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

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

The store was noisy.

Xiao Yuqing's college classmates and internet celebrity friends were still processing the shock they had just experienced, surrounding Han Fei and the others with all sorts of questions.

Han Fei was a show-off, and he talked animatedly about how Li Yichen spent a fortune buying luxury cars at the auto show and how he negotiated business with CEO Wang of Bidi.

Liu Bing occasionally chimed in, while Liu Xue leaned against the display case, smiling at Xiao Yuqing.

Xiao Yuqing did not participate.

She walked over to Li Yichen and tugged at his sleeve.

"Little Li".

"Um?"

"Did you arrange all that outside...?"

Li Yichen did not deny it.

Why didn't you say so before?

"If I told you, would you still feel safe opening your shop?"

Xiao Yuqing choked.

She thought about it and agreed.

If she had known Li Yichen was making such a big fuss, she probably wouldn't have been able to sleep well these past few days.

"Thank you," she said softly.

"Don't mention it." Li Yichen patted her shoulder. "You have to make a splash when you open your store, otherwise who will know you have a shop here?"

Before Xiao Yuqing could say anything more, Liu Yue came over and interrupted her.

"Yuqing! It's almost time!"

The clock on the wall pointed to past nine.

The store fell silent instantly.

Everyone looked towards the doorway.

Xiao Yuqing took a deep breath.

She walked to the door and placed her hand on the doorknob.

I glanced back.

Li Yichen stood by the cashier and nodded to her.

Xiao Yuqing pushed open the door.

The wind chimes tinkled.

The morning sunlight streamed in, shining on the gleaming floor tiles.

"Qingchen Pavilion is officially open for business!"

She called out, her voice not loud, but very clear.

A crowd of onlookers had already gathered outside the door.

That train convoy was so eye-catching, the whole street has heard about it.

As soon as the store door opened, the crowd surged over.

"Congratulations on your grand opening!"

Congratulations!

"What's the deal with this shop? Why are so many big shots sending flower baskets?"

The discussions were mixed with congratulations.

Xiao Yuqing stood at the door with a smile on her face, inviting customers into the store.

The three female shop assistants immediately got to work.

One person guided visitors at the entrance, while two others introduced the exhibits in front of the display cases.

The store quickly filled up with people.

Li Yichen didn't move forward.

He retreated to a corner and watched Xiao Yuqing busy herself.

This girl is really capable.

Greeting guests, introducing products, and handling unexpected situations all in an orderly manner.

University classmates and online celebrity friends also helped out.

Han Fei and his group stayed for a while and then left, saying they would come back at noon.

Time flies.

Before we knew it, it was past eleven o'clock.

There were fewer people in the store.

After seeing off a group of guests, Xiao Yuqing walked over to Li Yichen.

"You must be exhausted?" Li Yichen asked.

"It's alright." Xiao Yuqing wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Busyer than I expected."

"How's business?"

"We've already made seven sales since we opened," Xiao Yuqing said, her eyes shining. "One of them was from a lady who bought a diamond necklace worth over 30,000 yuan. She didn't even blink when she swiped her card."

"good."

"Thanks to those flower baskets," Xiao Yuqing said honestly. "The first thing many people asked when they came in was what was going on with all those congratulatory gifts outside."

Li Yichen smiled.

He took out his phone and glanced at the time.

"It's noon. I've booked a private room. I'd like to treat everyone to lunch."

"Huh?" Xiao Yuqing was taken aback. "No need, everyone can just eat whatever they want..."

"It's the first day of opening, we should celebrate," Li Yichen interrupted her. "It's just a five-minute walk from the Hyatt nearby."

After he finished speaking, he shouted into the store.

"Everyone, lunch is on me at the Hyatt Hotel. Don't leave!"

The store instantly erupted in excitement.

"Hyatt? The five-star one?"

"Boss Li is so generous!"

"Yuqing, your boyfriend is so amazing!"

Xiao Yuqing's friends and classmates immediately gathered around.

Everyone's face was filled with excitement.

They don't usually have the opportunity to eat at places like that.

Li Yichen waved his hand.

"Someone needs to stay and watch the shop." He looked at the three female employees. "The three of you take turns going, one at a time, and then switch shifts after you finish eating."

"Thank you, Mr. Li!" the three shop assistants said in unison.

Xiao Yuqing made some arrangements.

In the end, it was decided that one of the shop assistants, Xiao Wang, would go to eat first, while the other two would stay at the shop.

The group left the store.

Li Yichen led the way, with Xiao Yuqing beside him, followed by a large group of more than a dozen girls.

Walking on the streets of Lujiazui, you'll definitely turn heads.

The Hyatt Hotel is just two blocks away.

Li Yichen booked a large private room in advance, which could seat twenty people.

The waiter led them inside.

The private room was luxuriously decorated, with crystal chandeliers, genuine leather seats, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the river.

"My God..." Liu Yue exclaimed in a low voice as soon as she entered, "How much does a meal cost here?"

"It'll cost at least ten or twenty thousand," the girl with glasses replied.

"Ten or twenty thousand?" the short-haired girl exclaimed in surprise. "That's enough for my living expenses for three months."

The group whispered among themselves and found a place to sit down.

Li Yichen sat in the main seat, with Xiao Yuqing next to him.

The waiter handed over the menu.

Li Yichen took it without even flipping through it.

"Bring us all our signature dishes."

He paused.

"Open two more bottles of red wine, the good stuff."

"Yes, sir." The waiter noted it down and turned to leave.

The food was served very quickly.

Lobster, abalone, steak, foie gras... one dish after another, filling the entire table.

The red wine had been decanted and the waiter poured it for everyone.

Li Yichen picked up his wine glass.

"Thank you all for coming to Yuqing's grand opening today."

He looked at Xiao Yuqing.

"May Qingchen Pavilion prosper and its wealth increase."

"Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses.

The glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.

This meal took almost two hours to finish.

The girls were a little reserved at first, but they opened up and chatted while eating.

They talked about embarrassing things that happened in college, their current jobs, and Xiao Yuqing's shop.

Li Yichen didn't talk much, occasionally chiming in, but mostly listening.

He didn't eat much; he only took a few bites before putting the food down.

Xiao Yuqing noticed it.

"Not to your liking?"

"No," Li Yichen shook his head, "I ate too much this morning."

Actually, I just don't have an appetite.

He was still thinking about the chip.

It was past 1 p.m. when we finished the meal.

Liu Bing, Liu Xue, and Han Fei said goodbye first, saying they had another gathering that evening.

Xiao Yuqing's friends and classmates also said they would go back and rest, and then get together again in the evening.

Li Yichen paid the bill.

When I swiped my card, the waiter announced a number.

"Sir, the total is 148,600 yuan."

The girls behind them gasped in shock when they heard this.

The meal cost nearly 150,000 yuan.

What does this mean?

Li Yichen signed the contract without changing his expression.

He took Xiao Yuqing back to the store.

The three shop assistants had finished their shift and lunch and were now organizing the morning's sales records.

"How much did you make this morning?" Xiao Yuqing asked.

"Over 127,000!" Xiao Wang exclaimed excitedly. "Sister Xiao, our store is going to be a hit!"

Xiao Yuqing nodded, feeling a little more at ease.

Li Yichen stayed in the store for a while.

He saw that Xiao Yuqing was very busy, so he didn't disturb her.

About half an hour later, he got up.

"I'm going back now."

Xiao Yuqing was checking the accounts when she looked up.

"Aren't you having dinner with us tonight?"

"No, thank you," Li Yichen said. "I have other things to do at the company."

Xiao Yuqing put down her notebook and walked over.

"Then you go ahead with your work, I can handle things at the shop."

"Okay." Li Yichen patted her hair. "Call me if you need anything."

"Know."

Li Yichen turned and walked out.

Xiao Yuqing saw him to the door.

"Little Li".

Li Yichen turned around.

"Thank you," Xiao Yuqing said earnestly. "If it weren't for you, the opening wouldn't have gone so smoothly today."

"Why talk about this?" Li Yichen waved his hand. "Let's go."

He pushed open the door and went out.

The wind chimes tinkled once.

Xiao Yuqing stood at the door, watching his figure disappear around the street corner.

Back to the Future Technology Building.

Li Yichen took the elevator directly to the 31st floor.

The door opened.

The familiar smell of ozone and coolant wafted over me.

In front of the console, the three curved screens were still lit.

The data stream flows like a waterfall.

Twenty Zhongqing robots are still in operation.

The robotic arm rises and falls, the wafer is fed into the equipment, removed, and cut.

The entire workshop was so quiet that only the low hum of the equipment could be heard.

He returned to the control panel, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"Ling'er".

The phone screen lights up.

A cute chibi-style character popped out.

"elder brother!"

Tell me about the current production progress.

"Brother, as of 3 p.m., a total of 1,987 chips have been produced, with a yield rate of 82.3%. The equipment is running smoothly without any malfunctions."

Ling'er recited a series of data.

"Very good." Li Yichen nodded.

He leaned back in his chair, watching the scrolling parameters on the screen.

He was calculating in his head.

More than 1,900 pieces.

At $10,000 per unit, that's nearly $20 million.

Converted to RMB, that's 140 million.

And this is just the beginning.

Once the chip factory is built, production will increase several dozen times.

At that time...

Li Yichen didn't think any further.

He stood up and walked around the workshop.

He then turned and left.

Take the elevator down to the 28th floor.

I pushed open the office door and entered.

Ji Yanran isn't here; she's probably busy with things at the chip factory.

Li Yichen walked behind the desk and sat down.

My phone rang as soon as I turned on my computer.

He took it out and glanced at it.

Caller ID: Gu Shounian.

Li Yichen pressed the answer button and turned on speakerphone.

"Colonel Gu."

"Mr. Li," Gu Shounian's voice came through the receiver, the background noise was very clear, "the chip verification results are in."

Li Yichen did not respond.

To be continued.

"Three groups of experts were organized to conduct performance testing, structural analysis, and reverse engineering, respectively."

Gu Shounian paused.

"The conclusion is consistent."

"The chip you gave me was indeed manufactured using a 0.5-nanometer process."

"The performance data matches the test report you provided perfectly."

"Even... its performance under certain extreme conditions was better than what was written in the report."

A slight smile appeared on Li Yichen's lips.

"so?"

"So the higher-ups have agreed to your request."

Gu Shounian spoke very frankly.

"First, all chip orders in the fields of military, aerospace, supercomputing, and artificial intelligence will go to Future Technology."

"The price is as you said, ten thousand US dollars per piece."

"Secondly, future chips produced by this technology will be unrestricted for export, with all procedures proceeding smoothly."

"But there's a prerequisite."

Li Yichen asked with a smile.

"Colonel Gu, you speak."

"0.5-nanometer chips can only be used domestically and must never be exported."

Gu Shounian's voice turned somber.

"The 1.5-nanometer version can be sold in the civilian market and also exported."

"However, the recipients of the export must be approved."

"Some countries and some companies cannot be sold."

Li Yichen smiled.

"Colonel Gu, I understand."

"That's good." Gu Shounian breathed a sigh of relief. "The specific details are hard to explain over the phone."

"I'll treat you to dinner at Dashengli Private Kitchen at 6 PM."

"Let's eat and chat."

"OK."

"Then it's settled."

The phone hangs up.

Li Yichen threw his phone on the table.

He leaned back in the boss's chair, sinking into it completely.

It became.

The chip has passed verification.

Order received.

Green light for exit.

Everything was going according to his plan.

Li Yichen closed his eyes.

Consciousness sank deep into the mind.

The wealth system panel appeared before my eyes.

[Host: Li Yichen]

[Wealth Level: 10]

Passive income: 51.2 yuan/second

[Next upgrade requirement: Spending 100 billion yuan (Current progress: approximately 20 million/100 billion)]

[Wealth Gift Pack x2 (Unopened)]

Level 10.

He was promoted from level eight.

Li Yichen calculated the time.

About two months.

He did spend a lot of money in the past two months.

The first and second phases of the super battery factory have cost more than 15 billion yuan.

Buying that batch of equipment upstairs will cost another several billion.

The new energy battery factory has been overwhelmed with orders these past few months, and they've spent over a billion yuan on materials alone during this period.

There are also the company's daily operations, employee salaries, social security, and various expenses.

All things considered, it comes to a little over 20 billion.

On average, it amounts to 10 billion per month.

He himself felt that the speed at which he spent money was a bit outrageous.

But the effect was also obvious.

The wealth level has been upgraded from level eight to level ten.

Passive income per second increased from 12.8 yuan to 51.2 yuan.

That's over 4.4 million a day.

More than 130 million a month.

Sixteen billion a year.

He wouldn't have dared to dream of such money before.

but now……

Li Yichen twitched the corner of his mouth.

Sixteen billion is indeed nothing compared to the profits brought by Future Technology Company.

He earned 100 billion just from licensing fees for Thor batteries.

And then there's the battery factory at Future New Energy, they're getting tons of orders, and that's all money in the bag!

Once the first and second phases of the factory are completed, chip mass production will begin and orders will be rolled out.

That's the real money-printing machine.

Unless the wealth system is upgraded several more times.

Reach level 15, then level 20.

Back then, passive income could really reach 100 million a day.

36.5 billion a year.

Only then can it compete with the company's profits.

Li Yichen opened his eyes.

He looked at the two floating wealth packages deep in his mind.

The packaging is gold, with intricate patterns printed on it.

One item is given for each level up, from level 1 to level 10.

He had already opened eight before, and the items inside were all very useful.

Raytheon battery technology.

Ling'er's core code.

The complete process of photonic current-carrying wafers.

Each of them is something that can change the world.

Now I've saved up two more.

Li Yichen stared at the two gift bags for a long time.

His fingers twitched.

Think positively.

But I held back.

I need to see Gu Shounian tonight.

After finishing our business, we went home and drove peacefully.

He withdrew from his mind.

I opened my eyes again.

The office lights had dimmed.

Outside the window, the sun is setting.

Orange light streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows on the floor.

Li Yichen stood up and walked to the window.

He looked at the buildings in Lujiazui in the distance.

The glass curtain wall reflected the last rays of light.

This city will always be so bustling.

There will always be people busy making money and people busy spending money.

And now, he stands at the very top of the food chain.

Overwhelm with technology.

Before anyone could react, they snatched the biggest piece of the cake.

The chip is just the second step.

There's a third step, a fourth step...

Li Yichen took out his phone and glanced at the time.

5:20 PM.

It's time to go.

He turned around and picked up his car keys.

Push the door open and go out.

In the underground parking garage, the U8 sits quietly, looking up at it.

Li Yichen opened the car door and got in.

Start the car.

The motor hummed softly.

The car drove out of the garage and merged into the evening rush hour traffic.

Ling'er's voice came from the car stereo.

"Brother, shall we go to Dashengli Private Kitchen?"

"Um."

"The route has been planned, and we expect to arrive in 25 minutes."

Li Yichen leaned back in his seat, watching the street scene flash by outside the window.

One by one, the neon lights lit up.

The night in Shanghai has only just begun.

What he was going to discuss was a business deal that could change the technological landscape of the country.
