Although Xu Hongdou did not agree to Zhao Shucheng directly, she did not struggle fiercely. Instead, she said to Zhao Shucheng after a while: "It's getting late, it's time to go back for dinner."
Zhao Shucheng knew that Xu Hongdou did not refuse, so he just agreed, so he was naturally very happy.
"I'll make it for you if you want to eat at noon."
"I want to eat shredded pork with ginger sauce and braised noodles."
"The dish you chose..."
"What, can't it be?"
"Of course it's okay. I'll make you whatever you want. Even if it's the dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, I'll find a way to get it for you."
While the two of them were talking, they came to the stable. They first put Xu Hongdou down, and then Zhao Shucheng jumped down and tied up the little cutie, and then they took Xu Hongdou to the Youfeng Xiaoyuan.
On the way, the two of them passed by the market and bought some vegetables before returning to the yard.
When Maqiushan saw Zhao Shucheng and the others coming back, he smiled and said, "You are back, I thought you were going to eat outside."
"Where can I eat outside every day? I'd better come back and make some by myself."
Maqiushan jokingly glanced at Zhao Shucheng and Xu Hongdou, and said, "Yes, I don't know who it was a few days ago, so I didn't cook the food and went out to eat."
"Master Ma, if you say that, don't eat it later."
"Okay, I won't say it, I won't say it."
He saw that Zhao Shucheng and Xu Hongdou's condition today was different from that of the previous few days, so there must be something going on.
After dinner, the three of them continued to start their lying flat life, but Aunt Agui, who was about to clean up, saw it.
"Hey, Mr. Ma, you have successfully cultivated immortality. Now you don't meditate, and you have changed to "Food Feng and Dew?"
Maqiushan glanced at Aunt Agui and said, "Aunt Agui, can you tea?"
"Okay, go make tea."
Maqiushan knew that if she wanted to block Aunt Agui's mouth, she had to find something for her, otherwise the nagging would be endless. So she got up and went to the tea room to prepare for tea.
Aunt Agui saw Maqiushan going to make tea and said, "Xiao Zhao, Hongdou, take a break. Master Ma wants to make tea and drink tea!"
"good!"
After starting to drink tea, Aunt Agui said, "Hongdou, I heard from the villagers that you are helping Ayao see the shop, are you going to stay here?"
"No, I'm a volunteer and I don't take money, I'm just helping."
"Oh, that's it. Help, but it's good. People always have to find something to do. Laziness is a disease." Aunt Agui said and looked at Maqiushan. She always felt that since Maqiushan came here, she either closed her eyes and rested in the yard every day, meditated and did nothing, which made her unable to understand.
Maqiushan naturally knew that he was talking about himself. After all, although Zhao Shucheng has been here for the past few days, he is still a little different from himself.
"Come on, drink tea, drink tea!"
After taking a bite, Xu Hongdou said, "Well, it tastes good, it smells so good!"
Zhao Shucheng also tasted it and said, "It's really good, and it's not a simple tea aroma, it should be processed separately."
Aunt Agui said: "It's really good, but it's just a tea flavor."
Xu Hongdou almost laughed when she heard this, looked at Maqiushan, feeling that all her efforts were in vain.
It was not easy for Maqiushan to tell Aunt Agui that this tea was rare, so he could only agree with it: "Aunt Agui said very well. Tea is just a tea flavor."
Aunt Agui said, "Aunt Agui graduated from elementary school and can't speak. Don't take it to your heart."
"Your words are a big deal."
"It's too hard to listen to him."
"I'm just a hard time talking. It's normal if you don't like me."
Aunt Agui said to Hongdu: "Hongdou, are you funny saying that he is a person? People eat grains, burp, fart and grind their teeth. They have to do a day of work and never get idle in their entire lives. They should be filial to the elderly and raise babies below. Thank you very much. Unless you die and buried in the soil, that is the real rest."
He then said to Maqiushan: "Our village is like a person of your age, and the baby is going to junior high school. Who would sit there all day long? Can sitting there support the family?"
Xu Hongdou said: "That's right, but as long as a person does not cause trouble for others and does not do things that hurt others, he still has the right to choose freely to choose life."
"Liberty is a matter of freedom unless you are an orphan, and you can choose to do whatever you want. If you have family, you have to think about your family. If you are idle, they cannot be idle. If you sit there, their legs should be more diligent."
Seeing Maqiushan nodding, Aunt Agui continued, "You often say whatever people outside say, as long as you don't break the law, freedom is best. Do whatever you want, but I want to ask you, you are hungry outside, who will care about you? Your parents are old and sick, you have three disasters and six difficulties, but you all need money. Oh, you just don't have money. What to do? It's too late to beg for food now."
Maqiushan said, "Aunt Agui, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years."
Aunt Agui said, "I just say it casually, you can just listen."
"That won't work. Since you've said this, I can't chew peonies, pretending that I didn't hear anything, right?"
Aunt Agui asked strangely: "Why do cows chew peonies?"
"...Why, why doesn't it matter? What I said is that I sit here to fight against my diligence and calmly."
Aunt Agui became even more confused and looked at Xu Hongdou and asked, "Do you understand?"
"I understand all the words, but when I put them together, I still don't understand them very much."
"In short, everything in the world is the 28th law. Even if you work hard on many things, you will be drunk when you bow and drink, and in the end, you will be in vain. Since it is all in vain, why bother to do it? It is better to use stillness to control everything and respond to changes with constant change. This is great wisdom."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Aunt Agui smiled and said, "I understand, but you found the wrong person. I can't order you, haha. In this life, people cry naked and cry with their hands empty. It's very hard. Can't you not live just because you're going to die anyway? Apart from breathing fresh air, not money, eating, drinking, defecating, sleeping, what's the money? Are you still sitting? Since you can't sit still, go out to work, why do you have to be a boss?"
"After that, even if you become a wife, a billionaire, you have made a lot of money. That money is piled up in the yard and you can't spend it all, but I'm going to ask you again, where are you leaving one day? Can you take these things away? It's easy to get rid of people when they die, paper stuff, cars, houses, golden boys and jade girls, Tiandi Bank, hundreds or hundreds of billions of dollars, your juniors can't spend much money even if they are ready, so they can burn them all for you. Yes?"
Maqiushan was very inspired when she heard this. After all, she said something that many people cannot understand in their lives. That is, it is absolutely impossible to have no money, but money is not brought by life and death, just enough to spend it. People cannot live for money, but should make their lives meaningful and do what they can.
Zhao Shucheng said: "Aunt Ah Gui, you are still living a life-thinking and a wise person. People should keep themselves busy and not become slaves to money, but do meaningful things instead."
"Yes, I don't want to say these things. I just want to say it casually, just listen to it casually. If you don't talk to you here, my work hasn't been done yet."
Damai also heard Aunt Ah Gui's words on the side and felt inspired. Recently, she was trying to change the current situation of her writing, but there seemed to be no inspiration in her mind, and the readers' comments and income made her unable to motivate.
She took the computer to the tea room and said, "Master Ma, Brother Zhao, Hongdou!"
Machushan saw Damai coming and said, "Why, there is no inspiration for writing?"
"ah!"
"Why is there no inspiration? Where does the pressure come from?"
"Readers' comments, income, and still cannot be written."
"Why can't I write it out?"
‘Income and reader comments, a vicious cycle.’
Zhao Shucheng said: "In fact, many times, you cannot modify your writing direction based on reader comments. After all, people who like your novels read from the beginning, and the original direction is only a few people don't like it. But when you modify it according to the comments of a few people, you have deviated from your original writing direction, which further limits your number of readers, thus forming a new vicious cycle. We can absorb useful things from the outside world, but we must also learn to analyze whether these things are echoing your novels, or even whether they can be really used in your novels."
"Just like many novels, originally sweet urban dramas, but you have to join a sadistic plot, this will undoubtedly make people who originally read your novel feel very unhappy and have no desire to continue watching. Or it is originally an urban novel, but you suddenly become a cultivating novel, and then become a science fiction novel, and even more so, it will become a horror novel, which will make your readers at a loss and eventually have to choose to abandon the pit."
Maqiushan nodded and said, "Yes, Damai, listen to me. If a person lowers his head and follows the path arranged by others, he will not be able to walk a new path. You have to walk out of your own path, and writing is also about creating according to your own ideas."
"But, this road may be full of thorns and bumps, and there will be jackals, tigers and leopards eyeing you. But it doesn't matter, it won't always be like this. You will also have times when you are lucky, you will also see flowers on the ground, cattle and sheep in a group, and you can also ride your horse and sing and sing."
"Then Mr. Ma, will there be a way to go if you insist on walking?"
"Every grass and every tree are like this."
"Will there be a flower road?"
"Of course there will be." Xu Hongdou said affirmatively.
Machushan said, "Do you want to hear my story?"
"Of course I have to listen, Mr. Ma, we really haven't heard you talk about your past."
Maqiushan looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Actually, my story is very simple. Xiao Zhao may have learned it. But I still want to talk about it here and discuss life with you."
"To be honest with you, there may not be a flower path, but you will definitely not have one if you don't leave. Just like a friend of mine, I was very crazy before, there is nothing in this world that he can't do."
Xu Hongdou and Zhao Shucheng looked at each other, and it was obvious that this so-called friend was Maqiushan himself.
"When the Internet was the most prosperous, I did everything. This kid was lucky and liked to show off. He could always get on the wind. Before the wind stopped, he escaped. Later, he became bigger and bigger, and he became more and more crazy. In the most luxurious science and technology park in Beijing, I rented several floors of office buildings, more than 10,000 square meters, hired hundreds of people, and said I wanted to do it. I just wanted to do the biggest one, but it ended up losing. I lost all the money I made in the past few years, and I bought villas, luxury cars, and all I could sell. Fortunately, this kid had a conscience, and all the wages owed to the employees were paid, and all the final payments owed to Party B were paid."
Maqiushan picked up the teacup and drank it, saying, "As a matter of this, it has been a waste of time in the past few years, and it is not profitable or lost money."
Damai asked curiously: "Then what is he doing now?"
"Now he did nothing. Before, he looked at the world, now he looked at his heart. Stay away from the hustle and bustle, and use his only remaining strength to suppress his heart that started a business again."
Damai said: ‘He still wants to start a business?’
"But what you said, if it were someone else, you would have stopped doing it long ago. This kid still had that fire in his heart and wanted to continue burning, but was unwilling to go to work for others, so he could only sit like this every day."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Actually, I think such a person is pretty good. As long as the fire in my heart is not extinguished, there will always be a day to make a comeback."
As he said that, he looked at Damai and Maqiushan and said, "Actually, you are very similar to that entrepreneur. They are both not interested in other things except for what you like. Like is the reason and the most primitive motivation. If you want to do something well, the most basic thing is to like it."
"If you don't like your career or don't love it enough, sooner or later, you will feel bored and eventually choose to give up. It will be difficult for you to do anything well. When you encounter a job and career you like, we will release our enthusiasm, release our energy and wisdom without any worries, and even enjoy it."
It’s the same job. For a person who likes this job, he enjoys his work every day and never feels tired. But for a person who doesn’t like this job, he always feels that this job makes him tired and exhausted, but he can’t satisfy him.
It's like love. Being with someone you don't like, and being with her won't make you happy. And if you really like someone, you will be full of her heart and eyes, and everything you will revolve around the other person, and try your best to make her happy. No matter what her attitude towards you, you will enjoy this response.
Zhao Shucheng hasn't experienced this feeling for a long time. Maybe it's because he has traveled through the world more and more, maybe it's because he seems to be thirty, but in fact he's hundreds of years old, or because there are too many people and things in his mind, he can't get back the simplest likes and loves, so he can't try his best to please someone, and even circle around the other person every day.
But he knew that only those who love in his heart could ride the wind and waves and move forward bravely. Because such people have strong power in their hearts to support them to persevere and struggle.
Although he cannot be such a person now, it does not prevent him from appreciating such people and being willing to give these people the best of his ability. He also hopes that by helping these people, he can absorb a little while these people share their hopes and courage, so that he can regain his original state.
Zhao Shucheng thought of this and looked at Damai and said, "Damai, in fact, you feel that you are just a little transparent now. You need to face pitiful reading volume, a large number of stolen articles, and even readers' bad comments, so that you can't see the hope of the future. But in fact, all you are facing now is just a stumbling block on your road to success. All you need to do is face bravely and firmly your direction of progress. It is indeed not easy to write novels, especially online novels. You may often need to face bad comments from readers, but you cannot lose your confidence because of this."
"Actually, on the other hand, this is also a good thing. At least you know that someone is following your novel, or even following your latest plots and your latest updates. Subscription volume requires you to have better plots and writing styles, which is the direction you need to work hard on. As for the future, the future is actually under your own feet. If you can find your own direction and move on unswervingly, there will be a bright future sooner or later."
"Sometimes people cannot put too much pressure on themselves, but they need to have enough confidence. I may not know much about writing novels, but I think you can't keep yourself so tight. Instead, you should relax, read more books, and go out for more walks, which may help you write. In addition, when writing, you still need to have an outline and a detailed outline. This will make you not have a good idea to write, and you can also create a certain amount of creation according to the detailed outline, without forcing yourself to rack your brains."
As he said that, Zhao Shucheng looked at Ma Ye and said, "Ma Ye, it's nothing wrong with your friend's desire to start a business. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, he has always only wanted to start a business and be a boss, but instead of being a working person steadily is a manifestation of dissatisfaction or overestimation of his ability. But in my opinion, he knows what he is more suitable for."
"Some people are suitable for working, while others are not suitable for being a working person. As the saying goes, those who work hard govern others, while those who work hard are the same. Some people are good at working hard, while others are good at working hard, but the division of labor is different. It is a waste in itself to let a person who is good at managing a company or starting a business become an ordinary working person."
"Of course, it's not that he can really start a business without hesitation. Instead, he has to learn from the previous lessons of failure in entrepreneurship, do a good job of planning and market research, and then start a business to make himself more smooth."
Maqiushan understood that Zhao Shucheng had actually guessed that his friend was him. He was silent for a while and said, "Yes, we should learn from him."
Although Maqiushan lie flat in the yard during the day, at night, he is fiddling with bottles and jars in his room to prepare for his own business again.
However, he is still trying to suppress his desire to start a business, because he knows very well that there are not many opportunities for him to struggle. If he fails this time, he will have no way out.
"Master Ma, if your friend still wants to start a business and has a detailed planning plan, you can tell me that if I am interested, I may be an angel investor. Of course, the ugly thing is ahead. If the other party's planning plan makes me dissatisfied and even feels that it has no investment value, I will give up without hesitation."
Maqiushan smiled and said, "Of course, if it really doesn't work, wouldn't it be a scam for you to invest?"
But Damai looked at Maqiushan and Zhao Shucheng with ignorance, scratched his head, and then continued to think about his writing.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the contrary, Xu Hongdou understood something. When he continued to go back to lie down with Zhao Shucheng, he asked: "Are you planning to invest in Ma Ye?"
"It's not necessarily true. If Ma Ye's new project is profitable, why don't I get involved? Is it bad for others to make money by lying down here?"
"But you aren't afraid of risks?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Ma Ye Ma Qiushan, you can search online. After reading his legendary experience, you will talk about risks."
After hearing this, Xu Hongdou hesitated for a moment, took out his mobile phone and searched for Maqiu Mountain. Sure enough, a lot of news about Maqiu Mountain appeared above.
I have to say that the experience of Maqiushan is really wonderful. It has been rooted in it since the rise of the Internet. After more than ten years of experience, it has been at the forefront of the times. However, in the end, the sharing economy gave him a heavy blow and finally he was unable to recover.
The sharing economy boasted very well at the beginning, and provided more convenient services for consumers to reduce costs and provide consumers with more convenient services. The products shared bicycles and shared power banks launched have indeed brought convenience to many people. However, companies under the sharing economy did not find a reasonable source of profit. They all used capital to grab land at the beginning, and then relied on the market size to harvest leeks. Maqiushan fell to the point of enclosing land because he used the money he had spent over the years to invest in it, and other companies were supported by capital. In the end, Maqiushan was unable to go public for financing, so naturally he would lose money.
In fact, this also awakens many people, that is, there is no problem with using capital to expand, but the company is ultimately a commercial organization and needs to make profits. Companies with only input and no output will eventually fall to the bottom even if they are glamorous for a while.
