The daily life of American TV agents

Chapter 424 The Scientists Who Made Rich

"No, absolutely not!" Shelton's small face turned pale all of a sudden, and he once again remembered the horrible experience of being imprisoned and almost urinating in front of the whole room, and he was shocked: "Okay, okay, I'll think again Think of another way."

"What else can you do? If I remember correctly, Stewart's comic store was doing poorly before the fire. If it wasn't for the distance, his business would have been snatched up by the No. [-] Bookstore."

The No. [-] Bookstore is a store next to Hollywood Boulevard. Although it is called a bookstore, it actually focuses on comics. Especially after the recent Marvel movie fire, they specially put up statues of Marvel heroes at the door to attract customers. Sub, became the hottest comic book store in Los Angeles.

Stewart's store was doing well before, but it was squeezed by this emerging No. [-] bookstore, and it also began to decline.

"Then I'll go spread rumors about the No. [-] Bookstore, saying that the toilets in their store are not clean and can cause sexually transmitted diseases." Shelton looked sinister, and his idea caused several other friends to nod frequently, and everyone agreed again. Let's turn our questioning eyes to Ron.

Ron was simply defeated by the genius business acumen of these scientists, and rolled his eyes: "To be honest, if you are doing scientific research, such as physics, you guys are leaders in the industry, if I am qualified to comment on the Nobel Prize If there is an award, I will give each of you a trophy."

Ron looked at the scientists in front of him, and all those who were swept by his eyes proudly puffed up their chests. Immediately, Ron's following words knocked down their arrogance that had just risen:

"However, I don't think you can do a good job in business. Let's not talk about whether your rumors will be effective. Even if they are effective, the other party can disinfect the whole store a few times at most, and the impact can be eliminated immediately.

But what about your manga shop, nerds?You may gain a small wave of popularity due to the influence of rumors, but after the other party finishes the countermeasures, the new customers will return to No. [-] Bookstore in a short time, and all your investment will be in vain, so you really Are you willing to spend all your savings to own your own comic book store? "

Is the United States an advanced consumer country?That's true; the vast majority of Americans don't have savings?This is also true.

But it should be noted that this is not the state of all Americans. There are always exceptions to everything, especially the Science Gang led by Shelton. For them, first of all, work can bring them enough salary.

In fact, Caltech's salary has always been at the leading level among similar universities.

As for Shelton and others, who are at the top of the food chain in the scientific circle, although it is impossible to make a fortune with the salary of the school, at least they are in the middle class.

What's even more rare is that among these people, except for Rajesh, the spoiled rich second generation of India, the desire to consume is pitifully low. Basically, as long as there is something to eat, some manga to read, they don't even mind Live with my mother, or share the rent.

In this regard, even Rajesh, who is as rich as the Indian version of Iron Man, has no special obsession, and rents a house.

Therefore, Sheldon and the others are rare Americans with savings.

After listening to Ron's words, the four heads shook together. They don't understand business because they don't understand business, but it doesn't mean that they are stupid. No one who can do scientific research is a fool.

"Guys, are you short of money now?" Ron began to reflect on whether he was too stingy to these cute little guys, which gave them the idea of ​​doing business.

Although each person only has a research subsidy of [-] U.S. dollars per month, even Ron's monthly meal money for Sheldon is more than that, but at least Ron bought them new scientific research equipment to play with?

Those precision instruments are not much cheaper than high-end sports cars at all.

"NO." "YES." Two nodded, two shook their heads.

No need to ask, there must be Raj among the people who shook their heads, but to Ron's surprise, Howard was shaking his head too.

"Howard, Rajesh spends money like crazy, why are you making fun of me?"

"Uh..." Howard's face was flushed, and he gritted his teeth for the last time: "The main reason is that I want to earn more money to improve my family's status. You know that there is a wife who can earn so much money. I want more money every night." How much physical effort did you put in?"

Howard's wife, Bernadette, went directly to Pfizer's drug research and development department after graduating from her Ph.D. In addition to her ordinary salary, which was twice as high as Howard's, she also had drug dividends and research subsidies.

In particular, the drug distribution dividends directly profit from the selling prices of the drugs developed and marketed by the scientific research department, which is equivalent to every drug she develops. As long as it is bought by patients, Bernadette can make a little money from it.

"I can do it for you."

The Indian put his hand on Howard's shoulder, and Howard slapped his hand off: "Get out!"

"Well, in this way, I can assume that you all want to make more money?"

Leonard's performance is very Buddhist: "It's not enough to be short of money, but if you can earn a little more, who would refuse?"

Sheldon was even more indifferent: "YES, although most of the things I want to buy have not yet been invented, but if I can pay more, I can also buy a few more comics."

"Okay, then let Uncle Ron teach you how to make a fortune." Ron smiled mysteriously: "It's not too difficult to make money. First of all, the first step is to develop your own potential, that is, to develop your own potential." Change the things around you into money, such as you guys, brothers, I see a huge fortune in you, the money is quite huge, at least enough to buy a nice car for each of you, except Sheldon~"

"How is it possible?" Everyone exclaimed together.

Leonard and the others exclaimed how it was possible for them to have such a fortune without knowing it, and what Shelton exclaimed was why he didn't have himself.

"Everything is possible," Ron looked at the increasingly confused scientists, full of pride in his heart: "Do you need me to give you a little hint?"

"OK, you can just say one key word."

"One keyword is enough. My keyword is Bitcoin. How about it? Do you think of anything?"

"Wait, I remembered, didn't we dig a little bitcoin a few years ago?" Leonard said in surprise: "I heard that the price of bitcoin has increased now, Ron, how much are they now?"

"The latest market price is not clear, but it should be about five thousand dollars a piece."

"What did you say?!" The four of them widened their eyes together.

"I said about five thousand dollars each," Ron said calmly, "Brothers, are you ready to make a fortune?"

Of course, there is a reason for Ron's calmness, because he knows that although the price of Bitcoin has reached a sky-high price of [-] US dollars, it is actually far from its highest price in history.

Before Ron crossed before the Bitcoin crash, the highest price had risen to a sky-high price of $68928.9.

Of course, that is already very late in 2021, and now, it is 2017.

Although this round of bitcoin’s surge was not as exaggerated as the one that followed, at its peak, it reached around $3200, but it didn’t take long for it to fall back to $[-].

But now, it is still its rising period.

"We are ready!"

After being told by Ron, the breath of several scientists became short of breath. Their bitcoins were dug out by themselves without spending a penny. There are a hundred of them. Individuals can get at least 50.

Of course, if Sheldon did not participate in the distribution, they would get more, because Sheldon himself did not participate in the coin mining.

"Remember, we didn't take you with you." Howard laughed at Sheldon.

Sheldon said unconvinced: "Then do you remember what happened later?"

"Your mother called my mother and said we bullied you."

Ron followed Howard's words and continued to add: "Yes, my mother called me later and asked me to take Sheldon to play together, and then Sheldon would rather reinstall the computer system at home than go shooting with me I'm sorry, Sheldon, but you don't have the money."

"No, I said yes, sooner or later you will regret your actions, so, do you know what day it is?"

"We make a fortune and you don't have a life?" Leonard retorted, then turned his head and said very righteously: "Don't worry, Ron, I remember you were there at the time, we will leave you a copy of."

"No, you can share it, I'm not short of this money." Ron waved his hand and refused proudly.

It's not pretending to be generous, he really doesn't like this small amount of money, and participating in Leonard's coin digging operation is purely to have some fun when he has nothing to do.

Ron already knew that Bitcoin would rise sharply, how could he not be prepared?Although I don’t know the specific day when the banker headed by Musk pushed Bitcoin up, it is also to prevent holding too many Bitcoins in my hands from affecting the banker’s profit.

After all, Bitcoin is not the only virtual currency that capital can speculate on. If they can't get enough chips on Bitcoin, it's hard to guarantee that they won't set their sights on another virtual currency that Ron doesn't know. Entering indiscriminately and losing the wealth that should have been obtained, Ron did not hold Bitcoin on a large scale from the beginning.

Instead, wait until after each Bitcoin crash, and take advantage of the chaos to buy some low-priced Bitcoins. Just like this, I dare not buy too much, for fear of affecting the judgment of the dealer. Therefore, Ron only has a total of 1 in total indivual.

"Yeah!" Several people cheered and clapped hands.

After reaping such a large windfall all of a sudden, Leonard asked his friends how to spend it at a loss: "Guys, have you thought about how to spend such a large sum of money?"

"As a responsible adult, I will put all the money into fixed deposits, and when the fixed term expires, I will use it to buy a tiger as a pet, just like Tyson did." Rajesh said seriously.

"Are you sure you bought the tiger really as a pet, and not for other obscene purposes like you did with Tyson's tiger?" Ron expressed doubts about Raj's specific purpose for buying the tiger.

"I was drunk that time, okay?! I'm an Indian. We have always had a tradition of raising tigers. How can Indians be called obscene?"

Next, Raj muttered some obscure words about "Indian tradition" and "it is not indecent to have sex with animals", which caused everyone to laugh: the apartment was filled with cheerful air again.

Leonard could only throw the question back to Howard: "What about you? What are you going to do? Are you going to tell Bernadette?"

"I'm not going to tell her that I'm going to trade in the coolest sports car, the one driven by Ron's cake girl."

"Hehe, but you need to find those bitcoins first." Sheldon looked at everyone with his nostrils mockingly, just like Erkang who kept Ziwei from staying: "Let me guess, you will not plan to How about going to Howard's computer?"

"Of course not," Ron shook his head: "Howard's computer is not only a small movie, but also a small movie..."

Howard retorted with a blushing face: "That's all science!"

"Hehe, so you prefer Asian science?" Ron sneered: "Most of them are still the ones that use animation to demonstrate the way of human reproduction? And most of them contain ethics or..."

"Stop, stop!" Howard was exposed in person, and he shouted to stop ashamedly: "Well, my computer is full of small movies, and those things are definitely not in my computer. Who are they?"

"I remember that we used Leonard's computer to mine coins. Leonard, do you still have that computer?" Following Ron's words, everyone turned their attention to Leonard.

"Let me think about it, I seem to have lent that computer to Penny, and then Penny lent it to ex-boyfriend Zach." Leonard's head turned a little green.

"Huh? You don't have to bother to look for it. I stole all the bitcoins on your computer long ago. Ask me where are they?" Shelton felt that he was being ignored, and jumped out to find a sense of existence.

"What?! How could you do that!"

Everyone was furious, only Ron was indifferent: "Don't listen to him, Sheldon just moved the entire Bitcoin folder on your computer to his U disk. In fact, that's just what I expected. Sheldon would throw a tantrum and make a fake folder, and if he was smarter and clicked on the folder, he would find that it was a photo album of his childhood in women's clothing."

Shelton's eyes widened. He didn't expect that his actions had been predicted by Ron one step in advance.

"Then where are our bitcoins?"

"I stash them in Leonard's 'Science' folder along with the 'Actors Who Look Like Penny' folder, which, by the way, really does look like Penny, if It's not that the chest size is wrong, I almost thought it was a little video of you and Penny."

Ron looked at Leonard and said jokingly.

"Wow~" Everyone screamed together, Leonard was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig out a three-bedroom and one living room on the ground and get in.
