I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 539 "I'll help you sell them"

Fang Qingye was strolling around the nursery with Wangcai.

This is how I do it every day now: after eating, I take a walk to digest and check on the growth of the flowers and trees in the nursery. This afternoon, I received a call from Zhang Bin saying that he was coming to the nursery tonight, but he didn't explain why on the phone.

Just come.

In the past two years, although Fang Qingye has lived in Nanxin County, she has not had much contact with her classmates. Apart from a few close friends like Song Dahai and Liu Dong, she sometimes gets together with them, and the others just greet each other when they meet.

Classmates rarely visit each other on their own initiative. Although they are still classmates, the gap in their social standing has widened without them realizing it.

Of course, he still sends gifts and attends to celebrate occasions like weddings, baby showers, and housewarmings, as long as his classmates invite him.

He attended Zhang Bin's wedding and his child's one-month celebration.

He was strolling around when he saw a car parked at the gate outside the nursery. Mr. and Mrs. Zhang got out of the car and carried things from the trunk into the nursery.

"Qingye, taking a walk?" Zhang Bin greeted her with a smile.

"Yes, we just finished eating," Fang Qingye replied with a smile. "You two went out, where's the child?"

"We left him at his maternal grandmother's house in the countryside. We're both too busy to take care of him."

"Oh, busy with my career."

"Qingye, your busy schedule is what you call a career; ours is just a small business," Zhang Bin replied with a smile.

"Haha, it's all the same."

The three arrived at the courtyard, where Zhang Bin and his wife greeted Fang Qingye's grandparents and sat them down at a small table.

Fang Qingye then went to pour water for the two of them.

"Qingye, no need to trouble yourself, we'll just sit for a bit and then leave," Zhang Bin quickly said.

"Since you're here, I can't just leave you without a sip of water, can I? Try some of my homemade cold brew tea." Fang Qingye said, taking a pot of tea leaves from the living room and bringing out two cups for the two of them.

"Qingye, I came to see you. I didn't bring much, but since you like tea, I brought you some tea leaves." Zhang Bin said, quickly handing the gift box to Fang Qingye.

Fang Qingye glanced at it.

Biluochun tea?
The packaging is exquisite, so the price probably won't be cheap.

"Thank you, but I feel a bit guilty for not doing this for you." Fang Qingye took the gift box and placed it in the living room, then came out and sat on a small stool.

“We’re all old classmates, no need for formalities,” Zhang Bin replied, then immediately added, “Qingye, Liu Xue and I came here to ask you for help with something.”

"Oh, you said?"

"Do you remember mining Bitcoin five years ago?" Zhang Bin asked.

"How could I forget?" Fang Qingye laughed. "I remember Liu Xue dug some up too?"

“Yes, Qingye,” Liu Xue chimed in, “I saw you mining back then, so I installed the program and mined some myself.”

"Can you tell me how much they dug up?" Fang Qingye asked curiously.

"More than 1000."

That's quite a lot.
If you save it for 10 years, it will be worth 100 million US dollars!

However, now that the two women have suddenly come to see her and brought up Bitcoin, Fang Qingye vaguely knows their intentions.

I won't wait another 10 years.

"Qingye, are you aware of the document jointly issued by several national ministries, 'Notice on Preventing Bitcoin Risks'?" Liu Xue asked. "Of course I know. The document was sent to Jinghai Bank. I've seen it. It basically says that buying and selling Bitcoin is not allowed, otherwise it will be considered illegal and will be dealt with."

"Yes, what will happen if we can't trade?" Liu Xue sighed and asked tentatively, "Qingye, I remember you dug up quite a lot, so what are you going to do with it?"

"I sold most of them a while ago, and only a little bit is left, so I'm just keeping it there as a souvenir." Fang Qingye picked up her tea and took a sip, looking relaxed.

Liu Xue and Zhang Bin immediately showed expressions of envy.

Look how well they've controlled the heat!

No wonder he made his fortune in the stock market.

"Qingye, we've come here today to ask for your advice and to help you. What should we do about Bitcoin? It's not allowed to be traded in China, but is it possible to trade it abroad?" Liu Xue quickly asked.

“There’s no ban on trading abroad,” Fang Qingye said truthfully.

“But we don’t know any foreigners, and we don’t know how to sell to them. Qingye, you’re very knowledgeable. I heard you even went abroad recently. Could you help us sell them? I’ll give you a commission,” Liu Xue said.

Fang Qingye hesitated for a moment before saying, "Currently, any website in China is prohibited from conducting Bitcoin transactions. If you want to sell, you must go to foreign or Hong Kong websites. I have a company in Hong Kong, and I can help you sell it."

"But what?" Liu Xue asked quickly.

“Bitcoin is like a stock. It may fall now but it might rise in the future, or it may continue to fall. You should think it over carefully, so you don’t regret selling now later.” Fang Qingye said in a very serious tone.

After hearing Fang Qingye's words, the two hesitated. Zhang Bin looked at his wife, as she was the one who made the decisions on such important matters.

Liu Xue pondered for a while, then her expression hardened: "Sell now! I won't regret it even if the price goes up later! From being worthless to now worth several hundred dollars, I've made enough! One shouldn't be too greedy!"

“Alright then, if you trust me, transfer the Bitcoin to my account and I’ll sell it for you as soon as possible at the market price of the day. I won’t take any commission from you, how about that?” Fang Qingye said.

"Thank you. We're old classmates, how could I not believe you? Besides, with your wealth, would you care about such a small thing?" Zhang Bin seemed very generous.

The two followed Fang Qingye upstairs into her bedroom, where Liu Xue started working on the computer.

The hot wallet she uses makes the online operation process even simpler.

Fang Qingye re-registered a new account on the Bitcoin website established by Huang Tao and others, and soon Liu Xue's 1121 Bitcoins successfully arrived in his wallet.

"Just wait for my news in the next couple of days," Fang Qingye said.

The couple left a private account and left happily, and Fang Qingye took Wangcai for a stroll again.

Around 9 p.m., Bai Ou, who was in Shanghai, had nothing much to do, so the two of them video chatted for a while.

Fang Qingye told him about Zhang Bin and his wife coming to the nursery that evening to entrust him to buy Bitcoin.

"Are you planning to transfer it to the Hong Kong subsidiary and have Ouyang Shaoqiang handle it for you?" Bai Ou asked.

“That kid has been urging me to speculate on Bitcoin,” Fang Qingye laughed. “But why go through all that trouble? I’ll just keep it. I still have 46, so these extra 1000 or so don’t matter. I’ll just pay them according to tomorrow’s Bitcoin market price.”

"Why are you staying? Didn't you say it was a hot potato?" Bai Ou asked.

“That was true before, but not anymore.” Fang Qingye chuckled. “Do you know why the central bank doesn’t want me to donate everything? Is it because they’re embarrassed to take advantage of me? I don’t think that’s entirely the reason.”

"Half of it is left with me; that's for my future cooperation in their operations! One is overt, one covert; one official, one civilian. If I dare to act on my own, they'll come knocking on my door in no time!"

"Ha Yezi, I didn't expect you to think so far ahead."

"A man who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present. That's settled then, I'll give them the money tomorrow."
