Chapter 22

The news that Wang Zixuan had quadrupled his investment in London Gold overnight, netting a profit of 250 million USD, not only shocked millions of people in the country but also spread abroad, even reaching American media faster than domestic outlets.

Because it was 4 AM in China, it was still daytime in the United States.

A netizen who was browsing the internet late at night and was stunned by Wang Zixuan's achievement collected all the screenshots of his London Gold trading and posted them on Twitter.

To attract the attention of Americans, he even issued a challenge.

"A gold king has emerged in China, making 110 times his initial investment in 60 days. Is there anyone on Wall Street who dares to take on the challenge?"

Soon, this message began to spread on Twitter.

Making 110 times in 60 days.

Even Americans, who are accustomed to Wall Street legends, found it hard to believe.

Some journalists also went to Wall Street to interview industry insiders.

"A crazy financial genius, his heart must be particularly strong."

"God is too kind to him. No one can replicate this story, not even he himself."

If the first two Wall Street fund managers' words still carried a hint of jealousy, then the legendary George Soros of Wall Street was all praise: "He is a genius, no doubt. Wang has a keen sense of the market and a strong heart. Believe me, he will become a top predator in the capital market. And his trading style is even more aggressive than mine. The whole world should be cautious."

A journalist found out that Wang Zixuan was studying in the United States and interviewed his university professor and classmates.

"Wang is a smart person, getting A's in every subject, but he is not as diligent as other Chinese students."

This was what the professor said.

"Wang is handsome and rich, he is like a nobleman, very particular about food, drink, and entertainment. But he is not a playboy. During his university years, he didn't even have a girlfriend. Boyfriend? No, he didn't have one either. He is very manly, and his orientation is normal. I noticed that his gaze would occasionally linger on some sexy women. Oh, what did I say. Dear Wang, I'm just clarifying for you, you won't mind, right?"

This was what a classmate said.

The American reports were relayed back to China, further boosting the spirits of the Chinese people, who had been eagerly awaiting international recognition. China finally had a financial genius.

Online media reacted the fastest, followed by television and print media, all reporting on the legend Wang Zixuan had created and some details about him, as well as the ongoing news of "The Voice of China."

Financial genius, top predator.

Soros' words were like golden rules, quoted by many media outlets.

Many casual observers or critics turned into fans, and Sina Weibo saw another explosive growth in users.

The number of followers on Wang Zixuan's Weibo also surged.

That day, many people called Wang Zixuan, but fortunately, he turned off his phone every night and hadn't turned it on yet, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sleep peacefully.

He slept until around 11 AM, then got up, washed up, changed clothes, and went downstairs.

"Second Young Master."

As he passed a maid, Wang Zixuan noticed that her eyes seemed a bit off.

He checked his clothes, but found nothing wrong. However, he didn't ask further and walked to the living room with a hint of confusion.

"The Wall Street tycoon who caused the Asian financial crisis, George Soros, said he is a genius with a keen sense of the market and a strong heart."

In the living room, he found a decent-looking host introducing someone who sounded very impressive, and the whole family was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"He predicted that Wang Zixuan will become a top predator in the capital market."

So they were talking about him!

Soros has good eyesight!

The term "top predator" is also nice, I like it.

"Uncle."

Wang Ke, who was playing on the floor, immediately ran over and shouted when he saw Wang Zixuan come down.

Wang Liangming and others also turned their heads.

It was Saturday, so Wang Liangming and Wang Zihao didn't need to go to the company.

Wang Zixuan picked up Wang Ke and started calling out to everyone: "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law."

Wang Liangming smiled and said, "You posted on Weibo and went to sleep, but we've been busy answering calls all morning."

It sounded like a complaint, but the four of them didn't look unhappy.

Having a genius in the family brought them glory, and the calls were from people who needed their help.

From Soros' praise, Wang Zixuan knew he had caused quite a stir, and he said a bit awkwardly, "Sorry, I was a bit too reckless."

Wang Liangming smiled and said, "It's fine for young people to be a bit showy. But now many people want you to invest, and some of them I can't refuse. You'll have to deal with this problem."

Wang Zixuan felt a bit of a headache.

He posted the screenshots on Weibo not to attract investors but purely to show off.

Success is about letting people know, right?

Counting money in a corner is what rats do.

He had thought about getting some investments before, but now with 1.1 billion USD, he didn't need it anymore.

The more funds, the greater the impact on the market.

He wasn't a real financial genius, just someone with future memories. If the funds grew too large to influence the market, he might become a target for some big players, and he didn't want to spend too much time on investments.

He still wanted to travel and show off.

Wang Zixuan sat down on the sofa with Wang Ke and smiled, "I just started investing, how about I wait a bit longer?"

Wang Liangming shook his head, "I tried to decline for you, but they all trust you and are willing to accept losses."

Wang Liangming couldn't refuse, and Wang Zixuan had no experience, so he could only say, "Then let's register a private equity fund overseas, but Dad, you'll have to handle the investors, I'll just be responsible for the operations."

Wang Liangming nodded, "I'll help you. These people are all wealthy and influential, and you can network with them. Of course, the most important thing is to do a good job with the investments. I don't expect the same high returns as before, but as long as you outperform other private equity funds and bind these people to your ship, you can do whatever you want, and no one in the country will be able to stop you."

That sounded pretty good.

With more funds, it's just a matter of diversifying investments and changing trading strategies, no longer being as aggressive as before.

With the memories of his rebirth, outperforming those private equity funds would be easy.

By the time the memories run out, no one should be able to touch him.

Wang Zixuan joked, "Then Dad, can you also arrange the registration for me?"

Wang Liangming nodded, "Sure. Will you only invest in gold, or other assets as well?"

Wang Zixuan said, "Stocks, foreign exchange, and crude oil, I might invest in those as well."

"Alright, I'll have someone buy a private equity fund first. Once the funds are in, you can start operating. If you perform well, you can establish a new fund."

Wang Zixuan smiled, "Thanks, Dad."

Yu Suting, seeing that they had talked enough, said, "Zixuan hasn't had breakfast yet, let's eat first."

Wang Liangming nodded, "Right, let's eat first."
