Chapter 9 The Malice of the World
The first thing Fang Wei did when he got into the bed was to send Yuan Bao a message: "Yuanbao, are you free tomorrow at noon? Please give me a meal."
Yuan Bao replied almost instantly: "Okay, okay, you finally found your conscience, I want to have a big meal!"
"No problem, you can choose whatever you want."
"Oh, when did Young Master Fang become so generous? I usually underestimate you!"
"She is a rich man now, and it will be no problem to support you for the rest of your life."
"Really, let me see what kind of meal a rich man using mate8 treats me to a big meal."
“…”
Fang Wei and Yuan Bao played on WeChat for a while, and then urged Yuan Bao to go to wash and go to bed.
The perverted school where Yuan Bao was studying woke up the students to run at 6:10 every day and started morning self-study at 7:30, which caused Yuan Bao to lack of sleep for a long time and could fall asleep during dates, which made Fang Wei feel very distressed.
Fang Wei finally didn't tell Yuan Bao about winning the lottery. He thought the news was too incredible. He would rather wait until the prize was put into the bag before telling Yuan Bao, so that she would not be frightened and scared.
Fang Wei had not yet figured out how to use the money. The huge sum of money that had dropped from the sky completely disrupted Fang Wei's struggle plan, and made his just-burning enthusiasm fade away quickly, and even had the idea of eating and waiting to die.
It is not easy for those rich second-generations to think about it. They grow up in a comfortable and luxurious environment, withstand various material temptations, and endure various social pressures and prejudices. Only a small number of people have a bad reputation, and most of them are more competitive.
Their success rate is much higher than that of ordinary people, and if they are themselves, they might not be as good as them.
In the face of money, ordinary people are more likely to get lost than rich second generations. There are many people who change their temperament because they get rich overnight. Most of them will vent their long-established resentment by squandering money.
Fang Wei doesn't want to be such a person. His current anxiety and uneasiness comes from panic about uncertainty in the future. He is even more panic when he has money than when he has no money. Fang Wei feels that he needs psychological counseling.
He used to be very unaware of why the winners lost themselves and behaved incredibly extremely.
But when Fang Wei became the protagonist of the story, he found that he was also confused, as if he had lost the goal and motivation of life in an instant, and there were countless villains quarreling in his head.
The most powerful villain is wearing a black and red tuxedo, with a slender pointed tail behind her back, holding a small black fork in her hand, and looking at the world:
"Twenty million! Put it in the bank and invest in some financial management plan. You can't spend all your life while lying down. It's nothing more! I'll go to redeem the prize tomorrow, squander in the afternoon, shop, race, party, go to bar, do whatever you want, this is youth, this is freedom!"
Fang Wei nodded frequently. This idea is so tempting. Who doesn’t pursue freedom and youth!
A little man wearing a white dress with barefoot barefoot with wings on his head jumped out and said, "No, if you have money, of course, you should help those in need! Fang Wei, let's go with me to save the world, let's create a more harmonious and beautiful earth together!"
Fang Wei frowned and thought, to be a useful person to society, be respected by the world, and be famous all over the world. This was once a dream at a certain stage of his growth process, but it was a bit inappropriate to discuss this issue at this time?
A villain wearing jeans, floral shirt, sunglasses and cigars said: "You are not right! With money, of course you are traveling around the world, exploring the beautiful scenery of all over the world, savoring the delicious food of the world, and doing physical and mental health-friendly exercises with beauties from all over the world."
Fang Wei couldn't help but wipe his saliva. Not to mention that this kid understands me, being a rich prodigal son was Fang Wei's biggest dream.
Other villains have expressed many constructive opinions one after another, which makes it difficult for Fang Wei to make a decision for a while.
Suddenly, Fang Wei saw a villain who looked very similar to him among the group of villains. He was dressed in a refreshing manner and was sitting in the corner in a daze.
Fang Wei couldn't help asking him: "Hey, why don't you speak? How do you think I will live in the future?"
The villain raised his head and said lightly: "If I were you, I would hide the winnings and not tell anyone. I will save the money and let it slowly appreciate as a reserve in my life.
I will still live according to my life trajectory, work hard to improve myself and become stronger, and I will not use this money to increase the possibility of the future until one day I can control this money.
I will not give up the wonderful life that originally belonged to me for a small amount of money!”
Fang Wei felt his eyes lit up, as if he was struck by lightning, and he woke up instantly. It turned out that he had fallen asleep at some point.
Fang Wei sat on the bed and tried hard to recall the contents of the dream. This dream was very absurd, but extremely real. Every suggestion was Fang Wei's real thoughts, which were entangled and troubled him.
Fang Wei posted a while and lay down again, turned on his phone and searched for answers in some Du and the Internet Q&A community. He wanted to see how other winners lived.
Fang Wei looked at it for a long time and saw cold sweat flowing. A large amount of data, cases and research reports all pointed to the same conclusion-most of the winners of large-scale lottery tickets did not get happiness.
The summary is as follows:
1. For ordinary people, suddenly having wealth beyond their financial management ability and cognition often brings potential risks;
2. Sudden windfall often destroys the winner's interpersonal relationship circle, causing couples to rebel, father and son become enemies, and friends to be strangers, making them isolated, suspicious, and eccentric;
3.70% of the winners have not achieved higher than the winners in their future lives; 44% of the winners go bankrupt or are penniless after 3 to 5 years of winning;
4.39% of the winners will be infected with bad habits such as alcoholism, drug use, spring buying, gambling, etc.;
5. The risk of blind investment is far greater than the risk of eating, drinking, gambling and arbitrary squandering;
6.1.3% of the winners will be murdered or died during robbery and theft because of excessive display of wealth, of which 1.1% commit crimes for acquaintances.
7. Only a small number of winners concealed the news of winning and maintained an apparent ordinary life to be happy.
These conclusions are completely different from Fang Wei’s inherent cognition! In Fang Wei’s cognition, although money is not omnipotent, it is absolutely impossible to have no money!
But why do you say one-sidedly that winning the jackpot is not a good thing?
Many people also persuaded the winners to leave basic living expenses and donate all their money to do charity, which is simply against human nature.
During the long night and sleeplessness, Fang Wei thought about life calmly for the first time in his life.
Nowadays, Chinese people are in a period of the most intense ideological turmoil, with more developed information and broader vision, which makes some people mistakenly believe that they understand the world very well, have a stronger sense of independence, and prefer to show their personality.
But the fact is that people are increasingly disgusting reading and learning. Most people lack the knowledge reserve and fair judgment they deserve. They like to pay attention to other people's opinions, comment, and like to take sides. They are prone to being led by others and losing their position.
They are superstitious about public knowledge, like to comment (criticism), like to look at problems with extreme mentality, like to replace the truth with their own conjectures and sophistry, and regard ignorance and one-sidedness as independent opinions. Many people never return on the road to becoming "skeletons".
I remember Mr. Lu Xun said--"I have never been afraid to speculate on the Chinese with the worst malicious intentions." Fang Wei deeply agreed.
Most Chinese people are kind-hearted, hardworking and simple, but they are influenced by thousands of years of traditional culture and are good at forbearance and obedience, and are easily surrendered to authority and public intellectuals.
They will not hate the top rich people on the list of rich people, because their living circles and economic status are too far apart, and they can't even say they are envious. They can only worship other people's achievements and lives in various media.
They will not hate the elites, but instead envy their status and resources. They believe in the power of power. They want to squeeze into that circle even if they break their heads, hoping that they can use power to create wealth for themselves one day.
They showed great patience and tolerance, and even obedience to the top rich and elites.
The more they are tolerant of the former, they will be as malicious as they are towards the emerging and wealthy classes.
They will hate those emerging and wealthy classes, such as actors, artists, sports stars, internet celebrities, etc. These people were once as ordinary as them, but because of their talent, hard work, luck and rules, they broke away from their original life circle and became one head higher than them.
The close distance in the past made them unable to maintain minimum respect for these upstarts. They could ignore the efforts and efforts of these people, put these people in the spotlight, and analyze and dissect them under a microscope.
Whenever they find a trace of flaw, they will stand at the moral high point and exude the violent aura that is ready to move in their blood vessels. Criticism, insults, malicious slander, and online violence will come one after another.
However, compared with the emerging wealthy class, they hate those who get rich overnight, such as lottery winners, demolition compensation big players, talent show grassroots, etc.
These people are too ordinary and live among ordinary people. Many people's previous lives are even worse than ordinary people. The speed and process of their wealth accumulation are not recognized by the people around them, so there is no respect at all.
People despise the legitimate income of those who get rich, and regard the injustice arising in the process of social development and the income imbalance caused by accidental reasons as the original sin of these people.
These people who get rich don’t know how to protect their privacy and have poor self-protection ability, so they have become the main body of attacks. Most people have to face malicious infringement. To put it bluntly, they are easy to bully!
This kind of hatred is often unreasonable. As long as someone has an unbalanced mentality, he will join the ranks of bullying others, because these people who get rich have occupied not many social resources and have lost their chances of being rich.
They hope that everyone who gets rich can become the same as themselves, or even become worse than themselves, so that they can be mentally balanced.
They bully the weak and fear the strong, and only want to vent, and no one pays attention to fairness, justice and the rule of law. This is the naked "hate of the rich".
In fact, with the hard work of most ordinary people, even without these people who get rich, they still cannot obtain a lot of wealth. Being a troll or an online mob is easier than making him work hard, so they choose this way to live.
Fang Wei is also going to become a person who gets rich overnight. At this moment, he can already feel that strong malice is attacking him!
Fang Wei felt that he had opened a corner of the real world and learned to think deeply. Under the colorful neon lights, the world has rainbows and darkness, cruel but wonderful.
In any case, Fang Wei's life trajectory has begun to become different.
Fang Wei suddenly remembered a stand-alone game he had played, and there was a sentence in it that impressed him!
