On the weekend, there was a gathering of my fellow countrymen, with nearly twenty people at a big table. They were all small and large business owners.

I am interested in knowing about the business conditions of the bosses. However, when talking about business, they all say that it is difficult. Even if they make money, they cannot collect the debts.

It's quite dull here, so I changed the topic to stock trading, and it immediately became lively and exciting.

All here have made a lot of money, a big profit. Everyone is eager to speak up.

Chip, AI, low altitude, gold, innovative drugs, rare earth, great power... I feel confused after hearing them.

At the end, when I didn't say anything, you asked me what stocks I bought.

When I mentioned China National Petroleum Corporation and China Mobile, the whole table burst into laughter... full of sympathetic gazes...

My master whispered to me that it seems that the wind and water are turning to your high-interest state-owned enterprises...

I am so happy after hearing that, because the scene seems like it happened just yesterday.

In 2014, the same table of fellow countrymen asked me what stocks I bought when the growth board soared for more than a year and doubled in value.

I said that I had invested heavily in Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, and it caused laughter all around the table... It also caused a lot of sympathetic gazes... At that time, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank had fallen for four consecutive years.

Shortly after the gathering, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank surged, with its net worth doubling in three months.

However, I fully understand that in the next two months of this year and the next three years to come, it is impossible for my current portfolio net worth to double. An annualized return rate of 5% will make me happy beyond words.
