Reborn with Consumption System

"How does President Gao know what stocks our company has been trading?"

Damn it! Gao Diaomao cursed inwardly. This little brat! Does he have the shamelessness of a dog, changing his tune so quickly?! How could he just flip like that?!

But not only did he dare not show a hint of this, he even had to hastily explain.

"Sheesh! Wasn't I just asking about the sales team? Recently, I've become quite close with President Gao from CITIC, the one in charge of marketing. We often dine together, and President Gao was singing your praises to everyone at yesterday's dinner gathering...

But rest assured, President Gao didn't mention a single word about the specific stocks you traded. He only spoke about your accomplishments."

Ha! So these two really have teamed up... Han Lie was quite pleased internally, yet he still managed to look somewhat displeased on the surface.

"What's with this President Gao?"

After a pause, he softened his tone, offering Gao Diaomao an out.

"President Gao, please forgive me. I'm not targeting you. It's just that this kind of thing is highly sensitive and can easily impact our final profits..."

"Understood, understood!"

Gao Diaomao laughed heartily, his attitude generous and frank, as if there were no hard feelings at all.

"I also know a little about stocks and am well aware of the consequences of leaks. However, President Gao's professionalism is definitely beyond reproach. He was mostly bragging to leverage your reputation and boost his own status, hoping to attract a couple more clients. He genuinely didn't mention any specifics. To be honest, I'm still curious..."

Gao Shen hurried to chime in with flattery, "Teacher Han, why don't you tell us yourself? No need for details; I just want to hear your thinking."

Prompted by her husband's desperate glances, Bai Yuqiu also spoke up.

"Teacher Han, I remember last time at SPD Bank, you said the stock index would definitely fall below 2,000 points, and that we should immediately use leverage when it did?

Ah, what a pity. I don't understand stock trading, and I didn't have any spare cash. Otherwise, if I had followed your advice, I might have earned enough for a car by now..."

At this mention, Gao Shen couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, glaring fiercely at Bai Yuqiu.

This wasteful woman! All that hair and no sense! If you didn't believe him, you should have told me sooner! Do you even know what level Teacher Han is on? He's a master who navigates the market with ease! If we had prepared earlier, just this one week, how much could we have made?!

The young man sighed, shaking his head reflectively, "Ah, Teacher Han, next time you offer a course, I absolutely must attend. This time was such a missed opportunity..."

Gao Diaomao immediately followed with more sycophancy, "According to President Gao, CITIC has even had its analysts review your lecture again, calling on everyone to learn from you. With this recent play of yours, you've truly awed the professionals!"

Were their performances exaggerated?

Not really.

The financial market is always like this. When you succeed, you're surrounded by flowers, applause, and fervent admiration.

Han Lie's operations and achievements this week were publicly a secret, but to those with a keen eye, they had already been thoroughly dissected.

Here's a little-known fact: individuals with high-level access within securities firms can see the complete trading details of any market participant.

President Gao from CITIC is one such individual with high-level access. He happened to take a particular interest in Han Lie, so much so that he studied Zhong Cheng's operations almost daily.

After having a bit too much to drink yesterday, he really opened up to Gao Diaomao, expressing a torrent of emotions.

"—Teacher Han is incredible! Just looking at his trades, they seem deceptively ordinary on the surface.

He builds a foundational position during a downturn, tests the waters, follows the trend to sell off when the index plummets, tests the market again, then selects target stocks, buys aggressively at the bottom, and finally establishes a significant position when the rebound begins.

Are there any secret techniques, or anything particularly special worth mentioning?

Not really.

It's a very common operational method for large capital.

But with so many institutions and major individual players in the market, why is it Teacher Han who consistently reaps such a bountiful harvest?

Two words—precision, decisiveness.

His prediction of the bottom being near 1,980 points was incredibly precise.

His decision to add leverage and go all-in was incredibly decisive.

While others were still hesitating, cautiously building small positions, Han Lie had already leveraged a market rise of less than 30% into an overall profit exceeding 60%.

This is a perfect example of the saying, 'A truly skilled warrior achieves great victory without fanfare.'

He anticipates everything perfectly, so there's no need for flashy maneuvers—just a clean sweep is enough.

It might seem unremarkable on the surface, but in reality, the victory was sealed more than half a month ago.

You simply have to be impressed!"

...

Gao Diaomao was actually an exceptionally suspicious person. However, when one person, then a second, and then a third all said Han Lie was incredible—especially with concrete results to back it up—how could he not be convinced?

That's precisely why he had so urgently invited Han Lie over today: he was now thoroughly convinced and a complete believer.

Teacher Han is such a wizard at trading, what could he possibly want from me?! The man makes more money from a casual foray into the market than we do in two years of grinding! If he wants company stock, give it to him! We'll become like family, and we're bound to benefit from his prestige in the future. Maybe we could even take Gao Yuan Real Estate public!

With such beautiful dreams, Gao Diaomao became increasingly obsequious towards Han Lie.

The dinner started at 7:00 p.m. No one overindulged in alcohol, and it concluded around 8:00 p.m. Afterward, Gao Diaomao invited Han Lie to the tea room.

While Gao Diaomao was boiling water for tea, Han Lie placed his briefcase beside him and activated the small audio jammer concealed inside.

Can't have any illusions about Gao Diaomao's integrity. Better to take my own precautions.

This time, however, Han Lie had truly misjudged Gao Diaomao.
