His father, Chen Jianye, worked at a ceramics factory, while his mother, Li Jinqiu, was an employee at a power plant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps due to their work, in his previous life, Chen Fan's father had fallen seriously ill and passed away in his fifties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother, grieving over the loss, had also left this world three years after his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two elders had hardly enjoyed any happiness from their son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan found it hard to control his emotions and rushed to hug his mother from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, I missed you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong with this child?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinqiu smiled and patted Chen Fan's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let go, let go. I'm cooking, be careful of the hot oil splashing on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and wash your hands, the dish will be ready soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan turned and furtively wiped away a tear, then went outside and washed his face vigorously with cold water, taking the opportunity to wash away the tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, where's Dad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's working overtime at the factory tonight, should be back soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother's voice came from the kitchen, while Chen Fan gazed wistfully around the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, this old house wasn't very big, with an actual area of only around seventy square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two bedrooms and one living room, with one room for his parents and one for Chen Fan himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle of the living room stood an old red lacquered wooden cabinet for dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of the cabinet was a bulky old 21-inch color TV set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost the only valuable item in this household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no sofa, just a few wooden chairs with peeling paint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the living room was a square, low wooden table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of the wooden table was a cracked large ceramic tile, brought back from the factory by Chen Fan's father, this served as their dining table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan walked into his own bedroom and looked around the room, which was less than ten square meters. Everything was so familiar, so nostalgic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bedroom had a single bed, a wardrobe, and a desk by the window on the right side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the desk was a transparent glass panel, filled with photographs. Apart from a few family portraits, the rest were all pictures of Chen Fan from childhood to adulthood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner stood the family's only standing electric fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was such a simple little house, yet Chen Fan had slept here for over ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, when Chen Fan's father returned from work, the family gathered around the table for dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to his parents chat about whose child had made a success of themselves, Chen Fan couldn't help but speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, Mom, I plan to get into a top university this year, to make you two proud.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jianye glanced at his son and said slowly, \"You want to get into a top university? If you can get into a second-tier one, I'll burn some high-quality incense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinqiu smiled and reassured him, \"Xiao Fan, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Your dad and I don't have such high expectations. Just do your best for the college entrance exam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We won't blame you, no matter if you get in or not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan looked deflated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like his parents had zero confidence in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, how much money does our family have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you asking that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just wondering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jianye took a sip of alcohol, \"Ask your mom about that. I'm not sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinqiu thought for a moment and said, \"It seems we have a little over twenty thousand, around twenty-seven thousand, I think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These past two years, things haven't been going well at your dad's factory and mine. His factory still owes him two months' worth of wages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan decisively suggested, \"Dad, let's sell this old house, and then add that twenty-seven thousand to buy an apartment in the city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan remembered that in the year 2000, housing prices in Luocheng were only a little over 900 yuan per square meter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buying a 100 square meter apartment would cost less than 100,000 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a down payment of over 20,000 yuan, and living in it for a few years before reselling, they could easily make a profit of over ten times the amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could there be a more profitable investment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan was gleefully making plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his parents looked at each other with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This child... has he studied himself silly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buying an apartment? Do you know how much apartments cost these days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's ridiculously expensive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The deputy director at our factory bought an apartment, and it cost over a hundred thousand yuan. But they lived in it for less than two years before selling it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan's interest was piqued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did they sell it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Chen Jianye put down his glass and glanced at his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, it's because housing prices are too high.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They took advantage of the high prices to sell the apartment, and now they're renting. When prices drop in the future, they'll buy it back at a lower price, saving tens of thousands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's a truly smart person. Otherwise, how could he become a deputy director?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The money we have is for you to use after you graduate and find a job to get married.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why buy an apartment? Only someone who has been kicked in the head by a donkey would buy a house at this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, lying in bed, Chen Fan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the idea of getting his parents to buy a house was out of the question for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had been reborn, he had to start a business and make money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, Chen Fan had always felt that he had let Su Ruochu down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in this life, he had to make it up to her properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to rebuild a new business empire and let Su Ruochu witness and enjoy all of it with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he couldn't rely on his parents, he could only depend on himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan lay in bed, pondering how he could start a business and make his first pot of gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, as a reborn individual, his only advantage was the foresight into the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As someone who knew the development trends for the next twenty years, Chen Fan was clearly aware of every policy, the country's development plans, leadership changes, entrepreneurial waves...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, for a reborn individual looking to get rich quickly, there were only a few options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Real estate, mines, stocks...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan remembered that in 2000, whether in Puxi or Shenzhen, houses only cost over 4,000 yuan per square meter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And buying stocks in companies like Tao, Qq, Baidu, and Taobao at this time would be the perfect opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any of these options, as long as Chen Fan positioned himself early, would be enough for him to make a huge profit in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was an even better choice in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was to purchase Bitcoin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan remembered that it was born in 2009.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it first came out, it was less than one US cent each, or about six or seven yuan for over a thousand Bitcoins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by 2021, the value of Bitcoin had peaked at nearly $70,000 per coin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he positioned himself early and hoarded a few million Bitcoins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timing it right to sell at the peak in 2021.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, his wealth would truly be an endless string of digits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, all of these things, whether buying real estate, mines, or stocks, required a large amount of initial capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right now, Chen Fan only had a dozen yuan in pocket money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alas, I can see it but can't touch it. How painful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like I still need to find a way to get that first pot of startup capital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan shook his head and sighed, temporarily putting that thought aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matter of the first pot of gold could wait. Right now, there was something more important to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the upcoming college entrance exam, and he had to get into the same university as Su Ruochu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his memories, the exam questions that year were particularly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in math, physics, and chemistry. They were hellishly challenging, causing many students to wail after leaving the exam halls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the score requirements were not high that year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first-tier university line was only 535 points, and the admission line for Yunhai University seemed to be 553 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, Su Ruochu had been admitted to Yunhai University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, Chen Fan lay on the bed, his eyes burning with determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"553...
