People encounter many types of friends in their lives, like the guiding type, the taciturn type, the mutual help type, the listening type and so on. The choice of friends varies from person to person at different times.
      If it is a young man who is new to the world and has little social experience, a friend who can show him the way is suitable for him; if it is a person who wants to do something together, a tacit friend is definitely his first choice; if it is a person who wants to find a person who can share the pain of disillusionment or a person who has a strong desire to express himself, they need a friend who is a listening friend; if it is a person whose values have matured and whose career has stabilized, then he will choose a mutual-help type of friend. This has to do with age and experience.
      I tend to have more supportive friends now, and I think I have the most such friends around me, as they help each other to find directions. I think I have the most such friends around me. In my 20s, it's important to have friends who can show me the way, but in my 40s and 50s, there are more supportive friends.
      In my work and life, I have a lot of dealings with people of all ages, but supportive friends have become more common. Discussing and doing things together, finding some solutions together, and it is not so important who shows who the way, and it is not so important to have a heart to heart.
      For example, if I want to have dinner with a friend who is the chairman of a listed company and has recently solved the difficulties he encountered last time, he would like to have dinner with me to alleviate them, or if he has any good new ideas recently and would like to discuss them with each other, this is the type of friends I have more than any other. This kind of friends are not limited to the same industry, but are helpful to me in terms of career and vision.
      I found all these friends on my own. Wang Shi, for example, I have known him for more than a decade. When I met him, his company was about to go public, and he encountered some problems, which we went through together, including discussing why idealistic companies could not hold on and had to withstand the challenges of profit.
      We have been in very close contact for so many years, gradually becoming friends. But we don't do business with them. In fact, we have become spiritual guides, with guidance. There is also mutual support, for example, when I encountered difficulties in doing the New York China Center, at first he didn't advise me to do it, but when I encountered difficulties, he told me, you have to do it, which has turned into a kind of spiritual support.
      For example, we asked TEDA to do Vantone's strategic investors in this matter, when I can not understand, I asked him, he said it must be, it is a very good choice, the results we do do down, the cooperation in the past few years is very good. This category of friends is to find, including Liu Chuanzhi Liu, I just developed the company, take the initiative to find Liu to see me, slowly ask for advice, learning, and gradually become friends.

      And of course lately there are friends like Jack Ma and others like that. The rules of our circle, the first to be sincere, to be frank, to be naked. You can not pretend, you in this small area and then pretend, that is more not stuff!

      You say that there is no way that many people, you do not pretend a little will affect the emotions of others, you can pretend a little, if just three or five people you still pretend, that is purely an insult to the intelligence of others; the second is not to have a utilitarian purpose, nothing is the highest realm; there is also a rule of the game is to be modest, why the water is more and more accumulated, because of the ground is low, the low thing in order to absorb more capital, in the circle of friends is the same, to be modest.
      You're not humble enough, you're always looking to teach others, plus you pretend even more and basically get kicked out pretty quickly. That's why it's so important to make friends on a small scale like this, to be authentic, humble, and free of utilitarian overtones, and everyone will be comfortable.
      Whether a person is sincere, humble or pretending can actually be seen when we meet for the first time. We were not famous at that time, we went to ask to see Mr. Liu, six people went together, he was very serious with us to discuss, and then simply said, you do not come, I will bring the team to your place, come to our Poly Building to discuss, which made us very touched. Later on, we became very good friends.
      Of course, there are some other people are very interesting, some people do not see, there is another one is to get a big desk, we sit on the sofa, separated by more than 20 meters, education, first of all, it is disrespectful to me, at least pull over the chair, which is separated by more than 20 meters to talk about things. This person later went to jail, and now has long been out of the jungle.
      Another one, who put us on hold in a small room and waited for 40 minutes or so, just told us a few words and dismissed us, and this company went bankrupt later. None of these people can be friends. Honesty, discipline, respect for others and humility are common characteristics of many successful people, including Liu Chuanzhi and Wang Shi.
      Some people are successful by accident, but they are not respectful enough, they are not honest enough, they are not humble enough, maybe for us little people, we can just accept to be toyed with a little bit, but if we treat our friends, our government, our partners, our big things in this way, it is exactly the reason that leads to his failure. That's why we call it "humility is the last word", and we must pay attention to humility!
      There is also a little trick to get along with friends: try to say good things behind your back, never say bad things behind your back, say more good things behind your back, say bad things to your face, and that's what makes you a true friend!
