Chapter 306 (1/2)
Of course, Yang Xiaotian is not angry. Of course, Yang Xiaotian understands that in this era of highly concentrated capital and gradually solidified class, it would have been great if Yang Xiaotian had not inherited such a huge legacy by chance and worked hard to become a multimillionaire all his life with his ability.
From the proletariat to the middle class, from the middle class to the petty bourgeoisie, from the petty bourgeoisie to the middle bourgeoisie, and then to the big bourgeoisie, and then to the top bourgeoisie that controls one state power and many state powers. The class does not want to be a staircase, which can be unimpeded. From the proletariat to the middle class, it can be completed by a lucky generation.
From the middle class to the petty bourgeoisie, 90% of the middle class can be eliminated, which may require the efforts of two or three generations. After that, it took generations of efforts to keep climbing. For example, in the famous financial fantasy novel currency war, the legendary Rothschild family experienced several generations and seized countless opportunities to become the world's top bourgeoisie.
However, time has changed. The Rothschild family, because they did not foresee the rise of the lighthouse state, did not transfer capital to the lighthouse state in time, and did not enjoy the dividend of the rise of the lighthouse state, suffered heavy losses in the Second World War as in old Europe, retreated from the first line of the world to the second line, and continued to decline.
The efforts of more than ten generations of a family can't stand such a blow. It's hard for one person to change the world and ascend to the sky. It's undeniable that there are such lucky people, but most of them can't do it. Yang Xiaotian knows in his heart that he can't either.
Yang Xiaotian is not ashamed of his bad luck. In Yang Xiaotian's opinion, luck is also a part of his strength. A person's fate is certainly related to his own efforts. But without luck, it is inevitable that he will ”die before he gets out of the army and make heroes cry” like Zhuge Liang.
It is the so-called ”when time comes, heaven and earth are of the same strength, but it is not free to transport heroes”. For example, Napoleon, when heaven and earth are of the same strength, was invincible, crowned emperor of France and swept Europe. However, once the Universiade was over and the expedition to Russia failed, it was already frustrated and had a chance of restoration relying on the previous popularity. However, after Waterloo I, there was no chance at all.
It's time for Yang Xiaotian to praise his luck. He is not only shameless, but also proud. And in Yang Xiaotian's view, the rich second generation is not a derogatory term, inheritance is not humiliating, poverty is incurable.
No matter how the outside world ridicules the rich second generation, they just don't have the chance to inherit the 10 billion yuan legacy. They really have the chance to inherit it. Let alone 50 billion yuan, it's 5 million yuan, and each of them will ”really smell”! There is no one in the world who does not rely on their parents and elders, but the rich second generation relies more on them than the average person. Those who sneer at the rich second generation, the legacy and house left by their parents, don't they take any money and donate it to charity? There's nothing wrong with it!
This proves that everyone keeps saying that they should rely on their own efforts, but they are still very honest physically. There is a real legacy, and it is inevitable that they will ”really smell”. After the death of the old people in the countryside, their hundreds of thousands of family members can be beaten to death by their brothers and sisters. If they can't break their obligation, let alone tens of billions.
Yang Xiaotian has a deep understanding of how human beings are a creature of right and wrong, and how they care about others' sour words. On the contrary, the envy and hatred of others will only make Yang Xiaotian happy. Whether people live well or not and whether they live a wonderful life are all compared. If your life is envied by most people, then your life must be a wonderful life!
”Yes, I'm lucky.” Yang Xiaotian waved to everyone to be quiet. In an instant, everyone was quiet, and his eyes fell on Yang Xiaotian. He wanted to see what Yang Xiaotian had to say.
