Peninsula's Life Begins in 2016

Chapter 85 Lin Xiaolu's mentality collapsed

Jiang Yan subconsciously pressed the lock button and turned his head to look. There was a strange woman standing outside the car window.

He had short, neat hair, wore a black jacket, and had a cold, indifferent expression.

Jiang Yan looked at her warily, instinctively wanting to roll up the window, but the other person pointed first to the black van parked not far away.

"This is from Yoona unnie, she asked me to give it to you."

Jiang Yan glanced in the direction she was pointing. He recognized the van and the license plate; it was the one that had picked up Lin Yun'er and the other two after their barbecue that night.

He took the file bag with some skepticism, muttering to himself, "Is she really that secretive when delivering things?"

The other party was clearly not expected to use the phrase "hiding one's head and revealing one's tail" to describe their artist. Their expression instantly faltered, and their lips twitched several times before they managed to stammer, "Yoona unnie said it's safer this way."

"Okay, thank her for me, and thank you too." Jiang Yan placed the file bag on the passenger seat, then started the engine and drove away.

After driving for a while, Lin Xiaolu asked curiously, "Aren't you going to take a look at what's inside?"

"I'll check it when I get home. What if it's something shady? It's too dangerous to open it on the street."

"Tch, what shady stuff could she possibly give you..."

Jiang Yan shrugged and remained silent.

After returning home, Jiang Yan placed the file bag on the table, went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, and then sat down to open the seal.

Inside were several sheets of A4 paper, with a black bank card on top and a light purple sticky note with Yoona's neat handwriting on it.

[Kang Yeon, there are 200 billion won in this card...]

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yan spat out the water he had just drunk. He quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe the water stains on the table, then picked up the bank card, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Two hundred billion Korean won, which is equivalent to more than one hundred million RMB.

This isn't two hundred won, it's not two million won, it's two hundred billion.

Is this woman crazy? Isn't she afraid I'll just take the money and disappear?

Jiang Yan shook his head, gave a dry smile, and then looked at the sticky note again.

[This is all the liquid funds I can access, having mortgaged all my properties and stocks. The money in this card has been authorized at the highest level of two-way transfer, meaning it can only be transferred between this card and the five overseas exchange accounts I've designated beforehand. It can't be transferred anywhere else. You don't need to worry about security, and neither do I.]

Actually, I hesitated for a long time about whether to give these things to you. After all, we've only known each other for a few days. Logically speaking, a normal person wouldn't entrust so much money to someone they've known for less than two weeks.

But Jiang Yan, I'm not normal, and neither are you. We both fell from another timeline. We've both seen what this world would become without anyone interfering.

Therefore, we understand better than others that if we don't do some things now, we'll never have the chance to do them again.

I wouldn't dare handle such a large undertaking alone, for fear of backlash, but you can. You can break the rules, and that's the fundamental reason I'm entrusting these things to you.

Also, I hope you remember the profit-sharing we discussed earlier. It's fair. Without you, this information is just a bunch of useless words. Without me, you wouldn't have enough money to run such a large operation.

[P.S.: Don't feel guilty. This timeline is like an open-book exam for me. Keeping this money here would just be putting it in the bank and earning interest, so I'd rather you manage it.]

[Also: I bet your expression is hilarious right now.]

Jiang Yan's lips twitched as he finished reading the last line.

funny?

He now wanted to drag this Noona out of the film set and ask her who gave her the audacity to put 20 billion won in a document bag and have a staff member hand it over casually like a fried chicken delivery.

Jiang Yan slapped the sticky note on the table, rubbed his temples, and then looked down at the few sheets of A4 paper.

The opening title is: "A Customized Operational Plan for Bitcoin Investment"

Jiang Yan flipped through the pages one by one, his eyes widening with each page he read.

The entire strategy is written in great detail, spanning from April 2016 to May 2026, a period of ten years and one month.

Every time point, every exchange chosen, the ratio of buying to selling each time, and all transactions are required to be conducted using anonymous accounts and overseas IP addresses, leaving no trace. This is exactly the kind of professional institutional investment plan.

In the first phase, starting in April 2016, 22,000 Bitcoins were accumulated and purchased evenly over six months, with each purchase not exceeding 0.5% of the daily trading volume. After purchase, the Bitcoins were immediately transferred to a cold wallet.

In the second phase, from October 2017 to January 2018, targeting the historical peak of the premium for Korean kimchi at 36% to 54.5%, 10 kimchi were sold in three batches, with an estimated cash-out of 1 trillion won.

In the third phase, from December 2018 to March 2020, 12 billion Korean won was used to buy back 3 coins at the bottom of the bear market.

In the fourth phase, from March to November 2021, he liquidated all his Bitcoin holdings at the peak of the global bull market, expecting to cash out 13.8 trillion Korean won.

In the fifth phase, from December 2023 to January 2024, all funds were used to purchase SK Hynix stock.

In the sixth phase, in May 2026, the company will liquidate its SK Hynix holdings, with its final assets estimated at approximately 5 trillion Korean won.

When Jiang Yan saw the last number, his mind went blank.

28.6 trillion won.

That's nearly 160 billion RMB, or nearly 25 billion USD.

This is just a conservative estimate. A page of optional optimizations is attached, such as collateralized lending with leverage, arbitrage using the Kimchi premium, and allocating a small position in Ethereum, which is said to increase returns by an additional 30% to 50%.

Jiang Yan flipped the document back to the first page, reread the description of "kimchi premium of 36% to 54.5%" in the second phase, and then looked up at the ceiling.

The document that Lin Yun'er gave him was extremely detailed, from the overall strategy overview to the phased operation guidelines, to risk control, and finally to tax optimization, with each step specified down to the exact date and trading platform.

How does this woman's brain work?

Did she memorize the entire timeline of financial market data?

Jiang Yan took a deep breath, shakily put the document back into the file bag, and then turned to look at Lin Xiaolu next to him, just about to complain.

But Lin Xiaolu had her back to him, her semi-transparent figure trembling slightly, her shoulders shaking.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang reached out and touched her translucent arm. "Hey, Lin Xiaolu, what are you daydreaming about?"

Lin Xiaolu clenched her small fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "Don't talk to me, I'm a bit mentally broken right now."

"What's going on?"

"What the hell?" Lin Xiaolu whirled around, her doe-like eyes blazing with malice. Her finger trembled as she pointed at the bank card. "My money! This is all my money! I've worked so hard to save up for so many years, and she just gave it to a man she'd only known for less than two weeks! Two hundred billion! She gave it away without even blinking an eye! Not even asking for an IOU!"

Looking at her angry, anxious, and distressed expression, Jiang Yan suddenly felt like laughing, but dared not actually laugh.

Lin Xiaolu had no time to observe his micro-expressions. Frustrated, she spun around in mid-air. "Two hundred billion! Do you know how much I earn for a single movie, or even a single role? Two hundred billion is something I've saved penny by penny since my debut, and I even mortgaged all my properties to scrape together! My heart is bleeding right now, you know that?!"

Seeing her spinning in the air, Jiang Yan couldn't help but smile slightly.

"You still dare to laugh!" Lin Xiaolu's eyes were red by now. If she could touch something, she would have pounced on him and bit him. "Jiang Yan, from now on, you better be serious and don't do anything reckless."

"I know."

"If I lose money, I'll haunt you even as a ghost."

"Don't worry, whoever takes this plan will benefit, and your threat is too weak; you're already a ghost."

"Hey! Jiang Yan!"
