Chapter 295: Money is Just a Number
Wu Wei said with a smile, last time I brought my son, walked to the hotel and heard you say that this hotel is yours, and then saw the plaque of the first banquet of the country inscribed by the great calligrapher, and smiled at me, this time I came with me to see a long experience, and listened to Yongjian during the meal, money for him, is a number, he feels more magical, he said, in the past, only on TV, I saw some people say, the money as a number, the first time I saw the person said that the money as a number.
Yongjian sighed that money treats people as slaves, but also turns people into masters, amplifying people's psychological energy, thinking that if you have money, you can do everything and do everything. I sometimes think that money has become a simple number, is it that what I pursued when I went to the sea to start a business is this kind of digital money saving, which is nothing more than adding a 0 or a few more zeros after a set of numbers, which is also too ridiculous.
Wu Wei said with a smile, people do sometimes fall into absurd existence, but it may not be really absurd for you. At that time, you went to the sea to make money, but also for freedom, to do what you like to do as you like, and you were not willing to spend your life in that kind of mechanical text. Money is indeed a number to you now, but this number belongs to you, it is at your disposal, and it will give you a sense of power, to be exact, a sense of all-powerful power. It has an extra layer of meaning to you than any other set of numbers, a symbol of richness, a guarantee of freedom.
Yongjian said with a rare smile, At that time, our classmates talked about you, saying that you have a strong ability to think abstractly. This is a bit of a value embodiment, like the anatomy of a form of value, Wu Wei used the thinking of studying money to study the value of people, and used me as a model.
When he finished saying this, he couldn't help but laugh himself. Bozhi Wu Wei also laughed.
Yongjian, who had just laughed, said again, I don't know how it feels if Bozhi's annual salary is tens of millions?
Wu Wei said with a smile. Bozhi's worth is probably worth billions.
Bozhi said with a smile, some people say that I am worth 500 million, I said, how many billions can't be realized, and no one will pay to buy me.
Yongjian said, Wu Wei and I are quite free, and Bozhi has a great responsibility. My father used to be the president of a university, and when I came home to visit him when he was seriously ill, he came up with a long list of poor students in need. There were hundreds, and I said yes. It turns out that the old president of Bank R, Zhang Luo, a financial foundation, often needs to come out to make a fortune, and he comes to me to open his mouth for tens of millions.
Bozhi smiled, I am not as free and chic as you. The last time I saw Mr. Wu, there was a topic in his book, even if you are disappointed, don't turn your face, I encountered an incident after I went to work. Indicators for our company to arrange training abroad. An old cadre who has retired from the second line also approached me and asked to use this training indicator to go abroad. I said that this overseas training was a genuine training, but he listened to it but didn't do it, and he snorted angrily that he must go. I said that in the past, I used to play in the name of going abroad for training and business negotiations. Not anymore. If the relevant departments find out and hold them accountable, they will have to pay for their own expenses. He still wouldn't listen. At that time, I remembered that Mr. Wu couldn't turn his face, so I calmly told him that if I insisted on going. I went to participate in the training, and when I came back, I had to take the post. With that, he walked away.
Wu Wei thought for a while and said. I've been thinking a lot about corruption. Some people say that a high salary is not enough to support the incorruptible, but I don't see it that way, a high-ranking official like Bozhi earns a super high salary, maybe he has no intention of being corrupt, corruption has no meaning for people like him, it only adds to his troubles. We are now talking about the rich second generation, the concept of modern prosperity is too shallow for us Chinese, only the second generation, which is equivalent to how many generations before have no real rich experience, that is to say, they have not seen the real meaning of big money, they have become open-minded when they see money, their hearts cannot be loaded, and their hearts are immature. It would be a different story if the capitalists were allowed to enter politics. People who don't have money are in power to help people who run industries make a lot of money, and their psychology will be extremely unbalanced, and it is no wonder that there will be no problems in the long run. We cannot always use traditional revolutionary thinking to engage in the governance activities of modern society, and officials are also human beings, and they also need to be rich.
Yongjian smiled, do you mean that people have to be rich first and then become officials and enter politics?
Wu Weidao, Chinese people are generally rich, or much richer, the probability of rich people coming out to power is naturally higher, more people will be like you, regard money as a number, a guarantee of freedom, enough to do, take politics as the embodiment of the value of life, politics has become the most intelligent and charismatic profession, unlike now, no officials and no greed are polluted by strictness. This is a matter of the process, nothing more, and will soon be a thing of the past.
Bozhi said, after listening to Mr. Wu's words, I am a little more optimistic, much more relaxed, I feel more confident, and I will be more conscious.
Wu Weidao, get out of corruption, and finally rely on self-confidence and self-consciousness. Institutional transformation is also very important. In the past, the government and enterprises were integrated, there was no distinction between officials and businessmen, and officials and businessmen were also engaged in business, and it was very convenient to be corrupt, and the job was to handle a large amount of money. In terms of system, the identities of officials and businessmen can be changed, and Bozhi can become a minister of the government, but once he changes, his annual salary is dozens or hundreds of times worse. Of course, the system needs to be further reformed, but some people say that they still want to be rich when they are rich, and that high salaries are not enough to support themselves. That's the expression of immaturity of the mind. In the past revolutions, the left and the right were too little, too shallow, and immature, and the left was always better than the right, but later they endured hardships and experienced lessons, and found that the left and the right were equally dangerous, or even more dangerous than the right, so they gradually changed from the left to the right and took refuge in the right path in line with reality. The same is true for anti-corruption. The planned economy is an integrated economy for two purposes, and it is very convenient to mobilize the resources of the whole country to ensure the realization of key objectives; the officials who are the operators can make brilliant achievements in their hands, which in my opinion is much more spectacular than the undertakings run by the entrepreneurs, and it is also extremely convenient to use the power of approving the targets in their hands to seek personal gains. Corruption prevention is designed to be highly centralized. The result is extremely inefficient, one qiē obeys orders with superiors, superiors of superiors. If effective restraint and punishment are lost, those with power will unscrupulously abuse public resources and treat public money as their own. The cost and enlightenment of development is that in the past, there was a lack of determination to fight corruption, and scruples undermined development, and corruption became the price that development had to pay. It is equivalent to buying those in power in exchange for development, and winning valuable opportunities and time for development. Corruption also has a driving effect, from politics to business, official fortune becomes financial luck, and governing behavior becomes money-making behavior. Generations have been baptized by the market economy, and the positive experience of wealth has accumulated and matured, and then corruption can only be a single case, and it is the work of a few immature people, and such cases will always exist. Of course, the process of mental maturity is long and painful, that is, it is long and painful, and it requires human decisive intervention, vigorous and resolute anti-corruption actions, the implementation of high-pressure control, and the termination of corruption, so that the corrupt generally have a sense of danger and realize that corruption is dangerous, and officials are generally implanted with a sense of risk, in case they are caught and cleaned up, they will be returned to zero and achieve an orderly transition. Those who can't collect money and have the right to do things have no interest, those who are afraid of risks and don't collect money and don't do things, and the money is enough to spend and do it, and they can do it or not, forming a vacuum in management, so that although those who are dead-eyed and can't find a way to do things, it provides opportunities for those who are open-minded to start a business freely. This will accelerate the arrival of an era of political clarity and prosperity of all industries, and shorten and alleviate the pain of the transition period. For example, the experience of wealth in the next generation is completely different from ours. Just like people with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands and millions, they will still care about food and drink to be reimbursed, and they will distribute some welfare supplies during the New Year's holidays.
