1997: The Silent Rise of a Financial Tycoon

1997–2017.

From 2,000 yuan to 500 billion.

From an orphan in Xia Ye Village to the man who makes the rules.

His name is Chen Mo.

His godfather passed on the tools: the ability to see clearly and seize the moment. The tools became his eyes.

Li Jianguo taught him the techniques: candlestick charts, moving averages, stop-losses, and take-profits. The techniques became his hands.

Gu Yuanshan passed on the principles: seeing the big picture, connections, and cycles. The principles became his soul.

Chen Mo wielded the tools, mastered the techniques, absorbed the principles, and came to understand the Way.

The Way exists in all things, hidden and formless, while trends leave traces.

There are three stages to mastering a trend:

First, perceive it.

See the tides rise and fall, see the warmth and coldness of human nature, and see who you are.

In three years, he turned 2,000 yuan into 2.06 million. Shen Jing went abroad, Su Qing transferred schools, and he moved forward alone.

Second, follow it.

Don't hide when the tide comes, and don't chase when it recedes. Rise with the current and ride the waves.

In seven years, he turned 2.06 million into 1 billion. Zhao Xue lost herself, Su Ya left for Hong Kong, and he alone liquidated his holdings and walked away at 6,124 points.

Third, create it.

Become the tide, the wave, the trend everyone else follows.

In ten years, he turned 1 billion into 500 billion. From a silent financial leviathan to the man who makes the rules. At last, she appeared.

He had learned the techniques, absorbed the principles, and understood the Way. His doubts remained, and the road ahead was long.
