Chapter 316: 137, Lin Mo shocks the New York Stock Exchange! The greatest trader!_7
The other party didn’t want money, so Lin Mo didn’t insist on giving it.
Seeing this situation, he guessed that the trader in front of him was probably no ordinary person.
Lin Mo took the US Dollars back out, put on a new mask and a duckbill cap, and curiously asked, “What’s the name of that Grand Xia person you mentioned?”
The trader apologized and said, “I’m sorry, I can’t reveal his name.”
“However, he has a distinctive look… a very big head, a full and protruding forehead, as if he’s an extraterrestrial being.”
“Oh right, he also has another characteristic, which is that many people from Grand Xia like to call him ‘Dad.’
Dad?
A very big head? A full and protruding forehead?
Like an alien?
“I think I know who you’re talking about.”
Lin Mo smiled faintly, these descriptions were actually pretty clear. He also hadn’t expected that one day he would be spoken of in the same breath as that tycoon, which felt somewhat surreal.
But then he thought that with his own Intelligence System, he completely had the qualifications to become the world’s richest person.
And he’d reach that status in a speedrun version!
It’s just that because of Chen Shanhe’s existence, he couldn’t devote himself entirely to making money.
Moreover, Lin Mo had come to understand a truth: the tycoons in the public eye were not really all that significant—they were just actors pushed to the front of the stage.
The truly powerful individuals or groups often don’t stand out and are not known to the world.
For example, Chen Shanhe.
And others like Wu Jingguo, who casually spent billions to buy the Qianlong Treasure Sword as if they were buying a bottle of mineral water, and those magnates from various countries who pull the strings behind the scenes, they are the real masters of this world.
Without actual power to rely on, even if you make money, you’re just earning it for those big shots!
With new masks and caps on, Li Jinwen and Lin Mo said goodbye to the trader, hand in hand, and walked out of the building.
Not far away,
The New York Stock Exchange was about to close, but there was still a large crowd of retail investors clamoring at the door, wanting to get in, unwilling to leave.
An event like today’s GameStop sensation had a fatal attraction to anyone who liked to speculate in stocks.
This allure was no less than that of soccer fans’ passion for the World Cup finals.
Li Jinwen looked around sneakily, as if she had done something wrong, and while walking, she whispered, “Honey, do you think they can really win against the capitalists?”
This day had been too thrilling; Li Jinwen’s mind was still filled with the volatile lines of the stock prices and the overwhelming news on the internet.
Win?
Was it that easy to win?
Although Musk tweeted today, pushing GameStop’s popularity to the peak, popularity will cool down, and the dealers and brokers have too many tricks up their sleeves.
They can create false financial statements,
can restrict trading,
and even turn GameStop’s circuit breaker mechanism into 48 hours.
When 48 hours have passed and the hype is gone, faced with plummeting stock prices, how many people can really resist selling?
Retail investors and capitalists, this was inherently an unfair competition.
Even Musk was just there to add fuel to the fire, simply stirring up trouble for Wall Street’s financial tycoons.
If he were truly that righteous, he would have personally joined the fray by now.
Retail investors are just retail investors, and they can never change their destiny as little more than fodder.
While thinking about these complex financial struggles, Lin Mo diverged the conversation with a smile: “That’s none of our business anymore, we just need to take care of ourselves. After all, we’ve earned our share, and everyone has their own fate. As for their future outcome, it’s not for us to worry about.”
“The hotel is already booked, shall we go now?”
Li Jinwen nodded.
The two hailed a taxi by the roadside; after Li Jinwen gave the address, the vehicle smoothly drove towards their destination.
Inside the car, Lin Mo opened his family chat group and looked at the chat history.

[Lin Siyu: @everyone, Dad, Mom, your granddaughter is in my hands. Speak, how much ransom are you willing to pay?]
[Lin Changshui: You’re such a grown person, still not acting sensible. Where is your brother?]
[Zhang Li: Brother is out with sister-in-law dealing with things, we acted separately today.]

[Li Jinshan: Look at the sugar-glazed apples I made today. Finish up and come home soon, nowhere is better than home!]
[Lin Siyu: My brother probably doesn’t think so; he’s out enjoying himself with my sister-in-law somewhere!]
[Xu Qin: Your brother is busy with important things. You should start getting serious too, it’s time to get married and have kids. @Xing Jiang, talk some sense into her when you can!]
[Lin Siyu: Oh, can’t we talk about something else, I’m not discussing this with you guys.]
After reading the chat history, Lin Mo also recorded a video on his phone and sent it to the group.

[Lin Mo: We might not come back tonight; there are quite a few things to handle. Little sister, don’t forget to bathe Mumu. @Xing Jiang, go have a nice meal tonight, I’ll reimburse you.]
[Zhang Li: Thanks, bro.]
Li Jinwen was also looking at the chat history in the group, and surprisingly asked, “We’re not going back tonight? But there’s nothing else happening, right?”
Lin Mo teased, “We’ve eaten, made so much money from stocks, and there’s a candlelight dinner tonight. I put so much thought into this, and you’re telling me you want to go home?”
Li Jinwen’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she looked at the driver before saying, “What are you doing? There’s a stranger here.”
Having just made two billion in US Dollars, Lin Mo was also in a good mood and joked, “No problem, he can’t understand what we’re talking about. Let him be.”
