Reborn in 2000: I Strike Gold on the New York Stock Exchange

Reborn in 2000, Zhang Qian has a ton of gold at the New York Stock Exchange. Even more absurdly, his missions are paid in gold, and he has only ten missions in total. The first mission: marry Lin Yiran. He was bewildered. Who was Lin Yiran? He was a student with a talent for sports, and even that talent was pretty average: basketball. He was tall and skinny, and the only thing he considered exceptional about himself was the length of his legs. He made some discreet inquiries about Lin Yiran. She was a top student in the advanced class and the principal's only daughter. She was especially unattractive, though he later discovered that her looks were just a matter of poor styling. She was fiercely spirited, the sort who would smash the glass in the principal's office at the drop of a hat. Her father was just an ordinary principal in a small town, and her parents were farmers. Zhang Qian's idea of discreet inquiries involved stealing the principal's coal briquettes, slipping threatening notes under his door, and swiping ten yuan from his dad for the bride price. On the bright side, his basketball skills suddenly took off. He hand-built an MP3 player, uploaded songs to MP3.COM overseas, learned to play guitar, threw bricks in alley fights, opened a stereo shop, made a name for himself on BBS forums, and sold songs. He bought property, got into programming, and acquired the Jiutian Music website. He also bought a stake in QQ... These were all System missions. By 2029, news broke that a mysterious man had tons of gold at the New York Stock Exchange. By then, he had already risen behind the world's most secretive billionaires. He had taken control of the wealth of the entire world.
