THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME
Hype in Sosmed
Zachary's smile developed into a full grin after he placed his phone on the table beside him. He will receive more than five million Norwegian Kroner. He even felt a little dizzy trying to conceptualize a large sum of money. That may be enough to last a lifetime if she is forced to live a modest life in DR Congo. With that kind of money, he could even set up a large building in Lubumbashi and live off his rent for the rest of his days.
But he first pushed his excitement to his mind, deciding to work opening a Twitter account before thinking of anything else. She didn't want Emily to keep bothering her about the matter. So, without further ado, he got up from his seat and walked across the room to pick up his new laptop from a nearby closet.
He had just bought a computer a week ago so he could easily search for information on the internet at his own convenience. Since he was going to obtain a large sum of money, he wanted to use his knowledge from his past life to acquire more assets and make himself rich in the process. He had learned the hard way during his previous life not to put all his legs in one basket. He wants to remain independent throughout his life, even in the unlikely case that he gets a challenge in his career and loses the system.
Zachary had been thinking about investing for quite a while and found some ways to make a lot of money. First, he decided not to touch anything related to gambling.
As a professional footballer, the eyes of the press will be on him at almost any time. So, if he invested in a bet and constantly won a lot of money, someone would eventually realize the abnormality. It would attract unwanted attention, which he did not want to himself. In addition, the press can mark him as someone involved in match-fixing if his winnings become too unreasonable.
With all that in mind, he decided to invest in a company that would go public or sell stocks. Although he was not so keen on IPOs and stocks during his previous life, he still had little knowledge of the well-known company that went public between 2008 and 2014. It was thanks to one of the novel's web group chats that he 'd joined in his previous life. Zachary remembers one person in the chat who listed all the companies he would invest in if he got a chance to go back in time.
From the chat, Zachary got information about well-known companies such as Twitter and Tesla Motors, whose shares were listed at low prices during 2013. For example, Twitter will IPO later that year. It will perform well for several years and cause a sensation due to its success. But then, its per-share price will drop below its IPO price in 2015, disappointing most of its investors. So, he planned to buy Twitter shares and then sell them the following year. On the other hand, he was well aware that the price per share of the Tesla Motors company would skyrocket over the next twelve years. So, he intends to invest most of his money in the company before other investors begin to realize its potential.
"Let's start by opening this Twitter account" murmured Zachary, sitting back on the couch and opening his laptop. He then quickly booted it up and connected it to the internet before making the move of registering a Twitter handle once again.
With the verification code sent by Twitter, he managed to open an account without hurrying back then. He managed to fill in all the necessary information in one minute. He then took a selfie and posted it as his profile photo to complete the registration. He eventually opened his first social media account in both of his lives. He really hoped it was worth all the trouble.
Zachary was about to close his laptop and go back to watching TV but then stopped suddenly. From the corner of his eye, he saw a lot of activity going on with his account. Notifications filled his screen with the speed of bullets coming out of the muzzle of a machine gun. A little curious, Zachary leaned forward and clicked on the notification tab to see what was going on.

Over the next two minutes, Zachary watched with his mouth agape as notifications flooded his computer screen. In a short period of time, his followers had risen to over a hundred. Inevitably she wondered if Emily had posted an announcement somewhere that she would open an account that morning. Otherwise, he could not find a reasonable explanation as to why he was gaining followers and receiving messages at an abnormal speed. But Zachary decides to open Emily's message first before thinking about anything else. So, he directly clicked on the message tab before opening it to see its contents.
