It was the last week before the school year ended and also the week, which Ben would fly to Arizona.
Ben had readied everything he needed and also informed his friends of his vacation.
Normally they would have been shocked, but they were beginning to adapt to the extraordinary things he did.
...
He also had a little chat with Eren.
„So you are going to the United States. I have family there, so if you ever need some sort of help just call me." Eren said friendly.
„WHa- Thank you. I will do that. Then see you after the holidays." Ben said still confused about his relationship with Eren.
´He seems to really try to be nice. If he wants to be my friend, I should take him with open arms, right? I said I wanted to make more friends, so I also should act accordingly.
„Oh right. As we have buried the hatchet, why don't we become friends?" Ben said jokingly.
„I don't have anything against that, but you have to know that I will always try to win against you!" Eren said full of motivation and ambition.
„Right? No Problem. A bit of competition never harmed school. Especially in the last school year. Then I wish you nice holidays."
„You too."
With that exchange, Ben ended the last day of school.
After school, Ben watched the chart of DAIMLER AG, he had surveyed the chart intently the last days. Having bought the remaining 4,776,385 stocks in the market with only 234,042,865 Euro in these past months. Again he had bought all stocks in the stock market of a company.
The value had risen very quickly. From 47,20 it had risen in a month to 95,35 and was now at 178,44. The value would sink shortly. If his future knowledge was correct, other self-driving cars would enter the market. Beginning with Toyota, then Tesla would have perfected their car, followed by iCar...
Soon self-driving cars would be common and cheap. Daimler AG would fall back to 70 or 80 Euro per stock as they would still have the reputation of being the first.
Now was the perfect moment to sell the stocks. The bidders have no idea how fast new cars will flow into the market.
Ben set a sell order of all his Daimler AG stocks at a minimum of 178 Euro per stock. He wouldn't have a lot of time to check on his sell order, so he decided to sell them cheaper. It was better to sell everything than having a stock, who probably won't ever fluctuate as much.
The calamity would affect negatively the stock market. Nobody except the gun lobby would profit from it. Generally, people with stocks would lose most of their investment.
Like every time after Ben gave a selling order, he calculated the profit and thought about his future investment.
´The 73 800 stocks costs 3 495 906 Euro. The other 4 776 385 stocks cost 234 042 865 Euro.
If I speculate to sell all my 4 850 185 stocks for 178 I would be paid 863 332 930 Euro.
73 800 * 178 = 13 136 400 €
—>Profit 1: 9 640 494€
4 776 385 * 178 = 850 196 530€
—>Profit 2: 616 153 665 €
Adding Profit 1 and Profit 2 results in 625 794 159 €.
Taking 28% of taxes makes 175 222 364 Euro losses.
I will finish with a profit of 450 571 795 €.
This will be a lot less than when I sold the Neurolink stock. Last time it was around 720 million. How unfortunate. Neurolink was a once in a lifetime chance. If I could only have bought more shares from Daimler AG privately.
But who would believe me that I became a billionaire without fonds and background? Nobody would believe me that I am so lucky to win jackpots in EuroMillions and then multiply my money in the stock market in just a year.
With the 1 273 000 000 I had in my account and the probable profit of 450 571 795 €, I will have exactly…
1 723 571 795 Euro. Wow. So now I am coming near to two billion.
I am also nearing my limit of economic potential. There are only so few possibilities to make a quick win. I still know events that could help me, but I won't be able to do it as fast.
I can naturally invest in companies, but it is inefficient. Should I start building my own companies? But who would manage it? I need somebody I can trust and he also has to be experienced in managing a company.
So basically I won't find anyone. Taking away the experienced, I would be left with only my close friends. I may trust them, but so did all the people, who were backstabbed.
They don't even know what exactly they want to do. How could I persuade them to work for me! So that leaves me with my normal friends. Jonas, Amadeus, Louis... maybe I can count the Parkour group. No, better not. Parkour needs to stay as a sport.
Sports friends shouldn't become an employee. I can't just mix everything.
I am screwed!´
With that mindset, Ben went to bed early. Tomorrow morning, he would have to leave early for the airport.
