Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 529 - 241: Leveraging Up!_2

Director Liu was sweating bullets for Han Lie. She believed in Han Lie’s skill, but she had no clue what kind of effect Teacher Han could produce. After all, "being capable" and "being articulate" were clearly two different things.

In the midst of the buzzing noise, Han Lie walked to the center of the podium. He casually handed the USB drive to Director Liu, then placed both hands on the lectern, leaned slightly forward, and smiled as he looked around the venue, composed and self-assured.

"Wow, quite a crowd."

Han Lie’s opening remark felt like casual small talk. As it flowed through the microphone, it easily quieted the buzz in the room.

In the venue that could accommodate 500 people, about 200 customers sat in the front half.

As far as the eye could see, everyone was well-dressed. All sorts of high-end ready-to-wear, fine jewelry, and bespoke suits added a glittering opulence to the venue.

The branch’s year-end event was definitely of a much higher caliber than those at sub-branches and business departments.

One customer was wealthier than the next, worldly and experienced, which added both pressure and motivation.

Anyway, Brother Lie found it all very interesting. It wasn’t the challenge that was interesting, but the situation itself.

After scanning the crowd briefly, his Fiery Golden Eyes spotted three particularly dazzling ladies. They were too far to see facial details clearly in the crowded and chaotic environment. However, their postures and demeanors, even from afar, revealed an enduring grace worth pondering—truly remarkable ladies. Not bad at all!

Even at this moment, Han Lie was in the mood to scope out beauties, which showed just how relaxed he was.

No matter how rich you are, in the market, you’re all just leeks and retail investors. And retail investors? Bro, I’ve seen plenty. Easy to swindle!

Director Liu quickly brought up the PPT, and a row of bold, audacious words appeared on the projector screen—

[The historic crash next week, how many times can a smart investor multiply their principal?]

Without paying any further attention to the noise below, Han Lie kicked off the presentation directly, starting strong.

"Thanks to Director Huang for the gracious invitation that led to this meeting. There’s nothing particularly honorable about it for me. I get lots of invitations, and they all offer more money than SPD Bank. However, I chose SPD Bank primarily because we have other collaborations, and I had to show them some respect.

So, I don’t need to spout ’I’m honored to share my techniques with you’; on the contrary, it should be you who feel honored to listen to my lecture."

What a character—he offended all the clients straight away. Have you ever seen a teacher like this?

Director Liu nearly popped her eyes out, her palms slick with cold sweat.

Tang Xintian, on the contrary, seemed to appreciate his approach. Her eyes shimmered with approval, and her lips curled into a smile. She muttered softly, "Strike first to gain the upper hand, taking an unconventional path. I’ve caught on to your style... you don’t like the straight and narrow!"

Too shallow, that girl! Guys like him never care about ’proper’ or ’improper’ paths; they just go wherever is comfortable. Ah, she still has lessons to learn!

In the midst of skeptical whispers mingled with a touch of irritation, Han Lie continued with a relaxed demeanor.

"Don’t rush to oppose me. A confrontational mindset won’t benefit you at all. I’m your guide, not your trading opponent. If you can understand that, then listen carefully.

Next week has only five trading days. My judgment is easy to verify.

In just five days, the truth will out. Why the rush?

Look at the blackboard. Today’s lecture is all substance. Copy down the title for yourselves, and then let’s get started."

Although Han Lie wasn’t particularly loud or stern, his approach worked wonders.

Whether or not the clients believed him, they were mostly receptive.

Han Lie explained his predictions very bluntly: the outcome was either right or wrong, with no middle ground.

If the stock index did plunge next week, he was right.

If it rose, flatlined, or fell slightly, he would be wrong.

His predictions were blunt and decisive, with clear standards for judgment. The outcomes were easy to verify and would manifest shortly—these were the most attractive aspects.

If Han Lie was wrong, nothing would be affected.

But what if Han Lie’s prediction was right? Not listening now meant missing an opportunity to make money—big money. After all, the title said so: multiply several times over!

So, even though Han Lie was quite arrogant, most people were willing to listen wholeheartedly, and their confrontational spirit indeed lessened.

Tang Xintian marveled silently.

Impressive! Where on earth did this scoundrel learn psychology?! He has such a perfect grasp of human nature. He hadn’t just learned it; he could apply it skillfully. This wasn’t mere book smarts.

Tang Xintian stared intensely at Han Lie’s face, her curiosity piqued, her emotions highly stimulated.

Even though Brother Lie wasn’t targeting her specifically, this kind of sweeping charisma was simply irresistible.

Just watch my performance!

...

"Why exactly will there be a sharp decline?

The reasons are complex, and I’m not planning to explain any of it to you.

It’s not because I fear you’ll learn the methods. It’s because non-professionals simply can’t grasp it. I’d be wasting my breath, and you’d just be listening for entertainment. Next time, you still wouldn’t be able to make your own judgments. So why bother?

So let’s get straight to the conclusion—there will be a steep drop of at least 100 points next week.

If the index falls sharply, individual stocks will plummet even harder.

Specifically, the major benchmark components that support the index, like the SSE 50, SSE 180, and SZSE Component Index, don’t have much room left to fall. Therefore, the main drivers of the decline will be ordinary individual stocks that have performed relatively well until now. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

In other words, this will be a widespread, collective sell-off.

If you’re still heavily invested, you can start praying. If your total assets only drop by 20%, consider yourself lucky. A 30% drop will be normal, and 50% wouldn’t even be the worst of it.

Those who are currently out of the market, go home today, pop open a bottle of champagne, and celebrate in advance!

In the current stage, as the market forms a bottom, any position above 2,200 points is a huge risk. Once it falls below 2,000 points, it will be an opportunity of a kind not seen in eight years."
