Chapter 418 A somewhat "modest" interview
Chapter 418 A somewhat "modest" interview
"Do you usually spend money? Or do you have any luxuries?"
"Spend money, of course you spend it, after all, isn't what you earn meant to be spent?"
"Only taking in and never giving out, isn't that just being a miser?"
Shen Fei's words immediately piqued the interest of the group, after all, the daily life of the world's richest man... was something to look forward to.
But the photographer had a bad feeling; he felt that Shen Fei's answer might not be what they expected.
"Eating, taking a bus, paying water and electricity bills."
Oh, right, I just bought a new TV last month from Transsion Smart Home. The experience is excellent, and I even got an internal discount, saving 300 yuan.
He immediately turned to the camera and added:
"Transsion Smart Home's TVs are great, everyone should buy them, the experience is excellent."
This finally made Dong Qian burst out laughing. Although he was a professional, Shen Fei's serious demeanor made her feel... a bit like a turtle trying to hold in the toilet!
Shen Fei didn't urge him, picked up his cup, took a sip, and waited for him to finish laughing.
After all, the first topic is just for casual conversation; you can say whatever you want.
"Mr. Shen, you're the most frugal person in the world, and you're the company boss, yet you still need to use internal pricing to save 300 yuan?"
"Young comrade, that's where you're wrong!"
Although I am the person in charge of the company, there are data on the procurement of parts, whether they are scrapped or good products. This is related to our company's normal tax filing.
We would also like to remind other startups that tax evasion is a major taboo and should never be tolerated!
Shen Fei was very serious, and Dong Qian quickly clapped.
"That's right. Paying taxes according to the law is the duty of every citizen, and we need to learn from Mr. Shen in this regard."
After finishing that opening topic, Dong Qian composed herself again and moved on to a more formal question.
"Mr. Shen, Forbes says in its notes that $3 trillion is the minimum estimate. If we use the conventional valuation, your wealth could be between $6 trillion and $10 trillion."
We also know that this number is so large that it has lost its reference value.
What do you think is the meaning of wealth?
This is a very important question. Shen Fei has several answers in mind, but he still needs to integrate them to figure out which answer best reflects his value in this positive interview.
So he asked Reporter Dong instead, "Reporter Dong, do you know what the most valuable thing about Transsion is?"
"Some of these things, such as chips, systems, and screens, have brought breakthroughs to the country, while others have put us back at the forefront of the world!"
I believe that the roots of these recorded messages are also the goals you have been striving for.
"Neither."
Shen Fei shook his head.
"Our most valuable asset is our engineers, who have been with Transsion for five years, and some will stay longer."
The skills you possess and the experience you have in your mind cannot be bought with money.
For example, we have completed several orders for Taishan chips, and each generation has been built upon the foundations laid by the previous generation.
When our Taishan 900 first came out, it faced huge skepticism, but we were not afraid because we were confident in our technology.
Because the technology was all developed bit by bit by Professor Li Jiahui and his team of engineers.
Dong Qian was unconsciously drawn into Shen Fei's emotions, and then she clapped unconsciously.
When the Taishan 900 was launched, it immediately won the title of global performance king, leaving Qualcomm in its dust.
"Forbes valued me at $3 trillion, but I don't see it that way."
This money doesn't belong to me; it belongs to tens of thousands of engineers at Transsion.
They acquired this wealth through their technology; I am merely a nominee holder. The fact that this wealth is temporarily in my name does not mean I can squander it at will.
What I need to do is ensure that this money goes back to where it belongs, giving back to technological innovation, to basic science, and to those who are truly doing research!
Dong Qian clapped again in admiration! If an ordinary person said this, it might just be a professional clapping, but she believed Shen Fei's words.
Because that's what was said in the transmission, and that's what was done.
She believes that once the report is released, it will generate a huge response.
After all, that sentence is so inspiring.
"So you don't think this money is yours?"
"right.
This money belongs to society. Society concentrates resources on Transsion because Transsion can use these resources to create greater value.
If communication can no longer create value, society will take back the resources.
When Shen Fei said this, he didn't worry like other entrepreneurs that he was no longer the richest man and that his money would gradually decrease.
He seemed to have a very open mind, a level of enlightenment that was not expected for someone his age.
"Take banks for example. Most people just put their money in there and it's just a number with a fixed interest rate, but some people choose to take out loans from them to achieve their goals."
The same applies to Transsion's money. If it's just kept in a bank, it's useless to society. But if it's put in the right places, it can become chips, screens, new technological breakthroughs, and research projects in university labs that haven't received funding for 10 years.
Dong Qian clapped again and took the initiative to bring up the question that Forbes was most looking forward to.
"What are your views on wealth distribution? Some say the gap between the rich and the poor is too large. What's your opinion?"
This issue is not so simple. After all, although netizens were not fooled, it does not mean that they have no thoughts in their hearts.
They also wanted to know how Shen Fei viewed this issue. In the question selection session before the live broadcast, this question was selected as the number one with the highest number of votes.
Shen Fei knew what this question meant, so he thought about it and, drawing on his past experience, gave a brief explanation.
"It is a fact that the gap between the rich and the poor has widened."
This is a very normal problem in every country, and it is also a problem that needs to be solved.
However, I don't believe there will be a solution in the short term. This problem can only be left to time, and we should trust in the wisdom of future generations.
"Moreover, the solution to the wealth gap is not to make the poor richer, but the fundamental solution is technology. Technology leads to increased productivity, and increased productivity leads to higher wages..."
Having money allows you to spend it; after all, everyone works to have a better life, and this is the normal cycle.
Everything we have is based on technological breakthroughs, so we have money.
"If you were to ask me what my opinion is on the wealth gap,
I would say that staring at numbers is meaningless; focusing on technology is what matters.
Take the valuation of the industry as an example. If this 3 trillion yuan in wealth can drive income growth for 100 million people, then this 3 trillion yuan is worthwhile.
If all he can do is deposit his money in the bank and earn interest, then it's pointless.
Meanwhile, in another conference room, some people were also watching the recording.
Hearing Shen Fei say this, they nodded silently!
A moment later, a voice came from the quiet conference room:
"Old Zhang found a good son-in-law!"
