There is a Houhei school in China. The leader is Li Zongwu. His slogan is: "Thick-skinned, dark-hearted", hence the name: "Houhei". I heard that Li’s final result is that to be an official you need to be thick and black, and to do business you need to be thick and black. As long as you want to get ahead, the word thick and black is inseparable. It seems that those who are more honest are really not good at it. Way to survive!
In fact, this is not the case. Look at those thick and black people, not every one of them has a good ending. He Shen of the Qing Dynasty was a man of great power, rich and powerful, rich and shady, he was a model, but in the end, his entire family was executed.
Most of the people who were involved in the underworld originally wanted to quit as soon as they made a deal, and once they had the capital, they could start a new life in an upright manner, but in fact it was very difficult to quit. Because money comes easily and I am used to big things, I am too lazy to do those little things. What's more, if the underworld has gone smoothly, it will feel awkward to let him go on the right path.
But there are a few people in the underworld who can die a happy death!
It seems that you can get rich quickly by doing crooked business, but it won’t last long. It comes and goes quickly. Crooked business usually relies on specific environments and channels, and is highly dependent. Once a certain link If it fails, the business will also fail. There will be no follow-up financial resources, and the money earned will be squandered quickly. In the end, it will inevitably be back to the starting point.
This kind of ending is quite good. Crooked business always cannot see the bright sunshine, often walking at night, and always encounter ghosts, whether it is a gangster, or being exposed, and being imprisoned. With the law, the risks you take are far greater than in ordinary business. If evil does not prevail over good, you don't know which day the boat will capsize, and you may even lose your property and life.
The most important thing is that once you taste the sweetness of crooked business, you will no longer want to do those stupid things, and you will not be willing to focus on down-to-earth business management. Business cannot be done with much fanfare at the end of the day. In the long run, those who really want to be successful are better off being upright and making money legitimately.
Before a swordsman comes on stage, he often drinks a bowl of wine. Once the wine is drunk, his courage will become stronger, and he can strike with stability and ruthlessness. It can be seen that the axeman himself knew that what he was cutting was a human head. Although he drank to strengthen his courage, his heart was still weak after all, and he had no sense of accomplishment after the chop. A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way
Confucius said: "A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way." This sentence has two meanings. One is to say that the world expects gentlemen to love money, and the other is to remind A gentleman should choose it wisely. Although this was proposed by the sage Confucius more than 2,000 years ago, these two well-known sayings have not become outdated to this day, and are still given new connotations with the changes of the times.
"Wealth" means money. From the day when humans use money, it has been regarded as a special commodity of general equivalent. It has accompanied humans through every spring, summer, autumn and winter. It is an indispensable thing in human life and has been in human society. Playing the dual roles of angel and devil in life, which also brings you joy and trouble.
Money also plays another role. It can make you its slave, it can make you forget yourself and act recklessly, and it can make you a prisoner. Money can make people feel arrogant, but it can never buy the emptiness in their hearts; money can buy a beautiful smile, but it cannot buy loyal love; money can buy a luxurious villa, but it can never buy a warm family; Money can bring customers to your doorstep, but it cannot buy pure friendship. How many people struggle for money, how many people chase money, and how many people pay the price for money.
"Tao" refers to method. Since money is an indispensable thing in human life, it must be obtained in a wise way. However, the method of obtaining it varies from case to case and from person to person. The "wealth" obtained through labor, sweat, honesty, and credit is the right path; the "wealth" obtained through crimes such as theft, robbery, and extortion is the evil path; the "wealth" obtained through power, coercion, and other means is the corrupt path. We encourage everyone to use the right path to obtain "wealth", crack down on those who obtain "wealth" on the evil path, and be wary of those who amass "wealth" on the corrupt path.
The new connotation of "a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way" is given by many corrupt elements. From the exposed criminal tracks of corrupt elements, it is easy to see that they have all committed crimes on many occasions and At the meeting, the words "A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely" were used to warn subordinates to be honest, self-disciplined and clean. However, corrupt elements use this "gentleman loves money and gets it wisely" as a shield to cover up their ugly face. In fact, what they want to show is that he also loves money, but they also imply that your tribute should be given cleverly and covertly, and you should create opportunities for him to get it in a wise way. This "opportunity" not only allows him to accept it with peace of mind, but also leaves no trace. Therefore, they know that it is safest to conduct a one-to-one cash transaction. Even if there is any mistake, this one-to-one evidence cannot be identified. Here, on the one hand, they use "a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way" as the best excuse for being honest and self-disciplined. On the other hand, they also imply that they want him to get the "wealth" in a concealed and clever way. Cheng Kejie, who went to the guillotine, amassed more than 40 million yuan under the guise of "a gentleman loves money and gets it wisely." Doesn't this prove this problem?
Today I revisit the saying of Confucius that "a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way", and I have another feeling! The most important thing is to get it wisely
It is very right for a person to pursue money.
Wealth is the source of life. In order to live and survive, everyone in life cannot do without it. However, "a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way" should be the correct concept for every person seeking wealth. Dao is a road, and there are thousands of roads in the world, but Chinese people all know that there are two roads to take, namely the right way and the evil way. You have chosen the right path, and there is nothing wrong with it. You work hard and abide by the law. However, you get twice the result with twice the result. Some people not only fail to make a fortune but also lose it. They spend their lives because of their wealth and suffer disaster. Things like this often happen around us, so many people have doubts about "a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way", so they choose to go down the wrong path and step into the dark swamp...
< p>Each of us has our own birthday, and we all have a destiny that is different from others. If you do a career that other people are engaged in that can make you rich, you are likely to lose money; if you do a career that others think will make you lose money, you are likely to make a lot of money. This is the so-called destiny. The less you know about destiny, the worse you will fall in the end.Therefore, "A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way." Tao can be understood as: a correct path that suits you, a path that guides the macroscopic trajectory of your life. Although today's numerology has not been favored by everyone, it has been handed down from ancient times to the present with its tenacious vitality. The reason is that it can guide you how to walk correctly.
A person's wealth or poverty is actually marked in his life. The horoscopes that look very ordinary actually have deep mysteries. If you are destined to be rich, and you choose to pursue literature instead of doing business, opportunities will not favor you despite your hard work and dedication.
Where does wealth come from? Although our life is long, the key is only a few steps. Please pay attention to your own destiny!
