The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Although Xu Hongdou didn't directly agree to Zhao Shucheng, but he didn't struggle fiercely either. Instead, after a while, he said to Zhao Shucheng: "It's getting late, we should go back for dinner." '

Zhao Shucheng knew that Xu Hongdou didn't refuse, that is, he acquiesced, so he was naturally very happy.

"Whatever you want for lunch, I'll make it for you."

"I want to eat shredded pork with Beijing sauce and braised noodles."

"The dish you chose..."

"What, can't you?"

"Of course there's no problem. I'll cook whatever you want. Even if it's dragon liver and phoenix gall, I'll try my best to get it out for you."

While the two of them were talking, they came to the stable, first put Xu Hongdou down, and then Zhao Shucheng jumped down, tied up the cutie, and then took Xu Hongdou towards the windy courtyard.

On the way, the two of them deliberately passed by the market and bought some vegetables before returning to the small courtyard.

Seeing Zhao Shucheng and the others coming back, Ma Qiushan said with a smile: "You guys are back, I thought you were going to eat outside."

"Where can I eat outside every day, or come back and make something myself."

Ma Qiushan glanced at Zhao Shucheng and Xu Hongdou jokingly, and said, "Yeah, I don't know who it was a few days ago, and I didn't cook and went out to eat."

"Master Ma, if you say that, don't eat it for a while."

"Okay, I won't say it, I won't say it."

He could tell that Zhao Shucheng and Xu Hongdou's condition today was different from the previous few days, there must be something wrong.

After eating, the three of them continued their flat life, but they were seen by Aunt Agui who was about to clean up.

"Hey, Master Ma, you have succeeded in cultivating immortality, now instead of meditating, you have changed to eating wind and drinking dew?"

Ma Qiushan glanced at Aunt Agui, and said, "Aunt Agui, do you want tea?"

"Okay, you go make tea."

Ma Qiushan knew that if he wanted to silence Aunt Agui, he had to find something for her to do, otherwise the nagging would be endless.So I got up directly and went to the tea room to prepare tea.

Aunt Agui saw Ma Qiushan going to make tea, and said, "Xiao Zhao, Hongdou, take a break, Master Ma wants to make tea, come and drink tea!"

"it is good!"

After drinking tea, Aunt Agui said, "Hongdou, I heard from people in the village that you are helping Ayao look after the store, so you want to stay here?" '

"No, no, I'm a volunteer, I don't get paid, I just help."

"Oh, it's like this. Help, but it's okay. People always have to find something to do. Laziness is a disease." Aunt Agui glanced at Machu Mountain as she spoke. She always felt that Machu Mountain had been here since After coming here, she would either close her eyes and rest in the yard every day, or meditate, doing nothing, which made her very incomprehensible.

Ma Qiushan naturally knew that he was talking about him. After all, Zhao Shucheng had been here for the past few days. Although he was lying flat, he was still somewhat different from him. ,

"Come on, drink tea, drink tea!"

After Xu Hongdou took a sip, he said, "Well, it tastes good, it smells so good!"

Zhao Shucheng also tasted it, and said: "It's really good, and it's not just a tea scent, it should be processed separately."

Aunt Agui said: "It's really good, but it's just a tea flavor."

Xu Hongdou almost laughed out loud when he heard it, and glanced at Ma Qiushan, feeling that all this painstaking effort was in vain.

It was not easy for Ma Qiushan to tell Aunt Agui how rare his tea was, so he could only agree with him: "Aunt Agui said very Zen principles, tea is just a taste of tea."

Aunt Agui said: "Aunt Agui, I graduated from elementary school and can't speak, so don't take it to heart."

"Your words make a lot of sense."

"Listening to him is just too much work."

"It's hard for me to speak. If you don't like me, it's normal."

Aunt Agui said to Hongdu: "Hongdou, do you think he is a funny person? He eats whole grains, burps, farts and grinds his teeth. He has to do a day's work every day, and he can't be free for a lifetime. Respect the elderly at the top, and respect the old at the bottom." It is very hard to raise a baby. Unless you are dead and buried in the soil, that is the real rest."

Then he said to Ma Qiushan: "People in our village are like your age, and their children are about to go to junior high school. Who would sit there all day? Can sitting there support the family?"

Xu Hongdou said: "It is true to say so, but as long as a person does not cause trouble to others, he does not do things that hurt others, he still has the right to choose his life freely."

"Freedom, unless you are an orphan, you can choose to do whatever you want, but if you have a family, you have to think about your family. But whenever you are idle, they can't be idle. You sit there, Their legs need to work harder."

Seeing Ma Qiushan nodded, Aunt Agui continued: "You people outside often say that as long as you don't break the law, freedom is the best. You can do whatever you want, but I want to ask you, if you are hungry outside, who is outside?" I will take care of you, your parents are old and sick, and you have three disasters and six disasters, but you need money, alas, you just don’t have money. What to do, it’s too late to beg for food now.”

Ma Qiushan said: "Aunt Agui, listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books." '

Aunt Agui said: "I just said it casually, so you can listen casually."

"That's no good. Since you've said all this, I can't chew on peony, as if I didn't hear anything."

Aunt Agui asked a little strangely: "Why does the cow chew peonies?"

"...Why the cow, why it doesn't matter, what it chews doesn't matter, what I'm saying is, I'm sitting here, just to resist my diligence and stop with silence."

Aunt Agui was even more at a loss, looked at Xu Hongdou and asked, "Do you understand?"

"I understand all the words, but I still don't quite understand them together."

"In short, everything in the world is the [-]th rule. Even if you work hard on many things, if you bow and get drunk, it will be nothing in the end. Since it's all nothing, why bother? It would be better to stop with stillness and respond to all changes with the same. This is great wisdom.”

Aunt Agui smiled and said: "I understand, but you are looking for the wrong person. I can't order you, haha. It is very hard for a person to come here crying with bare buttocks and leave with empty hands all his life. You Can’t you stop living because you’re going to die anyway? Apart from breathing fresh air, you don’t need money. What do you need money for? Can you still sit still? Since you can’t sit still, go out to work, why do you have to How about being the boss?"

"Speaking of which, even if you become a wife, a billionaire, and earn a lot of money, that money is piled up in the yard, and the flowers can't be spent, but I'm going to ask you again, one day Are you leaving? Can you take these things with you? People are dead and easy to pass away. Paper things, cars and houses, golden boys and girls, Tiandi Bank, hundreds of billions, and it will take your younger generations to prepare. It’s not worth a few dollars, and I’ll burn it all to you. Right?”

Ma Qiushan was very inspired when she heard it. After all, she said something that many people in this life can't understand.That is, it is absolutely impossible to have no money, but money is also not brought with you when you die, as long as you have enough to spend.People can't live all to make money, but they should make their life meaningful and do what they can.

Zhao Shucheng said: "Aunt Agui, you still live a transparent life, and you are a person with great wisdom."People should keep themselves busy, not become slaves to money, but to do meaningful things. '

"Yes, I don't want to talk about these things. If I say it casually, you just listen to it casually. I won't chat with you here. My work is not done yet."

Damai also heard Aunt Agui's words and felt inspired.Recently, she is trying to change the status quo of her writing, but Nai He seems to have no inspiration at all in her mind, and readers' comments and income have given her little motivation.

She came to the tea room with the computer and said, "Master Ma, Brother Zhao, Hongdou!"

When Ma Qiushan saw Damai approaching, he said, "Why, you have no inspiration for writing again?"

"what!"

"Why no inspiration? Where does the pressure come from?"

"Reader comments, income, and write-offs."

"Why can't I write it?"

'Income and reader comments, a vicious circle. '

Zhao Shucheng said: "Actually, in many cases, you can't modify your writing direction based on readers' comments. After all, people who like your novels read it from the beginning, and only a few people don't like the original direction. But when you follow the When a small number of people’s comments are revised, it has deviated from your original writing direction, which further limits the number of readers, thus forming a new vicious circle. We can learn beneficial things from the outside world, but we must also learn to analyze them Does the thing go along with your novel, or can it really be used in your novel?"

"Just like many novels, which were originally urban sweet pet dramas, but you have to add sadomasochistic plots, which will undoubtedly make people who read your novels feel very uncomfortable, and thus have no desire to continue watching. Or it was originally an urban novel. As a novel, you suddenly become a cultivating novel, then become a science fiction novel, and even worse, turn into a horror novel later, which will make your readers at a loss what to do, and they can only choose to abandon the pit in the end.”

Ma Qiushan nodded and said: "That's right, Damai, listen to me. If you keep your head down and follow the path that others have arranged for you, you will not be able to find a new path. You have to walk your own path. Writing also follows Create your own ideas.”

"However, this road may be full of thorns and bumps, and there will be wolves and tigers watching you. But it doesn't matter, it won't always be like this, you will be lucky sometimes, and you will also see flowers The ground is full of cattle and sheep, and you can also ride your horse and gallop and sing."

"Then Ma, will there be a flowery road if you stick to it?"

"It's the same with every plant and tree."

"Will there be a flower road?"

"Of course there will be." Xu Hongdou said with certainty.

Ma Qiushan said, "Do you want to hear my story?"

"Naturally, Master Ma, we really haven't heard you talk about your past."

Ma Qiushan looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Actually, my story is very simple, and Xiao Zhao may have known it. But I still want to talk about it here, and discuss life with you."

"To tell you the truth, there may not be a flower road, but if you don't go, there will definitely be no. It's like a friend of mine, who 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 Ma Qiushan himself.

"When the Internet was at its most prosperous, he did everything. This kid was lucky, he liked to show off, and he was able to catch up with the wind every time, and retreated before the wind stopped. Later, he became bigger and bigger, and he became more and more popular. Crazy, in Beijing, the most luxurious science and technology park, rented several floors of office buildings, more than 1 square meters, hired hundreds of people, said to do a big job. If you want to do it, you will build the biggest one, but it is a mess. Before I lost everything I earned in the past few years. I sold all the villas and luxury cars I bought. Fortunately, this kid has a conscience. All the wages owed to the employees have been settled, and the balance owed to Party B has also been repaid. eight."

Ma Qiushan took a sip from his teacup and said, "Such a total of before and after, alas, the past few years have been done for nothing, neither making money nor losing money."

Damai asked curiously, "Then what is he doing now?"

"I don't do anything now. Before, he looked at the world, but now he looks at his heart. Stay away from the hustle and bustle, and use his remaining strength to suppress his entrepreneurial heart again."

Barley said: 'Does he still want to start a business? '

"Well, you said that if it was someone else, he would have quit. This kid, he still has that fire in his heart, and he still wants to keep burning, but he is not willing to work for others, so he can only do this every day. Sit."

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "Actually, I think such a person is very good. As long as the fire in my heart is not extinguished, there will always be a day of comeback." '

As he spoke, he looked at Damai and Ma Qiushan, and said, "Actually, you are very similar to that entrepreneur. You are not interested in anything other than what you like. Love 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 if you don't love it enough, sooner or later your enthusiasm will fade, you will feel bored, and you will eventually choose to give up, and it will be difficult for you to do anything well. And when you encounter a job you like and For our career, we will unscrupulously release our enthusiasm, release our energy and wisdom, and even enjoy it.”

It is also work. For a person who likes this job, he enjoys work every day and never feels tired.But for those who don't like this job, they always feel that this job makes them exhausted, but they can't satisfy themselves no matter what.

It's like feelings, 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, trying your best to make her happy, no matter what kind of attitude she has towards you, you will enjoy this kind of response .

And Zhao Shucheng hasn't experienced this feeling for a long time, maybe it's because he travels more and more worlds, maybe it's because he looks thirty, but he's already hundreds of years old, or because there are too many related people and things in his mind , There is no way to get back the purest liking and love, so there is no way to try my best to please a person, and even turn around the other person every day.

But he knows that only those who have love in their hearts can ride the wind and waves and move forward bravely.Because such people have a strong inner strength, supporting them to persevere and struggle.

Although he can't become such a person now, it does not prevent him from admiring such a person, and is willing to help them as much as possible.And he also hopes that by helping these people, when these people share their hope and courage, he can get back to his original state.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shucheng looked at Damai and said, "Damai, in fact, you feel that you are just a little transparent now, and you have to face poor reading volume, a large number of pirated articles, and even bad comments from readers every day, so that you can't see the hope of the future. But in fact, everything you are facing now is just a stumbling block on your road to success. What you need to do is to face it bravely and be firm in your own direction. Writing novels is indeed not easy, especially online novels , often may need to face readers' bad reviews, but you can't lose your confidence because of this."

"In fact, thinking about it the other way around, this is also a good thing. At least you know that your novel is still being followed, and even your latest plot, and your latest developments. Subscriptions require you to have better plots and writing. This is You need a direction to work towards. As for the future, the future is actually under your own feet, if you can find your own direction and go on unswervingly, sooner or later you will have a bright future.”

"Sometimes people can't put too much pressure on themselves, but have enough self-confidence. I may not know much about writing novels, but I think you can't stretch yourself so tightly. Instead, you should relax and read more books. Going outside more often may help your writing. In addition, when writing, you still need an outline and a detailed outline. This will make you follow the detailed outline when you do not have a good idea for writing. You don’t have to force yourself to rack your brains to think about your creation.”

While talking, Zhao Shucheng looked at Mr. Ma and said, "Mr. Ma, there is nothing wrong with your friend wanting to start a business. Maybe in the eyes of some people, he only wanted to start a business and become a boss, instead of being a down-to-earth worker. , is a kind of dissatisfaction, or an expression of overreaching. But in my opinion, on the contrary, he knows what he is more suitable for."

"Some people are suitable for part-time work, but some people are not suitable for being a part-time worker. As the saying goes, those who work hard will rule others, and those who work hard will follow others. Some people are good at working hard, and some people are good at working hard. It's just that the division of labor is different. You can make a It is a waste in itself for someone who is good at managing a company or starting a business to be an ordinary worker."

"Of course, it doesn't mean that he can really start a business without hesitation. On the contrary, he has to learn from the lessons of previous business failures, do a good job of planning and market research, and then start a business to make himself go more smoothly."

Ma Qiushan understood that Zhao Shucheng had actually guessed that the friend was him, so he was silent for a while, and said, "Yes, we should learn a lesson."

Don't look at Ma Qiushan lying flat in the yard during the day, but at night, he is tinkering with some bottles and cans in his room, just 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 left for him to toss, and if he still fails this time, he will have no way out.

"Master Ma, if that friend of yours still wants to start a business and has a detailed plan, you can tell me. If I'm interested, maybe I can be an angel investor. I am not satisfied with the project, and even if I feel that there is no investment value, I will give up without hesitation."

Ma Qiushan said with a smile: "Of course, if it really doesn't work, wouldn't it be a scam for you to invest?"

Damai looked at Ma Qiushan and Zhao Shucheng half-understood, scratched his head, and then continued to think about his own writing.

Instead, Xu Hongdou understood something, and when he and Zhao Shucheng continued to go back to lie dead, he asked, "Are you going to invest in Master Ma?",

"Not necessarily. If Ma Ye's new project is profitable, why don't I get involved? It's letting other people make money with the funds, so what's wrong with lying here?"

"But you're not afraid of taking risks?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled, and said: "Master Ma Qiushan, you can search the Internet, and after reading his legendary experience, you can talk about risky things."

After Xu Hongdou heard this, he hesitated for a moment, took out his mobile phone and searched for Machushan, and sure enough there were a lot of news about Machushan.

I have to say that the experience of Machushan is really wonderful. He has been rooted in the Internet since its rise, and has been at the forefront of the times for more than ten years. However, the sharing economy gave him a heavy Blow, and finally failed.

The sharing economy boasted very well at the beginning, in order to reduce costs for consumers and provide more convenient services.And the products that have been launched, shared bicycles and shared charging treasures, have indeed brought convenience to many people.However, companies under the sharing economy have not found a reasonable source of profit. They used capital to enclose land at the beginning, and then relied on market size to harvest leeks.And Ma Qiushan fell when he was staking the land, because he used the money he had spent over the years to invest in it, and other companies were backed by capital. In the end, Machushan failed to go public through financing, and naturally It's also a loss.

In fact, this also awakened many people, that is, it is no problem to use capital to expand, but enterprises are still commercial organizations in the final analysis, and they need to make profits. fell to the bottom.

Ma Qiushan has already experienced the pain of falling to the bottom, so when he was preparing to start a business again, he no longer followed the trend blindly, but started to keep his feet on the ground.When he fiddles with bottles and cans at night, he is developing his own products, so that he can take a path that no one else has, and reduce the pressure of competition on his entrepreneurial road.
