Reborn with Consumption System

Of course, when you pee, you still have to shake your legs yourself.

After a good decadent meal, we got together for tea, and inevitably started talking about funds.

"Mr. Han, we started a small private equity ourselves."

"Yes, yes, we wouldn’t have known how hard finance is until we tried it ourselves!"

"Ah, don’t mention it, the gap between people is really damn huge!"

"Exactly! Logically, the trader we hired is also a master, so why did they struggle once we moved from futures to the stock market?"

Cough, cough!

Han Lie coughed lightly twice.

To be honest, if he hadn’t possessed level-five acting skills, Han Lie might have burst out laughing on the spot.

Oh brother, you’ve asked the right person!

But when analyzing for them, Mr. Han displayed a high level of professionalism.

"The operation strategies for futures and stocks are fundamentally different, for one, and additionally, the stock market has only just started to rebound. The money moving around now is the existing funds in the market, and one major characteristic of these funds that survived the bear market is—

Extreme sensitivity and skepticism!

The usual retail investors have long been dormant, and without new ones coming in, it’s all seasoned veterans out there, tried and tested. Don’t you think that’s the truth?

At this stage, making money really requires some leading at the dimension level.

But there’s no need for you guys to worry.

To this day, I can confidently say that my prediction about the bull market is pretty much coming true.

You guys entered the market early, so making money is certain; the only difference is how much, so don’t rush, really, there’s no need for it!"

Han Lie had already scooped up all the bamboo shoots from the mountain.

The more he emphasized there was no need to rush, the more anxious Wang Qiwei and the rest became.

The words "making more or less" carried significant weight.

"We’re really not in a hurry!"

The chubby guy licked his face, telling a lie that no one believed.

"Mainly, it’s just that, the effort we put into hiring the trader, their performance really doesn’t meet expectations, making me suspicious deep down!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

Wang Qiwei immediately chimed in: "We’re just wondering, when will the big brother finally adapt? We can’t actually wait until the late bull market when every stock makes money, right?"

Han Lie smiled without saying a word.

At a critical moment, his silence made this group even more anxious.

Complaints and grievances poured out from all sides, hinting that they wanted to collaborate with Han Lie.

When the tension reached its peak, Dog Lie finally gave a little hint.

"There will definitely be a new fund. It doesn’t make sense for me to make money alone, disregarding my hometown, especially since my parents want to live out their days in Dream City.

However, the new fund still won’t be very large. Otherwise, adding leverage, the market wouldn’t accommodate it."

He stopped at a very clever point.

Then he patted his butt and hurried back to Dream City overnight.

At the Dream City highway exit, wow, what a grand scene!

While speeding on the road, news that Han Lie’s new fund was confirmed had already spread, with people lining up to welcome him.

Shen Cheng, considering himself Han Lie’s friend, certainly had to come.

The leader from the mining company where Han Yong worked also came.

The rest were half coal tycoons, half real estate and entertainment moguls.

Dream City is wealthy, but not many famous people emerge from it, and Han Lie’s influence is prominent. High-profile enough to pull out ten banners upon returning to his alma mater.

Just exchanging pleasantries at the highway exit took half an hour.

When entering the city, the line of luxury cars following the corporate vehicle nearly blinded the people of Dream City.

"Whoa, which leader is coming for an inspection?"

"Inspection my ass! That’s Brother Han!"

"That’s impressive... A man’s gotta be like this!"

"Wait a second, since when did Dream City have a Brother Han? Never heard of him..."

"Well, there you go. Us common folk, do we deserve to hear about it?"

"Country bumpkin!"

"You’re not a bumpkin, tell us then?"

"I’ll tell you a hook, a person you can never reach, what good is knowing?"

The idle drunks at the street stalls argued about it all night, most never figuring out who Han Lie was.

But eventually, some half-informed people managed to circulate a message—

The boss of Dream Garden, Han, is back, and Dream Garden is finally going to open!

Practically rumors, but they spread vividly.

Han Lie did not fuel the fire, the gossip had little impact on housing prices, not necessary.

However, Dream Garden did heat up again, that’s a fact.

By the second day Han Lie returned, the Dream Garden sales office’s phone exploded.

"What price should we report?"

Uncle Ma Long rubbed his hands excitedly, at a loss.

"Report an average price of 6.6666."

Han Lie casually watched the news, not even raising his eyelid: "Feel it out, but don’t actually sell."

"Got it, got it!"

Uncle went off to handle it, returning worried in the afternoon: "We only received 48 definite intentions, all willing to pay the deposit anytime! But is that number too small? If we raise the price again..."

He didn’t dare finish his sentence.

But Han Lie was unfazed, extremely calm.

"You’re overthinking it, given Dream City’s way, everything needs a connection. It’s only those who can’t connect with me at all who book directly through the sales hotline.

I’m back in Dream City, the key players are eager to meet me.

So 48 is quite a lot, actually excellent. Raise the average price to 7.7777, and I bet at least half will buy."

"Right!"

Uncle was flabbergasted, slapping his thigh, rekindling his enthusiasm.

"Damn, our family is about to prosper! I’m going to supervise the property team training right away!"

Off he went with haste.

And Han Lie stayed poised like a fisherman, casually flirting—only a limited number of hometown folks could dial into his private number, and those who could had long been arranged.

As the time approached 5 PM, Han Lie finally set off leisurely.

Today was a small gathering of about 20 people, without an association representative on their business card, you had no place at the table.

The past two days had just about pulled everyone’s emotions into place, and this meal, Han Lie added a little extra.

"The new fund has already begun its preliminary preparations for filing. I personally decided on the name, it’s called ’Dream City United Dream Private Equity Investment Fund,’ just the total amount is yet undecided..."

The room immediately erupted with a wave of flattery.

"Great name! Good omen!"

"Brilliant, Mr. Han, the sound of it is exciting!"

"May we follow Mr. Han’s lead to build dreams for our hometown!"

At this time, Supernova One’s profit was nearing 95%, and Sky One Fund was slightly less, at 80%.

It doesn’t sound like much, seemingly nothing special, but it had already secured the industry’s top spot for a couple of months this year.

Xu Xiang also experienced all of this back in the day, but his investment position was already locked tight, and he had no channels for external cashing, so he almost never attended similar events.

Everything that Han Lie was receiving in terms of accolades and benefits was well-deserved.

After setting the tone, there was more heavy drinking.

Fortunately, he had the ’Wine Immortal’ to support him, otherwise, he’d be puking eight times a day at this rate.

The next day, the news spread all over Dream City.

Of course, that’s not the main point, the main point is, the head of the financial department came politely to visit, delivering a message—Boss Chen wants to invite Han Lie for a meeting in the office.

Technically, a guy like Han Lie doesn’t have much to do with the local government.

The two sides don’t need to keep too much contact; finance’s advantage is quick money, its disadvantage is it doesn’t create local jobs, and its GDP impact is weak.

So Han Lie was puzzled: "I appreciate Boss Chen’s kindness. Brother, let’s chat privately, give me the lowdown, what’s up?"

But the elder brother didn’t understand either, only reminding him: "Boss Chen seems to have always been quite interested in you..."

Always... whoa!

Thinking of the surname Chen, Dog Lie suddenly realized, and of course, he was startled.

My gosh, the former father-in-law!

So should I go or not?
