An Xiaoru died, and eleven more fresh lives became his funeral, and the Feichi Internet café became the headline of the national news for two consecutive weeks, and even foreign news paid attention to this incident and sent reporters to the scene to cover it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The reaction to the Feichi Internet café incident was chained, the first to think of taking advantage of this incident was Qin Shengrong, he found a great opportunity to crack down on Liu Weiping, he personally went to Beijing to find a relationship, and put pressure on Shanghai through the regulatory authorities, first banning the trading of game currency, and then issuing huge fines to Jufang Games, and someone launched anti-addiction software to limit the running time of online games.

The installed capacity of "Star Wars" has declined rapidly, looking at the progress bar of the immovable decoding program, Liu Weiping looks forward to the appearance of a miracle every day, but public opinion is not favorable to him, the discussion of the game has not stopped at all, and the Internet public opinion is one-sided, demanding the banning of these game companies that suck the blood of teenagers, and the regulatory authorities have no choice but to suspend the operation of "Star Wars".

Liu Weiping can only resign under the pressure of Jiaotong University Real Estate and Clifford, he doesn't care about the giant game, his most guilty is that distributed computing has failed again, and it is so fast.

Fifty-one years old was the beginning of life, a good career ended so prematurely, Liu Weiping was unwilling, but he could only accept the reality, he was completely dead to pulse waves, and returned to the three-foot pulpit.

Fifty knows the destiny of heaven, Liu Weiping's teaching and lecturing mentality day after day has gradually calmed down, what is getting ahead and getting rich and rich is a passing cloud, isn't Zhao Yonggang the best case, he climbed to the top of his life in his thirties and was imprisoned, Liu Weiping made up his mind to pay attention to and prepare to teach with peace of mind for the rest of his life.

It is easy for scholars to produce results once Lingtai is clear, and two years passed quickly, and when Liu Weiping began to plan for early retirement, he inadvertently ushered in his academic peak.

In 2008, when the whole country was fighting for the Beijing Olympic Games, Liu Weiping saw the third stock market crash in his life, starting from the summer, after the Shanghai Composite Index rushed past 6,000 points, a beautiful pullback and reversal fell endlessly.

This year's stock market is so crazy that even penniless college students dare to open an account, Liu Weiping's class has an undergraduate student named Wu Qiang, also from the countryside of Xinyang, Henan, secretly made a dozen credit cards and overdrafted nearly 100,000 yuan into the stock market, the result can be imagined, Wu Qiang's family is surrounded by four walls, and he has been admitted to college and has owed a lot of debt, how will it end?

In the morning, the classmates all went to class, Wu Qiang stayed in the dormitory alone, at noon everyone came back to see, Wu Qiang had lost his breath, he hanged himself on the faucet in the bathroom, and left a last word on a book of "Currency Wars", the news spread throughout the school, Liu Weiping was as shocked as everyone else, unlike others, he suddenly got a revelation from the last sentence of Wu Qiang's last words: I hate money.

This year, a communication encryption discussion group posted an article signed Satoshi Nakamoto, this paper-like post outlines a decentralized digital currency that does not rely on the central bank Bitcoin framework, in which the unique blockchain technology allows this digital currency to be self-contained, the currency is generated by the calculation of network nodes, anyone may participate in the production of Bitcoin, and can be circulated all over the world, can be bought and sold on any computer connected to the Internet, no matter where you are, anyone can mine, buy, Selling or receiving bitcoins that are not identifiable to outsiders during the transaction.

In 2009, the program of Bitcoin was quickly developed, Liu Weiping did not have much hope for this technology, he did not think that Bitcoin can really be used as a currency circulation, he was just inspired by Wu Qiang to carry out a cryptographic experiment, he did not even plan to publish a paper publicly, but the subsequent Bitcoin process was far beyond Liu Weiping's expectations.

On May 21, 2010, a programmer in Florida, USA, bought a $25 pizza coupon with 10,000 bitcoins, and the digital currency invented by Liu Weiping intersected with the real world for the first time.

Two months later, the price of the newborn baby skyrocketed tenfold, from $.008 to $0.08, and by November, the Japanese had set up a bitcoin trading platform called MT.GOX, and bitcoin had risen to $0.5 in a flash.

This is crazier than any of the three stock market crashes that Liu Weiping has experienced. The story is not over, and the craziest is still to come, just after the Spring Festival in 2011, it doubled again, and more and more people began to download bitcoin trading wallets.

Liu Weiping was no longer distracted, he immediately nested the pulse wave decoding program into the bitcoin program, he was just over fifty-five years old, and there were still many good years, and there were many seventy or eighty-year-old academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. When he updated the source code of Bitcoin with Satoshi Nakamoto's signature, no one in the open source group suspected him, and since then, Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared into the world of Bitcoin, and Liu Weiping began his quiet wait again, looking at his decoding progress bar every night.

In many things, good luck comes when you give up, but it is the opposite when you force it. Liu Weiping unintentionally inserted the willow to give birth to Bitcoin, just when he was about to sit back and enjoy the success, the price of Bitcoin burst into the market fell by nearly half, and a small climax that had just begun was extinguished, and for nearly two years, Bitcoin climbed to the peak and fell to the bottom, and Liu Weiping's mood also rose and fell with the price of Bitcoin.

There are two years to retire, Liu Weiping can't stand such a toss, he falls ill. Liu Weiping knew that it was useless to take medicine for his illness, and he needed someone to inject him with a shot of strengthening, which was to make Bitcoin more popular than "Star Wars". Thinking of "Star Wars", Liu Weiping dialed Qin Shengrong's phone.

Qin Shengrong also suffered heavy losses in 2008, hearing Liu Weiping tell him on the phone that he had a chance to turn over, Qin Shengrong was suspicious, and heard that Liu Weiping made an appointment to meet in the hospital, he readily agreed, he wanted to take a look at Liu Weiping's down-and-out appearance and find his feelings psychologically.

Liu Weiping, who lives in a separate room in the internal medicine ward, is diagnosed with high blood pressure, accompanied by dizziness and dizziness, and there is no good treatment, which is bed rest. Qin Shengrong put a bouquet of flowers on the head of the bed, and Liu Weiping couldn't help but sneeze when he saw it, "Mr. Qin, I received it with kindness, you better take this out, I'm a little allergic." ”

Qin Shengrong prankfully shook his face in front of Liu Weiping, "This is what I carefully selected for you, it's fresh." Liu Weiping sneezed again, and Qin Shengrong put the flowers outside the door with a burst of pleasure, "Mr. Liu, why do you think of me now when you lie on the hospital bed?" I've really earned enough over the years, and I'm about to wash my hands of gold. ”

"Mr. Qin, we are not outsiders anymore, don't say this kind of outsider, if you would come to see me as an old man" Qin Shengrong was not embarrassed to be broken by Liu Weiping, "Then I have to listen to Mr. Liu's advice, I only look forward to you." ”

"Got Bitcoin?" Liu Weiping stretched out his hand, there was a commemorative coin in his palm, like a symbol of the euro, but not exactly, seeing Qin Shengrong's ignorant look, Liu Weiping knew that it would take a lot of speech, he got out of bed and sat down with Qin Shengrong on the window sofa, and began to popularize science for Qin Shengrong, after talking for a long time, Qin Shengrong finally understood a little, "Isn't this the game currency in "Star Wars"? ”

"Fallacious! I won't explain much to you, you will naturally understand when Bitcoin dominates the world in the future, what I want to tell you is that if you mine now, you will be a billionaire in the future, the richest person on the planet! Hearing the three words the richest, Qin Shengrong couldn't help it, he knew that Liu Weiping would not talk nonsense, since he learned that Apple's Siri technology came from Liu Weiping's early research results, he no longer doubted the technology of this short old man, "Professor Liu, what is the mining method?" ”

"There are a total of 25 million bitcoins, as long as you participate in the calculation, the system will generate bitcoins as a reward, this is mining, the more powerful the computing power, the more rewards, this is exponentially decreasing, mining is getting more and more difficult later, you have to get rich as soon as possible, the calculation of bitcoin mainly depends on graphics cards, so it is necessary to assemble a special machine with enough graphics cards." Liu Weiping continued to patiently popularize science to Qin Shengrong, after all, Qin Shengrong had been in Huaqiangbei for many years, and he understood now, "Isn't this just building a machine?" Isn't that a piece of cake? ”

"Hehe, if it's so simple, I won't look for you, the real difficulty is to put the price of bitcoin up, theoretically according to the current total amount of money, if bitcoin replaces the global narrow currency issuance, each bitcoin is worth at least half a million dollars, but now it has been hovering around ten dollars, and the confidence of users who have just come in is extremely low."

"Let me be a banker to speculate on Bitcoin? Interesting, interesting. Qin Shengrong was happy when he heard the two prices of 500,000 US dollars and 10 US dollars, and his brain became better and better, "Then how do we cooperate with each other?" ”

"I'm seven, you're three!" Liu Weiping gestured with his hand, and Qin Shengrong secretly scolded in his heart, the old thing's heart was really black, "Professor Liu, you are too ruthless, right?" ”

"Mr. Qin, if you don't do it, I can find someone else to cooperate."

"Professor Liu, I can do it without you!" Qin Shengrong has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is not afraid of Liu Weiping slandering him, "I think Wuwu is the fairest." ”

"Then five or five", Liu Weiping didn't want Qin Shengrong to see his true purpose, so he deliberately asked for a price, Liu Weiping is no longer the scholar who was high twenty years ago, nor the sloppy whistleblower ten years ago, let alone the teacher who was indifferent to fame and fortune three years ago, he wants to give it a go again in his lifetime, he is unwilling to give up the last chance, he wants to hold Qin Shengrong firmly in his hands.

Qin Shengrong quickly bought a mining machine to start mining, in 2013, bitcoin mining has risen in the world, bitcoin production is getting slower and slower, Qin Shengrong set up a standard factory mining machine, only a few dozen bitcoins a day, calculated is not enough to pay the electricity bill.

He found Liu Weiping and asked, Liu Weiping smiled, "Mr. Qin, where did you go to the methods of speculating on giant squares back then?" Why don't you set up an exchange that can both trade and absorb goods? ”

Qin Shengrong suddenly understood, he quickly invested in the establishment of a bitcoin trading platform company called Zongheng, at this time Bitcoin was falling from the price of two hundred dollars, and the buyers were not active, which fulfilled Qin Shengrong, he took over all the way to absorb goods, the price was always higher than other platforms, and the fame of Zongheng gradually started, and the volume was getting bigger and bigger.

All parties also paid attention to this new thing, and even the news network also reported on Bitcoin in detail, and now Qin Shengrong embarked on a free ride, without spending much effort at all, and the price of Bitcoin rose all the way. The market is good, Qin Shengrong is bold, he buys and sells himself, and with the help of the general trend, Zongheng has become the platform with the largest domestic trading volume, and by the end of the year, the price of Bitcoin on Zongheng has rushed towards the 8,000 yuan mark.

Every time Qin Shengrong informed Liu Weiping of the price and trading volume of Zongheng, Liu Weiping was always very happy, and kept repeating that 3 million pieces were just around the corner, and Qin Shengrong was also as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and kept issuing instructions to let Zongheng's maintenance personnel push up the price.

Bitcoin holders on the market are also waiting for the price to sell, few people sell, a huge number of buyers have set their sights on the mining machine, according to such a price trend, mining is definitely a profitable thing, Liu Weiping's goal has been achieved, the mining machine has been fried to more than 100,000 units, and even the price of the graphics card has doubled, so it is still in short supply, the computing capacity of the entire Bitcoin network has risen rapidly, looking at the speed of the progress bar.

Liu Weiping was in a good mood, facing the computer alone, humming the folk song that Zhang Cuiying sang in the commune on the day she entered the door, "When the sedan chair arrives at the door, the happy cannon sounds all over the day, and I dress up and wear a big red shirt." I stepped on my shoes, my brother and sister-in-law hugged me, pretending not to dry my tears, and my father's eyes were sour at first sight. Oops, I got on the sedan chair and only scolded the sedan chair class for walking slowly. ”

Just as he was complacent, there was a knock on the door, "Who?" Why are you knocking on the door late? Liu Weiping turned off the computer and opened the door while asking, the door opened, Liu Weiping was stunned, it was Zhao Yonggang.

Zhao Yong has just been released from prison, the original split has become an inch head, and he has lost a lot of weight, "Professor Liu, it's so late to disturb." Liu Weiping had a ghost in his heart, and hurriedly let Zhao Yonggang into the living room, "Professor Liu, the house is good, and it's worth a thousand dollars now, right?" ”

Liu Weiping thought that he was afraid that he was looking for trouble, he quietly stood in the direction of Chaoyangtai, there was a fitness arm strength machine outside, he had to be prepared for the unexpected, "Yonggang, I have offended you all these years, the teacher is busy with school affairs, and he has not gone to see you", Liu Weiping felt weak in his heart, and his tone became abnormal.

"Teacher, don't blame yourself, it's the students who have embarrassed you, if you don't repent at the beginning, if you listen to you, it won't be the current situation."

It seems that Zhao Yonggang didn't know that he reported it, Liu Wei calmed down, asked Zhao Yonggang to sit down, poured two glasses of water, and sat down too, "Yonggang, what are your plans to come out now?" ”

"Teacher, I've been in it for eight years, and I'm out of touch with the outside, just come out now and have something to eat, I don't know how the teacher is now, is there a chance?" Zhao Yonggang looked at Liu Weiping, and his eyes made Liu Weiping embarrassed again.

"Hey, it's a long story, the teacher has already left Jufang", Liu Weiping introduced the reorganization of Jufang and the encounter of "Star Wars" to Zhao Yonggang, "Now there is a chance, Qin Shengrong, who is your good brother, has built a bitcoin trading platform, which is very popular, or I recommend you to go over?" ”

"Okay, you can do anything!" Zhao Yonggang didn't ask what Bitcoin was, and agreed in one bite.
