Wang JiaX sat in an air-conditioned room, drinking a free bubble tea.
The drink was something a colleague brought for everyone after getting their “leave request” approved.
But in Wang JiaX’s story, this large bubble tea became “a token of gratitude from a student after earning a small amount of money.”
He took a sip of the tapioca pearls and revealed the wise smile of an investment mentor. To Wang JiaX, everything can be transformed into nourishment for his business.
What he is best at is “switching concepts” and “profiting from respected mentors.” As it happens, this week marks the first anniversary of Teacher Sol’s death.
Wang JiaX keenly sensed a business opportunity and posted in the fan group:
“Dearly beloved Teacher Sol, it has already been a year since you left us. During this time,
I still often think of Teacher Sol’s presence and the things he said. For many newcomers to Taiwan’s Salsa scene,
they may never have met Teacher Sol and have only heard that he was the teacher of teachers, or a dancer of grandmaster level, so they know very little about him.
This Friday, everyone is welcome to join Teacher Sol’s online memorial! We have invited Teacher Vera from Dancer Island
to introduce Teacher Sol’s pioneering journey in Taiwan, which is essentially an important part of the development of Taiwan’s Salsa scene.
You will become more integrated into the big family of Taiwan’s Salsa scene! In addition, we will invite senior members of the scene
to share amusing stories about Teacher Sol, the inspiration he once gave them, and the care he showed them.” After posting,
he immediately attached a link to his stock-investing course below: “After hearing the inspiration from these seniors,
you’ll understand why you need financial freedom! Turning other people’s praise and remembrance of a respected mentor into a perfect part of my business.”
Wang JiaX not only exploits the deceased; he is also skilled at cultivating an approachable public image. Some time ago, he went for an eye exam
and immediately posted a philosophical piece of drivel: “I felt that my eyesight was strange before, so I went to get it checked. Optometrist: Sir,
do you normally use glasses? Me: I’ve never been nearsighted since I was little,
so I’ve never worn them. Optometrist: Then you probably haven’t seen the world clearly for a long time. I laughed and said:
I guess so. Inner monologue: Are you an optometrist or a fortune-teller?” To prove that he is busy every day,
he always takes Uber when he goes out. But his recent medical checkup results were over the limit, so he was forced to begin “weight loss and strength training.”
His “walking exercise” is very different: he takes Uber to the gym entrance, gets out, walks the final fifty meters,
and presses start on his watch. He goes into the strength-training area, takes a photo with two-kilogram dumbbells, and then walks for five minutes.
He posts, claiming: “Discipline means walking and strength training every day to lose weight!” One day, a recently discharged “soldier” came to him because of his reputation.
The soldier took out the “small amount of money” he had painstakingly saved and sincerely asked for advice. As it happened, vegetable prices had skyrocketed in those days,
and Wang JiaX was furiously ranting about it: “What the heck! It was NT$24 a pack last year, and 3.3 times that this year. Why buy stocks?
You might as well buy chrysanthemum greens options.” So he used a master-level conceptual switch on the soldier: “Kid,
investing is about looking at trends, just like this: 【Kenta Kobashi Taiwan Fan Meeting and Seminar】
The legendary match-maker who topped the Japan Pro Wrestling Awards’ Best Match of the Year rankings for many years during his active career;
the undisputed king who returned to the ring after battling cancer and undergoing countless surgeries for injuries;
the man who continues to bring us endless hope, passion, and inspiration: ‘The Iron Man’ Kenta Kobashi.
The Taiwan fan meeting and seminar will take place on August 29. The event will include an autograph session,
a photo session, and a seminar (topic to be decided). Details will be announced soon. To ensure the quality of the event,
the seminar will be limited in attendance, and there will be no group photos, individual photos, or autographs after the seminar.”
The soldier froze and asked, “Teacher, what does this have to do with my small amount of money?” Wang JiaX patted him: “That’s called scarcity!
Just like my stock-investing course, which also has limited enrollment! Sign up now and I’ll give you the bubble tea you just had!”
The soldier was fooled into handing over the money on the spot, treating the bubble tea as the master’s endorsement. That night, Wang JiaX went abroad on vacation
and video-called his son: “Angelo: Dad, where are you? Me: I’m here,
it’s really boring here, there’s nothing fun at all. Angelo:
Did you have ice cream? Me: No,
there’s no one selling ice cream here. Afraid that he would cry if he missed out,
I had no choice but to say that 🤣” After hanging up, Wang JiaX ate ice cream,
and his change of mindset was an immense success. Switching concepts, profiting from respected mentors,
and packaging bubble tea as a business—this is the secret to his success as a top stock-investing mentor.
