Dong Xuebin was completely stunned by its stock price, freezing for over a second.

BACK BACK BACK

... The Power of Time and Wealth 30

His vision blurred.

"Back to work." Chang Juan closed the makeup bag she had just used to touch up her makeup.

"It's one o'clock. I'm going to print something." Tan Limei walked away from behind Dong Xuebin and headed for the copier.

Time returned to the opening of the afternoon session.

Dong Xuebin took a deep breath. Not daring to waste even a moment, he quickly opened the market quotes and watched Changhong cwb1's stock price. On the screen, Changhong cwb1 was still at 0.002 yuan. There were more sell orders than buy orders, with several million shares weighing it down. There wasn't the slightest sign of a rise.

He made it.

He made it.

Dong Xuebin hurriedly opened the trading software and logged in, overjoyed. A few days ago, he definitely wouldn't have remembered his account number or password—after all, he hadn't touched stocks in years. But because he had been picking stocks for Zhou Changchun lately, he had memorized them again. Tap tap tap tap—the trading system quickly connected. Looking at his balance, his available funds were displayed as 2.35 yuan, practically nothing.

When Dong Xuebin had opened his third-party account with Mom, he had used this very ICBC Bank Card. All his savings and salary were in it, a total of two thousand yuan. Tap tap—he clicked transfer. Two seconds later, the two-thousand-yuan balance had been transferred from his bank card into his stock account.

He could buy shares now.

Without even thinking, Dong Xuebin immediately entered the maximum number of shares that two thousand yuan could buy. Once he was done, he pressed the confirmation button hard with trembling fingers, his heart full of excitement. Looking back at the screen, an order at 0.002 yuan was instantly filled. Judging from the volume, it was definitely his two-thousand-yuan order. Yes, two thousand might not sound like much, but Changhong's price was so low that two thousand yuan could buy an almost astronomical number of shares—a very, very large order.

Filled.

He made it.

He let out a long breath, feeling as though his heart had never pounded as wildly as it did today.

Come on, rise, rise!

Suddenly, as if it had heard Dong Xuebin's call, Changhong cwb1's market board jolted. A massive buy order of more than five million shares crashed down, swallowing every sell order at 0.003 yuan in one bite. Right afterward, buy orders worth millions and tens of millions of shares were filled one after another. The price had already gone from 0.002 to 0.004, and there was no sign whatsoever of the upward momentum slowing.

Dong Xuebin clenched his fists and stared unblinkingly at the screen, breathing rapidly.

0.004...

0.007... The Power of Time and Wealth 30

0.011...

Changhong cwb1 shot upward as if it had ridden a rocket.

Dong Xuebin was beside himself with excitement, but he quickly came back to his senses. He knew it was not time to celebrate yet, so he frantically opened the trading system again, pulled up the sell-order form, and entered a selling price. He had no idea how high Changhong cwb1 would climb, but one minute ago, Changhong Warrant had clearly been priced at exactly 0.020 yuan. To be safe, setting it at 0.020 yuan would guarantee a sale. He couldn't be too greedy.

0.015...

0.017...

0.020...

Dong Xuebin slapped his thigh. "It sold!"

0.021...

0.022...

Changhong cwb1's stock price paused at 0.022 yuan for a moment. Then several huge sell orders came crashing down like a flood. The trading volume was unprecedented, and the decline was even faster than the rise had been.

0.019...

0.017...

0.013...

0.009...

0.007...

0.005...

The stock price fell back down again.

Dong Xuebin wiped the sweat from his forehead, his nerves still on edge, not knowing how he felt at that moment. Changhong cwb1 was the last warrant in both markets, and today was its final day of trading. He had thought there would be no way to use BACK for swing trading, but who would have expected him to seize this final opportunity and make a killing?

"Little Dong, what's wrong?" Lao Yan was getting water from the dispenser. Seeing Dong Xuebin drenched in sweat, he couldn't help asking.

Tan Limei and Chang Juan reflexively looked toward Dong Xuebin as well.

Dong Xuebin gave an "Ah" and immediately minimized the stock software. "Nothing, nothing. It's just a little hot." Zhou Changchun could openly trade stocks at the office without anyone gossiping, but Dong Xuebin couldn't. He had to watch his words and actions in every respect, lest he bring trouble upon himself.

Just then, Zhou Changchun suddenly returned to the General Office from outside. As soon as he entered, he said, "Little Dong, come here." The Power of Time and Wealth 30

Dong Xuebin had no time to look at his stocks again and followed his superior into the small office.

Sure enough, Zhou Changchun had called him over to ask him to pick another stock. "Da Qin Railway didn't open well today, but fortunately I didn't buy much. Mm, take another look and see which stock is good?"

Dong Xuebin, however, kept his guard up. If whatever he watched kept rising, Zhou Changchun would inevitably grow suspicious. Besides, this couldn't go on forever. Once or twice was fine, but his daily BACK might have other uses. He couldn't waste it all on the stock market for Zhou Changchun. So he said, "Director Zhou, the market situation has been unclear lately. I can't judge ultra-short-term moves anymore either. How about we wait a few days?"

Zhou Changchun looked at him. "Didn't you analyze things quite well over the last two trading days?"

Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly. "But I didn't end up making you money, either. The overall market just wasn't strong enough. Did you look at today's board? There are basically no stocks going up. There's no way to trade."

Thinking it over, Zhou Changchun found that reasonable. Hainan Rubber and Da Qin Railway had both let him narrowly make a little money, but if he hadn't sold quickly, he might have gotten trapped instead. "All right. I think once the market adjusts for a month or two, it should push toward 3,000 points. Mm, we'll buy then."

Back at his desk.

Dong Xuebin quietly opened the minimized trading software and impatiently checked his balance.

After deducting stamp duty and other fees, his remaining funds had actually reached twenty thousand yuan.

Two thousand yuan had multiplied tenfold in an instant. That was even more than six or seven limit-up days!

Twenty thousand. Twenty thousand. Twenty thousand.

Dong Xuebin was filled with overwhelming happiness. It might not mean much to other families, but for Dong Xuebin's family, twenty thousand yuan was a huge sum.

From now on, he would no longer hesitate to call Mom long-distance just because he had no money. From now on, he would no longer hesitate to eat beef and lamb just because he had no money. From now on...

As he thought about it, Dong Xuebin's eyes grew a little moist. Four years. He and Mom had truly been poor for far, far too long.
