Wealth in life depends on Kangbo: The Wealth Prophecy of the 'Cycle King'! Brothers, seize the trend and don't rush to make money. Three years is enough to make a fortune in life. If it's too early, you can't hold on, and if it's too late, you won't have a chance to use it. What is the 'Kangbo cycle'? This long cycle is divided into four stages: rebound, prosperity, recession, and depression. Since the Industrial Revolution, the world economy has gone through five cycles of fluctuations: The first wave (1782-1845): Textile industry and steam engine technology The Second Wave (1845-1892): Steel and Railway Revolution The Third Wave (1892-1948): Electrical and Heavy Chemical Industry The Fourth Wave (1948-1991): The Automotive and Computer Revolution The Fifth Wave (1991 present): Information Technology Revolution Former Chief Economist of CITIC Securities, Zhou Jintao, has a classic theory that "wealth in life depends on health waves": the accumulation of wealth for each of us should not be thought to be due to our abilities, as wealth accumulation comes entirely from the opportunities given to us by the time of economic cycles. Divine prediction: From subprime crisis to commodity rebound. The reason why Zhou Jintao's theory is highly praised is due to his series of astonishing and accurate predictions: 2007: Successfully predicted the subprime mortgage crisis, warning of a shock from the Kangbo recession. 2015: Warning of a second wave of Kangbo recession, followed by a global stock market crash. In 2016, it was predicted that the Chinese economy would approach the bottom and commodities would experience an annual level rebound. In 2019, the predicted low point of asset prices arrived as scheduled. Of particular note is his assessment of the real estate cycle. Zhou Jintao believes that the real estate cycle cycles around once every 20 years (the term of a mortgage seems to be around 20 years), and a person can only encounter up to two opportunities in their lifetime. He clearly pointed out that 2014 was the peak of China's real estate cycle, and the surge in first tier cities in 2016 was just a rebound in a bear market. He suggested that investors consider selling non self occupied properties in the first half of 2017. Three opportunities for wealth in life The most thought-provoking part of Zhou Jintao's theory is his discourse on opportunities for wealth in life: In the main stages of a person's 60 year life, of which 30 years are spent in economic life, Kangbo only gives you three opportunities for wealth in 30 years, which is not subject to your subjective will According to his analysis: 2008: First opportunity (passed) 2019: Second chance (already passed) 2030: The Third Chance (Approaching) For people of different age groups, Zhou Jintao once gave straightforward advice: "People born after 1985, and those under 30 now, are destined to have their first opportunity in life only in 2019. Therefore, for those aged 25 to 30 now, in the next 5 years, they can only rely on working hard. Because buying a house is nothing, it is determined by the fate of your life's wealth Zhou Jintao's cycle framework: nested three cycles In "The Theory of Oscillation Cycles", Zhou Jintao developed a complete cycle analysis framework - the nested theory of three cycles: 1. Kangbo cycle (50-60 years): a long cycle triggered by technological revolution 2. Real estate cycle (20-25 years): Kuznets cycle 3. Capital expenditure cycle (9-11 years): Juglar cycle 4. Inventory cycle (3-4 years): Kitchin cycle A complete Kangbo cycle includes 3 real estate cycles, 6 capital expenditure cycles, and 18 inventory cycles. Zhou Jintao said, "So your life is one Kangbo, three real estate cycles, nine fixed assets investment cycles and eighteen inventory cycles. This is roughly the process of your life." Current location and future prospects According to Zhou Jintao's theoretical framework, we are currently in the fifth wave of Kangbo's depression period: Prosperity period: 1991-2004 (information technology boom) Decline period: 2004-2015 Depression period: 2015-2025 Zhou Jintao once predicted, "Everyone present here is destined to spend the next ten years in a depression, which is an unchangeable law of Kondratiev." He particularly emphasized that 2018-2019 is the "year of endless calamity in the Kondratiev cycle," and asset prices will reach their final low point. In the face of a recession, Zhou Jintao's investment advice is very clear: 1. Maintain liquidity: Hold cash or gold 2. Avoid long-term investments, especially assets with poor liquidity 3. Waiting for the next Kangbo rebound: expected around 2030 He emphasized, "Making money in the future is not important. The first goal is to preserve value, and the second is liquidity. These two goals are the core issues that everyone must pay close attention to when investing in the next five years The wisdom of crossing cycles The reason why Zhou Jintao's theory still has important value today is not only because of its accuracy in prediction, but also because it provides a grand perspective for understanding the relationship between economy and life. In "The Theory of Oscillation Cycles," he wrote: "Recognize that everything has its own laws, and on a sufficiently long scale, rocks have their own lifespan from birth to becoming dust particles. Therefore, recognize that cycles are determined by their own operating laws, and do not attempt to surpass them On this day in 2025, as we stand at the end of the Kangbo Depression, revisiting Zhou Jintao's cycle theory may provide important guidance for us to seize the third wealth opportunity around 2030. After all, understanding the cycle is the key to grasping fate; Only by understanding the laws can one ride the waves and overcome them. As Zhou Jintao said: What is the meaning of life and research? We have come, loved, and then passed away like the wind. We have never been, nor have we gone. Let go of all attachments, and our hearts have nowhere to stay. "In this irresistible economic cycle, maintaining a clear and calm mind may be the greatest wisdom.
