-name bag worth tens of thousands of yuan still an IQ tax? ”
“I think many people have not thought about this issue deeply. ”
“So, some people hate consumerism deeply, but some people think it’s nothing. They think that as long as their wealth can support them to buy brand-name shoes and bags, then they can buy them. ”
“Here, I don’t comment on right or wrong, I just speculate on Mr. Pei’s views on this point.Law. "
"The reason why many people are disgusted with the game "Struggle" is that they think it only raises problems, but it just shouts empty slogans and does not propose solutions. ”
“I want to say this: The gap between rich and poor is an eternal problem in human society. So far, there is no absolutely correct solution. We count on someone to come up with a solution that satisfies everyone. The answer is that this is impossible and unrealistic. ”
“Everyone should think independently and give their own answer to this question. ”
“But Mr. Pei has indeed given an actionable answer, but everyone did not realize it. ”
“Go back to the view of wealth expressed by Mr. Pei in his previous speech: the most precious wealth of a person should be attention. And how to use the money in your hands correctly? ”
“You should use it to pry your attention. "
"And Mr. Pei did indeed do this. "
"After Mr. Li's interpretation in the interview column and the photo with Mr. Pei, everyone should understand that Pei is always a person who spends all his time thinking. He has indeed been practicing this: even as a billionaire, his attention is the most precious. ”
“And what is Mr. Pei’s daily life like? We see that he lives in the Sloth Apartment and eats takeout, but he also wears designer suits and expensive watches. However, the value of suits and watches is limited. Compared with his worth, it is still low. Get a lot. "
"At this time, some people may think that what Mr. Pei said is contradictory:"
"Emphasis on using your own attention, but developing games to distract players "They are emphasizing their resistance to consumerism, but they are still wearing designer suits and high-end watches." ”
“But if you think about it carefully, is this a self-contradiction? Once you figure this out, everything will have an answer. "
...
Seeing this, He An couldn't help but be stunned.
He didn't expect that Qiao Laoshi would extend the topic here!
In He An’s view, it is definitely right to resist consumerism, but who can be 100% immune to the influence of consumerism?
Just like He An himself, When he makes money, he wants to buy a big villa and a luxury car. Strictly speaking, this is also consumerism.
If he completely resists consumerism, He An should use the money he earns to work. Operation, to create greater value, or to do charity, to help more people.
But he obviously did not do this, but left a large amount of money for personal use. Enjoy.
So, He An did not fully discuss the issue of "consumerism" in his long Weibo post.
He subconsciously feels that the so-called consumerism is actually a matter of fact. It depends on your income level.
If you are a poor person with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, you must save money to buy it.Sports cars are brainwashed by consumerism; but if you are a billionaire and want to buy a luxury car, just buy it, and it will not have any impact on his life.
But He An himself knows very well that this statement is somewhat contradictory and cannot be self-consistent.
If the conclusion is "You can't buy designer bags when you have no money, but you can buy them when you have money", it seems very unconvincing, and it will also make people think that it is a bit discriminatory to the poor. It seems that this kind of thing Poor people don't deserve to buy it.
Then we fall into the trap of consumerism again.
So, what Qiao Laoshi is talking about now is actually very dangerous. It must be argued carefully, otherwise it will overturn if you are not careful.
Now that you have made it clear that Mr. Pei also wears designer suits and watches, how do you convince others to reject these things?
With some worry, He An continued to look down.
......
"Obviously, this is not contradictory."
"I have been emphasizing before that everyone should not fall into the misunderstanding of either/or thinking. ”
“We do need to make good use of our attention, but can humans guarantee that they can control all their attention exactly at all times?”
“Of course it is impossible.”
“So we emphasize that we must have an eight-hour work system. Within the eight hours, we work and study seriously, and outside the eight hours , we also need to rest and relax."
"That is to say, we need to combine work and rest."
"Games are actually games that help us rest and relax. , or a game with outstanding artistry; whether it is a game that makes people laugh or a game that makes people think, it is meaningful to us. ”
