Chapter 828 Chapter 829 Hearing about Bitcoin for the First Time

On Friday afternoon, Chen Fan didn't bother to go to the company, and sat in his office to deal with the documents that had piled up for a week.

I read these materials by email when I was at home, and now I just perform the final signature, and the procedure is considered complete.

In fact, this is just a cutscene. The boss has already agreed to the matter. Adding a signature is to complete a procedure and facilitate filing.

After Chen Fan signed the stack of documents, he called the secretary to take everything away.

When the capable female secretary gathered up the documents, hugged her hands and walked out, with a slender back and light steps, and the ponytail tied with long hair swaying, Chen Fan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable all over.

He took out his mobile phone, found Lin Qingyu's number and dialed it.

After Chen Fan dealt with the matter at hand, he was free now, with nothing to do.

After thinking about it, he got up and went out, but instead of going home, he went to Zheng Xiaopang's office next door.

It was already almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Xiaopang should not be in the trading room anymore.

Without knocking on the door, Chen Fan directly opened the door and went in. Sure enough, Zheng Xiaopang was sitting behind the desk looking at the computer. Although his back was facing and he couldn't see what was on the computer screen, it didn't matter, just walked over and looked at it.

The sound of the door opening naturally alarmed Zheng Xiaopang. He turned his head and saw that it was Chen Fan coming over. Zheng Xiaopang said cheerfully, "I came to the company today. Aren't you absent from work for a long time? This month's salary I have already deducted the money from you."

"We don't expect that little money to eat, you can deduct it if you like."

Chen Fan didn't care about Zheng Xiaopang's words, walked to the desk and sat down on the opposite chair, "What are you looking at?"

"Pay attention to the international economic situation and look for projects that make quick money."

Zheng Xiaopang didn't raise his head, his eyes were fixed on the computer screen, and he said casually.

"Did you find anything?"

Chen Fan's eyes widened slightly, but then he leaned back on the chair back.

"I originally wanted to short the rice yuan, but I found that many countries seem to have over-issued currency, and now I don't know what to short."

Zheng Xiaopang replied, "I want to speculate in gold or bulk stocks, but the graphics of those varieties are not very good. It should not be the time yet."

"From the national level, over-issuing currency is a matter of keeping accounts. Anyway, few countries in the world have no debts. Everyone has too many debts and no worries. Lowering the currency value can stimulate the export market, but it is just a tragedy. The thing is that other countries are not stupid, as long as one country does this, everyone will scramble to do it, and in the end the market will not change, and the little money in the hands of ordinary people will be worthless.”

Chen Fan shook his head and said.

"Yeah, in order to stimulate economic development, it is not new to choose the method of over-issuing currency to lower the value of the currency."

Zheng Xiaopang nodded, but then turned to Chen Fan and said, "If we can restrict the issuance of currency, I wonder if it will be better for the economy."

"Is the currency maintained at the current level? It will be deflationary. The currency will be issued. According to the teacher, it will be issued according to the economic development. If the output value increases by [-]%, the currency will be issued accordingly, and the price will not be affected. But this is only an ideal situation. You can do that in a closed country."

Chen Fan shook his head, "Stop talking about it, it doesn't make any sense at all, and it's not something we should care about."

"What are you doing here?"

Zheng Xiaopang also smiled, and then asked.

"Isn't today Friday? I feel that Enron's stock price may be more exciting today and in the next few days. Come and ask if you will come tonight?"

Chen Fan laughed.

"Forget it, isn't it just falling?"

Zheng Xiaopang curled his lips, "I've been watching Enron's trend during the day, and it's fallen a little bit in the past two days, and it's probably going to last for a while, so I won't go, it's not interesting."

After speaking, he continued to look back at the computer screen, as if there was something on it that attracted him.

"That's fine."

Hearing that Zheng Xiaopang said no, Chen Fan didn't say anything, it didn't matter.

But having said that, Chen Fan was still a little curious about what this kid was so fascinated by watching. He was not polite and shook the computer screen directly, but the display of the picture tube was still a bit heavy. I don't know, so I plan to move on.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

At this time, Zheng Xiaopang spoke hastily, reaching out his hand to stop Chen Fan's movements.

"Let me see what you are so fascinated by watching, a small movie?"

In fact, Chen Fan could already see a little bit of the screen at this time, and knew that it seemed to be a news website, not a small movie, but he still said so.

"Hey, it's interesting to watch, so you come to make trouble."

Zheng Xiaopang said angrily.

"What's so interesting, let me take a look too, and invest in it if I'm happy."

Chen Fan said with a smile.

"There is a man named Satoshi Zeng Ben, whose name looks like an islander. He posted a paper "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" on a computer forum. I find it very interesting."

Zheng Xiaopang said, "But I guess you don't understand.

"E-cash? Peer-to-peer?"

Chen Fan murmured a few words, and then asked: "It's the way of paying online. Now our online company also has a similar payment method. It's just buying a card, which means transferring money to our account. According to When transferring to an account, we recognize that the money was transferred from that account, and send the point card or item to the corresponding account.

It’s just that we still use the bank system to transfer money. If nothing unexpected, he should turn deposits into data. For example, we buy diamond coins for special props in our game, and transfer diamond coins directly between players. transaction. "

After Chen Fan finished speaking, he looked straight at Zheng Xiaopang. He just said these words literally, and he didn't know if it was right, but he felt that it should be more or less the same.

"almost."

Zheng Xiaopang frowned and thought about it before nodding.

"The item he wants to change, or the item to exchange is that bitcoin? What is this? Is it a currency unit?"

Chen Fan continued to ask, and understood the latter part. Zheng Xiaopang also mentioned a term, Bitcoin, which he had never heard of before, so he naturally understood it as a currency unit or a name.

"The diamond coins in our game can only be circulated on our website, that is, if we allow them to trade, because the relevant data is in our computer system, we can distinguish the authenticity of the transaction.

The prop he designed is called Bitcoin, which is roughly composed of a string, which is equivalent to an anti-counterfeiting mark, with an encrypted design inside, so that it can be transferred in all places with electronic systems, without being affected by the transaction environment.

It’s as if our diamond coins have added anti-counterfeiting functions to prevent players from swiping coins. Our company can receive diamond coins transferred from external sites. Of course, our company’s diamond coins can also be transferred to external sites. Acknowledgement. "

Zheng Xiaopang said, but he started scratching his head while talking.

"Is this equivalent to issuing currency privately? That thing is illegal, and such a paper can be published on the website openly?"

After hearing Zheng Xiaopang's words, Chen Fan immediately thought of the danger of this thing.

Think about it, the current currency value of the diamond coins on their website is 0.1 Chinese yuan equals to 1 diamond coin. Players can get 1 diamond coins for 1 yuan. If the use of diamond coins is really opened up, the result will be like ?
Chaofan Network Company seems to have transformed itself into a financial institution like a bank. Players’ money is exchanged for diamond coins without paying interest. What’s even more awesome is that he can issue his own currency—diamond coins. Let's be messy, can we also learn from the central bank and engage in super issuance?
But thinking of this, Chen Fan knew that this was impossible, because if these diamond coins could be circulated to and received by the outstations, then the premise was that the diamond coins could be exchanged for Huayuan, and the amount of exchange must be guaranteed.

In terms of difficulty, it is still a credit problem. As long as you have enough credit and can pay in time, it will not be too difficult for external sites to accept diamond coins. It's a scam.

Chen Fan shook his head, stopped thinking about it, it was too unreliable.

"The bitcoin designed by Satoshi Zengmoto is not the same concept as the money we use, it is not a legal currency, it is a prop in itself.

One is generated by the calculation of network nodes, and anyone can participate in the manufacture of bitcoins, which can be circulated all over the world and can be bought and sold on any computer connected to the Internet.

No matter where they are, anyone can create, buy, sell or receive Bitcoin, and outsiders cannot identify the user's identity information during the transaction. "

Zheng Xiaopang said lightly, "It is a digital currency, which is composed of a series of complex codes generated by a computer. It is manufactured through a preset program, and anyone can accept it. Of course, whether to accept this thing depends on personal preference. If you think it’s okay, you can accept it; if you think it’s meaningless, you can just ignore it.”

"An electronic toy, or a toy designed by Networms?"

Chen Fan asked.

"It can be understood that there is no mandatory legal currency, it is entirely up to you voluntarily, so this one is much better than the diamond currency you said we traded within our company, because the relationship between him and Hua Yuan or other countries' legal currencies Totally irrelevant."

Zheng Xiaopang continued to explain.

"If the quantity is small, maybe you can still play with it. After a long time, if you make more, it will be worthless. According to what you said, anyone can make it."

Chen Fan shook his head, completely lost interest in this thing, it was just a toy.

Those who like it may give a price, and those who don't like it will only think it is a prank.

"The most interesting thing is that his designer set an upper limit for this thing, which is 2100 million, and only so many can be produced. Once this number is reached, new bitcoins can no longer be created."

Zheng Xiaopang continued, his eyes fixed on Chen Fan, "If you are interested, let's get a few for collection, after all, there is a limit on the number."

"You just need to build a few computers. When the time comes, share it with me. I'll also collect this personally designed currency. Well, no, this can't be called currency, it's just a prop. After all, it has no face value or anything."

Chen Fan smiled lightly, he didn't care about this thing at all.

"I'm rich, but I'm too lazy to do it. Now there are quite a few enthusiasts who use their own computers to make this thing, and even sell it on the forum, but I haven't heard of anyone buying it, hahaha"

Zheng Xiaopang laughed out loud as he spoke.

"No one is a fool, it's just a prop. Even if someone accepts it, the stock price will be very cheap. After all, as long as you have a computer, you can make it. If you really want to, you can do it yourself. Why spend money to buy it."

Chen Fan smiled faintly, and glanced at Zheng Xiaopang who was laughing loudly at this moment.

"When did this thing come out?"

Seeing that Zheng Xiaopang seemed to have had enough laughs and had calmed down, Chen Fan asked again.

"At the beginning of the year, some people started to make this thing soon after that. They all thought it was fun. They could make bitcoins by themselves. I guess they wanted to feel the feeling of printing money, haha."

Having said this, Zheng Xiaopang laughed again.

"Really, I think most people who make bitcoins probably think so in their hearts. Labor and capital can't print money privately, so they can make things that you can't control. Maybe that thing itself should only have currency units, that is, Bit, 1 bit, 2 bits.

It is estimated that the group of people named him by themselves. In order to look tall, they directly turned it into Bitcoin, which sounds like money, to satisfy their little thoughts. "

Chen Fan was dumbfounded after thinking about it, and continued casually.

"I'm not sure about this, but it might be true."

Zheng Xiaopang laughed.

"Dinner together later?"

Chen Fan asked suddenly.

"No, I'm going back to the city today, my grandfather told me to go back."

Zheng Xiaopang shook his head and said.

"Ok."

Chen Fan had no choice but to ask Zheng Xiaopang and his wife to accompany him for dinner, but seeing that this posture has been booked, he can only eat alone, and then go to Oak Capital alone.

"You don't have a date this weekend?"

At this time, Zheng Xiaopang suddenly winked at Chen Fan, which meant very clearly, asking him about his weekend arrangements.

Chen Fan smiled and said nothing.

I made a phone call earlier, Lin Qingyu is going back to the capital tomorrow afternoon, Che Xiaoya can't come back, she's still filming on the set, it's still a TV series, so she's just getting familiar with the TV audience, for the promotion of their status now It's already meaningless.

Having said that, Chen Fan suddenly asked, "Do you have resources for international brands?"

Chen Fan himself had nothing to do with this. Lin Qingyu and the others had arranged for Zhang Jianjun to be their endorsement before. Now that he saw Zheng Xiaopang, he wanted to ask.

"Are you holding those two?"

Zheng Xiaopang asked casually, but he lowered his head and thought for a while before continuing: "Brand endorsement should be possible, but global endorsement is definitely out of the question. Most of my friends belong to compradors, that is, they are in charge of Huaguo District business, so it should be possible to appoint a brand endorsement, but if you want to go abroad for global endorsement, you basically don’t have that right.”

"Help me find a few brand endorsements first, and talk about the global ones later."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes and said.
