The news that "China's Good Voice" would hold auditions nationwide on December 1st dominated the headlines of many media outlets the next day.
Of course, there was also Wang Zixuan's "silly" prediction of a three percent viewership.
Many media outlets made fierce comments, writing to attract attention.
Wang Zixuan, of course, wouldn't seek trouble by reading those reports himself; he just had someone record the media that criticized him the most.
Wang Zixuan also borrowed 100 million from Wang Zihao, transferred it to the company account, and posted it on Weibo.
"Another 100 million to the company account, don't spend it too quickly! The previous 200 million was gone before I heard a sound. @Chen Zuming."
Chen Zuming also replied on Weibo: "Boss, I just ran the errands. The 200 million was mostly spent by you."
"Can't even play happily if you don't take the blame for me?"
Wang Zixuan's playful Weibo post immediately drew a large number of comments from fans.
"Hubby is so cute."
"Hubby is so funny."
"Another popular phrase is born."
"Can't even play happily if it's not the first comment."
"Can't even play happily if there's no second comment."
...
After the launch ceremony of "China's Good Voice," Wang Zixuan returned to his reclusive life, while Chen Zuming ran around tirelessly, preparing for the auditions. Every time an audition location was confirmed, a large number of advertisements were placed in that province, promoting the time, location, and the tempting grand prize.
On November 12th, Wang Zixuan closed his previous 3,000 long positions at $1,118 per ounce, netting a profit of $9.6 million, bringing his account balance to $19.74 million.
Wang Zixuan then posted a smug screenshot on Weibo: "Earned 100 million Chinese yuan in 46 days, still not as fast as spending."
This Weibo post immediately drew many forwards and comments.
"Hubby is so awesome."
"Hubby is so amazing."
"Financial Prince."
"Seeking guidance."
"Hubby, how high do you think gold will go?"
After the first two times, most people thought this spendthrift might just be lucky. But after seeing Wang Zixuan earn 100 million, many netizens who had mocked him for being a spendthrift were no longer calm.
Wang Zixuan teased the netizens and then started trading again, opening 6,000 long positions at around $1,118 per ounce, worth over $670 million, with a leverage of 34 times.
During dinner that night, Wang Liangming suddenly asked, "Zixuan, how high do you think gold will go?"
Wang Zixuan was taken aback for a moment, knowing that Wang Liangming must have had someone follow his Weibo. He smiled and said, "There are too many factors affecting the gold price, making it hard to predict. I'm just speculating and going with the trend. It might go up a bit more in the near future."
"Right, when you can't influence the big picture, you should go with the trend."
Wang Liangming said a few words and then changed the topic.
The trend of London gold was similar to the previous life, falling slightly for a day before rising steadily.
On November 24th, Wang Zixuan closed all his positions at around $1,167 per ounce, netting a profit of $28.8 million, bringing his account balance to $48.54 million.
"58 days to earn 300 million, you need to step up @Chen Zuming."
Wang Zixuan's smug Weibo post with the screenshot immediately drew a lot of online howls.
Too violent.
Too bloody.
How can you make money like that.
"Hubby, screw me."
"Hubby, screw me."
"Hubby, screw me."
...
After one netizen's uncensored comment, it immediately drew a lot of followers.
If it weren't for the male netizens egging him on, Wang Zixuan would have been very pleased, but seeing the avatars of a few big men, he retreated, turned off Weibo, and focused on trading London gold.
As his funds increased, his impact on the market grew, but fortunately, the daily trading volume of London gold was in the trillions of dollars, so he wasn't enough to change the overall trend.
Continuously opening long positions, the decline caused by his violent liquidation was quickly recovered, and the price slowly rose.
Wang Zixuan then opened 12,000 long positions and stopped, worth over $1.4 billion, with a leverage of nearly 29 times.
This Weibo post also caught the attention of the media.
"Spendthrift turns out to be a financial genius, earning 300 million in 58 days."
While entertainment programs reported positively, some financial programs treated Wang Zixuan as a negative example.
Too high leverage, blindly going long.
Wang Zixuan's investment was just a game of fools, and he warned investors that the gold price had already doubled, and they shouldn't blindly go long.
Wang Zixuan only posted screenshots of his liquidation records and didn't reveal his subsequent operations, but from the previous screenshots, it was clear that he had been consistently going long.
Amid the external noise, the Wang family, who had been watching coldly, was no longer calm.
Earning 15 times in two months.
Forget real estate, even robbing banks wouldn't be this fast.
When Wang Zixuan earned 100 million in 46 days, the Wang family was still a bit uneasy, but now earning 15 times in 58 days made even the wealthy Wang family envious.
During dinner that day, Wang Liangming asked, "I have some money idle in the U.S., do you think there are still investment opportunities in the gold market?"
Wang Zixuan smiled and said, "Sure, London gold can be both long and short, as long as you see it right, there are always opportunities."
Wang Liangming thought for a moment and said, "Then help me invest $50 million! If we make a profit, you can freely dispose of half of it."
Wang Zixuan smiled and said, "My investment plan needs a lot of money, so I won't refuse Dad's commission. Dad's money is in the U.S., so just open another account for trading London gold."
"I've already opened it, I'll send you the account later, and you can operate it."
After learning that Wang Zixuan had earned five times in 46 days, Wang Liangming had someone analyze Wang Zixuan's operations and made some preparations.
"Okay."
Liu Lin, seeing the two agree, couldn't help but glare at Wang Zihao.
Yu Suting had given them 500 million in cash, of which 100 million was lent to Wang Zixuan, and the remaining 400 million was idle.
When Liu Lin saw Wang Zixuan earn five times, she wanted to ask him to help invest in gold.
But Wang Zihao thought it was safer to wait and see, and didn't expect Wang Zixuan to earn ten times in just over ten days.
On the other hand, Wang Zihao also wanted to act with his father, and now hearing that Wang Liangming had already opened an account, he realized the gap between him and his father.
Opening an account didn't cost much, and Wang Liangming had made preparations as soon as he had the idea, while he only acted when he made a real decision.
Wang Zihao could only say, "I also want Zixuan to invest $50 million, but the money is still in China. If it's convenient for Dad, can you lend me $50 million first?"
Wang Liangming shook his head and said, "I don't have that much cash, ask your mom."
In fact, he never intended to let Wang Zixuan invest so much money, but Wang Zixuan's earning speed clearly exceeded his expectations. Now Wang Zixuan already had nearly $50 million, and it wouldn't look good if he contributed less.
$50 million was all the cash he had in the U.S.
Wang Zihao could only look at his mother.
Yu Suting nodded and said, "Okay, you don't need to transfer it to the U.S., just give me Chinese yuan."
Wang Zihao happily said, "Thanks, Mom, I'll transfer it to you tomorrow."
Yu Suting didn't join the investment but warned, "The capital market is risky, Zixuan, don't be too aggressive."
Wang Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be more conservative."
Yu Suting had some savings in the U.S., and it was daytime in the U.S. when it was night in China, so it didn't take long for the money to be transferred to Wang Liangming's account.
After dinner, Wang Liangming also sent the account to Wang Zixuan.
Just as London gold had fallen a bit, Wang Zixuan immediately opened 30,000 long positions, worth nearly $3.5 billion, with a leverage of 35 times, at a lower price than in the morning.
Although the trading volume in the evening and night in Europe and America was large, the $3.5 billion long position still caused a slight rise in London gold.
