Chapter 528: Financial Freedom
When Alvin's gang and Coulson's gang arrived at the resort, the whole resort was boiling.
The waiters were very enthusiastic because of the arrival of their big bosses.
Those rich guests who were so rich that S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't dare to drive them away indiscriminately seemed even more excited.
Stark was stumped by a large group of gentlemen and celebrities within two minutes of getting out of the car, and everyone wanted to come up and talk to him.
Stark's new energy is indeed slowly changing the economic ecology of the entire earth, and the industries derived from it will be diverse.
As long as Stark himself doesn't mess around and can share his benefits with all parties, it is estimated that no one will be able to shake his position as the richest man in the future within a hundred years!
Now, as long as these guests who come on vacation can catch Stark's big ship ahead of other competitors, it is impossible for their future assets not to grow.
This kind of noisy scene made Alvin a little uncomfortable, and the whole occasion began to smell of money since Stark appeared.
Those celebrities and rich people from all over the world are chasing Stark, who represents wealth, like fans chasing stars.
This makes the whole scene seem a little funny.
Seven or eight armed Humvees, a super chariot, the danger they represent seems to be non-existent in the eyes of those adults.
Only a bunch of kids were caught in the war machines, and then turned to Nick's balance bike.
Boss Nick is indeed very organized, and he gathered a group of little brothers and sisters with his broken mouth and boldness in three or two clicks. Led everyone to play on the lawn in front of the hotel.
Ginny pouted a little unhappily, she also wanted to join Nick in their "exciting" game.
Accelerating towards a bowling formation of more than a dozen scarecrows on a balance bike to see who knocks down the most, this game is really fun and exciting!
It's a pity that Ginny's pink balance bike was taken by a few little ghosts who struggled to walk.
Several little ghosts of different skin colors chattered around little Ginny and said things that they couldn't understand, although little Ginny couldn't understand what was said, but their admiring eyes could still understand.
This greatly alleviated the frustration in the little girl's heart. When did the little princess of the Peace Hotel actually start to enjoy the treatment of the eldest sister?
Little Ginny puffed out her bun face and picked up a little blonde doll crawling on the ground with a pacifier on her mouth, but desperately holding her calf, and made a grimace with her eyes glaring.
Then pick up another little black child who is about the same age, put them on the pedals of the balance bike, one left and one right, and carefully push the balance bike to slide slowly.
A few little bits, who were not good at walking, followed behind little Ginny, chattering happily.
Little Ginny has found the joy of being the head of the eldest sister, and the two little ones who can't even walk well are not honest when they sit on the balance bike, and little Ginny will babble and talk alien words to teach them a lesson.
Looking at the appearance of the two little "submissive" fools, she felt that the majesty of her eldest sister was greatly satisfied.
A couple of socially looking women stood on the edge of the lawn and talked to Fox and Shirley smoothly.
Then he chatted with the two "female warriors" and watched the children play with a smile.
Shangqi came to Alvin's side with a large bag full of luggage, pointed to the people around Stark, and said, "Are these people crazy?" Those women hate having to get dressed!
Is there anything special about Stark?
I know he's rich, but those people don't seem to be short of money at all, what are they doing?
Boss, I think you'd better go and pull Miss Pepper, she looks like she's going to kill!" ”
Alvin laughed and patted Shangqi's shoulder and said, "They are rich, but they are not free.
The position of the person standing is different, and the pursuit is different! And they have their own responsibilities!
Stark is nothing special to you, but for them it's a chance to move their careers forward.
There's nothing wrong with that! ”
Shangqi reached out and took a golden iced drink from the plate of a passing waiter and poured it into his mouth, then glared at the waiter who looked at him with a strange expression. Lao Tzu is a bellman, but he is still a guest here!
He breathed a sigh of comfort, put the empty cup back on the waiter's tray, and said to Alvin: "In this way, in fact, it is useless to have money, without freedom, what is the point of having money?" ”
Alvin glanced at him and said with a smile: "The meaning of money is that it allows you to achieve financial freedom and do what you want to do.
It's just that for financial freedom, everyone has their own standards, some people think that one million is enough, and some people think that ten million is enough. This is determined by each person's standard of ideal life.
It's just that many people keep changing their minds in the process of chasing financial freedom.
It's like you've got a pickup truck, but you'd rather have a Paramount Marauder right now. Or maybe you're strong now, but you still want to be stronger.
When the goal keeps getting higher, where is there any real freedom! ”
As he spoke, Alvin looked at the guys who were surrounding Stark, politely greeting and joking, intending to have a relationship with Stark, and said with a smile: "There are many more people who are slowly carrying a lot of responsibilities when chasing money.
Family, career, sense of honor, satisfaction, they have money, but they have become less free!
It has nothing to do with the fact that they are good guys and bad guys!
When you can influence a lot of people, the satisfaction is unparalleled, but the pressure is just as great.
Most of those people are like this, he may have an endless amount of money to spend, but there is always something that will push him forward! ”
Shangqi was silent for a moment, looked at Alvin's side face and said, "Then, boss, are you free?" ”
Alvin turned his head to look at Shangqi, and said with a smile: "I'm used to my current life, so it's a kind of freedom!"
I can't do all the things I want to do!
But at least I can say "no" to something I don't want to do!
I'm used to it, it's the best I can imagine! ”
Shangqi nodded thoughtfully, and muttered to himself: "Refuse to do what you don't want to do~~"
Alvin patted his breath on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Boy, keep up!" Let's get our stuff back to our room first, it looks like it's going to be lively for a while, so let's stop mixing here. ”
Hanging a large bag around Shangqi's neck, Alvin beckoned two waiters to push two luggage carts before putting down all the luggage, and then went to Stark's villa.
At the end of December, it is the rainy season in Tanzania, and the temperature here is very comfortable, which can stay around 25 degrees Celsius.
Starting's villa is the highest point in the entire resort, which is a small hillside.
Four villas of different styles stand on this hillside.
Alvin fell in love with a Mediterranean-style villa on the second floor with a large terrace.
Greeting Shangqi and the waiter piled all the luggage on the first floor of this villa, Alvin came to the terrace on the second floor.
The resort has clearly made a lot of preparations, with a bar in the lounge on the second floor that connects to the terrace, and a wine cooler at the back filled with all kinds of drinks.
There is a not-so-large barbecue grill on the terrace, a long dining table large enough for twelve people to eat.
Alvin walked over to a chaise longue near the edge of the terrace and lay down, stretching comfortably as he looked at the lush grasslands and shrubs in the distance, as well as the various animals that flashed from time to time.
Alvin loves tropical seas, grasslands, and places where life is alive.
The Tanzanian grassland in the rainy season perfectly fits Alvin's yearning for the grassland!
In his previous life, Alvin had always wanted to make a trip to Africa, but unfortunately he never succeeded. Because no matter how he calculated, if he wanted to play in Africa safely, the cost he needed was not something he could afford at that time.
Later, I had no choice but to go to the grassland of Inner Mongolia, which is also a great place, the people are warm, the food is delicious, the wine is not very good but it is easy to get drunk.
The only downside is that you don't see wildlife at all, and it's a place dominated by humans.
Alvin yearns for wild nature, and Africa should be such a place.
Alien to the stranger, Hela somehow made her way to the terrace and sat down on a chaise longue next to Alvin.
Alvin glanced at Hela, who didn't look too high, but didn't speak. You're thousands of years old, and it's not a problem to be next to me all the time. Girl, you'll have to learn how to live on your own!
Hela looked at Alvin with a bad face and said, "Where do I live?" When to go see those demons? ”
Alvin spread his hands and said with a smile: "You are free, there are four villas here, you can choose one by yourself, this is a preferential treatment for the goddess!" ”
Hela glared at Alvin and said very unhappily, "You are one with Fox, one with Stark and Pepper, one with Frank and Shirley, and what about me?"
Do you want me to be in the same house with that fat man? ”
Alvin reacted a little to Hela's displeasure, so he smiled and said, "The villa is very big, and you are not in the same room, what's the problem?"
A mage of Kama Taj may still be a monk, so you can bear with me!
What else should I do? If you want Stark to live with the fat man Wang Yuan, he doesn't want to! ”
Hela squinted at Alvin, who looked indifferent, suddenly smiled and said, "I think I can talk to Fawkes and Shirley, I can share a room with them." ”
