God of Money

Shock.

Surprise.

Pleasure.

Woosung could tell Wu Jirin's emotions clearly on his face. Then suddenly, Wu Jirin looked unconvinced. The offer seemed too good to be true.

Woosung quickly took out the contract he prepared in advance. On the contract was the salary he promised.

Woosung asked him, "Contracts are the foundation of any business relationship."

Wu Jirin read through the contract carefully with trembling hands. He was still shocked at the number of 1.5 million dollars, but he tried to look calm.

Woosung tried hard not to grin.

Wu Jirin said to him, "It's…perfect."

"I had it proofread by a lawyer. It can't be any better."

The head of the Economics Department looked at Wu Jirin.

Woosung asked the department head, "Sir, there will be a big need for great people in the near future in IT and economics. I believe that this university is the best place in China to find such people."

"O…of course."

"Wu Jirin here is now the representative of Bitchina and he will be responsible for hiring employees for this company. Please take good care of him."

Wu Jirin hasn't signed the contract yet, but Woosung shook his hand and said to him.

"I'm happy to be working with you."

Wu Jirin bowed respectfully.

Wu Jirin followed Woosung when he left the room.

"You are leaving after just giving me the contract?"

"Your salary will be directly deposited starting next month. There is an office ready, so you just have to start showing up there." Woosung shrugged his shoulders and continued. "I am paying you 1.5 million dollars, which means I shouldn't have to tell you how to do everything."

"Then tell me one thing."

Woosung nodded.

Wu Jirin asked, "Do you really believe Bitcoin will work? Do you think it will replace our corrupted currency system completely?"

Woosung laughed loudly. In his previous life, Wu Jirin was a cold businessman who caused so many people to lose their life savings, but even Wu Jirin was naïve and pure-hearted as a young man.

In 2017 in Woosung's past life, Wu Jirin encouraged many to invest in his cryptocurrency. At first, the value of it soared exponentially, but quickly, it plummeted to the bottom.

Woosung remembered the event clearly. He was working at Bitmain at the time, and it was a shocking incident.

Many believed this was Wu Jirin's plan all along. They believed he orchestrated the whole event for personal gain, but there was no proof.

Wu Jirin looked confused. He asked, "Is my question that strange?"

Woosung shook his head. "No. That wasn't why I laughed. I just thought…I felt like I was seeing myself in you when I was young and pure."

Wu Jirin still looked confused.

Woosung explained in a more refined tone. "I do believe it can replace the current system, and I think a lot of it will depend on you. You could be the one who decides how Bitcoin turns out." Woosung patted his shoulder and continued, "Work hard. Don't worry about money when you are hiring people. I suggest you start with Zhu Ketuan."

Zhu Ketuan.

He was the developer who actually created the mining system.

Wu Jirin was studying economics, which means he didn't know much about programming. If he and Zhu Ketuan worked together, there was no stopping them.

Yoo Sona's agency's CEO sat in a hotel room nervously.

"Why? Why aren't they calling for you? I told them clearly that you are willing to do anything."

Yoo Sona asked sharply, "Are you still wanting me to do 'that' even in China?"

They both knew what Yoo Sona was referring to.

The CEO replied, "You can't relax just because you are popular. This is how you maintain your status. You know Kim Soomin, right? Do you know what she is doing nowadays?"

Yoo Sona remained silent.

Kim Soomin.

She was one of the top actresses in Korea, but she wasn't seen nowadays. Yoo Sona understood what her boss was saying, but she still didn't want to do it.

"We already made enough money."

"Do you hear what you're saying? Just because you made a little bit of money, you really think that's enough? It's not even going to cover your mother's hospital bill."

Yoo Sona couldn't deny it, but she still said to him, "But I don't want to do it with a Chinese man. I won't even understand what he is saying."

"You do whatever you are asked to do. Just shut up. You think you're so big now?"

Yoo Sona remained silent.

He continued callously, "Don't forget who made you what you are now. You have a long way to go till you pay back your debt."

Yoo Sona tried hard not to frown. She looked at her phone. It was a promotional gift Blue S2 given to her for being a model for KND's TV commercial.

'I don't think he asked me to come for that.'

Her boss thought Woosung asked her to join him on this trip for an inappropriate reason, but Yoo Sona thought differently. Woosung didn't seem like the type who would ask her to do things like that.

On the way to his hotel, Woosung read the messages from Yoo Sona's boss and frowned unpleasantly.

"She is ready whenever you want her."

"It doesn't matter who."

"Let me know."

He remembered Yoo Sona's story. He became angry. He hated seeing her being treated like an object. He remembered her tears that day.

"Maybe I should get into the entertainment business."

Woosung knew the future. He knew which celebrities would be popular. He also knew which TV shows and reality shows will become successful.

Woosung knew he could make a lot of money in this industry.

Tencent headquarter.

On top of the building was CEO Ma Huateng's office. He looked at the phone Blue S2 on his desk and asked.

"So Coconut Talk service will be pre-installed on this phone?"

"Yes, and that is how the number of users will increase fast."

"And how is our project going?"

"We got to the point where emoticons can be used."

Ma Huateng asked seriously, "Should we give up on HH and start developing a brand new messenger?"

"This is the era of smartphones, which means we need an appropriate messenger for it. Trying to fit HH to it may not work."

Ma Huateng sighed. It seemed like giving up on HH was the only solution.

His assistant continued, "The problem is WhoChat's speed can't compete against Korea's Coconut."

"But that's because Korean internet service is faster."

His assistant replied carefully, "The thing is…Coconut Talk in Blue S2 is still faster than WhoChat even in China. It is up to 10 times faster."

"How?"

"Our development team needs to know KND's server configuration in order to figure it out. So far, what we did is we placed a spy in his Chinese company LetChat as a developer."

"We can't lose this. We can't lose Chinese customers. Don't forget that."

His assistant nodded gravely.
