Hello everyone, my name is xxx, and I’m the protagonist you refer to as the one who "made 400k trading stocks at ByteDance and achieved financial freedom."

I can centrally answer the questions that are most frequently asked online:

1. Is the 20k real?
Yes, it is real. May you be safe, may you be happy, may you be blessed. (Here "千万" is a pun meaning both "10 million" and "must/may you". In the original response, the speaker playfully responds to "千万" which also means "10 million", but literally says "must be safe, must be happy, must be blessed". The translation keeps the wordplay as much as possible.)

2. How did you make your first pot of gold?
Right after graduation, I borrowed 400k RMB to buy 0DTE options, and they went to zero. I continued borrowing, and within a week, I turned over $20k into 100 times that amount (see the video). With the starting capital, I shifted to value investing, bought the MAG7, and now mainly invest in the storage sector.

3. Did you pay taxes?
No. I am now a tax resident of Singapore, which has no capital gains tax. Moreover, years ago, I voluntarily canceled my household registration at the local police station in China and had it notarized. All procedures are legal and compliant.

4. How to get started with investing?
Spend two weekends reading *Just Keep Buying* and *The Lifecycle Investing Approach*.
