Chapter 88: Casting the Net
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Ming laid out his plan in a few words.
It was very simple. From the ‘future trends’ chart, one could see that Dogecoin, which had been fluctuating, could not only help people make money but also cause them to lose money.
Those who were into speculating were especially vulnerable.
They risked incurring losses.
On top of making some money for himself, Lu Ming was determined to swindle his ‘good brother,’ Lu Ze, and his family.
He entrusted Zhou Feng with carrying out the entire plan.
…
So…
Night Bar.
“I heard that Young Master Lu is in the hospital again. I just don’t know when he’ll be able to come out this time. We seldom have fun with him now. How boring! Ever since he got some strange illness, he rarely comes out to race.”
Blue Hair sipped his champagne and said listlessly.
“Why is your news so outdated?”
Yellow Hair said in surprise, “Young Master Lu was discharged a few days ago. He’s just being watched by his family and can’t come out now. I think his family saw him being intimate with a woman, so they did this.”
“Speaking of which, is Young Master Lu under such tight control now? Doesn’t his mom dote on him a lot?”
Red Hair asked curiously. Although they were slightly richer than ordinary families, they were nothing compared to Lu Ze. That was why Lu Ze was the one who would usually foot the bills. However, recently, he did not even step out of his house, so they could only have a couple of drinks here.
Yellow Hair explained, “You don’t know, right? Doesn’t Young Master Lu have an older brother?”
The other two were stunned.
“Brother?”
They thought for a long time before remembering that Young Master Lu had indeed mentioned this before, but he did not say much. He just kept scolding his brother.
Blue Hair asked, “What has it got to do with him? Didn’t Young Master Lu say that his brother is just a lowly person? He’s not even a threat.”
“Which low-class person has several companies under his name? And all of them are worth hundreds of millions of yuan.”
Dumbfounded, Yellow Hair rolled his eyes. When he heard about this back then, he almost thought that this world was a fantasy. If Lu Ze said that such people were at the bottom, then what level was the Lu family at?
“Gosh! That’s awesome!?”
Red Hair was stunned. “Where did you get this information? Are you sure it’s true? This person was oppressed by the Lu family but actually turned the tables around?!”
Yellow Hair nodded firmly. “The last time Young Master Lu picked up the phone, I happened to pass by and heard it. Now, even if the Lu family wants to lay their hands on him, they have to reconsider.”
“Isn’t Young Master Lu in a very bad situation now?”
Blue Hair’s words made the atmosphere tense. He seemed to realize that he’d said something wrong and said awkwardly, “I’ll go get some more wine.”
With that, he got up and walked to the bar counter. On the way back, he suddenly stopped and stared intently at a table on the west-facing side of the bar.
“Do you know about virtual currencies?”
A man in a jacket was asking his masked friend in a cryptic tone.
His friend, who was looking distracted, replied, “Virtual currencies? What is this? Can it earn money?”
“Of course! I have a distant relative who works at a company. Their boss has recently made a lot of money online because of virtual currencies. It’s said that before this, their boss was just an ordinary person. He probably built his company from the money he made online.”
The man in the jacket was getting more excited as he talked.
He paused for a moment before continuing, “That’s not just a small company. It’s quite famous in the industry now. You know that I’m short of money recently, so I’ve been looking for ways to earn money. I heard that he’s doing pretty well recently, so I pestered him for a long time before he told me.”
“Then tell me, how do you make money from virtual currencies?”
His friend, whose interest was piqued, asked.
The man in the jacket answered, “Do you know about blockchain? Although it’s not very popular domestically, it’s very popular overseas now. Many big shots have said that this is a future trend. This thing is similar to speculating. As long as you invest in it, you basically won’t lose anything. It’s a stable thing.”
“Are you sure? Is there such a thing as a free lunch in this world?”
His friend was not overwhelmed by this huge surprise. Instead, he analyzed calmly.
The man in the jacket took out his phone and said, “I didn’t believe it at first, but later, I tried it out myself. It hasn’t even been a week, but I’ve earned tens of thousands. Look! This is the money I made. It’s still rising.”
Blue Hair narrowed his eyes and saw a few numbers on it.
Is this real!? he wondered.
Instantly, he pricked up his ears and listened even more carefully.
As if he was showing off, the man in the jacket said smugly, “If it weren’t for the fact that we’re close, I wouldn’t have revealed such a lucrative opportunity. There aren’t many people playing now, and we can quickly seize the initiative and make a killing. What do you think?”
“It’s indeed not bad. I’ll start playing with this when I get back. Oh right, can you tell me who the boss of this company is?”
Blue Hair, who had originally planned to leave, stopped in his tracks. He was also very curious to know who that person was.
The man in the jacket winked and said softly, “He’s quite famous. Lu Ze’s brother from the Lu family…”
Blue Hair did not listen to what he said next. His mind was still on the first half of his sentence. The protagonist these two people are talking about is Young Master Lu’s older brother?!
It seemed reasonable to think this way. After all, they had speculated about where Lu Ming got the money to start his company. Now they finally had the answer!
So it was currency speculation!
Someone delivers a pillow just as I’m feeling sleepy. Isn’t this a surprise from the heavens?! he thought.
Blue Hair suppressed his excitement and joy and walked quickly to the booth they had reserved. He said, “Guess what I just heard?”
“What? Could it be a melodramatic love triangle?”
Red Hair gave an answer that was far from the truth.
“No, guess again!”
“A certain tycoon had an affair?”
Yellow Hair was puzzled.
Blue Hair opened a bottle and gulped down a few glasses. “One look and I can tell that you guys aren’t people who accomplish big things! All you think about is love! I heard from the other party how Young Master Lu’s brother got the money to start a company!”
“Where did he get the money? A loan from the bank?”
Yellow Hair asked curiously.
But Red Hair was clearly not very interested in this matter. He said, “How could that be a simple matter? It has nothing to do with ordinary people like us!”
“No, no, no. This is you being narrow-minded, right? We can earn money by doing the same thing. We can earn at least hundreds of thousands of yuan!”
Blue Hair said in high spirits.
The two men opposite looked at each other. Red Hair guessed, “It can’t be a gamble, right?”
“How can that be? It’s the money in the blockchain. It’s similar to speculating about stocks. Not long ago, I saw with my own eyes that the virtual currency that someone bought was increasing. In just a week, he made tens of thousands!”
Blue Hair could almost see himself lying in a pile of money.
Red Hair was puzzled. “Are you sure you weren’t fooled? Why haven’t I heard of this thing?”
