Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 506 Lan Gui Qifang

  Cantonese people love to drink herbal tea, and many Chinese medicine shops in London’s Chinatown sell their own “special drinks”.

  This herbal tea is neither tea nor cold. It tastes bitter and sweet. Drinking a bowl of herbal tea that “clears the heat and lowers the fire” after the “heating” can calm one’s mind. The strong bitter taste is also part of the traditional culture.

  The old generation of Chinese with herbal tea in hand and the new generation of Chinese with Starbucks in hand are woven together in this “Chinatown”. This is the development of the times or the retrogression of the times. Perhaps only a few years later, people will be able to comment.

People’s curiosity makes people always like to follow new things and forget old and old things. “Advertisements” are not all consumerism. For example, if you sell herbal tea, if you don’t yell and say what kind of effect your herbal tea has, who Do you know what Chinese medicine is added to the herbal tea he sells?

  Consumerism has a “brand premium”. For the same coffee, Ethiopian and Starbucks are no different, but some people would rather spend ten times the money on Starbucks than drink coffee without a “brand”. There is an emotional value in this consumption behavior, which is determined by the consumer's psychology. Drinking Starbucks represents "high-end", it is the identity and grade. These values ​​higher than the cost of products and materials are used by merchants to create advertisements, ask celebrities to endorse, and implant the concept of "high-end" into consumers' brains. brainwashing.

  A person struggling with food and clothing would not consider drinking Starbucks. Drink a bowl of herbal tea in a Chinese medicine shop. The boss will give it free when he is in a good mood.

   "City" does not have so many elegant art, there is less meat in the claypot rice, and you have to bargain with the boss. The money is all hard-earned, of course, you have to save money.

  Many of these people are illegal immigrants. They work in the kitchens of Chinese restaurants with meager salaries.

The business of a restaurant mainly depends on the cook. If the cook is not good, then the business of this restaurant will become "tragic". The Chinese in Chinatown yelled in the restaurant. "Ghosts" will go on strike and protest. Not to mention Kung Pao chicken, even cabbage is not fried, Chinese restaurants only sell steamed vegetables and buffet.

I am used to eating Chinese food, and occasionally eating western food is no problem. I miss the taste of my hometown. International students and overseas Chinese buy sauces from their hometown in the Chinese supermarket. The supermarket writes at the door which products are discounted. Everyone knows the price of food. , These "advertisements" are not consumerism either.

There are also merchants from Wenzhou in Chinatown. They use RMB to check out. A pair of sneakers is originally worth 500RMB. He has to bid a price of 1,000RMB and sell it at a 20% discount. He must be bargaining with him at a roadside stall, the same. The shoes are placed in a beautifully decorated department store with a mark of 3,000 yuan, and a 20% discount of 2,400 yen is like someone bought them.

  The value of 500 things is sold for 2,400. Normal people will not do this kind of loss-making business, but the brainwashed people will do it. Many sneakers are produced by China itself. When you open the package, you will know that it says madeinchina. The exact same thing is sold to the producer ten times. This is the harm caused by consumerism.

Most people can’t estimate the value and cost of a commodity. In psychology, people need a reference when making judgments about something, just like a ship sinking an anchor into the seabed for positioning. The first information Or the first representation gives the brain the strongest stimulus. That pair of shoes sells for 500 in London, and may earn 300 in China.

  However, for people working in London, 500 pounds is less than 100 pounds, which is not particularly high relative to local consumer prices.

In Chinese terms, it means that the length and the short form each other, and it is difficult and easy to form each other. When a single thing exists, it cannot be accurately positioned. A reference object is needed for comparison. A ruler is a ruler. Two rulers with different lengths will have a long ruler and a ruler. The difference between short feet, the "pain point" in marketing methods is to activate those unconscious desires that exist in the subconscious mind. What is "happiness"? You are free to spend money to buy what you want, can you get happiness if you squander it at will? Someone said yes. Another person ruthlessly revealed the short, saying that his clothes were earned by illegal means, and his ostentatious sense of happiness disappeared.

  The most tragic thing in the world is to get hope from the mouth of a liar. People who are brainwashed abnormally cannot listen to people’s persuasion. He will also call the person who reminded him is a poor ghost.

  According to the truth, it is to take a lesson once and remember the pain, but the vast majority of people are "dead and never change." Historical experience has proved that the arrogant and prosperous life will perish the country, but there are still many people who still live their own lives.

  His life is so good, why should he listen to nonsense? Give up a comfortable life and be thrifty and thrifty?

  From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to simplicity is difficult, consumerism is constantly tapping people's desires, and people continue to spend money to buy.

  When morals and beliefs still exist, they can also curb the desire of capitalists to maximize the interests of capitalists. Now people’s desires are infinitely expanded, and some people even claim that consumerism is the fallacy of the development of productivity to a certain extent.

Many Chinese have heard another rumor that in Western capitalist society, private ownership is sacred and inviolable. In fact, the topic of private ownership is very different among various Christian denominations. In most cases, people avoid this problem by selectively ignoring this issue. .

  In the "Bible", God's approval of private property is based on the principle that divine power is superior to human rights. Before the Black Death pandemic in the 14th century, having too much personal wealth would not be respected. Some early clergymen even put forward the view that private property comes from greed.

Greed is an original sin. After **** was resurrected, many believers made donations. Many big businessmen were donating. Another widow only donated 2 silver coins. But **** praised her. She donated more than everyone else. So Muggles in the Middle Ages It seems that poverty and abstinence have become a virtue.

  After the fourteenth century, the Holy See sometimes believed in public ownership and regarded the elimination of private property as correct. During the suppression of Protestantism by the Holy See in the Middle Ages, the Holy See also completely ignored the personal ownership of the rebels and their descendants.

Not every EU country pursues wealth and scientific progress like the Protestant countries such as the United Kingdom. Many of them retain the ideas of the Middle Ages, the deprivation of the rights and functions of property by socialists, and the socialist compulsory contribution system, part of the purpose. It lies in overcoming the misuse and abuse of property. No matter when, as long as the use of property is not regulated by ethical and religious beliefs, this kind of abuse will become possible.

  According to the results of Martina's human nature experiment, people will abuse everything without ethics and religious beliefs, and create many evil acts through collective unconscious behavior. At the Rumbos Palace Conference in 1887, the Episcopal Conference of the Anglicans from all over the world called on the pastors to study "from the lessons of Christ, which parts of socialism and to what extent are good and correct? ".

  In former Christian countries where communist forces dominate, the church generally no longer preaches the ethics of private property.

  However, the rich have been deprived of their wealth, but the poor have not entered the ideal country.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in China, in order to prepare to fight the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once called on businessmen from all over the country to donate money, but only one person actually donated. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Sang Hongyang to issue an order to the country to collect the assets of the businessmen from all over the country. , Used in foreign military warfare.

The slogan "I am a strong man will be punishable even if it is far away" is an inspiring slogan. However, in the 30 years of war against Hungary, the Han Empire also lost its national power, not only consuming the social wealth accumulated by Emperor Wenjing and Emperor Wenjing. Domestic industry and commerce were also destroyed.

  Tian Khan’s evaluation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is: There are very few of them for thirty years.

The achievements of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are actually not as high as those of Emperor Han Xuan. However, most Chinese people are very unfamiliar with Emperor Liu Bing of Han Xuan. He is the son of the prince Liu Zheng who has fallen into the evil of witchcraft. This is an emperor who grew up from the private sector. He opposed full-time employment. Confucianism.

   Confucianism has many merits, but it is not worthy of comprehensive promotion, anyway, Pomona will never bring it into the classroom.

  Other couples are shopping for happiness, but she is observing human beings. When will she be normal?

   "Does Mr. Wen look like Quirrell?" Pomona said

   "What?" the old bat who was looking around asked wonderingly.

   "I said, Mr. Wen looks like Quirrell?" She gritted her teeth and said, "They are just as good at flattering."

   "No, they are not the same." Severus smiled evilly, and he was the most evil kind "Do you know what we were talking about just now?"

   "I didn't pay attention."

   "Compared with persuasive temptation, he believes that warnings and threats are more convincing. On Lantern Festival, they will set off a lot of'firecrackers', so that you can't hear gunfire."

   "I really can't see that Mr. Wen is so combative."

"He is not warlike, just doing the right thing. No matter how rich the Chinese are, they can't grab it if they want. Choosing the wrong enemy is more deadly than choosing the wrong friend. If a werewolf really attacks Chinatown, it will save us. Thing."

   "Then what if they don't attack?"

   Severus sneered, "The Chinese look very bully, but I think the werewolves will regret it very much."

  Intense confrontation will lead to conflicts, but only after the tricks can you understand your shortcomings and shortcomings.

  It is not friends, but enemies that make us progress.

A girl who is as smart and exposed as Hermione is certainly good, but men and even boys don’t like girls who are smarter than themselves. In the first grade, Hermione was isolated, and Severus didn’t like it very much either. She, he just liked her a little bit more than the fantasy combination of Ron and Harry.

  So Pomona smirked after listening to Severus' remarks.

   "You are so amazing, dear." She looked up at him, as if she was looking up at some great man. "This is called killing someone with a knife, right?"

   "No, this is to unite all the forces that can be united." Severus nodded the tip of her nose and said in a good mood, "Let's go to the supermarket."

   So he took her by the hand and walked into a Chinese supermarket.
