He paused, reflecting on the significance of these events, fully aware of the opportunities they presented. Leon knew that seizing these moments could potentially provide him with the resources he needed for the uncertain times ahead.

His fingers danced on the keyboard, capturing the essence of the moments, the dates, and times etched into his memory.

Leon: (With unwavering determination) "I can't forget any of this... not the date and time of its historic low, not the unbelievably low price, not the moment it surged back, and not the heart-wrenching fall that followed. Bitcoin and Zen—they hold the key to my future."

The room seemed charged with tension as he continued typing.

Leon: (Almost whispering, yet resolute) "This is my lifeline, my one shot at surviving the looming cataclysm... for my future. I can't let these crucial moments fade away."

With every keystroke, he reinforced the significance of these moments, knowing that his fate depended on seizing this fleeting opportunity.

Leon: (With determination) "This is just the beginning... more to plan, more to prepare... for the cataclysm... for my family's future... for my own future."

Leon continued to add more details to his notes, his voice steady as he outlined his plans.

Leon: (Typing with confidence) "Investing in tech companies is a goldmine if you choose wisely, especially those set for future success. Let's talk about AppTech, a game-changer in the making. On July 1, 2045, they offered 55% of their shares for just £500,000."

His keystrokes resonated with purpose as Leon continued, a glint of nostalgia in his eyes.

Leon: (Eagerly reminiscing) "Ah, AppTech, a name that would soon resonate across industries. People doubted it, called it a scam, but not me. I saw the brilliance, the ambition. And David Lard, a prodigy at just 25 years old, the driving force. They needed backers, and I'll be ready to seize the opportunity."

He continued to type, his fingers moving with purpose as he calculated the potential gains from such an investment.

Leon: (Typing with growing enthusiasm) "Electric Vehicle (EV) Manufacturers are where the future lies. Electric cars are the way forward, and I'm betting on it. EcoMotors, with their groundbreaking technology and visionary leadership, aren't just set to lead the EV revolution; they're poised for domination. I can't pass up the chance to own 10% of that future for just £250,000. On September 22, 2045, they offered their stocks, and surprisingly, nobody bought them, which became a regret for many in the future."

As he typed, Leon's mind teemed with visions of a world filled with sleek, silent EVs. He knew he was positioning himself at the forefront of this electrifying future.

Leon: (With a sense of purpose) "EcoMotors, led by the brilliant innovator Jane Winston, is on the cusp of something extraordinary. They needed this capital to drive innovation, to make electric vehicles more accessible and efficient. I need to invest wisely to secure a substantial stake in this revolution. It's not just an investment; it's a commitment to a greener, smarter, and more sustainable future, and it will benefit me greatly in the future."

Leon continued to write.

Leon: (Typing with a heavy heart) "Investing in Biotechnology... BioGen... £500,000... for the research and the future."

As his fingers danced across the digital notepad, Leon's thoughts were consumed by a profound sense of responsibility. The memory of the accident that had taken Sophie's life in his previous existence weighed heavily on his soul. He couldn't change the past, but this second chance at life was an opportunity to make amends.

Leon: (Reflective) "Katie Young... BioGen... your research will change the world. I'll make sure you keep it this time, Katie, and no one will take the credit away from you. You won't have to sell your dreams to make ends meet."

With each word he typed, he felt the weight of his commitment to right a wrong. The money he was investing wasn't just currency; it was a lifeline to a brighter future for Katie and her sister, Sophie. It was a chance for redemption.

Leon: (Resolute) "This time, I won't let anyone down. I'll ensure that BioGen's groundbreaking work thrives, and that Sophie gets the life she deserves. Katie, I know you once considered selling your research for £100,000 just to make ends meet. But this time, I won't let you do it. Instead, I will be offering you £500,000 as an investment in both you and your company. You'll have to remain as the CEO, and I'll take 45% ownership, leaving you with 55% to secure your vision and future. It's not just about the money; it's a lifeline for both of you, and I'm committed to making sure it shines brightly. She will be putting up the sale listing online on January 1, 2048 and that will be my time to act on it."

Leon was now deep into planning his investments for the next several decades. Real estate seemed like an excellent avenue, and he was eager to take advantage of opportunities that would arise. As he wrote down his strategies, he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement about the potential profits and positive impacts he could make.

Leon: (Focused) "Real Estate... it's all about location, timing, and vision."

He carefully detailed his plans, highlighting key dates and locations for his investments. The thought of revitalizing run-down properties, turning them into thriving assets, and contributing to the development of emerging areas filled him with enthusiasm.

Leon: (Planning) "March 8, 2048... that's when the doors to these opportunities open."

He calculated the amount needed for these investments and noted it down. A hundred million pounds was a significant sum, but he was determined to acquire these properties and make them prosper.

Leon: (Determined) "With these investments, I can shape the future in more ways than one."

Each word he wrote represented a piece of the puzzle, a step closer to realizing his ambitious plans. Leon knew that the journey ahead would be long and filled with challenges, but he was ready to embrace it with open arms.

Leon: (Confident) "This is just the beginning."

Leon's mind raced with possibilities as he considered his short-term financial strategy. He knew he needed a substantial amount of money to kickstart his long-term investment plans, but asking his family for such a sum would raise too many questions. He needed an alternative, a way to earn a significant sum without arousing suspicion.

Leon: (Contemplative) "I can't just ask for that kind of money, not without raising eyebrows. I need something... unconventional."

He recalled stories from the future, tales of lost paintings and artifacts that had been discovered in the most unexpected places. It was as if the treasures of the past had resurfaced to astonish the world. These stories had always fascinated him, but now they held a new significance.

Leon: (Eureka moment) "Lost Fabergé Eggs, Crown Jewels of Ireland... hidden in plain sight, waiting to be discovered."

He began to jot down the details of these discoveries. The Nécessaire Egg found in a quaint pawn shop in France, the Cherub with Chariot Egg adorning a restaurant in the Scottish Highlands, and the Crown Jewels of Ireland tucked away in a remote Norwegian village.

Leon: (Calculating) "They were bought for mere pennies and sold for fortunes... That's it!"

His eyes gleamed with determination as he envisioned himself on a quest, searching for hidden treasures in plain view. This was the solution to his short-term financial needs, a way to accumulate the funds required for his ambitious investments.

Leon: (Resolute) "I'll follow in the footsteps of those who stumbled upon history's forgotten gems."

Leon: "Okay, I think this is everything I need for now. I just need to create some excuses and ask Father for some money and some time to visit these places and retrieve them."

The clock on the wall chimed 10:30 AM as Leon finished jotting down his plans for the future. His digital notepad displayed a growing list of potential investments, a roadmap to financial prosperity that spanned the next few decades. The weight of the future rested heavily on his shoulders, but today was a new day, and for now, he set aside his financial musings.
