As Kaohsiung said, Mr. Larry, one of the owners of this company in Bollywood, is a very interesting person to meet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before the meeting, I thought that Mr. Larry was a veteran in the film industry, but after meeting, he was shocked. Because investing in a film company is just his side business.

His main business is actually a large construction company headquartered in New Delhi. This construction company is a strategic business partner of Kaohsiung.

Mr. Larry is an Indian man with beautiful white hair whose full name is Larry. Shook. Zen virtue.

Like his ancestors, he has been in business all his life, has a brilliant career, has a lot of money, and has a full house of children and grandchildren. Throughout his life, he also insisted on his belief in religion and the pursuit of religion.

He practiced a religion that few Chinese had heard of, and it was called Jainism. This religion is closely related to Buddhism, but it is not as influential and is basically a regional religion.

But in this article, I won't talk about Jainism yet. I mean Mr. Larry.

Mr. Larry didn't meet me much, but I was impressed every time.

He is well-educated, familiar with the rules of the game in European and American societies and the international market, has a good understanding of oriental culture, and respects ancient China.

He speaks English very beautifully, his tone is beautiful and noble, and he doesn't sound like an Indian accent, which is very much like a BBS gold medal male anchor. This is the result of studying in the UK and Cambridge since he was a child.

To my surprise, as a successful businessman, he was polite and honorable without any philistine and copper smell all over his body. He is very sincere in dealing with others, and he especially knows how to be grateful to others. What he promised to do, he will definitely complete it on time and with quality, and will never be compromised. Working with him is not only a pleasure, but also very reassuring. When I see him, I can't help but think of the "elder", or the gentleman who valued faith and righteousness in ancient times.

At the same time, Mr. Larry is also a very romantic person, and with him, there are often some small surprises that make people have to smile.

One thing that says a lot about Mr. Larry's character.

Once, Kaohsiung accompanied him back to the mainland. They stayed together in a hotel very close to where I had been published.

We had breakfast together, and then, we talked about business together. During this period, we had a rather serious disagreement on the specific handling of a matter.

We will each state our reasons and ways of thinking, and hope to reach an agreement.

But the interests of both of us are not aligned after all, so the process of coordination is very difficult.

For a while, the argument seemed to heat up. At the height of the heat, Larry looked a little anxious when he suddenly stepped out in the middle.

When he went out, Kaohsiung and I looked at each other, thinking that he had probably been enraged by our stubbornness.

By lunchtime, Kaohsiung and I felt a little unpleasant.

Although we still ate lunch together, the atmosphere between each other was a little stiff and we didn't talk much.

Towards the end of lunch, a waiter suddenly came up and asked who was Ms. So-and-so and who was Mr. So-and-so.

Kaohsiung and I looked at each other and said, "That's us." ”

The waiter said, "A guest just ordered this, and we have to bring this table near the end of lunch." ”

Then, Kaohsiung and I saw two huge bouquets of flowers.

Kaohsiung looked at the huge bouquet of flowers self-deprecatingly, and said to me in Chinese: "This is what I often use when chasing women, I can't imagine that someone else will use it on me, and it can be regarded as treating others in his own way." ”

Kaohsiung said whimsically: "Could it be that there is a beautiful woman in this hotel who has a crush on me?" ”

I laughed and kicked him under the table.

Then, I looked down at the cards underneath the bouquet. I saw it with words like this: "Despite our disputes, I love you very much." Because we have disputes, I have a great need to show that I love you. ”

I looked up at Larry when I saw the byline below.

At this time, I saw that Kaohsiung's eyes were also on him.

Larry is savoring his dim sum in high spirits. He smiled at us and shrugged.

I said to Kaohsiung in Chinese, "The beauty who has a crush on you is there." ”

Kaohsiung replied in Chinese: "This guy, there is a set." ”

That day, the matter was finally settled.

It turns out that no matter how serious the differences, there is no such thing as a completely irreconcilable situation.

The common ground is always there. It only depends on whether the love and respect that both parties have for each other is enough to support it to find it.

After meeting once or twice, and getting to know each other better, Mr. Larry said to me, "Idealism, you're walking a little too fast." It seems to be full of anxiety and contention. There is also too much emphasis on efficiency in doing things. This habit, while it can bring you business success, can hinder your life to the fullest. ”

I looked at him in amazement. I do have a problem with walking and talking too fast. But there was one thing he couldn't say for sure. What fills my heart is indeed anxiety, but it is not a desire to fight, but a mind to escape. I was in a hurry, not to grab something, but to turn around and run away. Escape from this world full of thousands of passions.

However, he has only met me once or twice, and he can tell me my inner state in one sentence, which is really sharp-eyed and good at understanding people.

He said to me, "Idealism, every time we meet, you arrive early. You pay special attention to the schedule. Of course I know that it's about respecting others and not wanting to waste their time. However, I still feel that you are a little too nervous. We are human beings, not machines, and we don't need to behave like machines. Life is for savoring and enjoying. A life that is too efficient, in fact, is a waste of good time. We Indians don't like to be in such a hurry. Life is short, there is nothing that must be busy, many things, it is good to do it or not to do it. Don't push yourself to do these do's and don'ts, and make yourself physically and mentally exhausted. I'd like to see you be a little more casual. ”

He said: "Do you feel the muscles of your body now, your eyebrows, your forehead, your scalp, your cheeks, your lips, your neck, your shoulders, your arms, your muscles? That's why the whole body is tired and sore. You have to learn to be aware that you are nervous and consuming energy at all times, and you have to learn to be relaxed at all times. All the muscle fibers are loose and stretched. The same is true of the state of the whole mind. Peaceful, relaxing, blank, open. Like clouds floating in the sky, like a breeze that comes and goes freely. ”

He said, "Remember the words of this old man of mine. Nervousness may lead you to success on small projects, but only by completely relaxing and having such a mindset can you achieve the most important success in life. ”

I enjoyed listening to Mr. Larry.

In his words, there is always an indescribable wisdom that attracts me.

Does this wisdom come from his life experience? Or is it his religion? Or is it both?

I'm curious.

Once, Mr. Larry asked me, "Do Chinese have religious beliefs?" ”

I said, "Yes." The vast majority of people believe in atheism, materialism, and science. ”

Larry laughed when he heard this. He said, "You're smart. I like your answer. Not believing in any religion and believing that all religions are superstitions is also a religious belief in itself. ”

I said, "Yes." They believe in atheism, materialism, and scientific fetishism. ”

Larry said, "Your name is idealism, don't you believe in materialism?" ”

I said, "I'm still proving it." ”

Larry said, "Proof what? ”

I said, "I want to prove that this world is a real world, a dream world." What exists in the sense is not necessarily the reality that exists. ”

Larry listened, and couldn't help but say again, "You're not just smart, you're very sharply smart." ”
