00:00The endless source of business ideas is trends, Finance Hacked warmly greets you and our dear
00:06friends. I'd like to ask you, is getting rich through a startup really just a matter of luck?
00:14The failure rate for new ventures is very high, so people think launching a startup is extremely
00:20difficult, right? Yet why can some entrepreneurs easily launch dozens of projects, make money from
00:28them, then choose the most profitable ones and abandon the rest? Why do some people work their
00:35whole lives and still run at a loss? Why do most people believe the easiest way to make money is
00:42to be an employee? In fact, that's just an excuse people use to avoid thinking, when you work for
00:50someone else, you simply do what you're told. From my perspective, the easiest way to make money is to
00:58start a business yourself, you just figure out what needs doing and then have others do it.
01:04Because of this, when people set out on the path of entrepreneurship or wealth building,
01:09they often feel as though a huge door stands before them, and that door is simply not knowing what to do.
01:17To open that door you don't need courage, startup capital, or even intelligence.
01:22I can say with full responsibility that none of those things directly determine your ability to
01:29make money. Actually, you only need a key to open the door, and most people fail to make money because
01:37they never find that key. What is the key?
01:42Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi and Billionaire, once said, to start a business you must position your pig to face
01:51the wind. If it's facing the right way, even a pig can fly. When I first heard that, I immediately
02:00felt I'd found the key. No exaggeration, I felt as though I'd opened a door during meditation or
02:08quiet reflection. You may think this sounds trite, but only because you haven't learned to visualize a
02:15saying. Let me ask, during the pandemic, if you'd been selling masks in bulk, would you have made money and
02:23mask sellers then didn't need to advertise, they sold out anyway? That was the trend.
02:31Whenever an epidemic hits, rumours spread, and people rush to buy rice, oil, salt, even toilet paper.
02:39In those moments there's no need for a business plan or cost-profit analysis. You can charge whatever
02:47you like, close your eyes and make money, right? How do ordinary people react when they see news like
02:55that? On Facebook and TikTok, I saw many mocking, why are people so foolish? Yet they still rush to buy,
03:05because without doing so they couldn't live. That's the normal reaction of the masses, and you can't
03:11blame them. But the keen-eyed spotted the pattern early. History repeats, SARS, bird flu, each time
03:21essential goods spiked in price. Those who saw the trend early hoarded supplies and profited.
03:28Some only did it once in their life and became wealthy. I'm not teaching you to profit from
03:35disaster, that's ethically wrong. I'm simply using an extreme example to show what it means to let the
03:43wind lift your pig. The key is opening the right door. That's why most bosses carry a Buddhist scripture
03:51to remind themselves to stay on the right path. In today's video, I'll explain exactly how to find
03:59this trend key and open the legitimate door to wealth, the content will be extremely detailed.
04:06Since many of you complain you don't know which projects to pursue, I'll give you numerous project
04:12ideas along with the principles behind them. So please like this video, and you can return to
04:19the playlist whenever you need. If you strike it rich later, come back and share your good news.
04:27But let me stress, this channel shares wealth-building mindsets for investors, entrepreneurs,
04:34and the wealthy. If you don't want to miss this, consider subscribing and ringing the bell.
04:42Why do I say trends are the key to opening the door to wealth, in fact, discovering and grasping a
04:49trend means you foresee some events and overall directions of the future? Possessing such information
04:56already holds enormous economic value. There are two core points here, please listen patiently.
05:04These are introductory principles, later I'll present many concrete projects for your reference.
05:10Don't say you don't know what to do to make money anymore. The first scenario, when a major event occurs,
05:19we can predict what it will affect next, then forecast how related goods prices will move.
05:26Prices can only rise or fall, right? And we can profit from those price swings.
05:33What do I mean? For example, at the start of a pandemic, we all knew overseas conditions were severe.
05:44So we could predict most stocks would be sold off in panic, which isn't even prediction, history shows it.
05:51Knowing prices would fall, you could trade derivatives to profit on the downturn.
05:56Also, everyone knows vaccine and logistics stocks would surely rise, vaccine production cost is low per dose.
06:06You just have to read the news. The whole world needs vaccines, and only a few companies develop them,
06:14so only those firms can succeed. Thus you could buy those stocks at low prices and sell when they rose.
06:21Of course, that's a simple example, you must research carefully. But you'll see that understanding a trend's
06:31subsequent development gives you a chance to profit from the related commodities price fluctuations.
06:37The second scenario, an event may alter market supply and demand for certain products,
06:43and we can profit by meeting that demand. In other words, after a big event,
06:49new market needs often arise. If you're first to meet them, you can secure huge initial profits,
06:57an influx of wealth into your pocket. What do I mean? When smartphones first popularized,
07:06most people thought only about how to earn enough to buy a high-end phone, and even today many think that
07:12we're going to be able to buy a high-end phone. But if you ponder what smartphone ubiquity leads to next,
07:17what the future looks like in five or ten years, you train your mind to project forward.
07:24I'll give examples. I might think people will spend more time staring at screens, so vision will worsen.
07:33Everyone uses apps constantly, so the app industry will boom.
07:37Mobile shopping will surge. As everyone buys phones, used phone trading will heat up.
07:46These are trends spawned by smartphone adoption.
07:51Next is mobile internet usage. Unlike traditional internet, you can go online anywhere.
07:58That means easier access and more enjoyable mobile browsing.
08:02Eventually computers may become unnecessary. What does that imply?
08:10Internet-related professions will explode while physical industries fade.
08:16Why? Because AI will outperform us in productivity. A clear future trend is that intangible services will
08:25gain higher value than physical goods. Whoever controls data flow controls the world.
08:32My point, after an event, a chain of effects on market demands or product value creates business
08:40opportunities. That's a trend. Once you know trends can make money, a new question arises, first you must
08:48detect the trend, then you must know how to profit from it, that is, how to operate.
08:54Don't worry, I'll share all of it step by step. This knowledge is worth millions.
09:03To me, trends divide into two broad types. The first is time-based trends, at certain times,
09:11certain events very likely recur. These follow clear rules, I call them time trends.
09:18For example, every year at mid-autumn festival mooncakes sell like crazy. At Lunar New Year,
09:27nuts and dried foods fly off shelves. In summer, short-sleeved t-shirts outsell long sleeves.
09:37These are clear, time-linked trends, for instance, a friend abroad noticed that near Christmas.
09:43Lead flame lights sell extremely well. Factories ran overtime to produce them.
09:52So he went to China, found a wholesale supplier, and resold them abroad, making a small fortune quickly.
10:01Inspired by him, I began my own wholesale business.
10:05That's a time-trend example. The second type is event-based trends, eventologically leads to event B,
10:14which triggers event C, forming a real-world sequence, I call that an event trend.
10:21For example, if you forget your girlfriend's birthday, A, she'll be furious, B.
10:27A leads directly to B. Another example, pandemic-plus rumours led to essential goods shortages and price hikes,
10:38an event trend. Understand? Sensing the times makes you talented.
10:46So how do we detect trends? Simple, use history to illuminate the present, study the past to predict the future.
10:55Please listen patiently.
10:59Grasping this is wealth-building enough to avoid struggle. Besides examining past and present,
11:05we must consider next week, next month, next year, even 5 or 10 years ahead, what will happen in our country, region, or industry.
11:16This is observing the world at greater depth and over a longer timeline to spot long-term trends.
11:22For example, I'm making this video in January 2025, with Lunar New Year approaching.
11:30We must think, what will happen in the coming month?
11:35I recall past holidays, people travel or visit relatives, causing traffic jams.
11:42You return home, reunite with old friends, attend gatherings, many drink too much and gain weight in a few days.
11:50These are predictable during Lunar New Year.
11:56Every month I spend days reflecting on such patterns, you can train your thinking this way, too.
12:03So what to do with these insights?
12:06How to make money, I recall after one new year, I heard a rumour, a friend opened a weight loss class and it was packed.
12:15In half a month he made tens of thousands of dollars.
12:20Others envied him, lamenting, why wasn't I that lucky?
12:25Then returned to their grind.
12:28I believe we've all seen this, someone does something and gets rich.
12:33And we say, they're talented, they're lucky, and then nothing changes.
12:39When we apply the mindset of using past events to view the present, we know people gain weight every new year, an obvious phenomenon.
12:49Ordinary folks don't think about it.
12:52Some notice but do nothing.
12:54Others see the opportunity, if everyone gains weight at new year, many will regret it and want to lose weight.
13:03Could I profit by offering a weight loss service or product?
13:07So the next new year, while others rested, he planned, designed the course, found instructors, negotiated, and prepared marketing.
13:19When new year ended and people returned to work struggling, he launched his programme and profited immediately.
13:27People often say there are no business ideas.
13:31I say, if you do this, you'll make a tidy sum.
13:35But I won't, I have plenty of projects, just none with low returns.
13:42What will I do?
13:44During new year, there are traffic jams and idle downtime, waiting for others, lacking entertainment, visiting distant relatives.
13:55Everyone's been there.
13:57If you create time-killer apps, like Flappy Bird, that's a business opportunity.
14:02But I still won't do that, the returns aren't high enough.
14:09If I did, I'd start a company that helps others develop apps.
14:13You give me an idea, I make it real.
14:18I've noticed many new apps launch every new year.
14:22Why are they hot?
14:24After they succeed, others want to copy them.
14:27If I help those imitators, isn't that a business?
14:33If I prepare everything a year ahead, I'll be the go-to app developer when demand returns.
14:40Start-ups with good ideas can avoid hiring entire dev teams, saving huge costs.
14:47Even cash-strapped firms can launch professional apps.
14:53That small effort, big value, win-win deals earn the most.
14:57When you help others make money, they're happy to pay you.
15:01That's a random idea I'm openly sharing.
15:05You find entrepreneurship hard because you've never exercised this thinking.
15:10Your mind has been stuffed with orthodox teachings that start-ups are hard.
15:18Why does that feel comfortable?
15:20Because it gives you a reason not to act.
15:24I once heard, if everyone in the world started a business, who would work for others?
15:31Some use that to criticize entrepreneurs, but I love it.
15:35The world needs great people willing to work for us.
15:40We should celebrate and respect everyone's choice, right?
15:45And I believe anyone listening now shares that spirit, so beyond subscribing, focus on the
15:51highest value part of what I say, how to leverage trends faster.
15:57Better and more effectively to make money.
16:01First, satisfy needs more quickly.
16:05When you spot a trend, new market demand may arise.
16:10If you prepare early and become the first to meet that demand, you gain a speed advantage
16:15to grab the first profits.
16:18For example, today students face growing academic pressure, a clear trend.
16:25More paperwork, rising myopia rates among students, another trend.
16:30I noticed this need, myopia prevention and treatment for students.
16:37Demand is surging.
16:39Many know this but do nothing.
16:42A friend acted, he opened clinics near primary and secondary schools offering physical therapy
16:48to improve or reduce myopia.
16:52Instantly, parents queued up.
16:54Within a year, he opened five clinics.
17:00Each earning tens of thousands of dollars monthly, that's an impressive model.
17:06Before others entered, the first mover grabbed the best slice.
17:09Remember, decide who you want to be, then mimic the mindsets of successful people you admire,
17:17their thoughts, words, and actions.
17:21For instance, entrepreneurs target rising industries, Facebook invests in AI and video editing tools.
17:29I think daily about mobile internet trends, using traditional internet for reference,
17:36then comparing to current trends to decide sustainable ventures.
17:41I see more people will seek answers online, where once we flipped through books, now we search text on the web.
17:49Mobile internet means more will use video to find answers.
17:53Boosting personal media, gradually, people will live and exist more in the internet environment.
18:03Just look around, do you spend over half your day on your phone or computer?
18:09Could you go without the internet for a day?
18:12Observe.
18:14Traditional businesses are fading.
18:16Meanwhile, internet start-ups are a powerful, accessible wind, gold rush for first movers.
18:26A few years ago e-commerce, live streaming, and personal media creators boomed.
18:33So marketing online, what to focus on, what the market needs, which sectors yield super profits,
18:40these are our constant research areas.
18:43Also, learn to satisfy market needs better.
18:49Some needs repeat cyclically, predictable trends.
18:54E.g., summer brings high demand for short sleeves, spring boosts dried nuts.
19:01For such foreseeable trends, we can refine solutions, fresher approaches, lower costs, or higher value.
19:08That's another effective money-making method.
19:13How did Lee Cushing start?
19:16Hong Kong was a British colony and English gentleman famously gifted flowers to women,
19:22a custom adopted there.
19:25Lee saw fresh flowers are beautiful but perish quickly.
19:30He found a technology for plastic flowers, lifelike and long-lasting,
19:34and introduced them to Hong Kong, where none existed.
19:39They were an instant hit, earning his first fortune.
19:44Then, as I've mentioned, he invested his capital in major assets, notably real estate.
19:50My friend I mentioned earlier saw malls decked out in Christmas trees and lead lights.
19:55He started selling upgraded lead flame lights with eye-catching effects at similar prices,
20:03and they sold out immediately.
20:06These cases are business secrets, yet I've openly shared my thought process on capturing trends.
20:12I hope you truly grasp what I'm teaching.
20:16In such cases, market demand didn't change, but by satisfying it better, we earned profit.
20:22Many such opportunities exist.
20:27For instance, Valentine's Day, gift demand soars.
20:33Traditional gifts are roses, jewelry, phones, bags.
20:39Why not think of something more meaningful?
20:42Creative and weighty to express affection?
20:46If you devise such an idea, money will flow into your pocket.
20:50If you have a girlfriend, use her as a test subject.
20:55Give gifts and see which delights her most.
20:59Use theoretical resources efficiently.
21:02The woman beside you is a resource.
21:04Observe the changes around you.
21:06If you don't have a girlfriend, look further ahead.
21:10Mid-Autumn Festival
21:11Many people buy mooncakes as gifts, a time-specific demand.
21:16But gifting mooncakes has issues.
21:20Recipients often get too many boxes, wasteful and unhealthy.
21:26Someone invented a new model, gift mooncake vouchers instead.
21:31Recipients redeem vouchers at partner stores for fresh mooncakes.
21:36You still gift mooncakes but via vouchers, here's the key,
21:41If a box costs $20, the voucher costs the same.
21:46The voucher seller then buys back unused vouchers at 60% of face value.
21:53Many recipients get too many vouchers, they redeem one and discard the rest.
21:59Selling back at 60% seems like a loss, but at least they get cash.
22:04The bulk buyer resells vouchers at 80% of face value, $16 each.
22:13Gift buyers see they save 20% and buy vouchers in large quantities,
22:18thus the voucher model outperforms physical mooncake sales.
22:23In other words, voucher sales exceed actual mooncake demand.
22:28This financial thinking, turning mooncakes into a familiar financial tool,
22:36is what I share.
22:38Some apply this once a year and quietly earn tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars
22:43because they've found a better way to meet demand.
22:47Many projects like this await your observation, and you can do them yourself.
22:52Don't say there are no projects left, next is the traditional buy low, sell high method.
23:01If you spot trends that will raise prices of certain goods, buy low and sell high.
23:07If you know a city's plans for metro lines, malls, schools, hospitals,
23:13you can buy real estate nearby before construction.
23:16When infrastructure completes, home prices rise and you sell for profit.
23:23This is another trend-based money method, buy low, sell high.
23:28I encourage you, once you've made some money from my channel, apply this.
23:35Actually, by tracking government websites or official news,
23:39once the state funds or approves a project, you can buy early.
23:43Although prices may have risen somewhat, you still gain substantial profits because most
23:50people buy only after infrastructure finishes, and prices are then very high.
23:56But remember to follow real estate investment principles, for buy low, sell high in stocks,
24:03there are two main schools, value investing and technical analysis.
24:07Value investors dig into financials and fundamentals, if a company's performance is strong.
24:16They predict future price gains, buy, then wait to sell.
24:21I don't do that, if I spot potential but big investors don't follow, I won't profit.
24:27So I speculate based on trends, using candlestick charts, price, volume and moving averages,
24:36but as I've said, stock markets are complex and highly random.
24:41If you haven't studied, don't dive in.
24:45I believe in future, buy low, sell high will be confined to investing.
24:50With the internet, much information is transparent, where you source products and prices are clear.
24:59Thus, I still advise entering personal media to reduce risk and ride future trends.
25:05Time is limited, so I'll end the video here.
25:09I share free knowledge on becoming wealthy, entrepreneurial,
25:15investing and achieving financial freedom.
25:18If you don't want to miss out, subscribe, ring the bell and share this video freely.
25:26I sincerely wish everyone who likes this video soon attains financial freedom.
25:32If you find even one or two useful insights today, I will truly feel happy.
25:39Goodbye and see you next time.
