Chapter 557: Breakup Fee
Applejack also wants to deal with these bitcoins as soon as possible, so he thought of informing his friends that China doesn't seem to pay attention to bitcoins, and Applejack is afraid that his friends will miss a good time to make a move.
"You're about to graduate with a Ph.D., have you thought about what you'll do in the future?" asked Wang Ye with concern.
He knows Applejack, an academic maniac with real skills, and if Applejack doesn't have a good place to go, then he's happy to let Applejack come over and help him with things.
For the character and knowledge of this old classmate, Wang Ye can be trusted.
"I was going to start my own business, so I contacted a few brothers and sisters from the same school to start a game studio, focusing on mobile games. Originally, I didn't have the start-up capital, so I didn't move, but now after selling Bitcoin, I immediately registered a company. Applejack admits.
Although he didn't recruit Applejack, Wang Ye was also happy for his old classmates, and he was happy to be able to do what he wanted to do.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Ye thought for a long time about where his bitcoins went.
It seems to have been put in a USB flash drive and deposited in a bank......
However, which bank it was, Wang Ye really couldn't remember for a while.
Although tens of millions of dollars are nothing to the current Wang Ye, it is also money, so it can't be thrown away in vain.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Ye just remembered that he was still living with Meimei at that time, living in Washington Tiandi, a nearby bank, but he forgot what the bank was called......
However, Meimei should remember that Wang Ye suddenly had an idea, and he knew what to do with this bitcoin.
He dialed Meimei's phone, and now Meimei does not live with him, but lives with Liu Wenjuan in the apartment provided by the company.
The two girls worked hard in Xiangjiang together, and then returned to Pengcheng together and entered Huayou Group, serving as the general manager of the branch and the financial director of the group respectively.
Now the two have become good girlfriends, and it is said that with their level, everyone can apply for a big apartment, but it is not too lonely to live alone, so the two simply live together.
Meimei and Liu Wenjuan just returned home from dinner, and spread out the yoga mat in the living room to do yoga.
I was working out until my muscles were sore, and my phone rang.
"Meimei your phone. Liu Wenjuan said.
Meimei stood up from the yoga mat with her waist up, took a look at her mobile phone, and quickly connected the phone, and on the caller ID, it was Wang Ye who was displayed.
"Brother Ye, are you looking for me?" Meimei said breathlessly.
She is still used to calling Wang Ye "Brother Ye".
"Well, Meimei, let me ask you, when we lived in Washington, D.C., wasn't there a bank next to it, what was it called? ”
"It's called China Merchants Bank. Meimei really remembered it very clearly, and blurted out without thinking about it.
The period of time she lived in Washington was the happiest time of her life, and how could she have forgotten everything about it.
"That's right, I have deposited a thing there, and tomorrow you take my ID card and power of attorney to take it out. By the way, that thing is for you. ”
Meimei was a little puzzled, if it was deposited in that bank, it should have been a few years ago, what was it, Wang Ye put it in the bank safe a few years ago.
So she asked curiously, "What is it?"
"A U FLASH DRIVE, BUT THE THINGS STORED IN IT ARE STILL A LITTLE VALUABLE, BY THE WAY, AFTER YOU GET THE U DISK, CONTACT MY CONSULTANT SUSAN AND ASK HER TO HELP YOU DEAL WITH IT. Wang Ye instructed.
So, Meimei agreed in a daze, and in the end she didn't know what was in the USB flash drive.
……
The next day, Meimei went to Wang Ye's office, took his ID card and authorization documents, and drove to China Merchants Bank in Washington.
She hasn't been here for a long time, but she has lived here for a few years, and the surroundings are quite familiar.
This area is now close to the city, and it is much more lively than in previous years.
At the beginning, when she and Wang Ye lived here, it was quite deserted, but now, it takes a long time to find a parking space.
In the end, I parked the car in the Huafu Tiandi community and walked a few hundred meters to the bank.
Walking into the bank lobby, it is now work time, and there are not many people in the bank.
The manager on duty in the lobby greeted him warmly.
"Hello, what kind of business do you do? ”
Meimei nodded and said, "I'll pick up something stored in the safe." ”
"Is it yours?"
"No, a friend's, but he entrusted me with this matter, and he brought his ID card. ”
"Alright, please come with me. ”
Following the manager on duty, he came to the back of the VIP room of the bank, and after verifying the ID card and the entrustment documents, the manager on duty took a small tin box, which was the USB flash drive that Wang Ye had deposited.
Along with the USB flash drive, there is also a piece of paper with the password of the Bitcoin wallet written down on it.
AFTER TAKING THE THINGS AWAY, MEIMEI STILL DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS, BUT REMEMBERING WANG YE'S INSTRUCTIONS, SHE MADE A PHONE CALL TO SUSAN, AND THEN DROVE DIRECTLY TO THE CITIBANK BRANCH.
IN SUSAN'S OFFICE, MEIMEI TOOK OUT THE USB FLASH DRIVE AND SAID, "THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WANG DONG GAVE ME, SAYING THAT YOU SHOULD HELP ME DEAL WITH IT." ”
SUSAN WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED, TOOK THE USB FLASH DRIVE AND LOOKED AT IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG, SO HE ASKED, "WHAT'S IN HERE?"
"Wang Dong said what is Bitcoin. ”
Meimei didn't know anything about Bitcoin, and she didn't know anything about it.
HOWEVER, OF COURSE, SUSAN KNEW WHAT BITCOIN WAS, AND SHE WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED, SHE DIDN'T EXPECT WANG YE TO STILL PLAY BITCOIN.
"Bitcoin is not cheap now, when did Wang Dong buy these bitcoins. She asked casually.
"It seems to be...... Three years ago, yes, three years ago, in April of 2010. Meimei thought about it for a moment and replied affirmatively.
SUSAN WAS TAKEN ABACK, THREE YEARS AGO, NOT MANY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD KNEW ABOUT BITCOIN, LET ALONE COLLECTED IT.
This Wang Ye is really so far-sighted, did he know three years ago that this thing would appreciate significantly......
"How many bitcoins are there?" she asked.
"I don't know, but Wang Ye said to let you help me sell it, all of it. Meimei said embarrassedly.
ALTHOUGH SUSAN JUST SAID THAT BITCOIN IS NOT CHEAP NOW, SHE DIDN'T CARE, A FEW YEARS AGO, WHEN SHE AND WANG YE FIRST MET, WANG YE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH MONEY AT THAT TIME.
Therefore, Meimei feels that this thing should not be too valuable, because Wang Ye didn't have much money to play with these things at that time, and it is estimated that it can be worth hundreds of thousands?
SUSAN, A FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL, SKILLFULLY PLUGGED A USB DRIVE INTO HIS COMPUTER AND ENTERED HIS PASSWORD TO CHECK HIS BITCOIN WALLET.
When she saw the number "50,000", she was shocked that there were so many!
She knows very well that the current market of bitcoin has rushed to $1,300 yesterday!
Of the 50,000 bitcoins in it, it's worth $65 million.
Although this number is not a big number for the current Wang Ye, it can be described as a drizzle.
But you know, this is a foreshadowing laid by Wang Ye three years ago, and he shouldn't have much money at that time.
Could it be that geniuses can see things in a few years?
At that time, Wang Ye knew that Bitcoin would skyrocket in the future?
But these things, she can't ask Wang Ye, she can only secretly admire in her heart, no wonder Wang Ye can do this career, just from this perspective, what can be done without success......
"Sister Meimei, there are 50,000 bitcoins in it, which is worth 65,000 US dollars at the current market price. SUSAN SAID.
"How much?" Mimi thought she had misheard.
"Sixty-five million dollars!" SUSAN said aggravated.
She remembered what Meimei said just now, which was given to Meimei by Wang Ye, and she was really a little envious in her heart.
I may not be able to earn so much money in my life, and I am still an elite among the elites, and the girl in front of me easily got so much money because of her relationship with Wang Ye.
People, it really can't be compared!
Meimei's mind was in chaos, she didn't expect this inconspicuous USB flash drive to be worth so much money!
More than 60 million, or US dollars......
Although the US dollar has depreciated now, the exchange rate is still more than 6 points, and when converted into RMB, it is more than 400 million, which is not a small amount.
Why did Wang Ye suddenly give himself such a large sum of money?
What Meimei thinks about the most now is not how to spend it after getting so much money, but the reason why Wang Ye suddenly gave herself a lot of money.
"DO YOU WANT TO SELL IT NOW? I feel like bitcoin still has a lot of room to appreciate, and it's a shame to sell it now......" SUSAN SUGGESTED.
She is a personal advisor and of course gives her clients her own professional advice.
Not only does she think so, but now the financial circle, especially the financial circle in the United States, is unanimously optimistic about the prospects of bitcoin.
"Currency without borders!"
"The safest and most value-preserving currency"
……
Various touts, and, in the United States, several states have formally legislated recognizing the legal monetary rights and interests of Bitcoin.
This year's skyrocketing price of bitcoin is also due to this.
Everyone believes that Bitcoin will become more and more valuable, because there is a limit to the number of this thing.
"Sell it directly, and I'll trouble you. ”
Meimei didn't explain too much, and said decisively, because this was Wang Ye's instructions.
"Okay, give me a few days, this amount is a bit large, I'm going to entrust the headquarters to deal with it. SUSAN SAID SADLY.
Dealing with these bitcoins, of course, is not difficult for Citibank.
Meimei drove back to the company, and along the way, she kept thinking about that question in her head.
That is, why did Wang Ye suddenly give himself a large sum of money.
Meimei was not excited to get this money, her current income, plus the pocket money given by Wang Ye, has long stopped worrying about money.
She had a bad premonition, Wang Ye gave herself so much money, would it be ......
After returning to the UU Building, it was only about three o'clock in the afternoon, and he had not yet gotten off work, and this time was usually the time when Wang Ye was smoking a cigar in the office.
Meimei certainly knew Wang Ye's habits very well, she didn't go back to her office, but went directly to Wang Ye's office.
When she entered Wang Ye's office, she naturally didn't need to be reported by the secretary, Liu Ruomei just smiled and nodded when she saw her coming.
Meimei was in no mood to greet Liu Ruomei now, and pushed the door straight into Wang Ye's office.
Behind her, Liu Ruomei stuck out her tongue, and she could see that Meimei's face was not very good.
Of course, Liu Ruomei knows the relationship between Meimei and Wang Ye, but usually Meimei's temper is very good, and she has never seen her angry, so what's wrong today.
……
Wang Ye was sitting on a massage chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window smoking a cigar, and when he heard the office door being pushed open and someone coming in, he didn't look back.
The people who can go directly to their office are, of course, the people closest to them.
"Brother Ye, I'm back. Meimei said.
It turned out to be Meimei, Wang Ye turned his head and asked with a smile: "Go to the bank and take out the things?"
"Well, I met with SUSAN too, and she said that the bitcoins in there are now worth 65 million dollars!" Mimi said in an aggravated tone.
"Oh, yes, I only paid a few hundred dollars for those bitcoins at the time, haha. Wang Ye laughed.
This investment, if you look at the rate of return, is really ridiculously high.
The $500 investment reaped $65 million in just over three years.
That's a 100,000-fold return on investment......
However, this kind of investment, the upper limit is there, you can't invest too much bitcoin, so at most you can make so much.
For ordinary people, more than 60 million US dollars, that is definitely enough to live comfortably for a lifetime.
But this money, for Wang Ye, is a bit unattractive.
So, if Applejack hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten about the bitcoins.
Seriously, in a few years, maybe the price of bitcoin will be even higher, but Wang Ye is not greedy, he specially instructed Meimei to dispose of these bitcoins as soon as possible.
Because he feels that because of his rebirth, many things have changed, so whether the price of bitcoin can rush to the sky again after a year or two of downturn as he remembers, no one dares to say this kind of thing.
Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the high price now and deal with it quickly.
Besides, I don't lack that money.
These bitcoins should be a small gift for Meimei, I have known her for so long, and I always feel that I owe her a lot.
"Brother Ye, why are you giving me so much money...... Isn't it...... Do you want to break up with me?"
After enduring it for a long time, Meimei still didn't hold back and asked that sentence.
In general TV dramas, when a rich boyfriend breaks up with his girlfriend, he doesn't always give the woman a large sum of money.
Wang Ye suddenly gave himself such a large sum of money today, does it also mean this......
Wang Ye listened to her words, was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you say that?"
Meimei lowered her head and said in a low mood: "Otherwise, why would you suddenly give me money?"
