Just as Fang Chenyi finished dumping a box of shredded paper into his woven bag, a notification for a special reward suddenly appeared in his mind.

Fang Chenyi hadn’t expected to be rewarded with shares in an oil company. This was a genuine surprise.

’But the stake is a little low, only 10%. With that, I probably won’t even have a say in anything, right?’

Ever since he got the system, it seemed he had only received a 10% stake twice. The first time was for Huaxia’s Baida Group, and the second was for this... Saudi Aramco thing.

At this thought, Fang Chenyi froze. Baida was one of the top corporations in Huaxia. ’Could this Saudi Aramco be a massive company just like Baida Group?’

With that thought, his interest was piqued. Forgetting about picking up trash, he pulled out his phone, opened the browser, and started searching.

He didn’t know what to expect, but the results of his search were staggering. Fang Chenyi was completely blown away by the data on his phone.

Saudi Aramco: the world’s largest oil production company and sixth-largest oil refiner, with operations spanning the globe. It possessed the world’s largest onshore and offshore oil fields.

The latest data from 2020 showed the company’s valuation had reached a staggering 1.7 trillion US Dollars!

Compared to that, not only Baida Group, but even giants like Microsoft and Apple paled in comparison.

It was no exaggeration to call it the most valuable publicly traded company in the world.

Staring at the company’s profile on his phone, Fang Chenyi quickly did the math in his head. ’A market cap of 1.7 trillion US Dollars... ten percent of the shares... if my math is right, doesn’t that mean my stake is worth one hundred and seventy billion US Dollars?’

"Holy shit, that’s an insane amount of money! If I sell this ten percent stake, I’ll instantly become the richest man in Huaxia!"

Fang Chenyi wasn’t exaggerating in the slightest.

One hundred and seventy billion US Dollars, at the current exchange rate of about 6.8 yuan to the dollar, was equivalent to over 1.1629 trillion yuan!

Forget being the richest man in Huaxia; if he really sold his shares, he would rank among the wealthiest people in the entire world!

At this point, Fang Chenyi was no longer upset about his stake being "too small."

’Holy cow. Never mind the market cap, just looking at the company’s annual revenue of 355.9 billion US Dollars, my 10% cut would be 35.59 billion US Dollars a year!’

For a moment, the corners of Fang Chenyi’s mouth couldn’t help but curl into a wide grin.

’Later, I can just set aside a Planet Tower in my business district to be the Saudi Aramco headquarters in Huaxia. With my 10% stake, I should be able to get a firm grip on the entire Asia-Pacific market.’

Although it sounded simple, Fang Chenyi knew it would require a massive number of personnel.

Thinking about his current situation and the commercial empire he now possessed, Fang Chenyi felt a headache coming on. ’I’m desperately short on talented people right now.’

He shook his head helplessly. ’Forget it. I should just focus on finishing up this dumpster for now. The talent problem isn’t something I can solve overnight anyway.’

Fang Chenyi was remarkably philosophical about it. The companies the system gave him were all mature, large corporations that could operate just fine even if he didn’t go looking for new talent.

He just wouldn’t know if there was any shady business going on inside them.

’In any case, it’s not like I can install people I trust into all these companies at once. I’ll just take it slow. Whenever I find some capable people, I’ll take over the companies one by one.’

With that thought, Fang Chenyi went back to picking up trash.

This dumpster was filled with paper, books, and other similar items. His trash picker darted in and out. Since it was dark, Fang Chenyi didn’t bother trying to see what he was grabbing and just tossed everything directly into his woven bag.

BOOM! Fang Chenyi’s head swam with a sudden bout of dizziness. He blinked a few times, a look of utter disbelief on his face.

’What did I just hear? Did the system just say it rewarded me with a skill from an anime character??’

’Holy shit, this is too surreal! It can actually reward me with something like this?? Does it have to be so ridiculously overpowered?!’

Fang Chenyi remained stunned for a long moment before he finally snapped out of it. It was incredible, but when he remembered the dose of Super Soldier Serum from before, it started to make a little more sense.

’I’ve just been misled by the kinds of special rewards the system has been giving out. I never dared to even consider this possibility.’

Now that the initial shock had passed, Fang Chenyi was a bit confused. He never had a habit of reading manga, so he had never actually seen Naruto.

Furthermore, he had no idea what this so-called anime character skill, ’Illusion Technique: Celestial Gods,’ was even for.

But based on the name, he wondered to himself, ’It’s not some kind of martial art for beating up a celestial god, is it?’
