The audience burst into applause.

Tang Yishu bowed deeply with some embarrassment and stepped down quickly.

But when I walked to the backstage, I accidentally tripped by the thread on the ground. Fortunately, I had prepared in advance and grabbed the curtain next to me, without any danger.

The students in the audience did not see this scene. They applauded and immersed in the content of their previous speech.

"What I said makes sense. The most precious wealth is not money, but attention?"

“Encouraging us to use this money to better improve ourselves and make better use of our attention is indeed better than simply encouraging frugality, saving, or ‘buy what we like’!”

"It's true that Mr. Pei is so successful, it's not because of luck!"

"Has anyone recorded it?"

"I recorded it, and I went back to sort it out and sent it to the forum on campus, and then I would like to understand it carefully!"

The students originally thought that this lecture was the same as many previous lectures on wealth, focusing on "how to use money".

This is indeed what most people think of when talking about "wealth".

However, Mr. Pei’s letter provides a new perspective, which is to know how to use their attention, because in fact, people are using their attention to create wealth.

The more terrible thing than squandering money is to squander your attention, because squandering money will only cause you to lose the money at hand, and squandering attention will damage your ability to create value.

This speech is very short, without long speeches or blunt preaching. It just provides a brand new perspective that many people may not notice, so it is easier to be accepted by ordinary people.

Human Resources Department of Tengda Group.

Wu Bin and Cui Geng are sorting out the latest manuscripts.

The two people have a clear division of labor. Wu Bin is responsible for collecting materials and determining the interviewees, while Cui Geng is responsible for making the recordings into text and systematically sorting them out.

These materials will become materials for interpreting Tengda's spirit, and can also be used as records of Mr. Pei's way of dealing with things.

"Recently, Mr. Pei's speech seems to be very popular at the on-campus forum of Handong University. Are you also considering adding it to the material?" Cui Geng asked.

Wu Bin thought for a moment and shook his head: "Don't hurry."

"The influence of this manuscript is currently only among the student groups of Handong University. Strictly speaking, this manuscript only has theory and no specific examples, and its persuasiveness will be much worse."

"The most important point is that this manuscript may not be written by Mr. Pei."

"Although if Mr. Pei wants to write, this kind of manuscript must be easy to get, Mr. Pei is too busy. This manuscript may be done by Assistant Xin."

Cui Geng thought for a while: "But even if Assistant Xin was working on his behalf, the affirmation he expressed was Mr. Pei's idea, which was almost the same."

Wu Bin thought for a while: "Well... it's right. In short, this factor can be taken into account, but it must be carefully identified. After all, what we want to write is to pay attention to Tengda's spirit, and it must be reasonable and well-founded."

The progress of the two people was not fast, and it could even be said to be very slow.

Because this time we need to use some specific examples to interpret Mr. Pei's thoughts and Tengda spirit, we must avoid some ambiguous interpretations, and all content must be documented.

For example, the evaluation of Mr. Li and others can be used as a credential.

Some specific examples that Mr. Pei has done can also be used as a credential.

Combining these two types of credentials will be more authentic and trustworthy.

But if it is just a speech, it is still not suitable to write it into this booklet before finding the right evidence.

"It's time to leave."

Wu Bin looked at his watch and they made an appointment with Liang Qingfan today. It was almost time to set off.

Wu Bin also carefully selected the candidates for the interview.

Mr. Li of Fuhui Capital can be seen as the perspective of Mr. Pei’s business competitors and partners, while Liang Qingfan can be seen as the perspective of elites in other fields who have just cooperated with Mr. Pei.

Among all the department heads, Liang Qingfan has spent the shortest time with Mr. Pei. This first impression may lead to some inspiration.

...

Half an hour later, Wu Bin and Cui Geng arrived at Building 9, Binhu Community.

Both buildings here are under intense construction. From the outside, the buildings that have not lived in for several years seem very dilapidated. The construction team is working intensively, and from time to time, noises such as drilling holes and smashing walls are heard.

After waiting downstairs for two minutes, Liang Qingfan, wearing a hard hat, got off from the upper floor.

After handing the safety helmet to a worker on the scene, Liang Qingfan smiled and said to Wu Bin and Cui Geng: "The construction site is too messy, so let's go to the nearby park."

The three of them came to the artificial lakeside of the park and sat down on the bench.

Wu Bin said: "Mr. Liang, we are here today mainly to interview your impression of Mr. Pei."

Wu Bin had contacted Liang Qingfan on the phone before, so the two of them had prepared for what they were going to talk about today.

Liang Qingfan looked at the rippling lake water and sighed: "To be honest, so far, I still can't understand Mr. Pei at all."

Wu Bin smiled and said, "It's okay, it's normal."

"If President Pei would be seen so easily, then he would not be President Pei."

"We look for different interviewees in order to collect the impressions of Mr. Pei as much as possible from different groups of people, and combine these impressions to obtain a complete and comprehensive image."

"We have interviewed Mr. Pei's business competitors and partners before, and it is very rewarding."

"For us, because we are internal employees and have worked under President Pei for a long time, we can only see one side of President Pei."

"You have just arrived at Tengda Group and have not been working with Mr. Pei for a long time. Your first impression will definitely be inspiring to us."

Liang Qingfan nodded: "Okay, then I'll just say it briefly."

"At present, I can be sure that some of Mr. Pei's ideas are highly consistent with me, or with some excellent designers. In other words, Mr. Pei is a person who pursues the ultimate."

"This has been reflected in the decoration process of the sloth apartment."

Liang Qingfan briefly described the decoration design of several sloth apartments so far, especially focusing on Mr. Pei's behavior in pursuing the "ultimate simple style" to achieve the ultimate effect.

"The same is true for the houses now."

"Mr. Pei's thinking is completely opposite to that of ordinary people. When ordinary people choose houses, they will pay more attention to the location and value-added attributes of the house. When it comes to decoration, they often save as much as possible. After all, this is planned to rent it out, not for them to live in it."

"But Mr. Pei is just the opposite. He does not seem to value the location and value-added attributes of the house. Instead, the money spent on decoration accounts for nearly half of the value of the house itself."

"I think this fully shows that Mr. Pei's pursuit of artistic quality is at its peak and never ends."

"People himself prefer this minimalist style, so they put their personal preferences into the sloth apartment project."

"Although this may lead to failure, Mr. Pei obviously does not intend to compromise, but insists on his requirements for ultimate art..."

Hearing this, Wu Bin's brow frowned slightly.

Liang Qingfan noticed this keenly and did not continue talking, but waited for Wu Bin's response.

Wu Bin pondered for a long time and said, "But... in this way, there was a conflict with Mr. Li's description."

"According to Mr. Li, Pei is always a calm, even cruel person. This calmness makes President Pei think about problems in an absolutely objective and rational way and make correct decisions under any circumstances."

"In other words, Mr. Pei should be considering this extremely simple style because he should be based on business considerations. He must believe that this approach can achieve greater success."

"And, Mr. Li's conclusion has many cases as support, which should be very credible."

Liang Qingfan was silent for a moment: "I think it is almost impossible for the sloth apartment model to achieve 'greater success'. It is at most a small and beautiful project that earns reputation."

Wu Bin fell into deep thought.

What both sides say seems to make sense.

Seeing the interview deadlock, Cui Geng said: "Maybe...these two impressions of Mr. Pei do not conflict? Maybe these two points are an aspect of Mr. Pei, but in places we can't see, they are perfectly integrated?"

"Just like Mr. Pei can always turn decay into magic, making many seemingly impossible projects that are popular overnight."

Wu Bin nodded: "Well... makes sense!"

"These two contradictory views seem to be able to study them carefully..."

Friday, July 1.

The Jingji Hostel project is officially completed!

Pei Qian stood in the old industrial area, oh no, now it should be called the entrance of Jingji Hostel, and his mood is very complicated.

When he came before, the entire project was still under intense construction, with scaffolding and various building materials everywhere. It was a completely busy construction site, and there was no sign of changes.

But now, Jingji Hostel and the surrounding supporting facilities have been completed before and after, and have initially become a state where tourists can be received!

Although Pei Qian was mentally prepared, he was still greatly impacted in his vision.

In just a few months, the changes can be so big!

This is probably the shock that the "infrastructure madman" gives people.

Of course, Pei Qian had this idea mainly because of the disruption of Mr. Li and others, which completely disrupted his original deployment.

Because Pei Qian's original idea was to lose money in a corner of the desolate and dilapidated old industrial area.

However, Mr. Li and other investors built supporting facilities around the haunted house and renovated the surrounding ground. The situation was different in an instant.

Pei Qian also felt unsure.

It seems so reliable, can you still lose money?

I worked hard for two cycles, so don't be idle in the end...

Pei Qian sighed silently and walked in.
Chapter completed!
