Chapter 21 Proposal
At noon, in a fast food restaurant outside Stanford University, Wu Fei was stirring the coffee in front of him boredly, and asked Zhao Ye, "Mingzhe, have you decided, do you want to continue studying for a Ph.D. in computer engineering?"

Zhao Ye slumped back, and replied listlessly: "To be honest, I can't make up my mind. Do you have any suggestions?"

"I think you should continue your studies. Didn't Professor Johnson say he wanted to accept you as a student? What a pity to miss this opportunity."

Facing Wu Fei's proposal, Zhao Ye pretended to be coercive: "If you miss it, you will miss it. Anyway, I have already learned the professional knowledge of doctoral students by myself. Instead of wasting this time, it is better to change majors and learn something new. knowledge."

Wu Fei disagreed with this answer. She objected: "How can a master's degree compare with a doctor's degree? Can't find a good job?"

Hearing that Wu Fei was worried about his future, Zhao Ye really wanted to tell her that he was thinking too much. Even if he was idle every day in the future, it would not be a big deal. After all, anyone who holds the code of future wealth in his hand will be so confident.

Not to mention anything else, just one bitcoin is enough to make Zhao Ye a billionaire in a few years, this is really not a joke.

Today's time node is August [-], more than a year has passed since the concept of Bitcoin was first born, and on January [-] this year, Bitcoin's first block "Genesis Block" Being dug up, this announces the launch of the Bitcoin network, and also means the beginning of the movement of encrypted assets and blockchain.

It is worth mentioning that the current Bitcoin has not yet appeared in the trading market, and it only circulates among some programmers.

But don't worry, because Bitcoin created amazing wealth in his previous life, so Zhao Ye had learned some relevant information in detail, so he clearly remembered that the first transaction of Bitcoin occurred in May next year.

What happened specifically was like this. At that time, a programmer had a whim and used 25 bitcoins to exchange two pizzas worth $[-] online. This is the famous "bitcoin pizza" event in the history of bitcoin.

And this incident also marks that Bitcoin, as an online virtual currency, has officially begun to circulate in the market.

So what is the initial circulation price of Bitcoin? It is not difficult to get the answer through calculation. It is an unbelievable one that is about 0.0025 US dollars.

Although the price of Bitcoin began to rise sharply with the continuous occurrence of large-scale transactions, according to data, by July 28, 0.5, the price of Bitcoin was [-] US dollars, which had doubled from the initial price. hundred times.

But even if a coin is worth one dollar, for those who know the future trend of Bitcoin, it is still the price of cabbage, which contains amazing profit margins.

We might as well calculate, assuming that a person bought 6 bitcoins at a price of one dollar each in [-], as long as he holds them until the first half of [-], the value of a single bitcoin is as high as If he sells it for more than [-] US dollars, then he can easily get a wealth of more than billions of dollars.

Of course, this is just a simple calculation of profits. If such outrageous things happen in reality, then this person will not live long, not to mention whether the US government will intervene. There are ten thousand ways to make this person disappear from the world.

But even if you can't maximize your benefits, you can still grab a lot of wealth.

For example, when Bitcoin is worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, it is completely possible to sell some cash out in batches, so that it will not be so eye-catching. Anyway, Bitcoin has experienced four relatively large increases. There are many.

For a traveler who can foresee the future, as long as he travels to the right time point, it's that simple to make a fortune.

Wu Fei didn't know Zhao Ye's true thoughts, but he also saw that he seemed to have other plans, so he stopped persuading him, and instead talked about another topic a little coyly.

"Mingzhe, my mother mentioned our relationship on the phone the day before yesterday, let me ask what your plan is?"

Zhao Ye is not stupid, of course he understands the subtext of these words, and there is also a possibility that Wu Fei himself used Wu's mother's words to test his mind.

But it's understandable when you think about it. After all, it's been almost two years since the two officially established a relationship, and the relationship has been stable. In addition, Wu Fei will be 25 after the new year, so it's not unusual to have some thoughts in his heart.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Ye responded positively.

"Auntie is completely worrying. She doesn't understand me, so why don't you understand? As long as you speak today, we can get married tomorrow."

Wu Fei felt relieved, the corners of his mouth turned up, but he still said arrogantly: "Don't be so cute, you don't even have a marriage proposal ceremony, why should I agree to marry you!"

Zhao Ye had a mysterious smile on his face when he heard this, and asked in a joking tone: "You mean, as long as I take out the ring and kneel down to propose marriage, you will immediately agree to marry me?"

Hearing these words suddenly, Wu Fei was taken aback for a moment, then looked suspiciously at Zhao Ye, trying to tell the truth from his face.

Could it be... Thinking of her boyfriend's occasional surprise actions, Wu Fei's heart couldn't help jumping up, and he nodded with excitement.

"Then close your eyes first!"

Wu Fei clasped his hands tightly and did as he said. After a while, he followed the instructions and opened his eyes. He saw Zhao Ye's half-kneeling figure in front of him. Most importantly, he was holding a sapphire ring in his hand.

At this time, it was the peak time for dining in the restaurant, and the actions of the two naturally attracted countless attentions.

There is one thing to say, foreigners are indeed much more enthusiastic and unrestrained than Chinese people in dealing with feelings. If Chinese people saw this scene, they would probably laugh it off at most.

The performance of the foreigners was not the same. When they found out that someone was proposing a marriage ceremony, these Stanford young men and women became excited instantly, and they all spoke out to cheer for Zhao Ye.

Amidst the cheers, Wu Fei didn't cover her mouth or she had tears in her eyes as she did in the movie. She just blushed slightly, and slowly handed out her left hand, watching Zhao Ye bring the ring to him. her middle finger.

Then, the two hugged each other to celebrate, thanked everyone present with a smile for their blessings, and finally left sweetly hand in hand.

Coming out of the restaurant, Wu Fei held Zhao Ye's arm in his right hand, leaned his head tightly on his shoulder, and looked at the ring on his left hand from time to time, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't get enough of it.

After a while, she asked curiously: "When did you buy the ring? How come I don't know anything about it?"

"Would it be a surprise if I told you in advance?"

"You pass!" Satisfied with this answer, Wu Fei stood on tiptoe with a smile, kissed Zhao Ye's face, and then asked, "When will the family be notified?"

Zhao Ye laughed and said: "Look at you, you have already put on my ring, and you still have to beat around the bush when you talk. Just ask me when we will get married, and you have to let me guess. If I can't guess, I will Let's see how you end up!"

Wu Fei felt a little embarrassed when he was exposed, and couldn't help arguing loudly: "I'm a girl, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I asked you that directly!"

After finishing speaking, he added: "If you are really that slow, then I might as well hint to you a few more times until you understand."

The two of them fought all the way back to Huang Xiuhui's house, and they were inevitably congratulated by Huang Xiuhui again.

That night, after the passion was over, Wu Fei rested his head on Zhao Ye's arm, and again mentioned when to notify his family.

Zhao Ye thought for a while, and replied: "It's just a phone call at home, you can tell them at any time, but have you ever thought about where our wedding should be held, in the United States or in China?"

It was the most important thing in life, so Wu Fei was in a dilemma for a while. He secretly compared and felt that each had its own merits. After he couldn't make up his mind, he simply threw the problem back, saying that everything was under Zhao Ye's arrangement.
