The Rain Is Coming — But Can You Hold It?

Yes, make no mistake.

I have already seen it — an unprecedented downpour is about to fall from the heavens.

In the language of a weather forecast: we are about to receive an exceptionally large total rainfall, prolonged and sustained.

This rain will be extremely favorable for cultivating land, growing crops, and restoring the natural environment.

And yet, despite all this, the same human absurdities will play out right before your eyes as always.

Those who were already destined to make money will, as they always do, find ways to get their hands on it at the earliest opportunity — then go about acquiring quality assets wherever they can find them.

Even if quality assets are out of reach, they’ll at the very least swap out the junk in their portfolios for something better, achieving yet another round of wealth appreciation.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that because everyone seemed flat on their backs these past three years, the real players have lost their edge. The disruption this time was simply too unusual, too sudden — most people were caught off guard, completely unprepared.

The moment someone hands them an oxygen tube and they catch their breath, they’ll be right back at it.

Remember that line from the film 1942?

“Give me ten years, and I’ll be a landlord again.”

On the flip side, you’ll also witness a large wave of people who got lucky and made a little money — the newly rich — absolutely blowing up.

And the reason they blow up? They did it to themselves.

For most of the newly wealthy, money is both the thing they need most and the hardest thing to handle.

The majority of them will quickly lose their bearings when the next wave of opportunity hits.

They’ll be lured by all manner of novelties and distractions, while simultaneously overestimating their own abilities.

Driven by vanity, some will buy gaudy mansions in cities with no future.

Others will be lured in by packs of vultures who have had them in their sights for years — convinced to open businesses in industries they know absolutely nothing about.

Some will be even more reckless: never having worked with a serious trading team a day in their lives, yet bold enough to wade into crypto, stock manipulation schemes, futures, and commodities.

And then there are the simply foolish ones. Barely made a bit of money, and they’re already making a wreck of their personal lives — affairs, broken marriages, collapsed households, clouded minds.

Don’t think I’m exaggerating. The truth is, the vast majority of people cannot withstand the test of money.

From my own observation: ordinary wage earners start losing their grip at around 600,000–700,000 yuan in cash.

White-collar workers with common sense get disoriented somewhere just past a million.

Solid middle-class families hit their limit around five to six million.

The elite professional class can just barely keep their composure around ten million.

At every level, anyone who ends up with more money than their capacity can handle faces a 95% probability that it becomes a curse rather than a blessing.

Unimaginable disasters will arrive in ways too embarrassing to describe — absurd, laughable, and utterly devastating.

In the end: every last coin gone, nothing but scattered feathers on the ground.

I don’t want that for you. I don’t want you ending up broke with nothing to show for it.

I want you to seize this once-in-a-generation wave — this rescue surge — that is coming.

I want you to catch your share of the torrential rain about to fall. To hold onto it. To keep it.

So that every hard-won drop becomes the foundation of a life you actually enjoy.
