On November 1, local time, the three major stock indexes of US stock collectively hit record highs. The stock price of Tesla Inc. in the United States rose by more than 8%. The founder of its founder, Elon Musk, has reached an astonishing US$335.1 billion, equivalent to three times the wealth of Buffett , once again consolidating its position as the richest man in the world.
Immediately afterwards, the world's richest man released a Chinese poem on a global social platform, originating from the " Seven-step Poetry " by the Wei and Jin poet Cao Zhi in the Three Kingdoms period. It attracted a lot of fans for a while, and the topic also successfully became a hot search on social platforms. So, a funny scene appeared.
On social platforms, many fans scrambled to guess the profound meaning of Musk's posting of this poem, and guessed that the tweet was in response to the incident of United Nations officials' publicly calling for him to donate. Just earlier, David Beasley, Director General of the United Nations World Food Program (WFP), called on global wealthy people to donate money to solve the problem of global hunger, and said, "As long as Musk donates 2% of his wealth, he can solve the global food crisis." In response to this remark, Musk once angrily retorted: "If World Food Program can accurately explain how more than 6 billion US dollars will solve the problem of global famine, I will immediately sell the stock of Tesla and then donate."
Whether Musk will donate, but netizens have paid for it!
"I just gave a huge sum of money. I like the author very much, express my feelings!" At present, many fans are crazily posting rewards for Musk on social platforms, saying, "I have given the richest people in the world, and I immediately feel like I am a big money."
Some netizens seriously played the homonym, guessing that Musk was a drunk man and was not in wine. Perhaps he was referring to two cryptocurrencies - Dogecoin and Shiba Inu Coin. According to coindesk, Shiba Inu coins rose 6% in 24 hours to the price of US$0.00007; Dogecoin fell 2.65% in 24 hours to the price of US$0.269007.
In order to enhance the credibility of this statement, netizens also thoughtfully attached a note: "Cook doge burns the dogfish, and Doge crys in the pot; bitcoin is the same root, so why not subtract each other?"
Coincidentally, just the day before Musk released this "Seven-Step Poem", " Romance of the Three Kingdoms " Cao Pi actor Yang Junyong died of illness. Therefore, netizens boldly speculated that Musk, as a loyal fan of the four classics, might be mourning Yang Junyong.
Of course, some people think that netizens are "eat salty radish and worry about it". Musk just wants to share a Chinese poem.
So the question is, as a vast majority of foreign netizens who have never been exposed to Chinese, what if they cannot understand the profound meaning of this ancient poem about 1,800 years ago? So, some enthusiastic netizens began to recommend themselves to help translate. Please see the following high-sounding answer:
Hey, the style seems to be wrong, please do it again. Please see the high-profile translation: "Use bean stalks to cook beans, and the beans cry in the pot and say, 'We are brothers growing on the same root, why do you make me suffer so much?'"
Unexpectedly, when netizens were still discussing what Musk intended on social platforms, Musk himself had already changed the battlefield and began to reap a new round of wealth.
At the 4th "National Unification and National Rejuvenation " seminar on October 29 with the theme of "Peaceful Development of Cross-Strait Relations in a New Journey", Liu Junchuan, deputy director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said, "After unification, Taiwan's fiscal revenue can be used as much as possible to improve people's livelihood."
As soon as this remark was made, someone immediately followed suit and began to plan "How to choose to buy a house in Taiwan, China after unification?" He even analyzed the real estate opportunities in Taipei, Kaohsiung , Taichung and other places with great interest.
As expected, wealth opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
"Genius Madman" Musk
When it comes to Musk, people can always think of the tags " Silicon Valley Madman" and "Technology Madman" posted on him. He started to learn programming by himself at the age of 10 and dropped out of Stanford University in 1995. In order to solve the problem of "what to eat", he took advantage of the Internet to found Zip2, which was the "Dianping" that appeared in China 10 years later. In 1998, in order to solve the problem of "online trading transactions", Musk founded PayPal, which was Alipay , which was born five years later in China.
But Musk's ambitions are far more than that, he also wants to "build his own Rockets"! He founded the space exploration technology company Space X. In 2012, the Space X Falcon 9 rocket was launched, successfully sending the "Dragon" spacecraft into orbit, becoming the world's first rocket to be launched by private enterprise . In November 2021, Space X will soon implement the launch plan of the manned "Dragon" spacecraft and the "Falcon 9" rocket Crew-3.
When wealth comes like a snowball, Musk keeps the world behind. At the moment of "making rockets", Musk has set his sights on "new energy" again, and he vows to create pure electric cars that do not require oil consumption. So, in 2004, Tesla was born and successfully transformed " electric car " from concept to reality. Today, Tesla has long become the world's largest automaker, and he has also been ranked as the world's richest man again and again.
"I want to change the world, and I hope to do my best to create a new world so that people can enjoy life. For this reason, I don't mind taking risks. I hope what I do will have a profound impact on people's lives. Either don't do it, do it historically." For Musk, he did it, and his innovative technology is enough to change the world. In the future, his legendary story will continue to be written.
Back to the point, it no longer matters what the deep meaning of the poem "Seven-Step Poem" published by Musk is. After all, the situation of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" creates heroes, and the "genius madman" heroes creates the situation.
