The second day of the course focused on a visit to Li Ka-shing for a dialogue and exchange.

For this arrangement, Lin Feng was originally not interested.

Since Ye Weiyu settled in Hong Kong, he has come to Hong Kong more often, plus he gets along well with Li Zekai, and he has visited Li's house a few times, and there are many opportunities to meet Li Ka-shing.

In his view, perhaps this is more of a symbolic visit, after all, Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business was founded with a donation from the Li Ka Shing Foundation.

The other students were very excited, for most entrepreneurs in China, Li Ka-shing is undoubtedly an idol-level figure, Feng Lun jokingly said: "We are going to meet the super big brother of the Chinese world." ”

But the meeting process that day made Lin Feng deeply shocked, and for the first time began to think about what is the real "soft power" of business.

The meeting place was Li Ka-shing's office on the 70th floor of Cheung Kong Centre Tower in Central.

What everyone didn't expect was that 78-year-old Li Ka-shing was standing at the elevator entrance and waiting.

With a smile on his face, he humbly shook hands with each student and took the initiative to hand over the business card first.

At the same time, the assistant next to him also prepared a tray with a number on the plate, and took the number by the way after exchanging business cards.

This number determines which table each student sits at dinner, so as to avoid having lunch together, and these students have ideas about who will sit at table 1 and who will sit at table 2. After all, the Chinese pay attention to the ranking of seats, and the enterprises of these students are large and small, and the ages are also uneven, this method seems simple, but it contains very meticulous care.

Including the group photo shoot at the back is also based on this number, which also avoids everyone's embarrassment at that time, and is very thoughtful.

When shaking hands with Lin Feng, Li Ka-shing still maintained the same attitude, which made Lin Feng a little embarrassed: "Uncle, you are too polite." ”

He and Li Zekai are friends, and they can be regarded as Li Ka-shing's nephews.

"Richard, you're all right, I'm so happy, I'm free to do whatever I want." Li Ka-shing said with a smile in Cantonese.

Although the two only exchanged two sentences briefly, the other students also thought to themselves: Although Lin Feng has not been around for a few years, he has a wide range of contacts, and he and Li Chaoren seem to have a good personal relationship......

Before having lunch together, after a brief greeting and tea break, the students came to Li Ka-shing's VIP lounge and took their seats.

Li Ka-shing's opening remarks were also very humble: "I have the honor to receive you today, the whole Cheung Kong Group is flourishing, you are all entrepreneurs who have done very well in the mainland, and I want to learn from you." ”

A few simple words made the hearts of these mainland entrepreneurs present warm and comfortable.

Li Ka-shing's approachability also left a deep impression on everyone.

This is also the first time that Lin Feng has come into contact with Li Ka-shing on such a more formal occasion, and he has seen that the entrepreneurs around him who are also top figures in China have shown respect from the bottom of their hearts, and they have also felt the charm of Li Ka-shing from another angle.

It was not only because of his wealth and fame, but more importantly, because of the approachability and courtesy he showed.

After the greetings, after all, it was a course of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, and the content of the exchange was still focused on business and management.

"When we dream of greater success, do we prepare harder?

When we dream of becoming leaders, do we have the humility to serve others?

We often just want to change others, do we know when to change ourselves?

When we criticize others every day, do we know how to self-reflect?

No one can answer these questions for you, only you know how to find out. ”

Li Ka-shing's words aroused the thinking of everyone present.

When Zhu Xinli asked: "We all respect you, can you summarize your life perception in one sentence", Li Ka-shing thought for a while and replied: "Create self and pursue selflessness".

What does it mean to pursue oneself? When you make yourself stronger and stronger, self-aggrandize, and surpass others, it is easy to put pressure on others in the process. Because you are too strong and you will be strong in the future, just like you are always standing, others are squatting, and others are uncomfortable.

So you have to pursue selflessness, let yourself be dissolved in the crowd of sentient beings, and don't let others feel your pressure. On the one hand, create yourself, on the other hand, let yourself return to the bland, make yourself comfortable and not create pressure for everyone.

That's what Li Ka-shing said, and that's what he did.

Including lunch, because of the large number of students, four tables were arranged.

Li Ka-shing sat at each table for 15 minutes, chatting with the students at each table seriously, and did not ignore anyone.

During the lunch conversation, Jiang Nanchun's question was asked by Li Ka-shing's very thought-provoking answer.

Jiang Nanchun asked: "What do you think is the most important quality to grow into a business leader?" ”

Li Ka-shing: "A leader should treat colleagues, shareholders, subordinates and anyone with a tolerant heart and a fair attitude, and there is no tolerance for others, and judging things with hostility and self-interest will definitely lose opportunities and make life unhappy." We must be open-minded, treat others with kindness and sincerity, know how to give up, and know how not to fight will strive for achievements. Moreover, leaders must have a sense of responsibility, when difficulties arise and crises arise, they must have the courage to take responsibility, be good at distributing benefits, and take responsibility when they fail. ”

Jiang Nanchun asked again: "Why is the company so big and so rich, and you still work so hard every day, getting up at 6 o'clock and being busy until 10 o'clock at night, or even 12 o'clock?" ”

Li Ka-shing: "The amount of money a person can use in his life is very limited, and I have always liked to live diligently and frugally, not to compare with others. When my two children were just over 10 years old, one winter I took them to the side of the road to see a 7-year-old girl. Because her parents were very poor, the girl set up a newsstand on the road after school in the afternoon, and sat on the ground and in the cold wind while selling newspapers and doing homework. I told my sons that if they could do that, they would succeed. ”

After eating a meal, everyone felt that they benefited a lot.

In fact, Li Ka-shing didn't eat much, and basically talked.

After the end, Li Ka-shing shook hands with everyone one by one, everyone present had to shake hands, and there was a waiter standing in the corner, and he also ran there to shake hands with him.

This scene reminded Lin Feng of a video he had seen in his previous life.

When Li Ka-shing's family was eating at home, when the nanny served the food, he would say "thank you" in English every time. "It's a small detail, a respect for the average service person, who has been practicing it for many years.......

After coming out, everyone was sighing that Li Ka-shing's unique personality charm was humble and thoughtful.

Fu Chengyu knows Li Ka-shing better because CNOOC and Yangtze River have a business and cooperative relationship, and said with emotion in the car: "This is Mr. Li's soft power, because he is thoughtful and sincere, so many people are willing to do business with him when they come to Hong Kong." ”

Everyone discussed a lot and believed that the source of Li Ka-shing's soft power was not related to his wealth, when he started his business, there were more people with more money than him, in fact, it was something other than money, it was his way of doing things, and it was exactly what he said, "creating self and pursuing selflessness" values.

This value is not spoken, but done, when you feel it, you will go out to speak, so that slowly a field will be formed, after the formation of this field, everyone is willing to do business with him, give him the best opportunity, so he is more and more successful, which forms soft power.

This dinner was very touching for Lin Feng.

He also knew that success was not a fluke, but he never thought about it carefully from the perspective of being a human being.

After all, all the way he has been seizing the "heavenly opportunity", deliberately grabbing everything he thinks needs to be obtained first, almost like cheating, all the way to the present.

From the point of view of making money, he is very successful, but from the perspective of business on the other hand, Lin Feng has nothing to be proud of.

In today's dinner, Lin Feng basically listened and did not speak.

To tell the truth, in his previous life, because of Li Ka-shing's "escape from China" incident, Lin Feng did not have special reverence for Li Ka-shing in his heart, even after befriending Li Zekai, visiting Li's house was also courteous, and he never seriously felt Li Ka-shing's special personality charm.

Business is humanity!

Lin Feng felt that this meal was more valuable than attending several lectures by business school professors!
