Tuesday, September 13.
Zhang Lixian took the video of Caijing Channel and came to the unique building in the city's dawn.
And Li Shi was already waiting on the 11th floor of the building.
"Mr. Li, hello, hello!"
Zhang Lixian and Li Shi shook hands cordially, while Li Shi invited Zhang Lixian and the videographer in.
Entering the empty living room, Zhang Lixian was stunned.
This... This is the new house you just moved into
This is like a family with four walls, just like the one who was robbed just now, how can you live here
Zhang Lixian was very confused.
When I heard that Mr. Li set the interview place in the city's Shuguang community, she thought it was Mr. Li's residence. After all, it was in the community, so obviously it could not be the office.
But when she came here, Zhang Lixian was puzzled again.
How does this look like a place to live
No smoke at all.
As far as she knew, Mr. Li was married long ago, and his son was in junior high school, but there was no trace of his wife and son living in this place.
In other words, Li Shi did not live here as his home, but just rented a sloth apartment
Why
Is there anything special about this place
Before Zhang Lixian started the interview, she naturally had many questions.
Li Shi saw her doubts and smiled: "I know what you want to ask, don't worry, let's talk slowly."
There is a small coffee table and two chairs for drinking tea near the balcony, which can be used for interviews. Originally, the sunlight through the floor-to-ceiling windows caused some backlighting of the lens. Li Shi adjusted the smart glass and solved it.
This time is not a very formal news interview, but is closer to an interview column. The program is relatively long, and the content of the two people's chat is relatively casual.
As Zhang Lixian recalled the question she was about to ask, she couldn't help but cast her gaze at the boxy black box on the coffee table.
What is this
There is no way not to attract attention. The whole room is so big and there are basically no other furnishings. This black box is too eye-catching on the coffee table.
Li Shi smiled: "This thing, I will explain later."
Zhang Lixian nodded and decided to follow the normal procedure for the interview first. Anyway, if you are not satisfied with the results of the interview, you can retake it.
After all the preliminary preparations are in place, the interview officially begins.
Zhang Lixian had a lot of questions, such as why Mr. Li arranged the interview here, what the furnishings in this room are about, what the black box is for, etc., but she still started asking questions according to the questions she prepared before.
"Mr. Li, you can be said to be a veteran of the venture capital industry in Jingzhou and even Handong, and a witness to many wealth myths. The founding of Fuhui Capital has directly or indirectly helped many local industries in Jingzhou."
"You also responded to the call recently and invested a lot of money in the old industrial area, that is, the Horror Hostel."
"However, originally our Jingzhou companies and investors were afraid to avoid this place. What is the reason for you to decide to invest here?"
Li Shi fell into memory: "Actually, I was not optimistic about this place at first. But one day, President Pei asked me, which part of Jingzhou is the most unwilling project for investors?"
"I thought about it and said, it should be the old industrial area."
"Because the old industrial area was still a wasteland at that time, there were only some abandoned factories, and it was far away on the outskirts of the city, and the location was very remote."
"I thought Mr. Pei was just joking, but Mr. Pei didn't say anything and just voted!"
"So, I voted too."
Zhang Lixian was stunned.
So... sloppy
President Pei voted, so you also voted? What if President Pei fails to invest
"Then... why do you trust President Pei so much?" Zhang Lixian asked.
Li Shi smiled: "If you investigate the investment of President Pei's Dream Venture Capital in detail, you will find that his investment is very different from other people's investment!"
"There are only two outcomes for other people's investments, loss or gain."
"And Mr. Pei's investment has only two results, earn it now or earn it later!"
"To say that the most successful investment of Dream Realization Ventures was to buy shares in Zhitou Company, it was really timed for every step, and the income directly increased by more than 20 times!"
"Investment requires not only courage, but also vision."
"A good investor must first be able to see opportunities, secondly know how to seize opportunities, and finally dare to seize opportunities!"
"And Mr. Pei obviously achieved the ultimate in every link to invest in so many successful projects."
"Of course, before investing, President Pei also repeatedly reminded me that this project would have great risks. I thought about it, if there is risk, there is risk. The renovation of the old industrial area is imperative, if it really loses , that is equivalent to making a contribution to Jingzhou."
"As a native of Jingzhou, I was lucky enough to get some wealth, which is what I should give back to the society."
Zhang Lixian nodded: "Mr. Li's mind is really admirable. I found that you seem to have a lot of trust in President Pei? Does your trust come from President Pei's brilliant investment performance, or from other places. ?"
Li Shi was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, at the beginning, it was just because of President Pei's brilliant investment performance. At that time, I didn't have a deep understanding of why President Pei and Yuanmeng Ventures had achieved so much success."
"But recently, I have become more and more aware of the root of all this. I think this experience can be shared not only with investors, but also with all young people who are aspiring to make a career."
"The fundamental reason why President Pei can achieve such results lies in his way of thinking!"
Zhang Lixian's eyes lit up: "Can you tell me in detail?"
Li Shi smiled slightly: "This is Sloth Apartment, the latest rental brand launched by Tengda. But many people don't know that President Pei also lives here, on the top floor of this building. All the furnishings in this room are It's exactly the same as President Pei's room!"
Zhang Lixian was stunned.
She really didn't expect this!
Everyone knows where Tengda's office is and where Mr. Pei's office is, but few people know about Mr. Pei's true face and where Mr. Pei lives.
"President Pei's residence is also the same as here? It's too simple, isn't it? How do you live?" Zhang Lixian wondered.
Li Shi smiled: "I thought so too at first."
"I was also surprised when I found out that President Pei lives here, because the furnishings here are really simple, so simple that it will have a certain impact on normal life."
"People who live here can easily feel that it is like a temple or a monastery, because there is no life at all."
"So, I also have doubts."
"With Mr. Pei's worth, it's easy to buy a luxury villa. Why live in such a place?"
"So, with doubts, I also lived here for more than half a month. Finally, I understood the deep meaning of President Pei."
Li Shi deliberately sold off, and after a pause, he said, "This is a place to concentrate and think. And Mr. Pei lives here because he wants to concentrate and think for a long time!"
"This is not so much the residence of President Pei, but rather the practice room and meditation room of President Pei!"
"President Pei's success is not an accident, but the result of diligent thinking day after day."
"He compresses his material enjoyment to a very low level, keeps only the minimum necessities in the entire room, and has been living such a minimalist life, just to prevent those messy things from interfering with his thinking!"
"Without these clutter, you can think more focused. Living in this environment for a long time can develop this kind of focused, long-term thinking."
"There is no investment genius in this world, Mr. Pei just uses all his time and thinks efficiently!"
"So, I'm also now trying to learn this 'simplification' way of thinking."
"I will often come here and think quietly by myself. I have found a lot of problems that I couldn't figure out before, but I can figure it out soon after I come here, because here, I can focus on my mind, and I won't have any problems. Things disturb me."
A stunned expression appeared on Zhang Lixian's face.
I see!
She was also puzzled before. Pei was always the boss of Tengda Group. He could earn 500 million yuan with one investment. What kind of house would he want to buy that he couldn't afford
Although this house is not small, it still can't match the worth of President Pei.
Moreover, Mr. Pei arranged his house so simply, with almost nothing extra, reminiscent of ascetic monks and seekers.
Is this reasonable
Let me ask, who doesn't like convenience, and who doesn't like enjoyment
President Pei's Tenda Group is already a big business. It stands to reason that it is a normal choice to enjoy life.
But President Pei just didn't do that.
Obviously, President Pei has some very special purposes.
This puzzle was solved by Mr. Li, who is also an investor.
Obviously, President Pei's success was not accidental, but the result of careful consideration.
And the reason why President Pei can think deeper and farther than ordinary people is because he used this extremely strict attitude to create such a space for himself that he can get rid of some distracting thoughts and concentrate on thinking!
When other people's wives and children are at home, Mr. Pei is still here seriously thinking about the future development direction of Tengda Group. Over time, isn't it a world of difference!
Zhang Lixian suddenly thought of a question and looked at the black box on the coffee table: "Then, what does this black box do?"
Li Shi didn't speak, but gave Zhang Lixian a demonstration.
Quickly press a few metal sticks, and the machine in the box automatically restores it in turn.
Zhang Lixian was at a loss: "This..."
"It is a delicate handicraft," Li Shi explained.
"However, it has some philosophical implications in it that help us think better."
"There is an identical one in Mr. Pei's room. It took me a lot of effort to find the official website of this thing, but I didn't expect that it was also made by Yuanmeng Ventures!"
"That is to say, most of this thing is a special customized invention of President Pei."
"Its name is called a fully automatic bar lifter."
Zhang Lixian is still confused: "The automatic bar lifter? How can it have a philosophical meaning? How can it help us think better?"
Li Shi turned the automatic bar lifter to Zhang Lixian and asked her to press it again.
Zhang Lixian pressed it for a minute, then asked in confusion, "What's the point of this...? It's a complete waste of time?"
Li Shi smiled slightly: "It doesn't make sense."
"No meaning is its greatest meaning."
"It contains the traditional philosophical thought of Taoism: useless use."
"Being able to realize that an action is meaningless is a meaning in itself."
"This thing is called a fully automatic bar raising machine, and it simulates the whole process of raising bars with others online."
"Now there are more and more gangsters on the Internet, and there are more and more meaningless arguments, especially public figures, it is really easy to fall into this meaningless argument."
"We are always used to arguing with people, but most of the time, a lot of people are not arguing about right or wrong, they are arguing."
"Everyone doesn't really want to understand what the other party really means, and they don't reflect on whether they are wrong. Instead, they do everything possible to dig holes in the other party's language and try to refute the other party."
"So, we'll find that it's never possible to reach a consensus by arguing with others online."
"Arguing with these people is like lifting the bar with this fully automatic bar lifter. No matter how hard you try, it will lift the bar back and you're just wasting your time."
"As a thinker, it's easier to get caught up in this pointless argument. Because the more you think, the more you get angry at the stupidity of some people; the more you think, the easier it is to get caught up in your own stupidity and not self-awareness.”
"Whether it is the former or the latter, it is very dangerous. Thinking brings us wisdom, but sometimes it also brings us paranoia and arrogance."
"And this machine is reminding you that it's pointless, don't waste your time, and don't argue with online bullies."
"You just need to think hard and do your own thing well."
"So, whenever I'm upset, I press it. I watch it keep pushing the bar against me, recovering all my efforts, and finally I realize, I'm wasting my time, I'm doing nothing ."
"So, my negative emotions have been vented, and I can calm down and continue to think."
"Why didn't Mr. Pei leave any crafts and decorations in the room, but only it?"
"Because it's not just a piece of craft or artwork, it's also a 'mind-zero machine' that matches the layout of the entire room, allowing us to better settle down and think."
"In my opinion, it is the soul of this 'mind space'!"
