Chapter 405: Reconciliation
Because Lin Weidong and Guo Guangchang both have a common friend, Ma Xiaoyun, the topic of their conversation will always involuntarily talk about Ma Xiaoyun.
As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
Guo Guangchang, like Ma Xiaoyun, is also a veteran Tai Chi enthusiast.
He first practiced Tai Chi, and his master was recommended by Jack Ma.
In addition, Guo Guangchang and Ma Xiaoyun have always had an agreement on a "competition".
is to find a dark room, and the two of them go in to learn "Tai Chi Divine Skills", anyway, only one person can come out in the end.
Moreover, Ma Xiaoyun believes that this martial arts competition cannot be smaller than the scene of "Huashan on the Sword" in martial arts, and many friends must be invited to come to witness.
Of course, the ticket price should not be saved, and it should be worth a few dollars.
Regarding the understanding of Tai Chi, Lin Weidong also heard Ma Xiaoyun say that his greatest pleasure in practicing Tai Chi does not come from fighting, but from the struggle to understand Tai Chi.
As for whether Ma Xiaoyun can comprehend Tai Chi in the battle, Lin Weidong is actually not sure, because he always feels that Ma Xiaoyun is suspected of being tricky.
However, this did not prevent Ma Xiaoyun from influencing Guo Guangchang to become a Tai Chi enthusiast, and even spontaneously became a "propaganda ambassador" of Tai Chi.
It is worth mentioning that Guo Guangchang spared no effort to promote Tai Chi, and under his call, many people in the political and business circles have begun to join.
Moreover, Guo Guangchang, like Ma Xiaoyun, has his own "boxing friends".
For example, Jin Huiming, general manager of Dahua Group, Dai Zhikang, chairman of Zendai Group, Zhou Yongping, president of Luwan Economic Development Promotion Association, and Zhang Xifan, general manager of AIA, all became Tai Chi enthusiasts under the influence of Guo Guangchang.
But the CEOs of the enterprises think that their status is noble, and they are not willing to practice with the old man and the old lady in the park, they need a more high-end place.
As a result, the country's first Tai Chi health center "Yi Tai Chi Health Center" came into being in Shanghai Gymnasium, and the target customers are elites.
Soon after learning Tai Chi, Guo Guangchang invested in Yi Tai Chi and established Shanghai Yi Xing Sports Development Co., Ltd., with Fosun Group holding 51% of the shares, focusing on a high-end brand integrating Tai Chi health preservation and cultural wisdom exchange platform.
This is known as the only one of Fosun's many investment projects that has not undergone commercial justification and does not seek commercial returns, but in fact, Guo Guangchang is already its in-depth user.
Therefore, when he met with Lin Weidong this time, Guo Guangchang did not miss the opportunity and spared no effort to promote Tai Chi to Lin Weidong.
"My personal understanding is that Tai Chi is not about preemptive strikes, but about preemptive strikes, and reacts faster than others after experiencing a certain change. ”
Guo Guangchang said while comparing with Lin Weidong: "From the perspective of investment, a person cannot always be much faster than the market, because people's intelligence and vision are limited. However, you can feel a little faster than others when you see this change, and dare to make decisions when it changes. ”
When it comes to details, Guo Guangchang feels that he is easily annoyed, including his entrepreneurial team, and he can't help but scold, which is very bad.
"The fire in our body is very strong, and we need to cultivate ourselves and ourselves. ”
"I have always felt that Tai Chi is not only a culture and a philosophy, but also a kind of cultivation and a kind of exercise. ”
"Recently, after practicing Tai Chi, I realized that just by putting my fingers on the outside of my thighs, I could change my balance, so much so that the Tai Chi instructor couldn't knock me out with all his strength. ”
Guo Guangchang also told Lin Weidong that he would practice Tai Chi almost every day in the past two years, and even if he was too busy now and only practiced two days a week, he would practice Tai Chi by sitting, and it seemed that even when eating.
"You see, I rarely sit like this," Mr. Guo said, deliberately making himself look lazy. "Now I usually sit like this," he explained to Lin Weidong as he sat straight on the edge of his chair, "In this way, your qi is very smooth." ”
He added: "This will make my mental state better, and when I feel a little uncomfortable, I can recover quickly by practicing Tai Chi." ”
Lin Weidong's understanding of the concept of so-called "qi" or "essence, qi and spirit" is as bad as his experience of Tai Chi.
However, in order to help Lin Weidong understand, Guo Guangchang continued: "If you can stick to these movements every day, even if it is five to ten minutes, it will be good for your body. Sometimes, during conference calls, I listen and do some Tai Chi movements. ”
Moreover, when negotiating difficult M&A deals, Guo Guangchang would also take a break in the meeting and involuntarily play Tai Chi.
In Guo Guangchang's view, Tai Chi is not as limited as golf, it does not occupy a lot of space, it does not require a lot of equipment, it is more low-carbon, and it is also very good for exercising.
However, even if Guo Guangchang blew Tai Chi to the sky, Lin Weidong was still not interested in listening to it, and he still had no interest in practicing Tai Chi.
Because Tai Chi is almost equivalent to exercising for the elderly in our country, not only is it not lethal, but it is not even forced.
If you really want to practice, Lin Weidong would rather spend time practicing the "flying knife" - flying is the flying of Xiao Li's flying knife, and the knife is the knife of Xiao Li's flying knife.
Moreover, Lin Weidong does not feel that he is angry, does not feel that he is easily irritable, and does not often scold people, so he does not need to rely on Tai Chi to cultivate his self-cultivation at all.
In Lin Weidong's view, if you are angry, you should vent your anger and find your own woman to have a shot, this is the authentic harmony of yin and yang, which is much more pragmatic than practicing Tai Chi.
However, for the sake of Guo Guangchang's face, Lin Weidong did not directly slander Tai Chi, but also showed a little interest in Tai Chi.
After all, people have also said for a long time, and they always have to give some reaction, and they can't make him feel that he is doing useless work, which is really shocking.
As a result, Guo Guangchang saw a hint of his interest in Tai Chi on Lin Weidong's face, so he handed him a fee slip for Yi Tai Chi courses.
Lin Weidong took it and took a look, and this Yi Taiji's course fee sheet showed that the course fee for one month was paid.
Including 14,000 yuan of training fees, 8,000 yuan of accommodation fees, 4,000 yuan of meals, and 9,000 yuan of registration fees, textbook fees, examination fees, and evidence collection fees, a total of 35,000 yuan.
Lin Weidong was dumbfounded, and said angrily and funny: "Dong Guo, the purpose of your appointment to come here today is not just to sell me classes, right?"
Guo Weidong was not angry, and shook his head with a smile: "How is it possible, I really think Tai Chi is good, so I recommend Yi Tai Chi to you." ”
"If you're interested, I can sign you up for free, no pay. ”
Lin Weidong said bluntly: "This, Guo Dong, to be honest, even if I am very interested in Tai Chi, I am afraid that I will not be able to spare time to practice now, you let me think about it, if I have time, I will sign up myself." ”
Now that Lin Weidong has talked about this, Guo Guangchang is no longer reluctant, and said: "Okay, if you have time one day, or are interested in Tai Chi, you can call me directly, and I will introduce you to the best Tai Chi master." ”
Lin Weidong smiled and nodded: "Okay Guo Dong, I remember your words." ”
Talking and chatting like this, until the meal, Guo Guangchang and Lin Weidong left his office.
Originally, Lin Weidong thought that there was a generation gap between himself and Guo Guangchang, and there was no common topic between them.
As a result, during the meal, Lin Weidong found that Guo Guangchang, like himself, likes to drink, especially Tsingtao beer.
Moreover, what Lin Weidong appreciates the most is that Guo Guangchang has an extraordinary amount of alcohol, known as a thousand cups and is not drunk.
However, when it comes to Guo Guangchang's fate with Tsingtao Beer, it was already in the late eighties.
Back then, Guo Guangchang, who was in the summer vacation of his sophomore year, rode an old bicycle and went all the way north from Shanghai to the capital, and finally went to the Great Wall.
In the capital, he sold his bicycle in exchange for a little travel expenses. When he arrived in Qingdao, he was hungry for Tsingtao beer.
However, a poor student, after buying a ticket back to Shanghai, was already shy in his pocket.
It's not enough, and you can only choose one of the two between eating and drinking.
Guo Guangchang was ruthless in the end, and took out two meals to drink Tsingtao beer.
At that time, Tsingtao beer was still served by ticket, which was a big-name luxury.
After being "extravagant", Guo Guangchang thought about how refreshing it would be if he could drink Tsingtao beer every day.
It's just that I'm afraid even Guo Guangchang himself wouldn't have thought that more than ten years later, he would become the major shareholder of Tsingtao Beer.
After drinking a few bottles of Tsingtao beer, Lin Weidong and Guo Guangchang finally started talking.
PS. Thank you for the support of the two friends of World Dream and Empty City Yimeng, thank you all, and wish you all a happy life.
