232: The subsequent reaction: I'm afraid of being praised to death?
It is no wonder that Goldman Sachs and other companies were shocked.
A mere young man in his 20s managed to surpass a crowd of business titans to become China's richest man.
This in itself is something very worthy of jealousy.
But looking at these Stock Investors, not a single one of them said anything of the sort.
Their apparent reaction was only pride?
A certain bigwig at Goldman Sachs shook his head speechlessly: "I really don't understand the brains of these Chinese people."
What they didn't expect was that those people were actually proud of it.
But what they didn't know was that when the gap is too large, no one feels jealousy in their hearts.
This matter caused quite a stir.
It was so big that many people who knew Wang Lin came to ask him about it.
Li Yuanyuan and Leng Nuannuan, who had been working in close proximity to Wang Lin.
Upon seeing this news on the Social Media Platform, they were the first to be shocked.
The two turned their heads in unison to stare at Wang Lin, making him feel a bit uncomfortable: "What's going on? Are my pants on backward?"
Leng Nuannuan shook her head with a smile: "Brother Lin, you're going to be famous!!"
Wang Lin: "Who in the stock market doesn't know the name of Brother Lin? Do you even need to say it?"
Li Yuanyuan said with a serious, proud, and beaming face: "Brother Lin, you are going to be famous nationwide! You are the Stock God, you are the richest man!!"
Wang Lin: "???"
What's the situation?
Then the two dragged him to the computer, where the number one trending topic on the Social Media Platform was clearly displayed!!
Honestly, when Wang Lin saw this trending topic, he was dumbfounded.
Damn it?
Which traitor is trying to frame me?
Wang Lin knew exactly how much his own capital volume was.
China's richest man?
On the surface, he had indeed exceeded a valuation of 150 billion, surpassing Old Ma and becoming China's richest man.
But unless one was a seasoned industry insider and had conducted an in-depth investigation, it would be impossible to know these things.
They would only know that they had made a lot of money!!
Wang Lin immediately called the marketing department manager over.
Such a big matter required an urgent response.
Wang Lin did not want to be at the top of the "pig-slaughtering list"!!
When the marketing manager heard this news, he was also dumbfounded.
Damn, Boss is so ruthless, he quietly made it to number one?!
"Boss, what kind of response do you want? Do you want me to ask the Social Media Platform to remove the trending search, or should I continue to build your image?"
Wang Lin: "... Let me think."
Outside the company, the first person was Wang Lin's cousin, Wang Ran. She didn't have anything to do these days; besides day trading, she was just looking for all kinds of fun.
The Social Media Platform was a place she refreshed intensely.
As soon as the trending topic appeared on the Social Media Platform, she clicked on it to take a look.
To be honest, when she first saw it, she couldn't quite believe it.
Her brother was indeed awesome, she knew that, but who could have imagined he was awesome to this extent?
China's richest man?
She didn't even dare to think about it!!
Actually, in her opinion, if her brother was the richest man in Yu Province, or the richest man in their prefecture-level city, that would be enough.
But the various real and logical clues listed above were all telling her that her brother was truly fierce!!
She wasn't shy at all; when she had doubts, she just called him directly.
She started off by saying: "Brother, have you become the richest man!?"
Wang Lin was receiving the first call asking him about this, and he said very patiently: "What richest man? It's just a rumor, but it's true that your brother currently has that much money!!"
There was nothing he couldn't tell his younger sister.
Wang Ran was stunned for a moment, oh, not the richest man. Wait, that's not right. He really has that much money, so how is he not the richest man!!?
Even Old Ma's net worth wasn't as high as Wang Lin's, yet her own brother said he wasn't the richest man?
"Brother, you really are the richest man!!" Wang Ran couldn't control her expression and voice anymore.
Who understands, family, I woke up and my brother became the richest man!!
On the topic of what changes will happen in this world after becoming the sister of the richest man?
Wang Lin was quite calm about this; he had worked hard for a year, was it really that hard to become the richest man?
And it was just China's richest man. In the financial industry, having a perfect record like his and only achieving the status of China's richest man was low-key enough.
Besides, this richest man list is a "pig-slaughtering list." Who knows how many bigwigs in China are hiding their assets because they don't want to be exposed.
He was just thinking earlier whether he should hide this matter.
But thinking about it carefully now, there was actually no need to hide it. At this stage, this thing was definitely more beneficial than harmful to him.
Moreover, these things were what Wang Lin had always wanted to bring out. If it weren't for the needs of his work, which required him to be a bit high-profile, he wouldn't bother with these things at all.
Anyway, Wang Lin's identity would appear on the Forbes list next year regardless. It was just a matter of sooner or later.
But now he didn't know who was pushing this behind the scenes, helping him achieve it early. Otherwise, how could this matter have become a hot trending topic?
In Wang Lin's mind, countless hypotheses appeared in an instant. But now he set them all aside: "So, little sister, just play however you want, do whatever you want, Brother will back you up!"
However, at this moment, Wang Ran was no longer listening to what Wang Lin was saying.
She chuckled: "Got it, got it, Brother, go get busy!"
Wang Lin didn't pay attention to the girl anymore because another call was coming in.
This time it was Sun Jianguo. Wang Lin glanced at Li Yuanyuan beside him.
She had a smile on her face and whispered: "Pick it up, pick it up, let me see how Uncle tries to curry favor with you!!"
Wang Lin rolled his eyes and answered the phone.
For the rest of the time, Wang Lin's phone never stopped ringing.
Even his roommates, who couldn't get through on the phone, left him messages on Green Bubble to ask.
"Brother, did you really become the richest man?"
"Holy crap, can I have the richest man as my best man at my wedding?"
"I didn't waste my time in college; I made a roommate who is the richest man!!"
In the end, Wang Lin could only post on the Social Media Platform: "It seems that, unknowingly, I do indeed have over 100 billion in capital? Everyone can stop asking now!!"
As soon as these words were posted, the entire Social Media Platform exploded. Because Wang Lin had actually earned that much money!!
