Recently, the days of my Sima Chuck have become boiling because of a report on Phoenix.com. This news was like a sudden tornado, completely uncovering the territory of my small house hidden in the United States, it turned out that it was not a few cottages as imagined by the outside world, but as many as eight luxury houses worth 71 million US dollars.
Brother Hu Taijun, the big guy who once ridiculed me in public that I wanted to sell my small house in the United States and switch to the A-share market, if I learned the truth, I am afraid that I will have mixed feelings. Behind his self-deprecation about the ups and downs of the stock market and the surging flow like a tide, he may secretly think: It turns out that in the big chessboard of global asset allocation, I have quietly taken a step forward in a seemingly low-key but far-reaching layout.
In 2021, I paid $87,402 in taxes to the U.S. government on my tiny house, which is undoubtedly a strong testament to my investment wisdom. Over the years, with my sharp market insight and unique investment vision, I have been able to navigate the world of capital operation and accumulate abundant wealth. However, I have always been aware of the growth of personal wealth, and I know that money is not the only measure of the value of life.
Although I have so many "little houses" abroad, the deep affection for my homeland has never wavered. Just like myself, many ordinary people, even with limited financial resources, are willing to give everything they have to support the construction of their hometowns, such as the beautiful Hangzhou. In contrast, as a child who walked out of the hutongs, this turmoil has brought my loyalty to the country under public scrutiny, as if to show that I have given relatively little to the country.
At the same time, Dr. Jim revealed a deeper truth through an article: the assets owned by the Sima Nan (Yu Li) family in the United States are not as simple as a simple small house, but are actually a huge real estate empire, with a total value of more than 10 million US dollars. Just a few days ago, I was arguing with Mr. Hu about buying a small house in the United States, and now I am facing a challenge to test my integrity and courage in the face of such detailed data revelations.
This public opinion surge caused by the "small house" undoubtedly vividly demonstrates the powerful ability to monetize traffic in the era of Internet celebrity economy. I and many online opinion leaders have guided public opinion through social media, which has not only attracted the attention of countless fans, but also successfully converted traffic into commercial value. However, the sustainability of this successful model driven by topicality, controversy, and attention, and its impact on social values is something that every one of us in the middle of it needs to reflect on. After all, we can't ignore the values of truth, justice, and morality, no matter when or where.
