Chapter 472: The Nature of the World—Better Than Rotten
"Thank you from the country and the people? Hehe, I didn't expect that I would have the privilege of hearing others say this to me one day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After seeing the two leave, Lu Li couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
As a native of the post-80s, he can be said to have grown up with this sentence.
Back then, every time there was an important award ceremony and celebration, leaders at all levels would bring this sentence out and commend those who were winners.
Because of this, instead of being a little excited in his heart at the moment, he felt very funny, and it was estimated that he was heard by radical people, and he was about to shout that he was "represented".
"You don't seem to like these people in the system very much?" Zhao Lao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked.
Lu Li shrugged his shoulders noncommittally: "I can't talk about liking or disliking." I'm a realist who only cares about benefits, not a word of thanks that doesn't have any real benefits. You know, like this kind of chicken soup for the soul, occasionally take it out and use it once or twice, which can still arouse the resonance in your heart, but if you take it out and use it repeatedly, you will only get disgust in the end. ”
"You young people really don't think the same way as our generation. You must know that when I was young, if I could get such a compliment from my superiors, I would probably be able to secretly enjoy it for several months. Zhao Lao sighed slightly and sighed.
Recalling his growth experience for more than 20 years, Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and said in a slightly deep tone: "The biggest difference between your generation and our generation is not thoughts, but the speed of receiving information from the outside world.
The faster and more information is received, the greed in human nature will begin to work hard, and gradually become more and more materialistic, eager to pursue a better life and enjoyment.
Before the reform and opening up, the only way you could get information was through domestic newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations, and you had almost no contact with the outside world.
Not to mention you, even when I was in elementary school, I once thought that the people of Europe and the United States were subjected to the cruel exploitation of the capitalists year after year and lived in misery.
But what about after the comprehensive reform and opening up?
When we opened the window, we were soon surprised to find that the people of those capitalist countries, not only did they not have no food or housing, as the government advertised, but they threw us away from us with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and compared with them, our life was almost no different from that of beggars in the slums.
During that time, the national pride and national self-confidence that had been built up with great difficulty for decades collapsed.
Some people work hard to catch up, and some people are pessimistic and desperate, thinking that it is impossible for them to live like that in their lives, and even gave birth to a group of guys who have no ability to distinguish and think that everything abroad is good.
In particular, the last one they do not understand is that in fact, whether it is a country or a dictatorship, it is essentially a way of allocating social resources.
Taking the United States as an example, many Chinese people envy the private ownership of land here, and they can buy large farms and pastures and establish their own private kingdoms.
But they never thought about why such large-scale modern farms and ranches could only be achieved in countries like Canada, the United States, and Australia.
Traditional European countries, such as the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, etc., are basically small family farms, and large farms are rarely seen.
The answer is simple, because these countries share two characteristics. First, they were all immigrant countries, and they were sparsely populated at the time of their founding, and second, they either had almost no indigenous people in their country, or they raised a butcher's knife to drastically reduce the number of indigenous people, so as to occupy each other's land, in short, plundering, a continuation of colonialism in the fifteenth century.
This means that if a similar system is to be implemented in China, 80 percent of the population must be wiped out first, otherwise it will become the second largest in India, where hundreds of millions of landless peasants are roaming around, and a small spark can cause huge social unrest.
Although as a businessman, I instinctively reject the nationalization of resources, but I have to admit that for the huge population base in China, the nationalization of resources is the foundation for maintaining social stability.
However, the nationalization of resources means that businessmen will never be able to touch the supreme power, let alone influence or manipulate the political situation through elections, so the outflow of private capital has become an inevitable problem.
After all, without rights, you can't secure your property, so it's not surprising that businessmen move their assets abroad. ”
Zhao Lao obviously didn't expect to be able to say such a big truth from Lu Li's mouth, and there was an expression of surprise on his face: "What's the matter today, and suddenly remembered to talk about this?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly have a little realization, it turns out that the government is never better than this kind of organization, but worse than bad. All governments in the world have a whole bunch of problems and hidden dangers that can destroy themselves, the only difference is that some will last for a few more decades, and some will explode in a few years. With that, Lu Li took a sip of water from his cup, his eyes flashing with an unknown meaning.
I don't know what the reason is, but he has been hovering in his mind lately with an indescribable anxiety, becoming more and more insecure, as if all the countries on earth could collapse at any moment, and desperately eager to control the power and transform it according to his own ideas.
Of course, at this stage it is only about ideas and impulses, and he is not yet idiotic enough to think that he is now capable of usurping the power of a country and managing it well.
Boss Zhao smiled and stretched out his hand and nodded twice: "Hahahaha! You, you just think too much."
There's an old saying that if you're too smart, you're more likely to get into the horns.
I'll admit it, you see a lot of essences that ordinary people can't understand.
But let's not forget that the state and the government themselves have a certain capacity to remediate, and they will constantly find ways to remedy the loopholes.
If it doesn't work, you can also launch a revolution and completely redistribute resources.
As for us merchants, what we have to do is to sink to a certain extent in one ship and transfer our property to another ship to avoid risks.
If you look at Greece with a collapsed economy, have their billionaires shrunk their fortunes?
Look at Venezuela, which is also in economic collapse, have the country's billionaires shrunk in their fortunes?
I can tell you very responsibly, there is not a single one!
The reason is simple: both countries recognize dual citizenship, and on the eve of the collapse, the rich have largely transferred all of their wealth, leaving a huge debt hole for ordinary citizens to bear.
What you have to do is not to think about the collapse of that country all day, but to be careful to avoid risks, and if you find out which industry is overheating, it is better to withdraw immediately.
As for how to protect the property and make some value preservation investments in stable countries around the world, I bought two commercial properties in the United States some time ago, which can not only collect rent, but also sit and wait for the appreciation ......"
