Chapter 3: The Hardships of Life
A wise man, a good listener; A clever man, good at telling.
While talking and listening, I gradually became acquainted, and the topic began to deepen.
Li Qing talked about his life experience, the embarrassment of not being able to find a job after graduation, the incident of being forced to write and cheating money, and his experience of hitting the street again and again;
And this family also told about their family experience, the middle-aged man named An Xiaoquan.
An Xiaoquan, the manager of a pharmaceutical company, is in charge of drug sales, and is considered a middle class.
In the past few years, the pharmaceutical industry has been booming, and the overall market is good; The company has developed some new health care products, and the business is good, and it has made a lot of money.
It's just that since the year before last, Donghua has ushered in an economic crisis, the economic situation is seriously sluggish, many customers have reduced consumption, the pharmaceutical industry is sluggish, and now he is in a state of semi-unemployment.
"Our company, on the National Day, engages in drug promotion; It's also on Double Eleven, Double Twelve, etc., and there are continuous promotional activities, and many health care products are continuously carried, but a lot of them have been sold. It's just that after the promotion ends, it immediately falls back again! Lighting a cigarette and spitting out the clouds, Manager An said faintly.
"In normal years, I don't blink my eyes on health care products for a few hundred yuan a month, but now I am reluctant to spend them. I also asked some old customers, and they all said that they had no money, and they were reluctant to spend it if they had money, so they wanted to help their sons and daughters! ”
"It's still that our young people are unproductive, and they are all gnawing old people!"
Li Qing smiled bitterly: "I don't have the ability either, I didn't choose a good major when I first chose it, I chose the financial industry, and after a few years of mixing, I realized that it was all a pit." When I went to college, I went to school for a few years in vain, and I regret it when I think about it. After graduation, I didn't mix well again, so I could only rely on my parents to ............"
"In recent years, the house has become more and more expensive, and many people who have an expensive house can't afford it in their lifetime, but the more so, the more the mother-in-law values the house, and if you don't have a house, you don't marry your daughter, so no matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it!" Manager An said.
"I still don't have the ability, I can't break through the sky, and I can't live forever. No matter how expensive the house is, there are still people who can afford it, but I don't have the ability! Li Qing said.
If you don't have the ability, don't complain about the bad society.
The world is like this, if you are poor, you will be rich, and if you have the ability, you will earn money to marry a daughter-in-law, even if it is three wives and four concubines, no one will say that there are two rooms and three concubines; If you don't have the ability, you can only be poor and starving, that's all!
And the reason why this manager An complained was just because he had no ability.
Just like in a slave society, many people oppose slavery, not because slavery is evil, but because they can't be slave owners;
Many people hate the rich, not because they resent the rich for being unkind, but because they can't be rich.
"Don't talk about that, drink!"
Manager An said.
"I can't drink much!" Li Qing drank the beer and said.
"Good boy, if you don't eat or drink, you save money!" Manager An said.
"What a good boy, Hitter Le one! This can save a few bucks, or make more money! Li Qing said, "I knew that the finance department was so bleak, it was better to learn gardening, plant flowers and trees, and become a farmer." The peasants in the countryside do not worry about eating and drinking, and they eat better than the people in the city; It's also low consumption, and you can build a house at will, and it doesn't cost much! ”
Saying that, saying that, Li Qing just regretted it.
Regret not being a farmer!
There are all kinds of disadvantages of being a farmer, but being a farmer will never be unemployed, and there will never be a need to be frightened and insecure.
Manager An said: "In this world, there are only three types of people who mix well, one is a good baby, a good father, and a deep family background, as long as they are not too losers, most of them are not too bad; One is that they are particularly related, have connections, will behave in the world, and rely on connections to eat; The third category is senior technicians, as well as those high-tech talents. ”
"High-tech talents, relying on technology to eat, this one is not good, change to one. And those senior technicians are even more precious, after all, high-tech, staying on the drawings, is not high-tech, just on paper. Only when it is put into practice and turned into reality is it high-tech. ”
"These two types of people have a hard foundation, as the so-called is that there is no master here, there is a place to keep the master, and it is difficult to keep the master everywhere."
"Relying on dad to eat, relying on connections to eat, relying on technology to eat, these three types of people mix well. As for the rest, most of them are insecure and facing unemployment at any time, or are already unemployed. For example, you are currently unemployed, and I am about to lose my job! ”
With that, taking a sip of wine, Manager An continued.
"You are not married, you are not afraid of being unemployed, you are fed alone, and the whole family is not hungry; And I am old and young, unemployment is a trouble, although there is insurance, but insurance ......"
If you don't say it, it's enough, just say a handful of bitter tears.
It's not easy to be alive.
"Insurance, insurance. Young people think about adventure, older people think about insurance. The more developed an insurance industry is, the more the economy lacks vitality, and the more it is facing decline. ”
Li Qing said, "Today, in terms of GDP, Donghua is the second in the world. In terms of economic model, it is a smile model, Donghua relies on innate advantages to control standards, technology, and brands, and you have mastered both ends of this arc, and the middle section of production is handed over to the Great Lakes countries and European countries, occupying the majority of profits. ”
"It's just that you can occupy both ends, essentially gnawing at the old book! I have an old book to gnaw on, so I naturally think about a safe way and insurance, and I don't want to take risks......"
Just saying, Li Qing closed his mouth.
"I'm just a grass guy who says this is. These are still the thoughts of officials, even if tomorrow is the end of the world, it is also the thinking of officials, and I think about it in vain! ”
The ass determines the head, and how much ability determines how much responsibility.
Talking about the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, it is just the disease-free moaning of the literati.
Whether it is a rebellion or a revolution in the past dynasties, it is just a struggle between the superiors, what to do with the grass people, pay taxes as they should pay, suffer as they should suffer, and use them as cannon fodder as cannon fodder.
The rise and fall of the world, the emperor is the mainstay, the elite is secondary, and the grass people only need to play the role of cannon fodder, which is enough.
When it is really necessary for the puppet to take responsibility, then it is not far from the destruction of the country.
At that time, the puppet took on the responsibility, and it was also in vain, and the building was about to fall, and it was difficult to support it alone!
Don't you see, the moment when someone shouts out that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband is already the most tragic era when he has the intention to kill the thief and has no power to return to the sky!
