I'm The King of Business & Technology in the Modern World-Chapter 65: A Glimpse in the Future

The city skyline of Bonifacio Global City stretched out beneath Matthew's office windows, the bustling streets now quiet under the glow of streetlights. He had returned to his headquarters alone, declining dinner invitations and even Lisa's offer to debrief him on the media fallout.

Instead, he locked himself in his office, shutting out the world.

Sitting at his massive desk, Matthew reached into the inner pocket of his coat and pulled out the USB drive.

He plugged it into his laptop.

The screen blinked once. Then, the custom-coded software booted up, displaying an extensive archive of historical stock prices, economic trends, and global financial shifts.

Matthew cracked his knuckles and leaned forward, typing quickly.

SEARCH QUERY: STOCK MARKET HISTORY (2019 - 2025)

The program instantly generated a detailed list of stocks, tracking their growth trajectories, major dips, and surges.

He scrolled through, scanning for companies that had experienced extreme growth in the coming years.

The 2020 Pandemic: COVID-19

Matthew's eyes narrowed as he read through the financial impact of the pandemic that would begin in early 2020.

Key Events:

January 2020: COVID-19 cases begin emerging worldwide.

March 2020: Global stock market crash. S&P 500 drops by 35% in a month.

Mid-2020: Tech and pharmaceutical stocks rebound dramatically.

2021: Bitcoin and Tesla reach record highs.

"There would be a pandemic within months?" Matthew muttered, his voice barely above a whisper. His eyes remained fixed on the glowing screen, scanning the information before him. COVID-19. A virus that would begin as a few scattered cases in early 2020 before exploding into a global catastrophe.

His heart pounded as he read through the historical records. Borders would close. Markets would crash. Entire industries would collapse under the weight of the pandemic. The world would panic. Governments would scramble for solutions. And amidst the chaos, those who understood what was coming would have the power to shift the tides.

Matthew exhaled sharply, leaning back in his chair. His office was silent, save for the faint hum of the city outside. If this information was accurate—and he had no reason to doubt it—he was sitting on the most valuable knowledge in the world.

And it wasn't just about surviving the pandemic. It was about controlling its impact.

His mind raced. Pharmaceutical stocks would skyrocket. Moderna and Pfizer, once just another set of biotech companies, would become the cornerstone of the world's fight against COVID-19. Bitcoin would surge. Tesla would become one of the most valuable companies on the planet. And those who saw the crash coming would make billions by betting against the market before it fell.

He leaned forward, fingers flying over the keyboard as he refined his search.

SEARCH QUERY: INDUSTRY IMPACT ANALYSIS – GLOBAL PANDEMIC (2020-2021)

The screen filled with charts, financial trends, and corporate earnings reports from the future.

Industries that will suffer massive losses:

Airlines – Near-total collapse. Stocks plummet as travel restrictions are enforced worldwide.

Cruise Lines – Devastated. Some companies would never recover.

Hospitality & Hotels – Crippled for over a year due to lockdowns and border closures.

Brick-and-Mortar Retail – Widespread bankruptcies as consumers move entirely to e-commerce.

Industries that will boom:

E-commerce & Logistics – Amazon, Shopify, and delivery services surge as online shopping becomes dominant.

Pharmaceuticals – Vaccine producers and medical suppliers will see record-breaking profits.

Remote Work Technology – Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and cloud-based services explode in demand.

Cryptocurrency – Bitcoin hits record highs as investors seek alternatives to traditional assets.

Matthew's grip tightened on the edge of his desk. This was it. This was the golden play.

He had already secured billions through Sentinel Systems. But this? This was generational wealth.

He reached for his phone and quickly dialed Daniel Reyes.

The line rang twice before a groggy voice answered.

"Matthew… it's almost one in the morning. This better be important."

Matthew's lips curled slightly. "It is."

There was a pause before Daniel sighed.

"Alright. What's going on?"

Matthew didn't hesitate. "We're going all-in on market shorts. Airlines, cruise lines, hospitality, and oil. Everything that will crash in the next six months."

"…What?"

"Just trust me, Daniel. I want a list of hedge funds that specialize in shorting the market. Find out which ones will take massive positions before March 2020. We'll invest through them, let them do the heavy lifting."

There was a long pause before Daniel finally responded, his voice now fully awake. "You're betting against the global economy? Do you even realize the risk here?"

Matthew's expression didn't waver. "There's no risk. I already know what's going to happen."

Another silence. Then, finally, Daniel let out a slow exhale. "Alright. I'll get you a report by noon tomorrow. But you better explain this in detail later."

Matthew smirked. "You have my word."

He ended the call and immediately opened a secured spreadsheet.

Step One: Short the Market.

Target: Airlines, Cruise Lines, Hospitality, and Oil.

Invest $500 million across strategic hedge funds specializing in market downturns.

Timeline: Sell-off begins in February 2020, crash peaks by March-April 2020.

Step Two: Buy the Recovery.

Target: Amazon, Shopify, Zoom, Microsoft, Moderna, Pfizer.

Invest $1 billion in long-term positions by mid-2020.

Timeline: Hold until 2024. Expect 5-10x returns.

Step Three: Bitcoin & Tesla.

Bitcoin will skyrocket to $69,000 by 2021.

Tesla will go from $60 to over $400.

Invest $200 million into both.

He saved the file and shut his laptop.

If he executed this plan correctly, he wouldn't just be the richest man in the Philippines. He'd be one of the wealthiest individuals in the world.

But this wasn't just about money. This was about power. If Sentinel Systems controlled cybersecurity, and he controlled the financial markets… then he could shape the future however he saw fit.

He exhaled slowly, a cold determination settling in his chest.

No one else knew what he knew.

And he wasn't going to waste this chance.
