Chen Zhixian's expression moved, and he said, "No, I long...... I'm hungry for ......."

Halfway through speaking, he suddenly felt a little dazed, and repeated a few words of "I long" in his mouth, but he never said what he longed for.

Lin Han asked, "What do you crave?"

Chen Zhixian was silent for a moment and sighed: "Maybe it's wealth." ”

"Just wealth?"

Chen Zhixian shook his head: "Of course not." But ideals and myths are always uncertain, and all I can grasp is real wealth. ”

"Speaking of ideals, I hope that Timor-Leste will be prosperous and strong, and I also hope that China can be stronger than the earth. But sometimes when you think about it, your desire doesn't seem to be as strong as you imagined. I wouldn't seem to feel much pain if reality didn't allow it. ”

He said slowly: "Maybe this is the so-called, petty-bourgeois weakness and compromise......

"As for the illusory myths, the spirit, life, the universe, the truth, and so on, the religious explanation is naïve, but the answer given by science also makes me suspicious...... Perhaps, there are no answers to these questions that people think they exist. ”

"In the end, I just know that making money is practical and graspable, and getting more wealth is always right in human society. ”

Lin Han nodded: "Very soberly understanding, but what do you think is the essence of wealth?"

Chen Zhixian thought for a while: "Marx discussed ...... in Capital"

Lin Han hurriedly stopped: "Stop, don't be so formal...... Just talk about it. ”

Chen Zhixian nodded: "Money is a symbol of wealth, and the generation of money comes from the most primitive barter, everything that can be traded can be exchanged with money......"

In short, wealth is material, and if you rank material, wealth must come first. ”

Lin Han smiled and asked, "How many years have you been in Huaxia?"

"It's only been four years of college, and after graduating from the Chinese industry, I went back to Timor-Leste. ”

Lin Han said: "It is estimated that your understanding of some domestic situations is not deep enough...... You should know a little bit about William McKinley. ”

"You know, he is the 25th president of the United States, and the first American president to be propped up by big business. ”

Lin Han continued: "In the United States, from the president to the congressman, all of them can be supported by a consortium to speak for capital. But in China, the situation is very different...... The power of China's political giants far exceeds that of business giants, and the gap between the two is even beyond the imagination of most people. ”

"For some special reason, it's too detailed, and I can't tell you about it. But one thing you need to know is that the collapse of almost every business giant is just a fish in the pond when political power is played. ”

Chen Zhixian thought thoughtfully: "So, these business giants you are talking about are 'hand-picked'?"

Lin Han coughed: "I don't mean this at all, after all, personal struggle is still very important." ”

Chen Zhixian didn't speak again, and Lin Han continued: "Some people have power that is completely above wealth and capital, and a word can subvert the life fate of the richest entrepreneur." Although some of these people may not be as rich as you. ”

"The power of wealth is only meaningful if it is under the established rules of society. But a lot of the order in this world is artificial, and those who make and modify the rules are the real commanding heights of power. ”

Lin Han paused and looked at Chen Zhixian's expression: "The wealth you yearn for is actually just a faint projection of human power. When your wealth reaches a certain height, you will feel the monitoring and restraint of the rules, and at this time, you need to consider constructing a new order. ”

"New order ......" Chen Zhixian frowned slightly, and then looked at Lin Han, "Mr. Lin, have you considered this now?"

Lin Han smiled: "In China, of course, I am far from enough. ”

"And what do you mean?"

Lin Han looked at him: "But if it's East Timor, the situation is different. ”

"I can come up with more money than the GDP of the entire province of Lautem in a year. Do you think I can try to change the order in East Timor?"

Chen Zhixian's hand seemed to tremble, and he said after a while: "Except for a few mineral resources, Timor-Leste can be said to be very poor, and the several high-value minerals that are currently being mined are close to exhaustion...... Are you sure you want to make such a big investment?"

Lin Han smiled and said, "Of course it's certain." I think the future of Timor-Leste is bright, don't you think so?"

Chen Zhixian's eyes flashed slightly, and then he showed a little firmness: "Can you tell me about your plan?"

Lin Han said slowly: "It's pointless to talk about too far-reaching plans now, but Timor-Leste has now fallen into a resource curse, which is indisputable." Therefore, if you want to develop East Timor, breaking the resource curse is a very important goal in the early stage. ”

The so-called resource curse refers to the fact that although a region has abundant natural resources, in the long-term development process, the abundant resources have produced a series of problems, which ultimately greatly hinder the process of regional development.

The most famous example, such as Detroit in the United States, although it was extremely prosperous in the early days due to its abundant natural resources, its economic structure was very deformed due to its dependence on natural resources.

Not long ago, due to the depletion of minerals and the failure of Detroit's transformation, the entire city finally declared bankruptcy and its prosperity was gone.

Similarly, the development of modern China is also a resource curse in a broad sense.

However, the resources here mainly refer to population resources, that is, the rapid development of China in the past few decades is based on a large number of cheap labor with solid basic knowledge.

The biggest internal problem facing China now is the depletion of population resources, that is, the population collapse of the post-90s generation.

Due to the family planning policy, China's post-90s population is far less than that of previous generations.

When the post-60s and post-70s generations gradually retire, and the post-90s generation gradually enters the workplace, the problem of depletion of population resources suddenly becomes prominent.

However, fortunately, the post-90s generation received better education than previous generations, so the current direction of the country is to transfer the production of enterprises that require a large number of labor, and then vigorously develop the tertiary industries such as finance and information.

Timor-Leste's problem today is that it is mired in the curse of mineral resources such as oil, and now that the exploitation of minerals is almost exhausted, so it can be said that it is in crisis.

Moreover, it obviously does not have all the advantages of China, and it has just been founded for more than ten years, and it has not even solved the problem of eating, and it has already fallen into the curse of resources.

If Lin Han wants to engage in construction in East Timor, he must at least find a way to help him continue his life.
