New York, USA.

"Knock-"

"Please come in. ”

"Good morning, boss. ”

Peter Olsen, CEO of Random House, smiled and nodded, and said, "Sit down first, come here in such a hurry, is there any good news for me?"

"Yes, boss, the author of the novel "Fifty Shades of Gray" on the Internet replied to our private message not long ago, leaving a phone call, and our people immediately called each other and contacted each other... ”

Peter Olson's eyes couldn't help but light up, you know, this web novel has set off a wave of heat on the Internet in North America, word of mouth, this novel has spread almost all over the adult world, people are boldly and openly discussing the plot at the same time, but also more and more curious, what kind of person is the author of this 'textbook-level' divine book.

seems to have guessed the curiosity of his boss, and the management of the report introduced it very intimately: "The author of this novel is British, male xing, not a female xing author as rumored on the Internet, called Arthur Boleyn, who now lives in a manor of the same name in Hampshire, England, listening to the voice, the other party seems to be very young." ”

"Boleyn Manor?" Peter Olsen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately grasped the point of his subordinates' words, for him who was well-informed, the meaning of the English Country Estate was not unfamiliar, and a guess immediately arose in his mind, "Hehe, this is a little interesting." ”

Peter Olsen, who saw his subordinates looking puzzled by his words, smiled and continued: "Is the other party willing to cooperate with us?"

"Yes, on the phone, I have agreed with the other party to meet at a time, and the other party is very happy to be recognized by our Random House, and is very much looking forward to cooperating with us. ”

"Hehe, yes, inform the British branch that you have to take this matter seriously, this "Fifty Shades of Gray" has great potential, and now it has nearly a million readers, once it is published, as long as the publicity is in place, it will be a phenomenal bestseller, so it must be taken down. Peter Olsen smiled slightly, his face became serious, and he said in a very serious tone.

"Okay, boss, I'll let you know your attitude in the UK. ”

"Very well, that's it, I'm waiting for the good news. Peter Olsen smiled and nodded.

After his subordinates left, Peter Olsen leaned back in the boss's chair and groaned for a moment, took out his mobile phone, opened the address book, found a number, and dialed it.

Ten minutes later...

"Tsk, Earl, what a big surprise for me, is this another Marquis de S.A?"

The call was made to a noble friend in the UK, and the news he got also confirmed his guess, Boleyn Manor is really a noble family, but unexpectedly, the other party's title turned out to be an earl, which surprised him at the same time, but also made him feel that he had dug out a 'treasure' this time, as long as the publicity is in place, the small X article written by the earl is undoubtedly the biggest publicity gimmick, and it will definitely attract enough attention!

And Arthur, who was far away in England, would definitely jump to the street in anger if he knew that someone said that he was another Marquis de SA!

Because the Marquis de S.A. was a famous French writer of the 18th century... Born June 2, 1740. His mother was of Bourbon royal blood, so he grew up with the children of the princes and nobles. Even with such a noble birth, 32 of his 74 years of life have been spent in prison and psychiatric hospitals! It's all because he's "too changeable"!

His novels have also been listed as JIN books in many countries for decades, and even modern people seem shocking and unacceptable... The 'S' also comes from him。。。。。。

After getting in touch with the people at Random House and agreeing on a meeting time, Arthur finally breathed a sigh of relief, he had been busy with the layout for so long, and finally began to see the harvest.

Whether it is the antique auction, or the film and television rights of "Boleyn Manor", plus the publication of "Fifty Shades of Gray", this is Arthur's first step in order to make himself fame and fortune, get rid of the background of the declining nobles in the debt-indebted countryside, climb to the level of local tyrants, and return the Boleyn family to the sight of mainstream society.

Money and fame are the ladder to climb upwards, and as for the possible negative effects of the novel "Fifty Shades of Gray"... Ahem, well, it's not possible, it's bound to have some negative effects, Arthur doesn't care, but intentionally, the future world is the era of eyeball economy, there is controversy before there is a topic, there is a topic before there is hype, there is hype before there is traffic, and there is traffic to convert into economic benefits.

In this world, sometimes no matter how hard you try, you can't make everyone like it. Sometimes, instead of caring what others think of you, it's better to be yourself, even if it may be a lonely situation. You don't need to pay attention to other people's cold eyes and ridicule, as long as you have a clear conscience, you are worthy of your family, and you are worthy of yourself!

We're not pounds, we can't be liked by everyone!

Arthur, who has died once, how can he care about this, living his own life, making enough money, being free, living his life freely, and living a wonderful life is what he wants to pursue.

Making enough money is his biggest goal at the moment, so he couldn't take his eyes off the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto who will stir up the world in the future on the P2P foundation website displayed on the computer screen, and released the Bitcoin white paper "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System".

Bitcoin, the name that people all over the world will not be unfamiliar with in the future, is just a new idea of electronic money for now, even on January 3, 2009, after the birth of the Bitcoin genesis block, the existence of Bitcoin is only circulated in a very small range, and the controversy continues.

In his previous life, Arthur was really envious, jealous and hateful about the skyrocketing storm of Bitcoin that swept the world, and all kinds of cases of making a fortune and becoming a billionaire with Bitcoin, regretting why he didn't follow the mining and hoarding of Bitcoin, beating his chest and feeling that he missed the great opportunity to reach the peak of his life.

Now that he has been reborn and has regret medicine, he will naturally not miss the initial era of Bitcoin, however, he has listened to so many TV talks, newspaper reviews, and Internet content in his previous life, and he still feels that the concept of Bitcoin is cloudy and foggy, and he doesn't know what to do.

Mining?

How to dig?

How do you dig with a computer?

。。。。。。

Arthur, who has not played it, can only find Satoshi Nakamoto's so-called Bitcoin white paper to study carefully. Then I went to the Bitcoin Genesis Block Forum to check every post, and finally figured it out.

To put it bluntly, Bitcoin is a virtual currency generated based on a variety of computer encryption technologies, which can only be obtained through "mining". Mining is the non-stop operation of high-performance computer equipment nicknamed "mining machines" to generate bitcoins through complex algorithms of specific programs...

Ahem, still don't understand?

Then don't care what the concept of Bitcoin is, download the Bitcoin program directly from the official website of Bitcoin, and then keep it running on the computer, this Bitcoin program will keep calculating a series of "mathematical problems", and when you successfully solve a problem, you may get a certain amount of Bitcoin in return.

However, when he saw the equipment he needed, Arthur realized how ridiculous his idea of buying a few random assembled computers and plugging them in and 'mining' 24 hours a day...
