Chapter 1004: Chapter 406: All Kinds of Blood-Profit Deals

"Is your company’s quantitative strategy being handled by you, Teacher Han?"

Yu Ping’an was very intrigued, completely captivated by Han Lie.

"Of course!"

And God Lie shamelessly spins a yarn, making it sound like the real deal.

"I’ve offered algorithm engineers a million-dollar annual salary and personally oversee strategy ideation and live trading tests, with the goal being far more than just scraping by.

Just from the current results, I think our quantitative department ranks among the top in the industry.

There aren’t many traders who can profit with big capital in this market, and quantitative companies are hard to hire, so I’m pretty much... Haha, Brother Yu, am I sounding a bit boastful?"

Wow, he’s really good at interrupting himself...

But you know what? Han Lie’s playbook truly works wonders.

"No, no!"

Yu Ping’an hurriedly defended God Lie, with a sincerity that was commendable.

"It’s the truth! In today’s market environment, you can’t find three private equity firms that consistently make profits in the entire Magic Capital, and on top of that, Teacher Han’s scale is so large now, it’s really commendable!

Outsiders might not understand the weight of the name ’God Lie’, but how could I not be aware?

To put it bluntly, even my father knows about you, Teacher Han, and has watched your lecture at SPD Bank, giving it nothing but praise—’A promising young talent!’

When chatting with friends, I call you the new generation’s leader, not to flatter you, but as a factual assessment.

So your quantitative strategy is rightfully valuable, and I deeply acknowledge it..."

Wow, he really knows how to talk!

Has Mr. Yu truly seen Han Lie’s lecture?

Not necessarily.

With so much work and socializing, there’s hardly time to care about trivial matters from a different circle, the likelihood is extremely low.

But Yu Ping’an brought in his father as leverage, fully raising the stakes in praising him.

Han Lie can certainly keep his composure, but Tang Xintian, Fang Yuan, and others were grinning ear to ear from the compliments.

If you respect and admire Han Lie, then we are good friends!

"Brother, come sit, come sit!"

Fang Yuan eagerly pulled Yu Ping’an to sit between him and Han Lie, ready for a deep and open conversation.

Yu Ping’an sat down with a smile, wrapping his arms around the shoulders of Han Lie and Fang Yuan.

It’s clear as day, Young Yu is no simple character.

With such a wealthy background that he couldn’t spend a tenth of the family fortune even if he indulged in a carefree life forever, yet he still manages to be smooth-talking and sociable, it’s truly admirable.

Yet this elite was easily swayed by Han Lie’s few words...

One has to admit, every new height is met with new challenges, it’s not a fault of strategy.

"Alright, Brother Yu, you’re definitely a friend worth making!"

God Lie raised his glass, tilted his head, and downed a cup of wine, showing the demeanor of someone willing to sacrifice for a confidant.

Yu Ping’an hurriedly joined him with a drink, then happily started discussing business.

"Teacher Han, I can reveal a bit about the cooperation plan to you right now—my father has quite a few investment projects piled up.

Some of them are key projects that Yunfeng Fund is planning to lead or co-invest in, don’t even think about those, outsiders can’t get in.

I trust you understand.

There’s another portion that Yunfeng Fund isn’t planning to invest in, yet this doesn’t mean the projects are bad, just that they don’t align with our objectives.

For example, projects in the gaming industry, e-sports, live-streaming, medical beauty industry, and others actually have the potential to grow significantly—if they can get their plans submitted to Yunfeng Fund and discussed by experts, they’re bound to have some exceptional points.

It’s just that Yunfeng Fund focuses on directions with higher tech content and doesn’t prefer investing in angel rounds, because the backers are... you know?"

Han Lie nodded slowly: "Understood, Yunfeng’s investors are top business moguls, their not favoring certain projects doesn’t mean they aren’t good, even to the contrary, they might be perfect for someone like me to practice with."

"Correct!"

Yu Ping’an clapped his hands, feeling great.

"Teacher Han, you indeed have a knack for equity investment; the most important quality is being down to earth, not daydreaming about investing in the next Penguin, the next Ah Li.

How could there possibly be room for another BAT in today’s internet industry?

The potential of Meituan and Didi is just so-so; starting from scratch, instead of aiming too high, we should really cast a wide net and scoop up more reliable small projects.

The upside may not be extravagant, but there’s always hope for hundred-fold returns, right?

Accumulating small victories to achieve big wins is the correct path of accumulation."

Yu Ping’an’s expression was very sincere, truly heartfelt.

Because he realized that using project plans from his father’s side that aren’t being utilized could swap for Han Lie’s quantitative strategy was becoming increasingly viable.

Han Lie is indeed pragmatic, and I enjoy dealing with practical people!

Yu Ping’an thinks he’s got a real chance to gain, but in truth, God Lie completely disdains his judgment.

Those seemingly indomitable BATs in the future will be just that; once the platform antitrust law kicks in, let’s see if they dare swagger anymore.

Yu Ping’an’s views are the absolute mainstream of the current era, but mainstream doesn’t mean correct.

This is the limitation imposed by the times.

Han Lie’s opportunity is precisely born out of this.

The giants are too confident, most of the time their external investments aren’t driven by "strong optimism", but by "I can’t let the competitors get their hands on it".

For example, the attitude of Ah Li’s investment department has always been "Anyway I have money, the loss or profit isn’t important, what matters is that the leading companies in emerging tracks shouldn’t fall into Penguin’s hands".
