Shen Yun, vice president of a private equity fund, lives by his belief that "all decisions require ROI analysis." Marriage? A typical low-liquidity, high-volatility asset that should never be allocated.
Lu Jingchen, chairman of the family business, graduated with a doctorate in architecture and is good at using structural thinking to dismantle everything. Marriage? For a building with reasonable functions but unknown load-bearing capacity, the design plan needs to be repeatedly demonstrated.

But they ignored one variable -
The report did not measure the cost of "habit", did not evaluate the marginal benefits of "late night hot cocoa", and did not warn of the systemic risk of "flower shadows on the skylight".
Three years later, Shen Yun opened the report from that year and wrote four words in the "Final Recommendations" column:
Long term holding.
