Chapter 8: Hit the Jackpot!
The first thing Fang Wei did when he got into the quilt was to send a message to Yuan Bao: "Yuanbao, are you free at noon tomorrow? ”
Yuan Bao replied almost in seconds: "Okay, okay, you finally found out your conscience, I want to eat a big meal!"
"No problem, you can choose what you eat. ”
"Ouch, when did Fang Dashao become so generous? Miss Ben usually underestimates you!"
"Don't be poor, Young Master Ben is a rich man now, and it will not be a problem to support you for the rest of your life. ”
"Really, let me see tomorrow what the rich people who use MATE8 treat me to dinner. ”
“......”
Fang Wei and Yuan Bao frolicked on WeChat for a while, and then urged Yuan Bao to go wash and sleep.
The perverted school where Yuan Bao attends wakes up students to run at 6:10 every day, and starts early self-study at 7:30, causing Yuan Bao to lack sleep for a long time, and he can fall asleep on a date, which makes Fang Wei feel distressed.
Fang Wei finally didn't tell Yuan Bao about winning the lottery, he thought the news was too incredible, so he should wait for the prize money to fall into his pocket and then tell Yuan Bao, so as not to make her frightened.
Before Fang Wei could figure out how to use the money, this huge amount of money that fell from the sky completely disrupted Fang Wei's struggle plan, making the enthusiasm that he had just burned quickly faded, and he even had the idea of eating and waiting for death.
It's not easy to think about those rich second generations, growing up in a comfortable and luxurious environment, withstanding all kinds of material temptations, and bearing all kinds of social pressure and prejudice.
In the face of money, ordinary people are more likely to be lost than the rich second generation, and there are many people who have changed their temperament because they got rich overnight, and most of them will squander money to vent the resentment accumulated in their hearts.
Fang Wei didn't want to be like that, his current anxiety and uneasiness came from the panic of uncertainty about the future, when he had money, he would be more panicked than when he didn't, Fang Wei felt that he needed psychological counseling.
He didn't understand why the winners had lost themselves and behaved in an unbelievable way.
But when Fang Wei became the protagonist of the story, he found that he was also confused, as if he had lost his purpose and motivation in life in an instant, and there were countless villains arguing in his head.
The largest and most powerful villain wears a black and red tuxedo, a slender pointed tail behind his back, and holds a small black fork in his hand, with a look of intent:
"Twenty million! Put it in the bank and invest in some financial plans, you can't spend it all your life while lying down, and you still work hard! I will go to redeem the prize tomorrow, and I will squander it in the afternoon, shopping, drag racing, partying, clubbing, doing whatever I want, this is youth, this is freedom!"
Fang Wei nodded frequently, this idea is too tempting, who doesn't pursue freedom and youth!
A little man with bare feet and wearing a white dress, wings on his back, and a halo on his head jumped out and said: "No, if you have money, of course, you want to help those in need!" Fang Wei, come with me to save the world, let us create a more harmonious and beautiful earth together!"
Fang Wei frowned and was thinking, being a useful person to society, respected by the world, and his reputation spread all over the world, it was also his dream at a certain stage in his growth, but it was a bit early to discuss this issue at this time, right?
A little man wearing jeans, a fancy shirt, sunglasses and a cigar said: "You're all wrong! Of course, if you have money, you will travel the world, see the beautiful scenery of various places, taste all the world's food, and do sports that are beneficial to your physical and mental health with the beauties of various countries." ”
Fang Wei couldn't help but wipe his saliva, don't say that this kid still understands me, being a rich prodigal son is Fang Wei's biggest dream all along.
Other villains successively expressed a lot of constructive opinions, which made it difficult for Fang Wei to make a decision for a while.
Suddenly, Fang Wei saw a villain who looked very similar to himself in the group of villains, dressed in a refreshing and refreshing manner, sitting in a daze in the corner.
Fang Wei couldn't help but ask him, "Hey, why didn't you speak?" What do you think I should do in the future?"
The villain raised his head and said lightly: "If I were you, I would hide the winning thing and not tell anyone, I will save this money and let it slowly appreciate as a reserve in my life."
I will still live my life according to the trajectory of my life, try to improve myself and become stronger, until one day I can harness this money, and then I will use it to increase the possibilities of the future.
I won't give up my wonderful life for a small amount of money!"
Fang Wei felt that his eyes lit up, as if he had been struck by lightning, and woke up in an instant, it turned out that he didn't know when he fell asleep.
Fang Wei sat on the bed and tried to recall the contents of the dream, which was absurd, but extremely real, and every suggestion was Fang Wei's real thoughts, which were intertwined and haunted him.
Fang Wei was stunned for a while and lay down again, turned on his mobile phone and looked for answers on a certain degree and online Q&A community, he wanted to see how other awardees lived.
Fang Wei looked at it for a long time and saw that a cold sweat flowed, and a large number of data, cases and research reports all pointed to the same conclusion - most of the big lottery winners are not happy.
The summary is as follows:
1. For ordinary people, suddenly having wealth beyond their financial management ability and cognition often brings potential risks;
2. The sudden windfall often destroys the winner's interpersonal circle, causing husband and wife to turn against each other, father and son to become enemies, and friends to become strangers, making them isolated, suspicious, and perverse;
3. 70% of the winners did not achieve anything higher than winning the lottery in their future lives, and 44% of the winners went bankrupt or destitute 3 to 5 years after winning the lottery;
4. 39% of the winners will be contaminated with vices such as alcoholism, drug abuse, prostitution, and gambling;
5. The risk of blind investment is much greater than the risk of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling and squandering;
6. 1.3% of the winners will be murdered or die in the process of robbery and theft for showing off their wealth, and 1.1% of them will be committed by acquaintances.
7. Only a small number of winners conceal the news of winning the lottery and maintain an ordinary life on the surface to be happy.
These conclusions are completely different from Fang Wei's inherent cognition! In Fang Wei's cognition, although money is not omnipotent, it is really impossible to have money!
But why is it that the Internet is one-sided and says that winning the jackpot is not a good thing?
There are also many people who persuade the winners of the lottery to leave their basic living expenses and donate all the money to charity, which is simply against human nature.
After a long night and no intention of sleeping, Fang Wei thought calmly about life for the first time in his life.
Nowadays, Chinese people are at the peak of ideological agitation, with more developed information and broader horizons, which makes some people mistakenly believe that they know the world very well, have a stronger sense of independence, and prefer to show their individuality.
But the fact is that people hate reading and learning more and more, most people lack the knowledge and fair judgment they should have, they like to pay attention to other people's opinions, like to comment, like to take sides, and are easy to be led by others and lose their position.
They are superstitious about public knowledge, like to comment (criticize), like to look at problems with an extreme mentality, like to replace the truth with their own conjectures and sophistry, and regard ignorance and one-sidedness as independent opinions.
I remember that Mr. Lu Xun said -- "I have never been afraid to speculate on Chinese with the worst malice," Fang Wei thought so.
Most Chinese people are kind-hearted, hardworking and simple, but they are influenced by thousands of years of traditional culture, and are good at forbearance and obedience, and are easy to submit to authority and public knowledge.
They will not be jealous of those top rich people on the rich list, because the difference between life circle and economic status is too far to even talk about envy, and they can only worship other people's achievements and lives in various media.
They will not be jealous of those elites, but envy their status and resources, believe in the power of power, and want to squeeze into that circle when they break their heads, eager that one day they can also use power to create wealth.
They show great patience and tolerance, even submissiveness, to the top rich and elite.
The more tolerant they are of the former, the more malicious they will be towards the new affluent.
They will be jealous of those new wealthy classes, such as actors, artists, sports stars, Internet celebrities, etc., who were once as ordinary as them, but because of talent, hard work, luck and rules, they have left everyone's original life circle and become a head above them.
The proximity of the past prevented them from maintaining a minimum of respect for these upstarts, and they could ignore the efforts and dedication of these people, and put these people in the spotlight and under the microscope for analysis and dissection.
Whenever they find the slightest flaw, they will stand on the high ground of morality and wantonly exude the violent atmosphere in their veins, and criticism, insults, malicious slander, and online violence will come one after another.
However, compared with the new affluent class, they hate those who get rich overnight, such as lottery winners, large demolition compensation households, and draft grassroots.
These people are too ordinary, they live among ordinary people, and many people's previous lives are even inferior to ordinary people, and the speed and process of their wealth accumulation are not recognized by the people around them, so they can't talk about respect at all.
People despise the legitimate income of the rich, and regard the injustice in the process of social development and the income imbalance caused by accident as the original sin of these people.
And these rich people don't know how to protect their privacy and have poor self-protection ability, so they have become the main body of attack, most people have to face malicious aggression, to put it bluntly, they are easy to bully!
This kind of hatred is often unfounded, and as long as the mentality is unbalanced, they will join the ranks of bullying others, on the grounds that these people who are suddenly rich occupy the already small social resources and make them lose opportunities.
They hope that everyone who gets rich can become the same as themselves, or even worse than themselves, so that they can be psychologically balanced.
They bully the weak and fear the hard, just to vent, and no one pays attention to fairness, justice, and the legal system, which is a naked "hatred of the rich".
In fact, with the level of effort of most ordinary people, even without the existence of these people, they still can't get a lot of wealth, and it's easier to be a troll and an online mob than to let him work hard.
Fang Wei is also about to become a person who gets rich overnight, and at this moment, he can already feel that strong malice is coming towards him!
Fang Wei felt that he had opened a corner of the real world and learned to think deeply, under the colorful neon lights, the world has rainbows and darkness, cruel but very exciting.
In any case, Fang Wei's life trajectory has begun to change from one place to another.
Fang Wei suddenly remembered a stand-alone game he had played, and there was a sentence in it that impressed him very deeply!
The real world has no instructions, and it's up to you to decide whether to use this place as a playground or as a wilderness to survive!
