    Reader note

    I stayed up three nights in a row to finish reading it. First, what's the book about? The protagonist, Shen Xing, is reborn in 1999 with only 347 yuan in his pocket. Others reborn: buy Bitcoin, buy houses, become the son of a billionaire. He's different; he writes in his basement, waiting for opportunities. He waits for the dot-com bubble to burst to short Nasdaq. He waits for the A-share market to reach 998 points to buy at the bottom. He waits for the mobile internet boom to launch Xingxin (a messaging app), payment services, mobile phones, and chips. Starting with 347 yuan, in 17 years, his net worth reached 200 billion yuan. It wasn't cheating; it was waiting and holding on. Second, the five most satisfying moments: Satisfaction 1: Escaping the 5178-point peak. Before the 2015 stock market crash, everyone was greedy. Shen Xing said, "Sell everything." He withdrew all 100 billion yuan. Three days later, thousands of stocks hit their daily limit down. Someone asked him how he knew, and he said, "I didn't see it; I saw it before. It was the same in 2007." I read this chapter five times. Highlight 2: Samsung rejected him three times, then he begged for cooperation on his knees. Xiao Zhao went to Samsung to discuss screen cooperation. The first time, he waited for 3 hours, "We don't sell to small customers." The second time, he waited for 4 hours, "Come back another day." The third time, they wouldn't even let him in the door. Shen Xing slammed his fist on the table: "Samsung will regret it. Not today, not tomorrow, but soon." Later, Lee Boo-jin appeared, and Samsung offered itself up. It was incredibly satisfying. Highlight 3: Wandou surpasses 360. Wandou went from obscurity to industry leader in two years. Chen Sisi placed the report on Shen Xing's desk and said, "We're number one." Shen Xing looked at it for a long time and only said one word: "Good." But Chen Sisi knew that this one word contained his complete approval. It wasn't that Wandou was powerful, it was that Shen Xing was powerful. Convenience is the moat. Highlight 4: Black Myth invests. Shen Xing invested in Game Science, looked at the demo for ten minutes, and said, "Make it. If you don't have enough money, invest more; if you don't have enough time, wait. A good game is worth waiting for." Feng Ji's hands were shaking. Later, an additional investment of 50 million was made, bringing the total to 70 million. No rushing, no mention of being in a hurry, just saying "I can wait." That's a true investor. Highlight 5: The Starting Point of 347 Yuan. In 1999, in a basement, his first royalties were 347 yuan. He bought a box of instant noodles, a stack of paper, a few pens, and saved the rest. At that time, he didn't know that this 347 yuan was the starting point for 200 billion. My eyes welled up with tears at this point. III. Character Portrayal: Not Just the Protagonist. Niu Shenxing: Never in a hurry, always saying "wait." Three online identities (Old Chen, Black Mage, Chen Nunu), and a hidden identity, Hunter, who wrote a song for Taylor Swift. Su Wanqing: Editor-in-Chief of Xingxin, waiting for him for 16 years. Every time he said "overtime," she would say, "The dumplings are in the pot." Not sentimental, but the most tear-jerking. Lee Boo-jin: Samsung's eldest princess. "You are the first Chinese person I admire." She helped him push for cooperation, and he said, "No matter what happens, I'll be there." An evenly matched competition between adults. Zhang Weijun: The investment manager who followed Shen Xing for 16 years. Every time Shen Xing said "clear out the positions," he did it, his hands trembling but he never asked why. Xiao Zhao: The marketing manager, rejected by Samsung three times, but gritted his teeth and endured it. Later, when signing the contract, the executive who had rejected him lowered his head and dared not look at him. Feng Ji: The founder of Game Science, who worked on Black Myth for three years without making a penny. Shen Xing invested 70 million, only saying, "Don't rush, don't cut corners, don't settle." IV. How is this book different from other business war novels? Difference 1: It has a real timeline from 1999 to 2016, and every investment point is real history. The internet bubble, 998 points, 6124 points, 1664 points, 5178 points, circuit breakers, the Hong Kong defense battle. It's not made up, it actually happened. Difference 2: It's not mindless wish fulfillment. Shen Xing is not omniscient. He will also be rejected, wait a long time, and slam his fist on the table in anger. But he has one skill—waiting. Wait for the dot-com bubble to burst, wait for the A-shares market to bottom out, wait for Samsung to regret its decision. When that happens, you've won. Difference 3: It details the phone launch event, not the specs, but the story of a user buying a phone for their father. It describes the product design, mentioning adding two millimeters to the rounded bezel, finer sandblasting, and a more substantial packaging box. You can tell the author truly understands. Difference 4: Packed with memorable quotes: "Waiting is the best investment." "Enough. But not enough." "Convenience is the moat." "Users aren't stupid; they'll use what's best." "You can't be afraid of others taking your own products." "Not a god, just an ordinary person. An ordinary person who waited a little longer than others." I copied the whole book. V. Who is it suitable for? ✅ Want to make money but don't know where to start ✅ Enjoy reading about business battles, investment, and underdog stories ✅ Tired of mindless wish-fulfillment stories and want something more intellectually stimulating ✅ Interested in the internet, mobile phone, and chip industries ✅ Like to copy down memorable quotes and post screenshots on social media ❌ Those who don't like business content might not get it ❌ Not suitable for those who only want to read about romance (there is a romance storyline, but it's not the main plot) VI. My 3 favorite moments 1. Shen Xing slams his fist on the table: A person who has never lost his temper in 16 years slammed his fist on the table and said, "Samsung will regret this." I got goosebumps at that moment. 2. Su Wanqing's glutinous rice balls: Every time Shen Xing works overtime, she cooks glutinous rice balls. She doesn't say "I miss you," or "Come back soon," she just says, "The glutinous rice balls are in the pot." This kind of restrained emotion is a hundred times more touching than a loud outburst. 3. Chapter 600 ending: "Outside the window, the first moon of 2017 hung in the sky, very bright. It was the New Year's moon, the awake moon, the moon waiting for him to come home. And he, was still awake." I put the book down after reading this and took a while to recover. VII. Where to read it? How many words? Currently 327,000 words, updated daily. The first part, chapter 600, is complete; the second part is in progress. Search for "The Awakening Stone" to find it. Finally, one last thing: this book isn't the kind of light novel you'll forget after reading. After reading it, you'll remember "waiting is the best investment," you'll remember "enough but not enough," you'll remember that bowl of glutinous rice balls. Anyway, I remembered it. ---
