Chapter 499: Farce

The ruthless reality gave a loud slap to all the leeks who were in the dream of getting rich overnight. Bitcoin, which had risen for a year, fell by more than 10% for three consecutive days. Now one Bitcoin is only worth 50,000 US dollars.

Although there were many retail investors and big retail investors who thought it was a good time to buy low, raising the price of Bitcoin, the overall trend was still falling rapidly.

And just at this time, the Tesla CEO's backstabbing gave the most painful knife to this precarious market.

Less than ten days ago, he announced that Bitcoin could be used to settle Tesla's cars. As a result, now he posted another tweet saying that after investigation, he found that Bitcoin had some defects and would temporarily stop the Bitcoin car purchase business.

Once such a contradictory operation came out, everyone shouted that it was simply a textbook version of a white wolf with empty hands.

When Bitcoin skyrocketed before, even if he took money to exchange with those retail investors who had Bitcoin, no one would sell it, so the Bitcoin car purchase business didn't make many deals at all.

As for now, when everyone started to doubt the market, he was the first to jump out and spread panic, so that Bitcoin finally began a big drop that could not be stopped.

On the fourth day, the decline reached 12%. All the leeks finally started to panic and frantically sold the Bitcoin in their hands. The market immediately fell into a vicious cycle.

After falling for a week, the price of Bitcoin stabilized at around 30,000 US dollars, shrinking by more than half compared to a week ago.

For those who bought Bitcoin a year ago, they have actually made a lot of money so far, but for those who invested in this at the new year, this price is undoubtedly a total loss.

Bankruptcy is a phenomenon that exists all over the world this week, and news of jumping off buildings to seek death also occurs from time to time.

Fortunately, because the Chinese government has never recognized the legality of this currency, everyone was relatively cautious when buying, and not many people went all-in in one go. Most of those who suffered when Bitcoin plummeted couldn't be called a devastating disaster, but it was enough to make them feel painful for a long time.

After the price of Bitcoin plummeted, the "stock gods" and "financial tycoons" who ridiculed Miss Luo Quan in her livestream room disappeared, and I don't know if they were pretending to be dead or really couldn't think straight and went to the rooftop.

However, Miss Luo Quan never posted any gloating dynamics from beginning to end. She only posted about Bitcoin a week ago, and it was to advise everyone to sell quickly and see when to stop. She never mentioned it again after that.

And now, the fans in the livestream room really want her to talk about her views on this matter. Now that the dust has settled, the leeks are dead or escaped, and it is time for outsiders to make some final conclusions.

In fact, Zhihu has already started discussing it. In the past few days, related questions have been at the forefront of the hot list. The high-voted answers all claim that they are employees of a Wall Street investment company, and claim that they had long seen through that this was a financial scam, and then it was a long talk.

Whether it makes sense or not, let's not mention it for now. It's just that the melon-eating crowd is currently in the excited stage of watching the big excitement. As long as it reads in line with their own ideas, it's interesting.

And on Miss Luo Quan's side, "needling current affairs" has always been a reserved program. Miss Luo Quan anyway chats with fans about current hot topics when she has nothing to do. Because there are no worries and she is not afraid of offending people, she has always dared to say anything, and fans love to hear her yin and yang strange those hot figures.

According to convention, after Miss Luo Quan started the livestream today, she played games for a while, and then started the "Talk about Land" column.

"Clack!" Miss Luo Quan slapped the table, using vocal mimicry to imitate the sound of a gavel. "In our last story, we talked about how the number one Chinese YouTuber, Wang Xiaojiu, was besieged by Korean netizens who accused her of plagiarism. We discussed the causes and development of the situation, and now the results are out: the Korean netizens were roasted into silence by netizens from other countries, and Xiaojiu's grievances have been vented!"

Using the storyteller's tone to adjust a review of the previous episode, Miss Luo Quan started to talk about this episode seriously: "Everyone also knows about the Bitcoin plummet. Recently, I saw many fans in the comment section calling me a stock god, and saying that I accurately predicted the market, etc…………

This kind of talk, just say it in the livestream room and comment section. Don't brag outside. Although I know many things, I can clearly tell everyone that I really don't understand finance. To put it broadly, as long as it is related to numbers and mathematics, I am not very good at it."

Hearing this, the chat immediately started to refute:

"Can't even count money?"

"Exaggerated. Investment is simple. Buy the market in reverse. Whoever falls the fiercest, fill the position, and you will definitely make a lot of money!"

"30% depends on technology, 70% depends on destiny, right?"

"This is not finance, this is gambling!"

"From the perspective of a capitalist, this is not gambling, but sending money to his hands in a roundabout way."

………………

"I can definitely count money. As for finance, I don't understand it, so I won't talk nonsense here." Miss Luo Quan pinched her fingers and smiled. "I only express my views from the perspective of an ordinary person here, that is, pies will not fall from the sky. There must be people who get rich overnight by investment, but the number is really negligible compared to the vast number of leeks.

If everyone's luck is really that good, they wouldn't have achieved financial freedom yet.

As for whether Bitcoin is a scam, I can only say that everything that the country has not recognized is unreliable. A product without any reliable third-party support, problems are a matter of time. Think carefully and you can figure it out."

After chatting about her views, Miss Luo Quan asked if there were any fans in the livestream who lost money. As a result, a large group of people bubbled up. She didn't expect that so many of her fans had bought Bitcoin. Fortunately, most of them bought less than one whole coin, and they didn't lose much.

As for those fans who lost a lot of money, Miss Luo Quan had no other good way except comfort.

Just livestreaming, suddenly there was a commotion outside the window. Miss Luo Quan went to the window to look and found a large group of people gathered below, all looking up with their heads raised.

"Could it be that someone is jumping off a building?" Miss Luo Quan couldn't see the situation on the top floor and could only guess in her heart.

Just when she was wondering whether to go out and see, the phone rang. It was San Mu who called.

"Hello, Miss Luo Quan-san, are you at home?"

The home San Mu asked about was the employee economic housing that Sony gave to Miss Luo Quan before. After Miss Luo Quan finished filming the movie and moved out of the hotel, she lived here.

Miss Luo Quan nodded: "Yes, it seems like someone is jumping off a building here. It won't be an employee of your company, right?"

San Mu's tone was a bit urgent: "You guessed it right. It is a male employee of Sony who wants to jump off a building. It seems that he lost a lot of money investing in Bitcoin, plus he is under great pressure at ordinary times, so he decided to jump off a building."

"Ha? There is such a thing!" Miss Luo Quan was a bit confused. She didn't expect that things like investment failure and going to the rooftop would happen around her. "Then San Mu, you called me to…………"

"I just learned about those two employees. They are from the sales department of Sony Music branch, named Tian Gong Da Jin. It is said that he is your fan. The minister of the sales department of the music branch has already gone to the rooftop to persuade him. In order to stop him, he even said that he could invite you to meet him…………"

San Mu didn't finish his words, but Miss Luo Quan basically knew what he was looking for. Negotiator, save the falling life by talking.

Although they are strangers, since he is her fan and is near her home, she should also try. After all, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

"Rooftop, right? I'll take the elevator there." After Miss Luo Quan finished the call, she didn't even have time to change her clothes. She told the fans in the livestream room that she had an emergency and hurriedly went out.

Three minutes later, she came to the top floor corridor, which was already crowded with residents and police officers watching the excitement, and faintly could see a few company employees wearing ties.

"Sorry, can you let me pass?" Miss Luo Quan said to the people around while squeezing through the crowd.

"Ah, it's Miss Luo Quan, you really came!" A few female residents saw Miss Luo Quan and showed a surprised expression.

Just now they heard the man jumping off the building shouting that he wanted to see his idol in person before he died. The company minister agreed immediately. They originally thought it was a delaying tactic, but didn't expect to really invite Miss Luo Quan.

At this time, the police officer standing at the door saw Miss Luo Quan, as if seeing a savior, hurriedly let everyone clear the way and invited Miss Luo Quan in.

Walking into the rooftop, the space was much more spacious. There were five police officers, two company leaders in suits and leather shoes, and one female reporter, two cameramen.

As for the man sitting on the rooftop railing with half his body hanging outside, he should be the one who wants to jump off the building. He looks less than thirty, but the top of his head is already a bit sparse. It is true that he is under great pressure at ordinary times.

"Tian Gong, Miss Luo Quan is here now. You are so young, don't be impulsive. If you have anything to say, say it well!" The one who shouted was the minister of the music department, and the other was the deputy minister.

Come to think of it, this subordinate and the two ministers can be considered old acquaintances, having worked together for many years. This time, they came mainly because of past friendship. If it were another employee, it might not be so attentive. Japanese indifference is famous.

"It's really Miss Luo Quan-chan!"

"It's really great to see you, woo woo woo."

A big man actually cried directly after seeing the idol he was thinking about day and night.

"No matter what setbacks you encounter, as long as you are alive, there is hope. Don't give up just like that." Miss Luo Quan gradually walked up and shouted at them.

Before, when other people wanted to get close, Tian Gong showed great excitement. Only Miss Luo Quan could walk so close, and not long after, she was only ten steps away from him.

But that was all. Tian Gong waved his hand at Miss Luo Quan: "Don't persuade me anymore. Those damn capitalists cheated me of all my savings. 20 million yen all went down the drain. That is the happiness fund I prepared for after marrying Qingzi. Now it's all gone!"

"How can you be so selfish!" Miss Luo Quan is not very good at telling chicken soup for the soul, so she can only use a stupid method: "You jump down like this, it's all over, but have you thought about your parents, friends, and Qingzi, what should these people who love you do in the future?

There is no hurdle that can't be passed. If the money is gone, you can earn it again, but if the person is gone, everything is gone!"

"But I really live too tired…………" Tian Gong tightly pinched the railing, his expression very painful. It can be seen that his heart is indeed very tormented, but it has not reached the point of despair. If he really didn't want to live, he would have taken off his shoes and jumped down quietly alone, where would he wait until now.

And in such a situation, relatives and friends taking turns to go on stage have a high probability of persuading him down. Miss Luo Quan's role here is to stabilize his emotions and drag it until others arrive.

Not long after, a woman rushed to the rooftop, but her age looked like she was almost fifty, probably Tian Gong's mother.

Mother and son met on such an occasion, that is really experiencing life and death, and both sides cried loudly.

And as more and more relatives and friends arrived, Tian Gong gradually poured out the depression in his heart, but no matter how his mother or girlfriend persuaded him, he still sat on the railing and refused to come down.

Miss Luo Quan also persuaded him several times on the side. Although she could get a response, it didn't have much effect.

Just when the scene was in a stalemate, a song was played in the rooftop corridor. I don't know who brought a radio up. The sound quality was broken, but the sound was outrageously loud, and it could be heard from so far away.

Miss Luo Quan listened carefully and immediately knew that this was her song:

"I once thought about ending it all

I haven't met you yet

Because there are people like you

I have grown to like this world a little………………"

It is the ending part, the most healing part. Miss Luo Quan's singing voice is still so moving under such garbage sound quality, and the thick emotion is full of infectious power.

Hearing this singing voice, everyone was quiet. They wanted Tian Gong to listen carefully to the lyrics in the song and understand the intention of this song.

And Tian Gong, who had been entangled for so long, was also moved after hearing this song, and the death wish in his heart began to fade like a tide.

A song finished quickly, and the second song started with passionate drum beats, which is Miss Luo Quan's most popular song in Japan, known as Japan's second national anthem, *Don't Give Up*!

At this moment, no one was silent anymore, but everyone sang together.

Where this song appears, it is easy to cause a chorus, and the chorus now is given an unusual meaning.

Under the infection of this ultimate healing divine song, plus Miss Luo Quan's own leading efforts, Tian Gong, who had already been shaken, finally gave up jumping off the building.

"Sorry everyone, I caused you trouble." His eyes were full of tears, he let go of the hand holding the railing, and gradually stood up from the edge of the rooftop.

Although life is very difficult, he still intends to live on.

"Wait! Don't let go!" Miss Luo Quan suddenly let out an anxious shout and rushed towards Tian Gong.
