Li Ka-shing's driver

 Li Ka-shing's driver revealed that he has driven a car for 30 years and has a deposit of 20 million yuan, so he can retire well.

Back then, when the driver who had driven Li Ka-shing's car for 30 years resigned, Li Ka-shing took out a cheque of 2 million and said to him, "You can take this money to retire well." Unexpectedly, the driver declined: "No need. Now, I have followed you for so many years, and I have saved 10 to 20 million yuan, which is still enough for my retirement."

Li Ka-shing asked in surprise: "You only earn a few thousand yuan a month, how can you save so much money?" The

driver Said: "When I was driving, you called in the back and said that you bought a piece of land, and I would also buy a little; which stock you said you would buy, I would also buy a little, accumulate a little bit, and now I also have one. 20 million."

Of course, many people do not believe this story is true or false, mainly for the following three reasons:

Li Ka-shing can't talk about such commercial secrets in the car, let alone let a driver hear it;

even if the driver listens When it comes to business secrets, he doesn't have much money to invest. If there is, he will not be a driver unless he is a local tyrant;

The driver is a person that the boss trusts very much. It is impossible to only give him a pension of 2 million. It seems that 2 million is very small...

The truth of this story will not be discussed for the time being, but the rich are good to the people around them, and Not an exception.

He Chaoqiong spent a lot of time with her nanny, Sister Jing, since she was a child. When Sister Jing got old and retired, He Chaoqiong directly gave her a villa for her retirement, and specially hired a servant to take care of Sister Jing.

Moreover, He Chaoqiong often visits Sister Jing and takes her out to play. It can be said that she treats her like a family member. After all, Sister Jing has worked in He Chaoqiong's house all her life and has long been like a family.

Sometimes it's more important than the other person.

Do you think that if Li Ka-shing really gave the driver pension money, would it be less than 2 million?

Drove for Li Ka-shing for 30 years, but only got 2 million pensions after retirement? Is it because of being stingy?

 Driver is a very humble occupation, but there is still a big gap between drivers and drivers. Because it depends on who you drive for. For example, driving with Li Ka-shing is fundamentally different from being a delivery driver. For big leaders and big bosses, the selection of drivers is very strict, and the driver is usually one of their confidants.

An inspiring story has become very popular over the past few years, giving people more confidence in their work. When Li Ka-shing's 30-year-long car driver resigned, Li Ka-shing offered him a pension of 2 million yuan, but the driver refused. Because the driver earned 10-20 million during the 30 years with Li Ka-shing.

 The moral of the story is that the quality of the work we do does not determine our success. The important thing is that as long as we work hard in our daily work, we can achieve great success, because this happened to the richest man. Some people think that Li Ka-shing is very stingy. His personal driver has been driving for Li Ka-shing for 30 years, so he should have deep feelings, but Li Ka-shing is worth hundreds of billions but only gave the driver 2 millions dollars. Is Li Ka-shing really stingy?

Li Ka-shing loved charity all his life. In fact, Li Ka-shing started his charitable foundation as early as the 1980s, and has donated more than 30 billion US dollars, or more than 200 billion yuan, so far. Li Ka-shing's donation alone is equivalent to Jack Ma's current wealth, so Li Ka-shing's stinginess is not convincing. Back to the 2 million driver pension. Driving is not a demanding job, nor has he helped Li Ka-shing profit from it. On the other hand, think about the bonuses our bosses would give us if we did our day jobs for 30 years. Will there be 300,000? Hard to say. Li Ka-shing's driver's pension of more than 2 million yuan has been based on humanitarian considerations. From an intuitive point of view, it is difficult for drivers to get such a high pension, so it is not that Li Ka-shing is stingy.

Miserliness and frugality are two different things. Miserliness is a form of selfishness. On September 16, the Li Ka Shing Foundation announced a donation of US$170 million to Hong Kong universities to help enhance Hong Kong's actual competitiveness. Mr. Li Ka-shing, chairman of the Li Ka-shing Foundation, wrote to the four universities in Su Dongpo's "Ode to the Red Cliff", encouraging them to seek survival and a foothold in the future through innovation in a changing world, so as to make education out of confusion. The four universities are the Hong Kong Medical University, the University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the Education University of Hong Kong.

Li Ka-shing donated a total of 170 million U.S. dollars to fund some scientific and technological projects, including 100 million U.S. dollars to support the establishment of the Cryo-electron Microscopy Research Center of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong. This will lead to breakthroughs in the design and production of R&D drugs. 35 million US dollars to help the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong to establish a world-class translational genomics platform and the most advanced analytical mass spectrometry system; 30 million US dollars to support the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to conduct comprehensive biology research and related advanced projects; 5 million US dollars to support the Education University of Hong Kong to introduce the first terminal AI teaching materials to improve the quality of teaching materials in Hong Kong. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that Li Ka-shing has donated to four local universities at the same time. When the letter was mailed, the foundation had donated all donations to the relevant universities.

Frugality is a virtue, and while Li Ka-shing's wealth may be unparalleled, he still enjoys a simple material life. The calligraphy hanging in his office reads "enjoy inferior happiness", but he deserves first-class happiness even more. Li Ka-shing admits that by the time he is 30, his wealth will be enough to enrich his family. Why did he work hard until he was 90 years old before announcing his retirement? Greedy and cherishing money are two completely different concepts.

Once when he got out of the hotel car to run some errands, he accidentally dropped a coin. As soon as he rolled under the car, he bent down to pick it up immediately. Then the hotel attendant saw it and picked up Mr. Li Ka-shing’s coin. When the waiter was about to hand him the coin, Li Ka-shing handed him another 100 Hong Kong dollars to express his gratitude. Later, someone asked Li Ka-shing, "It's just a dollar lost, which is nothing at all. Why do you want to pick it up? After picking it up, you will spend more." Li Ka-shing replied: "If you don't pick it up, it will probably fall into the sewer with the wheels of the car or the footsteps of pedestrians. The coin is wasted, and the metal from which the coin is made is wasted. Money can be used, but it cannot be wasted. If you give it to others, others can continue to play its value." 

People who are greedy for money are mercenaries. These people work hard to earn money in order to enjoy the luxuries of life. When he is rich, he only wants to change what kind of car, what kind of mansion to live in, what kind of food to eat, and how to get along with young and beautiful women. In addition, people who love money spend money for the sake of squandering, and do not value money. If money is cherished like Li Ka-shing, then wealth is to businessmen what works are to artists. This is what they have been all their lives. Money-hungry people see money as their life. If you value it, it will value you. Profligacy is a manifestation of spreading money, and such people will not be respected. At the age of 90, Li Ka-shing continues to work hard, pursuing personal achievement, family honor and contribution to society, rather than material comfort.

Even though he is the richest man in Asia with hundreds of billions of dollars in wealth, Li Ka-shing still maintains the habit of frugality. For example, a suit can be worn for several years. His son Li Zekai also revealed that dinner at home is usually only tofu and vegetables. Miserly and thrifty, greedy and cherishing. Li Ka-shing's experience tells us that there is an essential difference. So if you have money, will you squander it or cherish it?
