Chapter 171 Lao Deng took off his mask
People tend to overestimate their efforts, contributions, and all emotional reactions.

Based on this, everyone will favor their own proposition.

Because they are thought up by oneself, the ideas are centered around one's own concepts, language patterns, decision-making procedures, as well as the education and culture received, and are consistent with one's underlying consciousness and preferences.

Once you think you have created something, whether it is physical or mental, you will have a strong feeling that you are its owner, and have a unique preference, a sense of exclusivity and pride.

This applies not only to business decisions, but also to decisions about eating, drinking and having fun in small groups.

Everyone didn't know where to eat, and someone suggested a restaurant.

After everyone sits down and tastes the food, they may only give it a two or three rating.

But because this restaurant was recommended by someone, he will not feel that the rating is as low as two or three points. He will most likely think that the food is unpalatable, but not that bad. At least it will be around four or five, or five or six points.

The same is true even in the field of science.

Generally speaking, people regard scientists as people who only focus on data, evidence, and experiments, who are able to abandon all arrogance and prejudice, and who work together to solve problems with the mission of scientific progress and human development.

In fact, it is impossible.

Scientists are human.

People in consulting firms like theirs are also human beings.

Deng Qiang made such a mistake. He did not adopt Su Cheng's layoff plan, but insisted on his own plan.

What makes scientists and consulting firms different from ordinary companies is that they all try to minimize the occurrence of this behavior.

Not to mention Deng Qiang.

Even Edison made this mistake.

If alternating current was invented by Edison, he would not have been so crazy to discredit it and promote his own direct current.

It’s not because Edison was narrow-minded or anything, the inventor really thought his direct current was better than Tesla’s alternating current.

But here’s the kicker.

Tang Ke is not Edison, he is not as awesome as Edison!
And the idea he came up with wasn't even direct current, it was worse than a strand of direct current.

Not to mention comparing it with Su Cheng's "alternating current".

Words like stubborn and obstinate have negative connotations.

But if it is used to describe a famous person who has achieved something, it becomes a compliment.

Many biographies write about how someone achieved success because they refused to listen to other people's advice and insisted on their own opinions.

The principle is not because you are really smart or really correct.

It is because of the high sense of participation that guides oneself to stick to one's beliefs and creativity without regrets.

Su Cheng calls this energy "intermediate energy."

It is lower than the powerful and invincible energy generated by Su Cheng's heart, but higher than the low-level energy that depends on external evaluation.

Ye Li listened silently.

She gave Su Cheng a high evaluation in her heart and praised him directly: "Not bad, not bad."

"You are a very good master."

Qin Fen asked a question: "Is it possible for Tang Li to find us?"

"Even if he comes to us, I don't want to work on his case. I feel a little sick when I see his cousin." Ye Li curled his lips and expressed his attitude openly.

Ye Li's idea is this:
She believes that Tangli Café needs to wait at least another 8 to 12 months before considering expansion.

It’s okay to expand now, but you can only open one store at most.

And the store cannot be too big, otherwise the cost and risk will be high.

We should proceed step by step.

But Tang Ke directly pulled a big lever, and no consulting company was willing to take it over.

The failure rate is too high!
"Yes, I think so too."

Su Cheng did feel disgusted with Tang Ke, but... that was not the main reason.

The cafe is now a mess.

Tang Ke allowed Tang Li to use such a large leverage, which would lead to extremely tight cash flow for subsequent operations and weak risk resistance.

This is still the case when the company is profitable. If the company suffers losses due to a market downturn or earnings that fall short of expectations, it will lose the space for strategic adjustments due to debt repayment, be forced to sell assets prematurely, and miss out on long-term value-added opportunities.

Leverage is a very powerful weapon.

But you must use it very, very, very carefully, otherwise you will get yourself into trouble.

Because leverage will exacerbate investors' emotional fluctuations and lead to irrational operations.

The Emgrand Group has conducted many research cases on this point.

Highly leveraged investors are more likely to make wrong decisions in the market.

The greater the pressure, the more panicked you are, and the more likely things are to go wrong.

Su Cheng didn't want to take Tang Li's case because of Tang Ke, but not because Tang Ke was disgusting.

But it’s because Tang Ke might point fingers and put forward his ideas.

If Tang Li is willing to listen to Su Cheng 100%, then there is still hope, and Su Cheng can even help Tang Li.

Su Cheng had just been promoted to deputy team leader, and he hadn't sat in the deputy director's office in accordance with the principles and procedures, so he had to produce something for everyone to see.

Even from the old man's perspective, it was his contribution.

Of course Su Cheng didn't expect this.

He has been fighting with the old guy these days.

I didn't even think about taking credit from the old guy.

Return home in the evening.

Su Cheng immediately sent a message to Zheng Jiawei.

Su Cheng: [Jiawei, there seems to be something wrong with that camera. Do you have time to go over and take a look at it for me?]
Zheng Jiawei: [Sure, Brother Cheng, but you have to wait for about an hour. I’m restocking now.]
Su Cheng glanced at the time.

It's only nine o'clock now.

If Zheng Jiawei goes over later, we can just sit back and wait.

Su Cheng: [OK, no problem, we’ll contact you later]
Su Cheng put away his phone and pulled out today's surveillance footage, intending to take a look at it at four times the speed to see if there was any useful information.

The surveillance video quickly played until noon.

A familiar figure reappeared in the video.

"Eh? Are you going home at noon too?"

Su Cheng turned the video to normal speed.

I have to cook and eat when I get home at noon.

The man was busy in the surveillance video for a while, then made a bowl of noodle soup and brought it to the table.

"You wear a mask when you cook, but you can't also wear a mask when you eat, right?"

Just the next second.

The man took off his mask, revealing a face that Su Cheng was familiar with.

"Shall I wipe it?"

"Has the old man returned home?"

"When did you come back?"
