Live broadcast: I am an upright Chinese medicine practitioner, and all my patients died online

There is an old saying that wealth cannot last for more than three generations, but it never says that poverty cannot last for more than three generations. Why is that?

It is because it is very easy for rich people to fall from the top. Maybe it is just a wrong decision, maybe it is because of making bad friends, or maybe it is because of being cheated by competitors.

But it is very difficult for poor people to become rich.

Because the truth of this world is that it is difficult to get rich through hard work.

Those who can truly become rich rely not only on hard work, but also on intelligence, knowledge, vision, professional skills and luck.

Some people even want to succeed and need a good wife, a good father-in-law, or a good mother-in-law, so that they can rise to prominence and turn their lives around.

Liu Yan knew these principles before, but all she knew were some theories and abstract concepts, and she didn't know what they were specifically like.

But now after hearing what Qin Jiang said, she seemed to understand something.

"Doctor Qin, do you mean to say that all the fake goods are sold to these poor people? But don't they think there is something wrong with using fake goods? Why should they spend money to suffer losses?"

Liu Yan didn't understand.

In her opinion, it is better to spend more money and buy the real thing than to buy something that breaks down after a short time.

Qin Jiang said calmly: "It's a very simple truth. Just like headphones, some people like to buy headphones that cost more than 100 yuan, while some people like to buy headphones that cost more than 1,000 yuan. So the question is, they are all headphones, why do people choose such different prices?"

Liu Yan is very knowledgeable about headphones, so when Qin Jiang asked this, Liu Yan immediately gave an answer.

"Because the sound quality is different. The sound quality of headphones that cost more than 100 yuan is very average, and there is a lot of noise. But headphones that cost more than 1,000 yuan are different. Not only can you hear more details, but the good sound quality is definitely a good protection for your eardrum, and it won't cause your hearing loss or something like that."

"Good headphones have more mode options and can be matched with more electronic devices. So I think if you can afford it, you can still buy headphones that cost more than 1,000 yuan. They are very cost-effective."

As soon as Liu Yan said this, the netizens in the live broadcast room were immediately shocked.

"Wow, this is the first time I've heard that a pair of headphones that cost over a thousand dollars is quite cost-effective. Am I the only one that costs just a few dozen dollars a pair?"

"She's actually right. From the perspective of rich people, headphones that cost more than a thousand yuan are indeed more cost-effective. Because apart from the sound quality, this kind of headphones can be used for a long time. For example, my brother has a pair of headphones that were very expensive when he bought them, but he's still using them now, ten years later."

"Indeed, I have done the math before. Instead of buying cheap headphones and buying a new pair every once in a while, it is better to buy a better pair of headphones that can be used all the time. As long as you can take good care of the headphones, the cost of a single day will actually be recovered long ago. The cost-effectiveness is indeed very high."

"Dude, even if you calculate like this, not everyone can afford a headset that costs over a thousand dollars. I think you guys are too rich. Headphones are just for listening, why do you need to make them so exaggerated?"

Because of the earphone issue, netizens in the live broadcast room instantly split into two camps.

Some people think that if you average out the daily cost of a pair of headphones that cost more than a thousand yuan, the price is actually very affordable, even more affordable than many fake products.

So they can't understand why so many people buy cheap stuff.

On the other hand, people believe that valuable items cannot be calculated in this way. If everything is averaged out by time, then nothing will be expensive.

Liu Yan told Qin Jiang all the opinions of the netizens, and then asked, "Doctor Qin, which netizens do you think makes more sense?"

Qin Jiang thought for a while and said, "So the point they are discussing is whether it is more economical and cost-effective to buy headphones that cost dozens of dollars or more than a thousand dollars?" Liu Yan nodded.

"Yes."

Qin Jiang smiled helplessly.

"Then I think they are all wrong. Because the poor people I just discussed with you, they don't buy headphones worth more than ten dollars."

"Do you think this kind of headphones are cost-effective?"

As soon as Qin Jiang said these words, everyone was stunned.

"Are there any headphones that cost less than ten yuan now?"

"Indeed, they are available in those cheap little supermarkets. However, the sound quality of these headphones is absolutely degraded. Not to mention listening to music, even if you use them to watch ordinary videos, you may not be able to hear clearly what the people in the video are saying."

"Why buy this kind of headphones? There's no point, right?"

Qin Jiang seemed to have anticipated this reaction from netizens. He continued, "For the truly poor, whether to buy headphones that cost less than ten yuan or several dozen yuan is just like their argument just now about whether to buy headphones that cost only several dozen yuan or a thousand yuan."

"It's not that they don't know about cost-effectiveness. Even if you put the daily bill in front of them, they will still only choose the 10-yuan headset."

"Why? Because this is the only headset they can afford."

When Qin Jiang said this, he suddenly sighed and said, "This is just like those workers just now. They are really risking their lives to make money."

"From a long-term perspective, don't they know that working in such a harsh environment while sick is a huge challenge to their health and life expectancy?"

"They must know."

"But even so, they still choose to overdraw their bodies without hesitation and use their lives to exchange for money. This behavior is irrational and unwise, but they have no choice."

"Because apart from doing this kind of work to make money, there is no other way for them to do other work to make money."

It is said that there is no distinction between high and low occupations, but in fact this statement is not true.

There is indeed no distinction between high and low occupations, but there is definitely a distinction between high and low.

Otherwise, why can some people make a fortune just by moving their fingers and making a phone call?

Some people work around the clock, overdrawing their lives on work for more than ten hours, and only earn enough to eat three meals a day?

This is actually because everyone’s situation is different, and everyone’s choices are different, so the paths they take in the future will also be different.

If these people could study hard and have some cultural knowledge, who would be willing to make money by doing manual labor? (End of this chapter)
