Chapter 44 - Starting A Digital Currency Mine
'So... You mean we can get one of the spaces over there to be rented out for this purpose?' Wang Yufei was on a call after she was done with her daily reports. And when it comes to matter like this, she's one of the best, to the point big corporations was headhunting her with a promised salary above average.
She was an entirely opposite of Zhang Qin Feng, who has nothing and failed to secure the most basic position of sales exec from fifteen different interviews.
'Yes... How much would the rental be? Five thousand a month, without deposit? Payment will be two times a year... So that'll be 30,000 dollars every half a year.'
'Yes... I understand... It won't be used for that reason... You know my background." Wang Yufei assured the person on the other side of the phone call that it won't be used for suspicious activities, such as terrorism, drug dealing, or smuggling.
"Great! Then I'll bring my partner over when we decided the time to pay your office a visit. Thank you so much, uncle Su." Wang Yufei exhaled after the call ended. She was partially satisfied as she had done what she could to help Zhang Qin Feng build his career.

'What else can we do except creating my own survival base?' although he would like to go ahead with Stein's suggestion, Zhang Qin Feng had no confidence to work things out.
[We can also turn to investment. After listening to the partner's suggestion, the system has updated its database accordingly to increase the flexibility in the system's response]
-
[With 120,000 dollars in your account, the system suggests that the user creates a hype via your world's international web communication, starting by purchasing the WIFE-Coin from another miner's hand]
-
'What? I'm barely covering my own expenses now, and you're still suggesting that I purchase the coins from other miners? Give me a solid reason for the system to come up with this suggestion.' Zhang Qin Feng said.
Once again, he stopped by the same ice cream shop and purchased a cone of vanilla-flavored ice cream to enjoy as he listened to Stein's explanation.
[This is currently the most optimal solution to "jerk" up the value of WIFE-Coin without relying on the business magazine. At this moment, WIFE-Coin was our best option as it is considered the easiest to mine. This means we can take ownership of this coin until a new digital currency is introduced]
-
[Right now, only 12.3% of the WIFE-Coin's shortcode has been given out. We're only holding 0.32% in our hand. With a proper Mining Factory where the three processing systems can run with 120% efficiency, it will take us less than one year to control over 10% of the WIFE-Coins]
-
[Right now, each WIFE-Coin only worth two cents if we purchase them through market price. But what if their value appreciates? The system has recorded their exchange rate when we're passing by the Currency Exchange Center]
-
[BEAST-Coin: 11 dollars]
[S-Coin: 3 dollars]
[ELF-Coin: 0.81 dollars]
-
[How much the coin possibly increase in their value wasn't our top concern right now. Our worries shall be how many percentages of the WIFE-Coin in our hands when that happened]
Listening to Stein's explanation made Zhang Qin Feng kept holding the melted ice cream in his hand. The doubt on his face was also gone by the time he gives out a smile.
A phone call came as he was getting reading to throw the softened waffle cone into the bin.
"Feng, are you coming back later?" Wang Yufei asked.
"Yes. I'm just two streets away. Is it time for lunch already?" Zhang Qin Feng asked as he picked up his pace.
"Not yet. I have a piece of good news I'd like to tell you, so I thought I can persuade you to come back as soon as possible," Wang Yufei said. But it seems she doesn't need to persuade him as Zhang Qin Feng was on his way back to the restaurant.
"I'll see you in five minutes." Zhang Qin Feng gave her a smooch over the phone and ended the call.
The moment he arrived at the restaurant, Zhang Qin Feng exchanged his greetings with the workers as he climbed the stairs to the second floor. It seems Wang Yufei has been waiting for him after he ends the phone call.
"What you wanted to tell me?" Zhang Qin Feng asked as he hugged Wang Yufei into his arms and kissed her on the lips.
"I've found a place for you to start your mining workshop. It's about half an hour's drive from your studio apartment. That place used to be a car assembly factory. But because the company has gone bankrupt, there are many smaller garage spaces left empty without a plan to demolish them."
"The rental is very cheap, five thousand a month, and a minimum half a year rental has to be paid. So that would be 30,000 dollars every half a year. Since it wasn't as populated as the town center, the electrical supply should be enough without wiring their hub again." Wang Yufei said everything without keeping any information hidden.
"That's great. What's the earliest date to meet the management and seal the deal?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. Listening to what Wang Yufei said makes him happy to the point he doesn't mind paying an entire year worth of rent.
"We can go after we finish our lunch. All we need to do is bring your National Identification, bank account statement, and your equipment." Wang Yufei said.
"Then... Let's do it after lunch. Can you accompany me?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.
"Of course, I'll accompany you. How can I bear to let my beloved take a taxi there?" Wang Yufei laughed. A moment's later, the food is finally served inside Wang Yufei's office.
It was 1 pm in the afternoon as they get on their way. Taking a little over 35 minutes to arrive, the two soon met with a middle-aged man.
"I am Zhang Qin Feng. It was nice to meet you." Zhang Qin Feng introduces himself politely.
