Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 20 Compensation for Emotional Distress and Psychological Counseling Fees

At noon, Shen An'an treated Lin Lang to a meal.

During the meal, Shen An'an asked, "Lin Lang, when will I become famous?"

Lin Lang took a deep breath. "Ms. Shen, you've asked this more than a dozen times in the past hour! I said from the beginning that finance is a niche field, and the traffic won't be that high... If you don't believe me, you can take a look. Your video has already received more than 600 likes and more than 10,000 views, which is already considered very good data in the entire finance sector."

"But don't you have any other way to help me gain followers quickly? What are your operational strategies?"

"Want zombie followers? No problem, 100,000 zombie followers aren't much money. But once you get zombie followers, this account is useless, and it'll be hard to manage likes and comments. Anyone can tell there's something wrong with your follower count. If you want them, I can arrange it for you right away."

"Oh, never mind then, I don't want it."

Having fake followers is even more shameful.

Lin Lang is under a lot of pressure, and Shen An'an's money isn't so easy to earn either.

Seeing that Shen An'an wasn't very interested, Lin Lang felt that after a few episodes, Shen An'an would lose interest in this matter.

This is not okay!
Shen An'an is definitely not a good business partner, but she is definitely a good financier.

After the meal, Lin Lang asked, "Miss Shen, do you have a US dollar account?"

"Oh? You have a Hong Kong account."

"That's good. How much money is inside?"

Hong Kong dollars are essentially vouchers for US dollars, and there are no restrictions on settlement.

You can also open a US dollar account in China, but... there's only a limit of $50,000 per year.

"This...this...it seems...I'm not quite sure, let me check..."

Shen An'an quickly took out her phone and opened the relevant app to check her account status.

This account was set up for her by her family when she went to Hong Kong during her university years.

Soon, Shen An'an said, "There's still about 300,000 Hong Kong dollars left... but I can find someone to get the money. How much do I need?"

"Here's the thing, our financial advisor feels they made a mistake in their judgment today, causing you a loss, and they feel very sorry about it. They'd like to introduce you to other financial products. It would be best if you could raise $500,000, but if you can't, that's okay too, HKD 300,000 will be enough..."

After two days of getting to know Shen An'an, Lin Lang had come to understand her personality, which is why he said such a thing.

If it were someone else, they would definitely treat him as a fraudster immediately.

Upon hearing this, Shen An'an immediately said, "Is three hundred thousand US dollars enough? How about one million US dollars? I'll make a call right now!"

Lin Lang: "..."

……

"Dad, I want a million dollars..."

"Then where did the money in my Hong Kong account come from?"

"Oh……"

……

"Waaaaah, my dearest aunt, could you lend me some money? It's not much, just a million dollars..."

"Okay, okay, I'll come visit you guys in a while!"

"Thank you, Auntie, you're so kind, mua^"

……

"All done! It'll be turned around right away. What's next?"

Shen An'an couldn't wait any longer.

Lin Lang asked, "Aren't you afraid of losing money again?"

"I'm scared. If we lose money again today, we won't have a chance to be friends in the future."

Shen An'an looked at Lin Lang, her clear eyes revealing a touch of innocence, yet also an extraordinary seriousness.

Lin Lang said, "Then the price you paid for finding friends was quite high."

"Of course, becoming my friend isn't easy. You'd better work hard. You can't let me lose money again today, or you'll definitely regret it later..."

"Ah."

Lin Lang gave a perfunctory reply.

What kind of bullshit friends are these? In this world, only interests are eternal; everything else is nonsense.

Especially after adulthood, it's impossible to have a heart-to-heart talk; it's more like a sexual relationship.

Shen An'an's figure is truly exceptional; such a rare find.

"Give me your phone, I want to download an app..." "Okay, okay... What do you want to download?"

Binance.

Lin Lang needed to immerse Shen An'an in the role of a stock market guru so that she could continue to express her emotions and the videos she filmed would appear more authentic.

However, she can't make money in the A-share market; she has to lose money.

In order to maintain her image as a stock market guru, she needs to make money elsewhere, and then... it will be easier for her to project that image onto the stock market.

Bitcoin, currently priced at nearly $8,000, could drop to around $4,000 by the end of the year. That's a direct halving of the price.

After registering the account, Lin Lang had Shen An'an transfer funds, and then he immediately started trading Bitcoin contracts.

Buy a 10x short selling contract.

One million dollars, holding contracts worth ten million dollars.

This is equivalent to borrowing ten million dollars worth of Bitcoin from someone with a current leverage of eight thousand dollars and selling it on the market.

By the end of the year, when the price of Bitcoin is around four thousand, you can buy Bitcoin repayment contracts and profit from the price difference.

Contract trading is more convenient and faster than Bitcoin spot trading; basically, you just need to collect the money when the time comes.

Everything went smoothly, and I closed the position at around $4,000 by the end of the year, making a total profit of about $4 million.

Lin Lang could earn this money himself, but he didn't have the capital.

Don't let Shen An'an's seemingly naive appearance fool you; the money is in her own account, and she probably won't care if it's lost through her own account.

Lending it to someone else? That's a completely different matter; she's not that naive.

"I've bought it, hold on and don't touch it... By the way, trading Bitcoin is illegal, and don't tell anyone..."

"Huh? Is it illegal? If it's illegal, then I won't do it!" Shen An'an was startled.

"It's not illegal!"

"Oh……"

Shen An'an picked up the phone and glanced at it.

Bitcoin's price fluctuates significantly, with daily swings of seven or eight points, and occasionally even ten or twenty points.

Wow, you made money so quickly? More than ten thousand dollars?

"Lin Lang, you're amazing!"

"I am the stock market god!"

……

"Why is it that when I make the same video as Lin Lang, I get no data? It's been half a day and I've only received a little over 300..."

"Why is Yun Yiyi so popular?"

"I can't wait any longer, I'm going to post a hand gesture dance video too!"

……

8 month 18 number.

Half past nine in the morning.

"Ahhh, Lin Lang, Tianshui Duck Industry's stock price has hit the daily limit down again! What should we do? What should we do?" Shen An'an had just woken up and couldn't wait to send a message to Lin Lang.

"It was just a stock selection mistake. I sold my shares as soon as Tianshui Duck Industry opened for trading a few days later and then chose other stocks."

"Can I delete the videos from the past few days and start from the beginning?"

"Do you still want to be famous? It's normal for a stock market guru to experience some setbacks at the beginning. What you're going through now will become an unparalleled glory when you reach the top!"

"Oh……"

"You are strongest when you dare to face your mistakes!"

"But this wasn't my mistake..."

Lin Lang: "..."

So you're a stock market guru, but you're not the same person when you lose money?
Keep track of your expenses!

Each video costs an additional 10,000 yuan, of which 5,000 yuan is for my emotional distress and the other 5,000 yuan is for my psychological counseling.

He immediately replied, "Look, isn't Bitcoin profitable? You've made over ten thousand dollars today, right? Trust our financial advisors, they can definitely train you to become a stock market guru! You gained over five hundred followers yesterday, keep it up today... The more followers you have, the more witnesses you'll see..."
