If someone interviews businessmen who have become truly successful and wealthy, they will most likely find an interesting phenomenon in this group of people - they value fulfillment more than money.

Whether it is a sense of fulfillment in career, family, or society, it has become more important than money itself, and the premise of such thoughts is that one's wealth will not be greatly reduced.

The rich people mentioned here are not the kind of rich people who are worth tens of millions, although they have reached this point, they have eaten and drunk without worry, and live a rich life, but they can't help but want too much. A few years ago, $500 million was a threshold used to distinguish between ordinary rich and super-rich, but now the threshold has risen to about $1 billion, and Su Mu has stepped on this line with most of his feet, and only a little bit has not stepped in.

Before the creation of Penguin Company, Qugou Supermarket was worth nearly 100 million US dollars, and at that time, Su Mu still felt that the so-called "money is just a string of numbers in the account after reaching a certain point" This sentence is unreasonable, and he always feels that the rich are full of eggs and idle panic, who would think that they have more money?

It was only at this level of value today that he realized that this was really the case.

If you sell all the company's shares, stocks, and patents, you can suddenly have about a billion dollars more in your hands, and as long as you don't spend such a large amount of money indiscriminately or invest indiscriminately, it is enough for the whole family to worry about it for a hundred years. The reason why I still work hard and manage the company well is mainly to prove my success, and to find something to do to pass the time, and also to make more money, but this has become a secondary pursuit, more of a pursuit of social status, fame, respect, etc.

The reason why I say this is because Su Mu has been in Menlo Park for a few months, busy with company affairs all day, and suddenly he is confused again.

When I returned home, I was lying on the sofa and watching TV casually, thinking to myself that I had so much money, but I was not as chic and happy as before, why did I feel uncomfortable. Family, feelings, career, money, and other things that countless people dream of are now very happy, and when I think about it, I think it may be a cheap panic, and women have a few days a month when they are in a bad mood, and men will often fall into a similar state, but it is not obvious.

The old troubles have just been dealt with, and the new troubles have come again, and there have been a lot of things recently, such as the screen defect problem of Penguin's computer, the lawsuit over the patent of hypertext links, the launch of the OO browser, the promotion of the Bee chat software and the new personal computer, the rectification of the company, etc., Su Mu needs to handle it himself, and he feels that it is time to take time to take a vacation to adjust his mood.

The call with Lily is as always, not vigorous, but also some inconspicuous fun, the so-called lovers are probably to find a spiritual sustenance and chat partner for themselves, support each other to enjoy life together, and many ordinary people, the two of them have no material troubles, just enjoy the relationship quietly.

It's only been more than half a year since I fell in love, and I already have a tacit understanding like an old husband and wife, although we don't see each other often, the relationship is developing steadily, and the elders of Su Mu occasionally bring up the topic of marriage, which is not in a hurry for the time being, and they are not ready to get married.

......

In 1984, Su Mu started his business when he was still an adult, and more than four years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the initial passion has long faded, which is mostly the reason why he feels tired, no matter how smart he is, he is also a human being, and he is young, it is normal to feel like this.

Some people become famous at a young age, and after earning money and fame, they begin to indulge themselves, and people like him who continue to devote themselves to work belong to the minority, and have not learned how to decompress themselves.

Su Mu himself studied psychology at Yale University, and after doing a "psychological examination" for himself, he found that the problem was not big, he was thinking about something in his mind, and he accidentally fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up at eight o'clock in the evening, he was still lying on the sofa with an extra blanket on his body.

Seeing that grandpa is sitting at the tea table not far away to make tea, the whole set of tea sets in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty cost a lot of money to Su Mu, the old man does not know that this set of tea sets is valuable, the movements are casual and casual, after all, it is still a lack of effort to cultivate qi and cultivate nature, always a little bit of meaning, a month may not be able to see him make tea once, prefer to take a teacup to fill some at will, spoiling the good tea shipped from Huaxia, the top of the West Lake Longjing, with a worthless cup stuffy to the bitter taste before drinking.

It's good that the old man is happy, Su Mu has never said anything, and he has no opinion on the old man giving away the tea, he has suffered for most of his life, and he can finally enjoy the happiness of old age, and he is very happy about it as a grandson.

At this moment, he smiled: "Didn't you say that you would play with the old neighbors for a few more days before returning to Chinatown, why did you come back?"

The day before yesterday, the old neighbor celebrated his 60th birthday, and Old Man Su couldn't bear the boredom, forgot the pain of being blocked at the beginning of the year, and returned to Los Angeles Chinatown to find old friends.

looked up, helped his grandson take a small cup, and said sullenly: "Come and drink together, drink a few cups of scraping oil, so that you won't be unable to sleep, and it is good to drink this thing when you are ripe."

It's all changed, and I can't talk together, either I want to help my juniors arrange a job, or our family is rich, and I don't treat them badly. Lao Li, who used to talk about everything, said that my spirit had changed after I got rich, and the words were good, but they sounded harsh. ”

Su Mu pondered slightly, guessed that it was estimated that the old man was excluded by his former friends, and often heard people talk about who turned his face and didn't recognize people after flying Huang Tengda, and looked down on his original friends, in fact, from his point of view, it was not that he turned his face and didn't recognize people, but the contact circles were different, there were topics to talk about before, but now they can't talk together, and the relationship is naturally estranged.

After sitting down, he tasted the tea, and the tea cup was stuffy for too long, the taste was so strong that it was bitter, and the tea leaves were too much.

I don't have much research on drinking tea, and I will be able to enter it, and I opened my mouth and smiled: "A group of old men and old women talk about trivial things, short things in the family, what is worth talking about? You see our neighbor Old Schsmith, who is a few years older than you, and attends more cigar salons and golf parties, and the next time he goes fishing in the bay, you will also follow, buy you a yacht, and let the bodyguards drive you to fish and play."

Recently, I just bought a private jet, and it won't be long before it can be delivered, I used to always say that I want to go to Europe to see, Huaxia, Yueben or something, except for the Soviet Union, it's okay to run casually, money and the like don't have to worry at all, I can make money. ”

Old man Su is very concerned about his grandson's company, and often hears that he has made tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars, and he can't have the careful thought of saving money for Su Mu at all, he used to feel distressed for a dollar, but now three or five hundred dollars is not a matter at all, so much time has passed, no matter how big the impact is, he should be relieved, I heard that he bought a private jet, and it was just a smack of his lips.

The grandson is filial, his life is comfortable, and the family is also harmonious, except for the fact that his wife is not there, which occasionally makes him uncomfortable, he can't find fault with anything else, and nodded: "That's okay, there are many things in the rainbow ranch, and I'll go when the wheat is cut." ”

That small ranch, as if the old man as the spiritual sustenance in Menlo Park, had no experience in this area before, asked someone to help take care of it, took care of it tightly, brought some fresh milk back every morning, handed it to the old Tom butler after sterilization, sent to the table, and the food was also brought back from the rainbow ranch.

Su Mu knew that his grandfather liked to do this, so he followed his words and said: "Rainbow Ranch is not a little smaller, I have a friend who went to Wyoming last time and bought a large ranch of tens of thousands of acres, and several mountains are his." Otherwise, I'll buy you a piece, Wyoming, Montana, Texas and other big agricultural and animal husbandry states can be considered, and we have a lot of ranches in California.

The price is not expensive, at most two or three thousand dollars per acre, if it is worse, it is cheaper, tens of thousands of acres of pasture, just a private jet. ”

"That's it?"

Old man Su chatted with him, his mood was much better, and he shook his head with a smile: "I can't take care of such a big place, don't spend that unjust money, Rainbow Ranch is very good, I am so busy that I already have a headache."

Later, you can buy some land, that thing will be our family's land for hundreds of years, as long as the United States is still there, it will not be gone, you are making money now, it is not wrong to save money. ”

Disagreeing with this sentence, Su Mu retorted: "How much money can be saved, the most important thing is to make more money, the more money you make, the more you save, and ordinary people save money by saving......"
