Chapter 124: Despicable (End)
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, how can life be smooth sailing?
Gui Ming, who is only 26 years old this year, can be said to be windy and rainy before the age of 23, admitted to Peking University at the age of 18, successfully started a business at the age of 20, has tens of millions of assets at the age of 22, and drives a Porsche of more than 1 million.
Since the age of twenty-three, I have been worried about money, and it is not enough to fill the money of Internet cafes and software companies in e-commerce, and the debt collection calls in the bank are ringing endlessly every day. Seeing that it was almost the end of the year, Gui Ming, who had been in the limelight for a few years, sold all his cars and houses, and barely scraped together a sum of money to pay off the salaries of his employees.
If, if.
But there is no 'if' in this world, and there is no 'if', just like Li Jiaming sometimes ridicules him and Guo Yuelin, life is a toss, and if you don't move, you will go into the coffin. Gui Ming, who has experienced ups and downs and is used to smooth sailing, deeply realized what Li Jiaming said in the dormitory at the beginning: Successful people have their own way to success, and it is impossible to really succeed by luck alone.
Road!
Getting rich may be a coincidence, but if you want to succeed, you must have a way, no matter what the way is, this way definitely exists anyway.
Today, Gui Ming specially came to listen to Li Jiaming's speech, just to hear what he had in his heart. But Gui Ming was disappointed, Li Jiaming did not talk about success at all, but talked about his real history of struggle, and then used the history of struggle to draw out 'no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and going evil for good is a thing'.
These four sentences taught Guiming to know, and I saw them in Li Jiaming's notebook, they are as strong and powerful as a copybook, but this is the way to his success?
"Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing.
We may never be able to become saints like our ancestors, but we can be virtuous people to win the trust of our friends and partners. Even if we do something out of desperation, the other person will put themselves in their shoes. The key is where is your bottom line? Your bottom line will not be accepted by others!
Students, this is an era of openness and mutual cooperation. Our success must be built on working with people, and if we want to work with people, we must trust. If you break through the basic moral bottom line, IMHO, even if you can gain fame and fortune for a while, you will quickly become a laughing stock.
Why?
There is no stupid person in the world, especially someone who has achieved a little, even if luck makes it happen, it is definitely not much stupider than you. Intrigues and tricks can succeed for a while, but once they are exposed, you will pay a terrible price, that is, you will never be able to build a relationship of mutual trust with people.
Without basic trust in each other, how do you collaborate with people? ”
As soon as Li Jiaming's words fell on the stage, the audience was silent, and the students who had not yet walked out of the school gate were thoughtful, and they had already writhed in the society.
"What did I rely on to achieve today's achievements? In collaboration with others, the previous ones selling winter bamboo shoots and edible mushrooms were just some cleverness, and the later Sohu, Lifang, and Hanhua didn't rely on professionals?
Lao Zhang is below, when we started a business together, he managed the company and was in charge of technology, I was only in charge of financing, and then I was in charge of specific business. The tongue and teeth are still fighting, not to mention two big men who are good-tempered on the face and arrogant in their bones, and we almost rolled up our sleeves and fought several times.
But every time we were ready to dry up, we were always able to take a step back from each other, and this is what Sohu is today. The reason why we can compromise is because we have a basic trust between us, knowing that the other party is a fair person and will not do some bullshit and bad things. ”
The past is vivid, although it is not long away, but when I recall the instant noodles and roast duck at the beginning, especially Li Jiaming, who was as terrible as a fierce beast that night, it is like a world away. The old Zhang in the audience couldn't help but applaud lightly, and Sun Weigang, who was already noble, also playfully shouted: "Second brother, the boss will definitely not be able to beat you!" ”
"Come on, don't think I don't know you're a black belt in judo. Lao Tzu beat your boss, don't you kid fight with Lao Tzu? ”
Banditry, the two people on and off the stage are full of gangsterism, but one is a double master's degree in MIT, and the other is a doctoral student at Stanford, but their laughter set off the difficulties of starting a business at the beginning, and won a round of applause from the audience and in front of the TV. The propaganda reports on TV and newspapers always focus on the scenery of these domestic IT heroes and turn over their glorious pasts.
When the applause from the audience gradually stopped, Li Jiaming continued to talk about his understanding of Wang Mingyang's psychology.
"Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and by extension, knowing can be interpreted as 'cognitive', and conscience is the real cognitive model, not necessarily the correct cognitive model. Objectively speaking, the difference between people does not lie in appearance, skin color, or even in education and ability, but in the difference in their cognitive patterns.
Is it good to smoke, of course it's not good, but why do I still smoke? It must be the deepest part of my heart, I don't think there's anything wrong with smoking, so I continue to smoke, not what I say. All we need to do is to find the right cognition in our hearts, and then turn it into 'action', which is the so-called unity of knowledge and action, but this is very difficult.
For another analogy, a parent asks his son, 'What do you want to do when you grow up?' ’
The son replied, 'Pursue money and beautiful women.' ’
The parent slapped him and scolded angrily: 'Say it again. ’
The son had no choice but to say with tears in his eyes: 'Pursue career success and love. ’
That's pretty much it. ’”
After a pause again, Li Jiaming teased: "Let's think about it, how many people have experienced such a thing? Perhaps, your motivation to pursue career success is for money and beauty? ”
This question is not easy to answer, everyone has a hypocritical side, Li Jiaming dares to admit in public that the motivation to struggle is for money and beautiful women, but there are not many people with his courage, even on college campuses.
"Hehe, it's good, I saw Lao Zhang laughing, and a few classmates were squeezing their eyebrows, it seems that the species of 'real villain' is not extinct. In fact, no matter which statement is made, it is the same in terms of 'action', but in the minds of parents, there are two 'cognitions', which one is right?
Of course it's the parents, is it feasible? In my guess, if the child struggles according to his first statement, he will definitely succeed, but if he does what the parents want, nine times out of ten it will achieve nothing.
Why? In my opinion, the first statement proves that the child knows what he wants in his heart, and it is enough to work directly towards that goal; And the second thought, which casts a layer of sacredness over what he wants, will make people shackle and hold back at critical moments. ”
The people in the audience have extremely high IQs, although Li Jiaming did not say it explicitly, they all know what he means. It is easy to know and difficult to do, in fact, it is difficult to know, and in many cases, the correct cognition and the real cognition in everyone's heart are not the same thing at all, let alone turn 'knowledge' into 'action'.
For example, Li Jiaming himself, when he chased Zhao Wei, he studied and analyzed, and then did what he liked, and it was easy to get a beauty; Replaced by Liu Shasha, if he also follows the original routine, there is a chance that he will get his wish, but can he turn 'knowledge' into 'action'?
In the final analysis, it is still 'easy to break the mountain, but it is difficult to break the heart'.
This is the end of the speech. After all, this is a formal occasion, and only half of what is said is true, otherwise it is politically incorrect and inconsistent with mainstream values.
