Rekindle 2012

Chapter 330 Surprise and surprise

A taxi came from the direction of the city.

"Young man, we're here."

The bald taxi driver, who was over fifty years old, stopped the car on the side of the road and alerted a sturdy young man sitting in the back.

"Are you here? How much is it?"

Li Chen looked out the window. The bus stop next to it was the East Lake Building stop. This was also where Sun said they would meet on the phone.

"98."

The driver glanced at the display and said.

Li Chen paused while taking out his wallet. He looked directly at the driver and said, "I've seen the map. It's only twenty kilometers. You pay five yuan for one kilometer here?"

"Give it fifty."

The driver took one look at the other party's strong figure and changed the number he just said.

Li Chen calculated that it was probably the same price, so he didn't continue to argue. He took out a 50 yuan bill and handed it over, and then got out of the car with his backpack.

After taking a look at the driver's number plate, he memorized these numbers.

He took out his mobile phone and made a call: "Sun, I'm already here. Where should I go now? The administration building, right? I'll ask the security guard."

Li Chen went to the security booth next to him and asked for the direction of the administration building. When he knew it was the building at the back, he thanked him and walked towards it.

On the way, he made another call to the transportation manager at Greentown.

"Hello, I want to file a complaint against a taxi driver who maliciously altered the meter."

"I traveled a total of 90 kilometers from the train station to the East Lake Building. The price showed more than [-], which is completely inconsistent with the pricing rules. His license plate number is xxxxx."

……

After making the phone call, Li Chen's steps became much more brisk. He has a very sincere character and will not offend others under normal circumstances, but if others offend him, he will never suffer.

Looking at the administrative building just in front, Li Chen felt a little uneasy. He was about to see the legendary sun.

I wonder what Sun looks like and how old he is?From the phone call, he didn't sound very old.

Some people sounded young when they spoke, and Li Chen was not sure.

The agreed location is at the entrance of the administration building.

When they arrived, Li Chen looked inside.

Several riders wearing snail delivery clothes came out of the activity room. Li Chen was a little surprised. He knew what these people did, and Sun was definitely not in this job.

"Li Chen?"

Suddenly, I heard someone calling my name.

Li Chen looked outside the door.

At some point, a young man walked up behind him. This young man was probably in his early twenties and was dressed in casual clothes.

"Are you Sun?"

Li Chen looked at the other party with an unbelievable expression. He thought that Sun might be younger, but he didn't expect that he was so young.

The other person looked much younger than him.

How can someone at such a young age become a great person in the cryptocurrency industry?
If he wasn't, why could he call his name accurately? All kinds of questions lingered in his heart.

"Why, do you want me to call you again to verify?"

Li Chenyang looked at him with a smile.

This person is relatively familiar.

He was exactly the same as the talented academic he once saw on TV, but now he looked younger.

It seems that the gears of fate have also changed on the other party.

In his previous life, he was an unruly genius who dropped out of school in his sophomore year, but now he is about to finish his four-year college course.

Life, it seems, is not as exciting as the previous life.

But the precious accumulation of life is much more than in the previous life.

"No... no need, hello sun, I didn't expect you to be so young, it's too abrupt."

Li Chen said quickly.

"Call me Chenyang. My real name is Li Chenyang, and my name is just one more character than yours."

"Li Chenyang..." Li Chen muttered silently, and then smiled: "No wonder you said you were interested in me, it turns out our names are so similar."

Li Chen thought that the name in his introduction attracted Sun's attention.

"Let's go, I know you have a lot of questions, go to the office and talk about it."

The two of them walked all the way towards the office.

"boss."

"boss."

When the delivery people passing by saw Li Chenyang, they would all say hello.

Li Chen followed behind, watching all this, and guessing about the relationship between sun and snail takeout. Now that he was not in the office, he did not ask his questions.

"Sit anywhere and I'll make a pot of tea."

Coming to the tea table, Li Chenyang added some this year's Mingqian tea into the kettle, and then put the tea set away.

After a while, the kettle made the sound of boiling water.

"Chenyang, you are not old and you know how to enjoy life."

Looking at the luxuriously decorated office, the exquisite tea sets, and the scent of tea filling the air, Li Chen said with a smile.

"This life is a journey of enjoying life. If you enjoy it for a day, you will earn a day." Li Chenyang smiled and continued: "You want to ask about Bitcoin."

"Yeah, I looked at some of your transaction records and found that you buy at a low point every time and can accurately ship and cash out at a high point. It's amazing. If I hadn't received your call today, I would have I thought you were an old professor who has been involved in the financial industry for many years."

"Haha." Li Chenyang laughed: "Actually, it's nothing. I predicted that there would be a wave of Bitcoin prices, so I would buy some whenever I encountered a low point. This resulted in the average buying price not being very high. I sold the goods because I felt I had made enough money and the company needed money, so I sold them, not because I really predicted any risks.”

"You are so humble. I have never seen such a powerful young man like you."

Li Chen felt that the other party was being modest.

If that's really what he said, then the other party's luck accounted for most of the factors, which is similar to what his roommate Wang Feng guessed.

He didn't believe that this was the actual situation.

"Actually, this wave of decline is inevitable. It reaches its peak and then declines. This is in line with the law. Bitcoin has been rising for more than half a year, and it has risen so fiercely recently. This is obviously not in line with the law of development, and it cannot be maintained like this forever. The speed of price increase will definitely fall. It is difficult to judge when exactly. As long as it meets your expectations, you can sell it. If you are not greedy, you will not lose your calm judgment."

Hearing this, Li Chen nodded and said: "We all know this truth, but how many people can really remain non-greedy? I also saw you selling, so I followed suit. Otherwise, this will happen." I will definitely not be able to avoid a wave of market crashes." Li Chen did not shy away from making a wave of money following Sun.

"Just sell it. The risk of virtual currency is too great. You can play with it, but the contract must not be opened." The water has been boiled. Li Chenyang poured it into the tea cup, washed away the foam from the tea leaves, and then poured a cup each.

Li Chen took the tea and felt that the words had something to say, but he had not signed a contract, so he didn't know that the words were actually meant for him.

If he had experienced an instant liquidation of 100 billion, he should know why Li Chenyang said this.

"I basically can't finish the contract. The current platform is too risky and easy to be cheated. Unless a large, stable and reliable platform appears, you can give it a try. Virtual currency contracts are actually not much different from futures."

Paused.

Li Chen continued: "Sun, Bitcoin has fallen so badly now. How long do you think it will take before it reaches the end? Does Bitcoin still have a future?"

Li Chenyang sipped the tea and chuckled: "Even ordinary people should be able to see now that the price of Bitcoin is unlikely to rise in a short time. The market crash is so severe that everyone is desperately trying to run out. , so many people have liquidated their positions, and many people have lost confidence in currency speculation. I estimate that the price will fall to one or two hundred, or even double digits, and then it will stay sideways for a long time.”

Sideways means there is no chance. Li Chen frowned slightly: "Then when will it rise?"

"Who knows this."

Li Chenyang shook his head.

He knows when it will rise, but he will definitely not tell outsiders. Li Chen wants to know the answer to his guess, but he doesn't know that the trend chart of Bitcoin in the next ten years can be clearly seen on Li Chenyang's side.

Bitcoin has little chance for the time being.

This wave of decline will last for a long time. It will be in a downward channel for the whole next year, and it will not slowly recover until one or six years later.

The next wave of outbreaks occurred at the end of 2017. In that year, the price of Bitcoin rose from more than 900 US dollars at the beginning of the year to a maximum of [-] US dollars, an increase of [-] times.

Moreover, at that time, the trading channels had been very complete, and the liquidity of Bitcoin had improved a lot. If he wanted to, he could easily make several hundred million more.

Of course, by that time, maybe a few hundred million will be nothing to Li Chenyang.

Li Chen was slightly disappointed when he didn't get the answer he wanted, but he was also certain that Sun was definitely a great person.

A young genius.

To be able to meet such a genius in China, it was not worth the trip from the capital for him.

He thought of his previous question.

Said: "Chen Yang, what is your relationship with Snail Takeaway? I see they call you boss. Are you responsible for managing these riders?"

“How much do you know about snail takeout?”

Li Chenyang did not answer his question directly.

"To be honest, I don't know much about snail food delivery. We have similar food delivery platforms in Beijing, including Ele.me and Meituan, and we often see them fighting."

"I have never even heard of the name Snail Takeout before. However, when I was at the train station, I saw many Snail Takeout riders delivering food everywhere. In the taxis coming here, I also saw many people riding battery scooters. It can be seen that in Greentown, Snail Food Delivery has formed a monopoly..."

The initial development of Snail Food Delivery was different from that of Meituan Ele.me. It did not stick to a few mega cities and fully blossomed in the mainland.

This avoids direct competition and allows them to slowly expand their territory and reduce money-burning expenses as they compete with each other.

of course.

This is the only way to use this strategy when there is insufficient funds. If 8000 million is injected into it, it can completely support the competition of a megacity.

In order for Snail Takeout to develop more smoothly in the future, we can delay entering the market in mega cities but we must not give up.

"I am the founder and largest shareholder of Snail Takeout."

His identity was easy to check. After Li Chen returned, he could find out about it by searching his name, so he didn't hide it.

"My guess is still too small."

Li Chen smiled bitterly.

He thought that Sun was the manager responsible for the Snail Takeout riders, but he didn't expect that Sun was directly the founder of Snail Takeout.

He doesn’t know much about Snail Takeout, but from what he saw and heard in Greentown, I’m afraid that even if Snail Takeout is not as good as Meituan’s Hungry Me, it won’t be much different.

"Now Snail Takeaway has completely occupied the entire Greentown market and has signed exclusive contracts with merchants. In addition, Jiangcheng is also developing rapidly. Without anyone else's intervention, it should be able to reach Greentown soon. To this extent, we have a complete promotion process that can be replicated anywhere.”

"If we occupy Greentown and Jiangcheng, then Snail Takeaway will occupy half of the mainland market." Li Chen said in surprise.

He didn't investigate carefully, but from what the other party said, Snail Takeout seemed to be developing much faster than Meituan and Ele.me.

They were still fighting in the north, and the Snail Takeout side was secretly developing, and even captured two mainland provincial capitals.

"Do you play games?"

This question surprised Li Chen.

I didn’t expect the topic to jump so quickly.

He still answered honestly: "I don't play a lot. I mostly play basketball in my spare time. Sometimes I play one or two league games with my roommates, just lol, you know?"

Hearing this, Li Chenyang smiled and said, "That's great. Do you know the DM team?"

"I know that the currently ranked No. [-] LOL game team in the country defeated a team from South Korea yesterday and was even trending on Weibo."

Li Chen didn't know why sun said this.

Li Chenyang smiled and said slowly: "I am also the boss of Team DM. The base of Team DM is in the building in front."

"you……"

Li Chen was completely dumbfounded. He finally understood why the other party suddenly mentioned this. The news he got today was so shocking.

Originally, he came here to meet Sun, the master of the currency circle. Who knew that he was not only the master of the currency circle, but also the founder of Snail Takeaway.

This is shocking enough, who knew he was also the boss of the DM team.

These three completely different circles, he didn't know what the other party did. Li Chen had no doubts. There was no need for the other party to deceive him. He could easily confirm this information online.

As a leader in Peking University, he thought he was already pretty good, but today, he saw what it means to be outsiders.

"You...why are you telling me this?"

Li Chen had some guesses in his mind, but he was not very sure.

Li Chenyang looked at him and said with a smile: "You are a senior today and will graduate in half a year. What are your plans after graduation? Should you continue to study for graduate school, study abroad, start a business, or find a job in a big company?"

"Sun, you mean, if I don't continue my studies, I can come to you after graduation?"

Li Chen's heartbeat was beating much faster. Before coming, he had originally thought of becoming an apprentice and was completely unprepared for this.

The founder of Snail Takeout, the boss of Team DM, and the sun master in the currency circle, even though he has a somewhat high vision, he can't find any reason to refuse.

"is it okay?"

Li Chenyang asked next.

Li Chen took a deep breath and said, "Then which piece are you going to let me do?"
