290 million yuan is the standard for financial freedom in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, which was proposed by the Hurun Research Institute in a report submitted in 2017. At the same time, the report also said that if you want to achieve financial freedom in China's second-tier cities, you need 170 million yuan.

After the appearance of this standard report from the Hurun Research Institute, major non-governmental "economists" have given the income standards of young people of each age.

Thirty years old, ten million.

Thirty-five years old, thirty million.

Forty years old, forty million.

If this number is not reached, then the man is a failure in this life.

This is the first time Aggie has seen the success standard that can subvert his eighteen-year outlook on life, and this is also the first time Aggie has seen this teaching show on TV that is dressed in economics but is actually a variety show.

He should not forget that it was a young man who looked passionate, and this man said this young man's success standard with a relaxed face.

He also said that young people should strive for this goal, not choose their ideals in their twenties, and not become a failure in ten years.

At that time, this TV program gave Aggie too many feelings.

His first reaction was that the Chinese people were so rich that they couldn't move to take tens of millions as their income.

This reminded him of his own country, where the average person's annual income is equivalent to about 8,000 Chinese dollars.

Before he could get frustrated and anxious about the impassioned young man's speech on TV, she burst into laughter.

She even laughed with tears and snot bubbles.

This made Aggie feel strange again, and he asked her, what are you laughing at?

She said that reality is not a novel, how can ordinary people earn the hundreds of millions on TV so easily?

She also said that why do you have to use money to measure whether a person succeeds or fails in life?

She even looked at the young man on TV who treated money as a string of numbers and laughed shamefully, this kind of person is really bad.

The innocent Aggie listened to her words and was a little puzzled, why did she look at the man who seemed successful and passionate on TV and say that he was a bad person?

What he said was so true, and what he said was so passionate.

But why, this rare "truth" and "passion" made her on the side unable to arouse any interest at all?

Although he had many puzzles, he did not continue to ask.

He lowered his head and looked at the "Plum Blossom Spring" he had just bought on the table, and his mind was full of thoughts if he could one day win everyone in the world and become the best chess master in the world.

So can he earn 290 million to achieve financial freedom?

Probably not.

He secretly looked at her who was silently memorizing words in the English dictionary again, wondering if she could become a financially free person?

Probably not.

He looked out of the convenience store one last time, at the middle-aged people who were tired but had a light in their eyes, and wondered if they were now achieving the financial freedom they had on TV.

Probably not, right?

So are they losers?

He thought again of the forty-year-old standard of forty million.

He couldn't help but laugh too.

If everybody lives for these 40 million, 100 million, 200 million.

Presumably, there are no doctors, teachers, scientists, artists, or writers in this world.

Without these professions, the world would have turned pale.

"Welcome."

The familiar electronic synthesized sound sounded again, and a mother walked into the convenience store with her child.

Although the mother is not dressed very luxuriously and generously, the child does not look like a rich person's temperament and appearance.

But the two of them can still easily buy what they want and what they want to eat.

After settling the account, she also looked at the elated ordinary mother and son outside the glass, and suddenly said to Aji:

"You see, that's the real financial freedom of our country."

……

Reality is different from fiction, and fiction is different from film and television works.

Reality has a cause and may not have an effect, novels are hidden causes and fruits, and complete film and television works are buried causes and results.

In reality, it may be difficult to see the complete cause and effect, because in reality, hard work may not be rewarded.

But the reality must have a cause.

If people can't even plant the cause, then it is impossible to see the effect in the final outcome.

She invisibly planted a cause in Aji's heart.

The ending of this cause may be reality, or it may be a novel, of course, the most likely is a film and television work.

Aji, who got off work, did not return to school as soon as possible.

Instead, he strolled through the streets, trying to observe the men, women, and children on the streets.

He wanted to see what the true freedom of the Chinese people was.

He also wanted to see how those who did not achieve financial freedom could live.

He looked for a long time, and saw the thin-skinned people in the street fleeing.

He also saw the cheeky people on the street with numbness on their faces, but even so, he was unwilling to stop his gaze.

The "Plum Blossom Spring" placed on the side seemed to be slowly blown by the wind on the side with his gaze.

In that yellowed chess game, in fact, it is also the real freedom of the Chinese people from ancient times to the present.

When the wind blew "Plum Blossom Spring" to page 11, the wind stopped again.

This page is written as the sixth game of "Plum Blossom Spring".

Unlike other ancient chess scores, the sixth game of "Plum Spring" does not have a catchy name, and it does not even deserve a name.

But this game has no name, but it has a simple and easy-to-understand annotation.

That is the middle soldier with a horse artillery and a cross-carriage.

……

In Guanghua Park, Uncle Li and Lao Zhang were playing chess again.

Lao Zhang seems to have figured out a bit of his own chess path after playing against Uncle Li in the rain.

Although he still started the game with the first cannon, his cannon seemed to have a little more spirituality.

This bit of spirituality made him a lot more stable in the chess game.

Especially when this change is matched with the soldiers and horses on his chessboard that he has always paid little attention to, he was able to force Uncle Li to make his second and third changes, and then he was able to steadily enter his army.

When Uncle Li was still unsatisfied and wanted to continue to play the third game.

The school bell behind Lao Zhang rang just right.

"Not anymore." Lao Zhang set up the chessboard, said goodbye to his chess friends in a hurry, and rushed to school.

There was Xiao Zhang opposite Lao Zhang, and Xiao Zhang also saw Lao Zhang, and he didn't avoid Lao Zhang as before.

Instead, he took the initiative to follow Lao Zhang and walked to the delicious roadside stall on the side, it seems that today's Lao Zhang is determined to invite Xiao Zhang to eat some snacks that he usually wants to eat, but his mother will never allow him to eat.

Uncle Li looked at the backs of Lao Zhang and Xiao Zhang, and he laughed.

He seemed to have realized his three hundred and one changes again.
