Chapter 49 Buying Bitcoin (Please read on! Three chapters today!)
When the host read out the pen name 'Xunyangjiangtou', most people in the audience were not surprised.

After all, "The Night Watchman" became the undisputed newcomer king based on the monthly votes in just two months, November and December.

The nearly 40,000 monthly votes accumulated over two months have already exceeded the total monthly votes of any new author's work in a year.

Besides, no other new book has been able to match the popularity of "The Night Watchman".

Therefore, there will be no controversy as to whether he wins the title of Rookie of the Year.

But with just this one work, he became a platinum author, and he was only eighteen years old!
These two pieces of news truly shocked everyone present, and everyone stared in amazement at this amazing young man.

As the Newcomer of the Year and a newly crowned Platinum Author, Jiang Xun was bound to give a speech on stage.

When he strode confidently onto the stage in a black suit, a murmur of discussion arose from the crowd.

Xiao Chen and Li Qingning, who were in the back row, were completely dumbfounded.

Even though Li Qingning didn't understand online novels, after Xiao Chen's explanation and the reactions of those around her,

She could roughly understand what an 18-year-old platinum author represented.

At this moment, she looked at Xiao Chen, whose expression was stiff, with a strange look in her eyes.

"Is the book Xiao Jiang wrote the one you mentioned, 'The Great Qin Night Watchman'?"

The name Jiang Xun is right there in Xunyang River, but they just hadn't thought of it that way before.

Xiao Chen's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but more than that, it was awkward.

It turns out that the work he was so lavishly praising was written by the country bumpkin he had repeatedly belittled.

His main goal in attending the annual meeting was to purchase the game adaptation rights for "The Great Qin Night Watchman".

At that moment, he felt like slapping himself twice.

At this moment, Jiang Xun on the stage won a round of enthusiastic applause from the audience with his humorous and concise speech.

Young people are great; they speak concisely and get straight to the point, finishing their sentences and stepping down from the stage.

Moreover, he has an excellent appearance and temperament, and his voice is strong and clear, showing no signs of nervousness or panic.

Anyone who wasn't a fool knew that this talented young man had a limitless future, and they all felt a desire to befriend him.

Xiao Chen's face flushed red, and he gripped the hem of his suit tightly, his eyes filled with a complex and unreadable expression.

At this point, the host announced the end of the first phase of the annual meeting and the start of the second phase, a free exchange activity.

Unlike the original talent shows of later generations, the annual meeting at the beginning of this era did not invite a bunch of celebrities and actors, or resemble a concert, which completely overshadowed the main event.

It primarily allows authors to exchange writing experiences with each other, and also provides opportunities for invited guests to interact with authors.

As soon as the exchange activity began, Jiang Xun was surrounded by a group of people.

Among those closest to him, besides Yang Huimin, were a group of platinum-level writers and several high-ranking executives from Xuanting Entertainment.

Some top-tier authors on Qidian.com can't even get a chance to be invited, let alone marginal guests like Xiao Chen.

About half an hour later, everyone gradually dispersed, allowing others to squeeze in.

"Are you still going over there?" Li Qingning asked, glancing calmly at Xiao Chen beside her.

"Go! How can I not go!" Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, and despite feeling awkward, he took the lead and walked towards Jiang Xun and Yang Huimin.

Li Qingning was somewhat surprised, but it also fit her assessment of him: a sophisticated egoist, opportunistic, but not stupid.

Seeing Xiao Chen and Li Qingning walking side by side, Jiang Xun and Yang Huimin exchanged a glance. The latter took the initiative to greet Li Qingning and whispered an explanation in her ear:
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that Jiang Xun didn't tell me. He said he wanted to give me a surprise."

"I guessed so, but I didn't expect Jiang Xun to be so capable and so unassuming." Li Qingning chuckled, glancing at Jiang Xun. Today, she was also wearing a suit, which strangely matched Jiang Xun's attire.

With her long, flowing black hair, bright red lips, and black suit, she looks like a leading lady in a workplace drama.

Jiang Xun and Yang Huimin clearly had no intention of explaining to Xiao Chen; instead, it was he who, with a somewhat unnatural expression, took out his business card.

"Brother Jiang Xun, let's get to know each other again. I am the head of Tianchen Games Company. This is my business card."

Xiao Chen forced a smile, his demeanor completely different from before.

Jiang Xun smiled and accepted the business card. He roughly understood what the other party meant; they obviously wanted to buy the game rights to his novel.

"If Mr. Xiao wants to discuss copyright issues, he may need to speak with the company's head. I only have a share of the copyright revenue."

Jiang Xun stated truthfully that, however, his platinum contract included a right of first refusal for all copyrights.

In other words, if Qidian wants to sell his copyright, they first have to ask him if he wants to buy it, so he has a lot of decision-making power.

Although for Jiang Xun, whether or not he buys back these copyrights is not of much significance, as his focus is not on online novels.

However, having absolute copyright will make things much easier in the future, whether it's making games, movies, or anything else.

Xiao Chen didn't expect Jiang Xun to be so direct, shutting him down with just one sentence.

He's not stupid. Judging from the attitude of the person in charge of Xuanting towards Jiang Xun, how could Jiang Xun not have a say in his own copyright?

To put it bluntly, I just don't want to sell it to him.

Although he felt aggrieved, he still shamelessly flattered Jiang Xun before turning to find the higher-ups at Xuan Ting.

Li Qingning was chatting with Yang Huimin, but her attention kept drifting to Jiang Xun.

After Xiao Chen left, she smiled lightly and looked at Jiang Xun:

"Jiang Xun, that's not very kind of you. You kept it from your older sister, weren't you just trying to make a fool of yourself?"

"How could I?" Jiang Xun smiled innocently. "How could I possibly show off my skills in front of Sister Qingning?"

"By the way, I also have something I'd like to ask Sister Qingning for help with. Why don't we sit down in the lounge and chat for a bit?"

“Okay, no problem.” Li Qingning readily agreed, but she was actually a little suspicious, wondering what Jiang Xun wanted to talk to her about.

At this moment, Yang Huimin moved closer to Jiang Xun, her small hand subtly tightening around his waist, while outwardly smiling and asking:

"What are you going to talk about? I wonder if I can join in?"

Jiang Xun could clearly sense a hint of murderous intent in her tone, and the soft flesh around his waist felt intensely threatened. He quickly smiled and said:
"Nonsense, what would I possibly be hiding from you?"

"Hmph! I knew you wouldn't dare." Yang Huimin snorted lightly, somewhat satisfied with his answer.

Li Qingning didn't think much of the interaction between the two; it's normal for cousins ​​to have a good relationship.

The three entered the lounge, and Jiang Xun went straight to the point:
“When I heard Sister Qingning talk about Bitcoin that day, I became very interested in this kind of currency that is not controlled by the traditional financial system.”

"So, I'd also like to buy a batch to test the waters. I'd like to entrust Sister Qingning to help me complete the transaction, and the commission will be according to your rules."

"Oh?" Li Qingning was slightly surprised when she heard Jiang Xun's words.

Jiang Xun had asked her about the price of Bitcoin on QQ before, but she didn't think much of it, since the other party was just a student.

But to my surprise, Jiang Xun actually wanted to buy them, and it was clear that he wasn't just buying a few to play around with.
