Chapter 144 (1/2)
Hualanting people knew that Shang Chenxi was joking and didn't care.
Seeing that they didn't care, Shang Chenxi made a sad look and said, ”you, born in a large family, don't know how hard it is for ordinary people to make a living and support their family, and don't know the cost of food and rice.”
”Especially in business, we have to be penny wise. The so-called seizing the swallow's mouth, cutting the iron needle, scraping the Golden Buddha's face, searching carefully, where to find it. Mosquitoes gouge out fat in their belly, and egrets chop meat on their feet. It describes people who are stingy, but they can't get rich if they don't.”
Yi LiuNian said disapprovingly, ”second Lord, it's OK for others to say so. You, the son of the richest man born with a golden key, are suspected of standing and talking without backache.”
Shang Chenxi shook his head slightly: ”that's not what he said. Small businesses need to be careful, but the gains and losses are just the livelihood of each family. Large businesses seem to have a beautiful scenery and often make money every day. In fact, they are in the air outlet and are very cold at high places. They always need to walk on thin ice. One careless will be driven into the abyss and fall into dust, involving the wealth and even lives of thousands of people.”
”It's true that a few holy stones don't care, but shopping malls are like battlefields. You can't neglect any small things and details. It's better to make money every day than to make money every day. If you go in and out bit by bit, you can't accumulate it.”
”My father likes calligraphy and painting all his life, but do you know what is written in the only pair of words hanging in his study? That sentence is: make a high wish, tie a medium edge and enjoy a low blessing; choose a high place to stand, find a flat place to live, and go to a wide place.”
”Come on, LAN Ting chord is surprised. Explain the meaning.”
Hua Lanting said: ”with lofty aspirations, but only for medium fortune, living an ordinary life.”
Lin Xianjing said: ”we should be farsighted in making the game. We should live a low-key life and leave room for things.”
Shang Chenxi nodded: ”look at the top, middle and bottom, and look at the height, flat and wide. When you live in the top, you think of the bottom, and when you stand high, you look for width. When you are in the atmosphere, you would rather suffer losses than be angry. When you are stingy, you are willing to be angry.”
Yi LiuNian was still unconvinced and said, ”your car space is several times larger than my toilet. How can you live an ordinary life.”
Shang Chenxi was angry and happy by him: ”it's a display of pomp and momentum and strength that you have to have. What do you know about your children? Besides, the second master hasn't been repaired to the level of my father. Can't you enjoy it? Are you dissatisfied or jealous? You're indifferent to life and death and do it if you don't accept it.”
Hearing this sentence, Yi LiuNian thought of Wang Jinlian's slogan when practicing him and the tragic situation that he was bedridden a few days ago, and immediately wilted down.
However, he was still unwilling. He said that Shang Chenxi couldn't do it. He turned the spearhead to Niu Kelian and asked, ”brother Niu, won't you feel sorry when your businessmen sell cheap things to others at a high price?”
Niu Kelian said with a smile, ”what's wrong with one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer? Besides, my brother and I also watch people's dishes. Those childe brothers and ladies won't care. Moreover, I've seen that the handmade stitches of shawls and scarves are good and the quality is first-class. In the past, the girl didn't dare to bid and sold less.”
”I tell you, for cheap things, only you are happy at the moment you buy them, and you are very upset when you use them. For high-quality things, you are distressed at the moment you give money, and you are happy every day when you use them. If your sweetheart is satisfied, it is even more worthwhile.”
At this time, Wen Yin said, ”anyway, I don't think it's worth it. I feel cheated. How do you say to be wary of this situation?”
Shang Chenxi said, ”it's easy to do. He directly refused to leave at the first time. He said that you just don't let go. Don't be embarrassed. Those who pit you with bad intentions and good intentions are not good people anyway.”
Yi LiuNian sighed, ”forget about doing business. I can practice hard. It makes me moved and tired.”
Shang Chenxi: ”otherwise. As I told you, business is nothing but human nature. If you can't figure out human nature, you can't be much better at cultivating Taoism. Except for a few talents, most of those who get the Tao and business giants have different thinking in identifying human nature. As for skills, if you suffer more losses, you will have rich natural experience.”
Hua Lanting asked modestly, ”what methods can improve the grasp of human nature?”
Shang Chenxi said: ”there are many ways. For example, you have the opportunity to have more contact with children. Children's hearts have not been contaminated by the world environment. Their thinking is simple and straight-line. They can often hit the most primitive human nature, which is very enlightening and helpful to understand the essence of things.”
”I teased a child the other day. I asked him how many sides there are in a box? He didn't fully understand the concept of up, down, left, right, front and back. The little guy simply told me that there are two sides, inside and outside. It makes so much sense that I couldn't say anything.”
”Then he turned to me and asked me what was smaller than an ant. I said it was dust and sand. As a result, people said no, and the correct answer was - what was smaller than an ant was the son of an ant. How simple and direct to penetrate the essence, I was speechless again.”
After reviewing Shang Chenxi's words, Yi LiuNian said to Niu Kelian, ”I can't go back to my mother. I'll give up the road of innocence and suffer more losses. I agree with this. However, brother Niu, will such a treacherous person suffer losses?”
Niu Kelian laughed and said, ”why not? I often walk by the river. There's no one who doesn't wet my shoes. I'm not afraid of your jokes. Before I came out, my brother just ate a freshly baked loss. This loss was made by my wife for me. Now I think I'm still warm - spitting blood.”
”All our money belongs to your sister-in-law. Recently, I managed to secretly save 800 pieces of top-grade spirit stones and put them in the storage bag, but historical experience has proved that they are not reliable anywhere. So I came up with a wonderful idea. I put the bag in the pile of old clothes in the wardrobe. If she doesn't find it, she will return it. I'm afraid she won't be able to explain it, so I added a note In case of accidents, it says: ”save enough 1000 for your wife.”
”Guess what? When I took it out before I went out, I found that there was an extra 200 yuan, which became a special 1000...”
