Chapter 96 You're Not Ruthless (Part 2)
Yang Rui was ready to accompany Yuan Zhifeng to play golf, but now when he entered this room and saw everything in front of him, he realized that he was thinking wrong, and the difference was very far.
This is an enclosed room. It is not very big. In the center of the room, there is a table tennis table. Yes, it is a table tennis table. The underworld is in the middle, and Yuan Zhifeng, a rich man, is playing table tennis with a man while playing table tennis.
Golf is a noble game, which can only be played by rich people, but table tennis is the opposite. It is a game for poor people and can be played by every ordinary person. It may cost a million yuan a year to play golf, or even more, and you can play table tennis without even a hundred yuan. In some underdeveloped mountainous areas, rural children can play table tennis without any quota. They can be DIY.
It is precisely because the investment in table tennis is too simple that even if you specialize in a room and prepare a racket and a table, it doesn’t cost much. For Yuan Zhifeng, it’s simply not even a drop in a bucket, which surprised Yang Rui.
Seeing that it was Yang Rui coming in, Yuan Zhifeng stopped to rest, asked the subordinate to go out first, wiped his sweat with a towel, and sat down on the chair next to him to rest.
"Yang Rui, why? Are you surprised to see my football skills?" Yuan Zhifeng smiled proudly, and there seemed to be no surprise at all at all at the surprise of Yang Rui.
Yang Rui smiled bitterly and sat down on another chair next to him.
"Old man, why did you play table tennis? This is what a child plays."
Table tennis is China's national football and the pride of Chinese sports. Even other countries can achieve some results in table tennis. They are all Chinese, all from mainland China and face foreigners. We often proudly say that in China, everyone can play table tennis. But in fact, in China, table tennis is still ignored by most people, and everyone pays more attention to big ball sports such as basketball and football. Each of us can play table tennis, but in fact, it was just played as a toy when we were young.
"Then what do you think I should play? Golf?"
“In a sense, golf fits your identity.”
"Identity? Haha..." Yuan Zhifeng smiled, "Can golf really show a person's identity? In fact, it is just a fool to get rich. There are many new wealth-creating talents in China now, and many rich people from scratch. But don't forget that this is not aristocrat within three generations. They cannot raise the aristocratic spirit. For those who only start from scratch, it is more appropriate to call them nouveau riche.
True rich people. True nobles and rich people do not need to use the world's benchmark to identify themselves. How many people who play golf now really enjoy the sport? Most of them deliberately show off their own land to get out of the masses. They enjoy the land not sports, but spend money to buy land noble.
Yang Rui thought about it and felt that his words had some truth. "If a person is like this, it is the behavior of a nouveau riche, and everyone will find it funny, but you also said that many of the rich are the first generation, the second generation, and the rich. Everyone has such behavior collectively, which will form a trend and become a social platform. If the new rich people do not join, they can only live like this."
"That's right," Yuan Zhifeng smiled cunningly, "So people who have land will make money. Hehe, I have shares in several golf courses in Shenzhen. It is because many people like to pretend to be savor and enjoy face that there are so many Kaizi who are willing to spend money."
Yang Rui's eyes lit up. Although he was the future successor of Yuan Zhifeng's industry, he has not participated much directly so far. After hearing this, he realized that he really has channels for making money in all aspects.
"The people who invest in golf courses are playing table tennis themselves. Should I say you are cunning or are you stingy?"
"No." Yuan Zhifeng took a sip of water and then became serious: "As you said just now, golf has become a social platform for rich people of a certain level, including places where business is light, so there is a need. It is normal to have investments if you need it. I don't like it, but it doesn't mean that this platform should be excluded. In addition, such behavior is also normal. Casino masters often never gamble on their own, and the big drug lords themselves do not get involved in drugs, and careers and individuals can be completely separated."
Yang Rui thought something, and Yuan Zhifeng's words were still a little bit inspired by his business.
"Haha, I'm not a nobleman, a rich man of good quality. I started from scratch. Even if the Yuan family is always prosperous, I have to have fun with my grandchildren before I can be a bit rich. In fact, I don't play golf because I was young and couldn't play this sport at all. At that time, table tennis was popular, so my skills were very good. Since I haven't played it when I was young, why do I go to the trend and learn when I'm old?"
"It makes sense, I don't know how to golf either. If you want to play table tennis, I can really stay with you for a while." Yang Rui changed the subject: "But, the old man asked me to come, it wouldn't be as simple as playing tricks, right?"
Yuan Zhifeng had been resting for a while, and he was quite energetic. He put on the towel and stood up, "First play a few sets with me! Let you see your true level. Thinking about the time when Cai Zhenhua and other kids were beaten up by me, I just had no choice but to play table tennis at that time, otherwise I would have won the Olympic champion. Then again, they can't make much money now."
Yang Rui sweated wildly. The older he is, the thicker his skin is!
He was originally planning to take care of the old man's face and let him go, but unexpectedly, after a few sets, Yang Rui was not his opponent. Yuan Zhifeng was really not bragging. Although his current level is not comparable to professional players, it can definitely be considered good among amateurs.
While resting, looking at Yang Rui's incredible appearance, Yuan Zhifeng smiled proudly like a child and said, "Hehe, I think the old man bragging? Do you know it's amazing?"
"Tsk. I have the ability to compete with me in basketball. I am good at basketball, and you are good at table tennis. What's so proud of me if I win? If basketball wins me, you're even good.
Yuan Zhifeng laughed and scolded: "Boy, I found that your skin is really thicker than the city wall! A 20-year-old man actually proposed to compete with a basketball player with a man in his seventies or eighties, and he was quite righteous. I really admire your skin!"
Yang Rui sweated for a moment, forgetting his age.
"Come on, let's talk about the serious business. You can't just to abuse me on table tennis and get some of the pleasure of being strong, right?"
Yuan Zhifeng said lightly: "It's not a serious matter, but as an elder, I just look at you not doing enough to remind you."
Yang Rui hurriedly said, "Tell me. You are an old man... the old man. The problems you see must be more profound. Have you given up on me now? Of course, the proposal is for my own good."
"You are not cruel enough!! Yuan Zhifeng said directly.
Yang Rui was a little surprised. He didn't understand why he suddenly said this.
Yuan Zhifeng said slowly: "People are in the world and can't help but behave, and society is the same. Sometimes some things need to be more cruel. You are no longer an ordinary person. Whether as our successor or your own future, you will inevitably encounter a lot of trouble. If you are not more cruel, you will be eaten by others."
He just told Yuan Yan about it, and it was also arranged by Yuan Yan, but who is Yuan Zhifeng? Of course, it is impossible to hide it from him.
Looking at his eyes, Yang Rui vaguely understood a little and smiled bitterly: "You mean someone wants to kill me during the Chinese New Year? I have locked in the people behind the scenes, but for some reason I..."
He wanted to say, "I have my own arrangements, and I won't be completely passive, but my plan has not been revealed yet." However, if it seems a bit reluctant to do this, it's better to know it yourself.
"Haha, although you didn't tell me directly, I can guess one or two. Since I would like to remind you like this, I naturally hope that you can be more cruel. In the face of huge benefits, even fathers and sons cannot be lenient. Any principle is valuable and limited. People can kill you for the sake of profit, so what else do you have to be kind?"
Seeing Yang Rui listening carefully, but seemed unable to accept such a concept, Yuan Zhifeng sighed and then persuaded: "Yang Rui, I don't think I'm out for a mess, so the concept of this is too biased. In fact, let alone passive counterattacks, it is an active plunder. In this society, it is very common.
Take the city we live in for example. This is where you were born. Maybe you should have a deep relationship, but have you ever understood it? Most people in this city have no sense of belonging. This is related to an immigrant city with only a few decades of history. In fact, except for the birthplace of your generation, even the indigenous people, they also have no sense of belonging to Shenzhen."
Yang Rui looked at him in confusion, why did he suddenly talk about the sense of belonging in the city?
"It's very simple. In addition to the above pilot model, Shenzhen is a plundering starter! In the eyes of many older local indigenous people and Hong Kong people in their ancestral homes, Shenzhen can be regarded as a guy who "exorcized his father and destroyed his ancestors"!
As the iconic Shenzhen of reform and opening up, the propaganda has always been said that it has changed from a small fishing village to an international metropolis. In fact, if you look at it in depth, this is a shameless statement. Of course, any propaganda needs to be exaggerated. The original Bao'an County is already quite famous at home and abroad. It is a model area for China to show off its capitalism in Xiangrong. However, its hard work has been carried out for more than 20 years and was fully accepted by Shenzhen in one fell swoop. All the achievements of a leading county that has developed for 20 years have become the overnight development results of a small fishing village.
Originally, Shenzhen, the son's land, was regarded as a pilot, was upgraded one after another. It jumped from a small town to a sub-provincial city. It occupied the magpie's nest and occupied the Bao'an County Government as its existing position. It drove the "dad" from the Fengshui treasure land that had been working hard for more than 20 years to outside the sparsely populated pass, and gave him ten million to build another county town on a wasteland. This was not enough. He also used a cold barbed wire to isolate the "dad from the central government's preferential policies, and he needed a border guard permit to enter and exit.
Hehe, when the city was first established, he abandoned Bao'an as a burden. Later, Shenzhen lost its land, so he claimed that Bao'an, which has a large area of development-friendly land, and did not allow it to go independently. Of course, Bao'an, which has hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Hong Kong, absorbed the huge Hong Kong stunt by inviting wealthy relatives from Hong Kong to run a factory. Without the discount of the special zone, it has now developed into a wealthy area in China that is the first and richest in the country. "Yang Rui heard that many of the history of the land were not what he knew. He was surprised when he heard it. Then he sighed, "Shenzhen cannot replace Bao'an in the past, and Bao'an District in the present cannot replace Bao'an in history. The sense of belonging is very abstract. For many people, as long as they have money, others can be forgotten soon."
Yuan Zhifeng angrily smashed a ping-pong ball on his face: "What I want to say is not a question of belonging, but what I remind you is not only for me, but for a city and a country's policies, all the same problem!"
Yang Rui lowered his head and thought about it. In this city that has lived for twenty years, the miracle model is said to be a bit unacceptable in addition to opportunities and discounts, and to expel his father and ancestors and plunder them to start a family.
"The country needs a special case. Of course, it is necessary to fully support it. It is understandable to package a new city on the basis of the old ones. For the sake of the overall situation, it is understandable to get rid of some of the burdens." Yuan Zhifeng said slowly, and then once again expressed his own point of view: "In this case, the individual is just a microcosm. If you want to achieve great things, you cannot be ruthless. For those who drag down development, you should abandon it. For those who suffer from harm, you should solve it decisively!"
Yang Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Old man, I understand what you mean. I have my own decision now. Let's say that, I don't think it's time yet. But before the solution is resolved, I will protect my safety."
