Reborn with Consumption System

The entire curve is an arc resembling a smile.

Our country has secured its position as a producer in the globalized international arena, right at the bottom of the curve, where the profits are thin and taken away by both ends.

So, many entrepreneurs, including you, and me too, vote with their feet, moving from real to virtual, taking money to engage in financial speculation.

This isn’t inherently a problem.

I have the capability, I can earn this money.

But if we examine finance with a deeper perspective, we will discover that there is an absolute hegemony in the world of finance, yet the path of financial hegemony is hard to replicate.

It is strictly anchored on two essential resources of modern society —

The first is oil, the second is food.

I won’t elaborate on how it is specifically anchored, only talk about the outcome.

The outcome is simple: our financial capital cannot venture overseas; it’s doomed the moment it does;

The rules are theirs, the battlefield is theirs, the key resources are theirs, even the ultimate power to overturn the table is in their hands, how can we win?

But, once I scale up the volume significantly, the domestic market simply cannot accommodate it.

Using billions in funds to continue stirring the domestic secondary market is neither harmonious nor considerate of the bigger picture.

From a micro perspective, what is finance?

It’s a game of information disparity where the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimp.

Stockholders often complain: those domestic financial experts, fund managers are all damn bullies in their own domain!

Yes, that’s right.

Because once you step out, others can use various means to block your information, even collude with institutions to give you false information, set traps and play rogue.

But domestically, it’s me using the information gap to make dimensional strikes against you.

Yet, the most important question is: just how many big fish can a pond of small fish sustain?

How big and heavy can the big fish grow?

A smart person surely has a scale in their heart.

Therefore, once you deeply understand the essence of finance, you realize that there’s essentially no road ahead.

What to do then?

I don’t know what you guys want to do; anyway, for me, this [Dream One] private product is very likely my last private equity product.

Afterwards, I’ll most likely run my own operations only, taking most of the profits to engage in real industries.

By the way, our Dream City is resource-rich and conveniently located, I cannot rule out the possibility of returning for a second venture."

"Hiss... Ha!"

The audience exploded in chatter again. To be honest, everyone was shocked by Han Lie.

What kind of confidence, determination, and courage does it take for a private equity manager, a trading expert enjoying his spring breeze, to choose to strategically retreat just as he reaches the peak?!

Even just listening to it makes people feel unbelievably amazed!

Reactions varied among the people, some were happy, some were sad, and some were indifferent as if it didn’t concern them.

But without exception, everyone deeply admired the young man on stage.

This is an extraordinary person!

Damn, what a badass!

Very few realized that this guy was still using the opportunity to create anxiety among the audience.

Even if they realized, so what?

His vision, his logic, his clarity, his decisiveness... commanded respect undeniably!

Next, Han Lie changed angle to show off again.

In finance, bragging a bit doesn’t degenerate you.

"It’s been half a year since I first gave a lecture at SPD Bank, during which all my judgments haven’t missed once.

Those who originally didn’t believe me now regret it heavily.

I’m not saying this to boast about how great I am but to convey a principle to everyone——at the peak of my market sensitivity, clarity of thinking, and sharpness of operations, I’ve almost entirely contributed to this bull market.

Two or three years from now, it’ll be difficult for me to replicate this level of performance.

I’ve become distinctly aware of this, so I’ve decided to strategically retreat.

And what about you?

Are you ready to catch this last bus and double your assets in half a year or even less?"

When this last sentence was asked, many big brothers’ eyes turned red.

Especially Wang Qiwei and his group, feeling both uncomfortable and excited.

"Han, you’re really something..."

"Look at this, what do you call a genius in the finance sector?"

"Old Jia made a real mess, seems like he’s got too excited lately, with shorting things just worsening over time..."

"Not just shorting, all those value investors are completely down!"

"Damn! It’s only the banks and insurance that are rising steadily, which Han has long highlighted as key sectors..."

The resentment was palpable, making its feelings clear.

At this point, it was Wang Qiwei, the first to propose exiting, who was comforting them.

"The problem isn’t significant; anyway, we didn’t invest much, at worst we’ll just gather more to put with Han, and surely we’ll earn back."

Cheng the Fat looked around and lowered his voice, "I damn want to, but haven’t you noticed? Without buying real estate in Dream Garden, how can we get a seat on Han’s bus?!"

There are just too many smart people.

No, to be precise, Han Lie wasn’t really trying to hide it from people.

Whether the strategic retreat is true or false, nobody dares to be certain now, but many have grasped the core idea — even if you buy real estate in Dream Garden, this is a one-time deal, whether you’ll be invited next time is up for debate.

So wild.

But the big brothers from Mining Province are hooked on it.

Cheap things are no good, the pricier, the more it’s worth!

As a result, Han Lie did not mention Dream Garden once during the whole event, but after the buffet lunch ended, most people tacitly went to Dream Garden.
