I am not Ximen Qing.

Chapter 149 Billions

Song Yu is a shrewd opportunist. Regardless of the circumstances, his internet major was well worth the investment. He went astray on his entrepreneurial journey and almost became a decoration boss. At the critical moment, Jiang Tao's Internet Goddess project saved Song Yu's entrepreneurial fate. So far, at least in the internet field, whether in a broad or narrow sense, he is successful.

Success wasn't about entrepreneurship and innovation changing the world, but rather about speculating on the internet. From domains, web pages, websites, and apps to internet finance, and even Bitcoin Beat—the last revolution in digital currency—it was at least a speculative success. Human success always happens at the forefront of opportunities; can't we call that success too? Following the logic of money, choosing profitable industries or methods is key, not just one of the countless professions available. Some people are born to make money, while most ordinary people spend their lives thinking about making money. The internet is the best platform for entrepreneurship and innovation. The creation and invention of the PU (Power Supply) once dominated all the stores and counters in Zhongguancun, with a dazzling array of PU accessories. It had a somewhat catastrophic feel. Motherboards, graphics cards, hard drives, memory, CPUs, power supplies, cases, monitors, mice, keyboards—the entire computer world, encompassing all manufacturers, reveals a truly philosophical flavor in the glorious innovation of the internet.

Hardware eventually takes a backseat; external aspects must yield all the glory to internal performance. This is the era of the ubiquitous internet. Song Yu is undoubtedly fortunate to be able to cooperate with Jinghua in internet finance, which also has a decentralized aspect reminiscent of blockchain. From Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin blockchain protocol released in November 2008, Nakamoto's innovation is complex. The Federal Reserve can issue US dollars, and the internet can create Bitcoin, a decentralized virtual digital currency. After Jinghua established Foshou Company in 2008 and obtained a financial payment license, consider this: when POS machines were everywhere in Zhongguancun, Bitcoin and internet finance were all around. Song Yu established branches across the country according to Jinghua's strategic layout, which was much easier than establishing a branch of Goddess Internet. In the internet finance industry, Foshou Company is considered an outstanding and stable company. When Song Yu was at his lowest point, his logic was to make money and be close to money. However, while Jinghua had become a billionaire like in the American TV series, Song Yu was still tormented by his girlfriend's sarcastic remarks every day. She was a gold-digging woman created by a combination of Xia Jingui and Yan Poxi. Fortunately, Jinghua rescued Song Yu from his girlfriend's ridicule. Money! Money... Song Yu thought to himself, he should have partnered with Jinghua much earlier. Actually, in terms of blockchain decentralization, Song Yu was just one point in Jinghua's strategy. To make money, you not only need to be close to money, but you also have to actively seek out and associate with the wealthy. It's unclear what Song Yu was thinking back then. This old man in Beijing, who didn't even own a house and was constantly ridiculed by his young girlfriend, showed no fear in front of Jinghua. Indeed, becoming a billionaire node in just one year, Song Yu was at least middle class. Internet finance is the fastest way to make money; just adding "internet" to "finance" is enough. Billionaire Jinghua... With its expansion into the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, India, and Russia, the company capitalized on the relatively relaxed global financial environment, allowing its former employees to make money in the Philippines. Many startups adopted a partnership model for overseas expansion. Jinghua Capital's investment in Foshou Company led to a boom in its global financial business. The internet has been constantly changing the world, providing many talents with opportunities for success. It broke traditional monopolies, embodying the spirit of freedom and liberation. Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin was a true creation in the modern sense. What is money? It can be seashells, gold, silver, or bronze. The minting rights of the feudal states during the Salt and Iron Discourses era, and Yuan Shikai's political legacy after his ascension to the throne as emperor—the "Yuan Shikai Dollar"—continued to fuel the Kuomintang's defeat. Even today, the Yuan Shikai Dollar remains the most valuable silver coin for collectors. This demonstrates the importance of understanding the essence and concept of money in both a narrow and broad sense.

Bitcoin, born in the internet age, and various other digital virtual currencies that followed, such as Ethereum (ETH), are decentralized, open-source, and programmable. Ordinary miners can mine using mining machines, creating Bitcoin and Ethereum daily. In fact, virtual digital currencies allow the world to better understand the essential meaning of money, breaking the perception of fiat currency and precious metals as the monetary attributes of money. Bitcoin and Ethereum can replace gold and silver in circulation, interpreting the meaning and value of money in another form. Elon Musk, who has been renting a place and created SpaceX and Tesla, is perhaps the person in the world who understands the monetary attributes and value of Bitcoin and Ethereum digital currencies the most. Jinghua simply made a phone call to Song Yu to inquire about the progress of film art, which made Song Yu feel very awkward.

Starve Arts always seems to have copyright issues, which is quite frustrating for him. Being with his girlfriend is expensive! Love and romance are money-burning pits; without financial support, love and romance are nothing but nihilism. What is the allure of a goddess's beauty? With money, even the most powerful and ruthless can become brothers and friends. Many large companies immediately launched cryptocurrency projects. It was Jinghua who urged Song Yu to do something valuable and meaningful, since Jinghua could be considered Song Yu's venture capitalist. Song Yu realized that pursuing the illusion of Starve Arts would only lead to another wasting time like Mr. Wood. He used all his resources to open branches across the country, and thus a financial miracle was born, changing Song Yu's life.

Every time Song Yu went to the Buddha's Hand Company to hand over business, he was filled with heartfelt admiration for Jinghua because the gap in wealth between them was too great. Over the years, Song Yu had spent a lot of money on dating, romance, and matchmaking, and the old man who hadn't even bought a house was still anxious about his future marriage. Now, Song Yu felt like a different person. His admiration for Jinghua was genuine. They were both science and engineering college students, and 2008 was a dividing line for them. Many great things were born in 2008.

Major events included Satoshi Ben's Bitcoin internet protocol, the birth of WeChat, the Beijing Olympics (and Zhang Sheng even received a free ticket to watch a Dutch vs. Chinese women's hockey match – the Netherlands truly has the tallest people in the world, both men and women!), Google's Android, Apple's iPhone, and the failed merger of Microsoft and Nokia. 2008 was the era of internet gods. It could be said that Song Yu's proactive contact with Jinghua for redemption was a testament to Jinghua's desire to rekindle the entrepreneurial spirit and passion of its employees at Foshou Company. Song Yu was one of Jinghua's corporate role models, not someone to be retired into obscurity. This served to inspire and promote the company's entrepreneurial and innovative spirit. The creativity of the internet is unpredictable, disrupting countless traditional industries. This world is so unpredictable; who could have imagined it? A small mobile phone has defeated all physical stores, merchants, department stores, and supermarkets.

Intuitively, bank employees seem to be the closest to money, but this is a subjective and narrow view. In a broader sense, the closest to money is the internet. Philosophically speaking, the internet is the closest entity to money. Just as people's understanding of money today is limited to traditional fiat currency, gold, antiques, collectibles, houses, cars, real estate, insurance, and bank savings, the internet is the closest entity to money. Internet finance truly allows for a "you reap what you sow" mythical game. With risk control, risk assessment, big data, supercomputing, and cloud-based actuarial calculations, internet finance is like a reaping machine, openly and honestly harvesting the profits from internet trends. When visiting a museum, one marvels at the great works of art, but that's all there is to it. Similarly, internet finance's precise risk control algorithms, big data, and cloud computing make judgments based solely on intuition and senses often subjective, not objective. What the banking system cannot do, internet finance can do.

In fact, cash flow is always a core value. No matter how large a company is, if it dares to underestimate the core value of cash flow, it will inevitably encounter fatal difficulties and bottlenecks in its development. Even if the profits reach 1 trillion, 2 trillion, or 3 trillion, without cash flow, it will go bankrupt. This is the most intuitive understanding of cash flow. Internet finance can quickly bring cash flow to a company. It seems that Song Yu was the first to boldly seize the opportunity of the Internet finance boom. On the surface, it was his courage and boldness, but being blinded by money is not the same thing. Judging from the three aspects of timing, location, and people, Song Yu is indeed a qualified backpacker speculator. He didn't know or perhaps didn't realize that Jinghua was a billionaire. Not a billionaire from an American TV series, but a real-life Chinese billionaire. According to Song Yu, being closer to Jinghua could change his fate. He always felt resentful towards Jiang Tao and Wei Hua. Of course, it is hard to imagine that the scale of Jinghua's company is about three times that of Jiang Tao and Wei Hua's companies. This seems to be a kind of cyclical cause and effect.

Jinghua Company, while possessing the advantage of being a latecomer, can also be considered an incubator. Money never sleeps, and it can never fill the insatiable greed of human nature. Jinghua is perplexing! Betrayal often stems from dealing with money daily. Money is also humanity's greatest creation, and betrayal and trust are delicate matters within a company. Finding a balance is impossible. Jinghua's work strategy, based on Bitcoin and Ethereum internet thinking, is also an experiment. Too many subjective obstacles within the company severely impact its development and efficiency.

Furthermore, Song Yu's desire for money stemmed from his love, his expectations for marriage, and his insatiable hunger. With money, a person's entire spirit shines, radiating light, like the light emanating from Buddha and Jesus. Being without money is terrifying; it breeds a kind of poverty-related illness, turning a person into a mere shell, a zombie, or causing autism and loss of speech. To please Jinghua, Song Yu recounted the spiritual transformation of a friend who went from poverty to wealth—all thanks to Jinghua's influence!

Of course, Song Yu was always troubled and annoyed by marriage because, in his eyes, marriage held no happiness. Ah, in marriage, humanity's fear of marriage is entirely caused by the internet, which has profoundly influenced human spirit and culture. Marriage is merely a tool of human society. Previously, Song Yu was irresponsibly taking chances with marriage because he also intended to toy with love and affection. Girls don't like men who make them feel insecure, do they? Song Yu loved this situation—the contradiction! He would spread a sentiment to his old friends that he desperately wanted to get married, that his girlfriend had left him, but deep down he had a different thought. This way, he could win overwhelming sympathy from a moral and ethical standpoint—it was so satisfying, far more sophisticated than Ximen Qing's methods. Yang Yulei, I'm not Ximen Qing, will definitely gain inspiration from this womanizer. This addictive relationship between men and women ends in a sad separation, with a tragic tone, far more sophisticated than Zhang Sheng's *The West Chamber*. This was the best result he could achieve after weighing the pros and cons.

This loop could go on forever, allowing him to date his young girlfriends for a lifetime. Jinghua was truly Song Yu's benefactor, making all possibilities for his love and marriage possible. This was all a manifestation of the power of money. Song Yu became somewhat oblivious to his pride, often telling Jinghua that he needed to absorb Jinghua's aura, because Jinghua's aura was an energy of wealth and prosperity. Song Yu frequently used self-reflection and redemption to ask Zhang Sheng about marriage.

"Actually, the Zuo Zhuan and the Spring and Autumn Annals are the best books on national sentiment, do you understand? Marriage is the same. In the Zuo Zhuan, the feudal lords exchanged their own children as hostages to gain trust and form alliances, do you understand? Marriage is indeed complicated. It's somewhat similar."

What are the similarities?

"marriage,"

I hate marriage, and I don't want to be morally blackmailed like this.

"You two can't keep going like this. So what if you're promiscuous? Which man isn't promiscuous these days? Which woman isn't fickle? Director Bing and actor Lu Renbing are dating. They're together, have a child, and they're both willing but haven't gotten married. So what? You two keep making a scene. Besides, you're not Ximen Qing, and she's not Pan Jinlian. What's so hard about it?"
