American Hunting: Starting with Solitary Life in the Wilderness

Chapter 103 Selling Bitcoin and New Investments

Before returning to China, Lin Yu'an decisively sold all his Bitcoin at the high point of 5.

When Bitcoin was priced at $20,000, Lin Yu-an decisively invested $900,000.

Now that the price has soared to a peak of $50,000, he has not hesitated to liquidate all his holdings.

The total amount of $2.25 million in his account excited him; it was no different from finding money on the street!
But there will still be a painful experience! The huge profits generated from this transaction, after deducting nearly $400,000 in capital gains taxes from the federal and Montana governments, amounted to a significant portion.

What he ultimately held in his hands was more than $1.86 million in cash.

A tax bill of $400,000 is enough to make many people feel heartbroken for a long time.

That evening, Lin Yu'an shared his joy at the high returns with Ailiya, her eyes filled with admiration! Supporting him was definitely the right thing to do!

Before the warm fireplace at McKinley Farm, the children were fast asleep, and Lin Yu'an gently pulled Alia into his arms.

“Honey, I have a bold idea about this money.”

Arya looked up, her emerald eyes filled with trust and curiosity in the firelight.

Lin Yu'an asked, "What do you think will completely change our world in the next ten years, like electricity and the internet?"

Arya pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know, but from the perspective of our mechanical engineering major, the combination of artificial intelligence and mechanics will be the major trend of the future."

"That's right, Arya is amazing! She's artificial intelligence!"

"But the real gold digger is never the gold miner, but the guy who sells shovels and jeans."

“I want to use most of our money to invest in that company that makes shovels and jeans.”

"I plan to invest a significant amount of $1.8 million in NVIDIA stock."

One million eight hundred thousand! That's almost all of their working capital.

She didn't question it, but simply asked softly, "Then... what about our lives and the development plans for Alaska? Do we still have enough money?"

Lin Yu'an gently stroked her hair: "I've calculated that after the investment, we'll still have more than $160,000 in cash flow left."

"After the $500,000 advance payment for the land by the 'Living Below Zero' program team, $400,000 was left, bringing the total to nearly $560,000 in cash."

"This money is more than enough to cover all our needs for building and living in Alaska for the next one to two years. What's more, the production team will also receive 300,000 yuan at the end of the year."

“I just feel that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We don’t need to use this money to earn a 10% or 20% annualized return; that’s too slow.”

"I hope we have the safest Roman road, one that we just need to wait for, rather than a thorny road that requires constant vigilance against risks."

"I believe this investment will be a driving force for our family's wealth, propelling us to a height that no storm can shake!"

Arya looked into her husband's eyes, and once again she unconditionally trusted his foresight.

She nodded and rested her head on his shoulder: "I support you, darling, I trust your judgment."

With his wife's support, Lin Yu'an felt completely at ease.

The reason why Lin Yu'an dared to bet his family's fate entirely on this one company is undoubtedly due to the information gap.

First, he knew a secret that was about to shock the world, but was still limited to a small number of tech circles in 2021.

A revolution called "AI" is on the horizon.

He recalls that a product called ChatGPT, like the first atomic bomb, completely ignited a global technology race.

At that time, all the tech giants, from Google to Microsoft, and countless emerging unicorns, will go crazy and buy up one thing at any cost—computing power.

And one of the "arms dealers" in this computing power war is Nvidia.

Secondly, he is well aware of how deep Nvidia's moat is, which is not only its hardware leadership, but also its CUDA software ecosystem, which it has painstakingly cultivated for more than a decade.

This ecosystem is like a giant magnetic field, firmly attracting millions of engineers worldwide.

This means that even if challengers create other chips, they will not be able to shake this vast and mature empire in the short term.

In the upcoming AI gold rush, Nvidia is not only selling shovels, but also monopolizing all the roads leading to the gold mine.

Finally, and most importantly, he clearly remembered a number.

At the point of his rebirth, Nvidia's stock price, after several stock splits and astonishing surges, had firmly reached an astronomical figure.

He quickly made a mental estimate.

2021年5月到7月英伟达应该有一次分割，那个时候分割前入手，可能就是540美金左右1股。

After the split, 3518 shares will immediately become 14072 shares!
In just two months, you can earn over $80! And if you add leverage...
Moreover, this is not even when the AI ​​wave sweeps the globe. By then, the value of each of the stocks he holds will be dozens of times that of when he bought them!
At that time, his $1.8 million investment will turn into a huge return that can easily earn him $40 million or even $60 million! That's more than any financial product!

Lin Yu-an has formulated a new investment plan and intends to buy Nvidia stock at a low price in May.

A weight was finally lifted from his heart.

A few days later, after more than ten hours of flying and various transfers, Lin Yu'an's plane landed in a fairly prosperous city in China.

Stepping out of the airport, Lin Yu'an was greeted by familiar air, slightly damp and filled with the scent of everyday life. His first stop was to visit his teacher's wife.

The taxi soon arrived at an old-style residential building that was quiet in the middle of the city. The aroma of food from the neighbors' homes could be smelled in the stairwell.

He walked skillfully to the third floor and gently knocked on the familiar security door.

The door opened, and an elderly woman with gray hair and a kind face appeared in the doorway.

The moment she saw Lin Yu'an, she was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes welled up with tears of joy.

"Xiao An...you...you're back!"

"Madam, I'm back."

Lin Yu'an's eyes also felt a little hot. He stepped forward and gently supported his teacher's wife's arm.

The teacher's wife pulled him into the house, looking him over and muttering, "You've gotten thinner and darker, but you're much stronger. Sit down, sit down, I'll get you some water."

The furnishings in the house were as simple and plain as ever, spotless.

A photo of the master still hangs on the wall. In the photo, the old man has piercing eyes, as if he is still watching over his most prized disciple.

Lin Yu'an bowed three times respectfully before his master's portrait.

The teacher's wife brought over a cup of hot tea, pulled him to sit down on the sofa, and began to ask about his recent situation.

Lin Yu-an did not hide anything, telling everyone about winning the prize money from participating in "Living Alone in the Wilderness," and about having a child with Alia and preparing to settle in Alaska.

He told his teacher's wife everything in detail.

He took out his phone and showed his teacher's wife photos of Arya and their two babies.

"Oh my, these two kids are so handsome!"

Looking at Ethan and Olivia's pale green eyes in the photo, the teacher's wife couldn't stop smiling.

"Mixed-race people are so beautiful! You are so lucky, Xiao An. If your master were watching from heaven, he would be very happy to see you now settled down and have your own family."

She asked with some concern, "That place...it's so cold, won't life be very hard?"

“It’s not hard, Master’s wife,” Lin Yu’an said with a smile.

"Master's wife, Brother Tian is still adrift at sea."

"Sigh~ Yes, he only comes back for a few days a year. His daughter has almost forgotten what her father looks like."

"Teacher's wife, please take it easy. This is Brother Tian's mission and responsibility. We should just support him."

"Actually, besides seeing you, there's another reason I came back this time."

"I was busy with the kids in the US during the Chinese New Year, so I only called to wish you a Happy New Year."

He took out a bank card from his backpack and gently placed it on the coffee table in front of his teacher's wife.

“Madam, there are four million here.”

The teacher's wife was startled by the number and quickly waved her hands, "No, no! Xiao An, you have your own home and children to raise. I have everything you need. Take it back quickly!"

"Madam, please listen to me."

Lin Yu'an held his teacher's wife's hand, his tone sincere and firm.

“Madam, I now have the ability to create a good life for myself and my family.”

“This money is my way of showing my respect to you and my teacher. My teacher’s greatest wish before he passed away was to help more talented but disadvantaged children like me.”

“I know that you, like him, have always been thinking about those children.”

"So, here's the money! You can use it however you want."

“You can use the money to improve your life, send your grandson to a better school, move to a bigger house, and hire a nanny to take care of you.”

"Or use it to set up a fund to support children in need and continue the teacher's wish."

"It's all up to you. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Lin Yu'an knew that, given his teacher's wife's character, she would never use the money for herself.

This four million will eventually be transformed into donations, flowing to those who need it most.

This is also the best way for him to repay his master.

Seeing Lin Yu'an's unwavering gaze, the teacher's wife finally couldn't hold back her tears.

She wiped her eyes and solemnly put the card away: "Okay...okay...Thank you on behalf of the children."

After enjoying a hot and memorable lunch at his teacher's wife's house, Lin Yu-an got up to say goodbye.
