Duan Yongping, I am increasingly unable to understand him, You say he's a legendary figure in the investment circle, so how come he suddenly changed his usual behavior, from hiding in the shadows to appearing frequently? Think about it, what was Duan Yongping like before? He went to the US in 2001, and he was like a hermit, rarely seen and never heard. Throughout the year, you hardly saw him a few times. The only time he was particularly high-profile was in 2006, when he spent $620,000 to have a meal with Buffett—that's many years ago. Apart from such major events, he generally refused interviews and avoided the camera. But look at him this year, he's like a different person. First, in January, he visited his alma mater Zhejiang University, chatting face-to-face with students about his business principles. Then in November, he was on a website called "Xueqiu," talking with the site's owner for nearly two hours, many topics he had never discussed before. Most unexpectedly, in December, he even appeared on Wang Shi's show, and he went there wearing just a pair of baggy shorts. You say, a big shot who has been hiding for over twenty years suddenly loves to speak out this year—could there be something going on behind the scenes? $SOL
