To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 651 The Philosophical Significance of the Bar Lifter

Tuesday, October 9th.

Zhang Lixian took the video of the financial channel and came to the unique building in Shuguang City.

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 just moved in?

This is simply a desolate house, just like the one that has just been robbed, how can people live in it?

Zhang Lixian was very confused.

When she heard that Mr. Li had set the interview location in Shuguang District of the city, she thought it was Mr. Li's residence. After all, it was in the community, so it was obviously impossible for him to be his office.

But when she came here and took a look, Zhang Lixian was puzzled again.

How does this look like a residence?

There is no smoke at all.

As far as she knew, Mr. Li was married a long time ago, and his son is in junior high school, but there is no trace of his wife and son's life in this place.

In other words, Li Shi didn't make this place his home, but just rented a sloth apartment?

why?

Is there anything special about this place?

Before Zhang Lixian started the interview, she already had many questions naturally.

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 coming through the floor-to-ceiling windows made the lens somewhat backlit, but Li Shi solved it after adjusting the smart glass.

This time it was not a very formal news interview, but more like an interview column, the program was longer, and the content of the two people's chat was relatively casual.

While Zhang Lixian was recalling the question she was about to ask, she couldn't stop looking 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, 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 it later."

Zhang Lixian nodded, and decided to follow the normal procedure for the interview first. Anyway, if she is not satisfied with the interview result, she 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 location here, what is going on with the furnishings in this room, what is the black box for, etc., but I started to ask questions according to the prepared questions.

"Mr. Li, you can be said to be a veteran in the venture capital industry in Jingzhou and even Handong, and a witness to many wealth myths. The Fuhui Capital you founded has directly or indirectly helped many local industries in Jingzhou."

"Recently, you also responded to the call and invested a lot of money in the old industrial area, which is the Thrilling Hostel."

"However, our companies and investors in Jingzhou were afraid to avoid this place. What are the reasons why you made up your mind to invest here?"

Li Shi fell into memories: "Actually, I wasn't optimistic about this place at first. But one day Mr. Pei asked me, which project in Jingzhou is the project that investors are least willing to touch?"

"I thought about it for a while and said, it should be over there in the old industrial area."

"Because the old industrial area at that time was still a wasteland, there were only some abandoned factories, and it was far away on the outskirts of the city, so the location was very remote."

"I thought Boss Pei was just joking, but Boss Pei voted without saying a word!"

"So, I also voted."

Zhang Lixian was stunned.

So... sloppy?

Mr. Pei voted, so you voted too?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 Mengyuan 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 investment, loss or gain."

"And Boss Pei's investment has only two outcomes, earn now or earn later!"

"If you want to say that the most successful investment of Yuanmeng Venture Capital was buying the shares of Zhitou Company, it was really timed at every step, and the income directly doubled by more than 20 times!"

"Investment requires not only courage, but also vision."

"An excellent investor must first be able to see the opportunity, secondly he must know how to grasp the opportunity, and finally he must dare to seize the opportunity!"

"And Mr. Pei obviously has achieved the ultimate in every link, so he can invest in so many successful projects."

"Of course, before investing, Mr. Pei has repeatedly reminded me that this project will be very risky. I thought about it. If there is a risk, there is a risk. The transformation 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, and I should give back to the society."

Zhang Lixian nodded: "Mr. Li's mind is really admirable. I found that you seem to trust Mr. Pei very much? Does your trust come from Mr. Pei's brilliant investment performance, or is it also from other places ?”

Li Shi was silent for a moment, and said: "Actually, at the beginning, it was only because of Mr. Pei's brilliant investment performance. At that time, I didn't 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 what is the root of all this. I think this experience can be shared not only with investors, but also with all young people who aspire to make a career."

"The fundamental reason why Mr. Pei can achieve such results lies in his way of thinking!"

Zhang Lixian's eyes lit up: "Could you please explain in detail?"

Li Shi smiled slightly: "This is the 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 that!

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.

"Boss Pei's residence is the same as here? Isn't it too simple? How do you live there?" Zhang Lixian asked doubtfully.

Li Shi smiled: "I thought so too at first."

"After finding out that Mr. Pei lives here, I was also very 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 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, and finally, I understood the deep meaning of President Pei."

Li Shi made a fool of himself on purpose, and after a pause, he said: "This is helpful for concentrating and thinking. President Pei lives here just to concentrate and think for a long time!"

"This is not so much Mr. Pei's residence, but rather Mr. Pei's practice room and meditation room!"

"Boss Pei's success is not an accident, but the result of hard thinking day after day."

"He compressed his material enjoyment to an extremely low level, kept only the minimum necessities in the entire room, and lived such a minimalist life all the time, 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, you can develop this focused, long-term way of thinking."

"There is no investment genius in this world. Boss Pei just uses up all his time and thinks efficiently!"

"So, I'm also trying to learn this 'simplify' way of thinking now."

"I often come here to think quietly by myself. I found many problems that I couldn't figure out before. After coming here, I can figure it out quickly, because here, I can focus on nothing else, and I won't have any problems. Things bother me."

A dazed expression appeared on Zhang Lixian's face.

That's it!

She was also very puzzled before, Mr. Pei is always the boss of Tengda Group, and he can earn [-] million in one investment, what kind of house do you want to buy that you can't afford?

Although the size of this house is not small, it still can't match Mr. Pei's worth.

What's more, Mr. Pei has arranged his house so simply, there are almost no extra things, which reminds people of ascetics and seekers.

Is this reasonable?

Just ask, who doesn't like convenience, who doesn't like enjoyment?

Mr. Pei's Tengda Group is already a big business. It stands to reason that enjoying life is a normal choice.

But Mr. Pei just 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 accidental, but the result of careful consideration.

And the reason why Mr. Pei can think deeper and farther than ordinary people is because he used this extremely strict attitude to create such a space for himself where he can abandon some distracting thoughts and concentrate on thinking!

When other people's wives and children are at home, Mr. Pei is still thinking seriously about the future development direction of Tenda Group, and the accumulation of time and time makes a world of difference!

Zhang Lixian suddenly thought of a question, and looked at the black box on the coffee table: "Then, what is this black box for?"

Li Shi did not speak, but demonstrated it to Zhang Lixian.

Press a few small metal sticks quickly, and the machine in the box will automatically restore them one by one.

Zhang Lixian fell into a daze: "This..."

Li Shi explained: "It is a delicate handicraft."

"However, there is something philosophical about it that 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!"

"That is to say, this thing is probably Mr. Pei's special custom invention."

"Its name is called a fully automatic bar lifter."

Zhang Lixian is still confused: "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 by herself.

Zhang Lixian pressed the button for 1 minute, wondering: "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 philosophy of Taoism: the usefulness of the useless."

"Being able to make people realize that a certain behavior is meaningless is a meaning in itself."

"This thing is called a fully automatic bullshit machine, and it simulates the whole process of bullshitting with others online."

"Now there are more and more bullshit on the Internet, and there are more and more meaningless debates, especially public figures, it is really easy to fall into such meaningless debates."

"We are always used to arguing with people, but most of the time, many people are not arguing for right or wrong, but for scoring."

"Everyone will not really want to understand what the other party's true meaning is, and will not reflect on whether they are wrong, but will try their best to dig out the loopholes in the other party's language, trying to refute the other party."

"So, we will find that arguing with others online will never reach a consensus."

"Arguing with these people is like arguing with this automatic bar machine. No matter how hard you try, it will come back and you're just wasting your time."

"And as a thinker, it's easier to get caught up in this kind of meaningless debate. Because the more you think, the more you get angry at someone's stupidity; the more you think, the easier it is to get caught up in your own stupidity and not A state of self-knowledge."

"Whether it is the former or the latter, it is very dangerous. Thinking brings us wisdom, but sometimes it can also bring us paranoia and arrogance."

"And this machine is just reminding you that this is meaningless, 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 picking me up, undoing all the hard work I've put in, and I realize, I'm wasting my time, I'm doing useless work .”

"Thus, my negative emotions have been vented, and I can calm down and continue thinking."

"Why didn't Mr. Pei leave any handicrafts and decorations in the room, but this?"

"Because it is not just a handicraft or artwork, it is also a 'mind reset machine', which matches with the layout of the whole room and allows us to calm down and think better."

"In my opinion, it is the soul of this 'thinking space'!"
