Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 506 Langui 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. The taste is either bitter or sweet. Drinking a bowl of herbal tea that clears heat and lowers fire after burning fire can make people calm. The strong bitter taste is also part of traditional culture.

The older generation of Chinese with herbal tea in hand and the newer generation of Chinese with Starbucks in their hands come and go in this Chinatown. Whether this is the development of the times or the regression of the times may only be judged by people in a few years later.

Human curiosity makes people always like to follow new things and forget old and old things. Not all advertisements are consumerism. Do you know what traditional Chinese medicine is added to the herbal tea he sells?

There is a brand premium in consumerism. The same coffee is no different from Starbucks in Ethiopia, 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 psychology of consumers. Drinking Starbucks represents high-end, which is status and grade. These values, which are higher than product costs and material costs, are used by merchants to spend a lot of money to create advertisements, invite celebrities to endorse, and implant the concept of high-end into the brains of consumers. brainwashing.

A person who is struggling with food and clothing will not consider drinking Starbucks. He will drink a bowl of herbal tea at a Chinese medicine store, and the boss will give it away for free when he is in a good mood.

Marketplace does not have so many elegant arts. If there is less meat in claypot rice, you have to bargain with the boss. The money is hard earned, so of course you should save it.

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

The business of a restaurant mainly depends on the cook. If the cook is not good, then the restaurant’s business will become disastrous. Not to mention Kung Pao Chicken, cabbage is not even fried, and Chinese restaurants only sell steamed vegetables and buffets.

I am used to Chinese food, but it’s okay to eat Western food occasionally. I miss the taste of my hometown. Overseas students and overseas Chinese buy sauces from their hometown in the Chinese supermarket. The supermarket has special discounts on the products at the door. Everyone knows the price of the vegetables they usually buy. , these advertisements are not consumerism.

There are also businessmen from Wenzhou in Chinatown. They pay in RMB. A pair of sneakers is worth 500 ¥. The shoes are placed in a beautifully decorated department store, marked with 3000 ¥, and 2400 ¥ with a 20% discount will still be bought.

Selling something worth 500 for 2400, normal people would not engage in this kind of loss-making business, but people who have been brainwashed will. Many sneakers are produced in China. When you open the package, you can see that it says made in China. The same thing is sold ten times as much to the producer. This is the harm brought by consumerism.

Most people cannot estimate the value and cost of a commodity. Psychologically, people need a reference when making judgments about something, just like a ship sinks its anchor into the bottom of the sea for positioning. The first information Or the first impression stimulates the brain the most. Those shoes that sell for 500 in London may be worth 300 in China.

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

In Chinese terms, it is long and short, and difficult and easy. When a single thing exists, it cannot be accurately positioned. It needs a reference for comparison. A ruler is a ruler. Only when two rulers with different lengths appear can there be a long ruler and a The difference between short feet, the pain point in the marketing method is to activate those desires that exist in the subconscious and have not been taken seriously. What is happiness? You are free to spend money to buy what you want, can you get happiness by squandering at will? Some people say yes, and another person ruthlessly reveals that he earned the clothes by illegal means, and his sense of happiness that he flaunts disappears.

The most tragic thing in the world is to get hope from the mouth of a liar. A person who has been brainwashed abnormally will not listen to people's advice, and he will call the person who reminded him a poor ghost.

It is reasonable to say that it is a lesson to be learned once and a pain to be remembered, but the vast majority of people do not change their nature. Historical experience proves that a life of extravagance and lust will perish the country, but there are still many people who still live by themselves.

He is living such a good life, why should he listen to nonsense? Give up comfort and thrift?

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, and difficult to go from extravagant to simple. Consumerism constantly excavates people's desires and makes people continue to spend money to buy.

When morality and beliefs still existed, they could still curb the desire of capitalists to maximize their interests. Now people's desires are expanding infinitely, and some people even utter the fallacy that consumerism is the development of productivity to a certain extent.

Many Chinese have listened to yet another rumor that private ownership is sacred and inviolable in Western capitalist societies. In fact, there are great differences among various Christian denominations on the topic of private ownership. In most cases, people avoid this problem by selectively ignoring it. .

In the Bible, God's approval of private property is based on the principle that theocracy is superior to human rights. Before the Black Death pandemic in the 14th century, having too much personal wealth was not respected, and some early clergy even raised the idea that private property came from greed.

Greed is an original sin. After the resurrection of Jesus, many believers donated money, and many big businessmen were donating. Another widow only donated 2 silver coins, but Jesus praised her. She donated more than everyone else, so in the Middle Ages Muggles Poverty and abstinence, it seems, became a virtue.

After the fourteenth century, the Holy See sometimes also believed in public ownership and regarded it as correct to eliminate private property. During the period when the Holy See suppressed Protestantism in the Middle Ages, the Holy See also completely ignored the personal ownership of rebels and their descendants.

Not every EU country pursues wealth and scientific progress like a Protestant country like Britain, and many still retain the ideas of the Middle Ages, the socialist deprivation of property rights and functions, and the socialist forced contribution system, part of the purpose In overcoming the misuse and abuse of property. Such abuse is possible whenever the use of property is not governed by ethical and religious beliefs.

According to the results of Martina's experiment on human nature, people will abuse everything without the stipulations of ethics and religious beliefs, and many evil deeds are created by collective unconscious behavior. In 1887 at the General Assembly of the Palace of Lumbers, the Episcopal Conference of Bishops from all over the world called on the pastors to study what and to what extent socialism is good and correct in the light of the teaching of Christ. .

In pre-Christian countries dominated by communist forces, the church generally no longer preaches the ethics of private property.

However, the wealth of the rich has been deprived, but the poor have not entered the Utopia.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in China, in order to prepare for the war against the Huns, Emperor Wu of the Han once called on businessmen from all over the country to donate money, but only one person actually donated money, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Sang Hongyang to carry out a calculation order to confiscate the assets of businessmen across the country. , for foreign military warfare.

The slogan Whoever offends me and strengthens the Han will be punished even if he is far away is very encouraging, but the Han Empire itself lost its national power during the Thirty Years War against Hungary. Not only did it consume all the social wealth accumulated by Emperor Wenjing, Domestic industry and commerce were also destroyed.

Tian Khan's evaluation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is: After 30 years of militarism, there is not much left.

The achievement of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is actually not as high as that of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, but the vast majority of Chinese people are very unfamiliar with Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Bing. Confucianism.

Confucianism has a lot to offer, but it's not worth promoting across the board, and Pomona would never bring it into the classroom anyway.

Other couples are enjoying themselves while shopping, but she is observing human beings. When will she be normal?

Doesn't Mr. Wen look a lot like Quirrell? Pomona said

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

I said, isn't Mr. Wen very similar to Quirrell? She said through gritted teeth, They are equally good at flattering.

No, they're not the same. Severus smiled evilly, and it was the most evil kind. You know what we were talking about?

I wasn't paying attention.

Compared to persuasion, he believes that warnings and threats are more convincing. On the Lantern Festival, they will set off a lot of 'firecrackers' so that no gunfire will be heard.

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

He's not belligerent, he's just doing the right thing. No matter how rich the Chinese are, they don't just want to grab it. Choosing the wrong enemy is more deadly than choosing the wrong friend. If the werewolf really attacked Chinatown, it would save us. thing.

And what if they don't attack?

Severus sneered, The Chinese seem easy to bully, but I think the werewolves will regret it very much.

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

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

A girl who is as smart and revealing as Hermione would be excellent, but men, even boys, don't like girls who are smarter than themselves. Hermione was isolated in the first grade, and Severus didn't like it very much. She, he just liked her a little more than the dream duo of Ron and Harry.

So Pomona smirked after hearing what Severus said.

You're really amazing, my dear. She looked up at him, as if looking up to some great man. Isn't that called borrowing a knife to kill someone?

No, it's called uniting all forces that can be united. Severus nodded her nose and said in a good mood, Let's go, let's go to the supermarket.

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