Becoming a Billionaire From Awakening a System

8:00 PM.

Yang Qingqing suddenly noticed something.

After her brother got home, he was completely listless again.

He even shut himself in the study and started poring over books on stock market analysis.

Yang Qingqing wasn’t a fool.

She immediately figured that his investments probably hadn’t gone well today either.

This made Yang Qingqing take the situation seriously.

After all, this was her brother’s first time investing and starting a business.

While it was true that the first step is always the hardest...

...the beginning had been hard for many days now.

’Could it be that the investments still haven’t shown any signs of improvement?’

Yang Qingqing started to feel anxious.

When Yang Qiniang came out yawning,

he saw his little sister, who had obediently prepared a late-night snack for him.

She had also gathered some related books and was studying them on the side.

"What’s the use of you reading these finance and investment books?"

Yang Qiniang asked, a little curious.

Yang Qingqing closed the book in her hands and looked at her brother. "Bro, are your investments not picking up?"

She didn’t even ask if he had lost money.

She just phrased her question delicately.

Yang Qiniang shook his head, then nodded.

"It’s hard to explain to a little girl like you. Anyway, it’s not that we’re losing money, it’s just that the gains are too small!"

"This is between me and your Brother Feng. You don’t need to get involved. Just get some rest!"

With that, Yang Qiniang turned and left.

But Yang Qingqing wasn’t entirely convinced. After all, her brother had been in low spirits yesterday and today.

’Oh well, I’ve saved up quite a bit of gift money over the years anyway...’

’If you really lose money, Bro, your lively, adorable, and incredibly kind sister can sponsor you a bit!’

That evening, Yang Qiniang saw the WeChat message his sister had sent him.

Those two short sentences soothed the worry and impatience in Yang Qiniang’s heart.

"This... sister of mine..."

Yang Qiniang smiled, his heart filled with warmth.

Although siblings inevitably have all sorts of friction and even fights growing up,

the bond of kinship between them was just like that.

Blood would always be thicker than water.

"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t use your money. I’ll give you the lowdown!"

"We’ve only made money so far, we can’t lose!"

Looking at the WeChat message from Yang Qiniang,

Yang Qingqing didn’t believe it,

but she didn’t say anything more.

In any case, Yang Qingqing had already made up her mind. If her brother’s company ran into any trouble, she would definitely support him!

...

「The next day.」

When Yang Qiniang arrived at the office,

he found that besides himself, all the other core staff members had heavy, dark circles under their eyes.

Their condition was only slightly better than it had been the first time.

One of the company’s vice presidents, Vice President Li, looked at Yang Qiniang with a wry smile and said,

"President Lin just loves to take an unorthodox approach, and it leaves us all a bundle of nerves!"

"We can’t see through President Lin’s thoughts, nor can we guess his methods."

"So it’s inevitable that we worry about it a bit more."

"None of us have been sleeping well these past few days!"

Yang Qiniang walked up and patted Vice President Li on the shoulder. "Don’t worry, Brother Feng won’t let us down."

As soon as the stock market opened, one of the three stocks Lin Feng had invested in quickly started to climb.

Its line on the chart shot up at an astonishing speed.

"That’s rising way too fast!"

The words had barely left Yang Qiniang’s mouth when the stock hit its limit up.

The people in the room couldn’t help but turn their gazes toward Lin Feng.

But they saw Lin Feng, calm and composed, reading a newspaper.

It was as if he hadn’t seen the change in the market at all.

Vice President Li stepped forward to remind him, "Mr. Lin, that medical stock we bought is up three points!"

Only then did Lin Feng look up, glance at the screen, and nod faintly. "It’s not time yet. It still has a lot of room to grow!"

The other staff members looked at each other in confusion.

An hour later, they finally understood what Lin Feng had meant.

The stock had continued to climb nonstop!

Yang Qiniang and the others felt like they were witnessing history.

This was a terrifying dark horse.

The stock’s unusual performance had also attracted the attention of other retail investors and investment firms in the market.

At first, no one dared to buy when the stock hit its limit up.

But as it continued its mad surge, some retail investors in the market lost their minds and started getting reckless.

They were convinced this was a golden opportunity.

So they threw all their money into it without a second thought.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng had already instructed his staff to quickly sell off all their shares of the stock after it rose by eight points.

Eight point seven percent.

This stock, which had been sluggish for the better part of half a year,

had actually managed a gain of 8.7% in a single day.

That was a terrifying number.

And a mountain-like surge like this

drove a portion of the retail investors and small to medium-sized firms in the market completely insane.

When the stock first started to rise,

perhaps these retail investors and firms hadn’t paid it any mind.

But now, the stock had begun a very steep climb.

Some retail investors started to follow suit.

And some firms also began to tentatively dip their toes in.

No one knew how much they bought.

But very few of these firms and retail investors would actually make money from this stock.

The most important reason was that they didn’t know when to pull out.

When the stock had risen six or seven percent,

perhaps some retail investors and firms got scared.

So the timid ones had already started to sell their shares.

Though they were timid,

they left themselves an exit strategy.

After all, a surge like this did look frightening.

But for the other retail investors and firms,

their eyes were already gleaming.

Their eyes were filled with red, bloodshot veins.

At this point, driven by human greed,

these people were completely unwilling to let go of the stock in their hands.

These retail investors and firms kept waiting for the stock to rise even further.

When Lin Feng sold his shares,

those other retail investors and firms still hadn’t made a move.

Perhaps they were waiting for another surge.

Or perhaps they were just banking on luck.

After Lin Feng sold at the precise peak,

the stock was seen plummeting as if falling off a cliff.

By this point, it was too late to sell.

No one could have predicted the stock would fall so fast.

It had taken a nosedive in just a few short minutes.

Even though Lin Feng’s side had already sold with perfect timing,

seeing the stock’s subsequent trajectory,

the staff members in the office and Yang Qiniang let out a huge sigh of relief.

They even felt as if they had just survived a disaster.

No one had expected it.

That a stock that had surged so high at the beginning would then take such a massive plunge.

Although everyone knew it couldn’t keep rising forever, they never imagined it would nosedive so quickly.

"Lin Feng, you’re a god!"

Yang Qiniang turned to look at Lin Feng, his eyes filled with adoration.

Hearing Yang Qiniang’s words, Lin Feng just smiled faintly.

"It was all just a lucky break!"

That’s what Lin Feng said, but Yang Qiniang and the staff didn’t think so.

If it had been once or twice, they might have believed Lin Feng was just getting lucky profiting from stocks like these.

But now, after three or four consecutive days of these operations,

these people suddenly realized that Lin Feng was truly like a fish in water in the stock market.

"I think you’re the god of our Celestial Stock Market!"

Yang Qiniang silently gave him a thumbs-up.

Lin Feng had invested a total of eighty million in this stock.

Now, the stock’s gain was 8.7 percent.

In the past two days, after deducting miscellaneous fees, they had earned a total of 6.5 million.

In just two days!

To make over six million.

This speed of making money shocked Yang Qiniang once again.

Yang Qiniang truly never imagined someone could make so much money from short-term investments like this.

Now that trading on one stock was finished,

everyone naturally couldn’t help but turn their attention to the other two stocks.

Unlike the stock they had just sold,

the remaining two stocks, while having ticked up slightly,

were not fluctuating much.

One of them even dropped into the negative after half an hour.

"These two stocks aren’t doing so well..."

Yang Qiniang said, standing beside Lin Feng and looking at the two sluggish lines.

Lin Feng gave Yang Qiniang an exasperated look. "Most stocks in the market are like this..."

"We just happened to pick a few unusual ones!"

There was a profound undertone in Lin Feng’s voice as he said this.

In reality, Lin Feng had deliberately chosen these two stocks.

Because if Lin Feng made trades at such perfect moments every single time,

because his timing was too precise or his purchases too opportune,

he would easily be targeted by certain people.

After all, the stock exchange was full of hidden talents.

In fact, Lin Feng’s last few trades had been timed far too perfectly.

It would be easy for people to notice and even suspect him of insider trading.

Although Lin Feng was confident he wouldn’t be found out—after all, there was no other evidence—

Lin Feng didn’t want to invite unnecessary trouble.

That’s why he had intentionally chosen these two stocks.

These two stocks didn’t have high gains right now.

They would also be volatile over the next two days.

So, when one of the stocks ticked up slightly,

Lin Feng sold it.

He didn’t actually make much money from this stock...

he didn’t even earn a fraction of what he had from the previous stocks.

Lin Feng wasn’t counting on this stock to make a profit.

To put it bluntly, this stock was just a smokescreen.

That left only the other stock, which was currently in the negative.

It was precisely because of the poor performance of these two stocks

that many potential troubles gradually disappeared.

After all, there were always people watching the stock market.

Lin Feng was very clear about his own position.

Just make money and avoid trouble.

Right now, the less than two hundred million in capital Lin Feng held,

in the grand scheme of the entire stock market,

was just small potatoes.

Compared to capital flows of billions or tens of billions,

the movement of Lin Feng’s two hundred million hadn’t attracted too much attention.

In the stock market, the inflow and outflow of large sums of capital

can easily become a bellwether,

watched and followed by others.

You would be constantly scrutinized, your hands tied.

Lin Feng also felt that with these large funds attracting the attention of other retail investors and firms,

it made his own capital less conspicuous.

So far, Lin Feng had already made over 16.5 million from the stock market.

However, Lin Feng was still far from his goal.

This was all just a small taste.

Aside from the fifty million currently tied up in the other stock that was hovering around breakeven,

Lin Feng took the remaining one hundred and forty million he had

and invested it all in a single stock.

The moment Lin Feng completed the transaction,

everyone else in the office sucked in a sharp breath.

No one had imagined that Lin Feng would play such a huge hand now.

To throw in one hundred and forty million without even blinking...
