Chapter 494: Buying Bitcoin
In the following few days, aside from attending classes, Qin Tian spent his time in the dormitory using his computer to look up various news and information about Bitcoin, researching how to capitalize on this wave of dividends.
The price of Bitcoin fluctuated every day, maintaining a range of fifty to seventy dollars at the current stage, showing a slight upward trend.
After observing for a few days, Qin Tian decided to enter the market.
The earlier one enters, the earlier one makes money; at the very least, it would continue to grow until the peak at the end of November.
The difficulty was how to purchase it.
Now that Bitcoin was already showing an upward trend and the market was good, the sell orders on the market should be in short supply.
After Wang Hao consulted that friend of his father's, he had already recommended several platforms where Bitcoin could be purchased.
Qin Tian stayed by the computer, and whenever he saw someone selling Bitcoin on any platform, he would immediately scramble to buy it.
But because the market was in a state of short supply, the efficiency was truly very low.
This afternoon after class, Qin Tian was in the dormitory watching television while continuing to keep watch.
The ringtone of the mobile phone placed to the side suddenly rang.
Qin Tian picked it up and glanced at the caller ID, discovering it was a call from Wang Hao.
"Hello, Brother Wang!"
"Qin Tian, I have a channel here to purchase a not-insignificant amount of Bitcoin; are you interested?"
"I am!"
Qin Tian's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What's the source?"
"I've been asking around everywhere to see who has this stuff, and today I received news from a buddy; he has a friend who bought some of this stuff out of boredom back in 2010 and just left it there without paying much attention to it afterward."
"Recently, he heard he was short on cash and remembered he still had this; once he saw the price, he was shocked, so he wanted to sell off these Bitcoins."
"I'm just asking if you're interested; if you are, we'll go talk together, and we'll split it half and half once we negotiate it down. If not, I'll go buy it all up myself."
Wang Hao explained.
"Then let's go together; I've been guarding those few platforms every day here, and I'm almost annoyed to death."
Qin Tian said with a smile.
"Alright, then I'll drive over to find you in a bit; we'll go treat that buddy to a meal together, and then we'll talk it over."
"Mm, then give me a call when you arrive."
"Alright, hanging up first."
After saying this, Wang Hao hung up the phone on his end.
Qin Tian put down his phone and saw that another trade order had appeared on the trading platform on his computer screen.
It was only five coins; Qin Tian thought that even a mosquito's leg is meat, and this mosquito meat might become delicious pork belly in the future, so he clicked the mouse with lightning speed to buy, then entered the price and quantity.
The trade was successful; he spent nearly three hundred dollars and successfully secured five Bitcoins.
Qin Tian smiled with satisfaction, picked up the mineral water beside him, unscrewed it, and took a sip.
"Brother Tian, what are you grinning about over there? Let's play games together!"
Chen Zhuang, who was sitting not far away, glanced at him and invited him.
"Nothing, not playing, you play yourself!"
Qin Tian directly refused.
It wasn't that he was stingy or unwilling to bring Chen Zhuang and the others along to get rich.
It was just that the future growth of this stuff was too bizarre; if he said it out loud, Chen Zhuang and the others might not believe it at all, and might even think he was dreaming.
Even if they believed it and followed along to buy some, it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing for them if they suddenly struck it rich.
How many nouveau riche who got rich overnight in this world have directly lost themselves in various temptations, started to let themselves go, and ended up ruining themselves?
"So mysterious, you wouldn't be flirting with some girl, would you?"
Chen Zhuang said with a suspicious look on his face.
Cao Mingliang, who was leaning against the head of his bed flirting with a girl on his phone, heard this, looked up at Qin Tian, and said with a chuckle: "Men, we're all the same; even if you can hold back from fooling around, it's very normal to flirt a little. Brother Tian, don't worry, we definitely won't sell you out."
"Get lost, who's the same as you."
Qin Tian turned his head and glared at him.
Cao Mingliang gave a chuckle and lowered his head to continue messaging the girl.
"And you, stop spouting nonsense without proof; if it gets to my wife, believe it or not, I'll tell Shen Siqi that you watch art films in the dormitory every day."
Qin Tian threatened with a serious face.
"Damn, you're ruthless!"
Chen Zhuang couldn't help but curse, turned his head, and went back to playing his game.
In front of Shen Siqi, he had always maintained the image of a simple and honest good man; if Qin Tian's words got out, he would truly be finished.
Qin Tian curled his lips and also went back to doing his own thing, no longer paying attention to these two guys.
……
……
Past five in the afternoon, Qin Tian received another call from Wang Hao, telling him he was almost at the school gate.
"Alright, I'm coming over right away."
After Qin Tian responded, he hung up the phone.
While walking out of the dormitory, he turned and dialed Xia Nuannuan.
"Hello, Brother!"
"Nuan Nuan, I'm going to have a meal with Brother Wang to discuss some things; are you coming with me, or are you eating by yourself?"
Qin Tian asked.
"Then you go ahead, I'm going to the cafeteria to eat with Siqi and the others!"
Xia Nuannuan replied.
"Alright, then remember to go home and check on Xiatian after you finish eating, and take it for a walk."
"Got it, don't worry!"
"Mm-hmm, then I'm hanging up now."
After saying this, Qin Tian hung up the phone.
Leaving the dormitory and arriving at the school gate, he discovered that Wang Hao's Mercedes-Benz G-Class was already parked by the side of the road.
The window on the driver's side was rolled down, and Wang Hao was resting his left arm on the window frame, chatting and laughing heartily with two young women beside him, making both of them smile like Yanran, looking at him with shy eyes.
Seeing this scene from far away, Qin Tian rolled his eyes in speechlessness and called out, "Wang Ge."
Wang Hao looked toward him at the sound, grinned, and said, "You finally came out, hurry up and get in the car!"
Qin Tian nodded in response and quickened his pace.
Those two young women were also from Jiang University, and like many girls at Jiang University, they had once had a secret crush on Qin Tian.
Upon seeing Qin Tian, looks of surprise first appeared on their faces, and then they looked at each other with some embarrassment.
The two were inseparable best friends on campus and had discussed many topics regarding Qin Tian with each other.
However, now a young man from outside the school, who drove a G-Class and was very humorous in his conversation, had flirted with them until they were a bit tempted; seeing Qin Tian again, they inexplicably felt as if they had changed their affections too easily.
Qin Tian opened the passenger door and got straight into the car.
"Beauty, leave me your contact information!"
Wang Hao looked at the taller, prettier girl on the right and said with a chuckle.
This girl was his actual target; the other one was just a tool to create a sense of differential treatment in this moment to achieve his goal.
Upon hearing this, the tall girl looked at her best friend in surprise and nodded somewhat shyly.
"Then call my phone, the number is..."
Wang Hao recited his phone number directly.
The girl took out her phone and dialed the number.
On the car's display screen, an incoming call from an unknown number appeared immediately.
"OK, I have something to do, so I'm leaving. I'll message you when I'm free."
Wang Hao said with a smile.
The girl nodded shyly.
Wang Hao didn't waste any more words; he released the handbrake, shifted gears, and drove away.
