Chapter 1185: Explosive Growth in Three Dimensions

Time marches on steadfastly, and Han Lie’s assets are skyrocketing visibly.

The most fundamental dimension, of course, is personal wealth.

According to asset valuation calculations, Han Lie is now securely in the billion-level range.

The main sources of wealth are, first, the already-sold Dream Garden, with profits in the tens of billions; second, the funds that are charging ahead.

None of the funds have reached settlement yet, but they have all surpassed the dividend threshold long ago, and the company can calculate the profit attributable to the manager daily.

Without leverage, the total market value of the four funds is currently over 20 billion, and the single fund Supernova One has already touched the 10 billion mark.

Out of the current 20 billion, less than 5 billion belongs to Han Lie.

However, if it doubles, then the new 20 billion in profits would be almost 80% Han Lie’s.

The main point is whether doubling is difficult or not.

The conclusion is, it’s not difficult.

Because the leverage is quite aggressive, the net asset value grows by 5% to 8% daily on average, doubling in just a dozen trading days.

The entire month of October has been a breakout period for the net asset value growth of the funds under him; before the next wave of position adjustments and stock changes, it’s basically like picking up money with eyes closed every day.

From a net worth of a billion to 30 billion, Han Lie just needs to wait another month.

However, on the other hand, measuring from the perspective of disposable wealth, the current Han Lie is still very poor.

The money in his pockets that he can spend amounts to less than a billion; trying to do something significant, he’s quite strapped.

This isn’t a case of humblebragging; Han Lie is different from other tycoons.

Other tycoons are eager to charge even a roll of toilet paper to the company; any place where money is spent, it’s spent on the company level, so their theoretical net worth directly equates to spending power.

But Han Lie would not be so wasteful.

This kind of maneuver can indeed save on taxes to the maximum, turning the effect of spending a million into a million and a half.

However, to the calculated Han, spending a million and a half directly, seemingly losing 500,000 in cash upfront, secretly earning 5 million in experience is far more valuable.

Doing a lower-level conversion—when the initial base was only 2 minutes, 5 million experience points are roughly equivalent to 1 minute of duration.

Would you ask Dong Ge if he would be willing to spend 50 million for 10 minutes?

Dong Ge: Shut up! I’ll give you 500 million, max it out for me!

At this level, the value of money is already far inferior to experience.

Therefore, Han Lie can only transfer company profits to his personal account, pay taxes in full, and then proceed to consume.

Of course, due to the nature of the company, most of his income doesn’t need to be taxed at the highest personal income tax rate of 45%, instead reported at 20%, which is considered a small benefit.

Nevertheless, Han Lie can still sit firmly on the throne of Magic Capital’s number one individual taxpayer, emphasizing his hot-blooded patriotism.

…

The second skyrocketing dimension is Han Lie’s fame.

In the past, Han Lie was most known for and praised for his sharpness in financial markets and his strong operational strategies.

As time moved into the middle to late October, when the stock index began making a determined push towards 3800 points, “Mr. Han” started showing signs of breaking out beyond his usual circles.

The reason?

The reason is simple: the industry thoroughly convinced.

Actually, Han Lie hasn’t accepted more interviews, even though requests from various financial media are increasing daily.

Due to the influence of Father Gu, Han Lie has quite a good relationship with local media in Magic Capital.

The editor-in-chief of First Financial is even pushing for Han Lie to become an honorary director of the Financial Media Committee, giving face to the point of overflow, yet Han Lie still hasn’t accepted any interviews from any media, let alone appeared on television.

Ordinary shareholders can’t see any speeches, comments, or reports of Han Lie on any financial website.

The connections Father Gu helped pull were completely used by Han Lie to stay hidden.

Yet, even with such caution, it hasn’t hindered his fame.

If you’ve ever been a VIP client at a bank, you might be familiar with the following scenario—

You go to handle some business, and the corresponding customer service manager rattles on and on, pitching you financial products. You’re not interested, so she turns around and asks what you think about funds. You say you like dabbling in stocks, and she starts describing: our bank has a cooperation relationship with some expert from some company, and recently, it’s been like this and that…

Most of the time, you might sneer at this.

But there are exceptions, like when she outlines a super impressive figure with strong facts in just a few words. You become half curious, hesitating in your plan to leave, and start asking more.

Then the customer service manager regretfully informs you: Sorry, the expert’s products have long been snapped up, but our bank’s chief analyst is about to start a seminar, completely continuing the expert’s thinking. Would you like to attend?

You decide to attend.

Then, you spend the entire morning listening to the chief analyst babble on macro and micro perspectives, your head buzzing, feeling like it was all for nothing, except you remember one name that popped up frequently from his mouth—Mr. Han.

It’s understandable, the finance circle has always liked borrowing fame, using the most renowned person in partnerships to boast.

Before 2012, various roadshows were borrowing Wang Yawei’s fame.

From September 2014 until 2012, everyone was riding on Chief Xu’s fame.

Now they’ve started borrowing Han Lie’s fame naturally.

Moreover, it’s not as outsiders imagine, thoughtlessly borrowing, but it’s borrowed cleverly, with elegance.

For instance, at Northeast Securities’ high-end client seminar in October, their chief strategy analyst Chen Guodong was drawing lines swiftly and confidently with a laser pointer at the low positions since the year’s start.
