Chapter 57: Awe
Lin Yan and Kagawa boss had an in-depth discussion about the issue of electric batons. The drunken people were paralyzed there, as if neither of them had forgotten.
Originally, Lin Yan didn't look down on the small amount of money from the production of electric batons. However, today is not the same as yesterday. Things are always evolving, and he is about to lose his position in the video game league, and he is about to be kicked out of the video game circle, and now he is finally officially doing the electric batons.
To put it simply, this thing can be used as a personal self-defense weapon. At best, it can also be a riot control weapon for the police. How can there be no market? The market is bound to be huge.
The reason why Lin Yan didn't look down on him before was nothing more than that he was blinded by the big cake of video games. I can't see much.
Just like he threw the idea of a card game to Yuki Chiba as if he didn't want money. However, card games are undoubtedly more viable than video games at this stage.
Video games, in today's view, are a completely new thing. People receive baptism that takes time. Card games, on the other hand, are completely different.
This thing has been popular for at least a few hundred years. The launch of a new card game is nothing more than a new way to play. But the whole way of interacting, with the whole framework. Compared to before, there is not much difference. It's easy to pick up, and if the game it carries is interesting, it can quickly become popular.
If it can be like something like mahjong or flower cards, it will always exist and flourish forever. It's not sure that a new gaming culture will be formed.
Just like mahjong culture and flower card culture, there may be many people who specialize in the culture of "Destiny Games" in the future.
After a few decades, when these people get old, they don't play mahjong together, but play cards together.
Another example is Go, to put it bluntly, isn't it also a game? The kind of chess player who can be regarded as the emperor's teacher, looking at it from the perspective of the twentieth century. It's probably the level of the strongest king for a few seasons.
With this kind of strong strength, of course, he can become the emperor's teacher. But, to put it bluntly, this kind of teacher. and the teacher who taught the emperor to train birds and dogs, they are all the same, not too much different.
It hurts, perhaps, but when you think about it, it's so. What are the duties of being an emperor? It is to make the life of the people under his rule better. Rule the land of his chief.
Then it becomes, whether it's Go, or mahjong, or flowers and plants, it's just a gadget that cultivates sentiment after work.
If you really think these things are too sacred, they will die.
Lin Yan and Boss Kagawa were chatting happily, and Daddy Lin came back from outside the house, and he carried a few more wine bottles and looked at the few people who were slumped on the table. In a very disdainful tone, he said, "Coward! I can't drink alcohol, so what are you young people doing? ”
Daddy Lin's performance, in fact, Lin Yan was a little blushing, to be precise, he felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was chatting and laughing with Boss Kagawa here, and he was very happy.
And when Daddy Lin came in, he brought the quality of this conversation a few notches lower.
Fortunately, Daddy Lin didn't tell Lin Yan. When I was talking and laughing with someone, this little boss of Kagawa didn't know where it was.
However, although Daddy Lin didn't say that, he said something else. He said. "Hey! Are you new here? Do you want to take two sips? ”
Daddy Lin's state, described as a blushing face and a thick neck, is almost the same. Generally speaking, people who drink alcohol and blush are real people.
Of course, Daddy Lin is also a real person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take these guys in front of him. The drunken inverted and crooked ones have become what they are now. I'm still going out to buy alcohol.
Boss Kagawa didn't say anything, but Lin Yan was a little scared. If this daddy drinks the boss of Kagawa down. It doesn't matter if the business of electric batons is still talked about or not, the key thing is that if he is upside down, wouldn't these people be here, and no one will leave.
This smell of wine is something that Lin Yan actually doesn't like. He couldn't stand it, let so many people sleep in his house for one night.
Just when Boss Kagawa was about to fight, Lin Yan stopped his raised hand. With a smile, he moved Boss Kagawa's body to a place not far away and said, "Boss Kagawa, look, this is the high-pressure bag in the electric baton, with this thing." The electricity in the electric baton went up with a 'whoosh'. ”
Actually, Lin Yandu showed these things to Boss Kagawa just now. The boss of Kagawa also understood what Lin Yan meant by pulling him over, the drunkard didn't mean to drink, he cared about not letting him drink.
Boss Kagawa is also a reasonable person, and he knows that his subordinates and these young men who came all the way from Taiwan have caused Lin Yan a lot of trouble. He said, "Then I'll pick them up now, electric batons, as long as you are free that day, I will come to negotiate with you." ”
"Definitely! Certain! Lin Yan glanced back at the father who was holding the wine bottle and blowing it to his mouth, and held the hand of the boss of Kagawa tightly, this is a good comrade. A good comrade who will not be knocked down by the alcoholic cannonballs of capitalism.
Lin Yan smelled the smell of exhaust and waved away the Kagawa boss, just like those women in North Korea sent the People's Liberation Army. Turning around and entering the house, Daddy Lin sat there alone and continued to drink.
"Stop drinking, go to sleep." Lin Yan took the wine bottle off his father's hand, then shook him and said.
"Drink! Sleep! Sleep? What to sleep? Drink a little more and ...... while it's still early Son...... Would you like to try it...... Forget it, I won't give you a drink, minors can't drink. ”
Daddy Lin drank a little too much, and he spoke very aggressively, but there was a string in his head that was tight, that is, he didn't let Lin Yan drink.
However, although I don't have to drink now. But look at it this way. The day he becomes an adult, he will definitely be poured down to death by his father.
Well! Definitely. Lin Yan still understands his father's virtues well, and he can keep my pulse alive.
"Stop drinking, go to sleep, be good~" Lin Yan coaxed Daddy Lin.
"Nope! Don't sleep, just drink. "Daddy Lin is very stubborn, as if he can't bend or something. Not cute at all.
If this is placed in the current 80s, if you want to be like your father, you want money but no money, you want no face, you want charm but not charm, you will definitely not find a partner.
After all. Times are evolving, and everything is looking forward.
Speaking of money, Lin Yan is not a local tyrant now. Although he is very valuable, but. He didn't have any cash. Calculating the worth, yes, the equity owned by this person, the house, and other messy things are all counted together.
In other words, Lin Yan's current state. It's an empty mountain of gold, but there's not a penny in your pocket. In his state, it is estimated that he will not be able to soak in his little sister.
Because, like talent and pregnancy, it takes a long time to see it. And Lin Yan, a guy who is dressed all over the street and can't see any style, who will take a fancy to him.
However, having said that, Lin Yan didn't need a girlfriend that much. Men, at a young age. It's better to struggle. Girls or something, just put it in the back and look for it.
If you have money, what school do you want to find, and what kind of education does the girl have.
It is not impossible to even talk about philosophy while taking a mandarin duck bath.
Lin Yan couldn't persuade his father, and Lin Yan's mother also came down from upstairs. Seeing Daddy Lin who was drinking, she smiled at Lin Yan and shook her head. It means don't bother him anymore.
"Let him drink, it's fine. He drank it and fell asleep. He was pleased. After a rare moment of joy, let him drink well. After all, after all this time, he was also quite lonely. ”
Mother Lin said slowly.
She's the kind of person who doesn't have a sense of existence. Even if Lin Yan lives under the same roof with her, he often doesn't feel her existence. It's like in this house, there are only two people, him and Daddy Lin.
Lin Fuzhi is lonely, Lin Yan doesn't know. Perhaps, like those men his age. Encountered a midlife crisis.
His career is not going well, and his children do not listen to him. There are still many contradictions within the family. It feels like the whole world is working against you.
Every man of this age will feel this way to a greater or lesser extent. Because, this is a very normal stage of life.
When I was a teenager, I thought I was unparalleled in the world, and my passionate impulse, which was rare in the world, had completely dissipated. knows that he is just an ordinary person, and he can only live an ordinary life. With ordinary rhythms, ordinary swings. But it's not as good as others are swinging.
Very heartache is not! Do you have!
Lin Yan doesn't know if his father will one day start to actively buy health care products. and the person on the other end of the phone, who has never met in person, and can only hear the voice, tell all his things.
Some people are strong, but they are actually weak. Some people are cold, but really lonely.
Lin Yan often felt lonely, especially after he was reborn. This feeling is especially noticeable.
Because, for him, life is like a net from which there is no escape. This web is made up of little by little interpersonal relationships. And after he was reborn, was the original body's interpersonal relationship really his interpersonal relationship?
He felt like a parasite, living in an otherwise healthy body. Using someone else's identity to do someone else's business.
Everything seems to be visible to the eye, and the wisps of smoke that will disperse when you catch it. It seems real, but it doesn't feel very real.
Lin Yan has always been a child from the bottom of his heart, which can be seen from his love of games.
Actually, he doesn't like to make video game consoles. He doesn't like to get into a fight with business people, and he doesn't like to see people grieving. However, there are so many things in the world that he can't decide.
Some are happy, and some are sad. It's like playing a game. The winning side is always happy, while the losing side is always unwilling.
This is how the world is, and it seems to be beautiful. But tearing off its gorgeous coat, everything inside is really not too beautiful.
There are many people who praise the political system of the West, how advanced and how good it is. However, this seemingly advanced system has only been established for a long time. Hundreds of years? Has it been to the millennia? Absolutely nothing.
Just like human beings, there are births, old age, sickness and death. Everything in this world has its life cycle. One day the sun will burn out and the earth will stop.
And the political system, which is in its prime, is when it is at its most beautiful. Waiting for everything to be old, how can there be so many things that look beautiful and can't be good.
Talking about the American Dream with people of color living in the slums of the United States, what is their American Dream? Eat and dress warmly and have a car to drive?
Talking about the American Dream with white people living in middle-class environments in the United States, what is their American Dream? Don't beg on the streets after retirement?
No country, no matter how advanced its political system is. As long as it exists for a long time, there will be all kinds of problems.
For example, class solidification. Lao Tzu is a hero, and the son inherits his father's business. This kind of thing is not unique to Eastern countries. The father of a super-rich man in the United States can use money to put his son on the presidency. And the son who ascended to the presidency can use his position to give back to the family.
Isn't this a class solidification?
It's like the father of a certain president said, the money I spend on this kid, even if it is spent on a dog, can be president.
Lin Yan is just a little person with a small nose and small eyes. He can't control the endless problems in this world. There is very little he can do, only to empower more people to be happy.
Why do children in the slums always prefer to play soccer rather than in the rich areas? It is undeniable that playing football can indeed bring them joy, but more importantly, it can change the fate of these slum children.
Even if he doesn't become a big star who stands up to the sky, makes opponents fearful, and lives in the spotlight all day long. Even if you are a last-rate player, after retiring, being a coach is enough to support your family.
But what is the essence of football? Is it sports? Is it sports?
No, it's not, they're just a form of entertainment.
In a football stadium similar to the Colosseum, there are no bloody fights, there are duels of skill and body. However, they are playing to the death, not just to entertain the audience on stage. For those in peripheral casinos, look for a reason to open.
This world is so ruthless. A small person in the slums, no matter how hard he struggles, becomes a big star. It's just a football star, a performer for people to enjoy.
This statement is very pessimistic, and it is the same when it is promoted to the entertainment industry.
Reverence cannot be lost, but are there so many things that people should be in awe? (To be continued.) )
