BXBX NOVEL Chapter 3
Real estate investment was one option, but it required capital. Although his family had it, Wang Ye didn’t want to ask them for it. Even if his family had tens of millions in assets, he would only be able to take out one or two million at most. With that amount of money, even buying a slightly better house in a city like Shanghai could be a challenge, especially since this was not the 1990s but 2009.
However, Wang Ye still had a solution: Bitcoins. This was even better than buying a house.
In 11 to 12 years, a single bitcoin would be worth 300,000 to 400,000 yuans. And now, it was October 2009. If he remembered correctly, Bitcoin was released in January of that year.
Wang Ye worked on his computer and soon accessed the external network. He was familiar with accessing the CP transport ship and quickly entered the treehouse of DNF Celia, but he struggled to find his way beyond the firewall in the country. Even with his English proficiency, it was like a foreign language to him.
However, after his rebirth, it was nothing. In less than ten minutes, Wang Ye found a Bitcoin exchange forum. After browsing the information for a while, he began to prepare. In this day and age, if one wanted to trade bitcoins, they could only find someone to buy them from on the forum. There was no exchange, and it was a kind of private transaction.
Unfortunately, it was difficult for Wang Ye to trade with foreigners outside the country. Therefore, Wang Ye took a step back and looked for the next best option.
Wang Ye considered mining bitcoins himself.
With Bitcoin just starting, it was not difficult to mine it, especially since he had a computer.
Within an hour, Wang Ye had mined 28 bitcoins from a mining pool. This would be unimaginable in the future when Bitcoin becomes more popular, and many people and machines would struggle to mine even one in a few days. Yet now, because of the transmigration, with just one computer, Wang Ye was able to mine 28 in an hour and over 600 in a day. He couldn’t help but sigh at the thought of the bitcoins he had mined, which were worth hundreds of thousands of yuans in the future.
Time passed, and by October 31st, the recruitment process was officially over.
On November 3rd, Wang Ye received a notice from the armed forces. He had already known he had passed the preliminary selection, as his father was more concerned about him quitting his internet addiction than anything else.
On the 7th, Wang Ye woke up early and arrived at the county hospital where the military physical inspection was being carried out today, escorted by Wang Jianjun.
“This person’s family drives a Mercedes-Benz, and he’s here for a physical examination?”
“Rich second-generation heir, why does he want to join the army?”
“Is he bored? My brother said that there are actually deserters in the army every year. These must be the people who are deserters in reserve! ”
Clearly, the people in the queue had seen Wang Ye alighting from the Mercedes-Benz, and discussions started to fly. Wang Ye wasn’t used to it, and he glared at them when he heard the discussions, showing that he was not someone to be bullied. Furthermore, in his hometown, he was not afraid of anything. He could be as arrogant as he wanted, as long as he did not cause trouble himself, his father would most definitely be able to settle any issues.
Of course, these people weren’t fools either. Those who were heard discussing shrunk their necks when he glared at them.
Many people understood the saying that the poor should not fight the rich.
The queue for the physical examination was quick, and after ten minutes, Wang Ye completed the forms and followed the signs and people for the various checks.
Most of the examination went fine, but Wang Ye was a little uncomfortable with the naked examination, especially when there was a female doctor in there.
Fortunately, he wasn’t the only one who felt that way. Everyone felt the same. He braced himself and accepted the examination.
Finally, after the examination was over and after handing in the medical examination form, Wang Ye walked out of the hospital. The only thing left to do was wait.
While waiting for the results of the physical examination, they also carried out political investigations.
However, this had little to do with Wang Ye. He only needed to wait for the enlistment notice to come.
He believed that after his physical examination was done, Old Wang would definitely be able to guarantee that he would be able to receive the enlistment notice. There would not be any problems with his enlistment, and he would not be replaced or rejected.
When he got home, Wang Ye was only in his room for a split second before going out for a run at the gym.
This was what Wang Ye had been doing since he signed up. He jogged every morning, noon, and evening and spent at least two hours in the gym every day.
Although it was initially difficult because of the sudden exercise, causing muscle strains, it was still recovering quickly with the help of massage at the gym.
By now, Wang Ye’s body has become stronger, at least he can run three to four kilometers from home to the gym every day without feeling too much burden.
In the gym, although he rests after a workout, his muscles have also changed a little.
“It seems that our son has really changed for the better! I haven’t seen him play games since he signed up for the army!”
Xu Xiaofeng was also at home today. Wang Jianjun didn’t hurry to leave after he brought Wang Ye back either.
At this moment, the two of them were on the balcony on the second floor of the villa. As they watched Wang Ye jog out, Xu Xiaofeng’s tears almost came out.
Spoiling the child didn’t mean that she didn’t know that the child was misbehaving. Now that she saw Wang Ye’s change, how could she not be happy?
“He’s become a little better, but you can’t praise him and don’t even think about it.
“I know you can’t bear to part with him, but the child has grown up. You can’t accompany him for the rest of his life.
“While there’s still hope, he should become a soldier for two years, and that would truly change him.
“This way, we can rest assured and hand over our business to him in the future!”
“I know, but Old Wang, I won’t be able to see Xiao Ye for two years. I…”
“No buts. It’s only for two years!”
Wang Jianjun was determined to send Wang Ye to the army this time. He knew what his wife was thinking. Seeing that Wang Ye had become a little better, she felt that he didn’t need to be sent to the army anymore.
Anyway, everything was still being processed, and as long as Wang Jianjun gave the green light, everything could still be reconsidered.
Unfortunately, Old Wang would not agree. Moreover, Wang Ye would definitely not agree.
Time passed again, and on December 1st, Wang Ye officially received his enlistment notice.
And on that very day, Wang Ye, accompanied by Wang Jianjun, went to his hometown to cancel his household registration and transfer it to military status, bringing along his ID and household register. It was also on this day that Wang Ye’s system was successfully activated. Although he hasn’t gone to the military unit yet, technically speaking, he is now a soldier.
