Recently, Duan Yongping suddenly appeared frequently, which is quite intriguing.

This big shot who has always been low-key to the point of “disappearance,” rarely giving interviews for over twenty years, has now been pushed to the forefront through various videos, clips, and old interviews.

Look at the recent environment:
Investors are confused, the market is volatile, and everyone is anxious.
