Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 534 - 243 Adding Fuel to the Fire

Tang Xintian felt an intense sense of urgency.

It had little to do with romantic feelings; it really wasn’t that serious.

To be more precise, the situation was roughly this: Tang Xintian discovered a large gold mine and approached it, full of anticipation, to dig with a shovel.

However, due to insufficient strength, poor tools, and unfamiliar techniques, among other reasons, she only managed to dig out a small chunk before others discovered the gold mine.

Now, everyone wanted to come and take a swing with a shovel. Some had greater strength, some had better skills than her—how could she not be anxious?

The most infuriating part was Director Liu beside her, constantly fueling the anxiety.

"Teacher Han is truly amazing—so handsome and talented. Look at how he’s charmed our female clients! Ah, if I were 10 years younger, I’d want to be friends with him too..." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

This friendship of yours... is it entirely proper?

Tang Xintian silently scoffed, gradually calming down.

Those who study psychology generally possess excellent emotional control. They aren’t without negative emotions; rather, they can quickly settle any disconcerting feelings without getting entangled for too long.

Tang Xintian kept reminding herself: Don’t rush. The banquet tonight is your stage to shine, Tangtang. You can do it!

As she was psyching herself up, Han Lie on stage seized yet another opportunity to show off.

An extremely portly man asked, "Teacher Han, why don’t you expand the fund’s scale?"

"I’m not particularly interested in sheer money."

The ever-confident Han Lie casually spread his hands, then turned and flipped back three pages on the PPT.

"This is the best of times, with countless opportunities to make a fortune; they’re everywhere. Look at the PPT. The current price of gold is around 330, right? It won’t hold. There’s a high probability of a unilateral decline throughout the upcoming year. Those capable of trading London gold could give it a try. Have you paid attention to Hong Kong stocks? Tencent’s current market value is less than 650 billion Hong Kong dollars, and in the future, it will rise to at least two or three trillion. Buying it now is a surefire profit. Have you heard of Bitcoin? It just rose to 1,000 US dollars apiece, marking the peak of a cycle. The next two or three years will be a good time to short it. See? As long as you don’t confine your thinking to your comfort zone and instead look at the wider world, opportunities are everywhere. But the problem is, any single opportunity has a limited capacity for capital. So why should I expand the fund’s scale and manage all that money? To work for others my whole life? I don’t do that; at most, I collaborate. Everyone here is intelligent and should understand the distinction."

Han Lie smiled as he put down the microphone, took a sip of water from his bottle, and casually surveyed his domain.

A low buzz rose from the audience again, the collective murmur of many people whispering and discussing among themselves.

Opportunities to make money are everywhere... Damn, he’s arrogant!

However, the difference in finance, compared to other industries, is that as long as you have real performance to back you up, the more arrogant and confident you are, the more likely you are to be trusted and supported. Because most people simply don’t understand your professional jargon and decision-making basis; they can only examine your historical performance, scrutinize your personal state, and then blindly guess whether you’re up to snuff or not.

Trading, above all, requires certainty, decisiveness, and emotional detachment.

Judging by the demeanor Han Lie projected, he was more than up to the task.

Quite a few people believed him.

"Teacher Han is truly awesome!"

"Right! My mom bought a lot of gold in the second half of the year. I thought at the time she was buying at a peak, and now it looks like I was right!"

"What’s that coin thingy?"

"Bitcoin! Many programmers at my company are casually mining that stuff; digging one up can sell for 1,000 US dollars!"

"No way! Mined? Where do you mine it from?"

"With mining rigs!"

"Mining... *konnichiwa*?! So we have to dig for them in Japan?"

"I don’t have an issue with the other things, but Tencent’s market value reaching 2 trillion? That’s nuts!"

"If someone else said it, I wouldn’t believe it. But Teacher Han saying so... it might not be impossible."

"I don’t understand, but I feel that everything Teacher Han says is right."

"...Are you just looking at his face?"

Amidst the uproarious discussion, Han Lie’s hints were also unveiled.

There were an astonishing number of sharp people present. Many had already caught on, looking thoughtfully at the young man on stage and weighing their options.

On one hand, they needed to confirm whether Han Lie truly had the ability to secure surefire profits. On the other hand, they also had to consider whether they possessed resources beyond money that could impress Han Lie.

These were not matters that could be resolved in a short span of time.

Hence, during the remaining twenty-odd minutes, the mood in the classroom gradually settled.

Han Lie was glad to keep things simple. He casually flipped through the PPT a few more times and considered his part done.

Unfortunately, the allotted time wasn’t up yet. Tang Xintian vehemently shook her head and gestured for Han Lie not to leave the stage, so Teacher Han had to keep his post, spending most of the remaining time on the Q&A session.

Without attending such a lecture, one can never imagine what kind of questions this group of clients would ask.

"Teacher Han, do you have a girlfriend yet?"

"Teacher Han, my husband keeps losing money in the stock market and won’t listen to advice. What should I do?"

"Teacher Han, what’s your view on the environmental protection industry?"

"Teacher Han, where is your company located? I’d like to visit for tea when I have time..."

"Teacher Han, I’m good buddies with your company’s Mr. Huang. I’d like to invite you for a casual meal later. Would you honor me with your presence?"

...

There were many questions, but they were actually quite uninspired.

Han Lie didn’t indulge them much, casually brushing off their questions.
