Master brother Chen Mingjian, fifteen years older than me, rejoiced at first sight, and could not leave at first sight. The long-lost Tongtai breath is enthusiastic, like the water in the sky and the dragon among the people. An Zhi and I respect him as a master brother, because of Tsinghua alumni, but also because of kindness. There are five impressions of the master brother, and the skimming is as follows.
First, his eyes are clear
Master Brother is a person in the financial industry, the founder of Beijing Oriental Gaosheng Holdings Co., Ltd., who was hired as a financial consultant for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and was awarded the "Golden Hand", specializing in the art industry; He also served as an industry lecturer at Tsinghua Wudaokou Institute of Finance and the chairman of Minzhi International Research Institute, and led the merger and reorganization of high-growth enterprises to be selected as a classic MBA teaching case, and has monographs such as "Transaction", "Route", "M&A Revolution" and so on.
I don't know anything about investment banking and trading, eighteen streets away, but reading Master Brother's "Fifty-Nine Transactions", I also seem to understand something, and I am full of interest in this line. What attracted me? Probably because I read these fifty-nine articles and I know a little bit about philosophy and religion, there is a common point. The writing of the "Fifty-Nine Articles of Transactions" is philosophical and implicit, transparent and white, or because it touches the source of living water, there is no difference in the cave. What is happening in the world, what is happening, what else is happening, he seems to have always had a keen observation, a deep thinking and a grasp of the whole, seeing the whip and walking, seeing the opportunity and sending, and the middle of the knot.
Such a master brother, living in various places, will have a haircut. In a year and a half in Jerusalem, he visited a wide variety of Jewish families and institutions, including Nobel Laureates, political dignitaries, cultural experts, university presidents, security captains, grandmothers, and so on, with whom he drank wine, ate in the hearth, and advanced his thinking on education, deep learning, and innovation in in-depth conversations. He recognized that the Jewish people's innovative model was rooted in the tradition of Judaism that had been cultivated for thousands of years to promote scripture and emphasize speculation. Master brother observes others in order to enhance himself, he has a comprehensive view of Chinese cultural traditions and the current situation of education, and understands the practical significance of "returning to the roots and opening up a new" with deep soil and deep roots.
He was clear.
Second, he has the whole world in mind
"Innovation, Start with Asking Questions" begins with Spinoza's words, which immediately establishes the character of this issue of visits and thinking. The 17th-century Jewish-Dutch philosopher said, "For things that involve human things, don't laugh, don't cry, don't get angry, understand." "What else can we say? For the attitude of philosophers, the embrace of the world, the eyes of God! On the back of this sentence is a photo of the master brother, sitting on a simple white chair, open air, ten fingers crossed on the leg surface, eyes through the glasses to look forward slightly upwards, calm, vast, safe. What was he thinking? What did he experience? What was he feeling? In this photo, there seems to be no him, no Chen Mingjian, but only Ning Ding, Guang Guang, and Anran.
He admired the "Rutgers" of ancient Greece and the "Tao" of China, and he admired Spinoza's "Ethics", which logically introduced the consistency of "God" and "nature" from only six definitions and seven axioms, so that God materialized into the entire universe. "If we replace the concept of 'God' with the Eastern 'Tao,' Spinoza's Ethics proves the consistency of 'Tao' with 'nature.'" For the first time in the history of philosophy, 'Taoist nature' has been proved with Euclid reasoning," the master brother shared happily in the book.
He admired the "parallel logic" of Judaism, where A may be right, non-A may be right, A and non-A may be right. This logic opens up a parallel space and promotes people's deep thinking and tolerance. He admired the many, embraced the different, and appreciated the opposite. This is reminiscent of the "eat tea and go" public case that shines in the history of Zen Buddhism: a monk came to ZhaoZhou, and Zhao Zhou Zen master asked, "Have you been here recently?" "I've been here." The master said, "Eat tea and go." Then he asked the monk, who said, "I have not arrived." Master: "Eat tea and go." The owner of the backyard asked, "Why did you go to Yeyun to eat tea, but never to Yeyun to eat tea?" The master summoned the lord of the house, and the lord answered, "Eat tea and go." After a thousand years, Zhao Pu commented: The whisk is always vertical, and it is inexhaustible in ordinary life. Ten thousand words and a thousand words, do not eat tea outside. At this point, Master Brother should be able to feel good.
He was passionate.
Third, he walked in a raw way
"Today's wine tasting, no one is allowed to leave. There is a change of the contract, there will be pushed! As soon as the master brother pushed the door in, the air shook with joy. He knows food, taste, enjoys the sweetness of wine, and is even more happy to meet and drink. He walked on the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem with a resolute back. He has the courage to question, but also has the ability to build, the goal is fearless, the result does not matter, he is a whole life, fresh clothes and angry horses. The master brother believes that Einstein's ability to make outstanding scientific contributions and social work achievements lies first in "his courage to be fearless of others, and his endurance to not be afraid of setbacks", this courage and perseverance, down-to-earth, cheerful.
The master brother is talking about business, seeing through the basic values of the Talmud is an economic value, using the perspective of business and economy to judge the system and determine the rules; He also gained insight into the "uselessness" of learning, and saw the more fundamental values of the Jewish nation: there is a crown of kings in the world, dazzling; But the crown of learning is much more glorious than the crown of the king, and it shines through the ages. The master brother is smart and clear-cut, and he does not drag the mud and water when he speaks and acts. The conversations were staggered, the words were laughed back, and the guests and friends discussed various topics. I felt that the master brother between the banquet and the master brother between the lines were consistent. On his body, there is a spring wind and horseshoe, heroic and refreshing, and the air runs through the clouds, but it has nothing to do with wine.
He was happy.
Fourth, he is drunk in his dreams
Master Brother seems to be able to appreciate all the sincere and beautiful things, and the heart and eyes dwell in a certain mood. He was touched by the words of an old Jewish grandmother, who had 5 children, 38 grandchildren, and more than 60 great-grandchildren. The old grandmother said, "The child was raised by the parents and the three of God together." "Children belong only to their parents for a period of time, and after experiencing the rite of passage, they must make decisions for themselves, no longer belong to their parents, but to God." The master brother obviously felt that these words were full of strength and beauty, and he carefully wrote down the insights that the old grandmother had tempered from her life experience.
When it comes to raising children, the grandmother thinks, "Maybe parents are the real problem." You don't train your children to adapt to life, because there will always be people who will hurt your feelings, there will always be people who will insult you, there will always be girls who will reject you, and your teachers will get angry with you. A life without adversity is not a real life. She couldn't imagine six adults staring at a child, how much pressure it would be! She found that "within the extended family, every child learns how to cope with the difficulties of the outside world." ”
It can be inferred that when the old grandmother told the story, the master brother must have listened to it with relish. Wandering through this beautiful mood with certain rules, the words flowed from his pen, which seemed particularly fresh and warm. Just as the intuitiveness of the landform of the wine region, the lingering of Huang Binhong's brushwork, the master brother treats people with things, always "present", he does not act, so there is no separation, as a listener, an aesthetician, he himself has become a part of beauty. Bian Zhilin said, "You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people who watch the scenery look at you under the bridge." The bright moon decorates your window, you decorate other people's dreams. "Master brother looks at the scenery, and he himself becomes a landscape.
He was serene.
Fifth, he was born early
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." The classic lines of "Spider-Man" are all the rage, not to mention the ancient hot sausages like Master Brother. He was diligent in his upward movement and diligent in his downward movement. He found that "the Jews were not chosen by God, but chosen by learning." "He knows how important learning opportunities are to people. Mem, a Jewish cultural promoter, said: "Opportunity is the most needed thing in a person's life, and if you have the opportunity and use it, you can constantly improve yourself." "Mem wants to bring quality education to more people, because education means valuable opportunities.
The master brother is also doing the same thing, he is in charge of the International Research Institute of People's Wisdom, uniting friends from all walks of life, actively building platforms and creating opportunities to promote the meeting of China's wisdom minds, and jointly committing to the leadership of a benign atmosphere and the improvement of social and people's livelihood. Israel's innovative agriculture is a world wonder, with numerous patent projects and farmers often agricultural engineers. The master brother visited the agricultural school in Israel, looked at the connection between man and land in the context of science and technology, and thought about the extent to which the pluralistic model developed by Chinese was feasible. Good education casts the backbone of the nation. Master Brother continues to pay attention to the theme of education, he observes, compares, thinks, tries, and does his best to add bricks and tiles to China's present and future. Master brother was born early.
He's affectionate.
The old monk said that this Chen Jushi was a character. Me and Anzhi are beautiful in their hearts, this "character" is our master brother. If you use one sentence to describe the master brother, what should you use? Anzhi said: Opening the Heavenly Shore Horse. (Fortunately, we also met with the "handsome man in the dragon" who could be lifted.) ）
Mr. Nan Huaijin has a party seal, the seal reads"May the heavens live forever and good people, and people will do good deeds"; I did not do more, but also imitated one side, added a word, and became "may the heavens live forever and be fun, and people will be funny." In my eyes, the master brother is good and fun. May there be more "master brothers" in this world, even a few more. Maybe it's a luxury, but let this extravagance come first!
