"Explosion! The richest man in the Xia Kingdom was arrested in the United States! Is it a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature?"

"The richest man in Xia State shorted U.S. stocks and was taken away by the FBI for investigation!"

"The richest man in the Xia Kingdom is facing difficulties from the Western world, and may be imprisoned."

The three major portals Zhalang, Sohu, and NetEase almost unanimously reported on Lu Yiming's investigation by the FBI, and they said it with a clear conscience, as if Lu Yiming had been imprisoned and had pleaded guilty and was punished.

Compared with paper media's lag in information dissemination, the magic of the Internet lies in its excellent timeliness. News published in newspapers must be typeset, printed and even finally distributed before the information can be delivered to users.

But the Internet only requires a computer connected to the Internet, and news can be spread throughout the entire network in an instant. The copy speed is incredibly fast, and the immediacy completely crushes traditional media.

When American newspapers had not fully spread the news about Lu Yiming's arrest, the three major domestic portals had already gotten the news first and published it on the front pages of their websites.

Among them, the news with the highest number of clicks is undoubtedly the news about Zha Lang. A man with moral decay and a twisted human nature is simply addictive.

In fact, Zhalang, which was founded in December 1998, has followed the route of hype and attention-grabbing since the establishment of the website. For example, on May 8, 1999, the embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was bombed, and Zhalang

There was a wave of crazy hype, and it won the first place in CNNIC’s Internet website rankings.

Hype and popularity are the foundation of Zhalang's website building. It did not start after a certain software was developed. In fact, it was that software that continued this idea and carried it forward and introduced new ones. It can be regarded as another kind of "nothing".

Only by forgetting your original intention can you always succeed."

Although the Internet is not as convenient as it was in later generations, there are actually a lot of Internet users, and they are available all over the country. Unlike newspapers and television media, which have certain geographical limitations.

Moreover, the most important thing about the Internet is that it spreads quickly. Add the richest man, America, and jail. These words are too topical.

In an instant, the news that the richest man in the Xia Kingdom was arrested in the United States spread almost throughout the streets and alleys of the Xia Kingdom. It became a topic of conversation between people after dinner, triggering countless discussions and even quarrels.

A few dusting workers had just come off the construction site. After washing off the dust on their faces and hands, they hurriedly found a small restaurant and started eating.

While waiting for the food, several people started chatting about the news of Lu Yiming's arrest.

A worker said enthusiastically: "Hey, do you know? I heard that the richest man in Xia State was arrested in the United States. How come the richest man in Xia State was arrested by police detectives in the United States?"

The worker sitting opposite him immediately argued: "Whatever I was arrested for, it was said in the news that I was just assisting in the investigation. I will be fine in the end."

But fair words may not win people's hearts. On the contrary, hatred of the rich has become more and more common in this era where money is becoming more and more attractive.

When Lu Yiming was arrested, many people applauded and praised: "Well done! Rich people are not good people. Lu Yiming became the richest man in Xia Kingdom at such a young age. How can he be a serious businessman? Let me see, he

This time there will be more misfortunes."

Since ancient times, hating the rich has been a very common mentality. Lu Yiming is so rich at a young age, which will certainly make a lot of people feel uncomfortable, especially people like them who have never read any books and can only work on the construction site.

The lowest level of society is dusted above.

If you feel that you have worked hard but your income is not as much as a capitalist's, you will naturally feel unbalanced.

Therefore, after Lu Yiming was arrested, even though he had nothing to do with them, many people still felt happy, as if this was some kind of happy event.

Subsequently, the news spread from the Internet to offline. After all, the arrest of the richest man in the Xia Kingdom in the United States was a big deal. Various newspapers and magazines reprinted it, and the matter became bigger and bigger.

China Shipping, Stock Exchange Hall.

Xu boldly held the newspaper and looked confused: "Where is the value investment that was promised? How come the richest man, Lu, went short US stocks in the blink of an eye?"

People around me were also reading the news in the newspaper and talking about it.

"The richest man deserves to be the richest man. This situation is too big. We are still thinking about making a few small bucks by trading stocks, but he is good at destroying a country's economy at every turn, and the one he does is the United States!"

"I admire the courage of the richest man Lu! That is the United States, the world's number one superpower. Hey, do you think the richest man Lu can come back alive this time?"

"Who knows? Can the United States be easy to deal with? And I also heard that the laws there are very perfect. If the richest man in China really breaks the law, he will inevitably go to jail."

"That's such a pity. He is still so young. If he has a criminal record, he will not be able to pass the civil service exam when he comes back. Not only will he not be able to take the exam, but his descendants will also not be able to take the exam."

"Are you kidding me? He can't spend enough money to pass the civil service exam."

"That's right."

At this moment, New York, America.

On this day, Lu Yiming received a group of special guests in the villa.

Embassy staff.

After all, he is the youngest richest man in the Xia Kingdom. If such a big thing happens, of course the officials will come forward to understand the situation.

To put it more seriously, I, the richest man in mainland Xia, came to you and was caught in the United States. Are you not slapping my Xia country in the face?

In any case, the official will make a certain statement.

After learning that Lu Yiming did not violate any laws and regulations, these staff members repeatedly assured that they would absolutely protect Lu Yiming's legitimate rights and interests as a citizen of Xia Kingdom, and then stood up to leave. Before leaving, they even stated that they would pay attention to the progress of the incident at any time.

.

After seeing these people off, Lu Yiming sat on the sofa with a tired look on his face and sighed: "Hey, I'm tired."

Li Yiwen said disdainfully: "You're so tired, I'm really tired, okay? I've been running around these days just to help you settle this matter, but it turns out you're good, sitting here either watching TV or chatting online, now

Are you still telling me that you are tired? Are you embarrassed?"

Lu Yiming retorted: "What are you talking about online? You don't know how to speak. I'm an Internet person, and surfing the Internet is my job! I'm doing something big!"

"Making something big happen?"

When Li Yiwen heard this, he immediately became alert.

"What big thing are you doing? Didn't you say you wanted to keep it quiet before? Now you tell me that you are doing something big?"

"I'm warning you, don't act recklessly. We are not out of danger yet."

Lu Yiming comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I won't provoke the FBI again."

Li Yiwen frowned and asked, "Then what are you doing?"

Lu Yiming didn't hide it, saying: "I am engaged in cryptocurrency."

"What the hell?" Li Yiwen didn't know much about computers and didn't know what Lu Yiming was talking about.

Lu Yiming repeated: "Cryptocurrency."

Li Yiwen asked: "What is that?"

Lu Yiming said: "Simply put, this is a trading medium that uses cryptographic principles to ensure transaction security and control the creation of transaction units. It is also called digital currency. Simply put, I am creating a general equivalent."

"ha?"

Although Li Yiwen didn't understand the first half of what Lu Yiming said, Li Yiwen understood the second half of what Lu Yiming said.

"Your thing is useless. It is true that the essence of currency is a general equivalent, but it relies on national credit and commodity anchoring to determine value. You have nothing. And this thing of yours is essentially a set of data, right?

Can this be used as money? Who in the brain is stupid enough to recognize this?"

Li Yiwen thought this was really outrageous. He was using a set of virtual program data as money. Are there really such fools in the world?

Lu Yiming took out a hundred-dollar bill with Franklin's face on it, flicked it with his fingers, and the crisp sound echoed in the spacious living room.

"You said this hundred dollars in my hand, is it really worth a hundred dollars?"

Li Yiwen frowned and asked: "What do you mean by that? Didn't I just say it? Money is a general equivalent. The US dollar is backed by the United States. Who is behind your cryptocurrency?"

Lu Yiming shook his head and replied with a smile: "No one knows the truth, but this is precisely the biggest advantage of cryptocurrency."

The biggest feature of cryptocurrency is decentralization, and this is where its greatest value lies.

Li Yiwen held his forehead and asked distressedly: "No one knows the truth? What the hell is this? Why do I feel that you are making me more and more confused the more I listen to you?"

"It would be complicated to explain this."

Lu Yiming thought for a while and said, "Let me tell you this, do you think it will be difficult for me to leave the United States if I make money by shorting U.S. stocks?"

Although he didn't know what Lu Yiming meant when he asked this, Li Yiwen still said: "It must be difficult. Although the financial market in the United States is open, it is actually subject to supervision everywhere, especially the transfer of large amounts of funds. It is even more difficult to cover up.

.What’s more, you are now under investigation, and your every move is being watched. Once a large amount of funds are transferred, the FBI will come to your door in minutes.”

Lu Yiming said with a serious face: "In the United States, if you carry US$10,000 in cash, you must declare it in advance, otherwise it is illegal. This means that any large amount of funds that you want to transfer must go through the bank in advance. The United States only needs to freeze it

If you steal my account, I won’t be able to take any money away.”

Then Lu Yiming changed the topic and said: "But what if I exchange the U.S. dollars in my hand into other currencies? For example, electronic currencies without physical entities, relying on the Internet for transactions, and after leaving the United States, I can exchange them into the currency I need.

Type, wouldn’t it be possible to completely avoid the supervision and blockade of banks and other financial institutions? I call this decentralization, and the essence of cryptocurrency is such a decentralized currency.”

“As for whether you are worried about whether the value of cryptocurrency can be recognized by more people, it is actually very simple. The first is to use the algorithm to make the cryptocurrency unable to be copied and counterfeited. The second is to continuously promote and build momentum to let more people know about encryption.

The existence of currency, in this way, this kind of virtual currency that relies entirely on the Internet will have sufficient credibility."

After hearing Lu Yiming's crazy plan, Li Yiwen became spartan, his eyes widened: "Oh my God, you are trying to rebel against the United States!"

He finally understood now that with the birth of cryptocurrency, the first thing to shake was the US dollar hegemony.

What is seeking death?

This is it!

"My good cousin, please don't mess around. You have made many big shots in the United States unhappy by shorting U.S. stocks. Are you still engaged in cryptocurrency because you think you didn't die neatly enough?"

Seeing Li Yiwen's expression change, Lu Yiming burst out laughing and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Li Yiwen said unceremoniously: "How many farts! In my opinion, you are obviously looking for death!"
