Chapter 411: The Real Ambition

At the outset of issuing the currency, instead of thinking about how to sell it, they were thinking about how to give it away?
"What do you think of this idea?"
Su Hao didn't answer immediately, only feeling a surge of exhilarating excitement rushing to his head.
His intuition told him—this was a brilliant idea!
"Great idea, let's do it!"
"Then, Chairman Su, what do you think would be a suitable total amount for the aid?" Li Huilin asked.
Su Hao picked up a pen, with the initial intention of "doing a good deed," and wrote a number in his notebook.
However… as the pen tip hovered on the paper, the numbers in his mind raced like a wild horse.
One hundred million, one billion, two billion, three billion… the numbers kept escalating.
Finally, the pen tip came to a heavy stop at one point.
Fifty billion!
Su Hao stared at the number on the paper, stunned for a moment.
Good heavens, was his intuition telling him to go all in, to start with a royal flush?
***
The Presidential Palace of Country M.
President Aiden's already deep wrinkles deepened even further.
This life is unbearable! It's just one mess after another.
This time it's even more outrageous; $40 billion has evaporated from the cryptocurrency market without a trace.
"Only in the cryptocurrency world can such magical things happen."
"For such a large sum of money to vanish in such a short time is unimaginable in the traditional financial sector,"
the Secretary-General remarked from the side.
"I've wanted to crack down on these lawless bastards for a long time, but the public pressure was too great, so I had to back out!
Now look what's happened, such a big incident—can this even be used to convict them legally?"
"Where there's a will, there's a way. Besides, the amount involved this time is just too huge."
That's true. If it were just a small project collapsing, it wouldn't even reach President Aiden's ears.
"Mr. President, there's an even more serious problem.
Affected by this 'Lunacoin' incident, FTX, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, is now also in jeopardy."
"What happened to it?"
"There are many reasons."
First, the collapse of Lunacoin caused a price crash across the entire cryptocurrency market.
Second, FTX itself has a direct business relationship with Lunacoin.
Third, investment institutions that invested in both Lunacoin and FTX have all gone bankrupt, creating a chain reaction and generating significant doubt about FTX's financial health.
"Is this doubt genuine risk, or just panic?"
"I'm afraid... it's real. FTX's cash flow is indeed facing serious problems.
Astute investors have begun frantically withdrawing their funds, and a cryptocurrency version of a 'bank run' is imminent."
If, following Lunacoin, even a behemoth like FTX collapses, the resulting losses and panic will be ten or even a hundred times greater!
"Even if they go bankrupt, we have no obligation to bail them out, do we?" President Aiden said coldly.
"Yes, we don't need to use taxpayers' money for some kind of cryptocurrency bailout."
However… Mr. President, after this incident, Fanghuan Investment's influence will reach an unprecedented peak.
President Aiden's brow furrowed.
"Alright, I know what you're getting at." He waved his hand impatiently.
"The same old story, isn't it?
Fanghuan Investment manipulated everything behind the scenes, and in the end, only they profited immensely.
This attack was their doing too, wasn't it? I'm sick of these tricks."
"Mr. President, what I want to talk about this time is something else."
"Hmm?"
"Fanghuan Investment... announces that it will provide emergency aid totaling up to five billion to the victims of the 'Luna Coin' incident."
"What?!" President Aiden's face was filled with disbelief. "What...what are these guys trying to do?"
What benefit would they gain from this thankless and exhausting aid effort?
“If FTX collapses, won’t all the users flock to their exchanges?
Isn’t that why they attacked ‘Luna Coin’?
Since they’ve already achieved their goal, why go through all this trouble and waste so much money on a show?”
The Secretary-General took a deep breath, his tone becoming extremely serious:
“Mr. President, on the surface it’s emergency aid, but in reality, it’s something completely different.
Fanghuan Investment will use this opportunity to issue a brand new stablecoin, one they created themselves—Fanghuan Coin!”
“Wait…you mean, the so-called aid is just giving the victims their own new coin?”
“That’s right! They’ll airdrop 5 billion yuan worth of Fanghuan Coins to the victims.
Normally, releasing so many coins out of thin air would definitely cause inflation, leading to a price crash.”
"But the fact that they dare to do this shows they have sufficient financial strength to handle all of this."
Given the size of Fanghuan Group, it's impossible for them to collapse as comically as "Luna Coin."
"Hmph, using this method to promote their new coin... it's quite a ruthless move. As long as it's not illegal, I can't interfere."
President Aiden quickly lost interest.
After all, hundreds, even thousands, of new coins are born and die every day in the cryptocurrency world; one more won't make a difference.
"Mr. President, this time is different." The Secretary-General's tone was more serious than ever. "This matter cannot be taken lightly."
"Isn't it just another new coin? What's the big deal?"
"No, Mr. President, it's completely different. According to our intelligence, Fanghuan Coin...
will be usable on all platforms under the Fanghuan Group! All!
Including social media, e-commerce, entertainment, finance... everything!"
“
President Eden's pupils contracted sharply: "Like...like currency?"
"Yes, Mr. President. You've hit the nail on the head. That's the most terrifying part!
Unlike other cryptocurrencies that can only be used for speculation, this is a digital asset that can truly be circulated as currency!
Fanghuan Investment is preparing to launch this product worldwide!"
"...!?"
Only at this moment did President Aiden finally realize the gravity of the situation.
A cryptocurrency that could circulate like currency!
He instantly understood everything!
Why Fang Huan had established a presence in cryptocurrency exchanges so early, aggressively entering this wildly growing market!
Why were they so obsessively and ruthlessly crushing one competitor after another, frantically expanding their business empire?
All the mysteries were solved at this moment!
"Could it be that these lunatics..."
What is the core philosophy of TBI?
Decentralization!
Fang Huan and his team are attempting to create a brand new cryptocurrency!
Then, in a future decentralized world…
They will ascend to the throne!
To become the one and only…god!
This! Is the true Fang Huan who crushes all opponents, slays gods and demons, and fights his way to the very end…
The true ambition hidden deep within!!
