Chapter 472: Scholarly Spirit

Complaining too much to prevent intestinal breakage......

Without waiting for Wang Tianming to react, Bian Xuedao said: "We all hope that the rich are educated and make a good example for the society, but we should also see that the rich are not educated, and the key is that culture has no power." Relying on culture and rules can not be exchanged for success, respect, money, and even long-term problems, and even only by turning their backs on culture, morality, and rules can they obtain practical benefits; then, what is the motive force for the rich to move toward culture? There is the factor of vanity consumption, but at the same time, it is also the product of an unbalanced environment, and it is of little significance to blindly blame the rich without solving the fundamental problem of the general environment. ”

Wang Tianming's lips moved, and he was speaking, and Bian Xuedao continued: "Culture, like innovation, can only be reaped with perseverance and continuous investment, which is a long-term effect." But for enterprises, if there is no good environment, no matter how big it is, it may fall down at any time, if there is always an idle hand, in the arms of enterprises and entrepreneurs, if the protection of intellectual property rights is not effective, piracy is everywhere, then, why invest for tomorrow? Why innovation? Why benefit others? No culture is not the fault of the rich, only copycat other people's products are not all the fault of enterprises, these should start from the general environment, need to provide more effective protection at the institutional level. ”

Since he has already opened his mouth, Bian Xuedao is not ready to let go of Wang Tianming, and he will see each other in the future, which is true, but he is not ready to meet Wang Tianming again at all: "There is some righteous indignation, saying some angry words, in fact, it is nothing, but it is useless." What's more, many people in this society scold corrupt officials every day, turn around and apply for civil servants, scold social unfairness every day, and once they join vested interest groups, they immediately swear to defend the rules they once cursed and shameless, look down on the virtues of the rich every day, and then buy lottery tickets on the way from work...... I just said Liu Yuxi because I think that in today's society, there are very few people who dare to say 'Si is a humble room but Wu Dexin', almost nothing. Isn't it funny for a person to be critical of the virtues of others all day long, if his own virtue itself is not enough?"

Wang Tianming finally came back to his senses, adjusted his sitting posture, and asked Bian Xuedao: "Bian is always very eloquent, I don't know what kind of education he is?

Bian Xuedao said calmly: "Undergraduate, I haven't stayed in school." ”

Wang Tianming felt that he had pulled back a game, and said jokingly: "I have taught almost 20 undergraduates, and I have also led several batches of master's and doctoral degrees, and undergraduates...... It's also an intellectual. ”

Bian Xuedao smiled: "Don't dare to be an intellectual." ”

Wang Tianming said: "Han Yu's poetry - life is in ten thousand categories, and knowledge is the most virtuous. Knowledge in the broad sense is divided into four types according to content: knowledge about 'knowing what' and the number of facts, knowledge about 'knowing why', which records theories about the principles and laws of nature and society, knowledge about 'knowing how', which refers to the practical skills and experience of a certain type of work, and knowledge about 'knowing who', which refers to information about who knows what, who knows why, and who knows how. ”

Wang Tianming is a university professor, he dropped his book bag, and he never convinces people by spelling out definitional memories, and he was defeated by Bian Xuedao just now, and he immediately found a way to fight back.

Pan Zhongfu looked at Wang Tianming, Zhu Zhichun, and Bian Xuedao, and sighed in his heart: No matter, let them compete.

Wang Tianming gently turned the water cup with his hand and said: "If the word knowledge is understood according to this definition, then intellectuals should be a class that has mastered knowledge, and when translated into English, it should be knowledgeable-people." In ancient Chinese, in fact, there was originally a word that specifically referred to a person with knowledge, that is, a scholar, one of the four people of Shinong, industry and commerce, and modern bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees should all belong to the intellectual class. If you graduated from a bachelor's degree, if there is no punishment and you get a certificate, you should be a bachelor's degree, so you should be worthy of the four words intellectual, don't be modest. ”

Before Wang Tianming, who was full of confidence, leaned his back on the back of the chair, he said directly: "It's not right for you to say that." ”

Immediately, the whole table was drunk!

has a good meal, these two people can't stop fighting verbally. Meng Yinyun gently kicked Zhu Zhichun under the table, and Zhu Zhichun stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite of food to Meng Yinyun, during which he gave a "It's okay" look.

Bian Xuedao looked at Wang Tianming and said: "Teacher Wang, since you are a teacher, you should have a lot of dictionary pages, so may I ask Teacher Wang, in the Chinese-English dictionary, is it really knowledgeable-people that corresponds to intellectuals?"

Wang Tianming was speechless for a while, and Pei Tong couldn't help but interject and said: "The word corresponding to intellectuals in the Chinese-English dictionary is intellectuals. ”

Bian Xuedao turned his head and said to Pei Tong, "Thank you." ”

Looking at Wang Tianming, he continued to talk eloquently: "Secretly replacing intellectuals with knowledgeable-people is a misinterpretation and a kind of regression. ”

Zhu Zhichun became interested and asked, "How do you say this?"

Bian Xuedao said: "If intellectuals are knowledgeable-people, then the necessary condition for being an intellectual is to have a strong memory, which is also the focus of Chinese-style education for thousands of years.

asked and answered himself, full of aura, and everyone present felt the confidence of Bian Xuedao.

Drop the book bag?

It's like heaven has a way for you not to go, and hell has no door for you to break into.

With the exception of particularly diligent librarians and full-time newspaper commentators, few have a better perspective than the obligatory newspaper reviewer, especially now in 2006, when he was eight years ahead of his time.

At this time, Wang Tianming couldn't answer, because he had to wait for Bian Xuedao to say why knowledgeable-people were not intellectuals, so that he could find an opportunity to refute.

Bian Xuedao continued: "An intellectual should be a person who has the ability to research, think, and reason, and can ask and answer questions in various fields. It is true that Bacon said that 'knowledge is power', but we must not forget Albert Einstein's famous saying that 'imagination is more important than knowledge'. The total number of scientific and technological workers in China exceeds 20 million, ranking first in the world, but there has not been a single Nobel laureate so far. In today's China, there are countless knowledgeable-people who are rich and rich, with doctors, masters, and bachelor's degrees flying all over the sky, but there are very few intellectuals who are talented, and there is a lack of inventors, innovators, and thinkers with independent opinions. ”

"That's why I say that people who get a doctorate are no longer enough to be considered intellectuals, and even university professors are not necessarily intellectuals......

When Bian Xuedao said this, Wang Tianming's face turned red all of a sudden, and Pei Tong looked at the teacher nervously, feeling like he was afraid that he would flip the table on the spot.

Taking his eyes off Wang Tianming, Bian Xuedao said: "As for scientists, they can only be regarded as intellectuals under limited conditions. A true intellectual should not only be a person who reads a lot, but also has an independent spirit and original ability in his heart, he must pursue ideas for the sake of ideas, and he should be a person who lives by thinking. In addition, the intellectual must be a critic of his society and an opponent of existing values, criticizing his society and opposing existing values. ”

"A person who does not doubt and criticize popular opinions, existing customs, and unwittingly recognized values is nothing more than a living bookcase, even if he reads a lot. From this point of view, all of you here, only Mr. Wang, who is a disadvantage of the times, is worthy of the four words intellectual. ”

Wang Tianming, who was sitting on the chair, his face was blue and red for a while, he suddenly got up, picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, and brushed his sleeves away.

When Pei Tong saw it, he got up and said "I'm sorry" and chased him out. Pan Zhongfu glanced at the secretary, and the secretary chased him out.

Looking at the secretary's back, Pan Zhongfu turned around and said with a smile: "Professor Wang is a scholar, don't be surprised. ”

Bian Xuedao said: "I was on the debate team in college, and I couldn't hold back when I met a good opponent, so Mr. Pan went back to help me apologize to Mr. Wang." ”

Pan Zhongfu said: "Wrap me." ”

Outside the restaurant, separated from Pan Zhongfu, Zhu Zhichun asked Bian Xuedao: "You were really a debate team in college?"

Bian Xuedao patted his chest and said, "If it's fake, I'm still on the school team......"

……

After a few days in Bordeaux, Pan Zhongfu's château was not bought.

One is that he has a high vision, and the few that he likes are too expensive. The second is that the intermediary told him that investing in a Bordeaux château is not so simple, which not only requires the investor to go through detailed research in advance, but also requires the investor to have 12 points of patience, because usually, the seller still has a series of procedures to go, and it often takes 6 months to complete a Bordeaux château acquisition plan.

6 months ...... The daylilies are cold.

Pan Zhongfu bought the winery to avenge his revenge, and after 6 months, it will not be easy to get the classmates together, and then maybe everyone will forget about this stubble, so why should he expose his scars?

And calm down and think about it carefully, investing in a winery is not a small risk, at least in the eyes of Pan Zhongfu. Because he started by selling health care products, he made quick money and made slow money all the way, which he didn't like.

Pan Zhongfu stopped buying the winery, and Pei Tong was unemployed, and before she lost her job, she had to go to an intermediary for Pan Zhongfu to help him revoke his willingness to buy.

In the intermediary, Pei Tong met Bian Xuedao, who made Teacher Wang angry at the dinner table.

This time Bian Xuedao is alone.
