Chapter 122: Kneel and Call Me Daddy, It's Useless
Inside the bustling futures trading hall,
the original calm was shattered when Lin Lang made a profit of 14.3 million by shorting rubber futures with an investment of 30 million.
This astonishing achievement instantly spread throughout the entire futures trading hall, like a single stone stirring up a thousand waves, causing quite a sensation.
Everyone gathered around Lin Lang, their eyes filled with surprise, envy, and admiration, exclaiming in awe.
"Oh my god! How did he do that?"
"That's amazing, he made so much money in an instant!"
"This is simply a divine operation!"
"For a novice buyer in futures trading to have such keen insight and precise judgment, successfully shorting rubber futures and making a single profit of 14.3 million, it's simply unbelievable!"
"I have to say, this Mr. Lin is really incredible!"
"I'm impressed!"
"Mr. Lin's courage and luck are truly admirable..."
Why was everyone so envious and amazed?
Because in the millennium year 2000, when the average income was not high, Lin Lang made a single futures trade and earned a massive 14.3 million chinese yuan, which was incredibly impressive.
Seeing everyone surrounding Lin Lang, their eyes red with envy, Gu Keqing also felt a great sense of pride, looking at Lin Lang, who was shining brightly in the crowd, with eyes full of love.
However, just then, the System's prompt sounded in Lin Lang's mind again.
Ding! Omnipotent Entry System prompt: "Rubber futures, which have already fallen by 47.8%, will be pulled up by 50% by bullish market makers within five minutes, turning red and returning to a price of 2.2% up!"
"Friendly reminder to the Host, there are still 76 seconds to buy long. Missing this single-day surge in rubber futures will require waiting another three years."
Lin Lang was instantly ecstatic, but he maintained his composure on the surface.
Immediately after, Lin Lang acted quickly without hesitation, urgently issuing a trading instruction, telling the male futures trader to go long on rubber futures again and buy N lots of rubber futures worth 40 million chinese yuan.
The male futures trader confirmed, "Mr. Lin, did I hear that right? Are you giving a trading instruction to buy at the bottom?"
Lin Lang replied urgently, "Yes, yes, yes! Every second counts, quickly go long on rubber futures for me, buy 40 million chinese yuan worth of long positions, and the remaining 19.7 million will be used as margin."
The male futures trader did not dare to delay after hearing this, and quickly followed the instructions, typing in purchase information on the keyboard with a clatter and clicking the mouse rapidly.
"Mr. Lin, I have followed your instructions and successfully bought N lots of rubber futures worth 40 million chinese yuan at a price of 47.8% down, buying at the bottom."
"nice!" Lin Lang snapped his fingers.
Lin Lang had just made a massive profit of 14.3 million chinese yuan by shorting rubber futures, and then immediately invested 40 million to go long on rubber futures. This action once again caused a sensation throughout the entire hall, and the futures trading hall instantly erupted in an uproar.
"Whoa..."
"He actually dared to counter-buy at the bottom and go long? He's truly bold and skilled!"
"I'm going to follow him and buy too, maybe I can make a big profit!"
"Holy cow!"
"Opportunity knocks but once!"
"Quickly help me buy rubber futures to go long!"
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"I'll buy too, I'll buy too!"
"And me, I'll also buy rubber futures at the bottom and go long!"
Thus, some people began to follow the trend, buying rubber futures at the bottom to go long, and for a time, the futures trading hall became exceptionally lively.
Many buyers followed suit, closely tracking Lin Lang's movements and buying futures.
In an instant, all the futures traders' desks were crowded with futures buyers, all scrambling to buy rubber futures at low prices to go long and buy at the bottom, which even made the manager of the Shanghai Futures Exchange stare in disbelief.
Out of professional obligation, the futures exchange manager loudly reminded, "Please invest rationally in futures, pay attention to risk control, and absolutely do not blindly invest in rubber futures due to herd mentality."
However, the bolder futures buyers still scrambled to buy rubber futures at the bottom, following the trend and going long, hoping to make a big profit.
Meanwhile, Lin Lang remained calm, watching the large display screen in the futures trading hall, waiting for market changes.
Gu Keqing said with unhidden joy, "A Lang, I see the light of confidence in your eyes again. It seems you've made a steady profit on this trade too."
"Keqing, you're understanding me more and more now."
"A Lang, you make money as easily as picking up something on the side of the road, you're as handsome as a mystery, and your luck is always eerily good!"
Lin Lang raised an eyebrow and replied sweetly, "Keqing, haven't you noticed?"
"Every time I'm with you, I get lucky and make a lot of money. It seems you're my Fortune Goddess ~"
"Hehe..." Gu Keqing smiled charmingly.
Time passed minute by minute. Lin Lang stared intently at the large screen in the futures trading hall, his heart beating faster and faster. Sixty seconds flashed by in an instant.
The upward trend of rubber futures, just as the System predicted, saw the bullish market makers suddenly exert force. After rubber futures stopped falling at negative 47.8%, the price began to rise at an incredible speed, giving no opportunity for retail futures investors to buy at the bottom and get on board.
The extreme drop of 47.8% was to liquidate all the buyers who went long on rubber futures, forcing them to close their positions and hand over their bloody chips.
Lin Lang's lips curled slightly. He knew this wave of bottom-buying would bring him substantial profits.
"Holy cow!" Someone shouted excitedly.
"It's going up!"
"Rubber futures actually went up!"
"I knew following him was the right choice!" Another person's face was flushed with excitement.
The futures trading hall was abuzz with activity, and futures buyers were all clustered in front of the large screen, their eyes fixed on the constantly fluctuating numbers and curves.
"Awesome!"
"I caught this wave of buying rubber futures at the bottom and going long!"
"I made money!"
"Following Mr. Lin to buy rubber futures and go long on this wave was a huge profit!"
"Holy cow!"
"I made a fortune!"
"It's true, you get to eat meat when you follow a big shot!"
"Haha..."
"I've been trading futures for so long, and I've never made this much money. Today, I really latched onto the right person and got incredibly lucky!"
"Thanks to Mr. Lin, this child of fortune, as a guiding light, if I hadn't followed the trend and bought rubber futures at the bottom, how could I have caught such a good market trend?!"
In the futures trading hall, the atmosphere was exceptionally lively.
The futures buyers who followed the trend to buy rubber futures at the bottom and go long were all staring intently at the screen, their eyes filled with anticipation and tension. When they saw the price of rubber futures, which they had bought by following Lin Lang, stop falling and soar, their excitement was uncontrollable.
"Rubber futures, which had just fallen to 47.8%, actually surged back to a positive 2.2% price in less than a minute, turning red! Brothers who bought at the bottom just now, you've made a massive 50% profit!"
"Who followed Mr. Lin to buy rubber futures at the bottom and go long?"
"Me!"
"Me, me, me!"
"And me..."
There were actually more than a dozen bold futures buyers who followed Lin Lang to buy long positions in rubber futures at the bottom, all with joyful faces, unable to suppress their excitement.
The futures buyers who made money by following the trend to buy at the bottom excitedly clenched their fists and shouted loudly, their voices echoing throughout the hall.
The entire Shanghai Futures Exchange hall seemed to be enveloped in a fervent atmosphere, and people's emotions erupted like a volcano.
"Wow!"
"This time, I was really lucky!"
"Following Mr. Lin to buy futures actually made me so much money!"
"Yes, yes!"
"I can't believe my eyes. I've been trading futures for so long, and this is the first time I've made 50% on a single bottom-buying trade. I'm really benefiting from Mr. Lin!"
Those futures buyers who made money by following the trend to buy rubber futures at the bottom were all so excited they were dancing, congratulating each other on their success.
The futures buyers who missed out on the opportunity were filled with regret for missing this wave of buying rubber futures at the bottom, slapping their thighs in frustration.
"Damn it!"
"Because I was timid and didn't dare to follow the trend, I missed a golden opportunity to make money. I'm practically dying of regret!"
"Sigh~"
"If only I had known, I would have followed the trend and bought rubber futures to go long. Now I can only watch others count their money!"
"I'm so envious of those who kept up with the pace. Why didn't I seize this opportunity?"
"Not latching onto the right person and following the trend to buy rubber futures at the bottom, it's a huge loss!"
"Holy cow!"
"Why didn't I act sooner?!"
"I really regret it, watching a great opportunity to make money slip away. I regret it so much I want to slap myself a few times!"
"How did that Lin guy manage to buy at the bottom so precisely?"
"Why don't I have that kind of foresight?"
However, Lin Lang merely smiled faintly at all of this, not getting carried away by making money, nor becoming complacent due to others' envy.
So, while everyone was still cheering, the composed Lin Lang immediately issued a trading instruction, telling the male futures trader to close positions and cash out, securely putting the profits into his pocket.
The futures market is unpredictable; knowing when to quit while you're ahead is the wise move.
The male futures trader skillfully operated the computer, then reported happily, "Congratulations, Mr. Lin, I have successfully closed your positions and cashed out for you. On this bottom-buying long position in rubber futures, you made a profit of 20 million chinese yuan!"
"Mr. Lin, the total funds in your futures account are now 79.7 million chinese yuan."
"nice!" Lin Lang habitually snapped his fingers.
Gu Keqing excitedly hugged Lin Lang, saying with immense excitement, "A Lang, you're simply amazing!"
"You just shorted rubber futures and made 14.3 million chinese yuan, then you reversed and bought rubber futures at the bottom, making another massive 20 million chinese yuan. It's simply a divine operation!"
"A Lang, I admire you so much!"
Lin Lang kissed Gu Keqing's beautiful and charming face, replying sweetly, "I told you, you're my Fortune Goddess!"
"With Keqing by my side, my luck is simply off the charts!"
"A Lang, you just opened your futures account this afternoon, and in less than an hour, you've made 39.5 million chinese yuan. This speed of making money is absolutely insane!"
Lin Lang smiled modestly.
Immediately after, the buyers in the futures trading hall swarmed forward, surrounding Lin Lang and Gu Keqing three layers deep, asking excitedly, "Mr. Lin, you are simply a genius at futures trading!"
"Yes!"
"Mr. Lin, you are truly divine!"
"Please, Mr. Lin, give us some guidance. We also want to follow Mr. Lin and make a lot of money in futures."
"Mr. Lin, which type of futures are you going to buy next?"
"Yes!"
"Mr. Lin, are you going long or short next?"
"Mr. Lin, can we go long on silver futures?"
"Mr. Lin, can we go short on wheat futures?"
Lin Lang would absolutely not recommend futures to these people; even if they knelt and called him daddy, it would be useless.
Lin Lang knew very well that it was wise to quit while he was ahead. So, Lin Lang replied loudly, "Thank you for thinking highly of me, but I can only responsibly tell everyone that Lin Lang's good luck has run out today, and it's not convenient for me to recommend futures to everyone."
"Please make way, we need to leave."
Lin Lang wrapped his arm around the beautiful and charming Gu Keqing, quickly squeezed out of the crowd, and walked towards the exit of the futures trading hall without further ado.
"Hey~ Mr. Lin, don't leave!"
"Mr. Lin, please be kind and recommend a profitable futures for us?"
Lin Lang, however, left the Shanghai Futures Exchange with his lover Gu Keqing, without looking back, leaving behind a group of bewildered followers.
