Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Upon entering the club, Meng Chuan was still overwhelmed by the grand scene before him.

He had initially thought it was just a private gathering of a few investors, but the scene before him far exceeded his expectations.

The venue was spacious, bright, and luxuriously decorated.

A huge electronic screen stands in front, with three magnificent sofas placed below it.

A dozen or so rows of tables and chairs were neatly arranged below the stage.

Each table had a name tag on it.

It was clearly meticulously planned.

What surprised Meng Chuan even more was that there were even TV station staff members adjusting the equipment on the side.

It instantly elevates the level of sophistication.

"Mr. Xu, is this how you usually talk in private?"

Meng Chuan followed behind Xu Jiu and asked in a low voice.

I couldn't help but think to myself, the world of the rich is truly extravagant.

Even a private gathering is done with such fanfare.

"Oh! No, it's not usually this formal. It's just that we heard you were here! Many big shots want to meet you, this mysterious retail investor."

Xu Jiu explained with a smile:

"With more people coming, we simply raised the bar a bit."

Meng Chuan smiled helplessly:

"Mr. Xu, you flatter me. I just stumbled upon it by accident. It's not as mysterious as you all make it out to be."

Meng Chuan took it as Xu Jiu being polite.

He was not fully aware of his current influence in the financial world.

However, before Meng Chuan could recover, a group of VIPs dressed in sophisticated suits and exuding extraordinary auras swarmed around him.

His eyes were full of curiosity and inquiry.

"Mr. Xu, this must be the Meng Chuan you mentioned. To achieve so much at such a young age, he truly is a hero among young people!"

An elderly man with gray hair but a sprightly spirit was the first to extend his hand to Meng Chuan, his eyes full of admiration:

"Hello, I'm Zheng Donglai from Xijin Capital. Mr. Xu told me you were very young, but I didn't believe it at first. It seems the younger generation is really pushing the older generation aside! We old guys are really getting old."

"President Zheng, you are too modest. You are all seniors, and I, a newcomer, need your guidance and support!"

Meng Chuan dared not presume and quickly shook hands with Zheng Donglai.

You can't hit someone who's smiling at you!

Moreover, given that Zheng Donglai was old enough to be his grandfather, Meng Chuan dared not be presumptuous.

"Mr. Meng, you really opened our eyes in that last crude oil futures battle! Could you tell us how you made such an accurate prediction?"

Another middle-aged man followed up with a question, but his eyes held a hint of doubt.

They seemed to find it hard to believe that a young man like Meng Chuan could possess such formidable skills.

"This is Fu Wenjun, a top investment advisor at Da'an Insurance and one of the best traders in China."

Xu Jiu quickly introduced the middle-aged man to Meng Chuan.

"It wasn't a prediction, it was just luck."

Meng Chuan smiled and said in a nonchalant tone.

Fu Wenjun's arrogant attitude made Meng Chuan uncomfortable.

"Luck itself is also a kind of strength. In fact, who in finance doesn't have five parts strength and five parts luck?"

Zheng Donglai said with a smile.

"Luck is certainly important, but the financial market is unpredictable. If you only rely on luck, you're bound to stumble sooner or later!"

However, at that moment, Ge Wei, dressed in a suit, suddenly stepped forward.

Ge Wei hadn't expected to run into Meng Chuan here.

He was still thinking about how to use his power to find Meng Chuan!

I never expected to find it so easily.

But this rascal turned out to be the legendary mysterious retail investor.

Ge Wei had originally intended to meet the legendary young talent today.

Now, it's all so boring.

Especially after he learned about the argument between Meng Chuan and Yu Youwei at the club entrance.

He had absolutely no good feelings towards Meng Chuan.

All he could think about was how to get back at Meng Chuan.

"What Mr. Ge said is correct. People can't rely on luck alone, especially those who are in high positions and often like to walk at night. Sooner or later they will stumble."

Meng Chuan responded with a faint smile.

Meng Chuan's words were ambiguous.

But anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Meng Chuan's words had a hidden meaning.

Ge Wei was a senior executive at the central company.

Whether he likes to "walk at night" or not, only he knows.

Of course, Meng Chuan's words were not unfounded.

During the 2015 stock market crash, the central company, which was an "accomplice," was punished later.

A number of high-ranking officials were reshuffled.

As for whether Ge Wei actually exists, Meng Chuan doesn't know.

After all, Meng Chuan was just a nobody at the time and had no involvement in the stock market.

I just skimmed through the news.

"What do you mean? Young man, I advise you not to get carried away by temporary success. Life is a long road ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Ge Wei said with a gloomy expression.

If it weren't for the large number of influential figures present, Ge Wei, considering his status and image, would have loved to start cursing directly.

"Alright, alright, Mr. Ge, the exchange meeting is about to begin. Let's all take our seats!"

As the host, Xu Jiu quickly tried to smooth things over.

Although Xu Jiu was unaware of the conflict between Meng Chuan and Ge Wei.

However, considering their sharp and confrontational conversation, as well as what just happened at the door...

Xu Jiu knew that there was a significant conflict between the two.

Meng Chuan hadn't expected that he would be seated in the first row.

On the left are Liu Qian and Chen Yiyi.

This thrilled Chen Yiyi, who had never received such treatment before.

Xu Jiu sat to Meng Chuan's right.

However, what no one noticed was...

Ge Wei, sitting in the second row, stared at the back of Meng Chuan's head.

Then look at the host on stage who is still adjusting the equipment.

A cold smile crept across his lips.

Then, without Meng Chuan's knowledge, Ge Wei got up and walked towards the host.

After whispering a few words to the host, Ge Wei revealed a sly smile, as if his scheme had succeeded.

"Hello everyone, I am the host of this exchange meeting, my name is Wu Xiaobo. It is an honor to host this investment exchange meeting."

Shortly after, the young man who had been whispering with Ge Wei earlier went on stage to give a speech.

"Wu Xiaobo is a leading figure in the field of self-media."

Xu Jiu, who was standing next to Meng Chuan, whispered in Meng Chuan's ear:

"His 'Wu Xiaobo Channel' mainly focuses on entrepreneurs, businesses, social hot topics, and the global macroeconomic situation."

"Moreover, he has written extensively on financial books."

"He is also an outstanding entrepreneur."

Meng Chuan nodded.

Wu Xiaobo has gained recognition from so many big names in the self-media field, and many of them are willing to be interviewed by him.

This in itself is enough to demonstrate his ability.

However, to Meng Chuan's utter surprise,

After Wu Xiaobo's impassioned speech, the topic was immediately steered towards him.

"Actually, I know that our exchange conference was largely triggered by the mysterious retail investor who made a killing in the crude oil market some time ago. And I myself am very curious about this mysterious retail investor."

Wu Xiaobo paused for a moment, then continued:

"I believe that you esteemed individuals, like myself, are eagerly anticipating meeting our mysterious retail investor. After just some discussion, he has agreed to be interviewed, so let's proceed directly with the interview to give you a better and more comprehensive understanding of him. Now, let's welcome Mr. Meng to the stage with applause."

Meng Chuan was completely stunned, a million questions flashing through his mind.

How did the planned exchange turn into an interview?

And most importantly, who just communicated with him?

When did he agree to go on stage for an interview?

Meng Chuan looked at Xu Jiu with a puzzled expression.

"I don't know, this step wasn't in the plan. I'll go ask."

Xu Jiu was also completely confused.

Although the standards have been raised, it's still a platform for everyone to exchange ideas.

Some influential figures will volunteer to go on stage and share their insights.

However, there was no interview with Meng Chuan.

Otherwise, Xu Jiu would definitely have consulted Meng Chuan beforehand so that Meng Chuan could be prepared.

"Don't ask, someone is deliberately trying to embarrass me. Since you want to interview me, then come on!"
