"That's actually understandable.
"That's because Tomorrow is Beautiful is a movie, and Struggle is a game. Boss Pei has described the details in detail. Every audience and player would more or less get the same information when they watch it.
"However, in real life, everyone faces different situations, and everyone gets very different information from the 'real world'.
"Some people changed their fate through their own struggles, and some did not. Some people saw the warm side of the world, and some saw the cold side of the world.
"Therefore, their views on the real world are naturally worlds apart."
"What I want to emphasize is that Boss Pei has actually expressed his views on the real world, but most people did not realize it.
"Why? Look at my title: The Silent Expresser.
"This kind of expression is a silent expression. It will not be said clearly, but you have to understand it yourself.
"Alright, please click on the second link in the video introduction and read the content of Boss Pei's speech to the poor students in his alma mater.
"Three, two, one.
"Alright, I believe everyone understands now. Boss Pei donated fifteen million yuan to these poor students, and the purpose of this speech is to tell these poor students to make good use of this wealth.
"However, Boss Pei did not emphasize 'frugality', but 'attention'.
"Actually, this is Boss Pei's own view of wealth. He might not agree with consumerism, but he does not think that being 'stingy' is good either.
"When faced with the problem of wealth, many people easily go to two completely opposite extremes.
"One type of people thinks that carpe diem is good. They spend all their salary as soon as they get it. They even use their credit cards to spend in excess and buy things that are completely beyond their means.
"The other type of people think that it's good to work hard to save money. They try their best to grasp every tiny bit of profit. They are rich, but they live like beggars and miss a lot of opportunities."
"Obviously, both of these extreme views are wrong."
"Boss Pei's speech tells us that the most precious thing to everyone is not money, but attention!
"As long as we use our attention well, we can naturally earn more money. On the contrary, if we care too much about small profits and waste our attention, we will lose a lot for a little.
"Then, some people might ask, what does this speech have to do with this video and the game 'Struggle'?"
"Of course it has to do with it.
"The content of this speech, together with all of Boss Pei's businesses, is actually to supplement the content that Struggle does not have. It is to tell us what 'struggle' is in real life.
"When faced with the problem of 'struggle', many people will also go to two completely opposite extremes.
"Some people think that fighting is meaningless and that fighting can't change anything. It's better to muddle along and get drunk today. Tomorrow's matters can be dealt with tomorrow tomorrow."
"The other type of people thinks that as long as they work hard, they will be able to live the life they want. They never ask if their methods are right.
"Both of these thoughts are obviously wrong as well."
"Before answering this question, I'd like to add one more point: Big Boss He An pointed out that one of the root causes of the tragedy of the poor in the game 'Struggle' is consumerism and IQ tax. The poor work hard to climb to the position of a false middle class, but consumerism harvests their hard-earned wealth, and they eventually fall back into the cycle of poverty.
"In the game Struggle, consumerism has already controlled the entire society, so the poor in the game have no choice. However, in real life, consumerism has not become the consensus of the entire society. Therefore, if we resist consumerism, we will not be harvested, and we can complete the initial accumulation of wealth.
"Many people have doubts about this because Big Boss He An didn't elaborate on what consumerism is."
"According to the general definition, consumerism is the behavior of most people in society. It is the pursuit of decent consumption, the desire for unrestrained material enjoyment and entertainment, and the purpose and value of life.
"However, I believe that everyone has their own views on the concepts of 'consumerism' and 'IQ tax'.
"Most of the time, we will find that the concepts of 'consumerism' and 'IQ tax' seem to vary from person to person.
"A very simple example: two packs of tissues, five yuan in one pack and twenty yuan in the other pack. Is twenty yuan worth of tissue tax an IQ tax? "
"Many people think so. Since they are both tissues, isn't it an insult to people's intelligence if you increase the price by four times just by sticking a tag on it?
"What if I tell you that the latter is softer, more delicate, and more complicated than the former? What if I tell you that the latter will give you a better experience? Do you still think this is an IQ tax?
"Similarly, to an ordinary person, a branded bag that costs tens of thousands of yuan might be an IQ tax, but to a billionaire, would a branded bag that costs tens of thousands of yuan still be an IQ tax?
"I think many people have not thought deeply about this question.
"Therefore, some people hate consumerism, but others think nothing of it. They think that as long as their wealth can support them to buy branded shoes and bags, they can buy them.
"Here, I will not judge whether it is right or wrong. I am just speculating on Boss Pei's views on this point.
"Many people dislike the game 'Struggle' because they think that it only raises problems, but it's just empty slogans. It doesn't come up with a solution.
"On this point, I want to say that the gap between the rich and the poor is an eternal problem in human society. So far, there is no absolutely correct solution. It is impossible and unrealistic to expect someone to give an answer that satisfies everyone."
"Regarding this question, everyone should think about it independently and give their own answer."
"However, Boss Pei has indeed given an operable answer. It's just that everyone has not realized it.
"Let's go back to the view of wealth that Boss Pei expressed in his speech: the most precious asset should be attention. How should we use the money in our hands correctly?
"We should use it to pry our attention.
"And that is what Boss Pei has done.
"After Boss Li's explanation on the interview and Boss Pei's photo, everyone should understand that Boss Pei is a person who uses all his time to think. He has indeed been practicing this: even a billionaire's attention is the most precious.
"What about Boss Pei's daily life? We can see that he lives in Sloth Apartments and eats Fish-Catching Take-Out. However, he also wears branded suits and expensive watches. However, there is a limit to the value of suits and watches. Compared to his net worth, they are much worse. "
"At this time, some people might think that Boss Pei's words are contradictory.
"He emphasizes to use his attention well, but he diverts players' attention by developing games.
"He emphasizes to resist consumerism, but he wears branded suits and high-end watches.
"However, think about it carefully. Isn't this a kind of contradiction? Once you figure this out, everything will have an answer. "
…
He An could not help but be stunned when he saw this.
He did not expect Teacher Qiao to bring the topic up to this point!
In He An's opinion, resisting consumerism was definitely not wrong, but who could be 100% unaffected by consumerism?
Take He An for example. He had earned money and wanted to buy a big villa and a luxury car. Strictly speaking, this was also consumerism.
If he completely resisted consumerism, He An should use the money he earned to operate the company, create more value, do charity, and help more people.
However, he obviously did not do this. Instead, he kept a large sum of money for personal enjoyment.
Therefore, He An did not fully discuss the issue of 'consumerism' in his long Weibo post.
He subconsciously felt that the so-called consumerism was actually based on one's income level.
If a poor man with a monthly salary of three thousand dollars wanted to save up to buy a sports car, then he must have been brainwashed by consumerism. However, if a billionaire wanted to buy a luxury car, he could just buy it. Even if he bought it, it would not affect his life.
However, He An knew very well that this statement was a little contradictory and could not be self-consistent.
If the conclusion was' one cannot buy branded bags when one has no money, but one can buy them when one has money ', it would seem very unconvincing. It would also make people feel that it was a little discriminatory against the poor. It would seem that the poor did not deserve to buy such things.
Then, they would fall into the trap of consumerism again.
Therefore, what Teacher Qiao was saying now was actually very dangerous. He had to be very careful in his reasoning. If he was not careful, he would fail.
Since you've pointed out the fact that Boss Pei also wears branded suits and watches, how are you going to convince others to reject these things?
With some worry in his heart, He An continued to read on.
…
"Obviously, this is not contradictory.
"I have been emphasizing before that everyone should not fall into the wrong thinking.
"We do need to make good use of our attention, but can humans guarantee that they can control all of their attention at all times?
"Of course it's impossible."
"Therefore, we emphasize that we must have an eight-hour working day. Within eight hours, we must work and learn seriously. Outside of eight hours, we also need to rest and relax.
"In other words, we must strike a balance between work and rest.
"Games are actually to help us rest and relax. Whether it is games with outstanding gameplay or games with outstanding artistry, games that make people laugh heartily or games that make people think, they are all meaningful to us.
