Entering November, the price of Bitcoin is like a wild horse running wild.
From more than 6,000 US Dollar at the end of October, to breaking through 7,000 and 8,000 for the first time in early November... the whole market went crazy.
On Weibo, in Moments, and in Financial News, there are messages from Bitcoin everywhere.
"Bitcoin breaks through 7000 US Dollar!"
"Bitcoin on the station 8000 US Dollar!"
"Bitcoin is only one step away from 10000 US Dollar!"
Some people are partying, some are short-term, some regret not buying earlier, and some call it a bubble.
But in the evening of this Saturday, Private Room in the Boiling Memories Hot Pot store, it was a different scene.
Zhou Xiaowen held up the mobile phone, and the price of Bitcoin was displayed on the screen:
$9150
Her voice was already a little hoarse from shouting:
"Nine hundred and five! Nine thousand one hundred and five! There are still more than eight hundred to break the ten thousand mark!"
Li Jing covered his mouth beside him, his eyes were red:
"I only invested 120,000 at the beginning... now... now..."
She couldn't speak any more.
Chen Shuhua pushed up his glasses and tried to look calm, but the hand holding the teacup was shaking slightly:
"At the current price, our money... including leverage, has increased almost twenty times."
Zhou Xiaowen turned his head suddenly:
"Twenty times? Say it again?"
Chen Shuhua Take a deep breath:
"I originally invested 600,000, Double Leverage, which is equivalent to a principal of 1.2 million. The average purchase price was 910, and now it is 915, which has increased tenfold. Including leverage income..."
She paused:
"The total value now exceeds twelve million."
Private Room was quiet for a full three seconds.
Then Zhou Xiaowen jumped up:
"Twelve million?! Then my share is nearly two hundred thousand?!"
Li Jing covered his mouth, tears finally fell:
"I... I can buy a bigger house for my parents..."
Chen Shuhua took off his glasses and wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.
Shen Zhiyi sat aside with a slight smile on his lips.
She is the calmest one.
It's not because there's less money - she has more than any of them.
It's because she has long been used to it.
Since that class in November last year, she has become accustomed to this kind of "surprise" brought by Zhao Chen.
"Okay, okay," Shen Zhiyi smiled and patted Zhou Xiaowen, "Stop shouting, the food is cold."
Zhou Xiaowen grabbed her hand:
"Zhiyi! Where is your Zhao Chen? When will he come? I must thank him tonight!"
Shen Zhiyi glanced at the phone:
"He said he was almost there and there was a bit of traffic on the road."
Li Jing wiped away his tears and whispered:
"We should treat Zhao Chen to a big meal... Boiling Memories is delicious, but after all..."
Shen Zhiyi shakes his head:
"He asked to come here by name. He said the old place is comfortable."
Zhou Xiaowen sighed:
"Your Zhao Chen is so down-to-earth. He has a net worth of several billion, but he still eats Hot Pot with us."
Chen Shuhua Put your glasses back on:
"That's why he can get to where he is today. He doesn't drift, doesn't drift, and is stable."
Six fifteen, Boiling Memories Hot Pot store.
When Zhao Chen opened the door and came in, the girl in the west had already ordered the food.
Hairy tripe, yellow throat, duck intestines, beef, shrimp sliders - a table full of them.
"Zhao Zong is here!"
Zhou Xiaowen stood up first and pulled out the chair next to him with a smile.
"This seat next to the main palace empress is reserved for you!"
Shen Zhiyi blushed slightly and pinched her gently.
Zhao Chen sat down with a smile and glanced at the bottom of the pot:
"Still very spicy?"
Zhou Xiaowen is clear and confident:
"Of course! Since you take such good care of us, you must serve us with the spiciest pot!"
Chen Shuhua calmly disrupted the situation on the side:
"Obviously you want to eat it yourself."
Everyone laughed.
The bottom of the pot boils, and the heat rises.
The dishes are put in the pot and the wine is poured.
Zhou Xiaowen raised his glass:
"Here, have your first cup, here's to Zhao Zong! Thank you Zhao Zong for making us rich!"
Li Jing and Chen Shuhua also raised their glasses.
Zhao Chen picked up the wine glass and clinked it with them:
"Don't thank me. You are lucky enough to trust me."
Zhou Xiaowen drank it all in one gulp and put down the cup:
"Zhao Zong, you know, I originally invested 120,000, but when my mother found out, she said I was crazy for giving the money to a classmate I just met to speculate on Bitcoin."
She paused:
"Now she calls me every day and asks me if there are any classmates I know who would also like to apply."
Everyone laughed.
Li Jing whispered:
"My dad is the same. He always thought I was ignorant before, but now he praises me for my vision every day."
Chen Shuhua pushed up his glasses:
"My deskmates are looking at me differently now. I got a new mobile phone last week, and they asked me several times, 'Aren't you afraid that if you buy a mobile phone, you'll be spoiled next month?'"
Zhou Xiaowen laughed loudly:
"Just say, I made it from stock trading!"
Chen Shuhua shakes his head:
"I said, I made money by buying Bitcoin. Anyway, Zhao Zong is bullish on Bitcoin. It is a well-known fact in our Zhengfa University.
She checked the price and then fell silent."
Zhao Chen Listening to what they said to each other, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
He looked at Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi is rinsing his belly with his head down, but there is also a smile on his lips.
That kind of smile is not a proud smile.
It's a smile... surrounded by happiness.
"Zhao Zong," Zhou Xiaowen suddenly came over, "Can you tell us the bottom line, can Bitcoin still rise?"
Zhao Chen put down his chopsticks:
"I can't answer this question."
Zhou Xiaowen was stunned for a moment:
"Why?"
Zhao Chen said:
"Because no one can predict the peak. Ten thousand, twenty thousand, fifty thousand are all possible. But it is also possible that it will fall back to five thousand."
He looked at the Westerner:
"So my operation is to sell one after another when the rise accelerates.
There is a saying in futures that "if it doesn't accelerate, it won't peak"! My opinion is that it is now in the early stages of acceleration."
Zhou Xiaowen thoughtfully:
"So are you starting to sell now?"
Zhao Chen shook his head:
"Not yet."
Zhou Xiaowen eyes widened:
"Why?"
Zhao Chen said:
"The currency circle is not crazy yet."
He paused:
"You can sell your few coins at any time without making a plan. But I am different. The position is too heavy and I have to choose the right time to leave the market."
Chen Shuhua nodded:
"I understand. Different positions mean different strategies."
Zhou Xiaowen scratched his head:
"Then we depend on you!"
Chen Shuhua said:
"Yes! We trust your judgment."
Li Jing whispered:
"I thought so too..."
Shen Zhiyi looked at them and suddenly felt a little moved.
Six months ago, they were just ordinary college students, with living expenses of one to two thousand a month, and they had to hesitate for a long time to buy milk tea.
Now, they are sitting in the Hot Pot store, discussing cashing out, allocation, and positions.
All this is because of one person.
She quietly looked at Zhao Chen.
He was being pulled by Zhou Xiaowen to ask questions, with a helpless smile on his face.
This man changed the fate of all of them.
And she is his girlfriend.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhiyi felt a little proud in his heart.
It's not the kind of pride that shows off.
It's a kind of... satisfaction in being recognized.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Chen suddenly looked at her.
Shen Zhiyi came back to his senses and shook his head:
"Nothing."
Zhao Chen smiled and didn't ask again.
His thoughts have moved to Yunnan Agriculture Group. If there are no accidents, Cheng Jiaxun should contact him soon.
