Chapter 217: There Is No Absolute Truth

Lucy whispered, "Steve, Anderson just called me and said that the guests would be 30 minutes late because they were going to pick up a heavyweight VIP who had been scheduled for a dinner at short notice. We waited here and chatted while enjoying the view. ”

Xu Xincheng nodded happily, everything in front of him is so beautiful, let alone 30 minutes, even if he is allowed to watch it like this for the rest of his life, he is willing.

"You're used to everything here, aren't you?"

Xu Xincheng said with some embarrassment: "To be honest, I'm a little unaccustomed. What happened today was completely beyond my imagination. ”

"I see that you adapt very quickly, and you don't seem to feel any discomfort, let alone any gaffes. ”

Xu Xincheng smiled bitterly and said, "Lucy, I have to be honest with you, I seem okay on the surface, but my heart has been turning over the river and the sea from the moment I got off the plane to the present, all this is too beyond my imagination for me." ”

Xu Xincheng hesitated for a moment, but he felt that he didn't need and shouldn't hide anything from Lucy, so he asked the question in his heart: "Lucy, can you tell me why you didn't tell me about our trip today in advance?" ”

Lucy smiled slightly and said, "What kind of qualities and abilities do you think the CEO of a company needs to have to be competent in the role of CEO?"

Xu Xincheng thought for a while and said, "There are too many qualities and abilities that a company's CEO needs to have, where should I start?"

"One of the most important qualities and abilities of a good CEO is to be calm and respond quickly to changes and adapt accordingly. I don't tell you that I just want to give you the opportunity to practice such qualities and abilities. Judging from your performance after getting off the plane, I am very satisfied, especially when you suddenly meet a powerful person, you are not humble or arrogant in front of Prince Anderson, and you are calm and confident, which is very rare. ”

After hearing this, Xu Xincheng could only smile helplessly and said, "Thank you!" He thought to himself that Lucy would really pick the opportunity to choose the time, fortunately, although he was born in an ordinary family, he knew since he was a child that all people are equal, Prince Anderson and other people from famous families, although they are hundreds of millions of times richer than him, but in his heart, he and they are equal in personality.

Also, Lucy mentioned the CEO again, which made his mood immediately ripple again, no, you have to change the topic quickly, thinking of this, Xu Xincheng said in a panic: "I didn't know much about Prince Anderson before, but I just looked up information about him on the Internet, and now I know a little about him." ”

Lucy seemed to read his thoughts, but smiled shallowly and said, "Then let's talk about Anderson." I'm telling you something you can't find online so that you can learn more about him. ”

Seeing that Lucy was willing to move the topic to other places, Xu Xincheng's heart immediately felt much more relaxed, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and listened quietly.

Anderson was one of the largest of New World Investment's first clients, having just taken over the family's RG Group.

His first investment was in Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, and his second investment was in New World Investment, which I did in New York, and we've known each other ever since.

Because the return on investment in our company is higher than his investment in other companies, he has increased the amount of investment year by year, and now, RG Group is the largest customer of my investment company, with a total investment amount of 17 billion US dollars. ”

Xu Xincheng thought to himself, it is estimated that this is the reason why everyone in the investment banking circle respectfully called Lucy "the female version of Buffett", "the queen of investment banking" and "the queen of finance" when he attended the dinner held by Qin Lao last week.

Lucy bowed his head slightly, pondered for a moment, then raised his head, looked at Xu Xincheng, and said very seriously: "Over the years, from what I have seen, heard, learned, and thought, I have summarized some of my own views, thoughts and thoughts, from today onwards, I will share and discuss with you one by one, I believe that there will be some inspiration for you, and there will be some help for your promotion and progress." ”

Xu Xincheng felt very happy, during this time, every conversation with Lucy could benefit him a lot, Lucy is like the top martial arts master, every time he communicates and learns from her, it is a rare opportunity for him to increase his internal strength and improve his martial arts, of course he is a hundred willing, he quickly nodded happily and said, "Great!"

"If you have any topics you want to share and discuss, you can always talk to me. ”

"Okay. Of course I'd love to, but I'm afraid you'll be too busy to disturb you. ”

"It's okay! You can always come to me, and every time I talk to you, I always get some inspiration myself, sometimes very inspiring. ”

Xu Xincheng was moved in his heart, he knew very well that Lucy could have any great inspiration in terms of his knowledge and opinions, but he secretly made up his mind in his heart: "Every conversation, I must pour out what I have learned, pour out what I feel and understand, only in this way can I contribute my modest efforts to each conversation, only in this way, Lucy can get some small inspiration from it and benefit from it." ”

Lucy said calmly: "First of all, I want to emphasize that all my opinions, ideas, and thoughts are not entirely correct, not perfect, and not true. They're not even perfect, I just hope they give you some useful inspiration, that's all. ”

"Understood. Although I am a perfectionist myself, I have also learned that the world is imperfect, and there is no such thing as absolute perfection. All we can do is keep striving for 'more perfect' things, but we can't really think that we can pursue 'absolutely perfect' things. ”

"Yes. There is no such thing as absolute perfection in this world, and there is no absolute truth in this world. ”

Xu Xincheng had not fully understood the idea that "there is no absolute truth", so he asked: "Is there really no absolute truth in this world?"

"Nope. ”

"Isn't even Einstein's theory of relativity true?"

"It's not. The theory of relativity is not applicable in the quantum world, nor does it explain the strong force, weak force, electromagnetic force, in short, it is not an absolute truth. Lucy paused, then continued: "Of course, it would be more accurate to say that the 'world' we just said refers to the world that we humans know, and we don't know if there is anything absolutely perfect in our unknown world; ”

Xu Xincheng couldn't stop nodding, his brain turned around quickly more than a dozen times, trying to seriously think about what Lucy said, especially the second paragraph Lucy said, but the amount of information contained in that paragraph was too great, far beyond the world he "knew", so big that it was very difficult to even try to think about it, and he suddenly felt that his brain couldn't turn anymore and was stuck.

Lucy seemed to see that his mind was stuck, and said, "Steve, this is not a topic we are going to discuss today, and we will continue to discuss it when we have a chance." ”

"Okay. Xu Xincheng shook his head slightly, restarted his brain, and thought to himself: "Forget it! This kind of question does not belong to me at all, so I should leave it to the great scientists and thinkers." ”
