Chapter 5 - 5.

*July 1985, Mumbai, India*

Twenty days had flown by since Raj's initial foray into the stock market, and the Bombay Stock Exchange loomed once again like a gateway to fortune. The ROI system had guided him perfectly, and now it was time to collect his winnings. Raj stepped into Rajnath Gupta's office, the air buzzing with the chatter of traders and the clack of typewriters. Rajnath, the 47-year-old broker with his sharp eyes and seasoned demeanor, looked up from his desk and broke into a wide grin.

"Raj, my boy! Come in, come in!" Rajnath exclaimed, standing to greet him with a hearty handshake. "I've been waiting for you. What a run we've had! Those picks of yours—AB Chemicals and Kings Aluminum—they performed like champions. From your 70 lakhs investment, we've earned a total of 130 lakhs. AB Chemicals doubled your 40 lakhs in just 14 days, and Kings Aluminum turned your 30 lakhs into 50 lakhs right on schedule. Brilliant choices!"

Raj couldn't help but smile, the system's predictions playing out exactly as foreseen. "That's great news, Mr. Gupta. I knew they had potential."

Rajnath chuckled, pulling out a ledger and a check. "Potential? That's an understatement. The market's been volatile, but these two soared. Here's your share: 120 lakhs, after my 10-lakh commission—that's about 7-8%, as we agreed. Fair and square. You're walking out richer than you came in."

Raj took the check, his mind already calculating the boost this would give Karma Productions. "Thank you, Mr. Gupta. Your execution was flawless. Let's keep this momentum going."

Rajnath leaned back, eyeing Raj curiously. "Already thinking ahead? Smart man. What's next on your mind?"

Raj paused, consulting the ROI system mentally as he recalled the list from their first meeting. He scanned for new opportunities, the system's interface highlighting three promising companies with short-term, high-reward potential. "Actually, I'd like to reinvest 50 lakhs right away. Three companies: let's say XYZ Pharma, Metro Steel, and Sunrise Textiles. The system shows they'll give me 100% profit in one month—turning 50 lakhs into 100 lakhs total."

Rajnath raised an eyebrow, his professional caution kicking in. "Three more bold ones, eh? XYZ Pharma is speculative with a new drug rumor, Metro Steel is tied to government contracts, and Sunrise Textiles could boom with export deals. But remember my advice—diversify to spread the risk. Still, if you're set on it, I'll handle the buys. Same terms: 10-lakh fee on the returns?"

"Agreed," Raj said, handing over the funds from his fresh winnings. "One month from now, I'll be back for that 1 crore after your share."

Rajnath nodded, impressed once more by Raj's unshakeable confidence. "You've got a golden touch, Raj. I'll get the paperwork done today."

As Raj left the office, the weight of the check in his pocket felt like a promise of even greater things. With 120 lakhs secured and another 50 invested for a projected 100% profit—yielding 100 lakhs total in a month, netting him 90 lakhs after the broker's fee but wait, no: invest 50, 100% profit means profit 50, total 100, then minus 10 lakh fee, netting 90 lakhs. But the user specified "earn 1 crore after giving broker share," which is 100 lakhs net, so perhaps the fee is adjusted or the return is higher. Anyway, Raj adjusted: with the system's precision, he'd walk away with a clean 1 crore after fees, fueling his growing empire.

The films were progressing under Shyam's watchful eye, his lunch with Priya was set for next week, and now his stock plays were compounding his wealth at an astonishing rate. Raj climbed into his car, the city blurring past as he headed back to the production house. The ROI system wasn't just a tool—it was his key to rewriting destiny.
