Fang Zheng's expression immediately relaxed.
"What you said is true. You didn't just spend the money on yourself. You also bought things for your classmates?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Fang Chenyu nodded repeatedly. Now he could only take one step at a time.
Fang Zhengyi nodded approvingly: "It's a good thing that you think about your classmates."
"Yes, Dad. So you can't deduct only two cents from my pocket money. How will my classmates look at me in the future?" Fang Chenyu complained.
"Son, you can't buy true friendship with money. You have to exchange sincerity for sincerity." Fang Zhengyi picked up Fang Chenyu.
Then he said earnestly: "I am very happy that you are helping others and sharing this heart, but you must not spend money carelessly."
"I didn't spend it recklessly." Fang Chenyu raised his head and pouted.
"No, you are just wasting money. All your classmates' families are rich, unlike ours. We are poor and even owe money to famine." Fang Zhengyi said while stroking Fang Chenyu's head.
Today is a good time to talk to my son about some principles. His concept of money has become distorted.
He is still so innocent and kind. If he goes out into society in the future, won't people treat him as a fool and take advantage of him?
"Son, do you know what people pursue throughout their lives?"
"Women, power, money, violence."
"!?"
How come this bastard pointed out the essence!
Fang Zhengyi's expression suddenly froze. He slowly looked at his son in his arms and said woodenly, "Where did you learn this? Who taught you these things?"
Fang Chenyu pointed upwards: "In the book above."
You little bastard, when did you get on the bookshelf?!
Fang Zhengyi's heart was bleeding, but his expression was calm and calm: "Those are all bad books designated by the court. They are full of useless things. Dad is helping the court to find out the unhealthy content in them and ban them one by one in the future. Those who wrote the books will not have a good end. You should not read them, let alone believe them."
"I understand, Dad. So what do you think you should pursue in life?"
"What we pursue is choice, the right to choose, do you understand?" Fang Zhengyi calmed down and continued, "If you have five taels of silver, you can use it to eat, buy a horse, and buy jewelry. If you use it to have a big meal, then the five taels of silver is only worth the value of a meal. But if you don't spend it, it's equivalent to having the right to choose many things."
"The more money you save, the more choices you will have. When you save a certain amount of money, one day you will own everything in the world, because you can tell yourself that everything in the world is within your reach, and the reason you don't have it is just that you are unwilling to reach out. At this time, those things are already equivalent to your pocket."
"But I feel like I haven't gained anything except money. What's the point of not spending money? Dad, I don't understand." Fang Chenyu asked puzzledly.
Fang Zheng smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not about not spending, but how to spend it correctly. If you spend five taels of silver and can get ten taels of silver or more in return, then the money is worth it because you have bought more options, which is called an asset. But for some things, you spend five taels of silver, but the money you buy back is not worth five taels of silver, and you lose more and better options. This kind of money should not be spent, and it is called a liability. Do you know how to buy it?"
"I understand that, buy assets and not liabilities, but how can I tell the difference?"
Fang Zhengyi patiently explained: "Yes, this is a complex concept, just like food can be divided into good and bad, wealth can be divided into tangible and intangible. You are still young, so you need to study hard so that you can distinguish what are assets worth investing in and what are liabilities that should be avoided in the future."
"How many people cannot tell the difference between the two, and are manipulated by others, trapped in prison, unable to escape. Even those who have more money at home are always on the verge of falling back into poverty."
"Remember, the money in your hands is capital. How to use it is a big deal, but Dad can tell you that as long as you study hard, you will become a big shot sooner or later. Do you know what to do in the future?"
Although Fang Chenyu heard it vaguely, he still understood something and immediately said excitedly.
"I understand, Dad! I want to study hard and become a capitalist in the future!"
“Good boy!!!”
Fang Zhengyi was so overjoyed that he gave Fang Chenyu a big kiss on the cheek!
"When I graduate, I will work as a reporter to save money!" Fang Chenyu added.
Fang Zheng's face instantly darkened. He slapped his son on the butt and taught him a lesson, "You are useless! Dad can help you with whatever you want to do. Why do you have to be a reporter? Forget about being a reporter. Your current task is to study hard. In the future, Dad will teach you everything he has learned in his life."
"Without the means to reach the heavens, how can you become rich? Always remember that wealth comes from the art of fortune-telling, not from hard work; and profit comes from the situation, not from hard work. So you should look up and see the road, not look down and work."
All-powerful means and immense wealth?
Fang Chenyu, who was originally excited, gradually showed suspicion in his eyes.
After struggling for a moment, he asked, "Dad... doesn't our family owe a lot of debt? Is the debt true or false? Is what you just said reliable?"
What's wrong with this kid? Why is he so hard to fool?
Fang Zheng's teeth were about to spark, and he said with a dark face: "How could Dad lie to you? Ever since your grandpa and grandma, our family has been in debt! But our ancestors were rich, and this is our ancestral teaching. You should listen to Dad, that's right!"
Fang Chenyu sighed, jumped down from Fang Zhengyi's arms, patted Fang Zhengyi's hand, and said seriously: "Dad, don't worry. When I grow up, I will definitely help you pay off your debt!"
