Chapter 38: Calling It Anything Is Useless

The murderer realized I was tailing him, saw no one around, made a sudden brake in the middle of the road, stopped my car, then brandished a knife over a foot long and charged at me…

You have no idea how dangerous it was then; although I had practiced a few days of grappling, that murderer also had martial skill, and if I had slipped even a bit, I wouldn't have made it back…

After the police arrived, a strange thing happened. A gust of wind blew, and the piece of clothing Zhao Shunan had been wearing flew up and landed on my front windshield.

Do you think this is weird? I was just driving casually, and then I ran into the murderer…

Lin Feng ate steak and drank red wine while recounting the events from a little over an hour ago.

His spirits were somewhat high.

After all, it was a good deed, catching the serial murderer in advance.

Otherwise, we wouldn't know how many girls the murderer had harmed, their fragrance gone and jade perished!

Qi Yao kept silent, but occasionally looked up at Lin Feng, indicating she was listening attentively.

When Lin Feng finished, Qi Yao said lightly, "It's all coincidence; there are no ghosts in this world."

"What if there are?"

Lin Feng frowned and said.

"If you don't believe it exists, it doesn't," Qi Yao said lightly.

Lin Feng frowned, "Your view is idealistic; anyway, I don't dare drive back tonight, so I'll stay at your place this evening. I've brought a change of clothes."

Tomorrow, I'll wash the car, then leave it out under the sun all day, and ask Zhao Xiaoyang if they want this car…

Qi Yao didn't refuse Lin Feng staying over, so Lin Feng took it as her agreement.

Time quickly reached July 3rd.

Tuesday.

Near noon, Liang Shishi, Wen Keke, and Zhu Li dragged their suitcases out of the airport.

At the curb, Zhu Li waved and hailed a taxi, and she and Wen Keke took the cab back.

Liang Shishi kept standing at the curb waiting.

A few minutes later, a black Porsche Cayenne drove over and stopped in front of Liang Shishi.

Lin Feng honked twice, then rolled down the window.

Seeing Lin Feng in the driver's seat, Liang Shishi smiled and said, "Hey handsome, got a new car?"

Lin Feng took off his sunglasses, got out of the car, and helped his aunt put the suitcase into the trunk.

After getting in, Lin Feng drove while saying, "The previous car was given to Zhao Xiaoyang. You don't know, during this business trip, a big incident happened…"

Lin Feng recounted once more his righteous act of capturing the serial murderer.

Now in Lin Feng's house, a Brocade Flag sent by the police station is also hanging!

"For this year's Good Yanjing Good Citizen Selection, I think if I entered, I might actually win!"

Liang Shishi, however, frowned at Lin Feng and said, "If something like this happens again, don't be reckless; your own life is important."

"Got it, aunt!"

Lin Feng replied with a nod, then asked, "Why aren't Wen Keke and Zhu Li with you? They all live in the same residential complex; can I give them a ride as well?"

All three women live in Jinhuxiaoqu; Liang Shishi is in Building Six, room 901.

Wen Keke and Zhu Li are in 1706.

Liang Shishi laughed, "Why didn't they call you, handsome, to pick them up?"

Lin Feng turned his head and glanced at Liang Shishi, "I'm not their boyfriend; they might think that's inappropriate."

Liang Shishi said nothing.

Lin Feng asked, "How's the business going?"

Liang Shishi said, "Everything's settled; I'm just waiting for your money. If you dare stand me up this time, see how I deal with you."

Actually, Liang Shishi originally planned to return in two days.

She rushed back specifically to ask Lin Feng for money.

In the car, not a time for business talk, Liang Shishi, though impatient, kept her mouth shut and turned her head to look out the window.

Lin Feng also began to focus on driving.

As soon as they entered the house, Liang Shishi dropped the suitcase, went to the wardrobe, grabbed clothes and went to bathe.

Lin Feng could only sit down, light a cigarette and wait.

Half an hour later, Liang Shishi emerged from the bathroom with her long hair dripping wet, wearing a black silk camisole nightgown.

At that moment, Lin Feng was sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at his phone.

"What's wrong?"

Liang Shishi asked curiously.

"Bitcoin!"

Lin Feng sighed.

"What coin?" Liang Shishi asked, puzzled.

Lin Feng explained, "It's a virtual currency that circulates on the internet, composed of data."

Liang Shishi sat down beside Lin Feng, "What's the use? Isn't it just like the gold coins in online games?"

Lin Feng shook his head, "It's different; I feel this thing will be very valuable in the future."

He could only tell Liang Shishi.

Not a feeling, but a certainty!

It's still not too late to get in the car now.

In 2012, Bitcoin was priced at about $30; five years later, in 2017, it rose to nearly $20,000.

From $30 to $20,000, that's an increase of over 600 times!

In just a few short years, nothing has risen this wildly.

Now invest one hundred million dollars, and in five years it will be sixty billion dollars!

Of course! And it's impossible to spend a hundred million dollars in one go to acquire over three million units.

Bitcoin's price has surged wildly because people have hyped it up.

If we buy in bulk, regardless of whether we can obtain that many, even if we do get them, it will greatly affect future prices.

When the market makers don't have enough chips, how could they possibly drive the price up?

Lin Feng wrote down this important matter.

Guo Yanru has already settled it on her side; after returning, he'll hand this matter over to her.

"How much money do you still have on hand?"

Liang Shishi asked.

Lin Feng said, "We have invested 2.8 billion dollars, all for the development of the EUV Lithography Machine, and secured a ten‑percent stake…"

In the original timeline, Intel spent 4.1 billion and obtained a fifteen‑percent stake in ASML.

TSMC subscribed for a certain percent, and Mountain Star subscribed for three percent.

Now, because Lin Feng has appeared, and since Mountain Star never wanted to invest, it is not listed in the joint investment roster.

TSMC remains unchanged, still subscribing for a certain percent; Intel at ten percent, and Lin Feng's Qingfeng Capital at ten percent.

That is equivalent to snatching a huge piece of meat from Mountain Star and Intel.

Lin Feng's 4.2 billion dollars, only 2.8 billion has been spent, leaving 1.4 billion!

Although the investment hasn't been announced, it's not a secret.

Well‑informed Liang Shishi inquired and learned exactly how much money Lin Feng still has.

Liang Shishi asked that question merely to kick off the upcoming negotiation.

Lin Feng smiled, "Auntie, aren't you clear about how much money I have?"

Liang Shishi said, "The price I mentioned before was only an estimate. I didn't expect those bastards to raise the price on the spot; it infuriated me!"

Lin Feng shook his head, "That's not acceptable! I never wanted to start a media company, and I don't need your thirty‑percent share."

Liang Shishi grabbed Lin Feng's arm and said, "Good nephew, please agree to auntie! It's just pocket money for you."

Lin Feng turned his head away.

Liang Shishi persisted, "Good nephew! Handsome little guy! A heroic savior! A jade‑like figure in the wind, a man loved by all…"

"Calling me 'dad' won't work!" Lin Feng snorted coldly.

"Dad!"

Lin Feng jumped in shock, "Oh my aunt! For money, you even gave up your dignity!"

Liang Shishi smiled, "Do you agree or not?"

Lin Feng sighed, his face helpless, "I'm convinced. Three hundred million, that's all. Anything more, there's no negotiation."

"Deal!"

Liang Shishi smiled triumphantly.

She never expected Lin Feng could produce four hundred million; the lion opened its mouth wide merely to bargain.
