Generation Z Artists

Chapter 45 I am a dictator

Relearning high school knowledge was easier than expected.

After all, I have learned it once, and with my advantages in Chinese and English, self-study becomes easy.

Of course, being able to study on your own is one thing, and how well you can do in the exam is another. High school math problems are obviously starting to be overwhelming...

There were a few moments when he was scratching his head and feeling short of breath while doing extended math questions, Brother Fang... no, Brother Fang really couldn't help but think: Damn it, why don't we just submit it?
Why fight with them?

This crappy math makes me sick just looking at it!
Zici education reform! Zici quality education! Delete all high school math and physics for me!

Of course, the fit was only temporary, and he had to go on with his daily routine. He had encountered far greater difficulties than this before. When had he ever been a coward?

He called the crotch grabber over and kicked him hard, and Brother Fang started fighting again.

As a result, only five questions were solved in total, and then Wang Tong, a reporter from Xinmin Daily, arrived.

——Don’t ask me the time!

When Wang Tong arrived at the small county town, the influence of the Three Articles and the Black Tide had just spread to its maximum.

The people who cursed Fang Xinghe could line up from Tiananmen Square to the Oriental Pearl Tower. Those who supported him were not many but they were not afraid at all. The two sides fought so hard that people's brains became dog's brains. Just pouring some chili oil on it would make a good bowl of soup.

So it was not just Wang Tong who couldn't wait to come. A large number of reporters were flocking to the small town. Yesterday alone, Liu Dashan received three waves of reporters from different media.

Fang Xinghe ignored everyone and remained silent.

There shouldn’t be too many exclusive interviews, and they should not be abused. Interview qualifications are also a valuable resource.

Fang Xinghe knew exactly who to give it to and who not to give it to.

Therefore, Wang Tong did not complain about why the reporter from Beijing Youth Daily got the first exclusive interview. Instead, he chatted with a smile, handed over Chen Danya's gift, and also brought a Hero brand pen for Fang Xinghe.

"Your post-match interview increased the sales of our Xinmin Daily by nearly 20 copies, and I was also commended for it. It's all thanks to you... Thank you so much!"

"I haven't had time to look yet."

Fang Xinghe chuckled and ended the topic, not giving the other party a chance to continue to build a relationship.

In fact, he had read it and found that Wang Tong had a good writing style and made the subject very fascinating.

Oh, by the way, the theme focuses on the depth of Fang Xinghe's thoughts, which can be regarded as a display with strong positive significance. In addition, Xinmin Daily did not forget to bring out the good big brother for comparison, creating a drama of two talented literary teenagers loving and hating each other.

The method of provoking conflicts to attract traffic has never been exclusive to later generations.

Overall, the previous interview was of great help to Fang Xinghe, allowing the arrogant people of Shanghai to take him more seriously.

Even though it's only a few points, it's not easy to get, but it's pretty good.

The interview began in a peaceful atmosphere.

As expected, Wang Tong asked, "Why did you write the article "Small Town Test-taker"?"

Fang Xinghe's answer was sharp and straightforward: "I don't like the current trend. Some people are stupid and bad. How can studying be useless?"

It's time to really fire at this fallacy.

It is no longer so elegant, no longer so figurative, no longer so beautiful, but a direct and direct A.

Wang Tong realized that he had something to offer, and his spirits suddenly lifted. He hurriedly asked, "But many people accuse you of seeking fame and reputation, because you can live well without studying.

They even think that you haven’t studied hard for a few days, and it’s your talent that has brought you to where you are now, and you can succeed no matter what you do. This just proves that whether or not you study has no decisive significance for special talents. "

What nonsense.

Fang Xinghe didn't want to engage in meaningless verbal attacks, so he handed over the article "The Added Value of Reading - From a Bowl of Handmade Noodles on the Street to Motorola".

"I have prepared new essays for your company. The added value of my reading is indeed not that high, but I believe that ordinary people are different."

Wang Tong was very surprised. He raised his hand to stop the interview and said, "Wait a moment. Let me finish reading and then we can continue."

The new essays as a whole have a very simple atmosphere, discussing economic principles that are well known to later generations but are very fresh at this time.

Fang Xinghe wrote a short story in the second half of the article:

"Bao Fu doesn't want to continue studying because his family is rich and can support him for the rest of his life.

Xiao Yanbian didn't want to continue studying. His family had an ancestral skill in making cold noodles, so he discussed with Baofu: Let's work together to open a cold noodle restaurant. Have you tried my cold noodles and spicy cabbage? Are they delicious?
Bao Fu nodded and said, "I can do three big bowls. This business will definitely work!"

The two of them began to fantasize about the future, as if a better life was just around the corner.

I couldn't help but do the math for them.

I told Xiao Yanbian: If you regard selling cold noodles as an opportunity to turn your life around, then you have two completely different development paths.

2000. I dropped out of school after junior high school and borrowed yuan to open a small shop opposite the school.

Judging by the sales of the wonton shop at the school gate, in the best case scenario, you can sell 100 bowls a day and make a net profit of 20 yuan after deducting all costs, 600 yuan a month, and 7000 yuan a year.

Then some people won’t give money, deducting 500;

You have to pay some money, and then deduct 500;

If the landlord wants to raise the rent, you have to put up with it and deduct another 500;

Food, clothing, housing and transportation cost 1500 yuan a year, which means you can save 4000 yuan every year.

After enduring humiliation for ten years, he saved up 4 yuan and was finally able to buy a decent restaurant, hire a few chefs and waiters, and expand his business.

However, after becoming a boss, you still have to make cold noodles by yourself.

That's your family's secret recipe. You have to personally handle the sauces, soups, and ingredients to feel at ease.

Then gradually, you find that your big restaurant is just a lonely place. In essence, you are still a small handicraft vendor, still making hard-earned money by relying on secret recipes passed down from your ancestors. Nothing has changed.

If the chef's skills are not good, he may even hold you back.

You begin to ask yourself: How long do I have to work until I can free myself from this exhausting and numb life?

Second, you should study hard from now on, get admitted to a key university, and major in food.

In school, you studied hard and devoted yourself to studying the ancestral recipe.

Before graduation, you finally cracked all the secrets and formed the ability of industrialized production while maintaining the taste. It happened that your friend had just become rich and graduated with a degree in business administration. You two hit it off, took some money from his family, and set up a small food factory.

Just produce instant cold noodles.

That thing is the same as instant noodles, with a fixed amount of cold noodles, a seasoning packet, and a vacuum dried and fresh side dish packet.

Bao Fu specially applied for a brand and trademark, called "Xiao Yanbian Ancestor-inherited Super Fresh Cold Noodles", and then brought it to an exhibition in Guangdong.

You were born speaking Korean, and you specifically target Korean customers to sell your products and invite them to try your food.

Your ancestral secret recipe brought tears to their eyes and they exclaimed it tasted like their grandma's.

The customer decides to purchase on the spot, and you start earning foreign exchange.

As you earn more money, you will naturally expand production. You only need to keep the last step of the sauce production process strictly confidential. The rest of the time, you can do whatever you want. At the same age of 40, the you who has been making cold noodles for more than years is exhausted, while the you who opened a food factory is traveling around the world.

As for getting rich quickly, when you were 14 years old, he lent you 2000 yuan to open a small shop. Ten years later, he laughed and waved his hand, saying: It's just a return of money. Isn't the relationship between our brothers worth 2000 yuan?
But Bao Fu, who had received education, opened a factory with you and used his professional management skills to develop "Xiao Yanbian" into a big brand.

He initially invested 20 yuan, and many years later it turned into 20 billion yuan, making him richer than his father.

Two completely different endings, what is the difference?

The difference is that the books you read and the knowledge you learn add extra value to your ancestral craftsmanship and also add extra value to the money you make.

This value is not the physics and chemistry from junior high and high school that will never be useful in the future, but our thinking after it is filled with knowledge and expanded by logic.

Reading does not have to be used, reading itself can give us energy.

You always ask me, brother, you are so handsome and awesome, why do you still have to study so hard?

Because the more added value, the better. Everyone has a basic base, and the more useful things you add to it, the stronger you will become and the more power you will have.

So how ridiculous are the remarks that denigrate reading?
There is no other way of empowerment in this world that costs less and brings greater benefits than reading.

Those who complain that studying is useless are either stupid or bad.

Don't believe them. You should criticize them as scum. They hope that the lower-class coolies will always sink under their feet so that they can hold their 13000 Motorola mobile phones, point at you who are selling cold noodles on the roadside, and laugh at you at will.

1 yuan for a bowl of noodles? Ugh, even dogs won’t eat it!

And their beautiful wives would teach their children in a gentle tone——

Look, if you don't study hard, you will end up like that uncle, selling things on the roadside. Tell mom, do you want to sell things on the roadside?
You raised your head and tried to explain: I am not an uncle, I am only 25 years old...

But in the end you said nothing, just lowered your head again numbly.

Making a hundred bowls of cold noodles every day is tiring enough, why bother arguing with so many people? That family looks very rich, so it’s better not to cause trouble...

Xiao Yanbian, I am sure that you will not have the courage to throw your fist at any time like you do today.

you do not believe?

Go back and observe your father carefully, and then guess why he likes to talk about the past every time he drinks.

Because only at that time was there light in his eyes.

My friends, do not do simple, mechanical, repetitive labor at the age when you should be studying. It may seem that you earn some money and have some freedom, but you lose the greatest possibility in life, the opportunity to add value to yourself, and the energy and instinct for deep thinking.

When one day you wake up completely from a numb and tiring dream and shed tears without warning, it is not because your life is good or bad, but because you suddenly begin to feel sorry for yourself for having suffered so much unnecessary hardship over the years.

Now, let us re-examine this question: What can reading give us?
The answer is simple: it is the light in your heart."

Wang Tong read the entire text in one breath and was speechless for a long time, feeling very upset.

Although he went to college and has a good job now, he didn't give his all when he should have been working the hardest, and he made many wrong choices.

At this moment, reading an article like this, I couldn't help but be deeply broken.

Wang Tong subconsciously touched his face, which was no longer smooth, and an idea came to his mind and lingered: If I could go back to the starting point, would I rebel again or study hard?

The answer jumped out violently, without a second's hesitation, and he realized that Fang Xinghe's article would be another sensational success...

Wang Tong couldn't calm down for a long time.

The turmoil in his mentality caused him to ask a very unprofessional question.

"Fang Xinghe, this article is so correct. It's not as rebellious as your previous one. Can you tell me why?"

Of course it’s because I have different strategic goals for each article I write, what else?
Fang Xinghe found it funny, so he really laughed.

As a navy leader, he is quite casual in life, but very purposeful and planned in work.

This article is not intended to attract fans.

Fans want articles that are cool, trendy, and contain strong emotions, but it is best not to contain clichéd truths.

Young kids don't like to watch it.

But "added value" is a stance, an attitude, a clarion call, and a flag.

It is written for adults.

——You see, I’m not just someone who plays it cool. At critical moments, I stand firm and have a clear mind. I’m a good young man with a sense of justice.

When the times need me, I will naturally rush to the front.

Position and action are perfectly aligned at this moment.

Therefore, even though Fang Xinghe obviously has many ways to curse people and has more intense writing styles, in the end he just speaks plainly about the truth, unlike "Knowing but Not Following" and "I Have Fights with Fate" which are fierce and sharp.

Due to different purposes, the text must of course be fine-tuned. This is not a quality that a writer needs to possess, but rather a unique ingenuity of the leader of a water army.

"I don't know what you think of rebellion."

Fang Xinghe calmly began his statement, placing his righteousness before Wang Tong.

“In my opinion, rebellion is a kind of resistance to injustice, fallacy and hegemony.

Although we young people often cannot correctly distinguish right from wrong, which leads to some rebellious behaviors that seem childish and ridiculous, when it comes to the issue of whether to study or not, we do not need to work hard to distinguish right from wrong, as right and wrong are obvious.

How can I not be rebellious if I oppose such an obvious fallacy? "

Wang Tong was unable to apply for interview equipment, so he quickly took notes with a pen. As he was writing, he suddenly discovered a blind spot.

He asked hurriedly: "But in the interview with Beijing Youth Daily, you said: You love each other, right? I noticed that you have a bystander mentality towards the fate of others, but now you have written such an article to encourage learning. Don't you think you are very contradictory?"

"No contradiction."

Fang Xinghe shook his head and distinguished them patiently.

“When faced with something I don’t like, whether or not to criticize is one thing, which depends on my mood; the result is another thing, which depends on the reader’s mood.

I will write articles because I am unhappy, but I will not force readers to listen to them. This is the original intention of 'Do You Love Me?'

Even for my friends, I will only remind them instead of forcing them to do a certain thing.

I don't have the qualifications, let alone the obligation.

Give up the desire to help others and respect the fate of others. This is my unity of knowledge and action. "

Wang Tong's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly and hastily: "In fact, this kind of thinking does not conform to our traditional values. Our ancient Chinese philosophy emphasizes saving the world and caring about the world, but you are very different.

Therefore, some experts and professors have criticized you for being selfish and dictatorial. How do you view these criticisms? "

Fang Xinghe smiled, then raised his chin slightly and glanced at Wang Tong proudly.

"I am a dictator."

　Watch it in time. Being locked in a small dark room every day really affects your mood.
