"So, what kind of image does Mr. Pei have in your mind?"
After introducing each other, Wu Bin and Cui Geng began to interview Qiao Liang.
After coming out of "Ultimate Terror", Qiao Liang first went to the healing spring to wash his hands. The warm water instantly dispelled the shock and fear, making the remaining fear disappear.
Qiao Liang felt that he would not recall those horrific memories tonight and sleep peacefully...right?
Then, he and Wu Bin met at the maid cafe for an interview.
So far, Wu Bin and Cui Geng have interviewed Li Shi and Liang Qingfan in order to illustrate the Tengda spirit and unlocked the image of Mr. Pei from two other angles.
It's just that the current images are still far from enough to outline Mr. Pei's profile, just some fragmentary silhouettes.
Therefore, we have to continue to collect materials.
As Mr. Pei's friends, Qiao Liang and Ruan Guangjian have both been scheduled for interviews, but they will be interviewed separately.
Because strictly speaking, this is not just a simple interview.
Everyone's point of view is one-sided and cannot be used directly.
Wu Bin had to carefully analyze every word these people said, repeatedly compare and verify it with Mr. Pei's past cases, and discard the rough and select the essentials, discarding the false and retaining the true, in order to write a small part of the content into the book.
After all, for the spirit of Tengda, a slight difference can lead to a mistake of a thousand miles, and nothing can be done carelessly.
Moreover, Wu Bin usually has other jobs, so it takes a long time to sort out this information every time, which can be as short as two weeks or as long as a month.
Now, the interviews with Li Shi and Liang Qingfan have finally been compiled and the interviews can continue.
Qiao Liang is a good friend of Mr. Pei and also a very influential up owner of Ellie Island. Wu Bin believes that Qiao Laoshi can definitely provide another unique perspective!
"My impression of Mr. Pei..."
Qiao Liang took a sip of coffee and fell into deep thought.
If asked before today, Qiao Liang might have given another answer.
But after clearing all the projects in the Terror Hostel, Qiao Liang suddenly gained some new understanding and insights.
He sorted out his thoughts and said: "First of all, I think Pei is always a very broad-minded person. Even some collaborators with weird tempers can tolerate them and even become close friends."
Wu Bin: "So this collaborator is...?"
Qiao Liang coughed twice: "It's better not to reveal this. I can't say bad things about others behind their backs."
"And I want to emphasize that this collaborator is just a little weird, but he is still kind at heart."
"The reason why Mr. Pei is able to become friends with this kind of person is probably because he sees his kind nature."
"But this is not inconsistent with Mr. Pei's tolerant character!"
"At the same time, Mr. Pei is a person who cares about his friends and cares about his friends in every possible way. After I came to Jingzhou, Mr. Pei helped me arrange all aspects of food, accommodation and travel. The standards were completely beyond my imagination.
This kind of care is something I have never felt before!”
Wu Bin nodded frequently and took notes quickly.
Qiao Liang thought for a while and emphasized: "I think Mr. Pei's tolerance and kindness to his friends is not a kind of compromise or tolerance, but a kind of wisdom, or a kind of detachment."
"Mr. Pei doesn't have to compromise with anyone, there's no need to please anyone, and there's no need to even be friends with people he doesn't like."
"The reason why he is able to do this must be because he looks at the problem from a more detached perspective. His wisdom allows him to deal with the friction in friendship indifferently!"
"It's like a mature adult making friends with a child. No matter how willful the child is or how incompetent he is, the adult can smile and be tolerant, and he won't behave like a child..."
"So, everyone who makes friends with Mr. Pei is like the old saying: Making friends with a gentleman is like entering a room of orchids, and you will not smell the fragrance for a long time."
Wu Bin nodded frequently after hearing this.
The content in this aspect is indeed very consistent with his impression of Mr. Pei. It is extremely credible and should be used as an important part of Tengda’s spiritual annotation!
And this is just an appetizer.
Qiao Liang changed the subject and began to tell the more critical part.
"In addition, there is also a final summary of Mr. Pei's identity."
"Mr. Pei...is a unique expressor!"
Wu Bin's recording speed increased significantly: "The ultimate summary of all identities?"
"This seems to be a very interesting point. Can you elaborate on it?"
Qiao Liang smiled slightly: "Actually, this is very obvious, but it has been ignored all the time, because this identity can easily be covered up by the identity of 'entrepreneur'!"
"We all know that Mr. Pei has many identities. He has produced many games, filmed movies, built haunted houses, as well as Internet cafes, takeaways, mobile phones and many other projects and brands."
"All these identities can be boiled down to one, that is, the expresser!"
"The biggest difference between Mr. Pei and other entrepreneurs is that other entrepreneurs are just running to make money. They make a decision based on market feedback."
"If the market feedback is good, then keep doing it. If the market feedback is not good, then just stop."
"The starting point for making a project or product is often to consider first, and do whatever is most accepted by the current market. Even if the current market demand is wrong and unhealthy, they will still do it."
"They will say, this is how the market goes, and other companies are the same, what can I do?"
"But Mr. Pei is different. When he created these brands, he didn't ask for market feedback, but asked his own heart!"
"Every one of his businesses is trying to express something!"
Wu Bin's recorded hand speed became faster. This statement made his eyes light up and was deeply inspired.
Beyond the identity of an entrepreneur, is there a greater identity, that of an "expressor"?
"So, what exactly is Mr. Pei expressing?" Wu Bin asked curiously.
Qiao Liang took a sip of coffee and pondered for a moment: "It seems that every project expresses different ideas."
"Let's not talk about games and movies. There are already enough analyzes of these cultural products on the Internet."
"More importantly, Mr. Pei's other physical projects!"
"I didn't realize this before, but when I came to the Panic Hostel today, especially after experiencing it in the 'Ultimate Terror', I suddenly figured out a lot of things in an instant."
"Mr. Pei's Moyu Takeaway is a good example. It's obviously been losing money, so why are they still opening branches?"
Wu Bin thought for a while: "To expand market share?"
Qiao Liang nodded, then shook his head: "Maybe there is a reason for this, but it is definitely not the main reason."
"If we simply make some cheap food and subsidize it just to expand market share, wouldn't it be better and faster to expand market share?"
"In fact, if you look closely, you will find that almost all of Mr. Pei's businesses are unique. It seems that 'making money in conventional ways' is never his first goal."
"So I said that Mr. Pei is working hard to express his thoughts through these industries!"
"Just like taking out food, Mr. Pei definitely can't do it to lose money; there are better ways to expand market share."
“Mr. Pei’s real purpose is to express the concept of ‘healthy eating’ so that this concept can be accepted by more and more people!”
"Similarly, Moyu Internet Cafe, Mingyun Private Kitchen, Dingmin... every business of Mr. Pei expresses his thoughts and his views on this industry!"
"When Mr. Pei made these expressions, he was extremely confident and unique. He never boasted about this or explained anything."
"He just expressed his thoughts silently, waiting silently for someone to read the deeper meaning."
Wu Bin recorded quickly, his expression becoming more and more excited.
"This angle is so novel! And I think it makes perfect sense!"
"The expresser...this is really the best interpretation of Mr. Pei!"
"Thank you very much, Qiao Laoshi, you are indeed one of the people who know Mr. Pei best!..."
Qiao Liang originally smiled, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, his face fell again.
How to repay one of them?
I, Mr. Qiao, am the one who understands Mr. Pei the best, no one else!
But then I thought again, this Wu Bin is the official interpreter of Tengda spirit, and now he is collecting various opinions to annotate President Pei's spirit...
It seems that his interpretation of Mr. Pei is different from his own.
Um……
Then just accept this statement reluctantly!
After all, Wen Wu is the first, everyone is the interpreter of Mr. Pei, there is no need to compete for superiority.
Wu Bin thought for a while and then asked: "So, Qiao Laoshi, do you think there is one... central idea among the many thoughts expressed by Mr. Pei using all industries?"
“The kind that can be generalized across all industries?”
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "This... shouldn't be there, right?"
"Each industry has different practices and faces different groups of people, so we cannot generalize."
"At least for now, what I think of are some very vague concepts, without a particularly clear idea."
Wu Bin nodded: "Yes, that's right. If Mr. Pei's thoughts can be guessed so simply, it would be unreasonable."
"Anyway, this statement is very enlightening, thank you very much!"
"I will continue to study in this direction. I hope we can communicate more in the future and make progress together!"
Qiao Liang was also very happy: "Okay!"
"Actually, I also gained a lot from this collision of ideas."
“I already have an idea of what to title the new series of videos!”
""The Lonely Expresser"!"
The two held hands tightly and looked at each other with a smile.
