Reborn with Consumption System

Han Lie used various methods to put pressure on the folks back home.

He’s really not a good person!

But interestingly, the effect was great.

In the following two or three days, wealthy people kept pouring into Dream City from the village, the mountains, the neighboring city, and the provincial capital.

The commotion even startled Boss Chen again.

He specifically called Han Lie: "President Han, why don’t you just hold a preliminary promotion event? I’m under a lot of pressure here now..."

Han Lie could refuse others by saying he had no time, but he couldn’t turn down his ex-father-in-law’s request.

Because the matter was really too trivial.

A promotion event isn’t a roadshow; you don’t need to show real stuff, just give a brief introduction, and brag a bit.

If you don’t even give your ex-father-in-law this bit of face, how could you enjoy the supporting facilities he provides around Dream Garden?

"Alright, I’ll organize it right away."

Han Lie agreed cheerfully, and Boss Chen laughed heartily: "Great, when is it? I’ll free up Xiao Zhao for you, and bring classmates along to support you!"

Han Lie calculated silently: "The day after tomorrow then, the day after tomorrow is Saturday, perfect timing to let my team sort out the relevant information."

Having settled the main affair, Dream City suddenly became lively.

Coal magnates were bustling back and forth like crazy.

For two whole days, luxury hotel suites were fully booked, business KTV hostesses were so busy they staggered while walking, and nightclubs’ alcohol sales quadrupled...

Over in the Magic Capital, Lü Shuli, Yue Xiu, Lizzy, and Jiao Fangyan worked overtime to sort various materials, prepare PPTs, and write speeches.

Dream City’s property company stayed up all night making various display boards, setting up the venues and the Dream Garden atrium.

Han Lie originally wanted to relax, but ended up being pressed by his little uncle to write invitation letters all afternoon.

Even if it was only the recipient’s name plus his own signature, producing a total of two hundred invitation cards was truly exhausting.

Han Lie had no choice but to level up to a Level 4 calligraphy skill, and used cursive script liberally.

The experience cost wasn’t much, but the effect was outstanding.

Boss Chen marveled and sighed upon receiving the formal invitation: "Men truly aren’t molded without adversity... In youth, they should go through more trials and bear some hardships!

Look at Little Han, how ordinary he used to be?

Getting beaten up in front of a girl woke him up instantly, and he matured overnight!

Now, not only does he do well in business, he also has certain skills in self-cultivation; look at this handwriting, must have practiced countless scripts!

This is the motivation coming from being shamed into bravery..."

The secretary and driver nodded seriously, fully agreeing, determined to be harsher while educating their own sons...

"..."

How unfair! Those two poor kids!

...

Two days of busying passed swiftly.

Saturday at 9 AM, the promotion event began punctually in the main hall of the small inn.

Out of 200 invitation cards sent, around 220 people showed up.

Over 20 people couldn’t come due to urgent matters despite receiving invitations, while about 50 snuck in through connections despite not receiving invitations.

Without exaggeration, basically all the top-tier wealthy people from Dream City were rounded up.

Even wealthy bosses from nearby resource-type cities came upon hearing.

Boss Chen was overjoyed; among them were a few he couldn’t invite directly — today felt like a chance to dig up some potential.

The first speaking opportunity was given to Boss Chen, whose speech lasted precisely three minutes and was quite reserved.

The second to take the stage was the representative from the Business Union, a venerable senior.

His words greatly praised Han Lie, believing he would bring new opportunities, new thinking, new atmosphere, and new patterns to the hometown.

Four "new’s, extremely high praise.

Then, Vice President Yang Xiaoyong from Mining Province Trust acted as the introducer, briefly introducing Han Lie himself, upcoming new collaborations, trust products’ procedural positioning, and expected launch dates, etc.

"...God Lie has made a name for himself in the Magic Capital’s private equity circle, and has also shown the prestige of us Mining Province financial folks, representing the highest level of Mining Province’s financial development..."

He truly dared to boast and excelled at it.

Anyway, Brother Lie is a pride of the Mining Province people; not supporting him means you’re unworthy of being a Mining Province person!

Bustling until 10 AM, Han Lie was finally summoned to the podium.

A financial situation analysis report compiled by Lizzy and the top talents from the Research and Strategy Department had substantial content value.

Han Lie casually placed the PPT there and briefly mentioned a few points, mostly indulging in unrestrained commentary.

"Yesterday, I dined with President Li from Haixin, discussing issues of moving from real to virtual economies.

I told him, don’t be deceived by how effortlessly I’m earning money — I’ve nearly reached the second place in the entire private equity circle, but I actually plan to revert to industrial business after this bull market and earn enough before returning."

Instantly, a commotion erupted below, with exclamations filling the room.

Han Lie shallowly smiled in his mind and continued leisurely.

"He didn’t understand.

Because he once abandoned a booming steel mill and turned to financial speculation and industry investment, initially gaining huge dividends, understanding deeply the difference in earning speeds between the two models.

I didn’t explain to him because he probably couldn’t quite grasp the essence of finance.

What is finance, after all?

Textbooks typically describe finance as a method and tool for fund allocation.

True, but not profound enough.

From the broadest perspective, finance stands at the extreme right end of the international competition profit curve, with technology on the left, and production below.
