In the afternoon, I went fishing with Old Zhao.
Old Zhao started in bulk trade, and countless peers have fallen in the past few years, yet he is thriving more than ever. He understands life better than anyone else, holding a large amount of cash, and fishing every day.
I asked: “In these two years when business has been so difficult, how did you avoid those pitfalls?”
He said: “It's very simple, I don't believe in God, I only believe in profit. How did many bosses die? It's because they became emotionally attached to their own models and developed a 'faith' in their projects. They always feel that as long as they persist, they can win, and that heaven must treat them well, and in the end, they even lost their pants.”
