Chapter 1215: Hollywood Road

The "Hollywood Road" on Hong Kong Island is very famous. There is an antique street here which has been rated as one of the "streets that must be walked in a lifetime" by foreign newspapers. This is the first street constructed since the opening of Hong Kong Island.
Many people think that the name of Hollywood Road is because of Hollywood, because on Hong Kong Island, Hollywood is called "Hollywood", but in fact, the name of Hollywood Road is because there are holly trees on both sides of the street. The English of Holly is exactly the same as the English of Hollywood. That's why it has this name. Hollywood didn't even appear in that era.
This Hollywood Road is also very interesting. The surrounding modern high-rise buildings are surrounded by such an antique street that has gathered the vicissitudes of Hong Kong Island for a century. This old street has existed here since 1844. It is the first time that Hong Kong Island was in the colonial period. A street. There are shops selling jade jewelry, stone statues, furniture, paintings and calligraphy all over the street. The division of labor is meticulous and professional. There are three antique streets on Hong Kong Island, and they are the most famous here.
Of course, the antique street here is the same as the antique trading markets in all urban areas. There are fakes everywhere, although there are indeed, but otherwise the grade is too low, or the price is gratifying. . . . . .
The syrup sold in the syrup store here tastes really good, such as double skin milk, milk, tortoise glutinous paste, red bean porridge. . . . . Xiao Peng was drinking and strolling, walking half a street, seeing nothing to his eyes, and his stomach was 80% full.
The most common ones on this street are all kinds of posters with a sense of time. Maybe it is thought that there are many foreign tourists here, so the most common ones here are things related to Bruce Lee. For example, posters, books, photos, videos, etc.
Otherwise, the one who looks down on Huaxia people most is Huaxia people themselves? Bruce Lee can definitely be described as a ‘Master of the Generation’. He created his own Jeet Kune Do with multiple titles, such as fighting coach, martial artist, philosopher, actor, director, screenwriter, producer, action director, etc. Of course, he is most recognized as an actor, an international Kung Fu star.
But in the mouths of many Chinese sprayers, Bruce Lee is just a showy who can pose. However, after leaving China, Bruce Lee's international status was beyond imagination: the Stars and Stripes country called Bruce Lee the Emperor of Kung Fu and made a statue of him. The Avenue of Stars has his name, which has directly become the image label of the Chinese people! Even though he has been dead for more than 30 years, more and more people worship him in the world. What Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, boxing champion Tyson are his fans. Including the seventh world karate champion and Tyson have expressed the same view: If there are rules on the sports field, they may be able to beat Bruce Lee, but if there are no rules, they are definitely not Bruce Lee's opponent.
But when it comes to Huaxia, it's a different look. For example, the actor "The Strongest Dan in the Universe" publicly stated that Bruce Lee had no real experience in fighting arena, that now a provincial Sanda champion can beat Bruce Lee, and that he was a free fighter champion in Stars and Stripes. Because of these remarks, he got the title of "the strongest pill in the universe".
Ahem, let's not talk about the level of his amateur kickboxing championship. If you tell a dead man like this, do you really think he is better than Tyson? Oh, he did beat Tyson in the movie, and he could beat ten one by one. . . . . .
Xiao Peng is not a cosmic pill. He has a lot of admiration for Bruce Lee, so he bought a lot of souvenirs about Bruce Lee here, movie posters, old photos, and even some video tapes starring Bruce Lee!
The question is: where to find the video recorder now! Oh, they are sold here, but none of them are easy to use.
Anyway, on this street, what paper, ceramics, bronzes, jade, stone, old clocks, old purses, bird cages, coins, pens, old phones. . . . . . As long as there are items on the old side, there is everything here.
Xiao Peng also bought a silver bell bracelet in a silverware store. Jingling Jingling was very interesting. Inside, I found a box of silver needles that were a little older. They were thicker than his own. The silver needles you carry are more like things-at least the box is beautifully made.
Seeing Xiao Peng carrying these messy things, Guo Sihua was puzzled: "Brother Xiao, how do you buy these things?"
Xiao Peng was also taken aback when he heard this: "Then what do you think I want to buy?"
Guo Sihua said: "There are a lot of good things in the two old shops at the east end of the street, why don't you buy them?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng thought for a while: "Oh, you said those two stores do have good things. I saw a very good sky celadon-glazed purple-spotted bowl from the Yuan Dynasty. There is also an official kiln vase from Qianlong period It’s also a good thing. There is also an enamel bowl that is very good, but the price is even higher. It is not worth buying."
Guo Sihua blinked: "Do you care if you are so rich?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "If it's something I like very much, I may not care about money, but these things are optional. It's not that I brag, my family has more good things than this. I don't have these things yet. Keep it in the eye."
Guo Sihua said: "Don't these things be in your eyes?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "You can think that I'm bragging, but I really didn't tell lies. That sky-green-glazed bowl is used for eating in the cafeteria at my house."
Guo Sihua thought for a while and said, "To be honest, Xiao brother, just today we are shopping here, and you made me admire again."
Xiao Peng didn't know why: "Why do you say that?"
Guo Sihua said: "It's like this, like you have such a large amount of wealth so soon at a young age, how can you control your desires? In my imagination, you at least want a luxury car with a bunch of beautiful women and a bunch of flowers. Spending money is something that you should do at your age. What do you say? The best way to ruin a person is to make him earn quick money."
Xiao Peng stretched out his thumb: "This sentence is good!"
Now that people want to make money, they are already crazy. What is there to say? ‘How to relieve your worries? Only getting rich'. Many people believe that getting rich is the most beautiful thing in the world, so beautiful that it can solve all sufferings and frustrations. What people are most concerned about now is the news about getting rich: XXX bought stocks, copied at low prices, and now earns It is five times higher; whoever resigns to become a new media company, the advertising is soft, and the net profit is several million a year; whoever invests in Bitcoin will change cars and houses within half a year. . . . . .
But the result of a real overnight gain is that many people lose themselves in the face of huge wealth.
It is said that the rich second generation has many problems. In fact, the real problem is the demolition of the second generation or nouveau riche.
Because they don’t have enough experience, their investments often fail, and the sudden wealth will expose them to a lot of things they couldn’t touch before. If it’s good, it’s okay, but more people are around because of sudden money. Many friends, friends, and friends have come into contact with vices such as'porn, gambling, and drugs'.
And if these people lose all their wealth and want to return to their previous lives, it will be too difficult. It only takes a few days to adapt to life from poor to rich, from rich to poor? It will be very difficult to adapt. So one by one can make millions of dollars just by making a profit.
Everyone wants to be lucky and wants to get rich overnight. In fact, the essence of poverty is not money, but lack of the ability to make money and manage money, and lack of satisfaction.
When suddenly a large amount of money is smashed on oneself, it is indeed a transfer, but the premise is to control the desire. If you have not been satisfied, then it may be a disaster. Just like Oddipides said, ‘God wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy’.
Guo Sihua said: "In fact, this is also the enlightenment I got from Senior Xu's will. Now looking at you like this, I can feel that this is still a division of people. Some people can't face the sudden wealth, some people are Fearless. You are the latter."
The senior Xu that Guo Sihua is talking about is Xu Shixun, a legendary business tycoon on Hong Kong Island. Just passed away some time ago, leaving behind 42 billion yuan in property.
But Xu Shixun’s property was not left to his only son, Xu Jinheng, the husband of movie star Li Jiaxin, but became a family trust fund, allowing everyone in the Xu family to receive a monthly living allowance and other funds. It is taken care of by the foundation. In this way, things like "starved to death" and "prodigal" will not happen to future generations.
How he didn't trust his children to make such a decision. . . . . . .
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "In fact, this is what people often say is: making money is not enough. But to be honest, sometimes I don't know what to make money for. I have my own island and my parents have their own houses. I have money to spend. What do you say I need money for? As long as I don’t want to buy a country to be a king, my money will be enough for the rest of my life. Cough cough, to be honest, let me live now, I’m even The interest in the bank can’t be spent, not to mention that I’m still making money all the time. You can think that I’m bragging, but making money is really indifferent to me. It's enough to spend."
Guo Sihua blinked after hearing this: "Brother Xiao, if you shouldn't ask, how much money have you made in the past few years?"
Xiao Peng said cheerfully: "It's just enough flowers."
Guo Sihua nodded after hearing this: "I think I finally understand why you used so much money to deal with this matter but you don't accept any adjustments. You really don't care about money."
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "It's not that I don't care about money. I don't have so much confidence if I don't have so much money. But no matter how poor, Huaxia people can't just watch our family being bullied, let alone I have money! Watching others bully My family is still silent? Sorry, I can't do it!"
Guo Sihua hadn't spoken yet, and someone next to him applauded: "Xiao Sheng speaks really magnificently."
"Huh?" The two tilted their heads together. Who is this?
