Chapter 672 - 285: Why Are There So Many USB Drives?
The day before the New Year, Li Yang received a call from Chen Peipei.
"Li Xiao wants to talk to you."
"I won’t answer! Just tell him anything you need to say, I don’t deal with platform issues anymore."
Li Yang was determined not to keep in touch with Li Xiao anymore.
Now the Bitcoin platform has been deemed illegal by multiple countries.
First, it was China last year. Li Xiao had no choice but to flee to Japan, but within two months, Japan also deemed it illegal and expelled him.
Then, he went to Po County, but now he can’t stay there either.
"He says he wants you to recommend a place; he feels the only place he can go now is the United States. He’s already bought a house there."
Li Yang said, "If he wants to stay alive, he’d better not go to the United States; let him go to the United Arab Emirates and settle down, preferably without leaving. He’s not short on money now anyway, he can live however he wants."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yang felt deeply reflective.
Who knows if Li Xiao is regretting his decisions now.
Honestly taking ten thousand Bitcoins, he could have still become a wealthy man.
Although there is more money now...
Even though he only owns thirty percent of the platform, over the past year and ten months, thanks to their strong backing capabilities, the contracts have never had issues, never shut down any user, causing almost all of the Bitcoin contract transactions in the market to be absorbed by their platform.
The last time Bitcoin prices hit two thousand US Dollars, the daily spot trading volume of Bitcoin exceeded one hundred billion US Dollars, with contract trading reaching five to six billion US Dollars.
The contract trading fees are usually point two-per-thousand to point five-per-thousand for taking orders, which rounds to point seven-per-thousand.
Their platform’s daily contract trading volume is at least three hundred billion US Dollars, meaning the platform earns over twenty million US Dollars a day, which is six billion US Dollars a month.
Although such a scale lasted only about four months, now the Bitcoin daily trading volume is only over sixty billion US Dollars. Even though the platform is large, Bitcoin prices have dropped, and the contract trading isn’t very active, with daily contract trading just around one hundred fifty billion US Dollars.
The platform’s daily revenue is about ten million US Dollars, which is three billion US Dollars a month.
From just platform fees, in less than two years, it has earned over one hundred billion US Dollars.
His thirty percent yield already matches Li Xiao’s holdings in Bitcoin in value.
Plus, he leveraged the platform’s convenience to sell a batch of Bitcoin.
Even considering the company’s overall profit, he still made money.
In under two years, his net worth is nearing four billion US Dollars, enough to make it onto the wealth rankings.
Yet... he’s running around like a rat on the streets.
After a while, Chen Peipei called again, "I’ve returned to Jiang City, come over, I’m at the house you bought for Qingqing."
Li Yang looked at the time and said, "Alright."
It’s still early, not yet time for bed.
Li Yang knew what Chen Peipei wanted to discuss, he had previously told her not to talk about Bitcoin matters on the phone, as well as platform issues.
He told Jiang Banxia, then went downstairs to drive away.
A few minutes later, he stopped at Qingshui Bay.
He and Jiang Banxia were either at Qingshui Bay or at Shihe Mansion. As for the villa over at Green Water Heaven and Earth, after half a year, it’s been renovated, the villa area’s landscaping is complete, and within half a year, they could move in anytime.
At least it’s not yet ready for residence.
Bai Qing’s house hasn’t been lived in for a long time, Li Yang even left the keys at Jiangbei, not taking them back.
He knocked on the door, and Chen Peipei quickly opened it.
Due to the lack of heating, even with the heater on, Chen Peipei wore a thick sweater.
However, her figure is truly outstanding, making the sweater curve noticeably.
After Li Yang entered, he noticed two large boxes in the room.
He walked over with interest and asked, "What’s this?"
Speaking while opening them.
Then... inside was gleaming gold...
Chen Peipei hurried over to cover it and said, "This is what you agreed to, anything I spend counts as mine."
"I didn’t say I wanted it, just looking... how did you get so much?"
"Are you sure you won’t go back on your word?"
"Sure!"
"Very well then."
Chen Peipei relaxed and said, "These two boxes are just a small portion, only adding up to a ton; I went through a lot of trouble, running back and forth over ten times to get them to this room."
"This is just a small portion?"
"I collected these domestically, arranged some people, and got investment gold bars from major domestic banks. Didn’t dare get too much, worried about being watched."
Li Yang: "..."
What does "not too much" mean?
A ton, huh? Is this not considered a lot?
Though a ton of gold now is only worth over two billion, nearly three billion, but domestically gold is tightly controlled, Chen Peipei is definitely being watched.
But these are minor affairs, Chen Peipei has the spending ability.
"Just heard you say, you got goods from abroad too?"
Chen Peipei nodded, "Yes, over in Switzerland, they will specifically send me five tons in March."
In Chen Peipei’s view, having a few tons of gold is already enough.
Li Yang replied indignantly, "I promised you could buy as much as you want, why just get this little? You dared to buy a ton domestically, why not a hundred tons abroad?"
Chen Peipei: "????"
Li Yang felt Chen Peipei was still too reserved.
Is this little gold enough to fill the cracks in teeth?
