Chapter 48: Thoughtlessness
Li Huayong left the construction site and strolled through the streets of Pengcheng.
Strictly speaking, it is not appropriate to use the word "strolling on the streets", and now Pengcheng can't find much "street" feeling at all. In particular, Shekou, where Li Huayong is now located, is still a small fishing village at all, except for the industrial park, and at best it is a "urban-rural junction".
"Walking through the streets" and "walking through the urban-rural area" will of course be two different feelings, which will make people feel different.
Just like Li Huayong's mood now.
Since the crossing, Li Huayong has been running at high speed like a spinning top, he has been rotating in a row throughout the construction site, and he has been rotating in front of others and behind him. He didn't stop for a moment, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment. Now, with the pile finished and the money in hand, Li Huayong finally felt that he could relax a little and think about other problems.
Among them, Li Huayong believes that the most important thing is to think about how he should take the road in the future. In other words, Li Huayong decided to think about life, find ideals, clarify a goal, and establish the direction of the next action.
Li Huayong often jokingly thinks that it may be due to the problem of our Chinese education, many people have written too many essays such as "my ideal" in primary and secondary schools, which leads many people to disdain "thinking about life" when they grow up, thinking that this kind of thing is too naïve, thinking that this is something that only primary and secondary school students should do.
This is indeed a very regrettable thing, but is it important to "think about life"? Li Huayong believes that it is very important. But is this kind of thing "thinking about life" something that primary and middle school students can do? Li Huayong believes that they can't do it at all. In other words, Li Huayong believes that at that stage of life, it is not the time to "think about life" at all.
In his previous life, Li Huayong was a Go enthusiast, and he thought that "thinking about life" was like the "layout" in Go. And those who know a little bit about Go know that the vast majority of young chess players, their layout level is not much higher. Even if this is a talented person, even if his level is already very high, it is higher than other places, and it is difficult to excel in the "layout".
This is the truth of chess, why is this not the truth of life?
Everyone knows the importance of "layout" in playing chess. And what about such a thing as "thinking about life"? "Thinking about life" is not something you did when you were young, so when is the most suitable time to "think about life"? Li Huayong thinks that it is at this time that he is now.
Especially if you are still a traverser, then at such a juncture, it is even more necessary to plan your future life at this time.
Before Li Huayong "thinks about life", the first thing that needs to be clear is that Li Huayong himself is reluctant to cross his own. He is not like some of his peers, who are excited and proud after the crossing.
Although Li Huayong was not a very successful successful person in his previous life, let alone a "winner in life", he was more than enough than the above, his career was quite successful, and his family was quite happy. Now, the good "Deputy Chief Engineer Li" has become a farmer, a peasant contract worker in this era. The huge contrast once made Li Huayong's mood very low. Not to mention that compared with other travel peers, I can do it again with the golden key, even if I am reborn as a young self, now I have to do something about soul grabbing, and I have become someone else inexplicably, not to mention, I am many years older.
You must know that at this time in his previous life, Li Huayong was still in elementary school and was enjoying the warmth of his family and the fun of his childhood. Where should it be like now, fighting for food and clothing on the construction site.
Of course, Li Huayong was unhappy, but he was not very resistant to the "crossing" itself. Although he is a few years older, after all, he has become younger, and in a person's life, can there be any more valuable wealth than being "young"? No matter what others think, Li Huayong thinks that there is none.
Not only is "youth" a kind of wealth, but "crossing" itself is also a kind of wealth. In Li Huayong's mind, crossing is actually a huge cheat, an infinite golden finger, and this is simply a wealth on the same level as "youth."
With these two kinds of wealth, of course Li Huayong is embarrassed to continue to be hypocritical, of course he has to thank God for treating him well. Especially after earning the first pot of gold, with more than 200,000 yuan in his arms----- which is more than 200,000 yuan in China in the 80s of the 20th century, Li Huayong of course has to think about his life and plan his future path. "Successful people" must be be, and "life winners" are no longer a problem...
It's just a pity that just when Li Huayong was about to "think about life", he had just started and he found that something was wrong.
Because Li Huayong suddenly discovered: At his current stage, the so-called "golden finger" has no effect at all.
"Damn, those grandchildren aren't all going to be blinding me, right? . . At this time, Li Huayong couldn't help but curse his predecessors.
Is it a golden finger? Yes, is that a golden finger that can be used by anyone? Not necessarily!
When will a cheat appear?
It can happen at any time, but the least likely is at the beginning of the crossing!
This is the problem that Li Huayong encountered when he first began to "think about life". This is the realization that Li Huayong has just generated, this is the truth that he has just understood, so he is very unhappy now, he feels that he has thought about the problem too simply, and he has been fooled by his peers.
Let's take the first pot of gold that Li Huayong just earned, does it have the role of a "golden finger"? No.
In addition to his rich professional knowledge, Li Huayong only admits that there is a lot of luck in it, if it is not for all kinds of coincidences and various factors together, it is difficult for him to make so much money.
Of course, Li Huayong automatically ignored such a thing as "luck"---- who has ever seen that kind of traverser with very bad luck? I'm afraid no one has ever seen it, since no one has seen it, then we can regard this kind of thing as "luck" as the welfare of the traverser and a natural bonus for everyone.
But even with such benefits, Li Huayong thinks that it is usually difficult for traversers to use any gold fingers when they earn their first pot of gold. This is the understanding that Li Huayong has just generated. Moreover, Li Huayong believes that such an understanding is very important for his next "thinking about life". This is simply a programmatic idea for planning your own future path.
If there is no such understanding, then what "successful people", what "life winners", everything is likely to be just illusory, and he is likely to become the most failed traverser in history, and will be ridiculed by all his traversal colleagues.
The reason why Li Huayong thinks this way is because he just thought of a very strange question, and he made a hypothesis: Suppose there is another traverser, he fell into the same situation as Li Huayong a few months ago, so at this time, what is the most likely situation of this traverser?
Li Huayong believes that the most likely scenario is that this traverser is still working as a "laborer" on the construction site.
Speaking of which, some people may be unconvinced, aren't you Li Huayong just a student of architecture? Aren't you just landing on a construction site to make you earn the first pot of gold, what's the big deal about this, maybe other people have other skills and can make other money in other fields...
Of course, Li Huayong could not refute such words. He just wanted to emphasize that anyone's first pot of gold, whether that person is an ordinary person or a traverser, is usually the most difficult to cut corners for.
For example, Li Huayong in this era, what yen has exploded and Microsoft is rising, will Li Huayong not know? But can Li Huayong profit from it? What about your channels? What about your capital?
Can Li Huayong not know about the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Gulf crisis? But he dares to get involved?
Can Li Huayong remember how many classic film and television works in later generations? But are you sure that Xing Ye's "Journey to the West" is also a classic in this era? How many of your classic songs can be more classic than Miss Teresa Teng's songs?
And what is Miss Teresa Teng's song called in this era: the sound of glamour.
Let's not mention these lofty things, let's just say that Pengcheng, where Li Huayong is now, if you resell some electronic watches, toad mirrors and other things in the mainland at this time, it is a very good way to make money. But are you sure you won't be caught? Don't forget, there are still "opportunistic crimes" in these days.
Li Huayong aimlessly circled outside the Shekou Industrial Park, and as his thinking diverged, as all kinds of cranky thoughts emerged one after another, the more Li Huayong thought about it, the more irritated he became, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became.
It turned out that after doing it for a long time, even if he was a traverser, he didn't have much chance to open a golden finger. Your life plan still cannot be divorced from reality, and you must honestly follow the reality of the situation.
Just as Li Huayong readjusted his thinking and was about to make a practical life plan, a white Mercedes-Benz stopped beside him, and Lin Wei poked his head out of the car.
What made Li Huayong a little strange was that this time he rarely saw a smile on Lin Wei's face, and Lin Wei was looking at him with a smile:
"Engineer Li, what are you thinking?"
