Chapter 5739 I'm Just Talking

The taxi driver in Washington never thought that he would pick up Lin Feng. For them, this is definitely rarer than picking up the US president one day.

The US president occasionally takes a taxi alone, which is a way for them to show their closeness to the people. But for a super-super-rich man like Lin Feng, this kind of show is undoubtedly useless. Moreover, people like Lin Feng always go in and out in a special car, and people like him will never take a taxi.

But today, he actually picked up a passenger and picked up Lin Feng, which shocked the taxi driver very much. The whole person was stunned in an instant.

It is said that Americans are used to seeing big people, and they are not as terrified as Chinese people when they see leaders. Indeed, this is true. In China, ordinary people will feel inferior when they see leaders. Isn't this all about official power! Of course, to put it nicely, it's called aura.

Many people feel that those leaders have an inexplicable aura, and the strong aura makes people dare not look directly at them, and they all focus on them. In fact, what is this? This is nothing more than a slave yoke imposed on the Chinese people by Confucianism for five thousand years.

What does Confucianism say? The core idea is benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness, but the most common saying is: Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parents and Teachers. And this is also the object of worship for Chinese Confucianists, and they often set up tablets or banners for Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parents and Teachers in the central hall.

Of course, strictly speaking, it should be called Confucianism. It's just that there are all kinds of masters in this sect, and they have their own slightly different core values. In addition, once it is called a sect, it is inevitable that there is religious suspicion. Therefore, it is called Confucianism. This is also a symbol of the Chinese people's intelligence.

The saying of Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parents and Teachers originated from "Guoyu" and was formed in "Xunzi". It began to prevail in the ideological and academic circles of the Western Han Dynasty. Since the late Ming Dynasty, worshiping Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parents and Teachers has become more popular among the people.

Among these Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parents and Teachers, offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth originated from natural worship. In ancient China, Heaven was the supreme god and dominated everything. The earth matched the sky and nurtured all things. Offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth meant obeying the will of Heaven and thanking creation. The worship of the king originated from the concept of divine right of kings. Since the king was the symbol of the country in feudal society, the worship of the king also meant praying for peace and prosperity for the country and the people. The worship of relatives is also the worship of ancestors, which developed from the primitive ancestor worship.

So, this is a yoke that locks the Chinese people firmly in it. Thousands of years of slave mentality. When the Chinese see officials, they are instinctively timid. Naturally, they feel that their official power is mighty.

This often sits together for dinner, and naturally the officials are the center, and everyone unites in front of the leader. Do you really say that he has any official power? Really put everyone on an isolated island, one official, one civilian, no hope of rescue, see who will pay attention to whom.

There is indeed no such slave mentality abroad. However, it does not mean that Chinese people do not worship. For Lin Feng, Americans. At first, they also looked at it as a curiosity. But with Lin Feng's success, Americans also began to pursue Lin Feng's success.

Lin Feng is so successful that naturally people imitate reads();. They all want to be Lin Feng. Because like Bill Gates. Whether it is Buffett or someone else, they were very old when they succeeded. Even if there are young ones, such as the "Gemini" and Mark Zuckerberg under Lin Feng, they are all older than Lin Feng.

Moreover, the most critical point is that they are far less successful than Lin Feng. And. They do not speak for the disadvantaged groups like Lin Feng.

It can be said that in the United States. Many people at the bottom still admire Lin Feng. Especially this time, the stock market collapsed. Who is unlucky? It sounds like those who speculate in stocks are unlucky,

but once the economy is good, the whole society will be destroyed and will pay the price for it. And the first to be unlucky are the people at the bottom of society.

Because the people at the bottom of society have the worst ability to resist risks.

Isn't there a fable about a rich man going on vacation in a fishing village and seeing a fisherman who can catch a lot of fish every day, but he only catches a little every day and then goes home to rest. The rich man was surprised and asked him why he didn't catch more. The fisherman asked why he had to catch more fish.

The rich man said, if you catch more fish, you can buy a big boat, and then you can catch more fish. Then, you can buy a bigger fishing boat. In this way, you can set up a company, and then list the company and become a multi-millionaire.

The fisherman asked, what's next?

The rich man said, then you can find a place to fish, smoke, and spend your days leisurely.

The fisherman shrugged, isn't that how I live now?

The rich man was speechless.

The story ends here. The moral is that people should not blindly pursue wealth. But in fact, the continuation of this story is that the rich man came to this fishing village a few years later and lived a leisurely life like the fisherman.

But as the fisherman got older, he caught less and less fish, and it was no longer enough to meet his daily life. His quality of life began to decline. The rich man was in poor health and couldn't catch any fish, even no fish, but he had money, no worries about food and drink, and still lived a leisurely life every day.

Later, a tsunami destroyed the fisherman's fishing boat, completely cutting off his source of income. As for the rich man, he also lost his fishing boat. But he bought another one.

The fishermen fished every day, and their life became even more miserable. But the rich man still enjoyed a comfortable life. This made the fishermen sigh. As the saying goes, misfortunes never come alone, but blessings never come in pairs. One day, the fisherman fell ill.

He fell ill, seriously ill! But he had no money. He couldn't even eat enough before, so how could he have money!

Just as he was about to die of illness, a rich man came. He paid for his medicine and bought him a fishing boat after he recovered.

Then the rich man finally said: Now you know why I want to make so much money.

This story tells us that people at the bottom of society are the worst at dealing with risks. Often a natural disaster* will lead to the destruction of their families. And if the US stock market collapses, will the middle class have a hard time?

It is true that their lives will be much harder, but that hardship refers to the deterioration of their quality of life, not their survival. They can still guarantee a rich supply of food. On the contrary, people at the bottom of society will have a hard time. They will start to worry about survival.

For example, taxi drivers belong to the bottom of society in the United States. The income they earn is just enough to make a living. After all, driving in the United States is really a skill that everyone has. Basically, many Americans will apply for a driver's license at the age of 16. They have been driving since childhood.

Only people who have no skills will choose to be taxi driversreads();. The income can naturally be imagined. Lin Feng saved the US stock market and the US economy, and saved these people at the bottom of society from living in poverty. They were naturally grateful.

"Lin, Lin, Mr. Lin, hello, hello!" the taxi driver said excitedly.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Master, help me go to the Capitol! I'm in a hurry to ask for accountability. If I'm late, they will inevitably use this as an excuse to trouble me!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

The taxi driver nodded repeatedly.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely take you there as quickly as possible!" The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the taxi immediately flew out like an arrow.

This way, it was like a flash of lightning, and a white horse passed by in a flash.

But American police is a very dedicated profession. This taxi driver drove so fast, needless to say, he was immediately spotted by the police. Immediately, the siren sounded and asked him to pull over.

"Mr. Lin, sit down. These policemen want to chase me!" The driver sneered, stepped on the accelerator, and the speed increased again.

Lin Feng was a little amused. Although he said he was in a hurry, it was just a joke. You wouldn't drive so fast.

"Well, Master, you should pay attention to safety, pay attention to safety!" Lin Feng had to remind him.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I have been driving for 28 years and have never had an accident. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I used to be a professional racing driver, but later I was injured and became a taxi driver!" The driver boasted.

He boasted here, but his work was not slow. This car, like a clever little yellow snake, shuttled quickly in the traffic. The policeman was thrown away in the blink of an eye.

But the police have an advantage, they are in large numbers. Soon, more police appeared. Lin Feng looked over and saw that there were at least a dozen police cars. They whined and asked the driver to stop.

"Mr. Lin, it's no good, I have to call for help!" The driver picked up the microphone and started calling his friends.

"*, Bullet, you're driving so fast. I was wondering, when did Washington have such a crazy driver? It turned out to be you. What, you're bored with taxi driving, you're ready to become a racer again?" A teasing voice came from the intercom.

"Don't make a fuss, I have something important to do. I'm sending a guest to the Capitol. He's in a hurry!" The driver said hurriedly, "Help me block these policemen."

"*, what guest is it that makes you work so hard, President? Even if he's the President, it's not worth our lives for him!" Many drivers cursed.

"No, it's Lin Feng, it's Lin Feng. Fengshen, Lin Feng!" The driver said anxiously.

There are more and more police cars, no matter how good his driving skills are, he still needs space. The police compressed his space completely, and he naturally had no choice. Wait a little longer, and he will have nowhere to run.

"What? Lin Feng? Fengshen? He's in your car?" All the drivers were furious. They were low-level people, and they still admired Lin Feng very much. Especially this time, Lin Feng turned the tide and publicly denounced the Morgan and other big financial groups, which made them admire him.

"Okay, Bullet, don't panic, we are here to help you!" Taxi drivers throughout Washington were excited. (To be continued.)
