Chapter 1: Rebirth in 2005, Awakening of the Future Stock God (Continued)Luo Chen's lips curved into a cold yet confident smile.
"600519, Kweichow Moutai."
In this timeline, its price was barely 30 yuan per share. But Luo Chen knew—in less than two decades, it would soar past 2,000 yuan, becoming the undisputed "King of Stocks" in China.
For him, this was no longer a gamble. It was an inevitable certainty.
"Since you've given me the chance to return, I'll start by crushing the market with the most legendary bull run in history."
He opened the system's "Future K-Line Preview". Instantly, a candlestick chart appeared before his eyes, displaying the next 10 years of Moutai's stock performance in excruciating detail.
Every surge, every pullback, even the exact dates of dividends and splits — crystal clear.
[Expected Return: 6500% over 10 years]
"Let's make it happen."
But first, he needed capital.
Luo Chen glanced around his small, shabby rental apartment. His entire net worth was probably less than 10,000 yuan. For ordinary people, this was barely enough for tuition and living expenses.
For him, it was the seed of an empire.

"Consider this your starting chips, Luo Chen. Show the world what a true Stock God can do."
With the system's assistance, he instantly received a 100,000 yuan virtual balance, ready to be injected into his brokerage account.
"Let's start small. Moutai will be my first pawn. But my goal… is global financial dominance."
The First Shot: Moutai Operation
The next morning, Luo Chen sat in a quiet internet café. The old CRT monitor hummed as he logged into his trading account.
600519 — Buy.
He didn't hesitate.
Full position. 100,000 yuan.
In an era where most people chased speculative small-cap stocks, no one noticed this slow, boring liquor company from Guizhou.
But Luo Chen's fingers had already pulled the trigger of destiny.
[System Notification: Position Established — Kweichow Moutai 30.12 yuan/share, Holding: 3,320 shares]
"Now, we wait."
The market would soon realize what Luo Chen already knew.
Financial Predator Awakens
In the following days, while his classmates
worried about exams and internships, Luo Chen spent every night studying the future trajectories of key stocks.
Banks, energy giants, internet companies… Every future blue-chip was like an open book to him.
But more importantly, the system provided "Capital Flow Insights", revealing the invisible hands manipulating the market.
He saw it all:
Foreign hedge funds preparing to short Chinese stocks.
Domestic financial families colluding to suppress retail investors.
Hidden signals of the:
2008 Global Financial Crisis.
"This time, I'll be the one playing the strings. And Wall Street? You'll bow before me."
The first to feel his presence would be those who thought China's market was their playground.
First Mission Complete
One month later, Kweichow Moutai's stock price quietly rose from 30 yuan to 60 yuan.
While others were still blind to its potential, Luo Chen's assets had already doubled.

[Reward: Capital Pool Expansion +1]
[New Capital Received: 1,000,000 yuan]
A million yuan.
For a university student in 2005, this was a number beyond imagination.
But for Luo Chen, it was just the first drop in a coming tsunami.
"The game has begun."
New Funds, New Battlefield
With 1 million yuan now in hand, Luo Chen's financial war chest had leveled up.
For ordinary people, this would be enough to live comfortably for a lifetime.
For Luo Chen, it was merely ammunition for the next battle.
"With this small capital, I'll ignite the fuse that shakes Wall Street itself."
He opened the Future Capital Flow module of the system.
A complex web of data unraveled before him:
Institutional buy-ins
Foreign capital movements
Government policy drafts
Even insider trading signals
Among this ocean of information, a red warning signal flashed.
[Warning: Global Short Position on Chinese Steel Sector Initiated]
[Expected Impact: Domestic steel stocks plummet within 3 months]
"Hmph, testing the waters with steel first? Typical Wall Street arrogance."
Foreign hedge funds had begun their usual trick:
Shorting Chinese industries
Spreading rumors
Suppressing local companies
All to reap billions while crippling competitors.
But this time, Luo Chen was watching.
"Let's give you a surprise."
The Steel Counterattack Plan
Luo Chen's mind worked like a supercomputer.
"If foreign funds are shorting steel, they'll need domestic allies to assist in spreading fear."
"But if I can create an artificial demand surge in key steel enterprises, I can trigger a short squeeze."
In other words, force the short-sellers to buy back at higher prices — bleeding them dry.
Target Identified: Baosteel (600019)
With its strong fundamentals and state
support, Baosteel was the perfect candidate.
Luo Chen quietly moved 500,000 yuan into Baosteel's shares, using obscure brokerage accounts to avoid attention.
[Position Established: Baosteel - 500,000 yuan]
At the same time, he executed the second part of his plan:
Mobilizing the remaining funds into options and warrants tied to steel sector indexes.
Leveraging his knowledge of upcoming government infrastructure policies that
would boost steel demand.
Butterfly Effect: The Financial Underground Shakes
In Shanghai's elite financial circles, ripples had begun.
"Who's buying Baosteel in such large volumes these days?"
"There's no public news. Could it be insider trading?"
But no matter how much they investigated, no one could trace Luo Chen's hidden hand.
He was a ghost — an invisible predator among the sharks.
Within two weeks, Baosteel's price saw an unexpected 15% rise.
For Wall Street's short-sellers, this was the first crack in their plan.
"What the hell is going on with the Shanghai steel market? Liquidate some shorts, now!"
But it was already too late.
Thanks to Luo Chen's precise timing, Beijing announced a major railway expansion project, sending steel demand soaring.
Panic-buying ensued.
Baosteel's stock rocketed up another 25% in a single week.
Wall Street's positions began hemorrhaging billions.
The First Kill

[Unlocked: Market Manipulation Module - Limited Use]
Ten million yuan.
Luo Chen's war chest had expanded tenfold.
And now, he had a new weapon — the Market Manipulation Module — allowing him to exert limited influence on short-term price movements.
"Now the real fun begins."
A Name That Will Shake The World
That night, within a private financial forum known as "Dragon List", an anonymous ID appeared for the first time.
[ID: DarkDragon]
[Post Title: The First Rule of Capital - Never Underestimate China's Market]
The post exposed, with surgical precision, the entire short-selling strategy used by foreign funds.
It analyzed capital flows, predicted the counterattack, and even gave exact buy-in
points for domestic investors to exploit the rebound.
Within hours, the post went viral among financial circles.
"Who is this DarkDragon?"
"This level of insight… could he be an insider from a national fund?"
No one knew that behind this ID was Luo Chen, the reborn Stock God.
