After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 451 - 211: The First Snowman of Winter. (Little 6k asking for subscriptions!)_3
But now?
It’s just a snowman, and it looks like it was haphazardly put together, with its eyes even being made out of bubble milk tea pearls.
Despite its crudeness, Yao Mingyue treated it with great care, as if the melting of a single snowflake would cause her half a day’s sorrow.
The look in her eyes and her actions, what’s the difference between her and a lovesick girl with a negative IQ who’s just started dating?
That’s how girls are, never hiding whether they’re in love or not.
...
Time flies.
The winter break is indeed approaching.
January arrives, and Xu Musen calculates this month’s revenue. He now has opened a total of eight milk tea shops, with delivery services expanding simultaneously.
Together with the recent anime collaboration, sales have been very pleasing, with marketing revenues already breaking one million.
But these successes are also because of the investments from Nuannuan’s family, which allowed him to push aggressively into the market without regard to cost.
So excluding costs, it’s good even if he can keep half of the profits.
Yet this is already a very good start.
Xu Musen looks at the seven-figure sum in his bank account and estimates it won’t be long before it’s invested again.
But this number is already something most ordinary people would never see in their lifetime.
In just six months, he’s satisfied with his progress; as the milk tea shops are open longer, the more he can spread the cost, and the higher the net profit will be.
And Xu Musen doesn’t plan on standing idle—in the next ten years, the internet landscape will continue to surge wave after wave.
One should scatter their eggs into multiple baskets.
The major ways to make money in rebirth.
Stocks, lotteries, gambling on sports, Bitcoin...
Stocks are something to consider; the broader trend is unlikely to be wrong, and certain tech stocks are worth investing in.
As for the lottery and sports betting, forget it. Xu Musen doesn’t have an interest in those, and if you win too much, they’ll just manipulate the system behind the scenes.
He now looks down on those small gains, the likes of mosquitoes and ants.
Then there comes Bitcoin and other virtual coins.
Around the year 2020, there was a global mining craze, and the market value of various virtual coins was so inflated they nearly became a global hard currency.
He remembers during that time, many college students couldn’t afford to buy a graphics card for gaming—just a lousy 20-series card could cost you over three thousand.
Although this trend didn’t last too long before collapsing, with the world’s largest virtual coin platform’s owner being arrested.
But it can’t be denied that those who cashed out early in those years definitely made a fortune.
As long as you’re not the last one holding the bag in a game of hot potato, you’ll be fine.
Of course, among all these virtual coins, Bitcoin has always been the most resilient.
At this point in time, the surge hasn’t started yet, and some guy in another country spent over ten thousand Bitcoins on two pizzas.
In a few years, the price of a single Bitcoin will be around fifty thousand US dollars.
That pizza is now known as the world’s most expensive, equating to selling two publicly traded companies.
But those things aren’t so easy to buy; Xu Musen created an account and took a look.
The current price of Bitcoin is only 0.5 US dollars per coin!
In less than ten years, its value has increased by five hundred thousand times!
What is called an economic miracle?
However, almost no one realizes the value of Bitcoin at the moment, so it’s mostly in the hands of small-time retail investors.
Xu Musen thought it over; honestly, the stakes involved are so high that he doesn’t truly trust others with it.
Doing it alone would be too exhausting. The internet is so vast with a huge transaction volume; it needs numerous accounts continually operating. After all, these coins are illegal, and any carelessness could lead to being banned.
We can’t keep all these things in one account.
Xu Musen remembered that Liu Rushuang’s company had a department that interfaced with foreign companies, which was definitely much better at handling the internet and user information than he could manage on his own here.
Moreover, this could be a huge fortune in the future, enough to allow Liu Rushuang and her daughter Yao Mingyue to retire directly and enjoy the latter half of their lives.
This was also a method Xu Musen could think of to repay them first.
No sooner said than done, Xu Musen made an appointment, and when they had dinner together at Liu Rushuang’s villa, he directly brought up the matter.
"Virtual Coin… I’ve heard of it, but it seems like it’s something like… Q Coin?" Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy
When Liu Rushuang heard about Xu Musen’s idea to start acquiring a large amount of Virtual Coin, she didn’t really understand it.
That was normal, after all, making money is all about exploiting information asymmetry.
If one percent of people in this world knew the value of Virtual Coin, it probably would have been swept up by now.
By the time everyone knows how to make money, you’ve become the leeks, and there’s a good chance you’re the last batch.
Although the internet has basically become widespread now, a lot of things are still inaccessible to the average netizen.
Perhaps for most people, the first encounter with Virtual Coin is something like Q Coin or Point Coupon.
But back in the day, Tencent was pretty fierce; Q Coin could be used to pay for phone bills, to purchase items, and they even planned to use Q Coin to pay their employees’ salaries, but in the end, it was clamped down by some mysterious force.
Otherwise, it seems like Q Coin might have developed into something significant.
"There’s a fundamental difference though. Virtual Coin is based on computing to solve cryptographic problems on the blockchain, earning a kind of reward. So theoretically, any type of Virtual Coin has a fixed number of coins, which means the price could stabilize, which is to say, retain value.
In the future, as the internet develops, many private transactions can be done through direct, decentralized trading with Virtual Coin—there’s a big market for it."
Xu Musen explained it simply, and Liu Rushuang could understand some of these professional terms.
These things were quite advanced, and she didn’t understand them right away, but she was very supportive of what Xu Musen wanted to do.
"If you want to do it, go for it. I’ll have my secretary coordinate with you later. We have a few computers and servers in the company as well as international dedicated optical cables that should meet your needs."
Liu Rushuang nodded with a smile.
"Okay, don’t worry, Mom, it won’t take a few years, and I’ll give you a surprise."
Xu Musen also nodded seriously, and Liu Rushuang smiled as she put a piece of spare rib on his plate.
"There’s no rush with making money, oh, and I heard from Ming Yue that you’ve already bought a car, planning to go back with Xiao Yue after the winter break?"
At the mention of this, Yao Mingyue couldn’t help but glance at Xu Musen, her little eyes holding a slightly threatening look.
"Yep, it’s a good chance to break in the car."
Xu Musen nodded, already taking for granted the plan for the two of them to drive back together.
"That’s good, but this will be your first time traveling such a long distance together. You must pay attention to safety on the road. Don’t force yourself if you can’t reach your destination in one day. You can also stop and stay overnight on the way, treat it like tourism. But you must pay attention to your safety when sleeping at night, and it would be best if you could stay together…"
As Liu Rushuang spoke, her gaze discreetly shifted back and forth between them.
Yao Mingyue’s cheeks turned a little red, instantly thinking of something particularly… that kind of thing.
Only then did she remember, yes, Huhai and Zheng City were so far apart that it would be tough to reach in a single day.
Wouldn’t the overnight stay be like a trip for the two of them together?
A look of excitement appeared in her eyes, along with some mischievous thoughts, hehe...
To the side, Xu Musen almost thought he could hear the sound of her salivating.
Liu Rushuang said with a chuckle, "I meant that your rooms should be next to each other, but actually, a double bed isn’t bad either. After all, you are siblings now, and Mom trusts Xiao Sen’s character."
While saying that, Liu Rushuang ruffled Xu Musen’s hair.
But honestly, I’m not sure I trust your precious little lady here.
It feels like this ex-future mother-in-law is ready to become official at any moment.
Xu Musen felt like he was walking into a den of wolves.

He didn’t argue though, after all, once they were on the road driving, they would be beyond their control.
But he had an intuition that the trip home would not be entirely peaceful...
