The news that Z Payment Treasure had a bug causing a 20% discount on all orders quickly spread online.
Those who were lucky enough to use it for payment during the bug's active time felt fortunate, while those who missed out on exploiting Old Ma's wool were filled with regret.
Among all the news reports, the video interviewing the official source was the most popular.
This was because, according to official disclosures, one user exploited nearly one hundred million, and fortunately, it would not be recovered.
Earning nearly one hundred million in just a few minutes—such good luck seemed almost too good to be true.
As the news fermented, different voices slowly emerged online.
"I think this is fake news. Anyway, the official source won't reveal who was so ruthless as to exploit one hundred million. That news can be made up by them!"
"That's right, it must be fake news. The official source might not recover a few hundred or a few thousand, but how could they give up on nearly one hundred million!"
"Unless they announce who exploited one hundred million, it's definitely fake!"
...
Z Payment Treasure's official release of that interview video was originally intended to make netizens believe they were responsible, taking ownership of their mistakes, and establishing a positive image.
In recent years, their competition with green software has slowly put them at a disadvantage, and coupled with Tian Gou Shopping facing numerous competitors, they are no longer as dominant as they once were.
Therefore, they reluctantly abandoned the recovery of nearly one hundred million in losses, and specifically mentioned that one person exploited nearly one hundred million, precisely to let this news ferment and maximize the effect of image building.
However, it turned out to have the opposite effect.
Netizens simply didn't believe that anyone could exploit nearly one hundred million from the bug incident.
Some netizens even began analyzing it online.
Finally, based on precise calculations, it was concluded that without prior preparation, it was impossible to exploit one hundred million in just over two minutes.
For a time, Z Payment Treasure was in a dilemma.
Disclosing user information was absolutely not an option; once disclosed, it would mean telling the outside world that their users had no privacy.
If they didn't disclose it, they would be suspected by netizens of reporting fake news and deliberately fabricating false information to establish a positive image for themselves.
In short, no matter what they did, there would be no good outcome.
The only thing they could do was watch the news ferment online.
Lin Yang smiled as he watched these news reports and the arguments among netizens about the truth of the incident.
If he wasn't the one who exploited one hundred million, he would probably be one of them right now.
Lin Yang closed the news, then opened his online banking and fell into thought, looking at the balance of 98,542,428 in his card.
Leaving this money in the account like this was simply a waste; it had to be put to good use.
Investing in the stock market was a good choice.
Although it's said that out of 10 people who trade stocks, 9 lose money, and one breaks even.
But for Lin Yang, it was different; he had a weekly intelligence system.
Once stocks with continuous daily limits and significant market value increases appeared, the system would definitely push relevant intelligence.
Using the intelligence, there was no reason for him to lose money.
For example, Yushu Technology, purchased this week according to intelligence, had 5 consecutive daily limits, bringing a 148% return.
The only trouble was that large sums of money entering and exiting at once would cause significant short-term fluctuations in stock prices.
This would prevent maximizing the use of intelligence information.
Of course, this problem was not without a solution, which was to buy and sell in small batches.
It's just that this would cause him a lot of trouble.
The best solution was to find a stock advisor and let him help operate; this way, he would only need to give orders, and the specific work would be handled by the stock advisor.
Thinking of this, Lin Yang sent a message to Zhang Jun.
"Do you know a reliable stock advisor?"
Zhang Jun worked in a bank and was considered to be in the financial industry, so he should know people who do this kind of work.
Although Lin Yang didn't want to attend the class reunion before, he still went out of consideration for Zhang Jun's feelings.
In fact, Zhang Jun's feelings were only a small part; more importantly, he understood the importance of connections.
Classmates might not be as wealthy as him, but there might be times when he needed them.
Just like finding a stock advisor, he had no contact with this industry and had no idea which one was good or not, or whether they were reliable, just like opening a blind box.
If he was unlucky enough to encounter an incompetent or unreliable one, he didn't know how much loss it would cause.
But because he attended the reunion last time, he gave Zhang Jun face and showed a little bit of his strength.
Zhang Jun would definitely take his matters seriously.
Less than a minute after Lin Yang sent the message, Zhang Jun's reply came back.
"I know a very capable senior who started working at Xingcheng Securities after graduation and was promoted to general manager in just two years. As long as she's a client, they've never lost money. I even ran into her a few days ago and chatted a bit; I heard she's about to be promoted again."
As expected, just as he guessed, Zhang Jun knew relevant industry professionals.
A stock advisor who can sustain their business is not simple; they must have connections and a network, otherwise no one would seek their advice or trading services.
Someone who can sustain it and get continuous promotions in a short time is even more of a dragon among men; not only do they have connections and a network, but their own abilities must also be outstanding.
Having such a person operate for him would definitely be the best.
"Can you help me contact her? I want her to trade and invest for me."
"I can, but..."
Zhang Jun hesitated, implying something.
Lin Yang edited a message and sent it:
"Just say what you want to say. There's no need to be too considerate between classmates."
"Well, she's highly capable and has good judgment, so many people want her as an advisor and for trading. Therefore, she only takes large orders; anything less than one hundred million is not considered."
Lin Yang smiled, wondering what it was; it turned out there was a threshold to find her, requiring at least 10 million.
He sent an OK gesture:
"No problem. Can you arrange a time for us to meet and talk?"
"Wh-what?"
Zhang Jun couldn't believe his eyes; he knew what Lin Yang's message meant.
It meant that he had over 10 million in cash, otherwise, after he mentioned his senior's condition for managing funds, Lin Yang wouldn't have still asked to meet.
It had only been over two years since he graduated from university, and he already had a net worth of tens of millions.
Not only that, but he also owned 10 properties, which were worth at least several million.
Even Shi Cong, whom everyone previously thought was the most successful in their class, probably couldn't compare to Lin Yang.
Zhang Jun finally understood why Shi Cong wanted to organize the class reunion and insisted on him inviting Lin Yang.
Although Lin Yang was low-key, he was the most successful among all their classmates.
Zhang Jun nodded and thought to himself:
"Fortunately, Lin Yang came to our bank for a loan, which gave me the opportunity to interact with him. Now that he's asking for my help, he's treating me as a friend. I must handle this well. If he's happy and deposits a few million in our bank, then my promotion and raise might not be impossible."
Thinking of this, he immediately found his senior's number in his contacts and called her.
