Chapter 538: Chapter 537: The Awesome Mr. Zhang

Mr. Jiang had just had Wang Hao do a face reading for him, and at this moment, he held an exceptional trust in Wang Hao. So, when he heard what Zhang Baowen said, he immediately became disgruntled. "Mr. Zhang," he said, "the readings that Master Wang does are very accurate. I think that while technical analysis is important in stocks, predicting should not be completely overlooked either. You agree, right?"

Seeing Mr. Jiang defend Wang Hao like this, Zhang Baowen was momentarily stunned, then his brow furrowed slightly.

The relationship between these two didn’t seem ordinary, which was problematic!

Speaking of which, Zhang Baowen was currently single. Ever since he had caught a glimpse of Mr. Jiang, he was instantly enamored. His presence here today—as if by chance—to encounter Mr. Jiang was, in fact, the result of quite a lot of effort behind the scenes!

If such a great opportunity was spoiled by this so-called Master Wang, that would indeed be a huge loss!

"Sorry, Mr. Jiang," Zhang Baowen said, his face breaking into a sly smile, giving Wang Hao an amused look. "I’ve been in this industry for a few years now, and I’ve seen countless so-called masters who can ’divine and calculate’ enter the market full of confidence, only to lose everything and leave defeated. After all, the money you’re investing is real hard cash. If this master is only good at talking and you end up actually losing money, you’ll have to foot the bill."

His words were quite malicious, but they hit on the typical ruse used by many charlatans.

Why didn’t those acclaimed masters who claimed they could predict everything dare to enter the stock market? It was because they were simply unable to calculate it; otherwise, wouldn’t they all be billionaires by now?

"Wow, I’m surprised you have such insight," Wang Hao said with a smile, looking at Zhang Baowen. "Actually, I’m quite interested in this area too. Why don’t you start by giving us a lecture, Mr. Zhang? To be honest, I’m quite curious myself. You must be really accurate at predicting stocks, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Baowen suddenly puffed up with pride!

See, didn’t I say he wouldn’t dare? Hmmph, just a charlatan from the streets. How could a swindler like that dare to make grandiose claims in the presence of a professional like me when dealing with something as intricate and ever-changing as stocks?

However, since you’re being smart about this, Brother will show you a thing or two today. There’s no harm.

"Of course, there’s no problem," Zhang Baowen said with the arrogance of a victorious general, his face beaming with smugness as he spoke with a swagger. "Since everyone’s here today, I’ll take this opportunity to explain. No matter what, I can assure all of you that you’re entering the most valuable period of the next few years! This period could multiply your future income many times over, propelling you into a new realm of your stock market career!"

Wang Hao: "..."

Oh my, could you make it sound any more mystical?

Of course, since it’s tied to wealth, no one here would complain about having too much money, right?

So although everyone was quite cold towards him, they at least wanted to hear him out.

"Actually, I’m not one for empty talk and gossip," Zhang Baowen paused, then continued, "What I’m going to explain today addresses just one question: How to use your existing funds, say a hundred thousand, and solely through your own wisdom, earn your first ten million! To put it another way, the distance from a hundred thousand to ten million—is how far?"

Wow! Isn’t that topic enticing?!

From a hundred thousand to ten million! It’s no exaggeration to say that everyone present could come up with a hundred thousand!

If you could really turn a hundred thousand into ten million, you’d obviously have to listen carefully!

"Great, great!" Guo Wenming’s eyes shone with the gleam of gold. "So Mr. Zhang, how can we multiply our money?"

Wang Hao was sitting on the side, smiling as he watched Zhang Baowen—please proceed with your performance, comrade!

"How can you turn a hundred thousand into ten million," Zhang Baowen cleared his throat, beginning his indoctrination, "This varies from person to person. For some, it’s an insurmountable gap; but for a select few, it’s actually very close, merely leaping over the seven steps of 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280. The key lies in crossing the first step; the remaining process is the same, just repeating what you did the first time a few more times."

Wang Hao was utterly flabbergasted!

You make it sound so easy. What do you think this is, Mahjong, where you can call ’double score’ just like that? Seven steps? If making money in the stock market was that easy, what would be the point of having a real industry?

Then Zhang Baowen began his continuous chatter, "First, let’s see. A hundred thousand doubled, compounding the interest, just need to profit 10% seven or eight times in a row. If you have a highly refined and perfect trading system, and you earn an average of 5% per week, in ten weeks that turns a hundred thousand into two hundred and sixty thousand, minus the profits cut short by timely stop-losses, let’s just count it as a double to two hundred thousand. Repeat this seven times, seventy weeks, and you go from a hundred thousand to thirteen million compounded. There are fifty weeks in a year, minus holidays, stock consolidation periods, and times when you’re out of the market, let’s again be conservative, cut it in half, only twenty-five weeks, so three years is more than enough to go from a hundred thousand to ten million. See, isn’t that simple?"

Mm, what you’re saying sounds simple enough, but as for actually putting it into practice, hehe...

"It does seem to make sense!" The group exchanged glances, and that’s when Zhao Fang asked, "You mentioned something about a highly precise and perfected trading system just now. Do you have such a successful trading system?"

Hearing Zhao Fang’s question, Zhang Baowen chuckled confidently and said, "Of course I do. If I didn’t, what would I be talking about? Not only do I have one, but it’s also currently the only one in the country that incorporates technical logic with philosophical thinking, and it’s the best system tested in practice every day! I’m not exaggerating when I say that my system could blow those pieces of trash written by barely literate fools out of the water by dozens of streets."

Holy shit, this guy’s bragging is out of this world!

If you’re really that amazing, you’d be the world’s richest man in the future, making even Buffett stand aside!

"Is it that powerful?" Guo Wenming’s eyes widened as he said, "If you’re that great, then why would you tell us about it? Wouldn’t it be better to just make a fortune quietly at home?"

Hearing Guo Wenming ask this, Zhang Baowen felt even more proud!

He even took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it up, squinted slightly as he took a puff, and then said, "The height of a person is always limited by their own perspective. As for what lies beyond their perspective, they can’t understand. This is the typical mindset of the poor, using their narrowness to measure the vastness of the world, especially the intellectual world of others. It’s like the ancient peasants who could only imagine the Emperor as rich as can be, thinking under his bed must be stuffed full with giant radishes, believing counting money at home every day is life’s ultimate pursuit. But what is human life but a fleeting moment? Quietly earning money is just so low-level; how could it count for anything? Of all the great and famous people in world history, how many are remembered for their wealth?"

This act could score a 99 out of 100, and the missing point is to keep him from being too proud!

"This... Mr. Zhang does make sense!" Guo Wenming was completely dazzled as Zhang Baowen’s image in his mind grew more elevated: "Mr. Zhang’s realm is indeed far above ours!"

"Of course!" Zhang Baowen went into full flow: "The boundless universe harbors the stars, while time hastily circles the sky. In the alternating prosperity and decline of myriad things, fading flowers once flirted with the colorful insects. Heroes and generals are etched in bamboo and silk, while fishermen and woodcutters dance on the water. The ebb and flow of fortunes are but a dream through generations. A single paper can trap the past and present, unrolling the dominance of the world. This poem ’A Riverside Immortal,’ encapsulates the innate limitations and the fleeting freedom of life in the universe, as well as the similarity and dynamic balance of life forms at all levels. Against this limitless backdrop, the grand battlefield where individuals and groups spend themselves in pursuit of interests unfolds. The characteristics of stock price movements are an extension of these limitations and similarities in the realm of strategic action."

Wang Hao: "..."

Damn, brother, you really know how to show off! Have you memorized ’A Riverside Immortal’ or what?!

Zhao Fang quietly nudged Jiang Huanyu and whispered, "Has this guy always been like this... such a bragger?"

"I hadn’t noticed it before either," Jiang Huanyu glanced at Zhang Baowen, then at Wang Hao, and immediately said, "I’m going to test him out!"

"Mr. Zhang," Jiang Huanyu quickly took out her phone, opened the stock app, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, can you tell which of these stocks look better?"

Actually, she wanted to see if Zhang Baowen was really as impressive as he claimed, but instead, Zhang Baowen cleverly passed the buck to Wang Hao!

"Well, I think it might be better to let this Master have a look first," Zhang Baowen placed the phone in front of Wang Hao and said with a smile, "Master, you’ve got the touch and the knowledge, what do you think about which of these stocks has a better outlook?"

One had to admit, his strategy was absolulately ringing. That way, if Wang Hao chose correctly, he would praise the decision and take credit for it. But if it turned out to be wrong, then he could completely dismiss the charlatan and bury him underground!

And give him a good stomp on top of that.

"Oh, why the formality," Wang Hao understood exactly what Zhang Baowen was up to, but he wasn’t worried in the slightest.

Kid, I’m on a lucky streak today! Scared of you? Just wait, I’ll show you how you won’t even know how you die!

"Let me see, let me see," Wang Hao took the phone, randomly picked a stock that had suffered the biggest loss, and after pretending to examine it for a moment, grandly declared, "This one!"

Master Wang has chosen a stock!

Everyone at the scene quickly looked over, and upon seeing it, their eyes bulged!

The stock Wang Hao had picked was actually one that had hit the limit, pinned under hundreds of thousands of orders right at the limit-down threshold!

Such a stock was obviously a losing proposition, so clear that anyone, including fools, could tell buying it meant losing money!
