The holdings details page popped up.

Stock code: NTES (NetEase).

Number of shares held: 17500.

Current price: $13.52.

Old Xu rubbed his eyes.

He took off his reading glasses, breathed on them, wiped them, and put them back on.

Look again.

It's still 13.52.

His not-so-bright brain started working at lightning speed.

Bought it for 0.7.

It's 13.52 now.

How many times has this increased?

Twenty times?

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands..."

Old Xu's fingers trembled as he pointed to the number in the total assets column of the account, his lips shaking as if he had late-stage Parkinson's disease.

236,600 dollars.

Based on the current exchange rate of 8.27.

That's... over 1.9 million RMB!

"Clang!"

Old Xu finally lost his grip on the enamel mug, which smashed on the ground, splashing tea everywhere.

The elderly people around were startled by the commotion and all looked over.

"Old Xu, what's wrong? Are you having a relapse?"

"Quick, quick! Pinch the philtrum!"

Old Xu acted as if he hadn't heard anything, staring intently at Yu Le's screen, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, his expression more terrified than if he had seen an alien descend upon the world.

"This...this system is broken, isn't it?"

Old Xu's voice was hoarse as he pointed at the screen, "How is this possible? A month ago it was just a few cents! How could it have become more than ten dollars!"

Yu Le calmly took out a cigarette case from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and tapped it on the table.

"Sir, this is called a bottoming out and rebound. This is called a return to value. This is called..."

He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"That's called luck."

What incredible luck!

Whose luck can increase twentyfold in a month!

This isn't stock trading, it's bank robbery!

The surrounding crowd erupted in an uproar.

Everyone surrounded Yu Le as if he were a deity, their previously mocking gazes now replaced by fervent envy and admiration.

"Holy crap! This kid's amazing!"

"One million nine hundred thousand! I've never seen so much money in my entire life!"

"Master! What should I buy with this check? Help me! I'll kowtow to you!"

Yu Le ignored the noise around her.

His fingers flew across the keyboard.

Sell.

All sold.

Market price commission.

Since we've already made the biggest profit from this wave, there's no need to be greedy for the last bit of profit.

The key is to secure your profits.

A few seconds later, the transaction was completed.

The stocks in the account were converted into real US dollar cash.

More than 1.9 million RMB.

In an era when housing prices in Beijing's Second Ring Road were only four or five thousand yuan per square meter, this was a huge sum of money.

That's enough for him to do whatever he wants in this city. Even if he lies around all day, he can still raise Liu Qianqian into a little princess who knows nothing of human suffering.

"Sold...sold?"

Looking at his empty portfolio, Lao Xu swallowed hard, feeling as if his heart was bleeding.

Even though it wasn't his money, it still pained him to see it.

"Such a good stock, it's still going up, why did you sell it?"

Yu Le ignored him.

His fingers started moving again.

Enter code: AAPL.

Apple Inc.

In 2002, Apple didn't have the iPhone or the iPad; it only had the newly launched iPod, which was still struggling in a niche market.

The stock price is $14.25 (adjusted for stock splits and dividends).

In most people's eyes, this is a niche company that makes beautiful computers and could be squeezed out of business by Microsoft at any time.

But in Yu Le's eyes...

This is the future trillion-dollar empire.

This is a direct route to the throne of the richest person.

"All in."

Yu Le pressed that heart-pounding button again.

All funds will be used to buy Apple products.

Old Xu stared blankly at the unfamiliar code.

"What's this? A fruit vendor?"

"More or less."

Yu Le stood up and pulled out the magnetic card.

"A very promising fruit shop."

Now, I can finally relax completely.

All he has to do is wait for Steve Jobs to stand on the stage at the iPhone launch event and say "One more thing," and he can count money until his hands cramp.

"I'm gone."

Yu Le patted Lao Xu on the shoulder, who was still in a daze.

"Sir, please listen to my advice."

Old Xu suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

"What do you say, expert? I'll write it all down in my notebook!"

"Let's replace that tea mug with a stainless steel one. Enameled ones chip and peel off easily, and it's bad for your health if you drink from them."

After saying that, Yu Le put his hands in his pockets, put on his two-yuan flip-flops, and swaggered out of the business department amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd.

He left behind a group of people, who were deep in thought as they stared at the AAPL code.

"This fruit shop...can it really make you rich?"

"How could that be? Even if fruit shops raise prices, they can't raise them by much!"

"I think you should buy NetEase shares; I feel like they're just lucky!"

"I'll buy it too! He even sold a stock that went up tenfold in a month!"

……

Stepping out of Galaxy Securities' gates, the midday sun was a bit too bright.

Yu Le squinted, feeling as if the air had become sweeter.

With nearly two million in his pocket, even though he hasn't cashed it out yet, the confidence he has is different.

In the past, people lay down to survive.

Now we're just lying down to make a living.

The essential difference lies in whether or not one can afford a bowl of beef noodles with two eggs anytime, anywhere.

Thinking that he still had some money left, Yu Le decided to be generous.

"Go on a spending spree."

Yu Le hailed a taxi.

"Driver, to Zhongguancun."

That old, broken TV at home needs to be replaced.

Liu Qianqian had been talking about buying the DVDs all the way here, and it was time to do so.

And Liu Xiaoli's dance shoes, which are a bit worn out from dancing, should also be replaced with a better pair.

Since I've become the pillar of this family (even if it's just in name), I have to act like one.

Even if you're living off a woman, you still have to make sure your rice bowl is gilded, right?

The taxis merged into the heavy traffic.

Yu Le leaned back in his chair, watching the city of Beijing rushing past outside the window.

This golden age has only just begun.

Next.

I just watched the show.

Look at that little girl, how she gradually transformed into a stunning swan that amazed the world.

of course.

We also have to watch out for those blind fools who might try to root up our own beautiful, plump cabbage.

"Achoo!"

Liu Qianqian, who was catching up on sleep at home, suddenly sneezed loudly.

She rubbed her nose, turned over, and muttered something.

"It must be that scoundrel Yu Le talking badly about me..."

Then, clutching the blanket, she continued to dream of eating braised pork.

In my dream.

The braised pork was piled up like a mountain.

Yu Le, wearing an apron, stood on the mountaintop, waving a spatula in her hand, like a...

Like an idiot.

Liu Qianqian laughed like a pig in her dream.
