《China's Good Voice》 not only swept the country but also, riding on the recent momentum of Wang Zixuan, crossed the national borders and made headlines in many international media outlets.

"Chinese genius creates another miracle, a singing show earns over $100 million."

"Chinese genius crosses over into investment, maintaining the predator's nature."

"China's Good Voice, a highly creative singing show."

The media reports also drew attention from the international television industry. After watching the reruns on Zhejiang TV, some sensitive industry insiders were immediately attracted by the show's format and contacted Evolution Media.

Chen Zuming did not rush to quote a price but asked them to wait a few more episodes before negotiating the copyright price. At the same time, he announced that production companies from several countries had already sent letters expressing interest in acquiring the copyright of "China's Good Voice."

This move not only added fuel to the domestic "China's Good Voice" but also sparked competition among foreign companies.

Sure enough, the news that the copyright of "China's Good Voice" could be sold internationally garnered many critics' praise, continuously adding to the show's popularity.

Amid the heated atmosphere of "China's Good Voice," Wang Zixuan's Predator Fund quietly opened for business.

There was no opening ceremony, not even a signboard. The Predator Fund began operations in a five-story building in Sanya.

The staff had increased to over a hundred, divided into various business departments such as foreign exchange, futures, stocks, and bonds, as well as service departments like legal and cybersecurity.

Wang Zixuan's first order was to short the euro and related European bonds.

Professional traders operated a wider range of financial instruments than Wang Zixuan, using derivatives like put options to lock in profits with minimal capital, but with much less risk than Wang Zixuan's operations.

For Wang Zixuan, who studied finance in his previous life and absorbed the economic knowledge of a prodigal son, these derivatives were easy to understand and not particularly complex.

Wang Zixuan personally managed the overall risk of the fund, assigning different short-selling tasks to the traders, who then executed them.

Each trader chose different markets and products, but they all shorted the euro and European bonds.

Wang Zixuan was not worried about the fund's targets being leaked, as long as his positions remained hidden.

In fact, no one except him knew the total position of the fund.

Each trader had a different quota, and they were forbidden from disclosing the scale of their operations, making it impossible to estimate the total position and leverage of the fund. Only Wang Zixuan knew how much volatility the fund could withstand.

On the third day of the Predator Fund's operation, the media reported on it, but no one managed to interview Wang Zixuan.

Security at the building was tight; without credentials, one couldn't even enter the parking area, let alone the office building.

Some reporters followed a few people coming out of the building and learned that it was the headquarters of the Predator Fund. However, the employees only mentioned that the company offered good salaries and benefits, and could not reveal any other details.

Despite the low-key start, major media outlets still gave the Predator Fund front-page coverage.

The global capital markets were even more affected.

On the morning of January 15th, Wang Zixuan posted a Weibo: "The Positive Energy Fund's provincial branches are officially operational, hoping to help more people. Please help by forwarding this post so more people in need can see it."

On the 5th, Wang Zixuan's company simultaneously recruited in each province, then trained the hired personnel for a week. Prior to this, they had reviewed some cases that urgently needed assistance, but apart from the headquarters in Beijing, the other branches had not yet started formal operations.

Wang Zixuan's Weibo posts were already widely shared, and his call for support led to a surge in shares.

At the same time, a large number of netizens left comments.

"Positive Energy Husband!"

"Love you, Husband."

"The Beijing branch has already spent over 200 million yuan in half a month. With all the branches operating together, 20 billion yuan might not last long."

"Supporting you, Husband. Already shared."

"Husband should establish a foundation like Bill Gates, ensuring a steady flow of funds."

"Given the speed of the Positive Energy Fund's assistance, 20 billion yuan is likely to be used up in two months."

"Unfortunately, the Positive Energy Fund cannot accept donations."

"Estimating that the Positive Energy Fund will soon run out of funds."

"Fan group 72809621, welcome to join the fans of Husband."

The Predator Fund's positions were almost fully established, and Wang Zixuan was preparing to take a day off. After browsing through the comments, he posted another Weibo: "I am just a small person and do not wish to be remembered forever. As long as there are people in society who need help, the Positive Energy Fund will do its best to assist them. Even if Xia Minghan is killed, there will be others to carry on. Perhaps one day the Positive Energy Fund will come to an end, but the world will not lack positive energy. The future belongs to the country and the next generation. I firmly believe the world will become better and better."

This Weibo post immediately drew high praise from many netizens.

"You are the best, Husband."

"You are not like those who seek fame and glory. They say your situation is not within their scope of assistance, even though there are so many people who need help."

"You are the noblest person in the world."

"Who would believe they will help others if they don't help the people in front of them?"

"You are truly doing charity, Husband."

"Supporting you, Husband."

"I never understood why many foundations set such a small scope of assistance."

Wang Zixuan's two Weibo posts were also widely reported by the media.

Many critics highly praised Wang Zixuan's character.

The future should be considered by the country. As society develops, the welfare system will become more comprehensive. Perhaps in a few years, the country will establish a complete welfare system, and at that time, charity foundations will no longer be necessary.

Although it might seem like flattery, this possibility is entirely plausible.

Some leaders were also very satisfied with Wang Zixuan's Weibo posts, noting his humility and lack of arrogance.

This is how one can last long!

At the leaders' indication, the evening news broadcast the news of the Positive Energy Fund's provincial branches on the same night, though it only lasted a few seconds, not as long as when the fund was established. However, being featured twice on the evening news in such a short time was a clear indication of the government's support for the Positive Energy Fund.

Amid the praise, the second episode of "China's Good Voice" aired at 10:30 PM, and the ratings continued to soar.

The second episode's ratings reached 13%, not only not declining but even increasing, causing another round of shock.

While the first episode did have many viewers who were forced to watch, most became loyal fans of "China's Good Voice." Meanwhile, more people watched the reruns or joined the trend to watch "China's Good Voice."

To promote the show, the shameless Wang Zixuan posted another Weibo on Friday afternoon: "Choose the right show, and the husband comes home early."

(Thank you to the first master "I am Bodhi without roots" for the 10,000 RMB donation, and to the book friend "Old Kada" for the 688 RMB donation, "Book Friend 130308201034078" and "zcnsmyqp" for the 588 RMB donations, "Attendant Nine-Headed Worm" for the 200 RMB donation, "Light a cigarette and smoke until dawn," "Tears are the cry of ice," and "=Can't help it=" for the 100 RMB donations.)
