Chapter 189: The World's Number One Cryptocurrency Mine

With the backing of the Cube Group, Afu and Qiangzi strutted into the Huaqiangbei market, their steps almost floating.

Especially when the accompanying finance girl paid in cash for every purchase, the eyes of the small bosses selling mining machines nearby were glued to them.

These weren't small orders of tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, but super-large orders worth tens of millions!

Such exaggerated financial strength had never been seen, even during the years of the nationwide cryptocurrency craze.

So, these small bosses put their heads together, pulled out their inventory and savings, and ran over to cozy up to Afu and his companion.

In less than half a day, all the existing Antminer S21 air-cooled machines in Huaqiangbei were swept away by the Cube Group, with a cumulative purchase of over 300,000 cryptocurrency mining machines, totaling nearly 4 billion yuan in cash.

Because they swept up so much stock at once, the entire Huaqiangbei market was shaken!

Although the Huaqiangbei market is international, and every stall owner is a wealthy and influential boss, handling countless orders every day,

Few dared to invest 4 billion yuan in cash in a cryptocurrency mine like the Cube Group, boosting computing power and trying to stir up a storm in the global cryptocurrency market.

As a result, Bitmain, the manufacturer of the Antminer S21 series mining machines, was alarmed and sent its domestic sales vice president to connect with Afu and others.

After Afu consulted with Chen Jue, the behind-the-scenes boss, Chen Jue, who had just sold the wood and had a large amount of funds in hand, acted as if he had OCD and added a long-term order contract worth 6 billion yuan to Bitmain, rounding it up to a neat 10 billion.

The content of the contract was simple: for the next six months, Bitmain's factory would operate at full capacity to provide the Cube Group with over 100,000 of the latest Antminer S series mining machines each month, until the 6 billion yuan procurement fund was exhausted.

To this end, Chen Jue also specially vacated a floor in the Cube factory to build a mine, arranging for Afu and other hardware engineers to network and test the first 300,000 mining machines.

Of course, Chen Jue's extravagant operation of clearing the way with money made the computing power of the 5th-floor workshop of the Cube factory reach an incredible 90,000 PH, making it the world's number one cryptocurrency mine in terms of computing power.

In the famous cryptocurrency circle, the cryptocurrency wallet with the code MF caused a very large reaction.

As for the Xichuan Mine, which was once the second-largest in the world in China, although it had over 210,000 mining machines networked as early as 2018, after nearly years of hardware iteration and the restrictions on cryptocurrency mining in China, it had long been left far behind in terms of computing power.

In addition, Chen Jue did not risk the world's disapproval to engage in illegal commercial activities.

Instead, after networking 300,000 new mining machines, he used the MC [Diamond Pickaxe] to completely mine and dig out the entire MF mine and put it into his backpack and boxes.

After waiting for the US-Japan submarine cable to be cut and rerouted, Chen Jue conveniently took the [Transport Minecart] to transfer all the equipment to the bottom of the western Pacific Ocean to the stolen network base.

"Mining is illegal?"

"That only counts if you mine in China!"

"I've run to the Pacific Ocean, surely they can't control me here, right?" Chen Jue grinned.

Looking at the several iron-headed guys who had activated the [Computer Engineer] profession skin, busy taking out the mining machine equipment, setting it up, and connecting it to the network.

He took out the set of water turbine generators that he had previously modified to use with 'Infinite Water' from his [Backpack], as well as a set of strong and weak current transformer equipment that he had prepared in advance, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets.

After spending nearly 20 hours, he finally solved the hardware assembly and the most troublesome power supply problem for the cryptocurrency mine.

When Chen Jue pushed up the main switch, the monitoring program started running on the central control screen, and the fans of the 300,000 Antminer S21 mining machines began to hum.

This MF cryptocurrency mine, hidden deep in the sea, finally entered into formal operation.

Watching the BTC balance in his cryptocurrency account on OKX increase at a rate of 2.5 per hour, the smile on Chen Jue's face grew even wider.

"The combined computing power of 300,000 machines can mine about 60 Bitcoins a day."

"The current price of Bitcoin has fluctuated around $65,000/coin for the past month. That means I can lie down and earn $3.9 million a day just by selling Bitcoin." Chen Jue took out his mobile phone calculator and pressed it, with an excited expression on his face.

You know, the network used by the MF mine was stolen from the little devils.

The electricity cost, which was originally the biggest expense of mining, has been reduced to almost 0 yuan per kilowatt-hour under the MC modified generator.

In this way, it will only take 150 days for these mining machines to operate stably to earn back the initial hardware investment cost!

The benefits generated every day after that are pure profit!

What's even more exaggerated is that the price of Bitcoin is not fixed, and the price has been on an upward trend for nearly a year.

"No wonder so many people in China went bankrupt trying to invest in mining before, the speed of making money is too terrifying!" Chen Jue clicked his tongue twice as he looked at the calculation results.

However, he was not in a hurry to cash out and sell the produced Bitcoins, but planned to hoard a wave and then play some market-smashing operations.

Because whether it is OKX or Binance, these trading platforms have short-selling and long-buying options contract trading, and the leverage can easily reach 100 times.

Once he has accumulated enough Bitcoins, the scene of a crash-style sale in a very short period of time feels exciting just thinking about it.

"Selling in bits and pieces is not as fun as being a dealer! If Bitcoin is properly controlled, it might even produce some linkage effects with soybean futures." Chen Jue secretly analyzed in his heart, looking at the constantly increasing BTC balance on his account, a look of expectation appeared in his eyes.

… …

After settling the MF mining base at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, Chen Jue took the [Minecart] back to the Cube factory in Ruian to rest.

After working hard all day, his bones were almost falling apart.

Fortunately, there was the instant sleep service provided by the [Bed], and when Chen Jue woke up the next morning, he felt refreshed.

Opening the electronically controlled dimming glass of the president's office, the morning sun shone in.

Walking to the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, on the sparkling sea, Jingwei 01 was cleaning the seabed in the Feiyun River estuary area 24 hours a day.

To build a deep-water port terminal, the first thing to do is to clear the waterway that can carry large tonnage ships.

Ruian has been unable to build a deep-water port before, and shipping is not developed. In addition to its own geographical conditions being too remote and unfavorable for logistics and transportation,

The accumulation of silt and dense reefs near the estuary are also one of the main reasons restricting the development of shipping.

"It's going to take too long to clean up such a large estuary with a single ship." Chen Jue muttered when he saw this.

This kind of behavior of transforming landforms with the help of heavy machinery is almost unimaginable for small enterprises.

Only a pragmatic entrepreneur like him, who lies down and counts money every day and has a high-level pursuit of taste, can make such a big determination.

Of course, Chen Jue did not send iron golems underwater to knock off those reefs with the MC [Iron Pickaxe], but also wanted to show the infrastructure capabilities of the Jingwei and Yugong series to the outside world and thoroughly launch the Cube Group's brand effect in mechanical engineering.

Because after the groundbreaking ceremony was held yesterday, many local Wenzhou anchors appeared on the nearby tidal flats.

Including the Cube Group also set up a 24-hour live broadcast room, broadcasting the construction of the 'Ruian Small Commodity Terminal' in full.

… …

After observing the construction progress of the terminal in the office, Chen Jue went down to the workshop in the Cube factory for a round of inspection.

In addition to the Cube robotic arms supplied to Qingshan Holdings being produced and debugged at an accelerated pace, the 1st-floor shipyard workshop was also working overtime at high intensity.

It can be seen that the original small dock, which was only a few tens of meters wide, has been widened into a large dock specification of nearly 150 × 200 meters after a period of transformation.

In addition to Jingwei 02, which is under intensive construction, there are also 6 yachts ordered by the second-generation rich circle in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai docked in the dock.

After Zheng Bocheng's vigorous promotion, the Cube Group has received a total of 52 yacht orders from all over the country, and the delivery date has been scheduled for 3 years later.

If it weren't for the fact that the Cube factory had just been built not long ago, and there was a shortage of manpower, Chen Jue even wanted to expand the entire factory building several times and open several new docks to start construction at the same time.

"If I want to free up the iron golems, it seems that I still have to spin off a part of the shipbuilding industry in the future."

"No matter how automated it is, it can't replace the role of manual labor." Chen Jue pondered for a moment, planning to plan a new shipyard in the near future to increase local employment in Ruian.

While thinking, his phone rang. He answered the phone and heard that it was his buddy Zheng Bocheng calling: "Chen Jue, have you had breakfast? I have a few brothers here who have ordered yachts and want to meet you."

"Didn't you always say you wanted to get a private plane for travel? They have connections!"

Chen Jue immediately became interested when he heard this: "Okay! Let's meet at the old place, at the entrance of Zhu Ji's glutinous rice cake shop! Let those brothers treat us."

Zheng Bocheng: "… …"
