1. Investment Thesis — Base Case
I strongly believe we are looking at one of the most asymmetric risk/reward setups in the global software landscape. The market is subsidizing a fantasy of Chinese perpetual decline, entirely missing that Kingdee has completed the hard, capital-intensive transition to cloud architecture and is now generating compounding cash flow.
