Chapter 4 [Our Past]

 At night, Xia Yin had a dream, and it seemed that he had returned to nine years ago, when he had just traveled through time.

That was 1999.

One sunny afternoon, Xia Yin opened his eyes and came to this world. That year, he was nine years old.

It was just that he was groggy that day and didn't wake up much until late at night. 13-year-old Xia Yi rushed into his room and took him to the square of the small town regardless of his discomfort.

There were so many people that I didn’t know where they came from, and everyone’s face was filled with joy.

Then Xia Yin saw his parents in this life, Xia Sheng and Ruoxin Ruien. They were extremely surprised when they saw Xia Yin.

"Little guy, are you feeling better?"

Before Xia Yin could reply, he was hugged and lifted up by his father. The fireworks show crackled in the sky, and everyone shouted loudly.

"Happy Millennium!"

"Wow, the new century has arrived!"

At that moment, Xia Yin understood the timeline.

At the same time, at that moment, the voice of the system sounded in his mind.

From then on, Xia Yin lived a good life. His parents loved him and his brother protected him. Because of the system, Xia Yin became more and more smart and capable. This is a happy and happy family.

It's just that this good life was too short-lived. Within a few months, my parents' company went bankrupt due to the collapse of Nasdaq, and their lives began to become difficult.

But this was just the beginning. In 2001, an accident completely broke the family's only balance. Xia Yin's parents died in a car accident, and he and his brother instantly became orphans.

The blows came one after another. Because the mortgage payments were cut off and the house was about to be taken away by the bank, he and his brother were going to live on the streets. Fortunately, his parents still left some inheritance.

11-year-old Xia Yin was quite calm at this time. Before the welfare agency came, he asked his brother to quickly handle his parents' inheritance, converted it all into cash, and hid it.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yin was taken away by the welfare agency, and Xia Yi had to fend for himself because he was already very old.

Xia Yi suffered a lot outside, and Xia Yin had a hard time in the orphanage, but luckily he met Lisa here.

I still remember the afternoon when he first arrived at the local welfare institution. Lisa, with disheveled hair, walked up to him and asked him, "Do you want some candy?"

The sun shines on her face, emitting a holy light.

Xia Yin's panic suddenly calmed down. He took the candy with a smile and said, "After eating your candy, you are mine and I will protect you."

Little Lisa smiled, but said no more.

Later, Xia Yin learned that in order to protect herself, little Lisa deliberately made herself slovenly to cover up her proud appearance and at the same time pretended to be mute to reduce the chance of being adopted.

Time came to 2002, and Xia Yin had been living in the orphanage for half a year. Xia Yin changed his previous practice of increasing his mental strength and intelligence. He began to increase his physical strength, which allowed him to dominate the fights in the orphanage.<

/p>

Xia Yin and Lisa have become the overlords of the orphanage.

During this period, Lisa taught Xia Yin to speak Russian, and Xia Yin taught Lisa to speak simple Chinese.

Both of them are very smart and have a good understanding of each other, and their language advantage makes them like a fish in water.

The key is that they are very smart and have never been caught. Even if they are the one who beats someone, they will become victims in the eyes of the staff.

Over at Xia Yi, apart from going to school and working part-time every day, the life was very busy and tiring.

But he will go to college next year. It is certain that he will get a scholarship based on his grades, but this means that he has to leave Los Angeles, which he cannot accept.

But it’s not all bad news, there is good news too.

After the bank took away the parents' house, it put it into the rental market. A girl named Kate Denlins lived in that house.

Xia Yi often wandered there. He missed everything here very much. After selling many of his parents' legacy, this house became the only thing he missed.

Fortunately, Xia Yi was handsome enough, and Kate was also rebellious at this time, so the two of them somehow fell in love with each other.

This house was also rented to her by her parents because she had just obtained her driver's license and wanted to live independently.

Until the second half of 2002, Xia Yin found a way to make a fortune quickly by teaching himself computers. The key is that he can control it through computers and phones, which is very safe.

From this, Xia Yin formulated a big plan, and he told his brother about the plan.

Xia Yi smiled happily after hearing this, "Do you still remember the story about flowers that your mother told you before?"

"Withered flowers will no longer take root and sprout"

"But the flowers left behind can bloom in various ways"

"Just go ahead and do it, I will bear all the consequences."

Xia Yin also started the sexy operation.

It's already 2002, Amazon and eBay are already relatively mature, and what Xia Yin wants to do is related to this.

In their small town, there is a women's prison. It just so happens that on the Internet, there are many women who like underwear worn by women, and the cost of purchasing from the prison is very low.

Through online transactions, a pair of underwear is priced as high as $88, but demand exceeds supply.

In just six months, Xia Yin earned more than 20,000 US dollars from this. Although money is important, it is not the most important.

The most important thing is to establish a fictitious identity, and then hire someone to adopt Xia Yin and Lisa.

At the beginning of 2003, it seemed that all the gloom had passed.

Xia Yin and Lisa successfully left the orphanage, and Xia Yi was admitted to UCL. The three of them all moved into the house rented by Kate, which was also Xia Yin's previous home.

Xia Yin also stopped his underwear business and started a reselling business on the Internet to support his family's expenses. This continued until 2005.

One day, Xia Yin suddenly thought of a legend on the Internet in his past life, in which he exchanged a pin for a house.

He has been doing reselling business, and he easily changed from a car needle to a motorcycle in 3 months.

He recorded the entire incident on the Internet, attracting many people to participate, and also attracted the participation of TV stations.

The transactions became bigger and bigger, until at the end of 2005, Xia Yin finally exchanged a house. He quickly reached an agreement with the bank and used the house plus a small subsidy to exchange for his parents' house.

Despite paying most of the deposit, they finally got their home, and it was well worth it.

At the same time, in 2004, new neighbors moved next door, Thalia's family. Because they were similar in age, Thalia and Lisa became good friends, and they also got to know Xia Yin.

In an accident, Thalia praised Xia Yin for singing beautifully, and Xia Yin wanted to be a singer. It happened that the system could help him achieve this.

It was not until the exchange of houses back at the end of 2005 that Xia Yin sang his gratitude song based on this news report. He wrote a song specifically for this incident.

"Flashlight" is the excitement of owning this house, but also the gratitude to all the people who exchanged it.

And this song, coupled with the legendary nature of Xia Yin’s story of wanting to trade back his parents’ old house, immediately became popular.

Of course, it’s also important that the songs sound good.

Universal Music approached Xia Yin. In addition to studying, Xia Yin also started working hard for his first album.

In the summer of the same year, Xia Yi graduated from college. At the same time, Xia Yin graduated from high school and was admitted to UCL.

It happened to be the time when the 2006 World Cup was held. Xia Yin had also watched this World Cup and made a lot of money through various bets. They were really not short of money.

In October, Xia Yin's first album was released. Xia Yin became popular, his album also sold well, and he made a lot of money.

Xia Yin asked his brother to set up X Capital and invested his money in it. With the opportunities provided by the system, their money soon doubled.

It wasn't until the summer of 2007 that Xia Yin asked his brother to start investing in subprime mortgages, and he gained a lot in early 2008.

After successfully settling the profits, Xia Yin asked his brother to set up a fund "Just Because Fund" again, spending US$59 million to buy 13 million shares of Apple.

And spent $22 million to buy a seaside ranch in Santa Barbara, which covers an area of ​​1,750 hectares (4,323 acres).

This ranch has a hill, a villa, and a private beach. It was only because of the financial crisis that I had the opportunity to buy it at a low price.

Xia Yi studied computer science at UCLa and was very interested in games. It happened that Xia Yin saw the news about League of Legends and spent US$30 million to acquire 70% of their shares.

At the same time, in April, another game company was established, called: [Bonfire Games], and is now developing a pixel game called: "Minecraft"!

In May, Xia Yin released his first Chinese album and made donations for the disaster in the mainland. At the same time, his second English album is almost ready.

This is Xia Yin’s past 9 years!
