Super Rich: Starting the game by going back ten years to buy Bitcoin

Xiao Yuqing dropped the half-cake in her hand to the ground.

A small white blob of cream splattered on the tile.

She didn't pick it up.

He just stared blankly out the window.

The train convoy had already stopped in front of the shop.

A black Rolls-Royce Phantom led the way, followed by a dozen or so top-of-the-line luxury cars that gradually shut off their engines, bringing the entire street to a quiet.

The car door opened.

One by one, men and women dressed in formal attire and exuding a capable air stepped out of the car.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized. They opened the trunk and took out a luxurious celebratory flower basket that was far larger than an ordinary flower basket—no, it could no longer be called a flower basket; it was more like a meticulously designed bonsai.

The base is made of rosewood with gilded trim. The flowers are all imported Ecuadorian roses and orchids, and a greeting card made of pure gold is inlaid in the center.

Each bonsai is at least one meter tall, and it takes two people to barely move it.

"My God..." Liu Yue covered her mouth, her eyes wide open.

Those internet celebrity friends had gone crazy, their phone cameras were pointed at the outside world, their fingers were shaking violently from excitement, and they kept muttering to themselves.

"Quick, take a picture!"

"This lineup...this lineup..."

"Rolls-Royce! Bentley! Maybach!"

"Is that an Aston Martin DBX in the back? A limited edition!"

The university students looked at each other, their faces filled with bewilderment and shock.

"Yuqing..." The girl with glasses tugged at Xiao Yuqing's sleeve, her voice trembling, "What... what's going on?"

Xiao Yuqing did not answer.

She doesn't know either.

The first middle-aged man to step forward had already reached the store entrance.

He was wearing a dark gray suit and gold-rimmed glasses. Instead of carrying a bonsai, he was holding an exquisite sandalwood box.

He pushed the door open and came in.

The wind chimes tinkled once.

Everyone in the store instinctively held their breath.

The middle-aged man's gaze swept around and landed on Xiao Yuqing.

He walked over with a smile and gave a slight bow.

"Ms. Xiao, congratulations on your grand opening."

His voice was gentle, but carried a certain composure of someone who had long held a high position.

Xiao Yuqing opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

The middle-aged man handed over the sandalwood box with both hands.

"On behalf of Mr. Wang, General Manager of BYD Group, I am here to offer my congratulations."

"Mr. Wang said, 'This is just a small gift, nothing more. I wish Ms. Xiao a prosperous business and abundant wealth.'"

Xiao Yuqing mechanically took the box.

Shen.

The box felt cool to the touch, with intricate cloud patterns engraved on its surface, and had a delicate feel.

Before she could react, the second person had already entered.

She was a woman around forty years old, wearing a Chanel suit and with exquisite makeup.

She was followed by two young assistants carrying a huge bonsai.

"Ms. Xiao, Mr. Zeng from Ningwang Group wishes you great success in your business."

The lady smiled politely and gestured to her assistant to place the bonsai in the most prominent position by the entrance.

"President Zeng said that in the future, Qingchenge will be given priority in all employee welfare procurement for Ningwang Group."

the third.

Fourth place.

Fifth place.

The shop door was pushed open again and again.

The wind chimes tinkled and jingled incessantly.

"We are your future technology partner, entrusted by General Manager Lei of DaMi Company. We wish you a successful opening."

"Mr. Li from NIO congratulates Ms. Xiao on her grand opening."

"General Manager Yu of Yaoyao Lingxian Company specially sent me to deliver this congratulatory gift."

"Guoxuan Materials..."

"Baoge Group..."

One after another, well-known company names were announced.

Each of them is an industry giant or a top supplier.

Flower baskets and bonsai quickly filled the store entrance.

The once spacious sidewalk was mostly occupied, and colorful flowers and gilded greeting cards dazzled in the morning light.

Passersby stopped and took out their phones to take pictures.

"Whose store is opening today? Such a big opening!"

"Qingchen Pavilion... a jewelry store? Never heard of it."

"Look at those greeting cards! Bidi! Ningwang! Da Mi! They're all giants!"

"Who is this boss?"

Whispers came from outside the door.

Xiao Yuqing stood there, still holding the sandalwood box in her hands.

She turned her head and looked at Li Yichen.

Li Yichen leaned against the cashier's counter, holding the half-finished bottle of water in his hand, his expression indifferent.

It's as if everything outside has nothing to do with him.

But Xiao Yuqing knew.

It must be him.

Only him.

At this point, the last representative had also finished presenting his congratulatory gift.

Representatives from forty or fifty companies did not leave immediately.

They stood neatly outside the shop, facing inwards, and bowed slightly.

Congratulations, Ms. Xiao, on your grand opening!

The sounds were synchronized and carried far through the streets in the early morning.

Then they turned around and got back into their cars.

The engines started up one after another.

The convoy slowly drove away.

Just like when they arrived, they were quiet, orderly, and carried an undeniable aura.

The shop was deathly silent.

Everyone stared at the mountain of congratulatory gifts piled up outside the door.

Sunlight shone on the gilded greeting card, reflecting a dazzling light.

A full half minute passed.

Liu Yue was the first to react.

She turned around abruptly and grabbed Xiao Yuqing's shoulder.

"Rainy Day!"

His voice rose, trembling.

"When did you get to know so many big shots?!"

"Tell me quickly! What exactly happened?!"

Other girls immediately surrounded them as well.

They all talked at once.

"That's right! Mr. Wang, CEO of Bidi! Mr. Zeng, CEO of Ning! Mr. Lei, CEO of Dami!"

"And NIO is far ahead!"

"This lineup...this lineup..."

"Yuqing, you kept this from us for so long!"

Xiao Yuqing was surrounded by them, her ears ringing.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

In the end, she could only raise her hand and point at Li Yichen.

Don't ask me.

The voice is a bit dry.

"I don't have that kind of face."

"They're all after him."

brush--

All eyes turned to Li Yichen.

Li Yichen was still leaning against the cashier, twirling the bottle of water in his hand.

His expression didn't change much.

"Him?" The short-haired girl frowned. "Leonardo DiCaprio? What happened to him?"

Xiao Yuqing took a deep breath.

She knew she couldn't hide it anymore.

There's no need to hide it anymore.

"You've probably heard of Future Technology, right?"

She spoke slowly and deliberately.

"He is Li Yichen, the boss of Future Technology."

The shop fell silent again.

Dead silence.

The expressions on the girls' faces froze.

Future technology.

These four words have dominated almost every financial and technology news section and headline in the past month.

Thunderobot Battery Launch Event.

Technical parameters of the compaction stage.

Global automakers are scrambling for these orders.

And there's also the rumored mysterious and young founder.

Of course they had heard of it.

I just never associated that name with the old classmate in front of me, dressed in an ordinary T-shirt and jeans, with a stubble on his chin.

"Future technology?" the girl with glasses murmured repeatedly.

She looked at Li Yichen, her gaze shifting from bewilderment to shock, and then to an almost absurd disbelief.

"You mean... that futuristic technology that created Thor's battery?"

"Mm." Xiao Yuqing nodded.

"That Future Technology, the company that collected over 6 billion yuan in deposits at a single press conference and caused the stock prices of BYD and Ningwang to plummet?"

"Um."

"That mysterious boss, with barely a few photos of him online—that's the future technology?"

"Um."

Three "hmm" sounds.

Like three heavy hammer blows, striking everyone's heart.

Liu Yue released her grip on Xiao Yuqing's shoulder and took a half step back.

She stared at Li Yichen, looking him up and down as if she were seeing him for the first time.

"Li Yichen..."

She spoke, her voice weak and unsteady.

"You...you're really the boss of Future Technology?"

Li Yichen put down the water bottle.

"Doesn't look like it?"

"It's not that it doesn't look like it..." Liu Yue shook her head, stammering, "It's...it's too similar...no, it's too dissimilar...I mean..."

She couldn't continue.

The other girls were about the same.

Their gazes towards Li Yichen changed completely.

What started as a joke has turned into shock, awe, and a hint of barely concealed flattery.

"Yichen..." The round-faced girl leaned closer, her face beaming, "You're amazing!"

"You're quite the hidden talent, Mr. Li!"

"You've only been out of school for a few years, and you've already caused such a stir!"

"You'll have to look out for your old classmate in the future!"

"Yeah, yeah, we're in the same class!"

"If you come across any good projects in the future, remember to include us!"

They all talked at once.

His tone was so warm it bordered on obsequious.

Li Yichen listened without showing any expression on his face.

He waited until they finished speaking before speaking.

"You flatter me."

The voice was very faint.

"We're all friends; today is mainly to celebrate Yuqing's opening."

That was a polite way of putting it, but it clearly carried a distance.

The girls realized what he meant, smiled awkwardly, and stopped surrounding him.

But the way they looked at Xiao Yuqing now held a hint of envy.

"Yuqing, you really are..."

The short-haired girl held Xiao Yuqing's hand, her tone complicated.

"With a boyfriend like this, what's there to worry about in the future?"

"That's right, that's right! From now on, we'll all be counting on you!"

Xiao Yuqing felt a little uncomfortable after what they said.

She pulled her hand away.

"Don't talk nonsense, opening a shop is my own business."

"I know, I know, you're an independent woman!"

Liu Yue smiled mischievously, but the envy in her eyes was unmistakable.

Just then, the sound of an engine came from outside the door.

This time it wasn't the deep roar of a luxury car, but the high-pitched sound of a sports car.

"besides?"

Liu Yue turned to look out the window.

Two cool supercars were parked one after the other in front of the store.

A bright yellow Ferrari 488 and a matte gray Lamborghini Huracan.

The car door opened.

Han Fei jumped out of the Ferrari first, carrying a huge flower basket in his hand.

Liu Bing and Liu Xue also emerged from the Lamborghini, each carrying a congratulatory gift.

The three were dressed in trendy brands, wearing sunglasses, and walking with a confident stride.

"Brother Chen!"

Han Fei shouted at the top of his lungs as soon as he entered the door.

"Sister-in-law! Congratulations on your grand opening!"

He chuckled as he placed the flower basket at the doorway, then walked over and patted Li Yichen on the shoulder.

"How's it going? We're not late, are we?"

"Perfect," Li Yichen said.

Liu Bing and Liu Xue also came over.

"Brother Chen, Sister-in-law." Liu Bing handed a delicate gift box to Xiao Yuqing. "It's a small token of my appreciation. I wish you a prosperous business."

"Thank you." Xiao Yuqing accepted it.

Liu Xue then moved closer to Li Yichen and lowered her voice.

"Brother Chen, those congratulatory gifts outside...were all arranged by you?"

Li Yichen did not deny it.

"Impressive." Liu Xue gave a thumbs up. "Now the whole of Lujiazui knows that Qingchen Pavilion has powerful connections."
