Chapter 16: Share market
Adam went to tap the icon of the stock market app once more. He checked his home screen for it. It was absent. To go to the next screen, he swiped.
Nor was it. He browsed through all of his apps. Nowhere could he find it. There was more to this than a glitch. The app was no longer available.
A spark of confusion passed through him. He double-checked. He cautiously and slowly navigated through the list of installed apps. His phone no longer had the stock market app. He visited the app store.
He checked his installed app list. The stock market app was still installed on his device, according to the app store. However, he was unable to locate it. He was unable to open it.
Adam had no idea what was going on. He gave up after a few more minutes of searching. He felt irritated. He made the decision to return to the one app that consistently performed well. He launched the app One-Click Billionaire.
He noticed something new as soon as it opened. The user interface was modified. A new menu bar appeared at the bottom of the screen. An option that resembled a bank icon was located on the left. He gave it a tap.
The screen with his bank information and the "Click here to earn money" button was displayed to him.
The 'Earn' part was that. There was a new button next to that bank icon. There was a basic line graph icon on the button. The type that was used to stand in for stocks. The 'Shares' button was it.
He pressed the recently added "Shares" button. The screen was altered. The One-Click Billionaire app now contained the stock market app he had just downloaded.
They had taken it in. Now it was part of the system.
However, the app had changed. It was altered. It was no longer merely a standard trading app. He was seeing particular stocks on the new interface. It was advising him on which shares to purchase. They were being highlighted in a gentle shade of green.
Additionally, it showed him which shares would increase in the future. It made predictions. projections. The app was more than just a way to make money.
It served as a tool to predict the market's future. Adam was taken aback. His mind struggled to comprehend this new degree of power as he gazed at the screen.
He looked over the new interface. He glanced at a line of text. There was an option to filter at the top of the screen. "Highest Dividend" was written there. Adam was even more taken aback. Despite his lack of knowledge, he was aware that dividends were a type of profit. He gave it a tap.
A fresh screen came up. There was only one company at the top of the list. ABCD Company was its name. A short sentence appeared beneath the name. "The user will receive the highest dividend from this company." Five percent a month.
Adam repeated the words. Five percent a month. He was aware of what a dividend was.
It implied that Adam would receive a portion of the company's profits in exchange for the money he spent on purchasing its stock. It compared to interest. He would receive monthly payments from the company simply for holding its stock.
His eyes glowed.
This was new to him. All he had planned to do was buy and sell stocks. However, this was not like the others. This was a steady income. It was a long-range strategy. He found this to be of great assistance. He had been seeking a legitimate source of income, and this was it.
He made a decision instantly. He would buy this company's shares. He would buy as many as he could. He went back to the 'Earn' section of the app. He looked at his balance. Two and a half million dollars. He decided to invest one million dollars. He went back to the 'Shares' section. He found ABCD Company. He tapped the 'Buy' button. He entered the amount. One million dollars. He confirmed the purchase.
A notification appeared on his screen. It was not a text message from his bank. It was a message from the One-I Click Billionaire app itself.
[Congratulations Adam. You have purchased 40,000 shares of ABCD Company.]
Adam felt a tremendous surge of joy. His smile would not go away. This actually happened. Now he was an investor. He had a stake in a business. He checked his bank account balance.
He was down to just 1.5 million dollars. But compared to when he had 2.5 million, he was happier now. Having a future made him happier. His income was steady.
He would get money each month without doing anything. He mentally calculated it quickly. Fifty thousand dollars was five percent of a million dollars. Each month, he would receive $50,000. The idea was euphoric.
Adam lay on his bed. He felt a deep sense of security he had never known before. He spent the rest of the evening on the One-Click Billionaire app. He was not frantic anymore. He was calm. He just tapped on the screen steadily. He watched the money accumulate. Four dollars at a time.
He kept tapping until he had two million dollars in his account once more. That seemed like a decent number to cap off the day. It was midnight, according to the clock on his phone.
At last, he put down the phone. He was worn out. It was a good exhaustion, though. He had accomplished so much in one day.
He put all of his concerns for tomorrow. The man in the suit did not cross his mind. He did not consider the app's peculiar beginnings.
All he could think about was the $50,000 he would receive each month. He reflected on his new life. He closed his eyes and dozed off without a dream.
