People in finance must be adept at persuading, promoting, and hyping; otherwise, you will only be able to sheepishly seek out funding instead of having investors knocking at your door.

Han Lie's marketing skills had already maxed out at Level 3, and he knew too well how to seize an opportunity.

On the other hand, he also wanted everyone to see his gratitude and willingness to repay kindness.

The gemstone was indeed bought for Pan Ge. No one knew yet, but once he gave it away, Panzi and Annie would certainly not keep their mouths shut.

By the time the right people were in the know, Han Lie's personal image would be well-rounded. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

This was also part of shaping his personal brand.

Human nature is quite intriguing. Regardless of social status, people themselves might not be capable of repaying a drop of kindness with a gushing spring, but they love to befriend those who do. When given the chance to offer a little help to such individuals, they are guaranteed to rush to do so with great eagerness.

"A just cause enjoys abundant support." How exactly should "a just cause" be interpreted? It means doing what others believe is right; the harder it is, the more it's worth praising. Consequently, people will inevitably offer help out of admiration, agreement, or for some potential benefit.

While such help certainly has its limits, often, all we need to get things done is just that initial breakthrough.

This is a very ancient and classic piece of Huaxia wisdom.

Our civilization has continued for five thousand years, emerging as the only surviving ancient civilization in the modern world. This inherent wisdom and philosophy is the core reason for that.

Thus, Han Lie was willing to cooperate with Tiffany, allowing his purchase—and by extension, himself—to be showcased in a bustling district, at their flagship store.

He even happily let Cartier overcharge him.

Now, it seemed his strategy had succeeded—he indeed had garnered the utmost attention from Tiffany.

But, too much attention leads to new problems—a price tag of 1.31 million Mi Yuan was too extreme, extreme enough for Tiffany to drop its pride and cause such a commotion in the mall.

What was meant to spread only within a limited circle had now reached a wider scope, gaining all the prerequisites to become a hot social topic.

However, Han Lie neither wanted nor should be exposed at this point.

So, when Assistant Liang, panting, wearing a hat and sunglasses, rushed back, Han Lie signaled for her to call Tiffany's representatives.

"Our boss has arrived, wearing a hat and sunglasses. Please send someone to welcome him," she said on the phone.

After hanging up, Han Lie said to Liang Wu, "You wait in the car. Now is not the right time for exposure."

"Okay!"

Liang Wu nodded decisively and walked back to the underground parking lot.

Then, Han Lie, all by himself, approached Tiffany discreetly and composedly.

At first, no one noticed him.

But as Tiffany's top executives swarmed out, hurriedly crossed the red carpet, and arranged themselves outside to receive Han Lie, the onlooking crowd naturally erupted.

"Who's that?"

"Tiffany's domestic top brass are collectively welcoming someone—wow, he must be incredibly important!"

"Who is it? Could it be the son of that billionaire Wang?"

"No, no, I've seen young Master Wang; his head is at least one size larger..."

"Have these people lost their minds? Ignoring a bunch of regular customers and closing the store to welcome one young guy. Can he buy more than hundreds of us combined?"

"Quick, take pictures! If we get the details, our bonus is secured!"

...

"Yuanyuan, he's really so stylish and charming... I think I've found the man of my dreams!"

"Hey, wake up! Do you even know who he is?"

"I don't know... Wait, you called me out here, do you know?!"

"Of course! His last name is Han, a rising star of Magic Capital's financial circle, a top-tier rich second-generation, and undefeated in the financial markets. His personal worth must now be in the tens of billions."

"Damn! Yingying, I suggest you'd better not get your hopes up. It's okay to like impressive men, but this one might be a bit too much..."

...

"Honey, is this exhibition the one that young man put together?"

"Yep, I heard that it's because he paid the shipping and insurance fees that Tiffany brought their treasures to Magic Capital. Honey, can you really get me an invitation for tomorrow?!"

"Umm... I don't know him..."

"That's not what you said before you came! Didn't you say you knew all the top tycoons in Magic Capital?"

"But he might not be from Magic Capital... Alright, wait, I'll ask around!"

"Hello, President Liu, it's Old Hao! Yeah, I have something to ask. About that thing today at your mall with Tiffany—they made quite a scene welcoming some young master, who was it?"

"What? You don't know either?"

"Tiffany's keeping it a secret? But you must have some insider info, right?"

"I only know his last name is Han, and he's from the financial circle... Who might know then? The Jin sisters? Oh, oh, oh... I haven't had any dealings with them, but no problem, I'll ask someone else."

...

"Is that Teacher Han? He looks so young!"

"I heard he's not even 25 yet!"

"Good... a bit older than us... Damn, my mom doesn't get this kind of reception when she goes to Tiffany..."

"How did this guy make it? He's so mysterious, isn't he?"

"I don't know. I just know his predictions are incredibly accurate, and everyone in the private equity circle is trying to get one of his investment spots."

"Hey, Sister Lu, I think I heard Embroidered Pillow mention him..."

"Who? Guo Yihuai?! How did they get connected?"

"I don't know... He was bragging to me the other day, I didn't listen carefully, but it sounds like it was him..."

"Let's go, call Guo Yihuai, tell him to get over here right away!"
