Chapter 202 Two Pizzas Worth of Bitcoin

A few days later, it was around nine in the morning.

Wang Chengguang, wearing a mask and a hat, was jogging along the streets of Beijing. Not far behind him was a nanny car, which contained Wang Manni, several female assistants and bodyguards.

This is convenient for quick response in case Wang Chengguang is recognized by citizens on the roadside and causes a blockade.

At this stage, from his big exposure in February to his fourth place on the Forbes mainland rich list in November...

After so long, his popularity on the Internet has spread far and wide.

At least in recent days, news about him has not even made it into the top 20 of Weibo's hot search list. So after exercising in the villa for a long time, he wanted to change the environment and roam around in the big city again.

As I was running, just after I passed the next intersection, my phone rang.

When he caught it, he saw that it was Wang Manni, who answered the call, "Brother Guang, Dalong is back from Hong Kong Island. He has already got off the plane and is on his way to Spark Media."

Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "Got it, let's go to the media headquarters now."

He turned and ran all the way to the China World Trade Center. When they arrived, Zhang Dalong also got out of the car. The two sides met in front of the building. Zhang Dalong first smiled and called him brother, then handed him a bag and whispered, "The bitcoins you asked me to get are on several hard drives."

"There are 12,000 passwords on one hard drive. Wow, every one of them is so long. Luckily I took screenshots and photos. If I had copied them out by hand, I would have gotten dizzy."

"What the hell is this? The password is too damn long."

At the end of August, Zhang Dalong's cousin found out that one of his girlfriends, Xiao Zhou, was pregnant. He went back to deal with it and even called the police...

At the end of the incident, three people who claimed to be paparazzi were caught. They had placed eavesdropping or secret filming equipment in different hotels where he had stayed.

The two of them once recorded a short video of Zhang Dalong doing something like that.

Fortunately, Zhang Dalong and his girlfriend are not very extravagant. They were having sex in bed, which was covered, so not much was captured in the video. In the summer, it is quite cool in a big hotel suite with the air conditioner on.

Even afterwards, my girlfriend would go up and down wrapped in a bath towel.

Wang Chengguang could only say... the three gossip paparazzi were all sent to jail, the short video was recovered by the police, and the hotel he stayed in was of a high standard.

One of the people who was secretly photographed, Zhang Dalong's beautiful, rich girlfriend insisted on suing the hotel. After all, the suites cost more than 2009 yuan a night, and it was only , and the purchasing power of the RMB was still very good.

No matter how this happens, we will sue the paparazzi and focus on suing the hotel.

Don’t worry about the process or what the court will decide.

As long as the case is ongoing and the online momentum is bigger, the hotel's name will be stared at on the pillar of shame! In a certain period of time, it will become the shadow list of all online travel and hotel stays.

Even if the court may order the hotel to apologize to Zhang Dalong, apologize to other customers, and compensate Zhang Dalong several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan, such an outcome would not mean anything to the hotel.

The sudden popularity online has caused netizens to dislike their brand of hotels, and rejection is the core explosive force.

In the end, each hotel privately compensated Zhang Dalong with a house, one with three bedrooms and one living room in Beijing, and two in Zhengzhou, basically all large apartments with four bedrooms and two living rooms.

Zhang Dalong said he was so happy with the money he made that he never dreamed he could make money this way.

After complaining about what Bitcoin is, without waiting for Wang Chengguang to reply, he was so excited that he danced with joy, "Three big houses! If I were a real ordinary person, an ordinary netizen, I would not be able to get such compensation."

"Even if ordinary netizens sue a large hotel group, they can spend a small amount of money to suppress the popularity online or even suppress the news."

"Because I'm your cousin, they know you well. They can't compare with you on the Internet, so they compensated me for the house so readily, right? Xiao Zhou still wants to give birth to the child, but we won't get married. I'll give her one of the two four-bedroom, two-living-room houses in Zheng City, and she'll be satisfied and stop making trouble."

"Xiao Lin said he could help arrange for the child's residence. So Xiao Zhou settled down in Zhengzhou before he even graduated."

Wang Chengguang, “…”

He didn't know what to say. It seemed like his little cousin had won again without any effort.

When he was walking towards the elevator, he spoke, "Why did you break up with Xiao Zhou?"

Zhang Dalong coughed awkwardly. "She disliked my lack of ambition and told me many times to work hard. If I didn't work hard, how could I stay in Zhengzhou after graduation and buy a house and start a family? I just didn't change, and we eventually broke up."

"Although I was quite angry at the time, it was too early to urge me to work hard before I graduated. When she found out that you were my brother and we had broken up for several months, but she hadn't dated anyone else, she came back to attack me, and I couldn't help it."

"I can continue to eat Xiaolin's gigolo now. Why should I work so hard? I have never been that kind of person since I was a child. After repeating my senior year of high school for two years, I was admitted to a second-tier university. I knew that I would never achieve anything in my life. I thought I looked okay, so I planned to eat his gigolo for a long time."

“I just didn’t expect my dream to come true so quickly.”

Not to mention Wang Chengguang, Wang Manni, including the female assistant, bodyguards and so on, all looked at him in a crowd.

Zhang Dalong looked around proudly, "Am I not handsome?"

No one paid any attention to him, and several people wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

If he were placed among ordinary people, he could really be called the school hunk. Standing next to Wang Chengguang and saying this, his height, appearance, figure, temperament, etc. are far superior to others.

After a while, when Wang Chengguang entered the president's office, he took out the hard drives from his bag and said, "Sixty thousand bitcoins, let's hoard them first."

This is when he was with one of his own people who was more conspicuous. He ordered his cousin to go to Hong Kong Island to operate an excavator and slowly dig out the money. He also stayed in a hotel, and his beautiful and wealthy girlfriend Xiaolin followed him, which was equivalent to a business trip on public funds.

The next moment he looked at Zhang Dalong, "Did you do it to yourself?"

Zhang Dalong laughed, took the tea from Gu Jingjing and thanked her, then scratched his head, "This thing can mine thousands of them a day using a computer, and I also left more than a thousand for myself."

"It's mainly because it's too painful. The password has too many digits. Even taking pictures makes me dizzy."

Wang Chengguang nodded, "Then keep it. It's useless in the short term. Don't tell anyone about it."

Zhang Dalong nodded repeatedly, "If there is nothing else, I will go to your company to take a look?"

Wang Chengguang nodded again and ran out to play. To be honest, many of the internet celebrities on Yixinghuo still have different levels of charm. He planned to take photos with Xu Hongdou, Zhu Suosuo and others and ask for their autographs.

It doesn’t matter to ordinary internet celebrities, and he doesn’t chase stars, but the future Olympic superstar is really different.

After Zhang Dalong disappeared, Wang Chengguang handed the hard drive to Wang Manni and said, "Take one for each of you. Each of you will get 12,000 bitcoins for now. Keep them."

Wang Manni, "??? What is this? Currency???"

Wang Chengguang laughed and said, "Virtual currency is similar to the game coins in various games. It was born purely on the Internet and cannot be regulated." Wang Manni stared at Wang Chengguang for dozens of seconds, and she felt shy. Then she turned her face away and complained, "You beast, you want to like me again? What can this game coin be used for?"

Wang Chengguang explained speechlessly, "Except for Xiaowei, I never mess around in the company. You know that. I will explain it to you in the simplest terms. Because the government of each country cannot supervise, whether it is dirty money from corruption and bribery, black money from gambling and drug transactions, or various black money from human trafficking and organ trafficking..."

"This thing is a natural money laundering tool that turns dirty money into clean money. Sooner or later, it will be targeted by capital. But it is useless if we take too much. If we grab too much Bitcoin, capital will create the next virtual currency to replace it."

The theoretical upper limit of Bitcoin is 2100 million, and he only has tens of thousands of them, which can be easily cashed out during the hot period.

It's magical to say, but in 2024 when he traveled through, the highest amount of this thing was equal to 50 RMB, and 60 was equal to billion RMB.

Converted into US dollars, one coin is worth 60,000 to 70,000 US dollars.

It's outrageous to the extreme!
Wang Manni was stunned and shocked, "Money laundering??"

Wang Chengguang laughed and said, "This is all hyped up by European and American capital, including Hong Kong and Macau. It will form a big trend. You can divide the things and stockpile them without waiting for the price to rise slowly. I'm going to take a shower."

He had done morning exercises for several hours, and the clothes he wore were soaked from the inside out during the outdoor marathon.

The only good thing is that with Wang Chengguang's current physical condition, he doesn't need to wear thermal underwear, just autumn clothes, autumn pants and autumn sportswear. His physical fitness is getting further and further into the stage of Taoism, and he has become immune to cold and heat.

Whether the temperature in the capital city is below zero or above zero in winter, he doesn't feel cold at all even in a vest and big shorts.

What made Wang Chengguang even more speechless was that Wang Manni ran in while he was still taking a shower in the inner room. "Can you tell me more about money laundering? I'll rub your back..."

Wang Manni is also very adept at some things.

At worst, I can just take an hour longer.

………………

It's about eleven o'clock at noon.

Wang Manni arrived at the door of Yang Tao's office with a hard drive. Seeing Yang Tao chatting with Xu Hongdou, she knocked on the door with a smile, "Sister Taozi, I'm returning the hard drive I borrowed from you now."

It’s not convenient to say so much since we are with outsiders, but the details can be settled by sending a WeChat message later.

After she walked over and put the hard drive on the desk, she looked at Xu Hongdou curiously, "Today is Thursday, Hongdou, you don't have school?"

Xu Hongdou smiled politely, "Since I started to pursue sports, the school has given me no attention. After all, I majored in hotel management..."

"It doesn't matter to me whether I get the diploma or not. If I can have the opportunity to represent the national team in the Olympics, why would I bother managing a hotel?"

"My four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment outside the East Third Ring Road has been renovated and has been in use for a month or two. My grandma and parents will come over during the Christmas and New Year holidays this year. There is heating inside and they plan to spend the winter in Beijing. I'm inviting Sister Taozi to stay with me for two nights and try out the bed."

At this point, Xu Hongdou sighed, "Nanxing and I live in that community, and the housing prices there are higher than the average market price outside the East Third Ring Road. Not to mention that there was a period of time when many people bought houses at a premium in Hopson International."

“I have a little trend over there, too.”

This is easy to understand. How many people want to make friends with Wang Chengguang? How many people want to secretly take photos of him and interview him? When he lived in Hopson International, too many properties changed owners every now and then.

You said Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing are just internet celebrities?
You must make one thing clear: it was Gu Jia, who was studying at Shanghai International Studies University, who started a trend that becoming an internet celebrity can easily make a lot of money, and this was educated on the entire network.

It doesn’t matter whether you pursue it or not. If you know a big internet celebrity, you may become famous by relying on his popularity. Once you become famous, you will have the opportunity to make a lot of money! !
With Xu Hongdou's 1700 million fans, she is a walking new star-making machine. She can easily make ordinary people famous. After all, she is already a rising sports Olympic star.

Wang Manni chatted with Yang Tao for a few more words with a smile, then gave him a few glances before leaving.

Yang Tao also pushed for the job of pressing the bed for the new house, but she introduced Lan Weiwei and Mile, the deep gaming nerd...

After dealing with Xu Hongdou, Yang Tao grabbed his phone and sent a WeChat message, "What's on the hard drive?"

Two minutes later, Wang Chengguang replied, "Bitcoin is a virtual currency. If you hoard it for a few years or ten years, it will appreciate in value."

Yang Tao responded even faster, "I already said I don't want your money. Just spend more time with me and don't always think about contradicting me."

Wang Chengguang, who was having a meal in the big office, was speechless. He replied again that it was only worth two pizzas now, and then he didn't pay much attention to it.

In the big office, Zhang Dalong, who was also eating at work, couldn't stop eating. While eating, he sighed, "I don't think this is scientific at all, even if you are one of the top students in our county."

"It's fine that he founded the Spark Group in such a short time, but he can also master cooking skills? Forget it, I'm too lazy to waste brain cells on things I can't figure out. By the way, brother, how much can I get for my more than a thousand bitcoins if I sell them now?"

Wang Chengguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "One tenth of a pizza?"

Zhang Dalong almost choked, coughed and patted himself several times, staring, "This is too cheap. Even if there is a lot of room for appreciation in the future, how much can it appreciate? Even if it increases a thousand times, it's only a hundred pizzas."

"I was thinking that if I had the chance to go to Hong Kong Island again, I would be patient and dig up more to stockpile."

Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "I support your idea, but it will be difficult to cash out if you mine too much. It's very complicated."

Zhang Dalong hurriedly drank a few more sips of water and nodded, "Then next time I go there to eat my rich girlfriend's free food, I'll calculate how many people there are in our family and give them 100 each. If I get more than that, I really can't afford it. It's too painful to take pictures and store them."

Wang Chengguang smiled brightly, "Okay, let's go have fun after you're full. Now you're staying in a hotel in Beijing. I feel like you'll be on the hotel industry's super whitelist. No matter where you go, you'll be checked in advance by the hotel's related departments to see if you've been eavesdropped or secretly photographed."

Zhang Dalong's eyes lit up, "How can I continue to hang out in the house when I'm being eavesdropped on and secretly filmed?"

…………

Wait until he has eaten and drunk his fill, then take two bottles of drinks and leave.

Wang Manni said, "Now a hard drive is only worth two pizzas? This is considered money laundering and capital speculation... It will take a long time for the price to go up? You don't plan to leave it to our future children, do you?"

Wang Chengguang, “…”

He could only say that his girlfriend didn’t understand what capital manufacturing was! !

Capital can create stars with traffic that overwhelms a bunch of veteran actors who have been in the industry for their entire lives, and capital can create a sea of ​​diamonds that can make men and women all over the world cry.

Judas can remind the world of moustaches.

Capital creates virtual currency? In 2010, 2024 coins were worth two pizzas. In 40, 50 coins would be worth or billion RMB.
