Becoming a Billionaire From Awakening a System

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Everything Is Ready, All We Need Is the East Wind

At that moment, Lin Feng was having the company’s finance staff tally the profits and principal in their accounts.

After all, the company’s finance staff had just started their day.

Meanwhile, his other three roommates were still catching up on sleep on the office sofa.

Only Lin Feng and the accountant were by the computer.

Lin Feng was by the computer because he needed to keep a close eye on Vice President Li’s situation.

According to the plan Lin Feng and Vice President Li had discussed yesterday, as soon as the factory matter was settled today, they would find out tonight at the latest whether Boss Tian was willing to cooperate.

If the deal was successful, Lin Feng would need to transfer the funds to Vice President Li.

This was why Lin Feng had asked the finance staff to quickly tally the company’s financial information first thing in the morning.

When the message from Vice President Li arrived, the finance department’s work was already in full swing.

Last night, Lin Feng had used the final charge of the Stock Market Trend Prediction Card to make a huge profit in the United States stock market.

To avoid attracting the attention of the major players behind the brokerage platforms, Lin Feng had chosen to operate on three different platforms simultaneously.

The money transferred from these three platforms into their accounts had now been tallied by the accountant.

”President Lin, the total funds that arrived in the company’s accounts today amount to 1.44 billion.”

The accountant was stunned when he saw the number.

He had to calculate it three times before finally reporting the amount to Lin Feng.

As the head of the company’s finance department, he knew exactly where this money came from.

It was obvious that the company’s President Lin had earned it from the stock market.

After all, just three days ago, President Lin had withdrawn 700 million in funds directly from the company’s accounts.

And now, that capital had more than doubled!

”How much?”

Jiang Chao, still half-asleep, had overheard a number he simply couldn’t believe.

He let out a strange yelp and shot up from the sofa, waking up Yang Qiniang and Cao Ming in the process.

”I’m exhausted... Old Jiang, what are you making such a racket for so early in the morning?” Yang Qiniang said with a yawn.

But Jiang Chao wasn’t the least bit sleepy now.

Looking completely bewildered, he stared at the head of finance, who had suddenly appeared in the office.

”Brother Feng, how much?” Jiang Chao asked, looking at Lin Feng with a nervous expression.

Lin Feng glanced calmly at the head of finance.

The finance head looked at the numbers on the computer, swallowed hard, and repeated, ”The total funds that arrived in the company’s accounts this morning are one billion, four hundred and forty million!”

That number instantly sobered up the three who had just woken up.

”One point four-four billion?”

”Am I going crazy?”

”Or am I still dreaming?”

The three of them spoke in unison.

They looked at each other, then turned their fervent gazes to Lin Feng’s face.

”Is this for real?”

Lin Feng nodded. ”The head of finance I hired at great expense wouldn’t make such a basic mistake, right?”

The finance head nodded, still a bit dazed by the number himself.

For an investment firm, it was perfectly normal to operate with large amounts of capital.

Lin Feng had withdrawn funds from the company’s accounts before to trade in the United States stock market.

But this time, in just three days, he had managed to more than double the money he took.

”My god, does that mean our return rate last night was around sixty percent?” Cao Ming said, holding his head, feeling a little dizzy.

Lin Feng nodded calmly. ”That’s about right. But our principal for each subsequent investment is growing, so a return rate like this isn’t that surprising.”

Jiang Chao’s lips trembled as he looked at Lin Feng. ”Brother Feng, you call this ’not surprising’?”

”My god!”

”Last night, we earned a full five hundred and forty million!”

Yang Qiniang was a bit slow on the uptake.

The finance head had already compiled the rest of the data.

This included the commission fees deducted for Lin Feng’s previous investments on the brokerage platforms, as well as the withdrawal fees from the stock market.

”Actually, to be precise, President Lin’s return rate last night was about sixty-two percent.”

”It’s just that two percent of that was used to cover various fees.”

The finance head printed out the corresponding financial report and placed it on Lin Feng’s desk.

He turned, left, and closed the door behind him.

As soon as the finance head was gone, the other three guys jumped to their feet.

”I can’t believe that just two months ago, our company was only worth one or two hundred million!”

An excited expression also appeared on Yang Qiniang’s face.

To be honest, numbers like tens of billions or hundreds of billions didn’t make much of a difference to the old Yang Qiniang.

After all, his father’s net worth was substantial.

He sometimes discussed huge deals worth tens of billions.

But this company was something Yang Qiniang had been involved with from its very inception.

Watching this small company grow from one or two hundred million to a large corporation with 1.4 billion in liquid assets on its books, Yang Qiniang felt a special sense of pride swell within him.

Especially since the company had reached this scale in less than three months.

For a moment, all three of them looked at Lin Feng with eyes full of admiration.

”This is incredible! I’m now someone who’s participated in a billion-plus project!” Jiang Chao said with a chuckle.

”Alright, we just got lucky with the market trend yesterday,” Lin Feng said modestly.

But that wasn’t what the other three were thinking.

On the second day of the investment, when the United States stock market was in a complete slump, Lin Feng still managed to realize a profit of a hundred million.

’In our eyes, it doesn’t matter if the market is good or bad. It only affects how much money Lin Feng makes.’

”Yang Qiniang, go survey the various departments, then have the finance department return the money we previously took from their projects.”

”As for the extra seven hundred million, contact Vice President Chen and see whether we should allocate it based on project needs or continue to invest it in the Celestial Dynasty’s stock market.”

”From that, set aside six hundred million for me. I have a use for it soon,” Lin Feng instructed.

Yang Qiniang instinctively opened his mouth to ask, ”Brother Feng, why aren’t you going to keep investing?”

Lin Feng chuckled and shook his head. ”I’m setting the stock market aside for now. Our company is about to land a big project.”

”I’ll be personally responsible for that project, so I’m afraid I won’t have the energy for the stock market.”

He paused for a moment before adding, ”Besides, I have a feeling the United States stock market isn’t in a good state right now. The risk of entering at this time is too high.”

Yang Qiniang instinctively wanted to argue, since the situation in the United States market yesterday had been exceptionally good.

Otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn’t have been able to achieve a sixty percent return rate.

But then he remembered that Lin Feng’s understanding of the stock market was far more thorough than his own.

So, Yang Qiniang didn’t say anything.

Previously, the company’s various projects and departments had pooled their liquid capital.

Although they knew Lin Feng had promised to return the funds after three days, none of them truly believed it in their hearts.

’After all, what could possibly be done by pulling out that much money for just three days?’

But unexpectedly, on the morning of the fourth day, the money was actually returned.

And they heard that Mr. Lin had also made a huge profit in the United States stock market.

The various departments could use this opportunity to apply for more project funding.

This news left everyone astonished.

’He really made a profit with that money in just three days?’

Regardless, if the company’s profits were good, everyone’s future was secure.

Lin Feng had the finance department set aside the necessary funds.

It was the money for the Cyan Mountain Town land plot.

Last night’s investment had indeed met Lin Feng’s expectations.

This time, the three-day Stock Market Trend Prediction Card had earned him a total of 740 million.

He had earned enough to cover the cost of the land plot in one go.

This fulfilled his original goal for investing the money.

Now, everything was in place; he just needed the final go-ahead.

He was just waiting for news from Vice President Li.
