Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

The next day, Zhang Jie came to see Meng Chuan with a beaming smile.

Zhang Jie came here for two reasons: first, to catch up with Meng Chuan, and second, to express his heartfelt gratitude to Meng Chuan.

He knew in his heart that without Meng Chuan, he wouldn't be where he was today.

In Zhang Jie's eyes, Meng Chuan was the benefactor of his life.

Meng Chuan's meeting with Zhang Jie was naturally to discuss important matters.

Meng Chuan plans to open an A-share account and gain full trading access to the Beijing and Shenzhen stock exchanges.

And leveraged credit.

He should start making plans now.

Because the bull market that precedes the stock market crash is about to begin.

He must accumulate enough capital before the stock market crash.

After all, Meng Chuan will face a joint attack from foreign capital in the future.

If Meng Chuan doesn't arm himself, he won't be qualified to participate in this gluttonous feast!

Currently, Meng Chuan's funds are not plentiful, with only over 5 billion yuan in cash remaining.

"Brother Meng, tell Brother Zhang the truth, are you planning to start another fight this time?"

Zhang Jie suddenly became a little excited.

Looking back at Meng Chuan's questionable actions in the crude oil market.

Considering Meng Chuan's preparations today...

He was eagerly anticipating whether he could witness another miracle this time.

"I do want to earn some pocket money. But Brother Zhang, you're a bank manager, you should be able to see that."

Meng Chuan praised Zhang Jie.

After all, flattery will get you everywhere.

Then Meng Chuan explained:

"The current economic situation and policy guidance are clearly favorable to the technology and consumer sectors."

"In this bull market, these two sectors are bound to soar to new heights."

"My plan is to first invest in a batch of high-quality technology stocks, and then quickly switch to consumer stocks once the stock prices have risen to a certain level, so as to have a prosperous year-end."

Meng Chuan spoke casually, but Zhang Jie was dumbfounded.

Because of what Meng Chuan said, and the group of professional financial analysts in his bank.

After several days and nights of meetings and discussions, and a comprehensive analysis of a large amount of data, the results were almost identical.

Moreover, those analysts weren't as certain as Meng Chuan.

It's highly likely that these two sectors have investment value.

"Brother Meng, I truly admire your financial insight to the point of prostration."

Zhang Jie remarked with a sigh.

If he didn't know Meng Chuan well, he would have suspected that Meng Chuan had a financial team behind him!

After chatting with Meng Chuan for a while, Zhang Jie took his leave.

As the vice president, especially since he just took over, he has been really busy lately.

After Zhang Jie left, Meng Chuan felt a little bored in the hotel and decided to go out for a walk.

After all, it's my first time in Shanghai, and it's not good to just stay cooped up in the hotel all the time.

Just as Meng Chuan put on his three essential travel gear—hat, mask, and large sunglasses—…

The phone's ringtone suddenly rang.

"Hey! Meng Chuan, school's about to start, when are you coming to Shanghai?"

Alice's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.

Meng Chuan has always harbored doubts about Alice's identity.

However, given that she is always accompanied by bodyguards when she goes out, she must be someone of extraordinary status.

"I'm already in Shanghai, and I'll be going to school to register in a few days."

Meng Chuan told him the truth.

Speaking of Alice, Meng Chuan still felt somewhat grateful to her.

After all, Meng Chuan had managed to "swindle" 300,000 Bitcoins from Alice.

This is a considerable fortune.

It's worth noting that Bitcoin's highest price in 2021 was nearly $7 per coin.

In 2024, it broke the $10 mark.

Meng Chuan sometimes even thinks about it.

Alice will know in the future that Bitcoin's price is so strong.

Will he regret using so many Bitcoins as leverage to persuade himself to apply to Shanghai University?

"Oh? That's great! I was just thinking of flying to your hometown to find you. Where are you now? Shall we meet up?"

Alice was surprised and excited when she heard that Meng Chuan was already in Shanghai.

Meng Chuan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Alice had some news about Bitcoin again?

After all, he had told Alice that he was willing to buy Bitcoin at an unlimited price of 300 per coin.

He'd take anything Alice could get his hands on.

Meng Chuan couldn't think of any other reason why Alice was so eager to meet him, other than a Bitcoin transaction.

"Judging from what you're saying, is there some good news?"

Meng Chuan asked, unable to hide his excitement.

“Little brother Meng Chuan is indeed clever. However, we need to find a safe place to meet.”

Alice said solemnly.

"I'm quite safe here. I'm in a five-star hotel, all by myself. You can just come over."

Meng Chuan said.

He then told Alice the hotel address and waited expectantly in the room.

More than an hour later, Alice, accompanied by bodyguards and a strange man, arrived at Meng Chuan's room.

"sit!"

Meng Chuan frowned slightly; the man in front of him was not tall.

However, she wrapped herself up tightly, exuding an air of mystery.

"Little brother Meng Chuan, how come you're in Shanghai so soon? It's only the 4th today, there are still several days before school starts. Also, didn't your parents come with you?"

Alice looked at Meng Chuan with a puzzled expression.

"They are busy with work."

As Meng Chuan poured tea for everyone, he looked at Alice with a hint of helplessness:

"Senior Alice, may I ask how old you are this year?"

"My Chinese is pretty good, and I know what 'fangling' means. I'm 20 years old this year. But asking a girl's age right away when we meet is not very polite in China, I remember."

Alice looked smug, clearly quite confident in her Chinese proficiency.

"Since you know it's impolite to ask a girl's age, why don't you know that calling a man 'little brother' in China is also very impolite?"

Meng Chuan said helplessly.

For some reason, Meng Chuan always felt quite resistant to the word "small".

I'm clearly quite a big...person.

"Uh... your Chinese is so profound. I didn't mean to mention something you're ashamed of..."

"No, absolutely not."

Meng Chuan quickly interrupted, then swiftly changed the subject:

"Senior, let's put the Chinese stuff aside for now and tell me what you need me for."

Meng Chuan had to end this topic decisively.

Because it's too easy to be misunderstood, and too difficult to prove oneself.

"Oh, okay. This is Mr. Z. He has a batch of Bitcoin that he's eager to sell, but he needs US dollars in cash."

Alice pointed to the man beside her and introduced him.

“That’s a bit tricky. I don’t have a way to get a lot of US dollars in cash in the short term.”

Meng Chuan frowned.

in the country, the annual quota for exchanging US dollars per person is only US$50,000.

Large-scale exchanges require multi-level application and approval processes and cannot be completed overnight.

“If you can take this shipment, I can help you. Give me the RMB, and I’ll have my family provide him with the US dollars.”

Alice said generously.

"Mr. Z, how many Bitcoins do you have?"

Meng Chuan asked the man in English.

Although Meng Chuan's spoken English is not fluent, he has a solid foundation from being a top student in high school.

Simple daily communication is not a problem.

However, when Meng Chuan asked him, the man simply shook his head.

Seeing this, Alice explained:

"He's not feeling well. He has one million Bitcoins. Can you take them?"

Meng Chuan's pupils contracted sharply in an instant.

One million? That many?

As far as Meng Chuan knows, the person who holds the most Bitcoins globally is Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin.

A mysterious Japanese-American.

It is said that he holds approximately 110 million Bitcoins, all of which were obtained through mining.

And this Mr. Z in front of us actually owns 100 million Bitcoins, which is an astonishing amount!

Could this Mr. Z in front of us be Satoshi Nakamoto himself?

However, it doesn't matter who it is, as long as they have Bitcoin.

Meng Chuan suppressed his excitement and said in as calm a voice as possible:

"Inspect the goods!"
