Wong Kar-wai's TV series debut "Flowers" caused a huge response. This adaptation is based on the Mao Dun Literature Award winner Jin Yucheng's name**, with its 8With a high score of 2, it has become the number one phenomenal work at the beginning of 2024. In Tencent** station, its popularity once exceeded 29,000, and the ratings of CCTV's eight sets of premieres broke 2 in 10 minutes, and the peak ratings reached 26。Director Wong Kar-wai said in an interview: "On the surface, "Flowers" is about men and women, but inside it is the mountains and rivers, and the times are changing. In addition to the strong color of the times, the ups and downs of the plot and the superb acting skills of the old actors, this popular period drama also contains many deep meanings of life.
For example, at the beginning of the TV series, Ah Bao went to ask his uncle to go out of the mountains to help him break into Shanghai. Uncle pointed out Bao one by one from the fabric of the suit, the pomp and circumstance needed, and the principle of doing business. Uncle said, "A man should have three wallets. The first is the money actually owned; The second is credit, where others are willing to give you money; The third is how much money others think you have. This sentence has profound implications in business and life.
In this world, everyone's dealings with money are inevitable. Some people regard money as dung, and as a result, they hit a wall in reality; Some people spend extravagantly and run out of good fortune early. It is only at a certain age that people can understand: a person's wallet is his place in society. Only when the wallet is puffed up can we have the confidence to choose and live independently and with dignity.
Reiko in the play is a typical example. She originally worked in a hotel in Ginza, Japan, and after meeting Mr. Bao, the two cherished each other and ran a restaurant together. After becoming a proprietress lady, Reiko did not splurge lavishly, but tried every means to save money in her wallet. She lives in a house with dripping water all year round, and she can save money in life.
Not only that, but she also used the name of Mr. Bao to take all kinds of business to herself: when someone came to Mr. Bao, she charged a high fee for tea and pastries; When Mr. Fan's Sanyang brand was listed, she moved out of the total inventory of Bao to make a profit. These details all show Reiko's tenacity and wisdom in life. Synchronous sales with counters, lucrative. At first glance, Reiko seems to only value profits, and the baht must be compared. However, when she saw that Mr. Bao was not a permanent backer, the wealth she had accumulated gave her the courage to start over. She chose to study Japanese cuisine in Japan and incorporated it into Shanghai's local cuisine. With its unique taste and expertise, the new store has gradually gained a foothold.
As Zhang Ailing said: "Money is not everything, but without money, it is difficult to move an inch." "In the journey of life, we should keep our wallets tight, never spend money that should not be spent, and save money that should be saved. Only in this way can we have the right to choose in the face of life's challenges, and we can have enough confidence in the face of the provocations of others. Reputation is the second wallet that people operate, and integrity is the key to building a good reputation. Po's experience with each other proves this. He successfully tested the ** specified by his grandfather and waited patiently at the appointed time. This shows that he has integrity and a sense of responsibility, and ultimately won the trust of his grandfather. Mr. Bao's success also lies in the fact that he does what he says, he once promised to help Miss Wang get promoted, and later fulfilled his promise. He helped Sanyang brand go public, making Mr. Fan a popular choice in the eyes of investors. He fulfilled his promise to Reiko and fulfilled her dream of being a boss lady. He always adheres to integrity, which has won him more partners and a good reputation.
Cao Dewang once said: "Everything in life is the brick of the historical edifice." The damage of a brick can cause pressure on the height of the building, causing the building to collapse. Yu Minhong's perseverance to customers and employees in difficult times is the key to New Oriental's turnaround. Credit is a valuable personal asset, honest and trustworthy, bright and upright, in order to establish a standing golden signboard. Manage other people's wallets to stabilize the situation, and the third wallet is the wealth assessment in the eyes of others. In interpersonal communication, image, conversation and courage are the key to initial judgment. Bao successfully established the image of "Mr. Bao" by staying at the Peace Hotel, entering and exiting Huanghe Road every day, and signing large orders with Boss Ma. With millions of assets, he challenged the Southern State Investment Institution, which had 200 million yuan in funds, and won the victory with his extraordinary courage and rational analysis. However, not everyone can be convinced.
What really made Mr. Bao famous was the pattern of his wealth. He is willing to share information, multi-party cooperation, and pursue a win-win situation, so everyone is willing to cooperate with him from the No. 27 Foreign Trade Bureau, Shanghai Union Commercial Building to Shanghai Garment Company, and Li Li, the owner of Zhizhenyuan. He even let his friends not lose money, such as sending a small Taotao's "mobile wallet", opening a night for Reiko in Tokyo, and providing Miss Wang with the most ** car support scene. "Lao Cai, Stamp Li, Fat Aunt and all their companions along the way have been handsomely rewarded for following him. He was open-minded, bold and valued friendship. With these three points, Mr. Bao has emerged in the Shanghai business community and written a legend of wealth.
As Robert Pound said, "A person's aura, style, and attitude towards people determine how far their path can go." The decency, pattern and open-mindedness he showed for gains and losses eventually won the support and recognition of many people. Professor Zeng once said: "Although Chinese usually avoid talking about money directly, many of the wisdom of life is realized from money. The experience summed up by Mr. Bao in the business war - Uncle Grandpa's "three wallets" theory - is not only applicable to the business war in Shanghai, but also a valuable suggestion to the universal people. Keeping your wallet, maintaining your credit, and always being altruistic are the best ways to think about wealth at all times.
