Chapter 311 Only today did you know that I am me
Liu Jiankai stood on the rooftop.
The night was gloomy and the rain was hiding in the clouds, ready to come.
Liu Jiankai overlooked the night view of New York, pondering his fate and thinking about life.
After a long time, he couldn't help but want to see the traffic below more clearly.
"Hey, Mr. Liu!"
A voice came from behind.
Liu Jiankai was startled and came back to his senses from his trance, and saw Mr. Yu walking up to him.
"What are you doing?" Yu Xing asked naturally, "I looked for you for a while and then I found out that you came upstairs to enjoy the night view."
Liu Jiankai remained silent.
Yu Xing stood nearby, looking at the bright lights and nightlife of New York, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's great, standing here and looking around, so much money is pouring in from all over the world, some are ambitious, some are waiting for an opportunity, and some are sad."
Liu Jiankai was dejected.
"Oh, yes, Mentougou has moved to Tokyo." Yu Xing seemed to be slow to realize the news, and asked with concern, "I've been busy with the IPO recently and haven't discussed this with you. How are you? Are you not going to jump off the building tonight?"
Liu Jiankai was dejected +2.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Yu Xing continued to talk: "One million US dollars is indeed a lot, alas, but at least I can make a comeback..."
Liu Jiankai closed his eyes and interrupted painfully: "It's 120 million US dollars..."
Yu Xing was really shocked this time: "No! I remember clearly that you said it was 100 million US dollars last time!"
"It fluctuated during this period, I, I wanted to try to rebound..." Liu Jiankai muttered, "I didn't expect it to fall after a bounce..."
Last month, MyBitcoin, which served as an independent Bitcoin wallet, was completely shut down, and user funds could not be recovered, further triggering a decline in Bitcoin prices.
Yu Xing didn't expect Liu Jiankai to continue his operations. After a moment of silence, he felt that he already had the temperament of a gambler.
He handed over a cigarette and sighed, "Hey, Mr. Liu, hey, you... I can understand how you feel now."
Liu Jiankai lit up a cigarette, took a deep puff, and said with a wry smile: "You are the boss of a listed company, how can you understand my feelings?"
He took another puff and suddenly a guess popped up: "Mr. Yu, did you buy it too?"
Yu Xing shook his head: "No, but if it continues to fall, I will open an account to save the market."
Liu Jiankai was choked: "You haven't even opened an account yet!"
Yu Xing said: "No, Mentougou is a bit troublesome. Hey, Mr. Liu, I regret mentioning Bitcoin to you now. It's all my fault."
"I don't blame you, I blame myself." Liu Jiankai was not unreasonable, nor did he vent his anger on others. He just said gloomily, "It's my own fault that I didn't have the willpower to control myself. I thought I could get a chance to quickly increase my wealth with my ability and analysis, but now it seems... Oh, forget it, I won't say it anymore."
"Mr. Liu, since you've come this far, just keep it." Yu Xing advised, "As long as you don't sell it, you won't lose money."
Liu Jiankai smoked his cigarette with big puffs, feeling extremely irritated and depressed.
"How is the person I asked you to find for me? Why is there no news from him?" Yu Xing asked about another thing.
Liu Jiankai said in a muffled voice, "We only found a few clues. It was said that he was in Chinatown in New York before, but then he disappeared. We don't know which city he went to, or where he hid. We have to continue investigating."
Yu Xing hummed and looked at the night view again, hoping that his senior brother knew that he was still thinking about him.
Liu Jiankai knew about the money scam and noticed Mr. Yu's expression. He asked, "What if we find the person?"
Yu Xing pondered, "His whole family has left China. He cheated me of my money and many other people's money, and then enjoyed himself abroad. I want to see if someone can cheat him and his whole family of their money as well, and then see if he can get back on his feet."
"What if he gets up?" Liu Jiankai couldn't help but ask.
Yu Xing smiled and said, "If he can get up, I will admire him very much."
He continued, “In that case, I’ll pay a little more money and see if I can get him to Africa to mine.”
Liu Jiankai didn't smile, but he could feel the seriousness of Mr. Yu's smile.
He didn't know what the final outcome would be, he only knew that the senior brother who had cheated Mr. Yu out of his money must be far less wealthy than Mr. Yu now, and money can generate tremendous power.
"Boss Liu, please keep an eye on this matter for me. If you find the person, don't alarm him. Just tell me." Yu Xing explained the matter to Liu Jiankai seriously, so that he would have something to worry about. He then said, "Boss Liu, I think you have almost lost all your money. This 120 million US dollars is indeed a lot, but many industries in our country are developing rapidly. You may not be unable to make more money in the future. There is no need to be so dejected now."
Liu Jiankai smoked silently without saying anything.
"Just like Song Yufeng, look at the value of the shares he holds. Mr. Liu, who do you think has higher ability, him or you?" Yu Xing asked lightly.
Liu Jiankai extinguished his cigarette and sighed, "I have fallen to the point of competing with Song Yufeng."
He shook his head: "Forget it, no matter what sins I committed in my previous life, I can pay them off by playing with coins in this life. I will sell them all tomorrow. At worst, I can start all over again. I will go talk to Mr. Xu and go back to Capital Today to be a slave!"
"Hey, don't sell it, Mr. Liu. Why sell it? You've already suffered such a huge loss. What's the point of selling it?" Yu Xing tried to persuade him, who would definitely regret making this decision.
Liu Jiankai said seriously: "No! Sell it! Turn over a new leaf and become a new man! What I am selling is not the coins, but my luck and arrogance! Only by selling those things can I face the real me!"
Yu Xing looked at Liu Jiankai who was making a solemn promise, and hesitated to speak. He was afraid that if he sold out this time, he would not be able to face his true self in the future...
He thought about it and asked, "Well, do you really have to sell it?"
Liu Jiankai nodded with certainty.
"Then sell it to me." Yu Xing sighed, "If you sell it to others, you won't be able to find a place to cry when you want to. If you sell it to me, you can find me when you want to cry."
Liu Jiankai shook his head slightly: "Mr. Yu, thank you. They say a friend in need is a friend indeed. Alas, you don't have to pay a premium to buy these junk."
Yu Xing readily agreed: "Okay, no premium, just the market price."
Raindrops began to fall from the clouds in the night sky.
Liu Jiankai reached out to catch two raindrops and said hesitantly, "Mr. Yu, you don't play with this, you haven't even registered." "Then register." Yu Xing said seriously, "Mr. Liu, you sell it to me and I'll keep it, but I have a small suggestion. MyBitcoin, which acts as a Bitcoin wallet, has been closed. Don't you think making another wallet with a similar function can meet the needs of many people?"
MyBitcoin wallet previously had to be closed due to a system vulnerability that resulted in 51% of user funds being stolen, resulting in a loss of more than 15 bitcoins.
Coincidentally, in June, hackers also exploited a system vulnerability in the Mt. Gox exchange in Mentougou and sold a large number of bitcoins, driving the price down to $6. Although the exchange urgently suspended trading and restored prices, market confidence had already been severely damaged.
Similar situations have had a huge impact on the price of Bitcoin, ultimately leading to a drop of more than 90%.
Liu Jiankai frowned: "Are you saying that we should develop an independent wallet?"
"This wallet is a bit like Alipay," Yu Xing said with a smile. "It's you, not us. Instead of mining, why not create a platform for miners to use? Whether the market goes up or down, you can just take money from it."
Liu Jiankai sighed: "Mr. Yu, you have a good idea, but I will not touch it again, absolutely not again!"
Yu Xing said “hmm” and nodded, “Okay, if you are interested later, I will invest in you with the Bitcoin I bought from you.”
Seeing Mr. Yu's behavior, Liu Jiankai smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Yu, don't waste your money. Just sell it to others and don't talk about investment."
"It's not a waste, it's not a waste. You spent $120 million, and now after taking away 12%, it's only $12." Yu Xing said with a smile, "According to what you said, I only spent $ to help you get rid of your luck and arrogance, and let you face your true self. It's worth it. Besides, don't go back to Capital Today. I have investment work to do here, and I won't treat you unfairly."
Liu Jiankai was silent for a while, then said, "It won't cost 12 US dollars, just..."
Yu Xing interrupted, "It's just the round number of $12. If you think it's too much, just consider it as your signing fee for helping me."
Liu Jiankai looked at Mr. Yu and sighed, "Okay, I'm buying in batches. Now there are about 9.7 coins...Mr. Yu, are you sure you want it?"
When Yu Xing heard this number, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Are you sure you want to sell it?"
Liu Jiankai said disheartenedly: "Sure."
Yu Xing stretched out his right hand: "OK."
Liu Jiankai high-fived Mr. Yu. Although the deal had not been completed yet, he knew that someone like him would never go back on his word. At this moment, he seemed to have found his true self and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Yu, thank you."
Yu Xing didn't speak for a long time.
After a while, he said: "If you regret it one day in the future, these bitcoins will not be returned to you, but will only be invested in you."
Liu Jiankai felt the rain getting heavier, so he stood up and shouted, "I won't regret it!"
He found his true self again in a rainy night in New York!
Throwing bits on the rooftop, today I know who I am!
Yu Xing had nothing to say but to give a thumbs up and express his highest compliment: "Awesome!"
Liu Jiankai abandoned the unrealistic mentality of buying at the bottom and getting rich quickly, consciously cut off all ties with cryptocurrency, and became a worker again. He immediately paid attention to the work he needed to do and asked, "Mr. Yu, you said you have investment work here?"
"Yes, there will be some investment and negotiation for current mobile apps. I feel that you have rich experience in this area." Yu Xing introduced, "Take Zhai Yifei, who came out of Baidu, for example. His app needs to accumulate a large number of users. I hope it can attract traffic from other apps of a certain scale, including but not limited to cash investment, negotiation of cooperation, buying out shareholders, asset restructuring, etc."
Liu Jiankai understood the gist of the matter instantly and summarized it succinctly: "Use both soft and hard tactics."
Yu Xing smiled and praised: "As expected, Mr. Liu is the one who dared to sell 9.7 bitcoins in one go!"
Liu Jiankai didn't think this was a compliment. He shook his head slightly and asked, "Will this be useful? The target sounds like a small company. It may not be able to help Zhai Yifei's app."
"Let's give it a try. I think this is a workable method. Otherwise, can we still invest in WeChat or Weichat? They will definitely not accept it and will take precautions." Yu Xing considered, "Zhai Yifei's app is for hobbies, but hobbies are too scattered. He may still be thinking of ways to optimize Tieba."
“If you want to create a super app, you can’t be decentralized. You have to be able to spread.”
"Mobile Internet is different from the Internet. It is fragmented. I feel that we still need to lean towards the path of comedy. Otherwise, we can only learn from WeChat and Weichat. Their drifting bottles are very popular now, but many people use them to make appointments for sex."
"Red Falcon Capital also invested in Momo, a stranger social networking company. I guess social networking will eventually end up being about ejaculation."
"Zhai Yifei and others need to think carefully about what people can accept and share the most, and how to make use of the fragmented time on the mobile Internet."
Yu Xing talked about his thoughts and finally said: "Anyway, now we just need to verify more. If it doesn't work, we can withdraw or change the skin. There is no need to be afraid of failure."
Liu Jiankai thought about it for a while, gradually regained his perspective as an investor, and felt that what he said made sense.
As he followed Mr. Yu downstairs, he clarified his mission: "I understand. I will lead people to help Zhai Yifei verify the feasibility. If the diversion effect is not good, we will change the diversion direction. But before that, we need to use both soft and hard methods to piece together the traffic that can be diverted."
Yu Xing said, "That's about right. Let's all give it a try. Failure is the mother of success."
Liu Jiankai chatted for a few more sentences and completely understood what Mr. Yu wanted him to do.
In fact, his work at Today Capital did give him this kind of investment experience.
"Mr. Liu, give me a card number and I'll transfer $12 to you." Yu Xing called Liu Jiankai before returning to the room, "We can do an OTC transaction. I see there is a desktop wallet."
Liu Jiankai said without hesitation: "Okay, Mr. Yu, I'll send it to you on WeChat. Well, that's OK, but after it's started, it needs to be synchronized with the blockchain, which may take three to five days."
Yu Xing smiled and said, "No problem. Let me ask you one last question. Are you really going to sell it to me? Do you regret it?"
Liu Jiankai said seriously: "Mr. Yu, I really don't regret selling it."
He said firmly: "No matter how high it goes, I will never regret it!"
Yu Xing spread his hands sincerely: "What can I say?"
Liu Jiankai also said sincerely and firmly: "Bitcoin Out!!"
Yu Xing pursed his lips and encouraged: "Boss Liu, go back and work hard, and you will have plenty of hamburgers."
Liu Jiankai thanked again: "Thank you, Mr. Yu."
The two returned to their rooms.
Liu Jiankai took a nice hot shower and felt that he was refreshed from the inside out after his resolute decision to cut his flesh. This trip to New York was not in vain.
He lay on the soft bed, looking at the ceiling, and said to himself: "It's only $120 million. I can earn it back and even more!"
The colorful world is fascinating, work hard and make a lot of money! I make a lot of money!
