114 The Time for Harvest Has Arrived
On this day, in the Introduction to Finance class, after the professor finished the scheduled lecture, he started talking about a recent hot topic.
“I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention to Bitcoin? I talked to you about this in class last month.”
In the classroom, a scattering of “Yes,” “I’ve been following it,” and similar agreements rang out.
In the very center of the first row, closest to the podium, Han Yixuan looked at the professor, but her thoughts were drifting.
Every time the professor expressed his views on hot news in the financial field, Han Yixuan would start to zone out. Because she knew very well that these rants would definitely not be on the final exam, nor could they be considered serious knowledge points, so there was really no need to listen carefully.
But many other students, on the contrary, perked up at times like this. After all, how could listening to a professor lecture be more interesting than listening to a rant?
“When we talked about it last time, it was over a thousand per coin. Today, it has risen to a price of seven or eight thousand per coin. But I want to emphasize here that it is a virtual currency. Recall what I said before: for a currency to be recognized by everyone, what does it need? That’s right, it needs government credit or physical collateral. In other words, Bitcoin has none of these. All its current prices are artificially hyped up. The risk of this kind of investment project is really too great…”
Listening to the professor, who had quite a bit of experience in investment, talk about life experiences, Han Yixuan curled her lip and secretly complained—Something that costs seven or eight thousand yuan per coin, even if everyone wants to be a gambler, can they afford to gamble? They can’t even afford a single chip, right?

“It’s still rising, it’s really still rising…”
Tan Meng sat in his office facing the computer and suddenly stood up.
It had been about a week since he entered the market for the second time that day. And the price of Bitcoin had risen from 5,400 to 8,000—which meant that the 800,000 he had invested had turned into 1.2 million in just one short week!
Take a gamble, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle; take another gamble, turn a Land Rover into a Lambo!
As long as this trend continued, if it rose for another two days, Tan Meng felt that he could really drive a sports car ahead of schedule. Of course, a Lamborghini was still a bit unrealistic, but a Porsche was really possible…
He turned to face the window, and towards the high-rise buildings outside, he punched the air fiercely several times, shouting “Yeah” with each punch, venting the excitement that filled his chest. You know, although he had controlled much more funds than this before, that was using the company’s money to invest in other small companies in exchange for their shares. How could the thrill of that kind of investment compare to the roller coaster of Bitcoin that changed every day?
And most importantly, this investment of over a million was all his own savings!
“Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!”
Left and right punches struck in turn, without stopping, like a Wing Chun master.
But just then, a young man’s flustered and helpless voice sounded behind him: “Director Tan?”
Tan Meng turned around as if electrocuted, stunned for a moment, and said angrily, “Why didn’t you knock!”
The young subordinate didn’t dare to speak, silently aggrieved—Why didn’t you close the door?

The English class ended.
When other students packed up their things and stood up, Wang Heng was still sitting there, looking at the laptop on his lap. Through the mobile hotspot, this computer was connected to the internet.
“Hey, look at that guy still playing… The teacher doesn’t even care?” This was a student from another class who didn’t know him.
“Looking at an English interface? Impressive, he doesn’t even need to attend English class.” This was a classmate who knew him and saw his laptop screen.
And the three roommates sitting next to him already knew what he was doing at this moment, all with secretive expressions.
When the people around had dispersed, Fu Hanwen lowered his voice and asked, “Teacher Wang, were you operating Bitcoin just now?”
Wang Heng took a deep breath and nodded.
Even he had to rely on deep breathing to calm his excitement at this moment.
Wang Ke asked curiously, “How much did you earn?”
Wang Heng smiled and said nothing.
Tang Hexing guessed, “When Teacher Wang bought it, it was only a thousand yuan, right? Today’s price is eight thousand, so you earned eight times?”
Wang Heng smiled and nodded.
Fu Hanwen sucked in a breath of cold air. “Invest a thousand, that’s eight thousand! Teacher Wang invested several thousand, that must be tens of thousands!”
Wang Heng smiled. “About that much. So I’m treating you guys to a big meal.”
The three roommates looked at each other and then cheered.
“Holy shit, awesome!”
“Long live Teacher Wang!”
“Teacher Wang is mighty and domineering!”
“Keep your voices down. Don’t be so flashy. Making a fortune requires silence.” As he spoke, Wang Heng closed his laptop and stuffed it into his backpack along with his textbooks.
He had finally seized this wave of Bitcoin market trends that he had been planning since the beginning of his rebirth. In his memory, the price of eight thousand yuan per coin was already close to the highest point. Bitcoin would have even more amazing market trends in the future, but that would be two or three years later. Of course, there would be many small upward trends during this period, but Wang Heng wasn’t a professional coin trader in the first timeline after all, so he didn’t remember clearly and naturally didn’t need to take that risk.
【Sister Lu, I just secured the profits. Fortunately, I didn’t fail my mission. After deducting the handling fee, 140 Bitcoins brought in 1.06 million. Calculating from the start of 100,000, the profit today is 960,000. The one-third share for me is about 320,000. After deducting this part, a total of 740,000 belongs to you. I just initiated the transfer. You can confirm it when you have time.】
After sending the text message, Wang Heng put on his backpack, stood up, and smiled at his roommates. “Let’s go. Today’s dinner is a seafood buffet. Let’s head out.”
“Teacher Wang is awesome!”

Lu Qi looked at the transfer notification message, sitting in her office, unable to help but fall into deep thought.
When writing code, she often wore anti-blue light glasses—although whether they were effective was debatable, at least there was the psychological comfort of ‘I protected my eyes’.
But at this moment, looking at the arrival notification, she took off her glasses with slightly trembling hands.
In just a few dozen days, from 100,000 to 740,000, this income was almost catching up to her hard work for a year—of course, excluding the year-end bonus and only counting the salary.
The key was that she didn’t need to do anything, just throw the money out and wait to collect it.
“Is this the taste of speculation?” Lu Qi mocked herself. “It really makes it hard to calm down… What if I didn’t give him 100,000, but 200,000 or 300,000?”
Soon, she shook her head, forcing herself not to imagine things that hadn’t happened, lest greed erode her rationality. And her rationality had already determined one thing.
“I can’t let this kid get away, absolutely not!”
Lu Qi glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of the screen, then turned off the computer and stood up.
Usually, she would work overtime until much later, but today, she decided to get off work on time to attend to a more important matter.
