201. Leave the paradox frustrated

If you are backward, you will be beaten" is no longer known as the source of this sentence, and if it is said to be righteous, it is a constant reminder that a person must not be weaker than others and strive for self-improvement. There is nothing wrong with this understanding, but its logic is problematic, and it is a kind of power paradox logic.

"If you are backward, you will be beaten" can be a deceptive word, more like the words of the strong when they force the weak to obey, it should not come out of the mouth of the weak, if you agree that backwardness is the reason for being beaten, then you will be beaten in vain, and when you turn around, you will give up your hands to welcome the thugs as honored guests. This is not the spirit that Zhixu people should have.

Zhixu has been weak for a hundred years, and has been bullied by foreign powers, not to mention backward, even if it is not backward, it cannot fight eight at a time. This sentence downplays the source of the evil that should be investigated, and uses the word "backward" to cover up to a great extent the nature of the crime of the rioters.

A gentleman's refusal to yield lies in not weakening his heart, and so far the country is not stronger than a strong country, but it is not weak, so what should be done at this time?

If we understand that backwardness is easy to be beaten, it is okay to do so, but what is the reason? Because there are people in the world who bully the weak because they are strong. However, if this phenomenon is taken as a criterion, the inference is very problematic, because there are many kingdoms in the world, and there are many clans in the state, and there must be strength and weakness. In fact, no one wants to be left behind, but the reality is bound to be so, and this is the criterion. How can the weak be self-reliant and self-reliant? -- "Standing up for unyielding power" is the correct solution.

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten." This sentence is clearly telling others that you can only feel safe when you can rule the world. He refused to be bullied by the powerful, but he used the words of the powerful, attracting jealousy in vain, making enemies when he was strong, and humiliating himself when he was weak. It is enough to have a self-improvement heart and perseverance, and people who can really do that. They will never say that, they will only say that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and the protection of the weak from being bullied by the powerful, whether they are sincere or not, they will inevitably say so. There is no doubt that this statement is the mentality of the weak, but it is impetuous, and it is not a strategy to be obscure and appeased.

This is a historical fact, but it should not become a norm, so how to look at this phenomenon. Or how to solve this problem? It was really embarrassing for Bai Shaoliu to solve it, his forehead was a little sweaty, and he looked at Feng Junzi after reluctantly saying this. The Wind Gentleman did not move, did not shake his head or nodded. Zhang Rongdao didn't speak.

Bai Shaoliu understood that his understanding was not satisfactory, so he thought about it and then said: "If it refers to current affairs." We can't just look forward to how strong we will be in the future and not be bullied, and we can't admit that we can tolerate bullying all the time, so that we can hope for self-improvement and respect. ”

Feng Junzi took a sip of wine, seemed to feel that it tasted good, nodded slightly, and Mr. Zhang smiled: "That sentence is okay as a silent warning, and as a slogan, it is a big fallacy." If the children uploaded in the school can't understand its meaning, it is suspected of misleading people and the country, and the gentleman is referring to this. ...... Mrs. Kendi, how do you feel about that?"

Mr. Zhang also asked Eva, she thought for a while and said: "I am from the Duchy of Tulip, if the national strength is strong, the small country of Tulip is far less than today's big country, I heard Zhixu people say this, no matter what he means, I must be disgusted in my heart." ”

Mr. Zhang asked again: "If it were replaced by another explanation that Xiaobai just said - standing up for unyielding power, how would you feel?"

Eva: "I would admire him, even as an opponent. ”

Feng Junzi sat back at the table at this time and said to Mr. Zhang: "When I was in middle school, Teacher Tang Qing used to dedicate a class to this sentence, I wonder if the teacher will teach like that now?"

Zhang Rong said: "Old man Tang is not simple, there are not many people like him. ”

Xiaobai also sat down and asked, "Mr. Feng, what did your teacher say?"

Feng Junzi: "Don't ask others, what do you think in your own heart? You can solve it to this point, which is already good, but judging from the requirements of the Dao, it is not yet thorough, and it is not happy! You continue. ”

At this time, Tingfeng had already loosened Huang Yasu's veins and whispered a few words to him, Huang Yasu Qiang suppressed his anger, and still said very dissatisfiedly: "Let's not dwell on this topic today, right? ”

Bai Shaoliu: "Then I'll ask one last question, let me make an assumption, in addition to standing up for power, if one day you don't fall behind, how to clean up those who let the laggards be beaten?" He really has a lot to say, some of which he can't think through, and some of which are not easy to say in front of Eva, this sentence is what he wants to ask the most and it is not easy to ask directly, in fact, the question he thinks about is how to deal with the Holy See.

Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "Frustrate its sharpness, resolve its disputes, and its light, and its dust." ...... Think for yourself!"

Bai Shaoliu: "Everyone can naturally be compatible in this way, but there are also people who do not tolerate it and do not accept it." ”

Feng Junzi said lightly: "Then change its will, transform its people, reform its religion, and punish its heart." ...... It is also helpless, the world should not be destroyed in the jungle out of the jungle, otherwise the last judgment recorded in the Bible will come sooner or later. In fact, when the power is strong enough to destroy each other, there is no absolute meaning of the strong in the world, it depends on what you do. ”

The words of these people were almost hidden in front of Eva, and she didn't understand them because she wasn't very proficient in Zhixu Guoxue. Xiaobai felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, there were some questions that he didn't understand just now, but he had somewhat figured it out.

This conversation ended here, and everyone finally talked about "serious things", and the business they wanted to light turned out to be Xiaobai also knew that Luo Shuihan had mentioned to Avtena that it was the acquisition of shares in the International Breeze Bank. The restructuring and reorganization of JPMorgan Bank is about to be listed, and it has introduced strategic investors to sell shares overseas, and Roba Alliance Financial Group is one of its shareholders. The cost of obtaining shares for a financial group is very low, and it can be expected that once it is listed, its circulation appreciation space is huge, so it is very difficult for Luo Shuihan to acquire before listing, but he cannot get strategic investment equity like a financial group.

The Wiener Family Foundation is one of the shareholders of the Roba Alliance Financial Group, and also owns part of the shares of the International Morgan Bank. It's hard to say whether the business is worth it or not, because the share price of JPMorgan Bank is certainly more than that high after it goes public, but for the investment of the Wiener Family Foundation

Time and opportunity cost, in such a short period of time, there is such a rate of return, the key is whether the Wiener Foundation is willing to transfer the share capital?

Eva came on behalf of Avtena to convey Avterna's opinion, and Avtena had not agreed to the deal because she alone could not influence the decision of the Roba Alliance Financial Group. Roba Alliance Financial Group's acquisition of the shares of JPMorgan Bank is not only for short-term profits, but also for the control of financial resources to seek longer-term benefits, but this participation will indeed make a lot of money. The Wiener Family Foundation, on the other hand, can consider transferring shares.

Eva mentioned another thing on behalf of Avtena, she said to Luo Xi: "There are three islands in the Atlanta Ocean, 1,500 kilometers north of the Claw Mud, and Avtena wanted to buy them, but later learned that they were assets in your name, Miss Luo. She asked me to ask Miss Luo if she would like to transfer the three islands, and the price would be satisfactory to you. ”

As soon as Xiaobai heard it, she knew that the three islands were where the Fountain of Youth was located, and it was indeed a place of great significance to Aphthena, and it was not surprising that she spent a lot of money to buy them, just like Toeva bought the Eight Treasures Treasure Box today. But these three islands were already owned by Luoxi, and this was the first time he had heard of them. Luo Xi replied without thinking: "Those three islands are the memorial left to me by my father, and they also have special significance to me, they are not commodities, and I don't use them as a negotiating condition." ”

Huang Yasu didn't know what was going on, but he only understood that Luo Xi had three islands in his hands, and Avtena was willing to buy them for a lot of money, and Luo Xi didn't talk about it at all. He was a little anxious. persuaded Luo Xi to say: "Xiaoxi." This acquisition is of great benefit to the Helo Group, and if Miss Wiener wants to buy your island, what is there not to talk about as long as the price is fair?"

Luo Xi said: "I'm sorry. The purchase price of the shares of the International Morgan Bank can be negotiated, but I don't want to sell those three islands. ”

Huang Yasu: "Xiaoxi, you have to focus on the overall situation, and you can't affect the interests of the entire Heluo Group because of the child's temper." ”

Bai Shaoliu has already understood Luo Xi's intentions, and an acquisition is an acquisition. An island is an island, and Luo Xi will not talk about it together, so he hurriedly spoke: "Mrs. Kendi, I know those three islands, and I have been there, and I understand that it is very memorable to Miss Wiener. I have a suggestion that if Miss Wiener wishes to travel or stay on the island for a long time, I think Miss Lowe would welcome it as well. And you are welcome at any time, and as for whether to buy this island or not, there is no need to negotiate today. ...... Miss Luo, what do you say?"

Luo Xi's eyes lit up. He said curiously: "Brother Xiaobai has been there, is the scenery beautiful, and the place is fun?"

Bai Shaoliu: "It's beautiful." It's worth going, if Miss Luo is interested, I will accompany you to see it when I have the opportunity in the future. What do you think of my suggestion?"

Luo Xi: "Dad has already told me, let me understand the situation, you help me with ideas, I completely agree with your suggestion, and Sister Ana is welcome to visit the island at any time, even if she lives there." ”

Eva: "It's not a condition of judgment, it's just Avtena's personal hope, and it's not about the business we're going to talk about. In fact, this business is beneficial to both parties, and your bid is also in line with Avthena's expectations, I don't have any opinion, you can initial, and you can officially transfer it when Avtena returns. ...... Mr. Huang Yasu, I hope you don't get me wrong, Avtena didn't have the idea of exchanging the three islands of Luo Xi for the interests of the Heluo Group, this is a private matter between her and Miss Luo. ”

The host, Li Zhidong, said: "Since Mrs. Kendi has such an attitude, on behalf of the Heluo Group, I wish our cooperation a success, and I would like to toast everyone here!" He got up to toast, and everyone raised their glasses, and the serious matter was finished in a few words.

On this afternoon, Xiaobai accompanied Zhang Rongdao to visit Luo Shuihan in Luoyuan, and the two old friends met and chatted for a long time in private, and had dinner in Luoyuan, and went back to Boss Hu's house to rest in the evening. The next day, Zhang Rongdao visited Zahuai Villa again.

When he arrived at Zahuai Villa, Xiao Bai knew that this Mr. Zhang was in the Kunlun cultivation world, if he talked about seniority, he was taller than everyone in Zahuai Villa, Sanshao and Mingzhu and others had to call him uncle, but everyone respectfully called him Mr. Zhang. Knowing that Mr. Zhang Rongdao of Wucheng was coming to Zahuai Villa, almost everyone went to the gate to greet him and welcomed him into Zahuai Villa like the stars holding the moon.

When Zhang Rongdao chatted with the cultivators, the third young monk quietly reminded Xiaobai: "Mr. Zhang is the first geography master of Kunlun, and if you want to build the cave of Mangdang Mountain in East Kunlun together, Mr. Zhang presided over the design, you should call Miss Gu Ying and ask Mr. Zhang for advice on the design of the Huaiqiu land." ”

Bai Shaoliu: "Mr. Zhang is so powerful?

The third young monk: "It is said that the Taoism of the Palace of Forgetfulness has the art of operating the earth's qi, but if it is said that the metaphysics of physiognomy and feng shui are worthy of public opinion, the predecessors of the wind have a lot of things to learn from Mr. Zhang, and the Zhang family has actually taught the wind gentleman." Do you know what Mr. Zhang does in Wucheng?"

Bai Shaoliu: "Chairman of Rongdao Group, what else is he doing?"

The third young monk smiled: "What does Senior Feng do three times a year?"

Bai Shaoliu: "Find a place to set up a stall to tell fortunes." ”

Sanshao Monk: "By the way, Mr. Zhang is the gentleman who sets up a fortune teller by the Phoenix Bridge in Wucheng, maybe you have seen him." ”

Bai Shaoliu opened his mouth and said: "There are indeed many fortune tellers by the Phoenix Bridge in Wucheng, I saw them when I was a child when I went into the city, but I really didn't pay attention, I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to be mixed in it." ”

At this moment, I heard someone behind me say, "Little monk, are you gossiping about me again?" I saw Mr. Zhang walking over in a light shirt, standing in the valley and looking at the word "not messy" on the hill.

The third young monk smiled: "How can I gossip about Mr. Zhang, just remind the owner of Bai Zhuang to ask Mr. Zhang how to arrange this dojo cave." ”

Mr. Zhang habitually touched his chin and said: "If there is no such thing as a gathering of the earth, this dojo cannot become a cave, but now it can be arranged. ”

Bai Shaoliu was slightly surprised: "Mr. Zhang has good eyesight, can you see this?"

Zhang Rongdao smiled: "Mengren's Jianghu methods, just now the third young man has already said that I am a fortune teller, just now the audience introduced a girl surnamed Gu to preside over affairs here, but looking at the garden style here, there are some shadows of a combination of things." ”

Bai Shaoliu: "I really want to ask Mr. Zhang, here."

What's the best way to build?"

Zhang Rong said: "You call that Gu Ying girl, and I will discuss with her, basically there are not many things that need to be changed." This mountain has two springs of clear temperature, you have dug a clear spring on the left arm of the mountain beam of this sitting on Huaiqiu, and there is a hot spring eye under the right arm of the mountain beam, if you can lead to a more balanced atmosphere here, then your original design will change slightly. ”

Mr. Zhang said that there was a hot spring under the mountain beam on the right arm of Zahuaiqiu, but Xiaobai believed it, because there were many hot springs in the suburbs of Wuyou, but he had not explored this place, so he asked: "Mr. Zhang, where is the spring? If you want to draw it out, try it now." ”

Mr. Zhang walked a few steps on the spot, looked at the main peak and looked around, pinched his fingers for a long time and said: "I can tell you where to dig, but I don't have the mana to lead out of the hot spring, this spring is thousands of meters deep underground, the water veins are like a dragon dormant, and the cave heaven leads the spring to hit the dragon ball." ”

Xiao Bai asked in his thoughts: "Chi Yao, there is a hot spring eye under a thousand meters here, can you draw it out with your mana?"

Chi Yao said: "If it was the original Chijiao, there would be no problem, but now I can't do it with a wisp of Yuan Shen trapped in the Red Refining Divine Bow." ...... Xiaobai, you must bring out the hot spring water vein dragon ball, if you get out of trouble in the future, that kind of place is the most suitable for me to practice, please. ”

Bai Shaoliu: "Whether you get out of trouble or not, I will definitely build a Divine Bow Temple on the hot spring eye, don't worry, I'll find someone else to find a way." ”

Xiaobai hadn't looked for anyone else, and Mr. Zhang said to Sanshao: "Little monk, you call Wenzui Mountain Taobao." She is the only person here who is the most suitable. ”

The three young monks went to invite Tao Bao. Tao Qi also came, and Lao Yuan shouted, "Mr. Zhang, I heard that you are going to dig a pit." Why don't you look for me? My pestle is the best for making holes!"

Mr. Zhang smiled: "The water vein dragon ball is not to dig a pit and dig a well, it is necessary to use mana to run the earth qi to lead the dragon ball to be unearthed, the pottery treasure is suitable for the grass hoe, and you must not mess with the medicine pestle." ”

Tao Bao took out the grass hoe and said, "Where does Mr. Zhang want me to hoe?"

Mr. Zhang: "Don't worry, you dig seven pools in this mountain first." Each pool is seven feet square, and the hot springs are drawn from the first pool and the seventh pool is brought underground. ...... With the strength of all the people, it is very easy to dig these seven pools, and when you go down to the hoe, you will hoe three times a day, and hit the first pool of the earth's eye, causing the earth to surge. Nine days later, the spring can flow. ”

Tao Qi: "Dig the pond, then I'm good at it, and one is one when I go down with a pestle." ”

Mr. Zhang: "It's really the most suitable for you, each of these seven pools." You have to cast a spell to make a chisel, and with your mana, you can't make a mistake. You can only dig two pools a day, don't worry, when I see Miss Gu Ying, I will give her the pattern. ”

Xiao Bai Chang thanked him: "Thank you Mr. Zhang for your advice, thank you for your help!" Zhang Rongdao said it simply just now, but this eyesight is amazing. If you use the magic power, Mr. Zhang may not be excellent, but when it comes to the magic of high eyesight and deduction, Xiaobai has not seen the second one.

Mr. Zhang looked at Xiaobai and looked up at Tiandao: "It's easy to arrange your own cave, but the situation of the world is difficult to solve, I came to Wuyou this time not only to do business, but also to go to Zahuai Villa to see, especially to see you Bai Shaoliu." I already know about Uyusheng. ...... Sanshao, Tao Qi, Tao Bao, you are at your own convenience, I have something to talk to the owner of Bai Zhuang alone. Master Baizhuang, please follow me to the mountains and forests to observe the earth. ”

Mr. Zhang and Xiaobai climbed the right side of the mountain side by side, and stood on the high slope of the mountainside, Mr. Zhang pointed to the foot and said: "This is the hot spring eye, and the spring can only be started here." But if we don't know what to do, if we don't know how to do it, even if you dig through the mountain, it will be in vain. ...... Wuyou is in Zhixu, sitting in the mountain villa is in Wuyou, so the eyes are in this mountain. ...... Master Bai, why don't you speak?"

Bai Shaoliu: "When Mr. Zhang comes to Zahuaiqiu, he must have some advice, and I am listening to the teachings." ”

Mr. Zhang: "Are you very modest? The wind gentleman has a good impression of you, and Mei Yeshi also values you, and he really didn't see the wrong person, and even I admired the fact that he sat in Huai Villa to write a book." ...... In addition to the Wind Gentleman, there are other masters to guide you, right?"

Bai Shaoliu said embarrassedly: "There is indeed a master in the world who often mentions it, but his identity is not to be said. ”

Mr. Zhang nodded: "Very good, if you can keep your word, I won't ask, Feng Junzi seems to have been in a lot of trouble recently, but he has almost been taken over by you." ”

Bai Shaoliu: "I didn't bring it over, it was originally related to me." ”

Mr. Zhang sighed: "The gentleman is not young, and his temper has not changed at all. ”

Bai Shaoliu: "Has Mr. Zhang known Senior Feng for a long time?"

Mr. Zhang: "I've known him since he was fifteen years old, and he's thirty-seven this year, right? ”

Bai Shaoliu asked puzzledly, "I don't quite understand, didn't Mr. Feng seal his divine sense?"

Zhang Rong said: "The Wind Gentleman did seal his divine consciousness and opened his mouth unintentionally, but I understand, and the disciples of the Changbai Sword Sect here also understand that not everyone is qualified to discuss the Dao, although you still don't know the true essence of the Dao. ...... Don't mention him, let's talk about you, there is a distinguished guest visiting today, how are you going to receive it?"

Bai Shaoliu smiled: "Is Mr. Zhang talking about himself? ”

Mr. Zhang: "You have his heart, of course you understand that I don't mean myself, how can anyone who claims to be a distinguished guest, I mean the one who is about to come to the door." ”

Bai Shaoliu was slightly taken aback: "Mr. Zhang, you are really good at pinching and calculating, may I ask what kind of distinguished guests are coming to Zahuai Mountain Villa today?"

Zhang Rong said: "You'll know when you're here, I want to see the excitement - see how you deal with it?"
