Xu Jiayin and Zhang Yiming both smashed the merit monument.Since ancient times, for the rich, the rich are benevolent.
Two years ago, Zhang Yiming donated 2.66 million yuan to rebuild the ancestral hall of the clan, and the people of his hometown felt his deeds and built a merit monument for him according to customs and practices, called "spiritual idol".
However, the latest development is that after Zhang Yiming learned of the situation, he actively communicated with his hometown and dismantled his merit monument.
Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night.
Although Zhang Yiming was not exempt from the custom of "returning to his hometown", he still kept a low profile in his heart for the high-profile "**".
However, the ashes of history always exude a residual warmth of "similarity".
This inevitably reminds me of Xu Jiayin in the detention center.
When Evergrande was unlimited, Boss Xu was also named "Liufang Baishi" in his hometown of Zhoukou, Henan Province in 2005 because of his hometown donation to help students and pave roads and build bridges.
Coincidentally, this monument was erased by the villagers during the Evergrande thunderstorm that year.

The difference is that Zhang Yiming's monument was demolished by himself.
Xu Jiayin's monument was destroyed.
Come to think of it, Boss Xu, who spent the Spring Festival in the detention center for the first time this year, must be full of sorrow in his heart, if he heard the story of Zhang Yiming's "donation to demolish the monument", will there be a trace of sadness in his heart?
After solving the problem of survival, the biggest trouble is how to compete for fame and fortune.
Chinese entrepreneurs, everyone is a "philanthropist" is the most convincing footnote.
And that merit monument is also the "name" that Zhang Yiming and Xu Jiayin both want after completing the identity transformation of the "top rich".
In essence, it belongs to a traditional Chinese story of "returning home".
From the perspective of human nature, to be born as human beings is to be born in search of social identity.
From a practical point of view, after the success of the cause, it is understandable to renovate the ancestral hall for the hometown, donate to the school or the road and bridge, and as the hometown to express gratitude and make meritorious monuments, it is a "gift exchange".

I believe that whether it is Zhang Yiming or Xu Jiayin's clansmen, they are full of gratitude, even pride and pride at the moment when they make meritorious monuments.
Because as donors and beneficiaries, they are more like a two-way journey to each other.
But once this event spreads to the public, the public, as pure spectators, may not see pure love for their hometown. In the extended discourse system, it is inevitable to enter the category of self-show-off of "returning to the hometown".
This is an out-and-out "black spot" in the character of Chinese people, who have always been known for their "introverted" and "modest".
Presumably, Zhang Yiming saw this and decided to dismantle the merit monument himself.
And Boss Xu woke up at the moment when Evergrande thundered and "Liufang Baishi" was picked off, and it turned out that this TM was all floating clouds.

When Xu Jiayin was drunk, he asked his subordinates: How can I live for generations?
So there is a story on the merit tablet: "Xu Jiayin cultivates talents for the country, benefits future generations, and lasts for generations".
Now Boss Xu is indeed going to be passed on to future generations, but it is not the kind of "eternal life".
Zhang Yiming and Xu Jiayin, in the same way, they have completed their social identity in the "two-way rush" with their hometown.
The difference is that Zhang Yiming understands the true connotation of "rich and secret" better than Boss Xu.
Although they are at this moment in the "30-year Hedong" and the other in the "30-year Hexi", the "suffering" is probably the same
In the past few days, SORA has caused Zhang Yiming no less "torment" than Boss Xu who needs to "grit his teeth" in the detention center.
The difference is that Zhang Yiming, who is standing on the "stage", thinks about how to further conquer the world.
Xu Jiayin, who fell off the altar, considered how to spend the rest of his life in prison like "The Shawshank Redemption".
Assets are personalized, debts are corporatized, and crises are socialized.
This is the crime and punishment of Evergrande and Xu Jiayin.
But compared with the business legend of "seeing him raise Zhu Lou and watching him feast guests", people may be more willing to watch the tragedy of "seeing his building collapse".
Just like the collapse of the LeTV empire back then,".Jia Yueting will return to China next weekFrom the Evergrande thunderstorm in 2021 to the end of last year, Xu Jiayin was arrested, whether it was Boss Xu himself or that 2The huge debt of 4 trillion yuan has deduced a "Evergrande literature" on the Internet, nourishing countless viewers.

It's hard to talk about the story behind their rapid rise and collapse, but probably no one would have thought that such a cruel business world would have such a "dramatic" side:
LeTV, Jia Yueting, Evergrande, Xu Jiayin, they all contributed the last "joke" and a steady stream of talking points to the Chinese Internet world with an unusually tragic curtain call.
It is said that comedy and tragedy have a common core, but in fact, they are also two sides of the same coin:
The shareholders who were trapped by LeTV and the buyers who were miserable by Evergrande were naturally the victims of this "tragedy", but most netizens who had nothing to do with it saw the drama of "crashing" in Jia Yueting and Xu Jiayin.
In my opinion, this dramatization is not limited to the infinite space of interpretation that collides between the transition of their lives from the peak to the bottomIt is more about the venting of people's "karma-style" pleasure at the disastrous consequences they have caused to countless individuals and societies.
For example, Liu Qiangdong donated more than 20 billion to his hometown in 10 years, but as soon as the X invasion case came out, the door of his hometown was splashed with paint.
For example, Pan Shiyi sells 100 million apples to his hometown every year, but in the end, the ancestral grave was dug up by the village.
You see,The way people express their grievances is as simple and crude as that
In fact, such stories are not exclusive to modern society, and their internal logic is in the same vein as history.

If you have read Hu Xueyan's biography, you will definitely find that Hu Xueyan's ability to move around in officialdom and business in the late Qing Dynasty and the ending of defeat in only three days are similar to today's Jia Yueting, Xu Jiayin and others.
If the Qing Dynasty also had the Internet, then the jokes made up by former Qing netizens for Hu Xueyan must be no worse than those made up by contemporary netizens for Jia Yueting and Xu Jiayin.
Interestingly, Hu Xueyan also liked charity back then, and was a well-known "Hu Dashan man" in Shanghai and Hangzhou, and his clansmen also set up a merit monument for him.
It's just that I don't know who demolished this monument.
You see, history is strikingly similar again.
The other day I read an article "After Sora, we have a new kind of "technological inferiority".
Many people in the background left messages saying that in fact, we do not have inferiority in technology, but we always play different tricks every time. While everyone else is studying AI, our "AI gods" are studying how to develop AI courses to "cut leeks".
I said at the end of that article,Rather than asking, why was OpenAI not born in China? How can we give birth to our openAI?
In fact, Xu Jiayin's life story has "**".
In the early years, Evergrande had a gift called "Evergrande Treasure Book". But the book is not a book, but a small box made of Italian cowhide, which contains commemorative coins, one gold and one silver.
On some important occasions, Boss Xu will appear with the Evergrande Treasure Book and give it to some people who need to send it.
If you go further, the famous Needham problem can also provide an explanation:
In "The History of Science and Technology in China", he proposed: "Although ancient China made many important contributions to the development of human science and technology, why did the scientific and industrial revolution not occur in modern China? ”
Later, the sinologist Fairbank also expressed his own confusion"Why can't the Chinese merchant class get rid of its dependence on officialdom and build its own independent power?" ”
For this reason, he also made an image metaphor of a mousetrap: ".Chinese businessmen have a completely different idea from Western entrepreneurs: the Chinese tradition is not to make a better mousetrap, but how to get the privilege of catching mice
Did you find out? In fact, this is not Xu Jiayin's dilemma alone, for thousands of years, Chinese businessmen and entrepreneurs seem to be facing a "Xu Jiayin-style" dilemma - not purely as a businessman.
To paraphrase a sentence from his peer "Uncle Ni": technology has never changed anything about this nation, and what is still in the shell of Xu Jiayin's body today is the ancient soul of Hu Xueyan three centuries ago.
And after Xu Jiayin, whose shell will this ancient "soul" be put into?
There is no one to answer.
