Restless and energetic, he was converted by a friend to a blind faith in "industrial innovation" for a time and whenever he heard of a new invention or type of technology he wanted to have a hand in it. He even put up money for investment purely out of "sympathy," to help friends in difficulty.
心思定不下來的他，有時是聽信朋友的一句話，有一陣子又迷信「產業革新」，只要聽到有什麼新技術、新發明就想插上一手，甚至還有純粹是「同情」周轉困難的朋友而出錢投資。
