Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 484 - 226: Misjudged, You’re Really Not Human!_2
...
Everyone settled in the room, and Liang Wu went out to the assistant’s room.
Han Lie was seated between Zha Zha and Me Ba. Oh boy, five years later, this would definitely be a king’s throne.
For now... the reason given on the surface was that they were of similar age.
Almost everyone present was from the entertainment industry. Han Lie didn’t quite fit in, so he became even more curious about what Second Sister Jin was up to.
And once they got to talking, oh my! Why did so many people have investment needs? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Wu Qilong, Peng Hu, Huang Sanshi, and Big Secret all felt perplexed by the current investment climate and eagerly discussed equity investment and the secondary market with Han Lie.
In truth, Han Lie had simply operated at too low a level previously.
Celebrities are the group most in need of external investment.
Artists above the second tier handled massive cash flows. At their peak, one show could rake in a hundred million, a variety show tens of millions. Plus income from commercial performances, copyright dividends, endorsements, and so on—how much cash did they actually bring in per year?
And the level of education, cultural literacy, and general worldly knowledge of most celebrities meant they only knew how to buy real estate.
Artists like Ren Quan and Huang Ba, who were skilled in business, were exceedingly rare.
So, when Jia Paopao’s scandal erupted, it implicated a bunch of celebrities. When Zhang Ting’s scandal erupted, it again dragged in a host of celebrities...
Many celebrities weren’t so much passionate about investing as they felt compelled to put their money somewhere. They couldn’t just keep it in the bank earning minimal interest on demand deposits, could they?
The saying "more money than sense" perfectly described them.
No matter how reliable their agents were, could someone from the film and television industry really outmaneuver professional financiers?
Right now, the real estate market was quite sluggish. Every day, bearish experts were predicting doom and gloom, leaving many celebrities and artists anxiously holding onto their cash.
The timing was just too perfect, wasn’t it?
So, it was normal for Han Lie to be popular. In half a year, he would be even more so.
...
It was Peng Hu who first brought up investments.
This man wasn’t considered a heavyweight in Magic Capital’s financial circles, but he was definitely well-informed.
Moreover, he was smart and smooth, immediately starting by establishing connections.
"I’ve had the pleasure of meeting President Pan a few times, and I’m quite close to Dou Mingde—that old rascal. Every time the Magic Capital Investment Committee meets, we get together, and I’ve heard a lot about you, Teacher Han, from him.
Second Sister Jin’s elder brother is my university classmate, and Little Wu is your business partner, Teacher Han. The Magic Capital chief of CITIC Securities was the monitor in my civil service training class, and he’s President Gao’s direct subordinate.
You see, if we really trace it all back, we’re practically family—within five degrees of kinship..."
Aiyo, my goodness! Look at this intricate web of relationships in the local business community!
Han Lie, dizzied and somewhat impressed by the convoluted connections, could only raise his glass. Enough talk, let’s settle this with drinks!
"Ah, then I must acknowledge you as an elder brother! Our connections run truly deep!"
After finishing his drink, Peng Hu finally got to the main topic.
"Teacher Han, I heard from a friend that you’ve met with President Xu? It’s said President Xu is full of praise for you, and President Gao of CITIC even calls you the foremost financial operator of the new generation. There’s a less mainstream view in the industry suggesting a structural market trend next year. What are your thoughts?"
The Magic Capital financial circle was no joke; it was full of elites.
In fact, by then, many people had already predicted the next year’s market trend and were building substantial positions during the current bottom-formation phase.
However, all the bulls were only anticipating a structural market trend; no one could have predicted that off-market leveraged financing would crazily push the market past 5,100 points.
"I agree."
Han Lie nodded lightly, no longer holding back.
Fame should be sought early, and displays of prowess made openly. Whether to let them in on the game was another matter entirely.
Old Xu and Old Gao had been singing his praises in their circles. Not striking while the iron was hot would be wasting a heaven-sent opportunity, wouldn’t it?
Choosing his words carefully, Han Lie went all out with his pitch.
"Our domestic stock market generally has three bottoms: the policy bottom, the valuation bottom, and the market bottom.
You understand policy better than I do. It’s widely believed in the industry that the policy bottom has been clarified and the valuation bottom is nearly reached. We are currently in the market-testing-the-bottom phase.
Once market sentiment stabilizes and there’s no further room to fall, it must turn upwards to seek a breakthrough.
But an upward breakthrough requires a logical basis; it needs macroeconomic support.
Otherwise, it can only consolidate within a range at the bottom, unable to surge upwards.
And the vigorous development of the mobile internet, which is driving new industries, new growth points, and new application scenarios—that is the most appropriate logic right now.
There’s ample profit, growth, and potential. Supporting a structural market trend is entirely feasible.
For example, 4G-related industries, mobile gaming, smartphone accessories, the integration of culture and tourism, mobile-centric long-form video, new ecosystems across the entire film-TV-animation-gaming copyright chain, interactive entertainment platforms, and so on.
Investment opportunities in the venture capital field are everywhere. Just look at the primary investment directions of Ali and Tencent over the past year, and you should be able to sense the genuine enthusiasm.
Reflected in the secondary market, the room for speculation is naturally also immense."
Oh boy. Such earnest wisdom and profound insights, yet every single female star present failed to understand a word... They were utterly bewildered, looking at each other, their eyes vacant...
Wait, no. Big Secret nodded lightly with a smile, seemingly in strong agreement, yet her demeanor was far too calm.
So... did she understand or not?
Unlike them, Peng Hu, Su Xiao, Huang Sanshi, and Wu Qilong were practically squirming with eagerness, their eyes shining.
Among them, Wu Qilong and Huang Sanshi seemed to grasp some of it, though Wu Qilong understood a bit more than Huang Sanshi.
