Chapter 14: All Victories Record

Stock market investments require time.

Lance and Darren’s bet was that the one with more money in hand after three days would be the winner.

During these three days, Lance was either at home or at the Stock Market Center.

He used the old method of buying or selling at the right time. He could earn money every time, and the amount he earned was not small.

But the second day, Lance deliberately slowed down the purchase of stocks.

He knew that even if he slowed down, Darren still couldn’t win.

In that case, he might as well give Darren face and not let him lose miserably.

In his previous life, Lance had a particularly good understanding of human nature and the ways of the world.

This habit continued into this life.

…

The next two days passed leisurely. At noon on the third day, Lance, Darren, and the employees of the company would gather again in the main hall on the first floor of the company.

The main hall was spacious, not only accommodating them, but also allowing all the employees to witness the final result clearly.

Darren was already there when Lance arrived.

Upon seeing Lance, Darren’s already bright smile became even more radiant.

Darren boasted, “Little Lance, don’t cry too hard after losing miserably later.”

Lance had long expected that Darren would be in this state.

He analyzed the recent stock market trends and knew that with Darren’s ability, he would make money, and it would be a considerable income.

If Darren’s opponent was not him, he might have won.

Except…

Lance smiled at the thought.

If Darren’s opponent was him, then Darren could not win!

And Darren frowned slightly upon seeing Lance’s smile.

Darren said, “Little Lance, have you also made a lot of money?”

This was certainly not his true thought. It was just a symbolic inquiry.

Upon hearing this, Lance responded calmly, “Yes.”

“The current market trend is stable and with Mr. Darren’s ability, he will certainly make money. I just happened to have a stroke of luck and made money as well.”

“Well, then there will be suspense in the final result!”

Lance spoke modestly.

These words not only did not annoy Darren, but they also aroused the curiosity of the onlookers.

As expected, the surrounding employees began to discuss among themselves.

“Lance can analyze the stable stock market trend? He’s amazing!”

“Maybe he has the help of an expert! What does a brat know?”

“What are you thinking? During this time, we installed small cameras for Lance and Mr. Darren to prevent them from cheating. Now, the fact proves that Lance analyzed this alone.”

“The winner of this bet is really uncertain.”

“Don’t be silly. So what if Lance knows these things? He’s not as experienced as Mr. Darren after all.”

“…”

The employees were immediately divided into three groups.

One faction believed that Darren’s experience and shrewdness guaranteed his ultimate victory.

Some people firmly believed that the winner would be Lance, with Theodore as their representative, but they were also a very small minority.

Another group was undecided, and they were unsure of the outcome, so they could only wait anxiously.

After the surroundings became quiet, Darren relaxed his posture, standing with his hands behind his back.

“Lance, you’re still young.”

“Even with talent, it cannot compare to experience.”

After saying this, Darren even squeezed out a kind smile.

He probably thought that he would definitely win, and his attitude towards Lance was exceptionally gentle.

Lance understood his thoughts and did not expose him.

“I’m looking forward to the outcome of the bet.”

…

In order, Darren first presented his results.

“This wave of the market is good,” Darren said proudly while looking for his record.

This made the employees below more firmly believed that Darren would win.

“Yo, over here.”

Darren’s words piqued everyone’s interest.

In the next moment, Darren displayed his record of the past three days in full view of everyone.

Despite some wins and losses, the final result was that Darren earned a total of 47,000!

Turning a capital of 50,000 into almost double the amount in just three days was certainly a good result!

“What’s there to compare? Mr. Darren’s performance in three days is impressive. He truly deserves to be the manager of our company.”

“To be honest, if I were Little Lance, I would definitely admit defeat directly. At least I wouldn’t make a fool of myself.”

“If it were me, I wouldn’t have overestimated myself to compete with Mr. Darren in the first place.”

“Mr. Darren’s words came true. This time, Little Lance will probably cry.”

“Sigh, Mr. Darren has taught Lance a lesson. He probably won’t dare to bet casually anymore.”

“…”

Amidst the various comments, Darren threw his head back.

He was very proud of these praises.

Then Darren looked at Lance with a smile and said, “Little Lance, if your results are really miserable, you can admit defeat directly.”

“Although you lost a million, it’s better than embarrassing myself in public.”

Lance raised his eyebrows.

Did Darren really think he could win with such confidence?

This time, he would teach Darren what it meant to be too narcissistic!

“That won’t be necessary. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Darren.”

“I want to show you the results of my investment!”

Lance responded firmly, showing no signs of fear.

But Darren didn’t notice. He just shook his head. “You’re embarrassing yourself.”

Lance left Darren alone and went straight to the computer.

With a simple operation, he directly displayed the results of the past three days on the big screen.

Darren and the employees who believed Darren had won glanced casually at each other.

They had thought that Lance was just going through the motions.

However, after they glanced at it, they completely dispelled this thought.

In three days, Lance had made profits on all the shares he bought!

The capital of 50,000 became 300,000 through Lance’s operation.

It had increased by six times!

“All of the stocks made profits?! It’s heaven-defying, right?”

“In three days, 50,000 to 300,000. A genius young man, right?”

“Lance is only eight years old. How, how is that possible?”

“Lance probably can’t cheat. This outcome should be completely true. In that case, Lance… is a rare talent! He’s really one in a million!”

“…”

These employees were not the only ones. Even Theodore, who had been prepared, swallowed hard.

So you can earn so much money by calculations!

…

“No, that’s impossible.”

The expression on Darren’s face had long changed from arrogance to shock.

His mouth was agape and he had yet to recover.

Others might not notice, but he could.

Compared to the first day, the frequency at which Lance bought stocks decreased significantly.

Is he… being modest?

If Lance did not cut him some slack, how badly would he lose?

Could he really be the so-called genius youth?

As various thoughts ran through Darren’s head, Lance’s voice brought him back.

“The odds are one to five.”

“I really made a lot of money this time.”

That’s right.

Lance even betted that he himself would win!

The shocked employees almost dropped their jaws.

They had thought Lance was self-confident, but who would have thought…

Lance was really capable!
