Chapter 25 I'm Giving You a Chance to Get Rich Quick
"Achoo!"
Achoo!
Ye Kai sat cross-legged on the sofa, wrapped in a thick wool blanket and with a towel on his head. From a distance, he looked like a woman in postpartum confinement. These sneezes made him feel like his heart, liver, and lungs were about to burst out.
"You child..."
Professor Xu shook his head repeatedly after reading it.
"Glug glug—"
In the kitchen on the first floor, a clay pot was simmering a soup of red dates, dried ginger, and licorice root, and the rich aroma was already wafting out.
Last night, Ye Kai ran out to join the rescue team into the mountains, but he still caught a cold.
Although his young body couldn't be described as frail, it was nowhere near the steely, resilient physique he would later develop through the trials of society, so it was quite normal for him to catch a cold.
"Brother, it's time to take your medicine."
"Isn't it satisfying to be a hero and save a damsel in distress?"
Wearing a light green cashmere turtleneck sweater, Shen Jiayi walked steadily out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of freshly made ginger soup, and asked Ye Kai a question with a hint of teasing.
"Of course it feels great, but it's not as great as catching a cold, it's more of a tangy, unpleasant feeling."
"I've made up my mind. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to start exercising."
Ye Kai frowned, picked up the bowl of ginger soup filled with Shen Jiayi's love, and gulped it down in one go.
He truly hadn't expected Shen Mingsun to be so talkative, actually telling his daughter Shen Jiayi about his glorious deeds of following the rescue team into the mountains last night. He also hadn't expected to catch a cold.
What was most unpleasant was that Shen Jiayi, who had come to his door to serve him, ridiculed him from every angle.
All that talk about childhood sweethearts, unrequited love, and childhood sweethearts is just a euphemism for calling him a simp.
Of course, Miss Shen also had her own way of serving people. At least she was very proper and steady, and she didn't make his illness worse. This made Ye Kai look at her with new eyes. He thought to himself that it was no wonder she could handle the madams in nightclubs later on. She did have some extraordinary talent in this area.
"I ordered mutton soup from Xinghualou at noon and asked the chef to add various Chinese medicinal herbs to it. It should be very helpful for your cold."
Shen Jiayi is ultimately a soft-hearted goddess.
Although she occasionally takes control of the laws of the compass, she is mostly very good to Ye Kai, especially when Ye Kai's body is relatively weak, she takes meticulous care of him.
The sweating effect of the ginger soup was a bit beyond expectations. Ye Kai felt his whole body start to heat up after drinking it, so he loosened the small blanket he was wrapped in tightly and immediately felt much more comfortable.
Thanks!
"In return, how about I show you a way to get rich quick!"
He felt he didn't want to owe Shen Jiayi this favor, so he made the suggestion.
"What's the way to get rich quick?"
Shen Jiayi didn't mind Ye Kai having a cold, since colds aren't contagious anyway.
She was sitting on the side of the sofa with her phone, scrolling through QQ chat groups with great interest. When she heard Ye Kai speak, she immediately asked him a question with some interest.
If Ye Kai hadn't just doubled her allowance, Shen Jiayi definitely wouldn't have believed he had such great abilities.
Have you heard of...Bitcoin?
Ye Kai wrapped the small blanket around himself, turned his head to look at Professor Xu who was studying shadow puppetry materials in the distance, then leaned closer to Shen Jiayi mysteriously and asked in a low voice.
"What is...currency?"
Shen Jiayi didn't hear Ye Kai's words clearly, but after a moment of surprise, she asked in return.
"Bitcoin is not Shakespeare, it's just a digital virtual currency."
"Why don't you use your pocket money to buy some Bitcoin and hoard it?"
Ye Kai glanced at Shen Jiayi, who was completely clueless about digital currency, and gave her his advice directly.
"Never heard of it."
"Is this product reliable? I feel like someone's trying to sell it to me."
Shen Jiayi shook her head, her eyes full of vigilance.
"Believe it or not, I've shown you the way."
Ye Kai stretched and loosened the small blanket slightly to let out some of the heat.
Whether a reborn person is invincible is unknown, but they are certainly lonely. Even if you tell others the truth, not everyone will agree with your vision that transcends the times.
In fact, most people would simply dismiss such prophetic pronouncements as absurd and outlandish.
Who would have thought that Bitcoin, which is now worth only $0.5 a coin, would skyrocket to $100000 a coin ten years later?
He gave Shen Jiayi the opportunity to become rich overnight; whether she can seize it depends entirely on her own choice.
Ye Kai himself had thought it through very clearly. With such a large Bitcoin market, what was wrong with Shen Jiayi casually hoarding a few hundred or a thousand?
Otherwise, with her tiny brain, she might end up as an older single woman, and if she has a bad idea and marries the wrong person, like a husband who beats her every day, she'll have a miserable life.
As her brother from a later generation, Ye Kai felt it was absolutely necessary to help her on crucial issues and leave her a way out where she wouldn't have to depend on anyone else. This was completely reasonable and entirely a pure feeling unrelated to romantic love.
"Let me take a look at... the situation with Bitcoin first."
Shen Jiayi is a woman of action, and she immediately started searching for information about Bitcoin on her phone.
Domestic News: Bitcoin, a new type of electronic scam in the digital age!
"Relevant departments have begun to pay attention to the problems existing in Bitcoin 'mining' companies, such as consuming large amounts of resources and fueling investment speculation, etc..."
"Due to Bitcoin's decentralized nature, its trading and circulation are difficult to effectively regulate by traditional financial regulatory agencies. This makes the Bitcoin market susceptible to market manipulation, fraud, and other illegal activities, making it difficult to fully protect investors' rights and increasing the risks of investing in Bitcoin."
"The legality and compliance of Bitcoin remain controversial in many countries, the policy environment is constantly changing, and the legality of its transactions is still unclear. This has had a negative impact on the development of the Bitcoin market, causing its price to fluctuate rapidly and making investors more cautious about investing in Bitcoin..."
"Domestic investors have suffered heavy losses investing in Bitcoin!"
"Goodness, all I see are negative news stories!"
You wouldn't believe it until you see it! Shen Jiayi stared wide-eyed at the search results on her phone screen, thinking to herself, "What kind of crazy thing is Ye Kai doing? It's like playing with fire!"
"Fortune favors the bold."
"If you look at the value of this thing a year ago, you can probably understand why there are so many negative reports about it."
After sweating from the ginger soup, Ye Kai felt that his cold symptoms had lessened considerably, especially the feeling of heaviness in his head and lightness in his feet, which had completely disappeared. However, he felt somewhat weak and lethargic all over.
Strictly speaking, this thing was invented with ill intentions, and some people speculate that Bitcoin was created as an electronic scam to harvest the wealth of Chinese people.
Unfortunately, the domestic authorities are more sophisticated and do not recognize the legality of Bitcoin, so they can only stir up trouble overseas, turning it into the equivalent of dark web transactions.
"If you want to play, you can use a Hong Kong Island bank account to make the transaction, or you can buy it directly on Taobao."
"Then change the key, save it on a mechanical hard drive, make several backups, and then leave it alone."
"Ten years from now, I'll guarantee you financial freedom."
Ye Kai shared his operating tips with Shen Jiayi, who was still hesitant and half-believing.
But who would believe that?
