If you follow
have a friend who judges people by their appearance
then you must let him
See this story
A man in rags
Walked into a fancy steakhouse
Sitting by the window
The owner glanced at him
Immediately showed
Impatient look of disdain
The supervisor got the message
Turned around and told the man
This table has already been reserved
You'd better sit inside.
The man was led to a
cramped corner
He knew in his heart
The director was afraid that his image
Affects the restaurant's business
But the man didn't mind
Have a confident plan
Put a mysterious envelope in front of you
Then calmly sits down to order
He tells the waiter
He'll have a nice steak for himself
And a ham and egg omelette
And a beer.
The waiter looks at the man
That poor man's appearance
And said in a strange way
What you ordered
Costs a lot of money
And the man smiled faintly
You don't have to worry about this for me
You just serve me the food
The man finished his meal in a breeze
He didn't even spare any scraps
He looked back at the clock on the wall
As if he was waiting for something
After seeing the time
He called the waiter again and said
"The ones I just served
Give me another one
After the waiter heard that
Turned his head to the boss's wife
reported to the boss's wife
How can a high class person have two steaks in one meal
Eating two steaks in one meal
This is probably a homeless person who came to eat
This is probably a homeless person who came to eat a king's meal
The boss's wife, who has seen the world, is still calm
Serve him.
I'd like to see
Who dares to eat in front of my eyes
Eat a king's meal
Soon
The man's second steak was also finished
When it was time for the check
The man looked at the time again
Said can wait a little bit before the check
This time the supervisor directly
crossed his arms and stood at the table
He wanted to put the bill
to the man's eyes and said
You better hurry if you have money
Give me the bill
If you don't have money
Don't blame me for not being polite
I have no choice
The man reluctantly opened the envelope
His expression froze instantly
What was inside the envelope
was actually a
A cheque for a million British pounds
According to the circulation calculation at that time
A million English rust is equivalent to
A billion dollars nowadays
Everyone in the room was astonished
The level of surprise was like
seeing their long-lost father
The director also immediately showed
The service attitude of serving father
He said respectfully
We can't find this check for you
Or you can take it on credit
You can pay it back whenever you want
Or maybe this meal is on us
For just now
We apologize to you for not recognizing your service attitude
I sincerely apologize to you
God is
The man is just like that with
A cheque for the price of heaven
without spending a penny
He had a great meal
Who the hell is he?
He was dressed in rags
Ugly face
How could he be a millionaire?
Time went back a few hours
The man was still a penniless man
A starving homeless man
Staring at a rotten pear
A rotten pear on the ground
Pick it up
To pick it up or not to pick it up
The man bent down several times to pick it up
But the pedestrians who kept passing by
made him unable to do it
Finally, when no one was around
But there are two voices overhead
The man looked up and saw
Two old gentlemen in suits
old gentlemen in suits were calling him
Saying you
And the one looking to his right and left
It's you!
Come upstairs
We need to talk to you.
It's a great thing.
(Good morning, sir)
(Would you please come in?)
Two super rich people made a bet
A billion dollar bet.
An ordinary man
A check that can't be cashed
Can it change
A poor boy's fate
The skinny old man thinks
Money is not everything
Take this check for example
Ordinary people can't cash it at all
Holding it
It's the same as holding a small piece of paper
But the fat old man doesn't think so
Don't underestimate
People's blind worship of money
This check is a passport
Even if you're a poor man
As long as he holds it in his hand
He doesn't have to cash it
He can get
Anything he wants
Two men with their own opinions
But to validate their ideas
Must find someone
No money, no background
Someone honest and smart
To conduct the test
And this man in front of me
was the perfect candidate
He's an American.
Accidentally wandered into London
He hadn't eaten in days.
Two wealthy men handed the man an envelope
They said it contained money.
But he could not open it until after two o'clock
When the man had eaten and torn open the envelope
Even he himself was shocked
The envelope contained more than money.
It's an expensive check.
The kind that makes a stranger call his father
The man found that in addition to the check
There was also a letter inside
On it was written two rich men
A task for the man.
Saying that this check is a loan to you
If in a month's time
You can return the check
And return it intact
We can offer you
A job with more money and less work
The man was still reveling
The joy of the pie in the sky
After reading it, he thought
This is a travesty
With a check that can't be spent
What's the use?
I am penniless
Can I survive a month
I don't know yet
But then I thought about it
I didn't spend a penny just now
Ate a big meal?
The man held the idea of trying again
To a high-end
custom-made clothing store
After trying on a set of clothes
He sheepishly said to the tailor
Can I not pay for it first?
It's not that I don't want to pay
I'm afraid you can't find...
I'll take it on credit first
I'll pay you in a month.
When the tailor heard that
The tailor was so excited
How do you know we can't find it?
To tell you the truth
Even if the ticket is big
We can find it
The man had no choice
He had to pull out the cheque
A million pound cheque
And then...
The little tailor reverently
Held the cheque in his hands
Leaving hot tears of excitement
It was as if he had seen God with his own eyes
The owner of the clothing store came to hear the news
One look at the check
Almost smoked
Then the man was given
Full VVIP service
One set is not enough
We must take the specifications of the aristocracy
From 48 sets
It does not matter if you do not pay first
You can visit us
We are lucky to have you here.
Men can understand
The world treats rich people
The world is really gentle to the rich
Everyone respects him
Trust him
Lend him money with confidence
He doesn't even
Doesn't really need to be rich
As long as he looks
is a rich man on the line
The man just carries a
A million pound check
And strutting around
Staying in a star hotel
Talking and laughing with American diplomats
Going to high class parties
And fell in love with a smart and beautiful
He fell in love with an intelligent and beautiful English lady
Instead of starving to death
Instead of starving, he made a fortune
He became one of the most successful men in London
and even in the whole of England
He became a household name in London, even in England.
(The man made the headlines in every newspaper)
A few days ago
This homeless man was on the street
Picking up other people's leftover rotten pears
A few days later
Because of a
Unredeemable million dollar check
transformed himself
into a business tycoon
A business tycoon from a famous family
He is right in everything he does
Everything he said made sense
People come from all walks of life
Looking for a man to get close to
For example, this is the man who walked in front of me
This big Mediterranean guy
Came up to the man
Shoot rainbow farts
After a little bit of getting close
He finally said
His true purpose
He said he had opened a gold mine in the Cape of Good Hope
And now his capital chain is broken
He was in crisis
But the man had no money in his pocket
Of course it is impossible to invest in him
Who knows the Mediterranean Sea seriously said
I don't want your money
I'm just borrowing
I'm just borrowing your name
The man was confused.
How can a name bring a gold mine
Back from the dead?
The Mediterranean smiled slightly
He came to the stock exchange
Under the man's name
He bought 20,000 shares of the mine's stock
And then put out the news
Great good news, great good news
The world's top tycoons
Entering the gold mining industry
The trading center suddenly exploded
I thought, "I'll follow the rich man and buy stocks.
No time to hesitate
(Buy it)
In just one afternoon
Mediterranean's stock rose like crazy
Soon out of financial crisis
And the man who was dating
The man who was dating the noble lady
Just out of thin air
16,000 pounds of wealth
You say it is not angry
So not only money can generate money
Even if it's just a
False symbol of wealth
With a little manipulation
is a road to unbeatable wealth
Even men
The restaurant where he ate before
Clothing stores where he bought clothes
All use him as a sign
So sales have increased dramatically
But the man did not expect
That he would bring benefits to everyone
Who brought benefits to everyone
Had secretly attracted an enemy
The enemy was an old noble gentleman
After the man arrived
He clearly felt
He had been neglected
Even in the hotel
The room that originally belonged to him
was vacated by the manager
and given to a man
The old gentleman was not convinced!
He is an English nobleman
Is he no better than an
American landlord?
So he bribed the maid
He hid the man's check
At the same time, he started spreading rumors around
that the man was not a rich man at all
That he no longer had
A cheque for a million pounds
Then
The rumor spread by word of mouth
While the truth is still putting on his shoes
The lie has gone around the world
When a reporter comes to interview a man
And found that he really couldn't get
The million dollar check
The plot began to turn around...
All the managers came to the door one after another
Although the surface is still very polite
But the attitude is very tough
Insisted that the man settle the bill today
The owner of the clothing store was more direct
He took all his clothes
All packed away
Forced the man had no choice
He remembered that he
still had some shares in a gold mine
So he found the Mediterranean
He wanted to cash out to save his life
However, the Mediterranean said
Because he couldn't get
The million dollar check
The share price of the gold mine plummeted
In just one morning
fell below the issue price
A large wave of stockholders ran to
Downstairs of the Men's Hotel
yelling for an explanation
The huge contrast
once again confirmed the old saying
If you have money and live in the mountains, you have distant relatives
No money in the downtown no one heard
And just when the situation
was about to get out of hand
The old gentleman stepped forward
Waving in his hand
A man's check for millions
It turns out
He felt that things were getting too big
If this goes on, people might get killed
He was also very frank in admitting this
It was he who hid the check
And expressed his apologies to the man
And when the man saw how gentlemanly the old gentleman was
He was clear about his grudges and grievances
He didn't pursue it much
He took the invoice and held it in the air
and then
(You have half an hour to spare)
（"Ladies and gentlemen)
（"Hurry up and buy it)
(Buy, buy)
Love, career
All because of this little note
came back to him
One month later
The man returned the check intact
Returned to the two tycoons
The bet was won by the fat old man
It seems that if he proves
that you can eat with money
No need to spend any money at all.
Maybe that's why so many people
Like to pretend that the reason
In the end, the thin old man admits defeat
Admitted that his understanding of capital
understanding of capital is not good enough
The end of the story
The man becomes
the majority shareholder of a gold mining company
Gets a job with more money and less work
And married the Duke's niece
Can be said to be rich and status
The movie "Million Pounds
Based on Mark Twain's novel of the same name
Humor and satire
Are the key words of Mark Twain's works
This one is no exception
In addition to satirizing people
Beyond the blind worship of money
It also reflects a phenomenon
The Matthew Effect
Simply put, it means that
The rich get richer, the poor get poorer
The winner takes all
For example, the man in the movie
Have no money at the beginning
The poor man is starving to death
Picking up other people's leftovers on the street
When he gets a
One million cheques later
Suddenly became a winner in life
The double gain of love
Even though he didn't spend a penny
This kind of "trouble"
Wang Duoyu has also experienced
Too much money to spend it all
As if they can reproduce themselves
For ordinary people
Our money seems to be plagued by depression
Committing suicide every day
Somehow it disappears
This seems understandable
Why Jack Ma said so
(I've never touched money)
(I have no interest in money)
Because he wants to make money
It's too easy
That's the end of today's story
See you next time.
