The interview with Duan Yongping is truly explosive in terms of information content.

Pujun Tian (Wang Shih's lovely wife) has a gaze that clearly says "Pull the wire," and Duan Yongping himself, dressed casually and speaking relaxedly, is often how truly wealthy people behave.

In contrast, after leaving Vanke, he speaks with a bit more caution, and once the platform is gone, his aura also diminishes.

What moved me the most was Duan Yongping's set of "Eight Honest and Down-to-Earth Suggestions." They seem simple, but very few people can actually do them:
1. Do the right thing: Return to the essence, resist temptation, adhere to long-termism, and avoid earning crooked money.
2. Do things right: Improve execution, allow mistakes, and constantly review and optimize.
3. Keep a calm mind: Stay calm under pressure, stay grounded when tempted, and judge calmly.
4. Self-reflection: Identify your own problems before things go wrong, and don’t shift blame.
5. Don’t take advantage of others: Be honest in cooperation; in the long run, integrity is more valuable than money.
6. Focus on the core: Know what you can and cannot do, avoid jumping around or trying everything.
7. Keep promises: Follow through once you commit, don’t fool around.
8. Be down-to-earth: Avoid arrogance and impatience for quick success, steadily move forward.

My biggest takeaway after watching this is: the highest level in the business world ultimately boils down to the fundamental logic of being a person and doing things right. It’s not about having super high IQ or fancy tactics, but about these eight simple principles, which can be坚持一辈子 (stick to for a lifetime).
