226: The real big brother at the wedding, no one can stop him in the market!

That evening.

The four roommates, who hadn't seen each other in a long time, drank together until late into the night.

They were naturally drinking the Maotai that Wang Lin had brought.

It wasn't that the liquor Zhou Gang's family bought was bad, but they weren't so fussy as to insist on drinking the host's liquor just because it was a wedding.

If there was good liquor, they would drink good liquor.

Just be casual.

Sitting together, everyone chatted about their lives in the months following graduation.

And honestly, listening to their respective experiences, things seemed okay for now.

Sun Haiyang went to work at some kind of factory near his home, controlling machinery.

Wang Lin didn't quite grasp the specifics, but it definitely wasn't related to his major.

Li Xiaohui was doing alright, having found a job related to his major.

As for Zhou Gang, there was no need to mention him; he was preparing to start a family before starting a career.

Wang Lin looked at his three roommates, and his heart softened.

Or perhaps the alcohol was starting to kick in.

“If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to me. I stand by what I said: the company's doors are always open for you!”

“Or if any of you want to start a business and need a few hundred thousand or a million, you know that this amount of money means nothing to me. Consider it a gift from me!”

Wang Lin didn't say 'loan'; he couldn't bear to lose face like that.

These were his only three roommates from college; the friendship built over several years was worth a million or so.

The three were deeply moved upon hearing this.

If they hadn't left campus, they might not have fully understood the value of money.

But the social tempering of the past few months had already made them realize what that million could buy.

Putting everything else aside, even their own parents probably couldn't produce a million for them.

Sun Haiyang chuckled: “Then Brother Lin, stop beating around the bush. Just give each of your brothers a million. Wouldn't it be great to take off immediately during this major bull market?”

Only Sun Haiyang dared to say this.

The other two didn't dare crack such a joke.

Even among roommates, there are degrees of closeness.

Wang Lin burst out laughing: “You dog Haiyang, lazy and greedy! What if you lose all 1 million? Didn't you say you'd never touch finance?”

Sun Haiyang stuck out his neck: “Well, we can't just watch the market rally happen without getting involved, can we?!”

Wang Lin clinked glasses with the three again and said, “Stock trading has indeed been quite profitable lately. I can give you this money, but it's a loan, or rather, consider it an investment in you. If you make money, we split it. If you lose money—if you can lose money during a massive bull market, then don't even bother with the stock market.”

The meaning of the last sentence was that if they lost money, they wouldn't have to repay it.

With full stomachs and satisfied appetites, they moved on to the next activity.

.

Time quickly arrived at the afternoon before the wedding.

According to local custom, the bride's family was supposed to come over in the afternoon for the 'Packing of the Dowry Box.'

As soon as they arrived, they saw a row of luxury cars parked nearby, all washed until they gleamed brightly.

Not a single one was valued below a million!

Leading the line was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, the absolute top-tier version.

As for the tens of millions worth of sports cars, Wang Lin hadn't arranged for them to be driven here.

Such cars couldn't handle the somewhat muddy and rough roads here. Scratching the car was minor; getting stuck on the road would be truly embarrassing.

“Holy crap, is the groom's side that wealthy? They got a Rolls?”

“Maybe it's from some wedding company, just pretending to be rich!”

“No, no, no, I heard they are the groom's roommate's cars! Super awesome!!”

“This car looks genuinely cool! It seems to be the latest model. Wedding companies don't have cars like this; they're all outdated models or fake Rolls!”

“Cousin married a rich guy!”

“I said it was his roommate, not him!!”

A large group of the bride's family arrived grandly, surrounding the cars with immense envy.

Zhou Gang was practically dizzy with busyness today, having to deal with family matters, coordinate with the bride's family, and rehearse for the wedding tomorrow.

Wang Lin and his two roommates sat in a corner, cracking sunflower seeds.

Watching Zhou Gang rush around.

Sun Haiyang said enviously: “Marriage is great; it makes people jealous just watching.”

Li Xiaohui, however, just felt tired: “This is too much trouble! Look how exhausted Zhou Gang is, it's really tough!!”

Wang Lin didn't say anything. Marriage was something he wouldn't consider anytime soon.

Leng Nuannuan, however, looked at Zhou Gang and his girlfriend, who had arrived and were rehearsing for tomorrow, with a hint of envy in her eyes.

She secretly glanced at Wang Lin, then quickly focused her attention back toward the front.

She just thought to herself: “When will Brother Lin and I have something like this...”

That evening.

The singers who had been ordered and invited by Sun Chao had already checked into the highest-end hotel nearby.

These stars were mostly the most popular ones right now. Among them were those liked by Zhou Gang, those liked by his girlfriend, and even those liked by Leng Nuannuan.

These were all things Sun Chao, as the head of the Marketing Department, was expected to understand.

As a subordinate, if he couldn't complete the tasks assigned by his superior, he wouldn't be far from being fired.

But merely completing the tasks wasn't enough; he also had to assess the situation and add new elements to the assignment.

For example, besides the main character, Zhou Gang, the sensory experience of their own Boss and Madam Boss was also extremely important.

Junlin Finance had plenty of money.

What they needed most now was to convert that money into things that could bring pleasure to their minds and bodies.

Furthermore, at their level, and with Junlin Finance's standing...

Sometimes, inviting celebrities didn't require money at all. This batch of currently popular stars couldn't simply be hired with cash... That same night.

Zhou Gang, Wang Lin, and the others busied themselves until 3 AM before finally falling into a deep sleep.

As for what kept them busy so late, one could only ask the Mahjong Machine nearby.

Mahjong Machine: “Speak for me!”

Early the next morning, Zhou Gang was woken up.

He, still groggy, along with the equally groggy Wang Lin and the others,

all got up early together to proceed with the subsequent activities.

At the same time, the celebrities had already discreetly entered the main house, wearing baseball caps and masks.

The reason they came so early was that they absolutely dared not offend Wang Lin or throw any diva tantrums.

As for why they wore masks and baseball caps, it was naturally to avoid stealing the host's thunder.

Today was Zhou Gang's biggest day.

A bowl of Spicy Hot Soup in the early morning made them sweat all over, instantly invigorating them.

Wang Lin and his group ate 'Big Pot Dish' early in the morning, as customs vary by region.

Wang Lin quite liked eating both Spicy Hot Soup and Big Pot Dish.

Among them, the singers also received a bowl of Spicy Hot Soup each, with the help of their assistants.

Sitting next to Wang Lin was a beautiful woman wearing a mask and a baseball cap.

Wang Lin didn't need to look to know she was one of the people scheduled to sing on stage later.

However, Wang Lin wasn't too concerned about it.

It was Zhang Shaohan who recognized Wang Lin.

She was a stock trader too!

Or rather, celebrities like them who had accumulated considerable savings all wanted their money to make money.

How did that saying go? Once a middle-aged person's savings reach a certain level, they will inevitably be spent in various ways.

Be it through investment, starting a business, or other means.

These celebrities were no different.

They were even more eager to make their money generate wealth, ideally becoming capitalists themselves.

But the path to becoming capital was too difficult; investment was simpler.

Zhang Shaohan hadn't expected to see Wang Lin so easily.

The legendary tycoon who founded Junlin Finance.

She recalled what her manager had told her a few days ago: “Shaohan, haven't you always wanted to learn investing and sing freely, unconstrained by anything?”

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you can earn his favor, then forget contracts and those record companies—nothing will hinder you anymore!”

Zhang Shaohan pondered for a long time.

Finally, seeing that no one else was nearby, she pulled down her mask.

Once she did, everyone felt she looked familiar, as she had been hugely popular on television screens this year.

“Holy cow, it really is Zhang Shaohan?”

“Brother Lin, did you really invite her?”

“Zhou Gang's wife must be ecstatic! This is such a huge honor!!”

Sun Haiyang and Li Xiaohui were shy; they didn't dare approach the big star to talk, only whispering excitedly to Wang Lin behind her.

Her manager, listening nearby, wanted to laugh.

Two big nerds.

Zhang Shaohan smiled at the two of them, then leaned closer to Wang Lin and asked, “Are you Wang Lin of Junlin Finance?”

That sentence made everyone realize: so she knew who he was?!

Wang Lin glanced at her, nodded, and said, “You are clear on today's tasks, right?”

Zhang Shaohan quickly put down her bowl and replied, “Perfectly clear!”

Discussing: What does it feel like to chat with a popular singer?

Years later, Sun Haiyang recalled that hanging out with Brother Lin made him feel like his life's experiences had been elevated.

He just listened as the two chatted casually.

He didn't dare interrupt and didn't know what to say—that was a major celebrity!!

They ate and chatted.

Zhang Shaohan felt that the financial tycoon in front of her seemed very approachable... Around 10 AM.

Everything proceeded according to schedule.

Multiple luxury cars worth millions began driving along the predetermined route.

In the car, Wang Lin sat with his roommates.

As for Zhang Shaohan and her party, they went ahead to the hotel to begin preparations.

Inside the hotel.

The hotel owner wasn't surprised when he saw a few celebrities arrive.

After all, this was the great tycoon's roommate's wedding; no matter who showed up today, he wouldn't be shocked.

Hadn't they seen some city leaders already arrive?

They came for no other reason than to meet Wang Lin.

These leaders all knew Wang Lin!!

But if they were asked to make any threats or demands, they wouldn't dare. Today was purely about building good connections.

After playing some minor games at the bride's house and successfully taking the bride,

everyone finally gathered at the hotel.

The singers' performances were scheduled during the interval while the bride and groom changed outfits.

One, to liven up the atmosphere; two, to make the interval more engaging; and three, of course, to showcase their strength.

Offstage.

Both the groom's and bride's families were indeed stunned by this unexpected performance.

"Holy crap, Old Zhou's family is so influential, they can even invite a celebrity like that!"

"She's too beautiful! I heard tickets to one of their concerts cost at least several hundred yuan!"

"That's not Old Zhou's family's connection. I heard it's one of Xiao Gang's roommates, who is very capable. They say he's in finance, specifically stock trading!"

"Stock trading, huh?! I've been trading stocks recently too. Speaking of which, I know a stock that's definitely going to hit its daily limit again these two days. Do you want to take a look?!"

In just a few words, the conversation instantly went off-topic.

Several people who enjoyed stock trading immediately ignited a discussion after one of them brought it up.

Actually, in China, stock trading is often done discreetly.

Nobody wants to be told they are gambling, especially when they are losing money.

But if it's a big bull market and they've made money, then that's another story.

Several acquaintances had originally come for a banquet today but ended up witnessing such a scene.

A currently red-hot female singer in the Chinese music scene, singing at such a small banquet?!

And upon further investigation, they discovered there was a stock market big shot behind it.

Brother Lin's identity was actually never kept a secret by him.

There was no need to.

"The stock market has been surging fiercely recently, it's too damn wild. I was recommended by a friend to get into it, and I made over 3,000 yuan right off the bat, almost a month's salary!"

"What did you buy? I've also made several thousand recently, I bought Brokerage Firms stocks!"

"I also bought Brokerage Firms. This entire sector has doubled, it's too aggressive!"

After talking about Wang Lin, they started discussing the recent stock market conditions.

But in reality, they still couldn't get away from Wang Lin.

"Weren't Brokerage Firms initially hyped up by Brother Lin? Who would have thought that a bull market expectation would follow right after, with various favorable news like interest rate cuts? Brokerage Firms soared, and I ended up selling too early!"

"Oh, who isn't saying that? We also made more than ten points on CITIC Securities, the cosmic dragon head!"

"Only ten-plus points? I made 39 points on CITIC with a full position!"

"Holy crap, you must have made a lot recently, right?"

Someone opened their account, glanced at today's market, and chuckled, "Not bad, the market is oscillating upwards again today. I estimate that after this oscillation, there will be another main upward wave!"

"3000 points have been broken, the sky above is the limit!"

Another person nearby leaned over and asked, "What did you buy today? I'm still in Brokerage Firms, but I feel like it's time to rebalance my portfolio recently!"

The person proudly showed his account: "I'm quite bullish on Internet Finance recently, plus I use this software, so I bought a Tonghuashun. And I have to say, the growth these past few days has been really strong, I even hit the daily limit!"

The people nearby looked on with envy: "Holy crap, I didn't know this thing was surging so fiercely. Could it be replacing Brokerage Firms as the main theme?"

"But I see that the military industry sector has also adjusted into place recently, perhaps there will be another wave!"

"Your Tonghuashun has risen too high, I don't dare to buy it. I'll wait for the military industry market!"

That person also nodded and said, "Don't say you don't dare to buy, even I don't dare to buy it now. Didn't you see I've reduced my position several times? I just can't hold onto it."

As the few of them chatted about the stock market, listening to the pleasant singing nearby, time seemed to fly by.

Before long, it was time for the two newcomers of the day to appear.

One of the two people discussing the stock market glanced at the best man on stage and whispered, "That person is Brother Lin, isn't he very young?"

"Holy crap, really?"

The other person couldn't believe it.

"How could that be fake? Brother Lin has never hidden his identity online, he just doesn't bother to promote himself!"

"If you ask me, he should deify himself, and then use his identity as a stock god to go wild in the entertainment industry, that would be so damn cool!"

Well, this kid started fantasizing!

At the scene.

Many people knew Wang Lin's identity.

But few had actually met him.

After performing on stage, Wang Lin and the others stepped down and were immediately enthusiastically invited over by the local leader.

When Sun Haiyang and Li Xiaohui saw the several people in jacket shirts with stern expressions, how could they not understand what was happening?

They quickly slipped away, leaving Wang Lin to fend for himself.

The middle-aged men in administrative jackets, seeing this scene, immediately forced a smile onto their serious faces.

"You must be Brother Lin, welcome to our place!"

What could Wang Lin do? He could only sit down with them... A big star appearing at a small prefecture-level city wedding.

This is definitely not a common occurrence, and it's something that would make many young people happy and proud.

Someone filmed the video of Zhang Shaohan and the others singing, as well as the ongoing wedding scene, and posted it online.

Immediately, the internet exploded.

On the Social Media Platform, some of Zhang Shaohan's fans were routinely searching for news about her.

With this search, they found this wedding.

"Why did this video pop up when I searched for Hanhan?"

"Me too!"

"Look quickly, Hanhan is actually singing in the video, and from what people are saying inside, it's today!"

"This looks like a wedding scene, right?"

"Holy crap, which big shot is so influential that they could get Hanhan to sing at their wedding! So envious!"

"It's not just Hanhan, there seem to be other singers too!"

These fans could only see Zhang Shaohan.

But among the fans, there were always some Stock Investors, and they naturally also saw Wang Lin.

This legendary big shot, his avatar had already spread across the internet as early as when he graduated.

Of course, this 'internet' refers to specific Stock Investors; only they would pay attention to Wang Lin.

The first person to discover Wang Lin was also by accident, after all, who would casually look at an unremarkable best man?

But this person happened to be studying Wang Lin's trading techniques, researching his actual buy and sell points on the Stock Picking Bar before.

Naturally, he also glanced at his avatar.

This glance led to the current situation.

"Look, isn't this best man at Hanhan's singing wedding Brother Lin?!"

As soon as the words "Brother Lin" came out, anyone who traded stocks or had paid attention to this stuff was stunned.

Holy crap?!

Hanhan, Brother Lin, wedding.

Can these three words be used together?

But when they went back to watch the video again, among those slightly youthful faces, wasn't one of them Wang Lin, also known as Brother Lin?!

Instantly.

This video exploded.

"It really is Brother Lin!"

"Looking at this, it should be his roommate getting married, right? If that's the logic, it makes sense. With a word from Brother Lin, wouldn't Hanhan have to come and sing?!"

"Brother Lin is also doing well, being able to invite Hanhan to sing!"

"I'll give you three seconds, quickly add a dog head emoji to save yourself!"

"Holy crap, today is a trading day. Brother Lin is so bold, isn't he even watching the market?"

"What's there to watch? The market has been crazy these past few days, rising every day. I keep selling too early, I'm really fed up!"

.

The news spread extremely fast.

Before Wang Lin even knew it, his phone rang. He looked, and it was his paternal uncle, Wang Lins paternal uncle.

Wang Lin answered, smiling, "Paternal uncle, what brings you to call me?"

Wang Lins paternal uncle was silent for a moment, then said, "Are you being a best man for your roommate?"

Wang Lin's heart skipped a beat. Not again, right?

Wang Lin nodded.

Wang Lins paternal uncle said, "Hmm... if you can do it sooner, you should..."

Fortunately, Wang Lins paternal uncle understood Wang Lin's thoughts. He also understood the feelings caused by family, lineage, and various other matters.

However, Wang Ran also called: "Oh, big brother, you didn't even call me for something as interesting as your roommate's wedding, and there were even performances by many celebrities, that's too amazing!"

Wang Lin was confused, how did everyone know?

He tried asking, "Did someone post a video on the Social Media Platform?"

Wang Ran said speechlessly, "Of course! Look at these celebrities you invited, which one doesn't have tens of millions of fans? Plus your identity, it's already climbed to the top of the Social Media Platform's trending searches!"

At this moment, the person in charge of the company's image department finally reacted.

He asked Wang Lin, "What do you think about this? Should we suppress the trending search?"

Wang Lin shook his head: "No need, my identity isn't something to hide!"

"Moreover, after this bull market ends, I will also step into the spotlight. Beautiful Country has Old Man Buffett, so what if our China produces a Brother Lin?"

This matter.

Even the Wall Street big shots in Beautiful Country had heard about it.

Currently, in the Chinese stock market, the only one they could call a threat was Brother Lin!

This person, when Morgan Ored first entered the A-share market, swiftly and decisively defeated OReid.

Who would believe that he doesn't understand the A-share market, or foreign capital?

If he truly didn't understand, he wouldn't have reached this point.

Goldman Sachs Group.

Many big shots were watching the video in front of them.

But the more they watched, the more shocked they became: "Is this kid really the man who currently controls the Brokerage Firms sector, Internet Finance sector, state-owned enterprise sector, and all the other sector chips we want?"
