Chapter 22 The poor make the rich
It was just dawn, and a towering Gothic castle has begun to welcome a new day in the vast countryside of Hampshire 70 kilometers west of London.
The cook quickly prepared everyone's breakfast. In order to let the ink dry, the maids ironed today's newspapers. The maids opened the gorgeous and heavy curtains, and the sun shone through the clouds into the living room. The calm butler Paul stood in the hall, looking at the busy waiters and maids, looking at the electric bell connected to the living room from time to time, waiting for it to ring. It was the signal that the master called for service.
This was the opening of the standard daily life of the British aristocrat Bolin family in the early 21st century.
"call"
As the first night he entered Bolin Manor, Arthur couldn't sleep. It was not because he was unaccustomed to it because he changed to a strange environment. It was mainly because he was 40 million pounds. There was no way. The poor man was suddenly rich. He was all light and thoughts, all kinds of random thoughts...
Suddenly, I got £40 million in one night. What does that mean?
I really want to buy everything I want in my life from tomorrow...
Now Arthur is completely trapped in the mode of being rich in the poor. If he hadn't had a sense of reason and warning that the poor would not be rich in the long run, he might have been addicted to the dream of being rich in the first place and was unwilling to wake up.
It is very sudden, and you have wealth and other external things in a very short time, but usually very soon, these external things will disappear and disappear with the wind, making it difficult to maintain for a long time. Why is this?
The simplest and most superficial reason is that you suddenly get a lot, don’t know how to cherish, and squander it will be easy to come and go quickly.
In addition, if you get more and come quickly, you suddenly feel that you are very great. Perhaps you are suddenly praised and respected by others, so you become inflamed and can't bear it mentally, so you start to do it. The saying goes, "If you don't do it, you won't die, and you will die as soon as you do it."
In fact, it is understandable that when a person is hungry for too long and suddenly can eat full, he will be cruel, very cruel, so cruel that it makes people feel anxious.
This is a serious psychological problem. There is no way. After all, the life of every adult is formed by the environment in which he lives and his own inner conception. In other words, people will make settings in advance about their life without breaking through the surrounding environment.
This kind of setting may be a conscious self-conception. Perhaps many people's conception is subconscious and it is difficult for them to realize that they have this setting, but it is true that people's lives are conceived by themselves.
After "Starting Rich", I have not yet psychologically escaped from the poor's thinking and self-setting. Things come too quickly, and I cannot adjust and adapt immediately. Deep in my heart or in my subconscious, I cannot recognize the fact that I have a lot of wealth, etc.
When he first came over, Arthur was dominated by excitement, nervousness, anxiety, surprise and other emotions, especially when he thought he was in debt, he did not really realize these problems. However, when everything was on track, he suddenly learned that the assets he inherited were so huge, and he could no longer calm down.
Don’t laugh at him. The swelling, unreality and sudden psychological emptiness make him unable to sleep all night, and even a little unable to hold on!
"Wow..."
"puff"
In the bathroom, Arthur wiped off the water from his face with his hands, his eyes were covered with blood, he spitted out the water from his mouth, and stared at himself in the mirror with his eyes tightly.
"Calm down, calm down, the poor will not last long, restrain their yw, you will die if you don't want to be addicted to it, you want to make money and make more money, such a good start, don't waste it...
If you can do it, just follow the routine of entrepreneurial literature, move forward bit by bit, let money make money, and after making a lot of money, how can you enjoy it? Don’t you want to play supermodels and supermodels, or do you want to sleep with celebrities?
Good days are still coming, and famous cars and watches are now poisonous, so you must not squander it. If you are used to living in capital, you will not want to wake up again in a dream. Don’t be dying, don’t be dying..."
Bang
Arthur pushed open the door to the terrace, and the refreshing and cool morning breeze blew his silk nightgown, clearing his drowsy head, and supporting his hands on the white marble fence, looking into the distance.
The green lawns on the edge and the various century-old trees dotted there, the British roses blooming in the garden are extremely beautiful. Last night's drizzle decorates the entire manor with fascination, and the vegetation washed by the rain turns into a solid color of "green".
The turbulent river water and the chirping of birds played an intoxicating "movement". Looking up, dewdrops hung on the spider web on the outer wall of the castle, as if telling people the long-standing past of the castle. The petals scattered in the rose garden seemed to remind him that he should keep a heart for a beautiful yearning for.
Breathing the cool and fresh air, standing on the white terrace, looking around at everything around him, Arthur's disordered thoughts slowly eased, which forced him to sigh. The environment can really bring people a wonderful mood.
"call"
Exhausting a breath of turbid air that had been buried in his heart, Arthur patted his cheek, raised his arms, stretched out his somewhat stiff body, then turned around and walked back to his luxurious big fire, reached out and pressed the red ring button.
Ring ring
Paul, the housekeeper who was frowning slightly at the clock and time on the wall, heard the ringing ringing, straightened his body slightly, then looked back at the ready waiter and maid, without saying anything, and walked onto the stairs gracefully, holding the newspaper and breakfast plates, followed closely, followed by the waiter carrying the small dining table, the maid walked at the end, holding the ironed white shirt and suit.
Dongdong
"Please come in."
With a click, the door was pushed open, and the well-dressed butler Paul walked in with a smile and bowed to greet him.
“Good morning, my lord!”
"Good morning, Paul," Arthur said with a smile on his head.
"The weather was good today. Did you sleep well last night?"
Arthur shook his head and smiled bitterly, looked at the waiter maid who performed his duties and prepared breakfast for him, spread his hands and said, "It's not good, I'm insomnia."
The housekeeper Paul walked to the side of Chuang, looked at the bloodshot in Arthur's eyes, frowned slightly, and comforted softly: "Earl, don't worry too much, everything will be fine."
"Thank you, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me take a look at my hearty breakfast. To be honest, I'm really a little hungry."
Arthur looked at the breakfast covered in stainless steel meal covers on the plate placed on the tea table, and said, and the waiter smiled and took off the meal cover, and the breakfast with a full range of colors, fragrance and flavor were presented in front of Arthur.
If British food may be the one that has received the most ridicule in the world, it is because this nation spends all its thoughts on food on breakfast.
