New York Mayor Bloomberg &Nbsp; Two Pairs Of Leather Shoes For 10 Years.

The 68 year old mayor of New York Bloomberg With more than 18 billion dollars, Forbes ranks 23 in the world's richest list. The problem is that Bloomberg has been living a "stingy" life for ten years. Working leather shoes Only two pairs have been dressed for 10 years.

For the Chinese people, three years of sewing and sewing for the past three years in the past three years is only a poor man's helplessness. The problem is that Bloomberg is so calm that he doesn't want to be mayor. He started wearing these two pairs of leather shoes before he became mayor in 2001. When he saw the first lady, he sat side by side with the first lady Michel. Although the shoes were old enough to make him feel embarrassed, he didn't change his shoes. If he did not become a rich man, the mentality and behavior of Chinese outbreaks, such as the burning of money by some self-employed individuals in Shanghai after reform and opening up, would never happen in America. We think that money is not a fool if we have money. This is not just a matter of personal frugality or waste.

German sociologist max weber The internal causality between Protestant Ethics and capitalist spirit has been analyzed: Puritans do not object to the rational acquisition of wealth, but only against irrational use of property. Generally speaking, people can get rich according to the rules of the game, but they should be used rationally after getting rich. What is rational use? That is, the money earned is used for reinvestment or charity, not for extravagance and waste. This belief is accompanied by Gao Jie, a social ethos. It will not laugh at the poor, not laugh at prostitutes. Of course, it will not be poorer and more glorious. Wealth means virtue. Poverty means morality.

Of course, there are institutional reasons. In the two thousand years of feudal society in China, the private property system has always been a problem. Do not say that the body is life, sometimes in the hands of the power, at any time may be reimbursed. The poor have no sense of security, nor do the rich. Most of the poor sleep well at night. Dreams must be the beauty of getting rich and big meat. Most of the rich can't sleep at night, and dreams must be the nightmare of people losing money. Therefore, the poor have been on the same day day by day with the rich. Recently, the most sensational news about China and the United States is Gates, the richest man in the United States, who came to China to host a charity dinner with Buffett, the two richest man in the United States. It is said that some wolves in China have been frightened by the arrival of "wolves". They declined their invitation with various excuses. It is said that the two big guys may also write to the Chinese rich to comfort their frightened hearts. It seems that the rich in the world have not yet come to a road.

Conversely, Bloomberg can afford it. He is not a show. Although there are comments that he is good at political speculation, on the one hand is freedom of speech in the United States, and on the one hand is the rules of political game in the United States. Bloomberg is first a Democratic Party, then a Republican Party. Bloomberg has only two pairs of old shoes, and the government will not set him up as a moral pacesetter and exemplary official, such as a good mayor of the people. He will learn from Bloomberg's example to learn from Bloomberg.

Recently, the Kunming Municipality jointly issued the ten prohibition on "public officers going abroad (exit) and discipline regulations for studying and inspecting provinces", which stipulates that those who study abroad on the basis of public affairs abroad should submit to the Municipal Foreign Experts Bureau or municipal discipline inspection commission, the municipal Party Committee Organization Department and overseas Chinese Affairs Office within 20 days of returning to China to submit a full and informative report of not less than 3000 words. Chinese officials are not bad money. They often go abroad for investigation. If they do not start with the two pairs of old shoes of the mayor of New York, they will write an inspection report or feel something.
