As a member of the film crew, Duan Xian naturally couldn't leave as freely as Meng Lang.
After accompanying the interviews with journalists, it was already a few hours later, and then he attended the crew's celebration banquet.
"Brother Wei, shall we go singing together later?"
"Sure, Junior Brother Yin, let's have a drink together, and I'll call a couple more people, is Teacher Hao Teng going?"
"Oh, he had something to do in the evening, so he left first."
"I see... Then let's call a few beautiful ladies too, we won't leave until we're drunk tonight!"
"Absolutely!"
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, a few young actors from the second and third tiers decided to move to the next location to socialize.
Coincidentally, they all seemed to deliberately overlook Duan Xian on the side.
Even though they were in the same crew, Duan Xian had very few scenes with the other characters, so there was not much interaction usually.
Moreover, aside from a few veteran actors, many in the crew were either celebrity kids or schoolmates, who had long been familiar and formed their own circles.
Only Duan Xian, who seemingly joined the profession halfway, appeared out of place.
Of course, they looked down on Duan Xian not only because he was inexperienced.
It was also because he got the role of the second male lead without even having an audition, which naturally upset the other male actors.
What's more... he's even more handsome than me!
However, one of the invited actresses had been chatting quite well with Duan Xian recently and proactively asked.
"Xiao Xian, are you going too?"
Duan Xian glanced at everyone and couldn't help but recall what Meng Lang said today...
"Haha! I won't go, I still have a class tonight."
"A class?"
"Yeah, I recently signed up for a vocal training course."
"Vocal training?"
"Yes, after all, I can't compare with you seniors. I'm not from a professional background, and I still have a lot to learn if I want to catch up with you all.
Apart from the vocal class, I have dance training tomorrow, and I also hired a teacher on weekends to teach me acting.
If possible, I would like to further my studies at an academy in the future..."
Duan Xian touched his head, smiling humbly.
Everyone: "..."
"Ahem! Xiao Xian, it's rare for the whole crew to gather today, if you don't join, you'll seem a bit antisocial."
"Yes, it's a rare opportunity, let's all go."
"But my class..."
"Classes can always be rescheduled, just take a leave."
"Exactly, are you refusing our kindness if you don't go?"
"This..."
"Come on, brother, don't refuse! Let's go, I'll introduce you to some beautiful ladies later!"
Duan Xian: "..."
Sure enough, people who seem antisocial are not really so.
They only use their own methods to find happiness...
...
While Duan Xian was working hard to integrate into a new industry circle, Meng Lang at home began to ponder how to solve the funding issue.
He was like someone possessing a treasure mountain but unable to enter.
Solving this problem was an urgent priority!
[1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa]
This mysterious string of characters, written in the Lin family's household registry, seemed like a complex cryptographic problem.
In reality... it was indeed a random address generated through highly complex cryptography.
Moreover, you only need to simply copy and paste it into a search engine, and it will point you to the secret answer...
This address, completely public on the internet, is named by insiders with the utmost respect as— "Genesis of Bitcoin"!
Which is the so-called...
"Bitcoin Genesis Address"!
Yes, that's right, this string of characters is the world's first Bitcoin wallet address...
Surprised? Delighted?
The moment was frozen at 2:15:05 AM on January 4, 2009, when the internet legend known as "Satoshi Nakamoto" completed mining the first block of Bitcoin, totaling 50 Bitcoins.
Since then, a fervent legend carrying the motif of blockchain began to surface, stirring waves on both the global technology and financial stages.
For ten years, this almost household name address has been revered by countless geeks, worshipped by countless investors, and the blockchain technology it represents has created numerous wealth myths.
Even Meng Lang's initial startup capital was snatched during a Bitcoin opportunity.
From a certain perspective, it even changed the current world development pattern...
Meng Lang was just lucky enough to rely on picking up Brother Biao's fishing rod, tearfully earning 59 million US Dollars, and often marveled at the impermanence of life.
However, compared to the predecessor "Lin Haitang", he was indeed just playing small games.
They managed to even harvest the roots of people's investments...
According to public data, the number of Bitcoins in this address is at least over a million.
Even at the relatively low Bitcoin price now, that's nearly 6 billion US Dollars of astonishing wealth.
Moreover, Meng Lang, who has a clear view of Bitcoin's price trend chart, knows that if he waits another two years for the price to peak before selling.
Then the paper wealth of this account could reach an astronomical high of over 60 billion US Dollars!
What kind of concept is 60 billion US Dollars? The total market value of Wanwu Holding right now doesn't even make up a fraction of that.
Converted to RMB, that's 360 billion!
You should know that the current richest man in the country, Brother Xiao Ma, only has a personal wealth of about 300 billion.
This astounding fortune is enough for any ordinary person to skip the whole process of starting from scratch, from A to B to C to D rounds, and become a BAT-level giant from a unicorn in the industry.
And then surpass Brother Xiao Ma in wealth instantly... directly becoming the richest in the country!
Obviously, it's a "Genesis Address" that didn't come into existence until 2009, yet it was written in the household register by a little girl around the year 2000.
This is an obvious hint…
When Meng Lang realized what this string of characters represented, he almost applauded the "predecessor."
If you could go back in time, what's the best shortcut to wealth?
A few years ago, someone might have told you about real estate, about unicorns, about certain speculative stocks…
But in these past two years, as long as your home is connected to the internet, this person would without hesitation tell you... it's investing in Bitcoin!
From 1,000 Bitcoins being only enough to buy a burger, to last year's peak when 1 Bitcoin was 20,000 US Dollars, in less than ten years, the price of this virtual currency surged by 10 million times.
Converted to annualized return rate, it exceeds 100 million times, surpassing the odds of winning the lottery!
What investment could have such terrifyingly high profits?
What speculative stock dares to call itself "speculative" in its presence?
No matter what method of getting rich, compared to this speed of wealth growth, it pales in comparison.
Standing in "Lin Haitang's" position back then, if you wanted to cross the river of time and leave a rich "inheritance" for your "amnesiac" self, what better choice is there than this?
Safe, hidden, anonymous transactions, and... no inheritance tax.
Truly put effort into it!
This thing, if misused, it's just a huge fortune; if used well, it can even become a financial nuclear bomb!
Meng Lang didn't know if there was any direct connection between "Lin Haitang" and the birth of Bitcoin.
Could that mysterious "Satoshi Nakamoto" be a pawn she placed in advance...
After all, no matter how you look at it, blockchain technology is still a very forward-thinking concept now, let alone ten years ago, it's genuinely future black technology!
He, a Chinese major, could transform into a coder to develop future AI, so why couldn't someone use blockchain to become rich overnight?
Either "Lin Haitang" used future technology to mastermind the birth of Bitcoin.
Or she got some intelligence about this account from some future source...
No matter what, this wealth of incredible value was undeniably laid out right in front of him at this moment.
He just needs to obtain the corresponding secret key, and the door to this treasure trove of wealth will be opened to him.
Vast wealth is within reach, and he's just one step away!
The crux of the problem is... where's the secret key?
"Sigh~" Meng Lang sighed helplessly.
This is like a newlywed wife handing you her salary card with a virtuous smile and then saying, "Guess the password"...
Although secrets and keys are safer when stored separately, at least give some hint...
"Since 'the self' could figure it out, there's no reason 'the ego' can't.
Since Lin Haitang left a hint, then the clue to the secret key must still be on her...
Hmm... is there a place that's both hidden and can be seen by me at the right time?
According to her style of doing things, the address was only given to me after we got the certificate, so how far must it progress for the secret key...
Emm..."
...
As evening lights lit up, at First-class Residence.
"Ding~" The elevator doors opened, and Lin Haitang, dressed in professional attire, stepped out of the elevator.
She took off her black-framed glasses and rubbed her temples a bit tiredly.
Having worked all day, she was just about to open the door to room 1102 to have a good bath and rest when, next moment…
"Snap!" Her arm was suddenly grabbed from behind!
Lin Haitang was startled, thinking she encountered some villain, and before she could react...
"Ah~"
A short scream echoed, followed by the "bang!" of a door closing, and suddenly, she found herself pinned against the door of room 1103.
Seeing who it was, Lin Haitang's heart calmed a little, yet a hint of panic flashed through her eyes.
"You... what do you want?"
"I need to talk to you about something."
"Wha... what can't wait? I... I haven't even had dinner yet..."
Lin Haitang felt like the eyes across from her were scanning her up and down like X-rays, making her face a bit hot and her heart race.
"Of course, it's something urgent and very important. On the small scale, it involves billions of funds, and on the large scale, it's about the future survival of humanity!"
Even though she was a bit nervous, Lin Haitang couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this.
"Here we go again, can you be serious for once, and not start with grand narratives?"
"What grand narrative, I'm super serious."
"What exactly is it?"
"Come, come with me to the bedroom first."
"Wai... wait! Why the bedroom?"
"Ahem! Well... don't misunderstand, I won't do anything, I just want to take a look."
Lin Haitang: "..."
