"Mom and Dad, look."
Xia Yu opened an APP on his phone and showed it to his parents.
"What's this?"
Old Xia asked with his eyes narrowed. He was a little presbyopic and couldn't see clearly. He could only see the big USD1208.07 under the date of April 11, 2017.
“Bitcoin!”
"Bitcoin? I think I've seen this on the news."
Lin Shuqin said thoughtfully.
This health enthusiast became a loyal fan of a health program after getting a smartphone, and occasionally read other news, so the term Bitcoin sounded familiar to her and seemed to be quite valuable.
"Mom and Dad, I won't hide it from you now. I actually became a first-generation wealthy person by trading cryptocurrencies!"
After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked into the eyes of the two of them.
Is it okay to do the reverse operation?
The argument he prepared was Bitcoin. This thing was worthless when it first came out, but now it costs more than 1,200 US dollars per piece, which is equivalent to more than 8,000 RMB, which is even more magical than stocks.
Using it as an excuse is more reliable than winning five million in the lottery, so he converted all the money in his account into Bitcoin a few days ago.
At that time, the price was less than $1,100 per coin, and it rose to $1,200 in just a short time. Therefore, he chose to continue increasing his holdings every day after signing in for salary. Until now, he has a total of 44.63 bitcoins in his account.
If all were sold at today's price, the profit would be at least 370,000 after deducting the handling fee. In just a few days, I would have made a profit of 20,000.
Of course this is not the point. The point is the attitude of parents.
Both of them were frightened by Xia Yu's words. They became rich by speculating in cryptocurrencies. When would their money become as cheap as white paper so that Da Fei could steal it?
"Xiaoyu, you don't have a fever, do you?"
Lin Shuqin asked with concern.
"Mom, why don't you believe me? Look at this. This is the farm I bought with cash a few months ago. I brought all those chickens, ducks, and vegetables directly back home."
Xia Yu directly took out the document bag containing the farm contract from his schoolbag and handed it to the two people. This was the most direct and most advantageous way to prove that he had a lot of assets.
The car purchase contract and watch invoice are not worth showing off. After all, in the eyes of the older generation, these are just wasted money. Houses and properties are real things.
"A two hundred-acre farm? How much did you spend on it, Xiaoyu?"
"About fifteen million!"
Xia Yu said in a calm tone.
He was also shocked when he carefully read the transfer contract, but after looking at the previous contracts together, he found that Wang Dalong had invested nearly 18 million yuan in the farm over the past 20 years, so the selling price was still discounted.
“Hiss~~”
The couple looked into each other's eyes and gasped.
Although I dare not disclose the information, a contract written in black and white cannot be forged, not to mention that there is a notarized document attached to it.
"Fifteen million! How could you buy just a farm? How many houses would that take up if we had more than that?"
Lin Shuqin said with great sorrow.
After Xia Yu's actions, the couple subconsciously believed that Xia Yu had made money by speculating in cryptocurrencies, but in the end, they still thought like ordinary people, and the only thing they would do with the money was to buy a house.
This cannot be said to be wrong. History has proven that buying a house is the best way for ordinary families to prevent their assets from depreciating, but Xia Yu has no choice. What the system gave him is a farm, not 15 million in cash.
"Our place is so shabby, no matter how expensive the house is, it's just that good. If we want to buy a house, we have to go to Shanghai!"
Xia Yu comforted his mother.
Fifteen million may seem like a lot, but in a better location in Shanghai, it only buys a large three-bedroom apartment. However, Xia Yu is not eligible to buy a house.
As early as 2011, Shanghai began to restrict house purchases. The conditions for buying a house without a local household registration are very harsh. If you don’t meet the conditions, you can’t buy one even if you have money. But there are other ways.
"Then why don't you buy it in the Magic City?"
Of course, those who have the ability will stay in big cities, but the housing prices in Shanghai are so high that Lin Shuqin dare not even think about it, so she does not understand the purchase restriction policy.
"There are purchase restrictions in Shanghai. Non-local residents have individual tax and social security requirements. I haven't even graduated yet, so I can't buy a house."
Xia Yu began to explain.
"But if I have an industry and a company in Shanghai, it's different. I can buy it in the name of the company!"
This is true, but unlike individuals who can apply for a mortgage, a company buying a house can only pay in one lump sum.
"That wouldn't cost fifteen million!"
After listening to her son's explanation, Lin Shuqin still felt it was expensive.
"Mom, it's really not expensive. Didn't I post it on WeChat Moments? That's where I took the photo!"
Xia Yu took out his cell phone and showed the photos of that day to his parents.
"Look at this water, these trees, these cows, these sheep, and these chickens and ducks. It's so nice. There's also a house on the farm. The previous owner renovated it really well. It's more comfortable to live in than our home."
After listening to Xia Yu's boasting, the couple looked at the photos and thought they were pretty good.
At that time, they simply thought that 15 million was expensive, but after seeing the entire farm in three dimensions through the photos, it seemed that the price was not too expensive?
This is not to say that the two are easy to fool. It is all because Xia Yu takes good photos, and his social buff came into play, which made the two accept these things.
“So can this farm make money?”
"able!"
Xia Yu answered firmly that it was not possible at this time.
"So how much money do you have left from trading cryptocurrencies?"
"Don't worry about this for now. It's enough for you to buy a house and find a wife in the future. I brought you gifts this time."
Seeing that his mother was asking more and more questions, Xia Yu quickly took over the conversation and took out the gifts he had prepared for the two of them.
"This is for Dad!"
Xia Yu placed the olive green watch box directly into Old Xia's hands.
"This, is it a Rolex?"
Old Xia said with some uncertainty.
Rolex is much more famous in China than any other famous watch brand, so Lao Xia recognizes the Rolex logo.
"Yes, your son bought it specially for you!"
Xia Yu said without blushing at all.
This was clearly a reward from the system, but he didn't wear it because he thought it was ugly. Now he gave this Datejust watch to Old Xia, making him sound like a filial son.
"This watch is too expensive. It doesn't fit me."
Old Xia put the watch box on the desk and waved his hand, refusing to accept it.
"What's inappropriate about it? It's just right for you, Dad."
Xia Yu took out the watch from the watch box, then grabbed Lao Xia's left hand and took off the old Citizen watch on his wrist and replaced it with a glittering golden Rolex.
This watch looks out of place on Xia Yu's hand, but now when it is worn on Old Xia's hand, it suddenly has the aura of a boss in his forties or fifties, as if possessed by Zhu Erri.
Sure enough, this model is undoubtedly for middle-aged people, and young people really can't hold it.
"this…"
Looking at the new watch on his hand, Lao Xia hesitated.
"Just wear it because your son is showing off to you, but don't go out and show it off!"
Lin Shuqin also advised at this time, but why did her tone sound a little sour?
