"My dad has a friend who's really into this stuff. He told me a lot about it when he was drunk once. I didn't quite understand it, but it sounded really impressive."
"He said he started playing this back in 2010. He bought it when it was less than four dollars, and now it's already risen to 13 US dollars each. US dollars!" "Qin Tian, you know a lot about this. Do you think this thing has potential?" Wang Hao asked him seriously. Qin Tian pondered for a moment and replied with a smile, "I've only heard of this. It's quite different from stock investment." "Then..." Wang Hao looked at him expectantly. Qin Tian directly interrupted him, saying, "In any investment, risk and return are always proportional. If this thing has such high returns, the risk must be exaggerated. Playing this requires a big heart." "I know that." "My advice is, if you have a big heart, you can ignore its fluctuations. You might as well buy a little and hold it long-term. The investment cost now isn't high. It might bring big surprises." "Really?" Wang Hao's eyes lit up, and he became excited. "Now that you've mentioned it, I've decided to look into it when I get back. If it works out, I'll buy some to play with." Qin Tian said with a smile. In his previous life, he wasn't in the investment industry and didn't pay much attention to Bitcoin. But by chance, when he was in the workplace, a colleague often talked about it. The reason was that when this colleague was still in college, a relative who played this made some money and wanted to bring their whole family along to get rich. However, his parents were very conservative traditional workers. They completely disagreed with this kind of investment and found it unreliable, so they refused. After he started working, that relative was already a billionaire, living in a seaside mansion, driving a luxury sports car, and often accompanied by different young and beautiful girls. Because of this, his colleague, who was earning a few thousand yuan a month at the time, would often lament about this, complaining that his parents were too conservative and missed the opportunity to get rich, thus losing the enviable status of being a "second-generation rich." Qin Tian sat at the desk next to this colleague and heard him complain so much that his ears were almost worn out. Therefore, he vaguely remembered some of the major turning points of Bitcoin. It seemed that it was around this year that Bitcoin would usher in its first historical surge. By November of this year, the price had exceeded a thousand US dollars, which was about eight thousand yuan each. Because he had already earned enough money during this period and didn't lack funds, he hadn't carefully recalled this matter. Now that Wang Hao reminded him, he recalled this unbelievable opportunity to get rich today. Since he remembered it, of course, he wouldn't miss it. Of course, he didn't plan to buy too much. Bitcoin has a fixed total supply, seemingly set at 21 million coins. As time passes, the quantity gradually increases, and the current amount is still not much. If Qin Tian were too greedy, with his current funds, he could buy a considerable amount of Bitcoin. Once the price of Bitcoin surged, it could potentially attract unnecessary trouble. Making money was secondary; his safety and the peaceful and happy lives of himself and those around him were his greatest dreams after rebirth. "Qin Tian, you're right. Then I'll just buy a little to play with. It's not expensive now anyway!" Wang Hao immediately made up his mind when he heard that Qin Tian was also planning to buy it. "Hope we get rich together." Qin Tian smiled and raised his glass. "Haha... Okay, let's get rich together." Wang Hao laughed heartily and clinked glasses with him. "What are you two talking about, getting rich together?" Wang Lingyue, sitting opposite them, asked curiously. Xia Nuannuan also looked at them with curiosity in her eyes. "Auntie, you're too curious. I won't tell you now. I'll tell you when we actually get rich." Wang Hao said solemnly. "Hmph... If you don't want to say it, then don't. I don't want to know anyway. What good idea for making big money could you possibly have?" Wang Lingyue pouted dismissively. "Hey... Qin Tian, listen to this. My aunt and my dad are like this. They always belittle me whenever they get a chance, making it sound like I only laze around and wait for death." Wang Hao complained to Qin Tian indignantly. "Otherwise? What else can you do besides playing games?" Wang Lingyue questioned him contemptuously, nodding towards Qin Tian. "Look at Qin Tian, and then look at yourself. Let's not talk about anything else, but at least find yourself a proper girlfriend and have a nephew for me to hold!" "Auntie, you're over thirty and still don't have a partner. How dare you talk about me? Isn't this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?" "Get lost, I just turned thirty, okay? What do you mean over thirty, you want to die? Haven't you heard that a woman at thirty is a flower?" "Tsk tsk... Then why don't you find a boyfriend? You can't possibly expect me, a junior, to get ahead of you, right? I'm waiting for you to get married first, and I've waited until my flowers have withered." "Shut up. Don't think you can do whatever you want because Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan are here. If you make one more 'tsk' sound, I'll deal with you!" The female CEO's aura was fully unleashed, and Wang Hao immediately became subdued, burying his head in his food and daring not to speak. Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan, watching this scene, almost burst into laughter, struggling to hold back their giggles. "Come on, come on, Xiao Qin, keep drinking. Ignore him. His alcohol tolerance is too low, and he talks nonsense when he's drunk." Wang Lingyue raised her glass and persuaded him to drink, changing the subject. Qin Tian stifled a chuckle and nodded, raising his glass to toast her from a distance. After the meal, Wang Hao's alcohol tolerance was indeed poor, and he was quite drunk. He stumbled when he stood up, but fortunately, Qin Tian quickly helped him steady himself. "Look at your embarrassing state, you've only had two drinks!" Wang Lingyue glared at him and stood up gracefully. The business world is like a battlefield, and there are always social obligations like this. Her alcohol tolerance was naturally very high. "I, I'm not drunk, I can stand steady!" Wang Hao said stubbornly with a flushed face, his speech already slurred. Wang Lingyue ignored him, walked over, and said, "Xiao Qin, let me help!" "No need, President Wang, I can help him. We'll talk about it downstairs." Qin Tian smiled and politely declined. "I... I'm not drunk, I don't need anyone to help me!" Wang Hao struggled to push Qin Tian away, swayed, and almost fell again. Qin Tian steadied him again and said with a chuckle, "Brother Wang, I'm a bit dizzy from drinking. Could you help me?" "Then... then that's fine!" "Let's go, let's go downstairs first." "Okay, okay!" Wang Hao nodded unsteadily. Qin Tian and the other two smiled helplessly and went downstairs together.
