And consumers start to shift.

So what should we do?

Absolutely.

So this year I was in uh Shenzhen a few times, right?

And uh and at a headline level people look at Shenzhen, they will say that okay, the the housing price bubble is bursting and the apartments are empty and and sort of uh it's it's doomed, right?

But

But a few times I got involved in those like uh discussions amongst entrepreneurs.

And uh sometimes you see how crazy it is?

You go and meet someone for dinner and uh and after dinner I said, Okay, that let's let's go and talk about business.

So you have a bunch of people going to a tea house, then without alcohol, without smoke, then started talking about all the business challenges and uh all the sort of uh sort of different areas of operations they try to figure out, giving each other advice and stuff.

And sometimes these discussions like last until like one or two AM.

And and and you can see that uh people spend so much time and so much effort trying to grow their business.

At least two people told me that twenty years ago when you come to Shenzhen and you have lots of dynamism and uh you can make money, you can build businesses.

Fast forward to twenty twenty five, if you want to build a business and Shenzhen is still the place to go.

It should still be there.

So y y you see that dynamism, that dream uh amongst the entrepreneurs are still there.

So obviously, I mean, the whole macro narrative, we see lots of young people getting disillusioned, lying flat or

not w not willing to sort of um go on this like uh rat race, but that's also true.

In any society, entrepreneurs is always a small percentage of the society.

So when you have that group of uh I don't know a few hundred thousand or even a few like million people still on a drive and uh and they can still mobilize, I don't know, ten times the people following them, and that's still a formidable force.
