There was an uproar as the stock market closed. All kinds of news swept across the internet.
At last, Ryan used his meager capital to leverage the economy.
Although there were other capitals involved, the purposes of investments were to invest and to be invested.
It was all for profit and everything was according to the program's rules.
Ryan made three moves — a 900% superstock that hadn't been seen in 100 years, two close to 20 limit ups, and a 10 times leverage.
The principal was only 10,000 US dollars, but it became more than 6 million of capital.
How many?
600 times.
It was crazy, almost legendary.
Even the stock experts on Wall Street had never earned such a return since they started investing.
Usually, such a high rate of return only existed in long-term stocks.
It wasn't uncommon for unknown small tech companies to become a hit in the tech world in the next few years. The stock price of these companies would climb from an initial couple of bucks to tens of thousands of dollars.
But Ryan's investments were all within 10 to 20 minutes.
His buying and selling were done in such precise timing, especially the limit-on-close. It was simply a stroke of genius.
Even when Professor Smith thought that Ryan should sell, Ryan was calm when he faced the sudden plunge in stocks.
That only meant one thing—Ryan was sure that he'd win those three stocks. He had already predicted the outcome.
Professor Smith noticed it and was even more amazed.
As for the audience in front of the screen, they were more concerned about the amount of money Ryan earned.
Many people now believed that Ryan was eccentric.
Their claims about Ryan being a gambler had disappeared because he had proven himself through action.
If a person won the lottery once, or twice, it would be considered luck. But what if he won all three times?
At that moment, everyone knew that if this matter was publicized, Ryan would definitely make the headline.
And now, the conditions were met.
"Father and Son Swap" was a popular variety show.
It had a base of nearly 100 million viewers, and with Ryan's resignation and participation in the stock market.
During that time, the audience had already exceeded the 120 million mark which didn't even include the number of fans that from Ryan's social media account.
In just a little over an hour, his account had exceeded a million fans.
With such a large amount of network flow, he had earned around 50,000 to 60,000 dollars on his social media account which surpassed many famous internet celebrities.
"I'm Maast from the Vidor Funding Management. I didn't expect to see my teacher, Victoria on camera and I certainly didn't expect to witness Mr. Ryan's brilliant operation. Are you interested in entering the fund industry?"
"F*ck, Maast? Isn't he a student of Professor Smith? That's so awesome."
"Aren't investment managers just vampires? Don't fall for it, kid."
"I've hired Maast to manage my assets before and I've paid the price. You want to recruit Ryan? He doesn't need your money, okay?"
Once Maast showed his face, his head was bitten off.
However, things were different on the other side of the camera.
"Father and Son Swap" was a reality program. Everything was being recorded—sleeping, eating, and even going to the toilet.
This was the whole purpose of the show.
Let the fathers and sons swap lives, understand each other's hardships, and then return to their original life, so that everyone could understand what the other is going through.
Unlike Ryan, Jon's slightly plump figure was sitting in front of a narrow desk. His butt was a little tight, and his back was sore.
Jon was drenched in sweat as he looked at Ryan's scribbled textbook.
The youngsters around Jon were all paying attention to this middle-aged man.
A young female math teacher stood in front of him, which made him even more nervous and a little embarrassed.
He couldn't stand but he was uncomfortable as he sat on the small stool.
He really wanted to stand up and tell the teacher, "Teacher, I really can't solve this problem! It's too difficult."
But he hesitated.
The father and son had swapped places.
Jon had always thought that studying was easy.
If he admitted defeat in front of the program team, would he still be an investment director?
Would he still be the investment director in the company?
But Jon really felt like he was facing a crisis when he looked at that high school math problem.
Due to his financial status, he had sent Ryan to a private school.
In America, public schools focused more on happy learning.
Students could play as they liked, and the teachers would not say a thing.
It could be considered as free-range learning.
When Jon was young, his family was poor, so he went to a public school. Therefore, he thought that going to school was an easy task.
On the other hand, private schools were stricter and applied exam-oriented learning which produced talents to the world.
But Jon did not understand that. As far as he was concerned, the education in private schools was the same as in public schools.
However, when compared, the strictness and discipline in private schools were simply outrageous.
They often consisted of a densely packed schedule—classes and recess were clearly stated.
Every minute of what the students should do and what they shouldn't do was precisely written.
However, Jon wasn't afraid of suffering because who hadn't worked overtime in the working world?
But when classes such as French, English literature, German Math, Gym, horseback riding, archery, and other hobbies piled up, old Jon felt like he was falling apart.
He then realized an important thing—why the hierarchy in America was fixed—why the children of the rich were still the rich, and why the children of the poor were still the poor.
This kind of social class had lasted for hundreds of years.
This was entirely because of the two education systems.
What kind of game was this?
"That isn't right. Why don't I remember learning this kind of math problem when I was in school?"
"Yeah, why don't the students say something? What kind of situation is this? A teacher abusing a student arranged by the program team?"
It was not only Jon who was stunned at the question.
Most of the people watching the live broadcast were also surprised.
"What kind of game is this? Why is the class discipline so good?"
The female teacher on podium was also speechless.
This was because the oldest student in her history of teaching had indicated that she should ask him more questions if she had any.
But why is his face so red after she asked him a question?
"Could it be?"
The female teacher said with a sudden realization, "Jon, do you think that my question was too simple?"
Jon was stunned and did not say anything.
The teacher then erased the question on the blackboard and said, "That was my carelessness. I forgot that you are an elite of society. Such a question is indeed child's play for you."
So the female teacher wrote another math problem on the blackboard.
Jon's face turned pale.
He slowly raised his hand and said, "Ms, I need to go to the toilet."
