"Sorry, I really can't remember who you are." Chen Xi looked at the other Asian faces. They didn't look like Chinese, but looked a bit like ABC.
The ABC he knew in Tu'ao didn't have these people at all.
"We have never met, so it's normal if you don't know us. My name is Lucas, and my Chinese name is Huang Litian. This is..."
"Alex!" The one wearing sunglasses The white man stepped forward and stretched out his hand to shake Chen Xi's hand.
“Hello, what can I do?”
"It's nothing, I just want to play ball together, don't you mind. Let's talk about other things by the way."
"Huh?"
Faced with this white man who is familiar with him, Chen Xi also His interest was piqued, so he nodded.
"I'm from Canada, and some of these friends are from beautiful countries, and some are from the United Kingdom." Alex said as he began to wipe the clubs.
“Are you coming to Tu’ao for tourism?”
"That's right, but coming to the billiard room is not accidental."
"You came to me specially?"
"Yes."
"How did you know about me? Coming here tonight?”
“Secret!” Alex raised his lips and hit the ball hard.
The balls on the table immediately scattered under the fierce attack of this ghost guy.
However, not a single ball was pocketed.
Standing aside, Saori immediately felt secretly happy. Chen Xi was playing billiards with others, so of course he wanted to cheer for her boyfriend.
"Then why did you come to me?" Chen Xi casually put a ball into the bag and slowly changed his position and asked slowly.
“What do you think of the current virtual digital currency?” Alex stood the club on the ground.
"Nothing, it's just a new form of currency that adapts to the times." Chen Xi replied casually.
“Oh?”
“Virtual digital currency, simply put, is based on complex encryption algorithms and decentralized blockchain technology, and achieves security and reliability through specific network protocols. A traceable and anonymous transaction medium. It is different from traditional physical currency or electronic currency because it does not rely on any central bank or financial institution to issue or manage, but is jointly maintained and verified by the entire network community. Effectiveness." Seeing that the ghost guy was not very satisfied with his answer, Chen Xi added another sentence. By the way, he pointed to the table, indicating that the opponent was already two goals behind.
“In fact, the prototype of digital currency has appeared a long time ago. For example, the predecessor of Bitcoin, a concept called 'BitGold' (BitGold), although it has not really was implemented, but it laid the foundation for subsequent cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Basics. The emergence of Bitcoin, a truly widely recognized digital currency, not only created a new financial field, but also triggered widespread discussion and controversy around the world. " Alex asked as he picked up the long stick and hit a ball accurately.
"The value of Bitcoin is still very low now. Although it has some investment attributes, it doesn't seem to be much at the moment." Chen Xi naturally didn't want to say too much.
"Well, since there is no investment value, how could you buy so many in bulk?" Alex leaned close to Chen Xi and whispered in his ear.
"You...I don't know what you are talking about." Chen Xi was shocked, but he still acted calmly.
"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm. I just want to see some of your views on this virtual currency. What other uses do you think it can be used for?" Alex smiled and took advantage of Chen Xi just because of his separation. Another missed opportunity was scored.
“Currency, in essence, is a medium for transactions. Virtual currency, on the vast stage of the Internet, can theoretically facilitate any form of transaction, but all this is based on its actual value. On the basis of that, for example, establishing a stable value relationship with certain physical currencies or assets." Chen Xi stabilized his emotions and started playing again.
“So what do you think this virtual currency can be exchanged for? Beautiful coins? Australian dollars?”
"Why does it have to be legal tender?"
"Oh? What else do you think there is?" Alex blinked at Chen Xi.
"You know it yourself, do you still need to ask me? I'm curious, how can you know my information so well."
"Haha, I won!" Alex There was no explanation, but he put away his previous laziness, and his aura suddenly changed.
He picked up the long pole and swept all the remaining balls into the hole in one breath.
"See you next time!" Under everyone's doubtful gazes, Alex waved to them and led the rest of the group out of the billiards room.
"Who is this person? If you wear sunglasses at night, is there something wrong with your brain?" Dongdong asked after the others left.
“I don’t know.” Chen Xi shook his head.
"Did Ergou give you any money? It's not because he skipped the bill, right?" Sangou poked the person next to him with his hand.
“Here you go…I also gave you a hundred-dollar tip.” Ergou took out a green hundred-dollar bill.
Chen Xi took it casually and looked at the light to observe it.
On the green hundred-dollar bill, someone drew a letter B with a pencil, and a bunch of question marks were drawn next to it to connect it.
“What does this mean?” Xiao Ming asked as he took the money.
"Have you two told others about buying virtual coins?" Chen Xi pulled the two aside and asked in a low voice.
"Of course not." They both shook their heads at the same time.
In fact, Chen Xi knew that they would not tell anyone, but he still wanted to ask.
Now, he is even more sure that the ghost guy just now is not simple.
Chen Xi guessed right, the identity of the ghost guy just now is indeed not simple.
It is a mysterious man who was noticed by various countries around the world in his previous life.
“I thought you were very powerful, but you lost to a white man.” Jin Nana crossed her arms and raised her head.
When they arrived, Dongdong and Xiao Ming kept saying that Chen Xi was very good at billiards. Every time he made a powerful move, he could somehow get the ball into the hole.
“You still lost to Shazhi~” Chen Xi laughed.
"I asked her to..." Jin Nana said harshly.
"What were you two talking about just now? I seem to hear something like virtual currency." Gouzi scratched his head.
Chen Xi and Alex spoke very softly just now, and others did not hear the specific content at all.
"Ahem, it's a long story. There are a lot of people here." Chen Xi looked at the people around him.
Because Jin Nana and Saori are so beautiful, many men are not interested in playing ball, and all of them are peeking here.
"Let's talk about it inside." Gouzi pointed to the office next to him. This is where he specially used to discuss business. The sound insulation is very good.
Jin Nana was not interested in hearing about the business. She asked Xiao Ming to place the ball and continued to discuss with Sha Zhi.
At this time, another man and woman walked into the billiard room, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Baby, every time I come to the billiards room, there are a lot of little girls looking at me! How about it, your husband and I are still very handsome, right?"
"Haha, there are obviously a lot of handsome guys looking at me. Me."
"Stop being so harsh, let me show you how powerful I am tonight."
"Oh, I'm so scared." Liya looked at Ouyang Ming and made a move. Fearful movements.
The two of them usually like this, they can be said to be flirting all the time.
Both of them thought it was interesting to do this, otherwise the couple would get bored after being together for a long time.
"Hey, you two are here too." Liya saw Saori and Jin Nana playing billiards and immediately ran over to say hello. The three women were also familiar with each other and played well, so Liya also joined the pool battle.
“Where is the dog?” Ouyang Ming ran to the freezer and took a bottle of drink, and looked at the three dogs at the front desk.
“Brother Ou is here, Brother Gou and Brother Xi are talking in the office!”
"Talk about business? It's business, okay. Don't call me if you have something good to do." After hearing this, Ouyang Ming strode towards the office in a hurry.
"This virtual currency..."
"Click."
In the office, Chen Xi who was speaking was interrupted by the sound of opening the door.
"What big business are you two plotting again? Why didn't you call me?" Ouyang Ming asked the two of them as soon as they entered the door.
"Brother Ou, you still dare to do business. If I were you, I would have stayed home for a while." Chen Xi smiled as soon as he saw Ouyang Ming.
If a normal person is arrested by the police twice for doing business, most of them will stop for a while. Ouyang Ming was just the opposite. The more he got injured, the happier he jumped.
His character is a bit like Chen Caiyue in his previous life. He didn't care at all after being cheated, but he didn't remember long after being beaten.
"Hahaha, I won't miss the opportunity to make money! Men must dare to fight and fight!" Ouyang Ming put his hands on his hips and raised the drink in his hand proudly.
Looking at how excited he was, he had completely forgotten what happened before.
"We are talking about something new, Brother Ou, you don't understand." Gouzi also laughed.
“I don’t understand new things? Then you underestimate me. I study new ways to make money online every day. Tell me, what is it that I don’t understand?”
"Hey, what we are talking about is rather special and not suitable for you to play with." Chen Xi shook his head.
Playing with virtual currency is just like trading stocks. Ouyang Ming's impatient personality is not suitable for this industry.
"Special thing, what is it? Contraband?"
"No, it's virtual currency..." Seeing Ouyang Ming's reluctance, Chen Xi could only tell the answer.
"Virtual currency? Virtual currency is good, we must do it." Unexpectedly, this guy immediately became energetic after hearing this.
“Brother Ou, do you know what virtual currency is?”
“Yes, the teacher said it during class, isn’t it something similar to game currency. But now it seems It's not very valuable, because everyone thinks it's just a useless virtual item." Ouyang Ming actually didn't know much about it. He was distracted during class and only got a general idea.
"Hey, forget it. I'll talk it over with you..." Chen Xi sighed and started to teach Ouyang Ming.
An hour later, in a community in Huajing.
Linxi walked out of the bathroom, wiped her hair and threw the towel on the chair next to her.
“This Zheng Wei is really annoying. He instigates everyone in the association to take the civil service exam, and they don’t understand anything at all. Basically, the families of these people who study abroad are in business, and their parents are I want them to take over their duties after returning to China. Where will anyone join the staff?
A layman is a layman.
Forget it. Just make them happy. As long as you don’t make trouble..."
Linxi kept complaining, reached out and grabbed the mouse and started processing the files.
“Damn it, this bullshit computer anti-virus software is really disgusting. From time to time, it automatically installs some rogue software for me, deletes it and installs it again! Damn it!” Linxi looked at several pop-up advertisements that appeared on her computer. This caused his computer to freeze, and he banged his hand on the table angrily.
“It’s finally closed! I’m going to uninstall this bullshit anti-virus software!”
“Fuck, you have to fill out a questionnaire to uninstall. What’s the reason for uninstalling? Why did I uninstall? What’s in your mind? Don’t you have a complete number? Damn, why is it stuck again? It’s really rogue software and it doesn’t let me uninstall it. The progress is stuck at 99%.”
Ten minutes later...
Linxi looked at the prompt box indicating that the uninstallation was successful, and smiled with satisfaction. He silently lit a cigarette: "I finally quit smoking before, but I have been worrying too much recently, so I started smoking again, eh~eh? This What is it..."
When he opened the browser, a window suddenly popped up on the computer screen, which seemed to be a dialog box.
A text suddenly appeared: "Do you wish to understand the meaning of life? Do you aspire to truly live? (Do you desire to understand the meaning of life? Do you pursue truly living?)"
Shadow, what the hell is this?
Is there a virus in your computer?
A prank game?
Linxi smiled and typed the word "No" on the keyboard.
However, just when he thought it was just a special web advertising pop-up, a reply actually appeared on it.
"Hello, Linxi, president of the Youth Returned Association. Born in XXXX, graduated from XXXX..."
Linxi looked at the words above in shock, it was actually him The specific information, even the details of his parents are also listed.
"Fuck, who are you?" He cursed and typed.
Everyone has privacy. Anyone who encounters this situation will be angry. He actually investigates the information of his family members. This is inappropriate and sick.
"You can call me Dark, don't be nervous, I mean no harm. I want to see what you think of virtual currencies?" There was another reply in the dialog box soon.
You are investigating me so much without any malice?
Are you trying to blackmail me? I’ll call the police.
Although Linxi was very businesslike, she calmed down and responded to her views on virtual currencies.
There was silence for a long time. Just when Linxi thought there was nothing more to say, another paragraph appeared on the screen.
“Do you want to create a new world?”
I will make you a horse!
I haven’t watched any unhealthy movies. How could a Trojan horse be planted in my computer?
Do you think of me as a meat pigeon?
Damn hacker, if you want to play with me, I will play with you!
Linxi did not answer yes or no, but just replied: "I only care about the benefits I can get, don't pretend to be mysterious, you are just a hacker~"
The person on the other side of the Internet couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this text. He didn't expect this person to be so straightforward.
“Why are you so obsessed with getting benefits, rights? Money? Does any of this mean anything?”
"I'm asking you now, not you asking me. Didn't you say you want to create a new world? Tell me what a new world is? Have you watched too many science fiction movies and your brain is a little abnormal?" Linxi calmly said Come down and turn passive into active.
After another ten minutes, just when Linxi was getting a little impatient, there was finally a reply on the computer: "You may have misunderstood me. The new world I am talking about does not mean the one in science fiction novels. It is not a utopia or a different world, but a profound change based on the existing world, especially in the currency trading system.
Today’s currency trading system is primitive and limited. Although legal currency is widely accepted as a medium of exchange, its circulation speed and flexibility are limited by many factors, including policy, geography, trust, etc. In reality, valuable resources, information and services are difficult to measure and exchange directly with legal currency. Limits the efficiency and scope of transactions.
The emergence of virtual currencies is to break these restrictions. They are based on blockchain technology and achieve decentralization, anonymity and non-tamperability, making transactions more efficient. , transparent and safe. Through virtual currency, people can directly communicate across geographical, cultural and legal boundaries. For direct value exchange, whether it is digital assets, intellectual property, or other dematerialized values, you can find a fair trading platform.
The new era I envision is based on virtual currency. A global integrated market combining artificial intelligence, big data and IoT technologies
In this market, the flow of information and the exchange of value will no longer be controlled by any single institution or country, but will be jointly maintained and managed by all participants. This will greatly promote innovation and the optimal allocation of resources, making the economy more prosperous and the society more equitable..."
Looking at this text, Linxi frowned slightly.
As A highly educated returnee from overseas still has more knowledge reserves in his mind than ordinary people.
Dark's words were like an inspiration, giving Linxi a bold idea in an instant.
However, Linxi still thought of this matter too simply. I don’t even know what the identity of this Dark is...
How can a person who has attracted the attention of many countries around the world be a character who can easily be exploited by others? (End of this chapter)
