I remember that in "The Richest Man in Xihong City," the heroine's boyfriend, "Wang Leehom," in Xihong City, is an elegant literati. And in front of the upstart who got rich overnight, played by Shen Teng, he can instantly make this elegant scholar bow his head and bow down. Talking about money doesn't hurt feelings. Since childhood, we were taught to be cautious about money, and we were even embarrassed to put it on the table, because it seemed tacky and utilitarian. But when we grow up, we realize that talking about money not only hurts our feelings but also puts ourselves in a passive disadvantaged position, losing resources, losing contacts, and losing a lot of things that belonged to us or things we dreamed of.
It would be sad to see money now as the 'enemy'. Money is not omnipotent, but without money it is absolutely impossible. We cannot live without money in our lives. With limited resources, negotiating money has become an important criterion, otherwise it will be difficult for society to operate efficiently. You are costly; you must learn to refuse.' That's the truth. Talking about money is about respect for yourself and respect for others. However, the movie "Ultimate to the Sea" made me re-understand the contest between money and human nature. Capital seeks profit. The film "Ultimate to the Sea" (also translated as' Benefit Storm') cuts apart the nature of human nature in the face of financial interests and shows it naked in front of the audience, which is thought-provoking. Pictures from the Internet of workplace networking
At the beginning, Eric, the head of risk control, was laid off, and the indifference of the personnel conversation was in stark contrast to the gratitude of Eric's subordinate, Sullivan. Eric is an old employee who has worked for the company for 19 years. It only took him more than ten minutes to pack up and leave. When he just left the office building, his mobile phone was disabled by the company. This is a middle-aged man. For men, it is undoubtedly a heavy blow. Nobody knows how much responsibility and burden he may be carrying.Mortgage, children's education, family expenses, etc., there is no warning, no buffer. The reality may not be so extreme, but who is not worried about being laid off and facing the risk of unemployment ?
When the young analyst Sullivan reviewed the data on the USB flash drive Eric gave him and found a major risk warning, all the company's top management held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures. Everyone began to look for Eric, who was fired a few hours ago, and because the company disabled his mobile phone, he was unable to reach him.In front of interest, what about dignity?
When the young analyst Sullivan believed that his boss Sam would not violate his own principles because of changes in the environment, even Sam himself always believed that when he saw the company boss John in the bathroom, handing her a sheet with a large amount written on it. When calculating the compensation figure, he said, "You know my bottom line, I have always considered the company." In the blink of an eye, he convened a meeting of the company's employees, listed out the next work plan and the risks that each person may face, and let everyone choose by themselves. because he understands that under the trend of these high bonuses, people will not have trouble living with money, even at the risk of being laid off.
Sure enough, everything was as he expected, and the employees actively carried out the call to sell the business according to his plan. What he did not expect was that the work was still in progress, and the superiors had already started laying off staff. He angrily went to the big boss, John, and at that time, John was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, admiring the bustling downtown Manhattan, eating breakfast gracefully, as if everything was under his control, calm and calm. Sam was outraged: "I'm done." I'm leaving. I'm getting back all my stock options and dividends. "
The big boss, John, responded slowly: "These can be reserved for you, but I need you to follow me for two more years." He saw Sam's guilt and made a one-minute reasoned speech: after 40 years of work, many things have been exhausted; this is just a game; there are many similar encounters in history; we can't change that. What we can only deal with If you do it right, you can make a lot of money; if you do it wrong, you will be abandoned by others. The ratio of winners and losers is the same; happy bastards and poor unlucky ones, fat cats and hungry dogs.
Sam changed his mind after listening to the one-minute speech: Well, I'll keep doing it, not because of what you said,but because I need money. I can't believe that after all these years, I still need to work hard to make money. At this time, young analysts Sullivan and Sam's immediate leader, Cohen, appeared in the restaurant, and the company gave up some of the employees' colleagues and tried to retain these potential and valuable employees. At the other end of the spectrum, financial crisis analyst Sarah had to take the blame for the company, explaining the sell-off to traders and the board as a leader. Although she had reminded Big Boss John and Cohen of the crisis a year earlier, Big Boss John chose Cohen over Sarah.
Obsessed with interests—the bottom line and principles give way to interests. What this film shows is not Sam's compromise on the bottom line and principles, nor is the risk control supervisor, Eric, who was fired from the beginning, bowing his head to money, but everyone's compromise and concession to reality. Those traders at the grassroots level conscientiously deceive their peers to sell junk products, and at the same time, they are also facing the risk of ruining their career prospects. At this time, it may not be the best choice to clean yourself up and get out of the game. Only compromise can get us out of this predicament, and only compromise can temporarily win the game.
The test of human nature by money is naked, biting, and funny. Thinking about career development Pictures from the Internet From this film, you can also see some unspoken rules in workplace development. Only capable people are qualified to have the last laugh. For example, the young analyst Sullivan's serious and responsible attitude towards work and high professional quality, and the experienced stockbroker Sam's excellent leadership of the team, their excellent ability has won them the company's recognition and retention opportunities .
Those with less ability are the most easily bullied and the first to be laid off and abandoned at the moment of crisis. For example, Sarah, the financial crisis analyst who took the blame for the company; for example, Seth, who is also a new employee, likes to spend time with his boss, but his attitude and professional ability are inferior to Sullivan's. Later, when he learned that he would be fired, he cried hysterically in the toilet, regretful. I am thinking about money. Pictures from the Internet Because of the unequal wealth and the need for everyone, some people are willing to risk their reputations for money; some risk their crimes and go to jail; some risk their lives; and some risk their lives.
For Wall Street financial tycoons, Sam did a pretty good job, but in the end, he bowed his head to money. He used to cry because his pet dog was seriously ill, but he felt deceived. A person who feels disgusted by his peers ruining his career, but he still needs money because his pet dog's medical expenses are $1,000 a day; for the supervisor, Emerson, the annual salary of $2.5 million a year is high in the eyes of newcomers in the workplace. It seems that such a large sum of money can be very nourishing and still be spent very quickly.
This also proves that Americans do not like to save money when they consume in advance. In fact, this phenomenon was very popular in the celebrity circle in the past because of extravagant expenses, but the lack of a financial management concept eventually led to bankruptcy. For ordinary people, although the cost and risk of bankruptcy are much smaller, many uncertainties in the real world, such as changes in the political and economic environment, abnormal health, and unpredictable natural and man-made disasters, are ringing us all the time. alarm bell. What we should do is to plan ahead, save well, and take appropriate measures to combat risks, such as financial investments such as insurance plans.
History is always strikingly similar. This new crown epidemic has also presented a severe test to the world. If we do not learn from past history, we will make compromises this time. If we are prepared in advance, we will be able to be more calm and collected in the face of crisis. I hope we can all do it:a gentleman loves money and takes it in the proper way . Manage your money better, be the owner of your money, and have more active choices.
