Chapter 581: The Biggest Lies
This old man looks to be in his seventies, but he gives Li Yun a very young feeling, he speaks humorously, and soon they chatted together.
The old man hung his pipe, his face full of vicissitudes: "No matter when, the feeling of standing on a high place makes people too lonely." ”
"Maybe that's the fun. Li Yun said.
"Do you know what a capitalist is?" asked the old man suddenly.
"Drop milk into the river and burn the straw, that's the capitalists. Li Yun said unceremoniously.
But the old man shook his head and said with a smile: "No, a real capitalist will sell everything he has, his dignity, his soul, and even his life." ”
"In this world, a lot of things are worthless, but through the hands of the capitalists, it all becomes valuable. ”
"Diamonds, for example, are the world's biggest lies, and their veins are extremely rich and have almost no industrial value. There is no shortage at all, in fact, there is no difference between artificial diamonds and natural diamonds to some extent. ”
"In contrast to gold, diamonds are simply worthless in terms of value and quantity. ”
But the capitalists tied diamonds to love, which attracted countless people to buy them one after another. ”
"But as far as I know, the world's diamond mines are enough to mine for hundreds of years, so the capitalists never buy any diamonds, and gold is the eternal hard currency. The old man said with a cigarette butt in his mouth and a gushing face.
Li Yun nodded and said with a smile: "It's such a truth, but seeing that others bought it, but I didn't buy it, even if I found such a reason to comfort myself, I would be mercilessly ridiculed." ”
"So, there's nothing better in this world to deceive than a woman. The old man spat out a puff of smoke rings, smiled and said, "I have loved women's business since I was a child, because I know that women will give everything for a product they want, while men will not. ”
"Men are sometimes too sensible, and most of the things they buy are what they need to use. ”
"That's why I don't like to do men's business, but women's and children's business is what I want to do the most. Li Yun nodded, but said with a smile: "Then you must be a Jew." ”
"Yes, exactly. "The clothes on the old man's body have been washed many times at first glance, and although they are clean, they are not luxurious. But he was in good spirits. And there is a unique temperament.
Li Yun can observe that this old man is not ordinary.
He is approachable, yet convincing. The shoe polish under his feet was shiny. There are obvious signs of old age.
The old man smiled and said, "I have changed the soles of these shoes four times. Until now, it is still not damaged, and the quality is really not said. ”
"You're really saving. Li Yun said.
"No, I never save, just some money that I won't spend. The old man waved his hand and stroked his shoes proudly: "I have been wearing these shoes for at least ten years, and its price is not expensive, and the handiwork is very authentic." ”
"I'm never willing to replace it, because there's nothing better than it, and today's kids, a few thousand dollars for a pair of shoes, are branded, but I never pursue any brand, because I know better than anyone what brand added value is. ”
"The price of a pair of shoes has risen thousands of times because of a trademark, and I, as a fellow capitalist, sometimes feel silent for the IQ of these people. ”
Li Yun felt very kind to his sharp words, the old man in front of him was really slamming the door to the extreme, but this feeling was not bad.
Li Yun's gaze swept into the distance, and suddenly said: "I don't know how long it will take me to stand at the top of Wall Street, it will never be, we don't welcome a Chinese kid." The old man blew up, his eyes full of playfulness.
Li Yun was not angry, but said: "I admit that in the financial industry, even if I study for a hundred years, I can't compare to you." ”
"But I have my own way, no matter how much effort I use, I must have a place here, and I want my children and grandchildren to see the truth of this world from birth. ”
"He's not going to go with the flow like everyone else, he's going to make his own path, but only if I give him enough circumstances. ”
The old man nodded and sat down next to him. The eyes also looked into the distance: "Do you want to build a big family?"
"If you can. Li Yun said.
"Young people nowadays are really amazing. The old man exclaimed and couldn't help but say.
"Li Yun, I know your name, I can kill all the way, and now that you see this again, how do you feel now?"
"I should be sitting in a well and watching the sky, everything here is beyond my imagination. Li Yun said.
"Not bad. The old man clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Where do you think we are stronger than you?"
"You have too much say and we barely have any. Li Yun said unceremoniously.
"You guessed it. The old man nodded with satisfaction, looked at him slowly and said, "In this world, a lot of morality and law are all taught by us. There are many things we can do as long as it is in our interest. ”
"Abolishing the death penalty, animal protection, child protection, women's rights, these seemingly high-sounding slogans have our shadow behind them, and we can do anything as long as there is interest. ”
"For example, if polygamy brings us a lot of benefits, we immediately preach the benefits of polygamy. But as far as we can see, it is still in our interests to be monogamous. ”
"After all, it is too happy for men to live. It's not a good thing for us either. ”
Li Yun nodded, and suddenly smiled: "I really didn't expect that you would be so terrifying." ”
"That's not an exaggeration at all. The old man smiled and said: "This is a world of capital, but also a world of money, no one can avoid it." ”
Li Yun stood beside him, was silent for a long time, and then turned his head to look at him: "I just came here, can you give me a piece of advice?"
"Don't trust anyone, that's the advice I'm going to give you. The old man said with a smile.
"Thank you. Li Yun said.
Soon the meal was ready, Li Yun personally invited the old man to dine, and the old man happily agreed, for this old man, Tang Xue and they were also very interested. Not to mention this old man, who is fluent in Chinese.
The old man looked at the women around him and said with a smile: "You have the style I had back then, but it's a pity that you are still a lot worse than me." ”
"I'm still young, take my time. Li Yun said with a smile.
