Among all the US presidents, Wu Xiaozheng's least favorite is Trupp.

In addition to being exaggerated, arrogant, and rude, this guy is also extremely unfriendly to China.

Also as a businessman, Wu Xiaozheng knew that that guy was a typical opportunist and risk-taker, and his bold and reckless character, coupled with his unfriendliness to China, would definitely toss up a lot of things that were unfavorable to China.

Now he really wants to fall into the ground.

Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life.

This is one of the more vicious phrases in the Chinese proverb.

Of course, Wu Xiaozheng can just think about it for the time being.

You must know that in eight years, you can get a net worth of more than one billion dollars through speculation and capital operation, which is really not something that ordinary people can do.

Even if he is down-and-out now, it is not something that can be bullied by any person.

At least Wu Xiaozheng does not have this strength for the time being.

"U, why did you mention him all of a sudden? Do you want to do business with him? Let me tell you, this guy is really arrogant, even if he is in big trouble now, if you don't know him well, he may not pay attention to you. ”

When it comes to Trup, Giuliani is still angry.

But he immediately changed his words: "However, if you are really interested in him, it is best to wait a while." When I become the mayor, this shameless guy will immediately change his attitude and run over to kneel and lick me, and I can easily help you whatever you want. ”

Wu Xiaozheng couldn't help laughing.

It seems that Giuliani also has no general knowledge of Troup.

But he was curious, why Giuliani, who is now complaining about Trupp, had such a good relationship with him later?

It seems that this has something to do with Trupp's later escape from the predicament and resurrection with full blood, as well as Trupp's speculative change of face.

Wu Xiaozheng can imagine that during Giuliani's years as mayor of New York, Trupp was still in a difficult situation, and it was not until Giuliani's best two years as mayor, that is, around 1999, that he began to slowly recover, and then rose again.

During this period, Trupp must have begged Giuliani a lot, and even used this opportunity to improve the relationship between the two.

What a great character!

Wu Xiaozheng somewhat admired this guy's shamelessness.

He shook his head and said, "I didn't think about doing business with him. ”

"Oh?" said Giuliani, a little stunned.

"I mention him because I happened to read his book and heard that it was a bestseller. ”

Wu Xiaozheng found a good reason to explain.

Not to mention, in addition to being a president and a successful businessman, Trupp is also a best-selling author.

Before he became president, he wrote a total of three autobiographical books, namely "The Art of Doing Business", "The Ending, Survival at the Peak", and "The Art of Return".

The best part is that these three books are very good.

Among them, "The Art of Doing Business", published in 1991, was hailed as the "bible" of businessmen, sold more than 3 million copies, was named the best-selling book by the New York Times, and maintained the top position on the list for 32 consecutive weeks.

The same is true for the latter two.

In addition, he has written books such as "America, Worth Owning" and "Trupp: How to Get Rich", the latter of which was prepaid by the publisher as much as $5 million in deposits alone.

In terms of ability, this is really a bull man!

Since his book is known as the "Bible" of businessmen, Wu Xiaozheng, as a businessman, naturally has to read it.

Now is the right excuse to bring up Trupp.

He believed that since it was a bestseller and was published in '91, the book should be available in bookstores in New York.

"You mean 'The Art of Doing Business'? I happen to be reading this book as well. But I think the guy wrote this book to flatter himself, and then tell how he speculated and took risks!"

Giuliani also happens to know the book.

But he doesn't seem to have a high opinion of the book.

Wu Xiaozheng smiled and said, "That's right, I found that guy often boasted very childishly in the book, which made me feel very strange. ”

This seems to be in favor of Giuliani's view.

But Wu Xiaozheng only said half of what he said.

This sentence just now is indeed Wu Xiaozheng's first feeling when he first came to the book of this businessman president.

But after careful reading, he felt that these books were a bit exaggerated to be hailed as the bible of businessmen, but many of the ideas in them were worth learning.

In his previous life, because Wu Xiaozheng read these books carefully after Trupp became president, and jumped off the building not long after reading them, he still remembers many of the essence of the books clearly.

The first essence: I am only crazy on the surface, but I am extremely cautious and conservative in my actions.

In the book, Trupp gives an example:

I bought a very nice plot of land on Bodwek Avenue in Atlantic City, but I wasn't in a hurry to get started, and for that I had to pay for the operating expenses for a long time.

But I had to make sure I could get a license from the government before I could start construction.

While I lost time, I greatly reduced the risk by hundreds of millions of dollars.

The second essence: make any decision to give yourself leeway.

Trupp said in the book that most projects, even if they look good and promising in the early stage, will actually fail. For every single business, I make half a dozen plans to make it successful.

The third essence: learn to sell yourself.

Trupp said that even if you have the strongest ability and the best talent in the world, if people don't know you, you are worthless.

The fourth essence: never compromise, even if you compromise once, others will bully you as a coward.

Trupp said that I am a very good person to deal with, and I am also good to those who are good to me. But once someone wants to treat me badly, or wants to take advantage of me, my consistent attitude is to fight back mercilessly.

……

There are many similar essences in the book, and there are many points of view that Wu Xiaozheng quite recognizes.

He had to admit that although this guy was arrogant, vulgar and rude, as he himself said in the book, he looked crazy on the surface, but in fact he was very thoughtful and planned.

Maybe that's a paralyzing appearance.

Thinking of this, although Wu Xiaozheng didn't like that guy, he suddenly became interested in him.

He said to Giuliani, "Rudolph, when you become mayor, help me make a good date with him, I'm really curious about this rough and rude fellow." ”

"No problem!"

Giuliani agreed.

But then he joked again: "By the way, that guy has a beautiful daughter, do you want to think about it?"

Wu Xiaozheng: "......"

Are you talking about Ivanka?

If I'm not mistaken, she's only twelve or thirteen years old by now!

Beasts!

Three years to start, the highest death penalty!
