Chapter 651: The Philosophical Significance of the Bar Lifting Machine (No Wood in the Stone 2/10)
Tuesday, September 13th.
Zhang Lixian took the video of the financial channel to the unique building in City 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, and Li Shi invited Zhang Lixian and the videographer in.
Entering the empty living room, Zhang Lixian was stunned.
This...is this a new house that we just moved into?
This house is completely bare, as if it had just been robbed. How can anyone live there?
Zhang Lixian was very confused.
When she heard that Mr. Li had set the interview location in Shuguang Community in the city, she thought this was Mr. Li's residence. After all, it was in a community, so it obviously couldn't be an office location.
But when she came here and took a look, Zhang Lixian was confused again.
How does this look like a residence?
There is no smoke at all.
As far as she knew, Mr. Li had been married a long time 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 house in the Sloth Apartment?
Why?
Is there anything special about this place?
Even before Zhang Lixian started the interview, she naturally had a lot of questions.
Li Shi saw her doubts and smiled: "I know what you want to ask. Don't be in a hurry. Let's talk slowly."
There is a small coffee table and two chairs for drinking tea near the balcony, which is perfect for interviews. Originally, the sunlight coming through the floor-to-ceiling windows caused some backlighting of the lens, but Li Shi solved it after adjusting the smart glass.
This time it is not a very formal news interview, but more like an interview column. The program is relatively long, and the content of the two people's conversation is relatively casual.
While Zhang Lixian was recalling the questions she wanted to ask, she couldn't help but cast her eyes on the square 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 really eye-catching when placed on the coffee table.
Li Shi smiled: "I will explain this later."
Zhang Lixian nodded and decided to conduct the interview according to the normal procedure first. Anyway, if she is not satisfied with the result of the interview, she can retake it.
After all preliminary preparations are in place, the interview officially begins.
Zhang Lixian had many questions, such as why Mr. Li arranged the interview here, what was the furnishings in this room, what was the black box used for, etc., but she still started asking questions according to the questions she had prepared before.
"Mr. Li, you can be said to be a veteran in the venture capital industry in Jingzhou and even Handong. You have witnessed many wealth myths. The Fuhui Capital you founded has directly or indirectly helped many local industries in Jingzhou."
"You have also recently responded to the call and invested a lot of money in the old industrial area, that is, the Panic Hotel."
"However, our companies and investors in Jingzhou were originally afraid of avoiding this place. What was your reason for making up your mind to invest here?"
Li Shi fell into memories: "Actually, I was not optimistic about this place at first. But one day, Mr. Pei asked me, which project in Jingzhou is the one that investors are least willing to touch?"
"I thought about it and said it should be over there in the old industrial area."
"Because at that time, the old industrial area was still a wasteland, with only some abandoned factories, and it was far away on the outskirts of the city. The location was very remote."
"I thought Mr. Pei was just joking, but Mr. Pei voted directly without saying anything!"
"So, I voted."
Zhang Lixian was stunned.
So... hasty?
Mr. Pei invested, so you also invested? What if Mr. Pei’s investment fails?
"Then... why do you trust Mr. Pei so much?" Zhang Lixian asked.
Li Shi smiled: "If you investigate Mr. Pei's investment in Dream Ventures in detail, you will find that there is a huge difference between his investment and 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, make money now or make money later!"
"The most successful investment of Dream Venture Capital was the purchase of shares of Zhidou Company. The timing of every step was just right, and the income increased by more than 20 times!"
“Investing 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 have the courage to seize opportunities!"
"Mr. Pei obviously did his best in every aspect to invest in so many successful projects."
"Of course, before investing, Mr. Pei also repeatedly reminded me that this project would have great risks. I thought about it, if there are risks, there are risks. The renovation of the old industrial zone is imperative. If we really lose money,
, that is equivalent to making a contribution to Jingzhou."
"As a native of Jingzhou, I was lucky enough to gain some wealth, and it is my duty to give back to society."
Zhang Lixian nodded: "Mr. Li's mind is really admirable. I find that you seem to have great trust in Mr. Pei? Does your trust come from Mr. Pei's brilliant investment performance, or does it also come from other places?
?”
Li Shi was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, in the beginning, it was just because of Mr. Pei's brilliant investment performance. At that time, I did not have a deep understanding of why Mr. Pei and Yuanmeng Venture Capital were able to achieve so much success."
"But recently, I have become more and more aware of the root cause of all this. I think this experience can be shared not only with investors, but also with all young people who are interested in making a career."
"The fundamental reason why Mr. Pei is able to achieve such results lies in his way of thinking!"
Zhang Lixian's eyes lit up: "Can you please elaborate?"
Li Shi smiled slightly: "This is Sloth Apartment, which is Tenda's latest rental brand. But many people don't know that Mr. Pei also lives here, on the top floor of this building. All the furnishings in this room are
It’s exactly the same as Mr. 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 Mr. Pei’s true identity and where he lives.
"Mr. Pei's residence is the same as here? Isn't it too simple? How can we live there?" Zhang Lixian asked doubtfully.
Li Shi smiled: "I thought so at first."
"After I found out that Mr. Pei lives here, I was also surprised, because the furnishings here are really too simple, so simple that it will have a certain impact on normal life."
"People who live here can easily feel that this place is like a temple or a monastery, because there is no atmosphere of life at all."
"So, I also had doubts."
"With Mr. Pei's worth, it's easy to buy a luxurious villa. Why do you want to live in a place like this?"
"So, with doubts, I lived here for more than half a month. Finally, I understood what Mr. Pei meant."
Li Shi deliberately put it off, and after a pause he said: "It helps to concentrate on thinking here. And Mr. Pei lives here just because he needs to concentrate on thinking for a long time!"
"This is not so much Mr. Pei's residence as it is Mr. Pei's practice room and meditation room!"
"Mr. Pei's success is not an accident, but the result of diligent thinking day after day."
"He compressed his material enjoyment to an extremely low level, keeping 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 such an environment for a long time can develop this focused and long-lasting way of thinking."
"There is no investment genius in this world. Mr. Pei just uses all his time to think efficiently!"
“So, I am now also working hard to learn this way of thinking of ‘simplifying complexity’.”
"I come here often and think quietly by myself. I find that many problems that I couldn't figure out before can be solved quickly after coming here, because here, I can be distracted and won't have any worries.
Things bother me."
Zhang Lixian had a look of surprise on her face.
I see!
She was puzzled before. Mr. Pei is the boss of Tengda Group and can earn 500 million from a single investment. What kind of house does he want to buy but he can't afford it?
Although this house is not small in size, it still cannot match Mr. Pei’s worth.
Moreover, Mr. Pei actually arranged his house in such a simple way, with almost no superfluous things, making people think of ascetics and seekers.
Is this reasonable?
Let me ask, who doesn’t like convenience and who doesn’t like enjoyment?
Mr. Pei's Tengda Group is already a big business, so it stands to reason that enjoying life is a normal choice.
But Mr. Pei didn't do that.
Obviously, Mr. Pei has some very special purposes.
This puzzle was solved by Mr. Li, who is also an investor.
Obviously, Mr. Pei's success is not an accident, but the result of careful consideration.
The reason why Mr. Pei can think deeper and further than ordinary people is because he uses this extremely strict attitude to create a space for himself where he can abandon some distracting thoughts and concentrate on thinking!
While other people are at home with their wives and children warming up, Mr. Pei is still here seriously thinking about the future development direction of Tenda Group. Over time, it makes a huge difference!
Zhang Lixian suddenly thought of a question and looked at the black box on the coffee table: "Then, what is this black box used for?"
Li Shi didn't say anything, but demonstrated it to Zhang Lixian.
Quickly press a few small metal sticks, and the machine in the box will automatically restore them one by one.
Zhang Lixian was at a loss: "This..."
Li Shi explained: "It is an exquisite handicraft."
"However, it is rich in some philosophical meanings and helps 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. Unexpectedly, it was also made by Yuanmeng Venture Capital!"
"In other words, this thing is probably Mr. Pei's special custom-made invention."
"Its name is a fully automatic bar lifter."
Zhang Lixian is still confused: "Fully automatic bar lift machine? How can that have philosophical meaning? How can it help us think better?"
Li Shi turned the fully automatic bar lifting machine to Zhang Lixian and asked her to press it again.
Zhang Lixian pressed the button for a minute and wondered: "What's the point of this? Is it a complete waste of time?"
Li Shi smiled slightly: "It makes no sense."
"Its meaninglessness is its greatest meaning."
"This contains the traditional philosophical thought of Taoism: use of useless things."
"It can make people realize that a certain behavior is meaningless, which is a kind of meaning in itself."
"This thing is called a fully automatic arrogance machine. It simulates the entire process of arguing with others online."
"Nowadays, there are more and more trolls on the Internet, and there are more and more meaningless arguments. Especially public figures, it is really easy to fall into such meaningless arguments."
"We are always used to arguing with others, but most of the time, many people are not arguing about right or wrong, but about differences."
"Everyone will not really want to understand what the other person's true meaning is, or reflect on whether they are wrong. Instead, they will try every means to dig out loopholes in the other person's language and try to refute the other person."
"So, we will find that it is never possible to reach a consensus by arguing with others online."
"Arguing with these people is like trying to argue with this fully automatic machine. No matter how hard you try, it will come back and you are just wasting your time."
"As a thinker, it is easier to fall into this kind of meaningless debate. Because the more you think about it, the more angry you will be at some people's stupidity; the more you think about it, the easier it is to fall into your own stupidity.
The state of self-awareness.”
"Both the former and the latter are very dangerous. Thinking brings us wisdom, but sometimes it also brings us paranoia and arrogance."
"And this machine is to remind you that this is meaningless, don't waste your time, and don't argue with online trolls."
"You just need to think carefully and do your own thing well."
"So, whenever I feel irritable, I press it. I watch it keep arguing with me and restoring all my efforts. Finally, I realize that I am wasting time and doing useless work.
.”
"So, my negative emotions were vented, and I could calm down and continue thinking."
"Why didn't Mr. Pei leave any handicrafts or decorations in the room, only this?"
"That's because it's not just a craft or art piece, it's also a 'thinking machine' that matches the layout of the entire room, allowing us to better calm down and think."
"In my opinion, it is the soul of this 'thinking space'!"
