Chapter 11: Trivia

Soon, the 2 million yuan arrived in Ye Tian's account. The two of them stepped outside, and Yu Bing quickly found an excuse to run back inside.

Ye Tian understood. Yu Bing had facilitated these deals, and he earned a commission from every one of them.

His old classmate was sharp, almost too sharp—always taking advantage of every opportunity.

Now, with everything going smoothly, Ye Tian quickly turned the 2 million yuan into Bitcoin with Yu Bing's help.

Watching Yu Bing bustle around for him, acting so attentive, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for him. Real big shots made money effortlessly with just a few words, while small-timers like Yu Bing had to run around, constantly put on a smile, and broker deals, all while begging for whatever commissions they could get, which depended entirely on the mood of the other party.

At home, Ye Dajun and Liu Ping wore smiles from ear to ear. "Ye Tian, your Uncle Wang called and was extremely grateful, thanking you for giving him the car registration in advance. He said the 800,000 debt can be postponed until the end of the year. Now, he doesn’t have to worry. He’ll focus on his current business and surely have the money to repay us by then. You did a great job handling this!"

Ye Tian didn’t say much, simply nodding along as his parents praised him, both boasting about how resourceful their son was.

Thinking about the relative high point for Bitcoin in November, Ye Tian felt energized.

In just four or five months, to double one's assets—this was something most people could only dream of, especially the retail investors who were like fodder in the stock market.

For them, whether they made money or lost it entirely depended on the stock market’s whims. Following the 80-20 rule, 80% of stock investors became fodder for the sharks, while the remaining 20% made a little profit by following the big players.

Ye Tian had already decided that he wouldn't waste time on the stock market—it was too tiring. As long as he mastered Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two major cryptocurrencies, the money would flow in.

For now, all he needed to do was raise as much capital as possible and gather more ammunition.

He even considered mortgaging the family house and investing everything into Bitcoin, waiting for his assets to double.

The thought made him tremble with excitement. He felt as though he were in a dream.

Many people who’d seen Bitcoin’s chart marveled at its potential—buy low, sell high. Making money seemed faster than printing money. The same went for Ethereum, which had risen from half a dollar to over a thousand dollars per coin. The climb was like scaling Mount Everest, dizzying and exhilarating.

Ye Tian felt fortunate—though he hadn't been born with a lucky streak for gambling, at least he had the capital now to dive into the Bitcoin market, so he wouldn’t be without a way to make money.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Those careless authors and screenwriters who created countless fascinating stories of reincarnation often overlooked one important point: before rebirth, no one was ready. If someone had nothing upon being reborn, they'd still be poor and powerless, unable to turn their life around.

For example, now, if he had no capital, even knowing that Bitcoin would reach a relative high in November, it would have been useless. At over $200 per Bitcoin and with the current exchange rate of the US dollar to the Chinese yuan around 6.2, he wouldn't have enough money to buy any, let alone make a profit.

Liu Ping entered the room, looking at Ye Tian.

"Earlier, an old colleague of mine introduced a girl. She asked if you'd like to meet her."

"A girl?" Ye Tian was confused.

"Yes, a potential match. I sent her your photo, and she’s quite taken with you. She thinks you’re handsome and is willing to meet. If you have time this weekend, you could meet."

Ye Tian was taken aback. His heart was with Xia Meng, and he didn’t have time for any other girl.

"Mom, I don’t have time. The computer mall gets really busy on weekends, and I need to focus on building my business."

"Silly boy, business is important, but you’re 22 now. All your classmates have girlfriends, and you’re still single."

Ye Tian shook his head. He didn’t have time for this right now. He needed to focus on gathering funds to invest in Bitcoin. Nothing was more important than that.

Besides, he had already made up his mind—he would marry Xia Meng in this life. What was the point of meeting anyone else?

He didn’t believe anyone could be more beautiful than Xia Meng.

"Mom, I really don’t have time this weekend. The computer counter just opened, and I need to put in the effort. Don’t worry about me. You and Dad’s investment won’t go to waste."

It was the perfect excuse to escape for the whole day, staying at the computer mall without talking to anyone. He would only focus on his laptop, watching Bitcoin’s price chart, hoping November would come quickly so he could make a big splash.

"I heard that your old classmate, Xia Meng, got into Jinling University and is in her senior year. She’s about to graduate. Are you interested in her? Do you have a photo of her?"

Ye Tian grabbed his iPhone 4 and tossed it to Liu Ping.

He didn’t have a photo of Xia Meng. After all, they were just classmates. It wasn’t appropriate to ask her for one. Besides, he knew he needed to have the strength to pursue her. Now wasn’t the time.

"Why do you want to see Xia Meng’s photo? I don’t have one."

"I don’t have a photo of Xia Meng. I’m really tired today, so I’m going to bed."

After Liu Ping left, Ye Tian turned off the lights, lying in the dark, staring at the ceiling. Sleep wouldn’t come.

His first fortune would come in November. Until then, he needed to do everything possible to increase his assets.

Before Bitcoin’s explosion, he could mortgage the house, empty the family’s savings, and invest it all in Bitcoin. He could even borrow high-interest loans from classmates or relatives.

Liu Ping’s brother—Ye Tian’s uncle—ran a wholesale supermarket in the western suburbs, with booming business. While it wasn’t as big as Walmart or Carrefour, it still generated millions in daily revenue.

"Maybe I could borrow some money from Uncle. No matter how much I can borrow, I’ll give him a high interest rate. If I could borrow between 5 to 10 million, and it doubled, that would be amazing!"

It was clear that no matter how much he borrowed, with the market rising, everything would double. Time would prove it.

He made up his mind to get his uncle's phone number from Liu Ping the next day, bring a gift, and lay the groundwork for borrowing money in the future.

The next morning, he went to Liu Ping to get the number.

"Why do you need his number? He’s busy with his business and rarely answers calls. Plus, he’s a bit arrogant and doesn’t look down on us poor relatives."

Before Ye Dajun left for work, he overheard their conversation about his brother-in-law and exploded with anger. "Ye Tian, we’re poor, but we have our pride. Don’t go bothering your uncle. It’ll only make people dislike us. We’re not in need of food or clothes. We don’t need to borrow money from him or put up with his contempt!"
