Today I will tell a story related to money.
Is more money better? Of course, that's what people generally think. And one more question: is money everything? My story will tell you that this is not always the case.
This story has changed my perspective on money, and as for readers, I don't know what you will think after reading it. But that's okay, listen to me finish this short story.
This story happened in our company.
The protagonist of the story was originally a poor boy, a personable college student who had just graduated from school, and after just twenty years, he became a family fortune of tens of millions, but it seemed that in the blink of an eye, his body was wasted and he became a terminally ill person.
This person was originally in the same company as me, but belonged to a different department. Our company is a local state-owned enterprise. He can speak well, is handsome and chic, and is strong and strong, so he is favored by the general manager and sets up a department for him to engage in first-class trading work. The so-called ** trading, simply put, is that the company transfers funds to his account, and he purchases rough processing ** from all over the country, and then smelts it into finished gold by the company, and trades it on the Shanghai ** Exchange to earn some processing fees. After five or six years in this job, he quit his job and started his own company. He opened a hotel and a ** jewelry store, and made a lot of money. Later, he became the chairman of a chamber of commerce and obtained the title of a local CPPCC member.
We all envy him, but envy is envy, who told you not to have this life? However, then the plot began to take a sharp turn.
This darling of fate is rich and rich, and naturally has a lot of entertainment. He likes to drink, and he toasts frequently at banquets, and he is not drunk with eight out of ten glasses. I had the privilege of attending a dinner party hosted by him, and I could only look at him with envy for his boldness.
After that, it was rare to see him once, after all, he was a dignified boss, his business was prosperous, and he was flying from the south to the north, not that my generation could only keep a nest for many years.
A few years have passed, and I heard that he has tens of millions of assets and opened a few more companies. As a business person, as long as the wind is smooth and the career is prosperous, it is normal. We could only watch him ...... in a big way
Last winter, I was sent out to work for a few years and came back and was invited to a dinner party. He also came, wearing a hat, a mask, and sunglasses......I didn't recognize him at first, but after he sat down, he took off his mask and sunglasses and recognized him: his hands were as thin as chicken feet, his huge belly was missing, his face was yellow, his description was withered, and he had a pair of godless cross-eyed ......In stark contrast, the wife sitting next to him is still so delicate.
