Chapter 652: The Philosophical Significance of the Bar Lifter (2/10 for the Stone Wood Addition)

Tuesday, September 13th.

Zhang Lixian took the video of the financial channel to the unique building of the city dawn.

And Li Shi is already waiting on the 11th floor of the building.

"Mr. Li, hello, hello!"

Zhang Lixian and Li Shi shook hands cordially, and Li Shi invited Zhang Lixian and the videographer in.

Entering the empty living room, Zhang Lixian was stunned.

This...... Is this a new house that has just moved in?

This is simply a home with four walls, just like the one that has just been robbed, how can people live?

Zhang Lixian was very confused.

When she heard that Mr. Li set the place of the interview in the city's Shuguang Community, she thought that this was Mr. Li's residence, after all, it was in the community, and it was obviously impossible to be an office location.

But when she came here, Zhang Lixian was puzzled again.

What does this look like a place to live?

There is no smoke at all.

As far as she knows, Mr. Li has been married a long time ago, and his sons are in junior high school, but there is no trace of his wife and son living in this place.

In other words, Li Shi didn't live here as his home, but just rented a house in a sloth apartment?

Why?

Is there anything special about this place?

Before Zhang Lixian started the interview, she naturally had a lot of questions.

Li Shi saw her doubts and smiled: "I know what you want to ask, don't worry, let's talk slowly." ”

Near the balcony there is a small coffee table for tea and two chairs, just right for interviews. Originally, the sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows made the lens a little backlit, but Li Shi solved it after adjusting the smart glass.

This time it was not a very formal news interview, but closer to an interview column, the program was relatively long, and the content of the conversation between the two people was relatively casual.

While recalling the question she was about to ask, Zhang Lixian couldn't help but look at the boxy black box on the coffee table.

What is this?

There's no way not to attract attention, the whole room is so big, there are basically no other furnishings, and this black box is too eye-catching on the coffee table.

Li Shi smiled: "I'll explain this thing later." ”

Zhang Lixian nodded, and decided to follow the normal process of interviewing first, anyway, if you are not satisfied with the results of the interview, you can reshoot.

After all the preliminary preparations were in place, the interview officially began.

Zhang Lixian had a lot of questions, such as why Mr. Li arranged the location of the interview here, what was going on in this room, what the black box was for, etc., but she still started to ask questions according to the questions prepared before.

"Mr. Li, you can be said to be a veteran of the venture capital industry in Jingzhou and even Handong, a witness to many wealth myths, and the Fuhui Capital founded has directly or indirectly helped many local industries in Jingzhou."

"You have also recently responded to the call and invested a lot of money in the old industrial area, which is the Palpitation Hostel."

"However, our companies and investors in Jingzhou were afraid to avoid this place, so why did you decide to invest here?"

Li Shi fell into reminiscence: "Actually, I wasn't optimistic about this place originally. But one day, Mr. Pei asked me, which project in Jingzhou is the project that investors are most reluctant to touch? ”

"I thought about it and said, it should be the old industrial area."

"Because at that time, the old industrial area was still a wasteland, with only a few abandoned factories, and it was far away on the outskirts of the city, and the location was very remote."

"I thought Mr. Pei was just joking, but Mr. Pei didn't say a word, and just voted for it!"

"So, I voted."

Zhang Lixian was stunned.

So...... Sloppy?

Mr. Pei voted, so you also voted? So what if Mr. Pei's investment fails?

"That'...... Why do you trust Mr. Pei so much? Zhang Lixian asked.

Li Shi smiled: "If you investigate in detail the investment of Mr. Pei's dream venture capital, you will find that his investment is very different from other people's investment!" ”

"There are only two outcomes of other people's investments, losing or gaining."

"And Mr. Pei's investment has only two results, earn now or earn later!"

"If you want to say that the most successful investment of Dream Venture Capital is to buy shares of the finger company, it is really the right time for each step, and the income has directly increased by more than 20 times!"

"To make an investment, you not only need courage, but also vision."

"An excellent investor must first be able to see opportunities, secondly, know how to grasp opportunities, and finally dare to seize opportunities!"

"And Mr. Pei has obviously achieved the ultimate in every link to invest in so many successful projects."

"Of course, before investing, Mr. Pei also repeatedly reminded me that this project will have a lot of risks, I thought about it, there is a risk, there is a risk, the transformation of the old industrial area is imperative, if it is really lost, it is equivalent to contributing to Jingzhou."

"As a native of Jingzhou, I was lucky enough to gain some wealth and give back to the society, which is how it should be."

Zhang Lixian nodded: "Mr. Li's mind is really admirable. I find that you seem to trust Mr. Pei very much? Does your trust come from Mr. Pei's brilliant investment performance, or does it also come from other places? ”

Li Shi was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, at the beginning, it was just because of Mr. Pei's brilliant investment achievements. At that time, I didn't have a deep understanding of why Mr. Pei and Dream Venture Capital could achieve so much success. ”

"But lately, I've come to understand more and more what the root of it all is, and I think this experience can be shared not only with investors, but also with all young people who are interested in making a career."

"The fundamental reason why Mr. Pei was able to achieve such results lies in his way of thinking!"

Zhang Lixian's eyes lit up: "Could you please tell me in detail?" ”

Li Shi smiled slightly: "This is a sloth apartment, which is Tengda's latest rental brand." But many people don't know that Mr. Pei also lives here, on the top floor of this building. All the furnishings in this room are exactly the same as Mr. Pei's room! ”

Zhang Lixian was stunned.

She really didn't expect that!

Everyone knows where Tengda's office is and where Mr. Pei's office is, but few people know the true face of Mr. Pei and where Mr. Pei lives.

"Mr. Pei's residence is the same as here? That's too simple, isn't it? How to live people? Zhang Lixian wondered.

Li Shi smiled: "I thought so at first. ”

"I was also surprised when I found out that Mr. Pei lived here, because the furnishings here are really too simple, so simple that it will have a certain impact on normal life."

"It's easy for people who live here to think that it's like a temple or a monastery, because there's no life at all."

"So, I also had doubts."

"With Mr. Pei's worth, it's easy to buy a luxury villa, why live in this kind of place?"

"So, with questions, I also lived here for more than half a month, and finally, I understood the deep meaning of Mr. Pei."

Li Shi deliberately sold a pass, and after a pause, he said, "This place is helpful for concentrating and thinking." And Mr. Pei lives here precisely because he wants to concentrate all his attention and think for a long time! ”

"This is not so much Mr. Pei's residence, but rather Mr. Pei's practice room and meditation room!"

"Mr. Pei's success is not an accident, but the result of diligent thinking day after day."

"He compressed his material comforts to a very low level, kept only the bare minimum necessities in the whole room, and lived such a minimalist life all the time, just to prevent those messy things from interfering with his thinking!"

"Without all these clutter, you can think more intently. Living in such an environment for a long time can develop this focused, long-term way of thinking. ”

"There is no investment genius in this world, Mr. Pei just uses all his time and thinks efficiently!"

"So, I'm trying to learn this 'simplifying' way of thinking now."

"I will come here a lot, think quietly alone, and I find a lot of problems that I couldn't figure out before, but I can figure it out quickly after coming here, because here, I can be distracted and nothing will interfere with me."

Zhang Lixian's face showed a sudden expression.

I see!

She was also very puzzled before, Pei is always the boss of Tengda Group, she can earn 500 million yuan with a single investment, what kind of house she can't afford to buy?

Although the area of this house is not small, it still does not match Mr. Pei's worth.

Moreover, Mr. Pei actually arranged his house so simply, with almost nothing superfluous, reminiscent of ascetics and seekers.

Is this reasonable?

Who doesn't like convenience, who doesn't like enjoyment?

Mr. Pei's Tengda Group is already a big business, and it stands to reason that it is a normal choice to enjoy life.

But Mr. Pei just didn't do that.

Obviously, Pei always has some very special purposes.

This puzzle was solved by Mr. Li, who is also an investor.

Obviously, Mr. Pei's success is not accidental, but the result of careful consideration.

And the reason why Mr. Pei can think deeper and farther than ordinary people is because he uses this extremely strict attitude to create such a space for himself to abandon some distractions and concentrate on thinking!

When other people's wives and children are hot at home, Mr. Pei is still here to seriously think about the future development direction of Tengda Group.

Zhang Lixian suddenly thought of a question and looked at the black box on the coffee table: "Then, what does this black box do?" ”

Li Shi didn't speak, but demonstrated it to Zhang Lixian.

With a quick press of a few metal sticks, the machine in the box automatically restores them one after the other.

Zhang Lixian fell into a daze: "This ......"

Li Shi explains: "It is a delicate craft. ”

"But there's something philosophical about it that helps us think better."

"There is also an identical one in Mr. Pei's room, I took a lot of effort to find the official website of this thing, but I didn't expect that it was also made by Dream Ventures!"

"In other words, most of this thing is a special custom invention of Mr. Pei."

"Its name is called Automatic Bar Lifter."

Zhang Lixian was still confused: "Automatic bar lifting machine? How can that be philosophical? How can it help us think better? ”

Li Shi turned the automatic bar lifting machine to Zhang Lixian and asked her to press it herself.

Zhang Lixian pressed for a minute and said suspiciously: "This ...... What's the point? It's a waste of time, huh? ”

Li Shi smiled slightly: "It doesn't make sense." ”

"Meaninglessness is its greatest significance."

"There is a traditional Taoist philosophy in this: the use of uselessness."

"Being able to make people aware that an action is meaningless is a meaning in itself."

"This thing is called a fully automatic bar lifting machine, which simulates the whole process of lifting the bar with others on the Internet."

"Now there are more and more bars on the Internet, and there are more and more meaningless arguments, especially public figures, it is really easy to get caught up in this kind of meaningless arguments."

"We're always used to arguing with people, but most of the time, a lot of people aren't arguing about right and wrong, they're arguing about what is right or wrong."

"Everyone doesn't really want to understand what the other person really means, they don't reflect on whether they are wrong, but they do everything they can to dig holes in each other's language and refute each other."

"So, we will find that arguing with others online can never reach a consensus."

"Arguing with these people is like lifting the bar with this automatic bar lifter. No matter how hard you try, it will lift the bar and come back, and you're just wasting your time. ”

As a thinker, it's easier to get caught up in this kind of meaningless argument. Because the more you think about it, the more angry you are at the stupidity of some people; The more you think about it, the easier it is to fall into the situation where you are stupid and unaware. ”

"Both the former and the latter are very dangerous, thinking brings us wisdom, but sometimes it also brings us paranoia and arrogance."

"And this machine is just to remind you that this is pointless, don't waste your time, and don't argue with the bars on the Internet."

"You just have to think hard and do your own thing."

"So, whenever I'm upset, I press it. I watched it keep raising the bar with me, reversing all the effort I had made, and finally I realized that I was wasting my time, that I was doing useless work. ”

"So, my negative emotions were vented, and I could calm down and continue thinking."

"Why didn't Mr. Pei leave any crafts and decorations in the room, but only it?"

"It's not just a craft or a work of art, it's also a 'mind zeroer' that works with the layout of the room and allows us to think better."

"In my opinion, it is the soul of this 'thinking space'!"
