MMB Chapter 257 The Bottom Line
Chapter 257 The Bottom Line
There is some good news regarding funding.
A few days after arriving in Jingcheng, the money from selling Bitcoin finally arrived in my account.
This can be considered a risky financial investment.
The purchase cost 140 million, and after three months, 1.98 million was received.
Bitcoin rose from $13 to $18 per coin, and Wang Yan's trading strategy allowed me to make a net profit of 5800 million yuan.
Dong Ling looked at my phone account and exclaimed in surprise, "Where did you get so much money?"
"The 1.4 million yuan was from the financing of Zhengzhou ZQ computing power, and the 5800 million yuan was from the profits from buying Bitcoin."
"Was it that highly intelligent young girl from the Wang family in Shanghai you mentioned who orchestrated it?"
"Yes, the whole family has gone abroad now."
Dong Ling frowned: "You said she was someone's chosen, someone wanted to marry her to improve their genes?"
"Yes, the Wang family has over 6 billion yuan in assets in China, and in the past two years, most of them have been transferred or mortgaged. They also have over 6 billion yuan overseas."
"Honey, have you ever thought about helping the Wang family out?"
"How can we help? Neither of us has the ability to scare away a family worth billions with just one sentence. It would be possible if your mentor intervened."
I put down the sugarcane in my hand and looked towards Dongling.
"You can get your advisor to do it? Didn't you say she wouldn't do these things?"
"It's different. The Wang family's companies and assets are not located in China, so if the teacher intervenes, it won't have much impact."
"What's the explanation?"
"It's a bottom-line issue. Whatever we do, it's always for the benefit of the national economy. If the teacher intervenes in the Wang family's situation, it can, to some extent, prevent the outflow of domestic assets."
I nodded. People on different levels consider things from different angles.
If this happened to me, I would run away too.
However, from Dongling's perspective, the issue is viewed from an economic standpoint.
"Then I'll video call her, and you two can talk?"
Dong Ling shook his head: "No, we must talk in person."
"Their whole family lives in Hawaii. How about we go there for Chinese New Year this year?"
Dong Ling pouted: "No, my identity makes it inconvenient to go abroad. It involves too many things and requires official approval."
"Why don't we go to Macau instead, and let them go to Macau too?"
"Good idea. However, you should prioritize Ningning's matter first."
"I already have a plan."
"I knew you were so capable, honey, always so resourceful!"
I was quite smug: "My skills aren't great, but I have a lot of crooked ideas. However, if I actually put them into practice, the impact would be huge, and I'm afraid it won't end well."
"How so?"
"We can't find people, but we can get people to find us. They're fishing, right? We'll fish too. We'll publicly claim that the person who reported Zheng Xin has switched sides and joined the Wen family. Whoever gets anxious first will be the Wen family's negotiation partner."
"Will people believe the rumors we spread?"
"Of course they won't believe the rumors we spread, but that family won't believe the whistleblower who reported Zheng Xinshi either. Next, Zheng Xinshi will also make new moves, which will make it easier for the Wen family to understand relevant information and progress. Our help doesn't necessarily have to be helpful; as long as we muddy the waters and get the big shots from all sides to make their moves, that's enough."
"Human nature."
Dong Ling was deeply moved.
"This is risky, who would go?"
"Let Zhongqing make the arrangements. In that case, why don't we go directly to Macau? It'll be a good way to escape from Jingcheng."
"I think it's a good idea."
"Let's call Zhao Xing and take her private jet; it'll save us money."
"Your sister is so rich?"
"She is an olive branch extended by the Huo family to the academics."
"No wonder she's your best friend."
"My teacher isn't the only one in academia. My relationship with Zhao Xing is just a personal one. We'll see how things really go after graduation."
"Is there any explanation?"
"Among the various schools of thought, each had its own preferred candidates. The path is taken step by step. Before I have achieved my full potential, no one dares to make any definitive judgments. In the adult world, emotions and physical desires are mostly used to fill emptiness; only the bond of mutual benefit is the most lasting and real."
I was lost in thought.
Even if a man and woman sleep together, it doesn't necessarily mean they are truly in love.
Only a permanent bond of shared interests can guarantee longevity.
A private courtyard.
After listening to Lingling's narration.
"Who came up with this idea?"
Zhong Qing couldn't help but ask.
"Who else? Of course, it's my husband."
Zhong Qing's expression was complicated: "I really misjudged you. I should have snatched you away when I first saw you by the lake at Renmin University."
"Hehe, it's not too late for you to make your move now. Lingling will most likely agree."
Zhao Xing was stirring things up from the sidelines.
"Forget it, I'm afraid she'll agree, and then I'll be at her expense too."
Does Zhong Qing seem to have a somewhat stereotypical view of academics?
There's some explanation for that...
I naturally didn't dare to say a word.
Zhongqing left quickly; the veteran's execution ability is extraordinary—he does what he says he will do.
We, Lingling, Zhao Xing, and I, were left behind.
"Xingxing, when are you going back to Macau?"
"It'll be in the next couple of days. I was supposed to go back early this morning after the holiday started, but Ningning's matter delayed me. What happened?"
"Let's hitch a ride to Macau."
"What are you doing, on your honeymoon?"
"Hehe, it's been half a year since we last met, of course we should go out and enjoy ourselves."
"Tch, I'm only responsible for delivering it; I don't care about the return trip."
"It's okay, we'll save money wherever we can."
"You're saving money, aren't you? Your husband earns so much money for you."
The two started joking around.
"Xingxing, have your driver drop me off. You guys chat here first. I need to go see my advisor. I'll be right back."
"OK."
After Dong Ling left.
"Hehe, this opportunity was created for us by your wife..."
"What are you doing? Don't come any closer, or I'll scream."
"Go ahead and scream, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will save you."
"Never mind then, you can come instead."
Zhao Xing punched me lightly with his fist: "You're shameless and you're always spouting glib talk."
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Brother Tian, are you scared?"
Zhao Xing suddenly looked at me very seriously.
Why do you say that?
"You've already been exposed to those people's attention, and you're likely to face obstruction from all sides. I just want to ask you if you're mentally prepared."
"To be honest, not yet. I don't even know how to prepare. These people's methods are beyond imagination."
"Abandon all your unnecessary businesses."
"What you said is exactly the same as what a friend of mine said. I already told him before I came to Jingcheng that we are going to vigorously develop the fields of electric energy and intelligent computing power in the future."
Zhao Xing was very surprised: "I was thinking of giving you some advice, but I didn't expect you to get rid of those burdens on your own."
"Those who accomplish great things do not concern themselves with trifles. Sometimes, when a company grows big, it is necessary to abandon small businesses. Not only will they hold you back, but they will also easily give others a handle to use against you."
Without batting an eye, I recited Ji Xin's words of advice to me verbatim.
"Brother Tian, you really deserve Lingling."
