CNBC AI News, July 28th – Zhang Xuefeng, founder of Fengxue Weilai, recently sat down for a revealing conversation with Deng Qingxu, CEO of Sina Finance.
Rumors swirling around Zhang Xuefeng have been amplified across the internet, with claims of “raking in 200 million in 3 hours” and “tearfully making hundreds of millions.”
In response to these claims, Deng Qingxu directly asked Zhang Xuefeng: “Is this true?”
Zhang Xuefeng countered, “That clearly shows a lack of understanding of business. Anyone who understands business knows that revenue doesn’t equal profit. To be honest, I didn’t make that much.” He added a dose of realism, highlighting the difference between topline figures and actual earnings.
He further stated, “I’m increasingly indifferent to those who criticize me, because they simply don’t understand me.” This speaks to the challenges faced by high-profile figures dealing with public perception and online scrutiny.
Zhang Xuefeng emphasized, “If they watched even one complete livestream of mine, they would see that I’m not a particularly good person, but definitely not a bad one.” This nuanced self-assessment is a departure from the black-and-white narratives often dominating online discourse.
When discussing his targets, Zhang Xuefeng offered a perspective that challenges conventional ambition: “Don’t engage in pointless comparisons with others. You might say, ‘This year, I want to generate 300 million in revenue.’ Then, after achieving 300 million, you aim for 500 million, then 800 million. But what does it all amount to? You’ll still end up as a pile of ashes.” This highlights the importance of purpose beyond mere financial gain.
Zhang Xuefeng concluded with a philosophical point:“Never mistake the result for the goal. Is getting into Tsinghua or Peking University your goal? Wrong. It’s the result of your hard work.” This emphasizes the value of the process and the journey, rather than fixating solely on the outcome. Focusing on the intrinsic motivation and personal growth derived from pursuing excellence, irrespective of prestige.
