When the market is in an upward cycle, it gives people a certain illusion.
It seems that making money is too easy, accumulating wealth is too effortless, and I'm incredibly capable.
The last point is especially deadly.
When someone, during a market uptrend, makes a fortune relying on their connections, network, and luck, and believes they're earning big bucks purely because of their personal capabilities.
Then once the market cycle starts to decline, and everyone has a tough time.
Such people often fall the hardest.

But the result was that he drew too much attention because he overdid it.
However, this actually helped Wanda avoid the real estate trap.
Yet, this incident didn't calm Old Wang; instead, it made him feel the mandate of heaven was with him.
