Chapter 850: Chapter 352: Let the Storm Rage On!

In the midst of busyness, time always passes particularly quickly.

Saturday the 22nd, in the morning, the 50th floor of Zhongmei Company in the National Gold Phase 2 was in chaos.

"Recheck the sanitation!"

"Manager Zhao, Manager Jin asked if she should bring some models for temporary etiquette..."

"Nonsense! We are holding a high-end knowledge lecture, what use are those pretentious things?"

"Manager Lan, the ladies can’t hold on..."

"Alright, close the consultation channel!"

"Assistant Liang, two more VIPs have arrived in the reception area wishing to meet President Han, what do you think?"

"I’ll be right there."

"Hey, Group Leader Liu, you’re opening today’s lecture; how prepared are you?"

"I’ve prepared the coursework and everything; I’m just about to find President Han for review."

"Let’s go together; I’m ready on my end as well."

...

Today’s lecture consists of three parts.

The first part is Liu Yaohua’s keynote speech titled "The Current Global Economic Landscape—The Complex International Economic Environment in the Post-Crisis Era."

The second part features the Manager of the Research and Strategy Department, Chu Hongfang’s keynote speech titled "Domestic Macroeconomic Outlook and Policy Direction". 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The third part is Han Lie’s lecture.

The topic is unknown, takes the longest time, and might even include a brief fund sale at the end.

Liang Wu came out of the Chairman’s office and immediately noted Liu Yaohua and Chu Hongfang in the waiting area.

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Chu, please. The Chairman is waiting for your reports."

The two entered the office with their respective coursework, finding Han Lie diligently writing at the desk.

"Sit down."

Without lifting his head, Han Lie gestured for them to sit while continuing his work, halting their formalities.

"I have utmost confidence in the capabilities of both of you. Given the limited time, here’s the plan: briefly discuss your themes, logic, and conclusions; unless major issues arise, proceed according to your original thoughts..."

Thus, Chu Hongfang and Liu Yaohua began their reports.

Truth be told, as experts in their respective fields, their level of expertise was undoubtedly sufficient.

Liu Yaohua’s observation of the international economic environment was profound, particularly for America’s domestic conditions, and he accurately predicted the long bull trend of the US stock market over the next five years.

His viewpoint was heavily political—

"The decline of the European Union is inevitable; the consequences of long-term bleeding will not manifest overnight, but the rising trend of U.S. stocks and bonds reflects this historical process and will persist due to political factors.

I would advise the company’s clients to reduce Euro asset allocation and strengthen US Dollar asset allocation.

In the next 5 to 10 years, America, supplemented by our industrial chain, will enter a remarkably glorious peak period, becoming the unrivaled destination for long-term overseas investment..."

Is there an issue with this conclusion?

Absolutely none.

At this time point, no genius could foresee the bizarre future.

After consecutive terms with shared plates, America’s internal situation astonishingly spiraled, with severe deterioration leading to near-collapse of the Mi Yuan hegemony within a few short years.

However, from 2014 to 2019, allocating Mi Yuan assets was not only safe but indeed profitable.

Therefore, Liu Yaohua’s judgment was correct and precise; he simply underestimated the severity of the donkey-elephant political contention.

Later, global economic issues essentially boiled down to political issues, further traced back to internal power struggles causing chain reactions.

Of course, we are not part of "global economic issues"; we are the world’s only relatively independent economic entity.

Thus, the roots of Sky Capital remain in Huaxia.

"Very well, proceed with this line of reasoning; I see it’s viable... By the way, further enhance the specific asset allocation plans."

Han Lie nodded in approval, processing another document simultaneously.

With 89 intelligence points, he could afford such indulgence.

Next, it was Chu Hongfang’s turn to present.

His report topic was relatively dull, featuring substantial policy interpretations, and organizing a detailed domestic investment line post-recently concluded conference based on policy context.

It contained plenty of substantive content.

However, its limitation lies in indicating where opportunities exist without instructing how to seize them.

For instance, everyone recognizes profitability in significant environmental projects, but without technology, how do you participate merely with capital?

Many people realize their factories fall under outdated capacity, facing elimination, yet cling to a "delay for a day" mindset, enduring through hardship.

Thinking and doing are always different things; knowing and achieving remain distinct challenges, both difficult.

Therefore, macro analysis lacking practical implementation methods is typically labor-intensive and thankless.

People unable to act only find it entertaining; those capable are already silently prepared, with few truly benefiting.

Nevertheless, Zhongmei requires high perspective, high concept macro elucidation to establish an impressive image distinct from small-scale operations.

Though it may lack practical utility, it must exist.

Han Lie patiently listened to Chu Hongfang’s report, concisely commenting at the end: "It’s sufficiently substantive, now make the phrasing more relaxed and lively, as at least half of today’s guests lack professional backgrounds, aim for comprehension."

"Alright, I’ll have the younger team members polish it further."

Chu Hongfang departed with mixed emotions.

Happy for passing the review.

Concerned for not receiving the same approval as Liu Yaohua despite being a manager.
