Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

All applause thundered.

Tang also bowed with some embarrassment and stepped down quickly.

I just accidentally tripped by the line on the ground when I walked to the back stage, so that I was ready in advance to grab the screen next to it, and I was shocked.

Students under the stage didn't see the scene, clapping and immersing themselves in the content of the previous speech.

“That makes sense. Is the most precious asset not money, but attention? ”

“Encouraging us to use this money to improve ourselves and make better use of our attention is indeed better than simply encouraging frugality, saving money, or ‘buying what we like'! ”

“It's not by luck that Pei always succeeds! ”

“Has anyone recorded it? ”

“I recorded it, went back to organize the text and sent it to the school forum to understand it again! ”

Students would have thought that this lecture, like many previous lectures on wealth, would focus on "how to use money”.

This is also what most people think of when they talk about “wealth”.

However, President Pei's letter provides a whole new perspective, which is to take advantage of one's own attention, because people are actually creating wealth with one's own attention.

What's scarier than wasting money is wasting your attention, because wasting money can only cost you the money at hand, and wasting your attention can damage your ability to create value.

The speech was brief, without a long story, without a hard sermon, but just provided an entirely new angle that many people might not notice, making it easier for ordinary people to accept.

Wednesday, 29 June.

Tenda Group Human Resources Department.

Wu Bin and Choi Geng are sorting out their most recent papers.

The division of labor between the two men was clear, Wu Bin was responsible for collecting materials and identifying interviewees, while Choi Geng was responsible for forming sound recordings into words and systematically organizing them.

These materials will be the material to interpret the spirit of Tenda, and can also serve as a record of Pei's general conduct of business.

“Recently, President Pei's speech seemed to be on fire at the University of Handong's on-campus forum, didn't he also consider adding to the material?” asked Choi Geng.

Wu Bin thought for a moment and shook his head: “Not in a hurry. ”

“The influence of this paper is currently only within the student community of Handong University, and technically, it is theoretical, without concrete examples, and would be far less convincing. ”

“Most importantly, this paper is not necessarily written by Bae. ”

“Although Bae must have caught it if he was going to write it, President Bae was too busy, and it was likely that he had Xin's assistant working on his behalf. ”

Choi Geng thought about it: "But even Xin's assistant, he must have expressed Bai's idea, similar. ”

Wu Bin thought about it: "Well... yes. In short, this factor can be taken into account, but it must be carefully screened. After all, what we are going to write is a betting on the spirit of Tenda, and it must be justified. ”

Progress was not fast, or even slow, for both of them.

Because this time we need to use some concrete examples to interpret Pei's general thinking and Tenda spirit, it is important to avoid some ambiguity in interpretation, and everything must be documented.

For example, General Li's assessment can be used as evidence.

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

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

But if it's just a speech, it's not a good idea to write about it until you find the right supporting evidence.

“Time to go. ”

Wu Bin looked at the watch and they scheduled an interview with Liang Qingfan today. It was almost time to leave.

Wu Bin was also carefully selected for the interview.

President Li of Fuhui Capital can be seen as the perspective of Pei's commercial competitors and partners, while Liang Qingfan can be seen as the perspective of the elite in other areas just cooperated with General Pei.

Of all department heads, Liang Qingfan has been with General Bai for the shortest time. This first impression may also give some inspiration.

……

Half an hour later, Wu Bin and Choi Geng arrived at Building 9 in Binhu District.

The two buildings here are under intense construction. From the outside, the buildings that have been uninhabited for several years appear to be very dilapidated. The construction team is working intensely, and from time to time there is noise such as drilling and breaking walls.

I waited two minutes downstairs and the beam sail with the helmet came down the stairs.

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

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

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

Wu Bin has already contacted Liang Qingfan on the phone before, so both of them are ready for today's conversation.

Liang Qingfan looked at the microwave sparkling lake water and said with emotion: “To be honest, so far, I don't understand President Pei at all. ”

Wu Bin smiled: “It's okay, it's normal. ”

“If Pei would always be so easily seen, then he would not be President Pei. ”

“We sought out different interviewees in order to gather as many impressions of Pei as possible from different people and to combine all these impressions to obtain a complete and comprehensive image. ”

“We've interviewed President Pei's commercial competitors and partners before, and it's been very rewarding. ”

“For us, because we are internal employees and have been working under General Pei for a long time, we can only see General Pei's side. ”

“You have just arrived at Tenda Group and have been working with Pei for a short time. Your first impression will certainly inspire us. ”

Liang Qingfan nodded his head: “Okay, let me just say this briefly. ”

“One thing I can be sure of right now is that some of General Pei's ideas, and I, or some good designers, are highly relevant. In other words, Pei is always a man who pursues the ultimate. ”

“This has been reflected in the renovation of the lazy apartment. ”

Leung Qingfan briefly describes the renovation design of several lazy apartments so far, especially highlighting Bae's decisive abandonment of many practical and residential properties in pursuit of the "ultimate breeze”.

“The same is true of the houses in existence. ”

“Pei's general thinking is the exact opposite of ordinary people. When ordinary people choose a house, they pay more attention to the location and value-added attributes of the house, and when it comes to renovation, they tend to save money. After all, this is intended to be rented, not for themselves. ”

“On the contrary, President Pei does not seem to value the location and value-added properties of the house. Instead, the money spent on decorations is almost half the value of the house itself. ”

“I think this fully demonstrates that President Pei's pursuit of artistry is ultimate and endless. ”

“Bae himself was very fond of this minimalist style, so he replaced his personal preferences with the slothful apartment project. ”

“Although this is likely to lead to failure, President Pei clearly does not intend to compromise, but insists on his demands for ultimate art...”

Upon hearing this, Wu Bin's eyebrows slightly wrinkled.

Liang Qingfan noticed this sharply and waited for Wu Bin's response instead of continuing to say it.

Wu Bin pondered for a long time and said: "But… in this way, there is a contradiction with President Li's description. ”

“According to President Li, Pei is always a calm, even ruthless person. This calm allows him to think and make the right decisions in an absolutely objective and rational way under any circumstances. ”

“In other words, President Pei's choice of such a minimalist style should be based on commercial considerations, which he necessarily believes can be more successful. ”

“Moreover, Mr. Li's conclusion is supported by many cases and should be credible. ”

Leung Qingfan silenced for a moment: “I think it is almost impossible to have ‘greater success' in the model of a lazy apartment, it is at most just a small and beautiful, reputable project. ”

Wu Bin fell into contemplation.

Both sides seem to make sense.

Looking at the impasse in the interview, Choi Geng said: "Perhaps… there is no conflict between these two perceptions of Bae? Perhaps both of these points are one aspect of General Bae, but where we can't see them, they merge perfectly together? ”

“Just as President Pei is always able to rot into something magical and make many seemingly unsuccessful projects explode overnight. ”

Wu Bin nodded: “Well... that makes sense! ”

“These two contradictory points of view seem to be well studied…”

Friday, 1 July.

The Palpitation Hostel project is officially completed!

Pei Qian stood in the old industrial district, oh no, now should be called the entrance to the Palpitation Hostel, the mood is complicated.

Before he came, the whole project was still under intense construction. Scaffolding and all kinds of building materials were everywhere. It was a hot and hot construction site, and there was not much change.

But now that the Palpitations Hostel and surrounding amenities have been completed back and forth, they are in a primitive position to accommodate visitors!

Even though Pei Qian is prepared, he has been greatly impacted visually.

In just a few months, the change can be so big!

This is probably the shock of the Infrastructure Maniac.

Of course, Pei Qian will have this idea, mainly because of the mix-up of General Li and others, which completely disrupted his original deployment.

Because Pei Qian's original idea was just a loss of money to build an unsolicited haunted house in some corner of a dilapidated old industrial zone.

But President Li and other investors built ancillary facilities around the haunted house and renovated the surrounding ground as well, which was not the case instantly.

Pei Qian also feels like he has no bottom.

Looks so reliable, can it still lose money?

I've been busy for two cycles. Don't be empty at the end of the day...

Pei sighed silently and walked in.
