Recently， the “Phoenix Bay Area Finance Forum 2025” was held in Guangzhou.
Lin Yuan， Chairman of Lin Yuan Investment in Shenzhen， was invited to attend the forum and delivered a keynote speech via video link during the “Doubling Down on China: A Decade-Long Bull Market?” session.
Lin Yuan pointed out that against the backdrop of accelerated development of new quality productive forces and technology-driven industrial transformation， the output efficiency across various industries has seen significant growth.
He observed， “Factories no longer need lights for production. Modern factories operate in ‘darkness.’ Some industries have seen their production capacity increase by at least five to six times.”
Looking ahead， Lin Yuan made a bold prediction: if productivity and efficiency in the future society are amplified by another 100 times， driven by technologies like artificial intelligence， then money will become meaningless.
In Lin Yuan’s view， “the future person will be useless; people will be focused on enjoyment.” He believes that “investment” in the traditional sense is losing its significance.
He posited that in the development of human society， spiritual values far outweigh material assets.
Things that bring happiness， provide enjoyment， and can extend or delay life will become scarce resources.
Lin Yuan emphasized， “Grand architectural marvels rarely endure and hold little practical value， but the ‘wisdom of what is delicious’ and philosophical ideas passed down by our ancestors can last for generations.”
Public information shows that Lin Yuan is the legal representative and chairman of Shenzhen Lin Yuan Investment Management Co.， Ltd.， widely regarded as a “legendary figure in China’s private equity sector” and a “Buffett-like” mythical figure in the Chinese stock market.
