Chapter 21 Proposal

At noon, in a fast food restaurant outside Stanford University, Wu Fei was boringly stirring the coffee in front of him and asked Zhao Yedao: "Mingzhe, have you decided whether you want to continue studying for a PhD in computer engineering?"

Zhao Ye leaned back and replied listlessly: "To be honest, I can't make up my mind myself. What suggestions do you have?"

"I think you should continue your studies. Didn't Professor Johnson say that he would accept you as his student? What a pity it would be to miss this opportunity."

Faced with Wu Fei's suggestion, Zhao Ye calmly pretended to be cool: "If you miss it, you will miss it. Anyway, I have already completed the professional knowledge of doctoral students by myself. Instead of wasting this time, it is better to change my major and learn something new."

knowledge.”

Wu Fei disagreed with this answer. She objected: "How can a master's degree be compared with a doctorate? If you can successfully obtain a doctorate certificate, you will have no worries whether you stay in the United States or return to China.

Can’t find a good job?”

Hearing that Wu Fei was worried about his future, Zhao Ye really wanted to tell her that she was overthinking it. Even if he was idle every day from now on, it would not be a big deal. After all, anyone who holds the code to future wealth would be so confident.

Not to mention anything else, one Bitcoin alone is enough to make Zhao Ye a billionaire in a few years. This is really not a joke.

The current time point is August 2009, more than a year has passed since the concept of Bitcoin was first born, and on January 3 this year, the first block of Bitcoin, the "Genesis Block"

Being dug out, this announced the launch of the Bitcoin network and also meant the beginning of the crypto-asset and blockchain movement.

It is worth mentioning that Bitcoin has not yet appeared in the trading market, it is only circulated among some programmers.

But don't worry, because Bitcoin has created amazing wealth in his previous life, Zhao Ye has learned some relevant information in detail, so he clearly remembers that the first Bitcoin transaction occurred in May of next year.

Wu Fei felt relieved, and the corners of his mouth were obviously raised, but he still said extremely arrogantly: "Don't be so beautiful, you don't even have a proposal ceremony, why should I agree to marry you!"

"If I told you in advance, would it still be considered a surprise?"

Suddenly hearing this, Wu Fei was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhao Ye suspiciously, trying to distinguish the authenticity from his face.

Could it be... Thinking of the surprises that his boyfriend would occasionally do, Wu Fei's heart couldn't help but beat, and he suppressed his excitement and nodded.

The behavior of foreigners was different. When they discovered that someone was performing a proposal ceremony at the scene, these young men and women from Stanford became excited instantly and spoke out to cheer Zhao Ye.

But even if one coin is worth one dollar, for those who know the future trend of Bitcoin, it is still a bargain price, and it contains amazing profit margins.

"You pass!" Wu Fei was very satisfied with this answer. He stood on tiptoes with a smile, kissed Zhao Ye on the face, and then asked, "When will you notify your family?"

It was the peak dining period in the restaurant at this time, so the actions of the two naturally attracted a lot of attention.

After just a moment of hesitation, Zhao Ye responded directly.

After finishing speaking, he added: "If you are really that slow, then I might as well hint you a few more times until you understand."

Although subsequent large-scale transactions continued to occur, the price of Bitcoin began to rise significantly. According to data, by July 28, 2010, the price of Bitcoin was US$0.5, which doubled from the initial price.

Nearly two hundred times.

However, even if the benefits cannot be maximized, a huge amount of wealth can still be obtained.

For example, when the value of Bitcoin is hundreds or thousands of dollars, you can sell some cash out in batches, so that it will not be so eye-catching. Anyway, Bitcoin has experienced four relatively large increases. During this period, opportunities

There are many.

For a time traveler who can foresee the future, as long as he travels to the right time, it is that simple to make a fortune.

Zhao Ye had a mysterious smile on his face when he heard this, and asked in a joking tone: "You mean, as long as I take out the ring and kneel down to propose, you will immediately agree to marry me?"

Zhao Ye said with a smile: "Look, you have already put on my ring, and you still have to beat around the bush when you talk. Why don't you just ask me directly when we will get married, and you insist on me guessing? If I can't guess, I will

Let’s see how you end up!”

After a while, she asked curiously: "When did you buy the ring? Why don't I know about it at all?"

"Auntie, this is completely unfounded. She doesn't understand me. How can you still not understand me? As long as you speak today, we can get married tomorrow."

Amidst the cheers, Wu Fei did not cover her mouth or have tears in her eyes as shown in the movie. She just blushed slightly and slowly handed over her left hand, watching Zhao Ye bring the ring.

Her middle finger.

But it’s understandable if you think about it. After all, it’s been almost two years since the two officially established their relationship, and their relationship has been stable. In addition, Wu Fei will be twenty-five after the Chinese New Year, so it’s not surprising that he has some thoughts in his heart.

Of course, this is just a simple calculation of profits. If such an outrageous thing really happens in reality, then this person will definitely not live long. Not to mention whether the U.S. government will intervene, even the financial giants on Wall Street will have a chance every minute.

There are many ways to make this person disappear from the world.

The specific story of what happened was this. On a whim, a programmer used 10,000 Bitcoins to exchange two pizzas worth $25 online. This was the famous "Bitcoin Pizza" incident in the history of Bitcoin.

.

"Mingzhe, my mother mentioned our relationship on the phone the day before yesterday and asked me to ask you what your plans are."

"Then close your eyes first!"

So what was the initial circulation price of Bitcoin? It is not difficult to figure out the answer through calculation. It is an unbelievable price of approximately US$0.0025.

Zhao Ye is not stupid, and of course he understands the subtext of these words, and there is also a possibility that Wu Fei himself used Wu's mother's words to test his mind.

Wu Fei didn't know Zhao Ye's true thoughts, but he also saw that he seemed to have other plans, so he stopped trying to persuade him and instead talked about another topic with some hesitation.

Wu Fei clasped his hands and followed the instructions. After a moment, he opened his eyes as prompted. What he saw was Zhao Ye's half-kneeling figure in front of him, and the most important thing was that he was holding a sapphire ring in his hand.

We might as well do some calculations. Suppose a person bought 10,000 Bitcoins in 10 years at a price of one dollar each. As long as he holds them until the first half of 2021, the value of a single Bitcoin will be as high as

If he sells it for more than 60,000 US dollars, he can easily get more than billions of dollars in wealth.

There is a saying that foreigners are indeed much more passionate and unrestrained than Chinese people when it comes to relationships. If Chinese people saw the scene in front of them, they would probably laugh it off at most.

This incident also marked that Bitcoin, as an online virtual currency, officially began to circulate in the market.

Wu Fei was a little embarrassed when his little thought was exposed, and couldn't help but argue loudly: "I am a girl, if I ask you directly like this, wouldn't it be very shameful!"

Then, the two hugged each other to celebrate, thanked everyone present for their blessings with a smile, and finally left hand in hand sweetly.

Coming out of the restaurant, Wu Fei held Zhao Ye in his right hand and leaned his head tightly on his shoulder. He looked at the ring on his left hand from time to time and couldn't get enough of it.

The two of them joked all the way back to Huang Xiuhui's house, and were inevitably congratulated by Huang Xiuhui again.

That night, after the passion, Wu Fei rested his head on Zhao Ye's arm and asked again when he would notify his family.

Zhao Ye thought for a moment and replied: "It's just a phone call away from home. You can tell them at any time. But have you ever thought about where our wedding should be held? Is it in the United States or in China?"

It was a top priority in life, so Wu Fei was in a dilemma for a while. He compared it secretly and felt that each had its own advantages. After he couldn't make up his mind, he simply threw the problem back and said that everything would be arranged by Zhao Ye.
Chapter completed!
