Your efforts determine where your child sits!
A piece of news about the marriage of a coal boss in Jin Province made headlines in Sohu and was quickly watched by tens of millions of netizens???? Huo Ran?Wen ????? .?
Tens of millions of Maybach out-of-print wedding cars, Jincheng A88888, hundreds of wedding cars in the team of the world's three top luxury cars, all license plates with serial numbers 8, the lineup is so strong that millions of BMW Mercedes-Benz can only be placed in the back to do miscellaneous.
As for the news that the three founders of SOHU donated $2,000 to the LJ Foundation, even if SOHU is their own website, it was placed at the end of the social news section by those unscrupulous editors, which did not attract more netizens.
Gilded Age!
Li Jiaming, who was sitting in his wife's office eating a boxed lunch, said this, arousing the curiosity of several young people who were discussing the lavish wedding.
"The richest man in Li, we don't read much, explain and explain?"
"Haven't seen The Gilded Age?"
It really didn't, a few young people who ate the same box lunch got together, and after a few months of getting along, they overcame their initial awe and began to treat the boss's husband as a jack of all trades. In fact, the diploma and knowledge of others are indeed enough to teach them.
Simply told the story, Li Jiaming, who can already stand and speak without backache, sighed: ""The Gilded Age" is not so much a social investigation report. It exposed and criticized the reality of life in American society during this period from several aspects: corruption, opportunism, and ingenious plundering, as well as the noise and miasma of making a fortune in society. ”
This was said very politely, and several young people who were newborn calves were not afraid of tigers immediately remembered the current society: the rapid economic development has not brought about the people's living and working in peace and contentment, clear water and blue sky, and a large number of floating people have moved to the city to work, resulting in an increase in the city's operating load, and air, water, and noise pollution can be seen everywhere; there is a mismatch between workers' income security and economic development, and the food safety problem is extremely serious; the phenomenon of collusion between officials and businessmen is frequent; and the anxiety of the people at the bottom and the impetuous mentality of society are increasing.
"Stop!"
Li Jiaming immediately stopped them from continuing, and said very seriously: "Everyone, eleven years ago, I personally dismissed seven reporters from SOHU, and I don't want to let Sasha dismiss you. ”
Ah, several young people were stunned, and only hesitated for a while: "Dong Li, what do you mean?"
"You can't change the world, so you have to adapt and encourage you."
"But"
This is not a joke, they are small people who say a few words too much and nothing is elegant, but behind their husbands are tens of thousands of subordinates, and they must be cautious in everything they say and do. At that time, Sitong Company was not very popular, but its founder had been in exile in France for nearly 20 years and could not return to China.
Liu Shasha, who knew the severity of it, had a pretty face, and said sharply: "It's nothing, if you want to be a shouter, then don't stay in the company anymore." If you don't have that courage, then don't make irresponsible remarks, Jiaming is not you, there are tens of thousands of people pointing to him to start work and support his family!"
"I'm sorry"
People who are crushed by life, no wonder they say that their generation is the beat generation, Li Jiaming picked up the soup bowl and explained: "If you are light and mislead the country, you will not believe that today's America is the future of yesterday's America." In a word, the road is tortuous, but the future is bright!"
"Really?"
Fake, people who haven't been rich in the past 30 years will find it difficult to get rich in the future, at most they will get rich. With the development of the economy, the people's lives have indeed been greatly improved, but all social strata will also tend to solidify, and it will be a society of fighting for fathers in the future.
Liu Shasha, who has seen American-style democracy and the American dream, was silent, and the news, as soon as I saw the title, I knew that it was the handwriting of the editor-in-chief Chen Tong, which seemed to be admiring the luxury of the rich, but in fact it was an allusion to the impetuousness and exaggeration of today's society.
"Hehe, you think too highly of him", and when a few young people left, Li Jiaming said with emotion: "Lao Chen has changed a long time ago, you look at the news reports of sohu in recent years, basically whitewashing the peace and catering to netizens." ”
Thinking about the news reports I have seen on SOHU in the past few months, and comparing them with the previous SOHU, Liu Shasha regretted: "Yes. ”
"Hey, Jiaming, what will happen in the future?"
"Spell Daddy".
"Your efforts determine where the child sits?"
After thinking for a while, Liu Shasha retorted: "It's not right, don't you have Silicon Valley heroes in California?"
"Hehe, you only see a few people, not hundreds of thousands of programmers. If you count down from Microsoft to Cisco to Yahoo, how many of the founders are really poor children? At least they are all middle class, and there are no people from the bottom of the society who can enter the upper class. Oh, except for sports and entertainment, but the entertainment industry is even darker!"
In this way, Liu Shasha also echoed: "Sports can't be counted, most stars will go bankrupt, as if within five years after retirement, right?"
To put it this way, even those Hollywood stars can't be counted as high society, and Li Jiaming has not seen the cruelty of Hollywood. The only people who can really be called the upper class are the business and political circles, and even the outstanding people in the academic circles are just passers-by of the upper class, and the descendants cannot be as good as them, and they will be excluded within a few decades.
"So what is high society?"
The topic is heavy, according to the media: the upper class is thoughtful, moral, and knowledgeable. People who are willing to contribute to the spiritual and material world of humanity. They are at the forefront of the industry, not asking for returns but seeking the realization of self-worth. Maybe poor, maybe rich, but they all have a belief that they are willing to sacrifice themselves at any time for the sake of faith.
But that's a piece of high-sounding bullshit! The person who said that was either in his brain or speaking bullshit with a clear conscience.
After a moment of silence, Li Jiaming said gloomily: "The upper class is the 500 privileged families, they are the real powerful, standing at the top of the food chain, just like the guy who married his daughter, wanting him to go bankrupt is just an official document." ”
Also silent for a moment, Liu Shasha whispered: "Jiaming, send Wanwan out of the country."
Yes, flowers are not red for a hundred days, people are good for a thousand days, and when their husband and wife come back, they must put a person abroad. Xiaomei is not that material, and she can hide herself from Lao Zhang, and their Wanwan who asks for red envelopes can be considered.
"It's just a little younger."
This matter does not allow Jia Ming to be soft-hearted, not to mention the things in the shopping mall, Shan Dad's career is also sinister, and it has not been a few years since Vice Governor Hu of the province was shot.
"What's small, let her be with the fourth sister-in-law, with Fenhua and the fourth sister-in-law watching, are you afraid that she will turn the sky upside down?"
Thinking of the calligrapher he met with Minister Sun before going abroad, Li Jiaming also nodded again and again, as far as his little is concerned, not to mention that there are almost all people at his level, at least 80% of the people have it, not to mention that all kinds of high-level private clubs are leading cadres. But he was killed because he didn't commit a big crime, which shows the danger of officialdom.
