Chapter 82: Bitcoin
At the beginning of June, the scenery is infinitely better.
The leaves of the North American red maple trees on the roadside are still green, and there are large green green hills.
encountered a Cobra sports car produced by Ford, provoked to race with him, and opened the window and swore dirty.
Zhang Xiaokai just raised his middle finger and continued to move forward at a constant speed, turning up the sound of the stereo by the way.
When he entered the territory of New York State, the joy of being a free man had not yet dissipated, and he followed the mobile phone navigation to Manhattan, where he had friends.
It's not the first time I've driven to New York, but I can't remember the road, the phone has been changed from iPhone4 to iPhone6Plus, in fact, he also bought a Watch, and then he thought it was too chicken, and then changed to AP's Royal Oak series limited edition, which was a birthday gift from his father when he was sixteen years old.
At this time, I received a phone call, and I could already see the skyline of Manhattan.
My roommate, Xiao Gejun, chattered and told, "I regret it, I want to give up the project and travel around the United States with you! Can you come to school to pick me up?"
"No, I'm almost in Manhattan.
If you really want to come with me, you'll have to get in touch with your family, maybe stay here for a few days, and I'll send you the address later. ”
After living together for so many years, moving from the girls' dormitory to the boys' dormitory, both of them are roommates, and Zhang Xiaokai is more like his brother.
After speaking, he hung up the phone directly, and didn't give the little guy a chance to ask him to go back and pick him up, so he dialed another number and asked the other party to send the house number to him......
There are a lot of luxury cars in Manhattan, but dark green convertible Bentleys are relatively rare, and the return rate is still quite high.
Seeing someone taking pictures, Zhang Xiaokai closed the roof.
At this time, he was driving towards South Central Park, and now he went to Mike Wang, who sold the game "My Racing Car" and bought a house in Manhattan first, and saved part of the rest of the money and used it for angel investment, and lived a semi-retirement life early.
Both parties think that each other is quite good, so the relationship has become better than before.
Zhang Xiaokai doesn't have many friends, but they all get along very well, some of them are scattered in all walks of life after leaving Harvard, and more of them decide to become university teachers, this time they left from Manhattan, and I don't know when the next time we meet, so I naturally think we should meet.
The address is located at 220 South Central Park, and after following the traffic to get here, he was stopped by the security guards and contacted Mike Wang to enter.
The decoration looks quite high-end, and I originally thought that the house I bought for more than 20 million dollars should be great, but when I actually came to his house, I found that it was not too big, but I could see Central Park.
I haven't seen it for more than half a year.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaokai was sitting on the sofa, flipping through the magazines in his hand, raised his head to look at Mike, and asked casually: "Didn't you say that you found a girlfriend last time, what about people?"
"Hey, don't mention it, all day long either let me buy a bag, or let me buy some messy gifts for her, and then break up when I get bored, there are a lot of such women in Manhattan, I don't want to be their mobile ATM. ”
Mike was still the same, he didn't wear a suit and tie like the merchants, his hair was messy like a bird's nest, his house was very messy, and he didn't know how long he hadn't been out.
He asked Zhang Xiaokai and said: "I can often see the news of your Harvard restaurant on the Internet, and they have all left Harvard, this name should really be changed, congratulations on making a fortune again, why didn't I expect it to be so valuable." ”
"I've been losing money, I haven't gotten any dividends, and if a company is willing to buy it, maybe I'll sell it. ”
"Really, it's in good form, and I'd suggest you wait. ”
"yes, then wait, I don't spend much money anyway. ”
Zhang Xiaokai was easily moved.
He didn't know much about that, and since there was merit in what Mike said, and he was more of an expert than himself, he thought it should be the right suggestion.
I don't care about those things, and I'm not stupid. If he is really a fool, as early as a few years ago, he was cheated out of the shares in his hand by an investment company, how can he still retain his status as a major shareholder now.
Mike Wong knew his character, changed the subject, jumped on to another matter, and said, "I recently discovered something interesting, called Bitcoin, which had no value when it was first born, and now one Bitcoin has risen to more than $300.
Are you interested in partnering with me, and the two of us will do business again? It's not a lot of investment, it's enough to get two million dollars each, in fact, I've been hoarding a lot lately, and I'm going to sell it when the value rises a little more, and then I make a profit. Or it can also be a middleman for virtual currency trading, and some people use it to realize the cross-border flow of funds, and I think their value will continue to rise. ”
"I've seen in the news that somebody launders money with this thing, right? I don't want to do a crime, but if you're short of money, I can lend you two million dollars. ”
"There's still money to sell games, I just want to gamble, but I want to find someone to share the risk, their value has skyrocketed in the last year, and it's just a bunch of code, which makes me undecided. ”
Zhang Xiaokai had a lot of money left in his account, but when he looked at what Mike Wang meant, it seemed that it was very risky.
Refusing again, he said: "Listen to the fact that there are no stocks that are safe, and there are at least corresponding assets behind the stocks, but what is the value of those virtual currencies, and the eggs will be finished one day." ”
"It's just a gamble, set a limit, such as making 20 percent, or losing 20 percent, and immediately withdraw and leave, I don't want to get stuck in those things. Mike got up, helped Zhang Xiaokai make a cup of coffee, and continued: "If you're not interested, forget it, this thing is completely gambling." ”
"But it sounds like a good middleman, anyway, it's none of your business to lose money or make money. ”
"Are you going to do it with me?"
Zhang Xiaokai shook his head suddenly and replied, "No, I'm just talking about my thoughts, how to decide is up to you." ”
"But, I think you're luckier than me, I always think it's hard to make this business without partnering with you, your ranch is successful, my game, and that delivery service company are making a lot of money. So this time I decided to let you help me think, if you say invest, I will invest, and if you say you don't invest, then I won't do it. ”
"Mike, you're making it hard for me to do this, what if I can really make money, but I don't make any money. ”
After Zhang Xiaokai finished speaking, he used his mobile phone to check Bitcoin, and he couldn't understand it, but there were a lot of related topics that he searched, so he raised his head and put down his mobile phone and said: "Otherwise, I will try it, I myself found that this day is too boring, so I should go into the casino to gamble, if it is calculated according to the 20% rise and fall, anyway, regardless of profit and loss, it will be 400,000 US dollars." ”
"Very good, then I'll register a company later, let's take you out to dinner, I'll take a shower first......"
