Chapter 1 All Eyes on Me

The whole place erupted in applause.

Tang Yishu bowed deeply, slightly embarrassed, and quickly stepped down from the stage.

But as she walked backstage, she accidentally tripped over a wire on the floor. Fortunately, she had been prepared and grabbed the nearby curtain, avoiding a mishap.

The students below the stage didn't see this. They applauded, still immersed in the content of the previous speech.

"What she said makes a lot of sense. The most valuable asset isn't money, but attention?"

"Encouraging us to use this money to better ourselves and make better use of our attention is definitely better than simply encouraging thrift, saving, or 'buying what we like'!"

"President Pei's success clearly isn't based on luck!"

"Did anyone record it?"

"I did. I'll transcribe it into a written version and post it on the school forum so we can all understand it better!"

The students had originally thought that this lecture would be like many previous lectures about wealth, focusing on "how to use money."

This is indeed what most people think about when they talk about "wealth."

However, President Pei's letter offered a completely new perspective: learning to use your attention, because in reality, people are using their attention to create wealth.

What's more frightening than squandering money is squandering your attention, because squandering money only loses you the money you have on hand, while squandering attention damages your ability to create value.

This speech was short, without lengthy dissertations or heavy-handed preaching. It simply offered a new perspective that many people might not notice, making it easier for ordinary people to accept.

June 29th, Wednesday.

Tengda Group Human Resources Department.

Wu Bin and Cui Geng were sorting out recent manuscripts.

The two had a clear division of labor: Wu Bin was responsible for collecting materials and determining interviewees, while Cui Geng was responsible for transcribing the recordings into text and systematically organizing them.

These materials would become materials for interpreting the Tengda spirit, and could also serve as a record of President Pei's way of doing things.

"President Pei's recent speech seems to be very popular on the Handong University campus forum. Should we consider adding it to the materials?" Cui Geng asked.

Wu Bin considered for a moment and shook his head: "Let's hold off for now."

"The influence of this manuscript is currently limited to the student population of Handong University, and strictly speaking, this manuscript only has theory, no specific examples, so it will be much less convincing."

"The most crucial point is that this manuscript may not have been written by President Pei."

"Although President Pei could definitely write this kind of manuscript easily, he's too busy. It's possible that Assistant Xin wrote it on his behalf."

Cui Geng thought for a moment: "But even if Assistant Xin wrote it, it must be expressing President Pei's ideas. It's pretty much the same."

Wu Bin thought for a moment: "Hmm... you're right. In short, we can consider this factor, but we must carefully screen it. After all, what we're writing is for the Tengda spirit, so it must be well-founded."

The two weren't making rapid progress; in fact, they were moving very slowly.

Because this time they were going to interpret President Pei's ideas and the Tengda spirit with some specific examples, they had to avoid any ambiguous interpretations, and all content had to be verifiable.

For example, the comments of President Li and others could be used as evidence.

Some specific examples of what President Pei had done could also be used as evidence.

The combination of these two types of evidence would be more real and credible.

But if it's just a speech, it's not suitable to be written into this booklet until suitable corroboration is found.

"Time to go."

Wu Bin looked at his watch. They had scheduled an interview with Liang Qingfan today, and it was almost time to leave.

Wu Bin was very selective about the people he chose to interview.

President Li of Fuhui Capital could be seen as President Pei's business competitor and partner's perspective, while Liang Qingfan could be seen as the perspective of other elites in the field who had just cooperated with President Pei.

Among all the department heads, Liang Qingfan had the shortest time with President Pei, and this first impression might provide some inspiration.

...

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

The two buildings here were under intense construction. From the outside, the buildings, which hadn't been inhabited for several years, looked very dilapidated. The construction team was working hard, and there was a constant noise of electric drills and wall smashing.

After waiting downstairs for two minutes, Liang Qingfan, wearing a safety helmet, came down from the building.

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. Let's go to the nearby park."

The three came to the artificial lake in the park and sat down on a bench.

Wu Bin said, "Mr. Liang, we're here today mainly to interview you about your impressions of President Pei."

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

Liang Qingfan looked at the shimmering lake and said with emotion, "To be honest, I still don't understand President Pei at all."

Wu Bin smiled: "That's okay, it's normal."

"If President Pei could be seen through so easily, then he wouldn't be President Pei."

"We're looking for different interviewees in order to collect as many different people's impressions of President Pei as possible, and combine all these impressions to get a complete and comprehensive image."

"We've already interviewed President Pei's business competitors and partners, and it's been very rewarding."

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

"You've only just arrived at Tengda Group and haven't worked with President Pei for long. Your first impression will definitely be enlightening to us."

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

"So far, one thing I can be sure of is that some of President Pei's ideas are highly consistent with mine, or rather, with some excellent designers. In other words, President Pei is a person who pursues the ultimate."

"This has already been reflected in the decoration process of the Sloth Apartments."

Liang Qingfan briefly described the decoration and design of several Sloth Apartments so far, especially focusing on President Pei's behavior of decisively abandoning many practical and residential attributes in order to achieve the ultimate effect in pursuing "extreme minimalist style."

"Including these few buildings now, it's the same."

"President Pei's thinking is completely the opposite of ordinary people. When ordinary people choose a house, they pay more attention to the location and appreciation potential of the house, but they often save as much as possible on the decoration, after all, it's for rent, not for themselves."

"But President Pei is the opposite. He doesn't seem to value the location and appreciation potential of the house, but the money spent on decoration is almost half the value of the house itself."

"I think this fully shows that President Pei's pursuit of artistry is the ultimate and endless."

"President Pei himself has a great preference for this minimalist style, so he has incorporated his personal preferences into the Sloth Apartments project."

"Although this is very likely to lead to failure, President Pei obviously doesn't intend to compromise, but insists on his requirements for ultimate art..."

Hearing this, Wu Bin's brows furrowed slightly.
