Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Tuesday, 13 September.

Zhang Lixian took the video of the financial channel to the unique building at the dawn of the city.

And Li Shi is already waiting on the 11th floor of the building.

“Mr. Lee, hello! ”

Zhang Lixian and Li Shi kindly shake hands, Li Shi invited Zhang Lixian and the video recorder in.

Entering the empty living room, Zhang Lixian stunned.

This... this is the new house that just moved in?

It's like being robbed. How can you live here?

Zhang Lixian was very confused.

Earlier, when she heard that President Li had set the place for the interview in the urban Aurora neighborhood, she thought it was President Li's residence. After all, it was in the neighborhood, and obviously it could not be an office location.

But when he came here, Zhang Lixian doubted again.

What kind of place is this?

There was no half a cigarette gas.

As far as she knows, President Li was married a long time ago, and his son went to junior high school, but there was no sign of his wife and son living in this place.

So Li Shi doesn't live here as a family, he just rents a lazy apartment?

Why is that?

Is there anything special about this place?

Before Zhang Lixian started the interview, he naturally had a lot of questions.

Li Shi saw her confusion and smiled: “I know what you want to ask. Don't worry, we'll talk slowly. ”

Close to the balcony is a small coffee table for tea and two chairs for interviews. The sunlight coming through the floor-to-ceiling window gave the lens some backlight, and Li Shi adjusted the smart glass and solved it.

This was not a very formal press interview, but closer to an interview, longer programming and relatively casual conversations between the two.

Zhang Lixian remembered the question he was going to ask and couldn't stop looking at the black box on the coffee table in all four directions.

What the hell is this?

I can't help but notice that the whole room is so big that there is basically no other setting. This black box is too eye-catching on the coffee table.

Li Shi smiled: “This thing, I'll explain later. ”

Zhang Lixian nodded and decided to follow the normal procedure for the interview first. Anyway, if you are not satisfied with the interview results, you can re-shoot.

The interview officially begins when everything is ready in the early stages.

Zhang Lixian has a lot of questions, such as why President Li should arrange an interview here, what's going on in this room, what the black box does, etc., but still start asking questions as previously prepared.

“President Li, you can say that you are a senior person in the entrepreneurial investment 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 have also recently responded to the call to invest a lot of money in the old industrial area, the Palpitations Hostel. ”

“But for what reason did you decide to invest in a place that was too scary for our businesses and investors in Beijing? ”

Li Shi fell into memory: “Actually, I didn't like this place either. But one day, President Bae asked me, which part of Jingzhou is the project that people don't want to touch the most? ”

“I thought about it, and I think it's the old industrial zone. ”

“Because the old industrial zone was still a wasteland, only some abandoned factories, far from the city and very remote. ”

“I thought President Bae was just kidding, but instead of saying anything, he voted directly! ”

“So I voted too. ”

Zhang Lixian stunned.

So... hasty?

President Bae voted, so you voted with him? What if Pei always fails to invest?

“So... why do you trust President Bae so much?” Lixian Zhang asked.

Li Shi smiled: “If you investigate the investment of General Bae Yuanmeng Venture Capital, you will find that there is a difference between his investment and that of others! ”

“There are only two kinds of outcomes, losses or earnings from other people's investments. ”

“And P&G's investment is only two results, now or in the future! ”

“One of the most successful investments in Yunmeng Venture Capital, or buying shares in a leading company, is really just about every step of the way, and the profits have doubled more than twenty times directly! ”

“Investing requires not only courage, but also vision. ”

“A good investor must first see the opportunity, secondly know how to seize it, and finally dare to seize it! ”

“And President Pei obviously did the ultimate in every step to invest in so many successful projects. ”

“Of course, before investing, President Pei had repeatedly reminded me that there would be a lot of risks in this project. I thought, if there were risks, there would be risks. The transformation of the old industrial zone would be necessary, and if it did, it would be equivalent to contributing to Jingzhou. ”

“As a native of Kyushu, I was fortunate enough to gain some wealth and give it back to society as it should. ”

Zhang Lixian nodded his head: “President Li's chest is really admirable. I see you seem to have a lot of faith in Mr. Bae? Does this trust come from President Pei's brilliant investment performance, or does it come from somewhere else? ”

Li Shi was silent for a moment and said: “In fact, at first, it was only because of President Pei's brilliant investment performance. At that time, I did not have a very deep understanding and understanding of how President Pei and Yuanmeng Venture Capital could achieve so many successes. ”

“But lately, I've come to understand the root cause of all this, and I think that this experience can be shared not only with investors, but also with all young people who want to do something about it. ”

“The underlying reason why Pei has always been able to achieve so much is the way he thinks! ”

Li Xian Zhang's eyes lit up: “Please elaborate? ”

Li Shi smiled slightly: “This is Lazy Apartment, Tengda's newest rental brand. But a lot of people don't know that Bae lives here too, on the top floor of this building. All the furnishings in this room are exactly the same as General Pei's room! ”

Zhang Lixian stunned.

She didn't think of that!

Everyone knows where Tenda's office is located and where General Pei's office is located, but few people know who President Pei really is and where he lives.

“Is President Pei's residence the same as here? Isn't that too simple? How do you live?” Zhang Lixian wondered.

Li Shi smiled: “That's what I thought at first. ”

“I was also surprised when I discovered that President Bae lived here, because the layout here was really too simple, so simple that it would have a certain impact on normal life. ”

“It is easy for people who live here to feel like a temple or a monastery because there is no living atmosphere at all. ”

“So I also had doubts. ”

“Why live in a luxury villa like this when it's easy to buy one at General Pei's price? ”

“So, with doubt, I also lived here for over half a month, and finally, I understood what President Pei meant. ”

Li Shi deliberately sold a level and said after a pause: "This helps to concentrate on thinking. And President Pei lives here because he wants to concentrate all his attention for a long time! ”

“Instead of being President Pei's residence, this is President Pei's study room and meditation room! ”

“General Pei's success is not a coincidence, but a result of hard thinking day after day. ”

“He kept his material enjoyment to a very low level, kept only minimal necessities throughout the room, and lived such a minimal life to prevent messy things from disturbing his thoughts! ”

“Without these clutters, we would be able to think more. Living in such an environment for long periods of time can foster such a focused and long-lasting mindset. ”

“Where in the world is there any investment genius, President Pei is just using all his time to think efficiently! ”

“So I'm also trying to learn this‘ simplified 'way of thinking. ”

“I come here often, alone, thinking quietly, and I find a lot of problems that I couldn't figure out before, and soon after I get here, I can figure them out, because here I can do everything without disturbing me. ”

Zhang Lixian's face showed a sudden expression.

So that's it!

Before, she was confused. Pei was always the owner of Tenda Group. She could make 500 million dollars in one investment. What kind of house couldn't she afford?

Although the house is quite large, it still doesn't match Bae's price.

Moreover, Bae has arranged his house so simple that there is hardly anything superfluous, reminiscent of the monks and prayer seekers.

Does that make sense?

Ask, who doesn't like convenience and who doesn't enjoy it?

President Pei's Tenda Group is already a big family business, so enjoying life is a normal option.

President Bae didn't do exactly that.

Obviously, Pei always has some very special purpose.

This puzzle was solved by Li, the same investor.

Obviously, Pei's success was not accidental, but rather a deliberate outcome.

And Bae was able to think deeper and farther than ordinary people, because he used this extremely harsh attitude to create such a space for himself to abandon some of his thoughts and focus on thinking!

When other people's wives and children are hot kangaroos, President Pei is still here to seriously think about the future direction of Tenda Group. The accumulation of months is different from the sky!

Zhang Lixian suddenly thought of a question and looked at the black box on the coffee table: “So, what does this black box do? ”

Li Shi did not speak, but showed Lixian Zhang again.

Press a few metal sticks quickly and the machine in the box automatically restores them in sequence.

Zhang Lixian fell into confusion: “This...”

“It's a fine craft," Li Shi explained. ”

“But it has a number of philosophical implications that help us think better. ”

“General Pei's room also has the exact same one. It took me a lot of effort to find the official website of this thing. I didn't expect that it was also made by Yuan Meng Venture Capital! ”

“In other words, most of this stuff is Pei's special bespoke invention. ”

“It's called a fully automatic lever lift. ”

Lixian Zhang is still confused: “Fully automatic lever lift? How does that make philosophical sense? How can it help us think better? ”

Li Shi turned the fully automatic lever toward Lixian Zhang and let her press it again.

Lixian Zhang pressed for a minute and wondered: “What's the point of this? Waste of time? ”

Li Shi smiled slightly: “It doesn't make sense. ”

“Meaningless is its greatest significance. ”

“It contains the traditional philosophy of the Taoists: useless. ”

“Being able to make people realize that an act is meaningless is a meaning in itself. ”

“This thing is called a fully automatic lever lift, which simulates the entire process of leveraging people online. ”

“More and more leverage and meaningless debate on the Internet, especially among public figures, is really easy to get into this meaningless debate. ”

“We're always used to arguing, but most of the time, a lot of people aren't arguing about right and wrong, they're getting high. ”

“Everyone will not really want to understand what the other person really means, will not reflect on whether they are wrong or not, but will do everything possible to dig the gaps in the other person's language and try to overturn the other person. ”

“Therefore, we will find that it is never possible to reach consensus by arguing with others online. ”

“Arguing with these people is like lifting a bar with this fully automatic lever. No matter how hard you try, it lifts the bar back, and you're just wasting your time. ”

“And as a thinker, it's easier to get into this senseless argument. Because the more you think, the more angry you get about the stupidity of some people; the easier it is to think, the easier it is to get into your own stupid, unknowable situation. ”

“Both the former and the latter are very dangerous, and thinking brings wisdom to us, but sometimes paranoia and arrogance to us. ”

“And this machine is reminding you that it's pointless, don't waste your time, don't argue with the Internet leverage. ”

“All you have to do is think hard and do your thing. ”

“So whenever I'm upset, I press it. I watched it keep lifting the bar with me, restoring all my efforts, and finally I realized that I was wasting my time and I was doing useless work. ”

“So when my negative emotions are unleashed, I can calm down and continue thinking. ”

“Why did President Pei leave no artefacts and decorations in the room but it? ”

“Just because it's not just a craft or a work of art, it's also a 'zero-thinking machine' that pairs with the layout of the whole room and allows us to better sink our minds into thinking. ”

“In my opinion, it is the soul of this‘ space of thought '! ”
