Chapter 205 People are different
"Brother Xu, I think your analogy is not quite right."

"You can only live for one day, and those big bosses can only control a few hours a day. This should be a completely different concept, right?"

"I can only live for one day, so the money will be useless to me, so I will spend money lavishly."

"But if I can live a long time but only have less spare time, then I definitely won't spend so much money."

What Zheng Yue said seemed to make sense, but in fact he still fell into a misunderstanding.

Xu Wen stretched and explained: "Let me put it this way, if you usually go to buy groceries, but the vegetable market is about four kilometers away from your home, what kind of transportation will you choose to buy groceries?"

Zheng Yue said without hesitation: "Of course I'll take the bus."

"It's four kilometers away, which is about a dozen bus stops. We'll be there soon."

Xu Wen smiled slightly and then asked:
"Why don't you choose to walk?"

Zheng Yue's eyes widened and she said in confusion: "This is four kilometers. It takes at least more than an hour to walk there. It only takes me twenty minutes to take the bus."

"Besides, buses are not expensive. You can ride there for only two yuan."

Zheng Yue felt that her answer was correct.

Who knew Xu Wen smiled and said: "Look, this is the difference in thinking."

"You spend two yuan to take the bus and save forty minutes compared to walking."

"And those who choose to walk spend forty minutes longer than you and save two dollars."

"What does this story tell us?"

Zheng Yue shook her head and didn't react for a while.

Xu Wen explained: "This story tells us that although everyone has twenty-four hours a day, some people's time is valuable and some people's time is not valuable."

“Some people spend money to save time, and some people spend time to save money.”

“That’s the essence of living life well.”

As soon as Xu Wen said these words, Zheng Yue was enlightened, and netizens in the live broadcast room even exclaimed in surprise.

"Holy shit! What happened! Did Xu Gou just say a brain teaser?"

"No brother, why do I think what he said makes sense?"

"Okay, okay, you're here to brainwash me, right? Xu Gou, I really belong to you!"

"It's all in Chinese. Why do I feel like I understand it, but I don't seem to understand it?"

"It's normal brother, Xu Gou has been talking like this lately, just get used to it."

Zheng Yue felt the same as netizens at this time, and she continued to be confused.

Some people's time is valuable, and some people's time is not valuable?

Damn it, is this something that anyone can sum up?
It feels cold and heartless, but it seems to be true.

"Brother Xu, you...speak slowly, I feel like my mind is a little hard to turn around."

Zheng Yue's reaction was within Xu Wen's expectation.

Xu Wen simply explained the truth clearly to Zheng Yue.

"Let me put it this way, if you calculate your salary based on daily wages, then no matter how high your work intensity is, it won't be much higher unless the competition for your position is fierce."

"On the contrary, if you calculate your salary based on hourly wages, then your work intensity will naturally increase, and you will be in a very excited and busy state."

Xu Wen asked, "How much is your daily salary now?"

Zheng Yue subconsciously replied: "One hundred and fifty yuan."

Xu Wen nodded. "I calculate that if you work ten hours a day, your hourly wage will be fifteen dollars."

"When you know you make fifteen dollars an hour, what does it do to you?"

"The biggest use is that it will determine your consumption outlook."

"Look, your hourly salary is fifteen yuan, so you may think that spending two yuan to save forty minutes is a good deal. You may even think that spending thirty yuan to save forty minutes seems acceptable."

"But if you were asked to spend sixty yuan to save forty minutes, you might think about it carefully. Why? Because sixty yuan is already close to half a day's salary."

"Exchanging half a day for 40 minutes is obviously not a good deal."

Zheng Yue wasn't stupid either. Xu Wendu explained the truth so clearly that she reacted instantly.

"I understand Brother Xu, no wonder those bosses on TV always like to use money to solve problems, because for them the most valuable thing is no longer money, but time!"

Xu Wen nodded.

"Yes, you are not stupid, you figured it out so quickly."

With Xu Wen's encouragement, Zheng Yue continued to think deeper and suddenly understood a very terrifying fact.

"Brother Xu, if we calculate according to what you said, then people... seem to be different."

Xu Wen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zheng Yue to notice the core contradiction of this calculation method so quickly.

"Yes, if everyone calculates their own value according to this logic, then everyone is indeed different."

"It can even be said that the gap between humans is greater than that between humans and dogs."

"Not only time, but also happiness, health, partners, friends, ideals... anything that can be bought with money is not precious to those who are truly rich."

"In order to buy these things that are not precious, rich people will work harder and use more unscrupulous means to make money, and in the end they will become monsters who only know how to make money."

Xu Wen's words made everyone shudder.

No wonder the old saying always says that people become bad once they have money. This makes sense!

This kind of change is actually not that people want to change, but that they have to make changes in order to make more money.

Zheng Yue couldn't help but look at Xu Wen.

"Brother Xu, do you want to become a rich man?"

Xu Wen said without hesitation: "I think so."

"But I don't want to live as tiredly as those rich people, so you see, I'm looking for a way to make money and sleep peacefully at the same time."

Zheng Yue:......

Zheng Yue found herself surrounded by Xu Wen.

After doing this for a long time, you are just making excuses for your failure, right?

Netizens in the live broadcast room were also laughing.

"Made, I thought it was a serious business class, but I didn't expect it was Xu Gou making excuses."

"Holy crap, I just calculated my hourly wage, and I found that my hourly wage is lower than that of a waiter at a fried chicken restaurant!"

"Brother, don't forget it. Didn't you hear what Xu Gou said? You will become a monster if you do this."

"I would rather become a monster than have no money. I also want to experience the happiness of a rich person. Come corrupt and change me!"

Just as netizens were shouting, the slim massage technician arrived.
