Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 565: The contradictory sides of President Pei

Views:

The audience burst into applause.

Tang Yishu bowed a little embarrassedly and stepped down quickly.

It's just that when I walked to the backstage, I accidentally tripped on the wire on the ground. Fortunately, I had prepared in advance and grabbed the curtain next to it.

The students in the audience did not see this scene, and while applauding, they were immersed in the content of the previous speech.

"It makes a lot of sense. The most precious wealth is not money, but attention?"

"Encouraging us to use this money to better ourselves and better use our attention is indeed better than simply encouraging frugality, saving, or 'buying what you love'!"

"It's not just luck that Mr. Pei can be so successful!"

"Has anyone recorded it?"

"I recorded it, I went back and compiled it into a text and sent it to the school's forum, and then I will understand it again!"

The students expected that this lecture, like many previous lectures on wealth, would focus on "how to use money".

This is indeed what most people think of when they talk about "wealth".

However, President Pei's letter provides a new perspective, that is, how to use your attention, because in fact, people are using their attention to create wealth.

The scarier thing than squandering money is squandering your attention, because squandering money only costs you money on hand, and squandering attention damages your ability to create value.

This speech is very short, without tirade, without blunt preaching, but provides a whole new perspective that many people may not notice, so it is more easily accepted by ordinary people.

Tenda Group Human Resources Department.

Wu Bin and Cui Geng are sorting out the latest manuscripts.

The two people have a clear division of labor. Wu Bin is responsible for collecting materials and identifying interviewees, while Cui Geng is responsible for converting the recording into text and sorting it out systematically.

These materials will become materials to interpret the spirit of Tengda, and can also be used as records of President Pei's way of doing things.

"Recently, Mr. Pei's speech seems to be very popular in the on-campus forum of Handong University. Are you considering adding it to the material?" Cui Geng asked.

Wu Bin thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Don't worry."

"The influence of this manuscript is currently only among the students of Handong University. Strictly speaking, this manuscript has only theory and no specific examples, and its persuasiveness will be much worse."

"The most important point is that this manuscript is not necessarily written by President Pei."

"Although Mr. Pei wants to write this kind of manuscript, he must be able to catch it, but Mr. Pei is too busy. This manuscript may be done by Assistant Xin."

Cui Geng thought for a while: "However, even if Assistant Xin does it for him, it must be President Pei's idea, which is almost the same."

Wu Bin thought for a while: "Well... that's right. In short, this factor can be taken into account, but it must be carefully screened. After all, what we are going to write is for the spirit of Tenda, and we must be well-founded."

The progress of the two people is not fast, it can even be said that it is very slow.

Because this time, I will use some specific examples to interpret President Pei's thoughts and Tengda's spirit. Some ambiguous interpretations must be avoided, and all content must be well documented.

For example, the evaluation of Mr. Li and others can be used as a kind of evidence.

Some specific examples that President Pei has done can also be used as a kind of evidence.

The combination of these two credentials will be more authentic and credible.

But if it is just a speech, it is not suitable for this booklet until suitable supporting evidence is found.

"time to go."

Wu Bin looked at his watch. They had an interview with Liang Qingfan today, and it was almost time to leave.

Wu Bin also carefully selected the candidates for the interview.

Mr. Li of Fuhui Capital can be regarded as the perspective of Mr. Pei's business competitors and partners, while Liang Qingfan can be regarded as the perspective of the elites in other fields who have just cooperated with Mr. Pei.

Among all the heads of departments, Liang Qingfan has the shortest time with President Pei. This first impression may be able to get some inspiration.

Half an hour later, Wu Bin and Cui Geng came to Building 9 of Binhu Community.

The two buildings here are under intense construction. From the outside, the buildings that have been unoccupied for several years look very dilapidated. The construction team is working intensively. From time to time, there are noises such as electric drills drilling holes and smashing walls.

After waiting downstairs for two minutes, Liang Qingfan, wearing a helmet, came downstairs.

After handing over the safety helmet to a worker at the scene, Liang Qingfan smiled and said to Wu Bin and Cui Geng: "The construction site is too messy, let's go to the nearby park."

The three came to the park's artificial lake and sat down on a bench.

Wu Bin said: "Mr. Liang, we are here today mainly to interview your impression of President Pei."

Wu Bin had already contacted Liang Qingfan on the phone before, so the two of them were already prepared for what they were going to talk about today.

Liang Qingfan looked at the shimmering lake water and said with emotion: "To be honest, I still can't understand President Pei so far."

Wu Bin smiled and said, "It's okay, it's normal."

"If President Pei can be seen so easily, then he is not President Pei."

"We are looking for different interviewees to collect as many impressions of President Pei as possible from different groups of people, and to synthesize all these impressions to obtain a complete and comprehensive image."

"We have interviewed Mr. Pei's business competitors and partners before, and it's very rewarding."

"For us, because we are internal employees and have worked under President Pei for a long time, we can only see President Pei's side."

"You have just come to Tenda Group, and you have not been with Pei for a long time. Your first impression will definitely inspire us."

Liang Qingfan nodded: "Okay, then I'll talk briefly."

"What I can confirm at the moment is that some of Mr. Pei's concepts are highly compatible with me, or with some excellent designers. In other words, Pei is always a person who pursues the ultimate."

"This was already reflected in the renovation of the sloth apartment."

Liang Qingfan briefly described the decoration and design of several sloth apartments so far, especially focusing on Mr. Pei's pursuit of "extreme simplicity" and decisively abandoning many practical and residential attributes in order to achieve the ultimate effect. Behavior.

"It's the same with these houses now."

"Mr. Pei's thinking is completely opposite to that of ordinary people. When ordinary people choose a house, they will pay more attention to the location and value-added properties of the house, and when it comes to decoration, they often save money. After all, this is for rent, not for themselves."

"But Mr. Pei is just the opposite. He doesn't seem to care about the location and value-added properties of the house. Instead, the money spent on decoration almost accounts for nearly half of the value of the house itself."

"I think this fully shows that Mr. Pei's pursuit of artistry is the ultimate and endless."

"President Pei himself is very fond of this minimalist style, so he substituted his personal preference into the sloth apartment project."

"Although this is very likely to lead to failure, Mr. Pei obviously does not intend to compromise, but insists on his requirements for the ultimate art..."

Hearing this, Wu Bin frowned slightly.

Liang Qingfan noticed this keenly, and did not continue to speak, but waited for Wu Bin's response.

Wu Bin pondered for a long time, and said, "But... As a result, there is a contradiction with the description of President Li."

"According to Mr. Li, Pei is always a calm, even cold person. This calmness allows Mr. Pei to think about problems in an absolutely objective and rational way and make correct decisions under any circumstances."

"That is to say, Mr. Pei's choice of this extreme simplicity should be for commercial considerations. He must think that this approach can achieve greater success."

"Moreover, Mr. Li's conclusion is supported by many cases, which should be very credible."

Liang Qingfan was silent for a moment: "I think it is almost impossible for the sloth apartment model to achieve 'greater success'. At most, it is just a small and beautiful project that earns word of mouth."

Wu Bin was lost in thought.

Both sides seem to make sense.

Seeing that the interview was deadlocked, Cui Geng said: "Maybe... These two impressions of President Pei do not conflict? Maybe these two points are an aspect of President Pei, but they are perfect where we can't see it. merged together?"

"Just like President Pei can always turn corruption into magic, and make many seemingly impossible projects explode overnight."

Wu Bin nodded: "Well... that makes sense!"

"These two contradictory views seem to be well studied..."

Friday, July 1.

The Horror Hostel project is officially completed!

Pei Qian was standing in the old industrial area, oh no, it should be called the entrance of the Fright Hostel now, and his mood was very complicated.

When he came before, the entire project was still under construction, with scaffolding and various building materials everywhere.

But now, the Horror Hostel and the surrounding supporting facilities have been completed, and it has initially become a state that can receive tourists!

Although Pei Qian was mentally prepared, he still suffered a great impact in terms of vision.

So much has changed in just a few months!

This is probably the shock of the "infrastructure maniac".

Of course, Pei Qian would have this idea, mainly because of the disruption by President Li and others, which completely disrupted his original deployment.

Because Pei Qian's original idea was to build a haunted house in a corner of a barren and dilapidated old industrial area and lose money.

But Mr. Li and other investors built supporting facilities around the haunted house, and also renovated the surrounding ground by the way. This situation changed instantly.

Pei Qian also felt hopeless.

It looks so reliable, can it still lose money

I've been busy for two cycles, but don't miss it at the end...

Pei Qian sighed silently and walked in.
