Chapter 213: This Speed Would Make Even the God of Stocks Fall Silent

Chapter 213: Chapter 213: This Speed Would Make Even the God of Stocks Fall Silent

The next evening arrived.

Yang Qiniang came to Lin Feng’s office.

This time, he was accompanied by two familiar tagalongs.

It was none other than Jiang Chao and Cao Ming.

They had only ever heard Yang Qiniang’s heart-pounding descriptions of Lin Feng’s investing.

And they were very interested.

But they had never experienced it for themselves.

So when they heard Lin Feng was entering the stock market again,

the two of them came over, eager to broaden their horizons and see for themselves what this thrilling process was all about.

Even though it was past nine at night,

the four dorm mates had all gathered in the office.

They were all waiting for the United States stock market to open.

At this point, the time difference and things like that no longer mattered.

"Consider today a day off for you guys. Let’s just sit back and watch Brother Feng work his magic."

"This will be a real eye-opener for you two!"

Yang Qiniang said to Jiang Chao and Cao Ming with the profound air of someone who had been through it all before.

Jiang Chao and Cao Ming had even brought a huge pile of late-night snacks.

On the way over, Yang Qiniang had told them mysteriously, "You definitely won’t be able to eat any of this food you bought before the United States market closes."

Cao Ming, the foodie, couldn’t agree. "Don’t worry, no matter how much there is, I can eat it all!"

No matter how many pairs of eyes were staring at him, Lin Feng acted as if no one else was there.

He calmly and unhurriedly entered the market according to the plan he had devised yesterday.

The stock was so deep in the red it was unsettling.

Among so many stocks, this was one the other three would have never chosen.

Yang Qiniang was already used to Lin Feng’s methods.

But as for Jiang Chao and Cao Ming, when they saw Lin Feng directly invest all 700 million into this single stock,

they both gasped.

They looked at each other in disbelief.

’This is way too reckless of Lin Feng!’ they both thought.

’That’s 700 million in funds!’

’And he bought a stock that’s been in the red for half a month!’

No wonder Yang Qiniang had said watching Lin Feng invest always made his heart race.

Just looking at that long string of zeros was enough to feel the intense pressure.

Jiang Chao and Cao Ming stared at the stock without even blinking,

terrified it was going to crash.

However, not long after Lin Feng bought in, the stock began to soar.

It shot straight into the green.

Jiang Chao and Cao Ming jumped up from the side,

even more excited than Lin Feng himself.

Yang Qiniang suppressed his own emotions, maintaining a calm facade.

But Lin Feng didn’t stay on this stock for long.

He pulled out quickly when the return rate hit two percent,

immediately withdrawing the funds, which were now over 700 million.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he invested it all into another stock.

By the time Jiang Chao and Cao Ming realized what was happening,

the trade was already complete.

The two of them subconsciously glanced back at the previous stock.

Not long after Lin Feng sold, the stock turned red again.

It returned to its previous lifeless state.

It was as if the two percent surge had happened to a completely different stock.

"Now I know what you meant when you said it was like he had divine help!"

Cao Ming leaned over to Yang Qiniang and whispered.

In a single morning, United States time,

Lin Feng had bought and sold six different stocks.

He bought into each stock at its morning low

and sold at its peak.

Without a single exception!

By the time trading paused,

Cao Ming and Jiang Chao wiped their foreheads, which were covered in sweat.

Then they glanced at the fragrant late-night snacks they’d brought.

As expected, not a single bite had been taken.

In such a thrilling and tense atmosphere, who had the mind to eat?

They hadn’t even had a chance to drink any water.

"Brother Feng, how much did you make this morning?"

Jiang Chao had long ago, amidst Lin Feng’s repeated buying and selling,

gotten completely turned around.

All he knew was that none of the stocks Lin Feng bought had ended up in the red.

As for exactly how much he had earned,

Jiang Chao really couldn’t remember.

Lin Feng did a quick mental calculation.

He had jumped between a total of six stocks.

The average return on each stock was about three percent.

By that calculation, he had only made a little over 20 million that morning.

So, Lin Feng said with a nonchalant expression, "Not much, only about twenty million."

Jiang Chao and Cao Ming gasped. The skewer in Cao Ming’s hand fell to the floor. "Only? Twenty million?"

"Bro, is your perception of money a little skewed?"

Hearing Cao Ming’s wail,

Yang Qiniang, the seasoned observer, leaned in and said, "Remember when I told you our Brother Feng made a 700 percent return, and you didn’t believe me?"

"Compared to a 700 percent return, twenty million really isn’t much."

"This morning’s return rate isn’t even twenty percent!"

Jiang Chao and Cao Ming looked at each other and gulped.

They didn’t understand the world of capital.

But that didn’t stop them from knowing Lin Feng was a total badass!

...

Since he was investing in the United States stock market this time,

everyone had to endure the twelve-hour time difference.

It was currently midnight in the Celestial Dynasty.

Yang Qiniang went ahead and heated up the food Jiang Chao and Cao Ming had brought,

turning it into a proper late-night meal.

While they ate, Jiang Chao and Cao Ming’s eyes never left Lin Feng’s face.

Lin Feng was starting to get creeped out by their staring.

He had no choice but to put down his food, look at the two of them with a smile, and say:

"If you’re going to eat a late-night snack, just focus on that. Why are you staring at me so intently?"

Jiang Chao looked at Lin Feng with a worshipful expression and said, "I’ve just realized, Brother Feng, you are just too incredible."

Cao Ming, beside him, nodded eagerly.

He couldn’t agree more.

"This is nothing yet,"

Lin Feng said with a smile.

When one in the morning arrived,

the United States market reopened.

With almost no hesitation, Lin Feng dumped all his funds into a stock he had never bought before.

It was another one of his familiar, seemingly all-or-nothing moves.

Yet Cao Ming and Jiang Chao still couldn’t bring themselves to watch calmly.

Even Yang Qiniang couldn’t.

Although Yang Qiniang had followed Lin Feng and witnessed so many of his investments,

in reality, every time he saw Lin Feng abruptly buy into a stock with such a massive amount of capital,

he still felt incredibly nervous.

Compared to the others’ nervousness, Lin Feng was much more relaxed.

After throwing the money into this stock, Lin Feng turned his head and went back to eating his late-night snack.

At times, he didn’t even glance at the stock’s performance.

The other three were far more invested in it than Lin Feng was. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

The slightest fluctuation in the stock’s chart made the three of them unbearably tense.

Cao Ming, in particular, would immediately slap Lin Feng’s thigh whenever he saw the line move.

"Bro, it’s up again! Aren’t you selling yet?"

"Isn’t this a bit risky?"

"It’s already up four percent! Oh my god, that’s a huge jump!"

Lin Feng had been trying to enjoy his late-night snack in peace,

but the atmosphere was completely ruined by these three.

He glanced at his watch.

’It should be about time,’ he estimated.

Lin Feng immediately sold off the entire stock.

And in the next moment, put the money into another one.

The three of them habitually glanced back at the stock that had just been sold.

Just as they expected...

It happened again!

After Lin Feng sold off that stock,

it plummeted.

That red line was truly unsettling to look at.

"Brother Feng, before tonight, I never believed in ghosts or gods!"

"But after tonight, I think some people really must have divine help!"

Jiang Chao said, pursing his lips.

No matter what moves Lin Feng made, the amount of money in his hands never decreased.

Instead, it just kept growing like a rolling snowball.

A small profit here, a small profit there.

It all added up to a gain of more than ten percent.

And this was just the beginning.

Lin Feng helplessly tapped Jiang Chao on the head. "Stop worrying about whether it’s divine or not!"

"Just watch carefully!"

In the time that followed, Lin Feng wasn’t as carefree as he had been before.

A while ago, Yang Qiniang had wanted to remind Lin Feng that the situation in the United States market wasn’t as good as it used to be.

And now, that was indeed the case.

Most stocks were in a state of constant fluctuation.

Fortunately, Lin Feng had the Stock Market Trend Prediction Card.

So he was able to know the trends of these stocks perfectly.

He used the dips and peaks to buy and sell between various stocks,

executing trades rapidly.

It was like finding a small path through stormy waves and fierce winds.

He was brute-forcing his way through the market!

By three or four in the morning,

the United States market finally closed.

And at closing, the money in Lin Feng’s hands had already grown substantially.

These few hours of extreme maneuvering had kept the others in the office glued to the screen.

At the beginning, Jiang Chao had even tried to track the profits with a calculator.

But later on, as Lin Feng’s trades became more and more frequent,

Jiang Chao had long since lost track of how much profit Lin Feng had made.

He only knew that each stock rose by four or five percent.

And Lin Feng had bought quite a few, one after another.

"Brother Feng, the market’s closed now. What’s your return?"

Yang Qiniang asked Lin Feng directly.

Lin Feng had already transferred all the money into his account.

He glanced at it briefly and said, "On a principal of 700 million, I only made about 100 million today."

When Jiang Chao and Cao Ming heard Lin Feng’s words, they stared at each other, speechless.

What do you mean, *only* 100 million?

He made 100 million back on the very first day with a principal of 700 million?

At this rate, even the world’s greatest stock market gurus would be left in stunned silence.

And this was during a period of volatility in the United States market.

To be able to navigate that turbulence and still earn 100 million...

Cao Ming silently did the math in his head.

’He made 100 million in one go...’

This meant that Lin Feng’s return on investment for the day was around fifteen percent.

What a terrifying rate of return!

However, Yang Qiniang had seen Lin Feng’s investments when he’d gotten lucky with a monster stock before.

So, he wasn’t as impressed by the roughly fifteen percent return as Jiang Chao and Cao Ming were.

"I also think this return is a bit low..."

Yang Qiniang chimed in from the side.

Jiang Chao and Cao Ming shouted in unison, "Low?"

Yang Qiniang nodded. "Back when Brother Feng was at his best, he could get a return of forty to fifty percent in a single day."

"But lately, the overall state of the United States stock market has been pretty sluggish."

"Getting this kind of return is already very good."

Hearing Yang Qiniang’s words, Jiang Chao and Cao Ming sucked in a sharp breath.

They had spent the entire night by Lin Feng’s side, watching him operate in the stock market.

Even though Jiang Chao and Cao Ming had no money on the line and weren’t the ones responsible for the investments,

their emotions had been on a rollercoaster all night.

They understood very well the pressure that came with investing such a huge sum of money.

And after the money started to rise, that tangled feeling of wanting to play it safe versus taking a risk.

This was just a fifteen percent gain.

It was hard to imagine how composed he must have been to achieve a fifty percent return back then.

Cao Ming silently gave Lin Feng a thumbs-up and said, "Brother Feng, I think you’re a real man!"

"A total badass!"

Lin Feng stepped forward and clapped Cao Ming on the shoulder. "I accept the compliment. Just remember to work hard today!"

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, the three people in the office instantly turned to stone.

You mean...

This wasn’t a day off?
