Chapter 3 Life in the Starry Sky Chapter 19: Space Citizen Pangze
Virtual world, Pangze’s personal space.
"Let me take a look at your analysis of Fang Yu's dossier first." Pang Ze looked at his son's answer, flipped through a few papers, shook his head slightly, and looked up at his son. "Do you think Fang Yu has a limited future and can't even make it into the top ten among Xia Country's masters?"
"Yes."
Pang Yun nodded, "Dad, you let me receive the eighth-level inheritance. It is clearly written in the inheritance that the spiritual aspect becomes more and more important as time goes by. Fang Yu has been a child of destiny since he was young. He has been smooth sailing and has not encountered many setbacks. It will be very difficult for him to grow in terms of spiritual will... For example, it took him a long time to break through from the third level to the fourth level. I think it will be a hundred times or a thousand times more difficult for him to break through to the fifth level. In Xia Country, he wants to rank in the top ten? I think there is no hope."
"I'll give you a zero." Pang Ze shook his head.
Pang Yun glared: "Zero points?"
For Cheng Zihao's answer to the paper, his father gave him 50 points, although it was still a failing grade.
But Fang Yu’s answer to the file was 0 points.
"You wrote a set of arguments, some of the logic is correct, but the results are wrong." Pang Ze said, "The results are all wrong, so naturally you get 0 points."
"What did I do wrong?" Pang Yun asked.
"Let's talk about Cheng Zihao first."
Pang Ze waved his hand, and a simple video introduction of Cheng Zihao appeared next to him.
"Cheng Zihao is a descendant of the Cheng family. The Cheng family once controlled the Tiger Shark Group and the family once had hundreds of billions of wealth." Pang Ze said, "Cheng Zihao has been attending prestigious schools since he was a child. Even though his grades are average, he can still get into the best university."
Pang Yun nodded and listened.
"But getting into a good school doesn't mean you are a good student." Pang Ze shook his head. "If the academic level of a genius college graduate is set at 10, then the academic level of a genius high school student is probably 5, and the academic level of a genius junior high school student is probably 3!"
"And Cheng Zihao's academic level, to put it nicely, can only be considered 2 or 1."
Pang Ze said, "Education level 1-2, which can represent his level of wisdom."
Pang Yun nodded slightly: "Genius high school students are all abnormal, and genius university graduates...can all become world-class experts, right?"
"Yes." Pang Ze nodded. "People's intelligence varies greatly. Genius university graduates are indeed comparable to some top experts, so the academic level is 10. Compared with academic level 10, Cheng Zihao is as stupid as a pig."
"People need to know themselves," Pang Ze said. "They need to understand their own wisdom level, their abilities, and the things they can do."
"Of course, after entering society, people can also learn from society, but it is obvious..." Pang Ze pointed at the video, "After entering society, all kinds of gossip, he did not learn anything in society, nor did he become excellent."
"On the contrary, he has offended many people in society." Pang Ze said, "He relies on the power of the Cheng family and the Tiger Shark Group and doesn't care and offends people at will."
Pang Yun nodded slightly.
“What is society?”
Pang Ze looked at his son and said, "Society is made up of people. Many of the people he offended before were people with enough energy. It's okay to offend one person, but if you offend too many people... the accumulation of these energies is actually very dangerous."
"As the ancients said, those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few supporters!"
"The ancients knew that one must have many helpers, and he offended people at will, so he was considered a 'loser.'" Pang Ze said, "Besides, with the advent of the virtual world, the Cheng family was finished, but his live broadcast company happened to be on the cusp of the trend and began to soar."
"At this time, he was raising funds on a large scale. In order to raise more funds, he would rather sign a large number of gambling agreements and even some joint liability clauses." Pang Ze said, "He didn't realize what would happen if the gambling agreement failed. Can he really bear the joint liability?"
"He didn't consider the risks, and only thought about higher valuations and more financing," Pang Ze said. "But in fact, his education level is only 1-2, and he has offended many people. In the process of running his business, he has encountered some obstacles to varying degrees."
Pang Yun listened.
"He just kept burning money without doing any accounting," Pang Ze said. "How long can the cash flow last? Can it form a positive cycle? He didn't understand anything. He just wanted to expand the business."
"When the competition gets a little fierce, I can't stand it."
"Once the industry went downhill, he collapsed immediately."
Pang Ze shook his head. "It is said that the survivors are the winners! In a cruel and harsh environment, only the companies that can survive can be considered to be truly well-run companies. If the virtual world live broadcast industry goes downhill a little bit, it will be the end of him."
"All along, you have been a playboy with no self-awareness and you have ruined yourself." Pang Ze looked at his son.
"Self-knowledge?" Pang Yun thought, "Dad, what is my educational level?"
"A genius high school student is a 5, and you are a 4 now." Pang Ze smiled. He has been cultivating his son since he was young, and his son is indeed very outstanding.
"But in this society, the intelligence level of top masters is generally 8-10." Pang Ze said, "Competing with such a group of top masters, do you think you can win? You still have a lot to learn."
Pang Yun nodded.
"In fact, no matter what you do, you have to understand what is wrong." Pang Ze said, "What are the reasons for a person to go bankrupt? Gambling, drugs, huge personal debts, bad gambling conditions, joint liability, guarantees... Cheng Zihao made many mistakes that could lead to bankruptcy. In fact, as long as he avoided these pitfalls and the company happened to be in the right place, he could have made a lot of money."
"Even if a person's wisdom level is lower, as long as he knows himself and does not do anything dangerous, he can naturally get through the risks safely." Pang Ze said.
"But if the company wants to develop, it needs financing," said Pang Yun.
"remember."
Pang Ze looked at his son and said, "If someone who has no ability or capability borrows money, it will only hurt himself."
“People with talent and ability can still thrive without borrowing money.”
Pang Yun listened thoughtfully.
"There is also financing, and there are ways to raise funds. No gambling, no joint liability. Let investors and yourself share the profits and losses." Pang Ze said, "Although the valuation may be low, individuals do not have to bear the risk."
"If the company grows, investors can also make a lot of money. If the company loses money, the investors will bear the losses themselves."
"remember……"
Pang Ze said, "A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall! Don't let yourself get into a 'difficult situation'. Cheng Zihao has tied himself up with layers of ropes. If any rope is tightened, he will be finished."
Pang Yun nodded slightly.
"Tell me, what do you understand?" Pang Ze asked.
"I understand. The first thing is to position yourself, understand your own level of wisdom, and have self-knowledge. Second, if you have no ability, borrowing money will harm yourself. If you have ability, you don't need to borrow money. Even if you raise funds, investors must bear the responsibilities themselves. Third, don't put yourself in trouble." Pang Yun said immediately.
"I can only give you 50 points for your understanding." Pang Ze shook his head slightly, "Go back and experience it carefully. Don't look at the surface of things, look at the essence."
"It's like doing sets in mathematics. If you eliminate the wrong sets, what's left is the 'correct' set," Pontzer said. "As I said just now, the reason a person goes bankrupt is because he collects all the wrong sets. Eliminate these... and what's left will keep you from going bankrupt."
“And similar concepts of collections can be generalized.”
"What are the possible ways that people fail? If we exclude these, what are the possibilities that there will be no failure?"
"What are the possible reasons why people have low intelligence? If we rule them out, can we find a way to have high intelligence?"
Pang Ze looked at his son and said, "When it comes to a matter, we need to look at its essence and understand the most essential way of thinking."
Pang Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately drew inferences from one instance and made many associations: "What are the reasons for the slow progress in martial arts? Make a list of failures. After eliminating them... it may be the list that leads to success."
"Let's talk about Fang Yu." Pang Ze pointed to the side, where a video of Fang Yu's growth appeared. "Do you think Fang Yu can't be among the top ten in Xia Country?"
"I think his mental willpower is weak and he has experienced too few setbacks," said Pang Yun.
"Ha ha……"
"But he has also entered the fourth level, and he is even more amazing at the current fourth level limit." Pang Ze smiled and said, "Why do you think that is?"
"It's just a temporary advantage." Pang Yun said.
"Son, what do you think spiritual consciousness is?" Pang Ze looked at his son.
Pang Yun was slightly startled: "In the inheritance I received, there are methods to assist the brain's evolution, visualization methods, training of the mind and will, as well as reading and practice."
"These are universal." Pang Ze said, "Reading and practice are the core that really determines how far you can go! Foolishly honing your spiritual will will have limited effect. You must have extraordinary wisdom, the wisdom to see through the operation of all things, and even practice to comprehend and perceive, so that your spiritual consciousness will become stronger."
"And Fang Yu!"
Pang Ze pointed at the video and said, "Didn't you notice from his growth process that he has a very big advantage?"
"Advantages?" Pang Yun was puzzled.
"He is good at learning!" Pang Ze said solemnly, "He has been taught by his father and other elders since he was young. He is able to concentrate on learning, and his achievements are even higher than those of his father and other elders. The disciple is better than the master!"
"He knows how to learn from masters, absorb their strengths, and integrate them into himself." Pang Ze said, "Xu Jingming is his opponent, but he is not proud and stubborn. He is able to learn from Xu Jingming and break through to the fourth level."
"He even publicly said that he made a breakthrough by learning Xu Jingming's nine martial arts lessons." Pang Ze said, "If he cared too much about his reputation, he would not say it publicly even if he gained something from Xu Jingming's course! But he said it publicly, willing to lower his status and act as if Xu Jingming is his teacher."
"He is good at learning, and studies every powerful person with devotion." Pang Ze said, "As he comes into contact with more and more powerful people, he will continue to absorb nutrition and grow."
"In the entire Xia country... I am most optimistic about Xu Jingming! The second is Fang Yu, who seems to have not experienced many setbacks but is good at learning and is devout in learning." Pang Ze said.
"Dad, you are so optimistic about Fang Yu?" Pang Yun couldn't believe it. "What about Liu Hai? Does Fang Yu have greater potential than Liu Hai?"
"Liu Hai embraces hundreds of schools of thought and integrates martial arts throughout his life. His potential is indeed extraordinary. But he has set a frame for himself!" Pang Ze said, "The frame of Tai Chi! This frame is very large. But the universe is even more vast! The frame of Tai Chi will allow him to better absorb external nourishment and grow rapidly. But it will also ultimately limit his growth."
“Don’t set limits for yourself!”
"Don't set limits on martial arts." Pang Ze looked at his son, "Okay, go back and think about it carefully."
"yes."
Pang Yun nodded. He had too many thoughts in his mind now, so he left.
Pang Ze watched his son leave and sighed softly: "I am talking about others, but I am also talking about myself. My academic level is indeed the highest in Blue Star, reaching level 56! But I also have to know myself... Knowing myself, I know what I should do and what I shouldn't do. I won't fall into such a big trap this time."
"There are countless heroes in the universe." Pang Ze then lightly tapped, "Connect to the virtual world network."
Wow——
The scene in front of Pang Ze changed.
"Welcome, space citizen Pangze." A gentle voice sounded in my ears.
