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

Li Yichen tossed his phone onto the coffee table.

The screen went dark.

The company registration is done.

He raised his left hand and glanced at the Patek Philippe on his wrist.

4:50 PM.

My stomach made a soft protesting sound at just the right time.

Li Yichen stood up from the sofa and looked around the surprisingly large first-floor lobby.

Spacious. Quiet.

He walked into the open kitchen and opened the double-door built-in refrigerator.

It was spotless inside. There wasn't even a bottle of mineral water.

The mansion, worth 800 million, is fully equipped with hardware facilities, but lacks any soft amenities.

There is no chef and no cleaner.

We can't rely on ordering takeout every day from now on.

We need to find someone.

Who should I contact?

Li Yichen went through the process in his mind.

Wang Lei.

This headhunter can find investment bank presidents with multi-million dollar annual salaries in just two days, so finding a cook would be a piece of cake.

He went back to the coffee table, picked up his phone, and dialed Wang Lei's number.

It beeped once. Answered instantly.

"Mr. Li, what can I do for you?"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Lei's address had been upgraded from "Mr. Li" to "General Manager Li".

"Find me a chef."

Li Yichen got straight to the point.

"A versatile chef, capable of cooking both Chinese and Western cuisine. Their skills must be comparable to those of an executive chef at a five-star hotel."

On the other end of the phone.

Wang Lei was sitting in a taxi on his way back to the company. He had just received 500,000 yuan in his account, and even breathing felt easy.

Upon hearing this request, he immediately sat up straight.

Looking for a chef. That's simply not within the scope of a high-end headhunter's business.

But so what?

As long as the money is right, I'll hire a chef, or even have him personally toss the wok.

"No problem, Mr. Li! Leave this to me."

Wang Lei patted his chest and guaranteed it.

"I'll contact the HR departments of several top hotels in Shanghai right away, and I'll definitely poach a top chef for you."

"Hurry up. There's not a single grain of rice in my villa; I'm waiting for someone to cook for me."

Li Yichen hung up the phone.

A distant source of water cannot quench an immediate thirst. No matter how fast the chef is, he won't be able to make it to today's meal.

He opened the food delivery app on his phone.

Positioned as Tomson Riviera.

After swiping around a bit, I chose a private restaurant with two Black Pearl diamonds.

I ordered two single-person Buddha Jumps Over the Wall set meals, which, including delivery, came to almost six thousand yuan.

Payment successful.

Li Yichen leaned back on the sofa and opened a short video app.

A female livestreamer with suggestive content popped up on the screen, dancing with her hips swaying.

He drew his thumb upwards.

Next up. Still dancing.

I swiped a few times in a row, then got bored.

Just as I was about to exit the software.

A call notification pops up at the top of the screen.

Liu Xiaoyu.

Li Yichen pressed the answer button.

"Yichen".

Liu Xiaoyu's voice came from the other end of the phone. The surrounding environment was somewhat noisy, and the sound of car horns could be faintly heard.

"Outside?"

Li Yichen asked a question.

"Um."

Liu Xiaoyu responded with a soft "yes," her words somewhat hesitant.

"Um... my brother knows about you asking me to start working at Liu's Pharmaceutical Company tomorrow."

She paused for a moment.

"In addition, you helped our family pay off the more than nine million yuan debt a while ago. My brother insists on treating you to a meal to express his gratitude in person."

Li Yichen mentally rehearsed the scenario.

He was well aware of the current financial situation of the Liu siblings.

In recent years, the brother and sister have been paying off debts, and they have hardly saved any money.

At this point, treating someone to a meal probably meant scraping together the money through gritted teeth.

If they refuse, both of them will feel indebted to the other, making them more reserved in their interactions later on.

Go there and put their minds at ease.

"Okay. Send me your location, I'm coming over now."

Li Yichen gave his answer.

"Okay! I'll send it to you right away."

Liu Xiaoyu's voice was noticeably lighter.

The phone hangs up.

A location information pops up in WeChat.

It is about eight kilometers away from Tomson Riviera.

Li Yichen stood up and walked towards the entrance.

A row of car keys hangs in a walnut storage box on the wall.

He casually picked a handful.

I took two steps and then stopped.

I looked up and gazed towards the third floor.

"Ji Yanran".

Li Yichen raised his voice and shouted.

The sound echoed in the high-ceilinged villa hall.

Third floor.

Inside the study.

Ji Yanran was sitting in front of the computer. The screen was filled with Hongyuan New Energy's financial statements and equity structure diagram.

I heard shouts from downstairs.

She took her hands off the keyboard, pushed back her chair, and strode out of the study.

I walked to the edge of the corridor, held onto the glass railing with both hands, and looked down.

Li Yichen was standing in the entryway, tossing a car key in his hand.

"Boss, what are the instructions?"

Ji Yanran asked.

"I'm going out for a bit and won't be back for dinner."

Li Yichen took the key.

"I ordered takeout. It'll be delivered in a bit, just open the door and get it yourself."

After saying that, he didn't give Ji Yanran a chance to reply.

He turned around and headed straight for the elevator leading to the underground parking garage.

Ji Yanran stood on the third-floor corridor, staring at the figure that disappeared behind the elevator doors.

My chest rose and fell slightly.

This guy drives around in his luxury car, having a good time.

They left her, the CEO and personal secretary, to eat takeout at the villa.

Evil capitalists.

She turned and walked back to the study.

For the sake of the money, I'll just have to order takeout.

She wants to finish the Hongyuan New Energy case as soon as possible, so she can drive a different sports car every day from those multi-million dollar cars in the garage.

basement.

The elevator doors opened.

Li Yichen came out.

The cool white motion sensor lights lit up one by one.

He pressed the car keys in his hand.

“Ding Di—”

Right in the middle of the garage.

The black Lamborghini Veneno flashed its lights twice.

The exaggerated aerodynamic kit made of carbon fiber looks extremely aggressive under the lights.

Li Yichen walked over and opened the butterfly door.

He crouched down and sat in the driver's seat.

Press the start button.

The V12 naturally aspirated engine was ignited instantly.

The roar of the engine exploded in the enclosed underground parking garage, shaking the ground.

Shift gears. Release the brake.

The black beast slowly drove out of the underground parking garage and onto the surface via the ramp.

The door opened.

Lamborghini Veneno merges into the evening rush hour traffic in Shanghai.

This car is really eye-catching.

Low-slung body and exaggerated rear wing.

The surrounding vehicles all braked and deliberately created a distance of more than ten meters.

The driver of a Land Rover Range Rover rolled down his window and took a series of photos of the poison from the side with his phone.

"Holy crap! A live poison! When did one of these appear in Shanghai?"

Li Yichen ignored the stares of those around him.

With one hand on the steering wheel, I followed the navigation prompts and drove towards my destination.

the other side.

A slightly outdated commercial street.

A home-style restaurant called "Juxinyuan".

The hall was filled with a dozen or so round tables and bustling with noise.

In a small private room by the window.

Liu Qiang and Liu Xiaoyu sat facing each other.

The windows of the private room faced the road and parking spaces outside the restaurant.

Liu Qiang held a laminated menu in his hand, looking at it over and over again.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He withdrew all the remaining two thousand yuan from his card today.

"Light rain."

Liu Qiang lowered his voice and pointed to a dish of boiled fish on the menu.

"Do you think Li Yichen, standing here, can still get used to the food in this kind of place?"

He was unsure of himself.

After all, the person he looked down on back then, who even made the other party break up with his sister, has now become a tycoon who can casually take out nine million to help them pay off their debts and then turn around and invest 1.5 billion in a pharmaceutical company.

Big shots of this caliber usually frequent private clubs or Michelin-starred restaurants.

Today I invited people to this kind of hole-in-the-wall restaurant where it costs 100 yuan per person.

I wonder if Li Yichen will mind.

Liu Xiaoyu pushed the teacup on the table over.

"Brother, don't overthink it."

She looked out the window.

"Yichen isn't the kind of person who cares about appearances. Before our family went bankrupt, he used to often eat barbecue with me at roadside stalls."

That being said...

But that was in the past.

Li Yichen has now reached a height that she can't even begin to fathom.

Liu Qiang put down the menu and rubbed his hands together.

"When Li Yichen arrives, let him order from the menu. If he doesn't have enough money, I'll leave my phone here as collateral and borrow some more tomorrow to make up the difference."

Twenty minutes later.

A powerful, oppressive engine roar came from the end of the street.

The sound was getting closer.

It completely drowned out the noise outside the food stalls.

Inside the private room.

Liu Xiaoyu turned her head and looked out the window.

A black sports car with an extremely exaggerated design slowly turned into the parking area in front of the restaurant, skidding along the ground.

The carbon fiber body reflected a cold light under the streetlights.

The diners around them who were eating barbecue all stopped what they were doing.

The group even forgot to eat their beer and skewers, staring intently at the car.

"What kind of car is this? It looks like Batman's vehicle."

"Is it a Lamborghini? With that chassis, wouldn't it wreck over a speed bump?"

A knowledgeable young man jumped up from his chair.

"That's poison! A Lamborghini Veneno! Only a handful were ever made worldwide, and it cost over a hundred million!"

These words were spoken.

The entire area in front of the restaurant instantly erupted in chaos.

A car worth over 100 million.

Why open a hole-in-the-wall restaurant like this where the average cost is 100 yuan per person? To eat?

Inside the private room.

Liu Qiang couldn't hear the discussions outside.

But he could see the shape of the car.

"This car doesn't look cheap."

He swallowed.

"I wonder which big boss came here to experience life."

The voice just fell.

The butterfly doors of the black sports car popped open.

A leg wearing black casual pants stepped out.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yichen stood up from the driver's seat.

White shirt, no tie.

He closed the car door behind him.

Liu Xiaoyu, who was in the private room, suddenly stood up.

The chair scraped against the floor with a screeching sound.

She didn't know how much the car was worth.

But she recognized the person who got out of the car.

"Yichen is here."

He left behind four words.

Liu Xiaoyu immediately opened the door to the private room and ran towards the restaurant entrance.

Liu Qiang stood there, stunned.

His gaze was fixed on the young man standing next to the sports car outside the window.

Li Yichen?

Driving a sports car of this caliber?

At the entrance of the restaurant.

Li Yichen pressed the lock button.

A group of people surrounded the area, but they all maintained a safe distance of more than two meters.

No one dared to approach.

They were terrified that even a tiny scratch on the paint would cost them their entire life.

Liu Xiaoyu pushed open the glass door of the restaurant and ran down the steps.

It stopped in front of Li Yichen.

"Yichen".

She glanced at the visually striking sports car next to her.

"Did you get a new car again?"

"Um."

Li Yichen nodded and put the car keys in his pocket.

"Let's go inside and talk, Xiaoyu."

Liu Xiaoyu immediately turned around and led the way.

The two walked through the hall.

The eyes of the surrounding diners followed them all the way until the two entered the private room by the window.

The door to the private room was pushed open.

Liu Qiang immediately jumped up from his chair.

I rubbed my hands together on the sides of my thighs a couple of times, and my back unconsciously bent down half an inch.

"Yichen".

He called out the name, his voice a little strained.

Before the Liu family went bankrupt, he looked down on Li Yichen, thinking he was just a poor boy who wasn't good enough for his sister.

just now.

Li Yichen drove a top-of-the-line sports car whose name he didn't even know to have dinner with him.

This disparity in their social status made him lack the courage to even look the other person in the eye.

At the same time, he was also extremely embarrassed, as the poor boy from before had now grown to a height that he could only look up to.

Li Yichen walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"Brother Liu, please have a seat. There's no need to be so polite."

He picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and poured another glass for Liu Qiang, showing no airs whatsoever.

Seeing this, Liu Qiang dared to sit down, but only on one side of the chair.

He pushed the laminated menu in front of Li Yichen with both hands.

"Yichen, the ambiance of this restaurant is so-so, but the food is alright."

Liu Qiang forced a smile.

"Please see what you'd like to eat. Order whatever you like."

Li Yichen glanced at the menu.

Boiled sliced ​​pork, 88 yuan.

Kung Pao Chicken, 66.

The most expensive main dish, braised pork knuckle, costs 168 yuan.

He did not refuse and took the disposable ballpoint pen from the side.

I randomly checked a few dishes on the menu, then pushed the menu back.

"Let's order these for now, that'll be enough."

Liu Qiang looked at the dishes that Li Yichen had marked on the menu.

These dishes cost less than 500 yuan in total.

He panicked.

"Yichen, this won't do. You've helped our family so much, how can we just eat these few dishes?"

He picked up his pen, preparing to add a few more dishes.

"Add a braised pork knuckle, and a grilled fish..."

Li Yichen raised his hand and pressed the menu.

"No need to add it."

He looked at Liu Qiang.

"Eating is to fill your stomach, Brother Liu. These dishes are enough. Ordering more would be a waste."

Li Yichen's words left Liu Qiang's hand frozen in mid-air.

My eyes suddenly started to sting.

He thought that now that Li Yichen had money, he would look down on them and take the opportunity to mock him for his past contempt.

but no.

The other party not only didn't put on airs, but also considered their wallets in every way.

"Yichen".

Liu Qiang put down his pen, covered his face with his hands, and rubbed it vigorously twice.

"I was a worthless person before."

He raised his head and looked directly at Li Yichen.

"I looked down on people and broke you and Xiaoyu up. I'm a bastard."

Li Yichen picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Brother Liu, let's not talk about the past."

He put down the cup.

"I helped you pay off that nine million because of Xiaoyu."

Li Yichen turned his head and glanced at Liu Xiaoyu sitting next to him.

"She's a good girl. She shouldn't have her life ruined by those debts."

Liu Xiaoyu lowered her head, her hands tightly clasped together.

Tears welled up in my eyes, but I held them back.

"Report to Liu's Group tomorrow."

Li Yichen got to the point.

"I'm entrusting you with the full responsibility of managing this 1.5 billion yuan dedicated fund."

He looked at Liu Xiaoyu.

"I don't look at the process, I only look at the result. Every expenditure must be clearly accounted for."

"Can you do a good job?"

Liu Xiaoyu suddenly raised her head.

Hold back your tears.

"able!"

She nodded emphatically.

"Yichen, don't worry. I will absolutely not allow a single penny of this money to be touched, except for the project on the special medicine!"

Li Yichen nodded.

"Okay, I believe you can do it, Xiaoyu."

The door to the private room was pushed open.

The waiter came in carrying a tray.

Five or six dishes were placed on the table, steaming hot.

"Brother Liu, Xiaoyu, time to eat."
