Chapter 62 Bitcoin
Affected by this, a fund that Morris was responsible for directly exploded, investors lost all their money, and his foundation almost went bankrupt.Morris, the fund manager, was pushed out by the company and became a scapegoat and punching bag.For this reason, Morris endured a year in prison and almost lost all his savings from working for many years.His wife, whom he had been married to for many years, divorced him at this time and took their children away with him. Since then, he has completely lost contact with him.In this way, Morris went from being a Wall Street investment genius and a winner in life to a loser and a prisoner.

A year later, Morris was released from prison. Since he didn't have much savings, he wanted to find a financial-related job to support his family, but he ran into obstacles everywhere.Wall Street is still Wall Street, but Morris is no longer the investment genius Morris he once was.Who would dare to hire a fund manager whose investment failed and almost caused the company to go bankrupt?

After applying for jobs many times to no avail, and seeing his savings dwindling and his life becoming unsustainable, Morris had no choice but to leave the sad place of Wall Street and go to the other side of the ocean, England, to seek life.Relying on his Ivy League diploma and outstanding ability, Morris quickly found a job in a small investment bank in London, where he still worked as a fund manager.

Morris' job became stable again. Although he didn't earn as much as before, it was more than enough to support himself.Morris thought his life was already hard enough, but misfortune struck again. A year later, the European debt crisis broke out.With the lessons learned from the previous time, Morris's investment philosophy has become much more conservative. Although many of the funds he was responsible for suffered small losses due to the impact of the financial crisis, they were not harmful.However, the investment bank he worked for failed to withstand the economic crisis. After holding on for three months, it declared bankruptcy and Morris lost his job again.

At this time, the debt crisis in Europe has fully erupted. All financial-related companies are trembling, and countless bankruptcies have occurred. Even the top investment banks, which are not worried about bankruptcy, are laying off a large number of employees to reduce expenses.It was simply impossible for Morris to find a finance-related job at this time.

After many failed attempts, Morris had to move his position again and open up a new map.He heard that the mysterious ancient Eastern country of China had been little affected by the economic crisis sweeping the world, and its economy had been developing well.So Morris took a plane and came to Hong Kong, the "Pearl of the Orient", hoping to find a new job here and start a new life.

However, since the return of the motherland, "foreign adults" have found it difficult to live in Hong Kong.What's more, there are serious stains on Morris's work resume. It is very difficult to find a professional job.After three months of wasting time in Hong Kong, Morris's savings were completely depleted and he was sleeping on the streets.It was only then that Morris remembered that he still had a sum of Bitcoins that could be exchanged for money.

He bought these 100 Bitcoins from a young client six months ago for only $[-].With Morris' excellent investment vision, he smelled the smell of money in the generation mechanism of Bitcoin.He believes that sooner or later, these Bitcoins will be worth a fortune.It's just that water from afar can't quench his thirst. If he doesn't sell his Bitcoins for some money, he will be hungry today. This is how Morris sells Bitcoins in public.

As Morris finished explaining, the passers-by who had gathered in a circle to watch the excitement dispersed, eating when it was time to eat, and shopping when it was time to go shopping. No one was interested in the ethereal Bitcoin.

"It's boring, let's go!"

"I just saw so many people gathered around. I thought it was a ghost guy doing a street performance. Who knew I bumped into a liar."

"He didn't say he was selling Bitcoin. If he sells goods for money, he can't be considered a liar."

"This ghost guy himself said that Bitcoin is a virtual currency. If you don't understand virtual currency, it is fake, empty, and non-existent. Taking something that does not exist and selling it to you is nothing but a liar."

"To say that these ghosts are pitiful, 20 years ago, these people were all superior foreigners. Now that they have been back for more than ten years, these ghosts can only make a living by cheating."

Although Morris couldn't quite understand the Cantonese spoken by these passers-by, he knew from their disdainful eyes that they had nothing good to say.More importantly, his Bitcoin has not been sold. Is he really going to sleep on the street tonight, or even have to rely on begging for a living in the future, or find an ordinary job and work hard to make a living?

Just when Morris was helpless and at a loss, Jorida walked up to him, stretched out her hand and said, "Let me meet you. My name is Jorida, what do you call me?" Seeing a slender palm appear in front of him, Morris finally came to his senses.He quickly stretched out his right hand and wanted to shake hands with Qiao Reda, but found that his right hand was a little dirty. He had to retract his hand in embarrassment and rub it hard on the wrinkled suit. Then he stretched out his hand again and shook Qiao Reda's hand. together.

"Maurice Hiddink, just call me Maurice. Mr. Qiao, are you interested in the Bitcoin I just talked about?"

"I am indeed interested in digital currencies like Bitcoin. If the price is right, I don't mind buying it. But this is not the place to talk. Let's talk in another place."

"Of course, no problem." After finally knocking off a scammer who was interested in Bitcoin, Morris didn't want to let go of this rare opportunity, so he readily agreed.

"Alright then, let's go."

Qiao Ruida took Morris to a nearby tea restaurant and opened a small box.The waiter brought a pot of black tea and several plates of snacks, then bowed and left.

Jorida had just had dinner and was not very interested in the food.Morris, however, had not eaten all day, and now he didn't care about his face and started eating.

"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough!" Perhaps because he ate too quickly, Morris choked on the crumbs of the snack and coughed violently.

"Don't be anxious, eat slowly. If it's not enough, you can ask the waiter to bring more plates." Qiao Ruida quickly poured a cup of black tea and handed it to Morris.

Morris didn't care whether the tea was hot or not, he quickly drank two sips and then suppressed his cough.

"I made Mr. Qiao laugh. To be honest, I haven't eaten rice or water for a whole day. Now that I see food, I can't help it and eat a little more urgently."

"It doesn't matter. The clothes Mr. Morris wears are all international famous brands. I think he used to be a man of modest means. How could he end up in such a state?"

"This is a long story. I spent my college years at the University of Pennsylvania. After graduation..."
