I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

The teacher glared at Li Yuqing and didn't know what to say.

"Ha, I'm going back to China to work anyway, so I chose this course just to make it easier." After class, Li Yuqing giggled.

"What kind of job can you find when you go back? The salary in Jiangcheng is the lowest among the provincial capitals. I don't believe you can stay there..." Shi Tao said.

Indeed, as the largest city in central China, Jiangcheng has excellent urban construction and started developing early.

However, there are so many universities and new graduates, so the wages and housing prices are at the bottom among provincial capitals and are even worse than some small places along the coast.

In short, even if you don't want to work because the salary is too low, there are plenty of people willing to do it. Jiangcheng has never lacked cheap labor.

Chen Xi remembered that Li Yuqing didn't do very well after she returned. Firstly, her family didn't have many connections, and secondly, she had a bit of a domineering personality. In the end, her salary was only around three or four thousand yuan.

But even so, Li Yuqing did not regret going back. She liked lively places, and Australia was too boring.

"Why can't I find a good job? I'm a returnee from overseas, so it's easy for me to find a job that pays over ten thousand yuan a month?" Li Yuqing suddenly got angry.

"Monthly salary over ten thousand? What the hell are you dreaming about! You probably don't know what the basic salary is in the country now." Shi Tao laughed again. He felt that Li Yuqing was a fool who only knew how to dream.

"Huh? Is it difficult to find a job? What's the basic monthly salary now?" Li Yuqing looked at everyone in confusion.

"About three thousand..." Chen Xi said after recalling.

"Chen Xi, you are not from Jiangcheng, how do you know so much? Are you paying attention to me privately?" Li Yuqing held her cheeks with both hands and started to be self-indulgent again.

Little did they know that the two of them had been in love in their previous life, and Chen Xi naturally knew about it.

"Well, the salaries in the country are about the same now." Chen Xi coughed lightly and explained.

Yes, the current salary in China is about this level. But other places have developed rapidly, while Jiangcheng is still standing still.

No, probably it should be going backwards.

In his previous life, Shi Tao once talked about this with Chen Xi while they were drinking. He said that Jiangcheng was a place that had basically not developed.

Chen Xi felt that it was not entirely true. He felt that the development of Jiangcheng was a little different from that of other cities. Its development direction was to expand madly towards the surrounding areas, that is, to increase its area.

This resulted in more land, more houses, and more people in Jiangcheng.

"What did your aunt's accounting firm say?" Chen Xi looked at Shi Tao.

Now many of the company’s accounts are handled by Aunt Shitao.

In his previous life, Shi Tao gave up on inheriting the law firm, and after returning to China, he didn't make much of a living. He opened a financial company and was even defrauded of money.

This made the already poor family even worse off.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Shi Tao is a person who has no plans and just lives one day at a time.

"I suggest you stay in Australia." Chen Xi patted his shoulder.

He failed to make it in his previous life when he returned to China, so in this life, let’s see if he can have a worry-free life in Australia.

Shi Tao didn't take it to heart and just nodded.

There were only three of them in this class, and the others were all strangers.

After chatting for a while, the three of them saw that there was almost no one in the classroom, so they walked out.

"Classmate, classmate. Do you want someone to write your paper for you?" As soon as they walked out of the classroom, they were stopped by a boy wearing glasses.

The boy asked quietly, covering his mouth with his hand.

Write a paper for someone else?

Oh my god, this business has even spread to the school?

Chen Xi rolled his eyes.

This business is no secret, but transactions are basically completed online.

Because it is an illegal project, if you are caught, you will not be fined, but directly deported. So no one dares to trade privately.

"Do you think I'm a bad student?" Li Yuqing put her hands on her hips and looked at the other person unkindly.

"Then do you want to make money by being a writer?" the boy asked again.

"How much does a paper cost?" Li Yuqing, who was greedy for money, asked quickly.

"Different subjects, different word counts, individual or group papers have different prices. There are also extra fees for expedited or non-expedited processing, how many points you want, and whether it needs special customization!" the boy said slowly.

Chen Xi looked at the boy and realized that what he said was indeed right.

In his previous life, he hired a lot of ghostwriters.

The price for a nearly 1,000 words is over 200 yuan, and it is not guaranteed to pass.

A good one would have four or five hundred words in a thousand, which is just passing.

Anything better will be more expensive and can get high scores.

Sometimes, for a group paper, each team member would contribute money to write it together.

Because group papers are very troublesome, some people don't care and just want to pass, some want to get high scores, and some don't want to participate. This leads to a large number of people asking for help in writing group papers, and the prices are not low.

Generally, a medium-length paper is at least 3,000 words, which is actually quite quick to write.

However, those international students who do not go to school on weekdays can only find ghostwriters.

This business is actually very profitable, and Chen Xi has talked to several writing agencies that specialize in ghostwriting for him.

There are people specifically responsible for contacting clients, different schools, and different majors, and then sending the paper requirements to the writers.

In fact, most of these writers are international students. Some of them have already returned to their home country but have not found a job and still want to make money.

Some are teachers from educational institutions. It is hard to imagine that some teachers do ghostwriting...

This ghostwriting job makes money much faster than working, and you basically won’t get caught.

"Well, ghostwriting papers is illegal. Aren't you afraid of being reported for promoting it in school?" Shi Tao coughed lightly and reminded the boy.

"What are you afraid of? Do you have any evidence? I don't write for others. I'm just a contact person." The boy curled his lips and saw that they were not interested in this, so he left quickly.

Chen Xi shrugged and started to go downstairs, while Shi Tao quickly followed.

Li Yuqing turned around and glanced at the boy who had just left, with a fiery glint in her eyes.

"It seems that ghostwriting papers is very profitable. After returning to China, I can become a writer for those students who are still studying abroad. It should be much better than working part-time." Shi Tao walked while thinking about what the boy had just said.

"Yeah, it seems like you can easily earn tens of thousands of Chinese yuan a month, and you're already in the country, so it doesn't matter if something happens." Li Yuqing also echoed.

"That's true, but it's impossible to make this money for a lifetime." Chen Xi shook his head.

This is a way to make quick money, but you won't be able to make money in a few years.

"Why?" Li Yuqing was a little puzzled.

"You, you only know how to do illegal things every day. This is not a good habit." Chen Xi smiled helplessly.

In fact, in the future, AI has become popular in people’s daily lives, and the business of writing papers for others will naturally be replaced by computers.

But he couldn't say such things out loud.

The three of them went to the small restaurant next to the school again. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a young man wearing a yellow dragon-patterned vest walking out with a takeaway.

"Boss, do you have takeout now?" Chen Xi looked at the woman.

"Yes." The woman nodded.

“Does that make more money than before?”

"The orders have increased, but there is no packaging fee in Australia, which means that I have to pay for the takeaway boxes. It would be okay if the number of takeaways was small, but if it was large, it would be a considerable expense!" The proprietress had a mixed look on her face.

"Well, don't worry. When the technology improves in the future, maybe some new materials will be developed, and the price of takeaway boxes will be lower." Chen Xi sat down and said while ordering food. Indeed, Australia is different from China. There is almost no packaging fee for restaurants to take away food. And the price of ordering food on the platform is the same as going to the store, there will be no difference.

Some restaurants do charge a service fee, but that only applies to high-end restaurants.

However, what the boss lady said is not entirely correct. In many Chinese restaurants, the food portions when take-away are smaller than those for dine-in, which can be considered a disguised price increase.

Now all they can do is to organize some promotional activities in the early stage of the platform, provide some packaging boxes to merchants for free or at a discount, and then make money through the stock industries related to the platform.

"Boss, why has the price of this dish increased?" Li Yuqing asked, looking at the brand new menu in her hand.

In fact, the price only increased by two or three yuan, but Li Yuqing could not accept such a thing.

She likes to ask questions about trivial matters, which often makes people unhappy.

For example, when I went to a restaurant or other place with Chen Xi, I would often question the waiter or the boss if the product or service was not to my liking, and sometimes we would even have an argument.

Chen Xi is similar to most men. He thinks that such small things don’t matter at all. At worst, he can just not come to this store next time. Time is money. Why bother about these things?

However, Li Yuqing often argued with Chen Xi about this matter. She felt that she should protect her rights and interests and that she should get something satisfactory since she spent the money.

She felt that because more and more people like Chen Xi had this kind of thinking, businesses became more and more unscrupulous in providing poor customer service.

In fact, there is no right or wrong in this matter, it’s just that everyone has different ideas.

"Prices in Australia are rising now. Other restaurants have raised their prices before, but I've waited until now because I feel that it's not easy for international students... and now there's an additional takeout fee, so of course I have to take this opportunity to change the prices so that I can ensure the normal operation of my restaurant." The proprietress replied, holding a small sticker with the menu on it.

There is nothing wrong with what she said. Prices in Australia have skyrocketed, but this store is still selling at the same price, so it is indeed not making any money.

The price of cigarettes has risen to more than 20 yuan now, and a bowl of double-combination rice costs about 13 yuan.

Fortunately, the wage growth rate in Australia is not low, and the minimum wage is several dollars more per hour than before.

Otherwise, the Australians would have been in chaos long ago.

"Just raise the price. You're about to graduate. You won't be able to eat out many times anyway. Why bother about these small amounts of money? I think the price should be raised. I wish the boss good luck and great fortune!" Shi Tao said disdainfully.

"You are still the sweet talker. I see you are old customers. I will give you a plate of snacks later." The woman giggled as she looked at Shi Tao, who looked quite handsome.

"Hehe, thank you very much, boss." Shi Tao raised the corner of his mouth.

I have to say that Shi Tao is quite attractive to women. There is no shortage of women around him whether abroad or at home.

Especially older women, they prefer Shi Tao's style. It seems that every girlfriend of his is older than him...

"Chen Xi, do you have any Turtle Coins?" Li Yuqing suddenly asked after the proprietress left.

"Turtle Coin? Why do I need that?" Chen Xi was a little confused.

He had forgotten about this matter long ago. If Li Yuqing hadn't told him, he probably wouldn't have even remembered it.

"Aren't you the vice president? You should have a lot of coins."

"I'm not a money printing machine, how can I conjure up this thing?"

"Really? You didn't say that on purpose to avoid suspicion, did you?"

"What? Really nothing." Chen Xi chuckled and shook his head, turning on his cell phone.

Soon, he could no longer laugh because a certain amount of Turtle Coins appeared in his association account!
Ok?
what's the situation?
How did I get Turtle Coins?

Chen Xi refreshed the page to make sure he was not seeing things.

There are indeed quite a few Turtle Coins in the account.

"What is the use of this Turtle Coin? Why are you asking this suddenly?" Chen Xi did not talk about the appearance of coins in his account, but looked up at Li Yuqing.

"Of course it's used to buy things. This stuff can be used as money and can also be used to buy health products!"

"Huh? Health products? Why don't they just use Australian dollars?" Chen Xi was even more confused.

"Because it's hard to make money from coins, some people just want Turtle Coins, so they sell health products at a loss to get Turtle Coins." Li Yuqing spread his hands.

She looked at the man in front of her with some confusion. As the vice president of the association, he didn't know as much as she did.

"No, I mean, what else can this coin be used for? Can it be used to buy some special items?"

"I don't know. Anyway, the announcement from the association told us to hold more. The price will go up in the future. It's a disguised form of investment."

"Do you believe this too?"

"I see that everyone else is working on the cryptocurrency, so there must be some inside story. If the cryptocurrency doesn't go up in value, then the association's credibility will be damaged. This would be considered deceiving the members, and the president wouldn't be shooting himself in the foot." Li Yuqing's analysis was so well-reasoned that Chen Xi couldn't refute it.

This time even Shi Tao, who had always been against her, remained silent.

"I didn't expect you to be so smart." Chen Xi stared at Li Yuqing for a few seconds.

In fact, Li Yuqing is not stupid, otherwise her grades would not be so high. It’s just that her emotional intelligence is a little low.

"Hehe." Li Yuqing raised her chin proudly because it was her first time to get a performance from Chen Xi.

"It is difficult for the value of this returnee coin to increase. You have read so many books and should be very clear about the value of currency. First of all, in terms of the issuance method, Turtle Coin is issued by the Returnee Association and is usually obtained by completing tasks. This issuance method limits its market liquidity and supply. Besides, the value basis is different from virtual currencies such as Bitcoin that are based on blockchain technology and encryption algorithms. The value basis of Turtle Coin may rely more on subjective factors such as the credibility of the issuing institution and the degree of task completion..." Before the dishes were served, Chen Xi analyzed Turtle Coin to Li Yuqing.

In other words, the current Turtle Coin is not pegged to other currencies or gold, which leads to low stability.

This method of issuance is similar to printing banknotes in ordinary countries. If too much is printed, the final result will be depreciation.

It is very difficult to solve this problem, and the first thing is technical connection.

In order to achieve the link between Turtle Coin and Bitcoin or other virtual currencies, it is necessary to first achieve technical interoperability between the two currencies. This requires the development of a dedicated interface or protocol to ensure smooth conversion between the two currencies.

In order to keep the value of Turtle Coin stable, its value must be anchored to Bitcoin or other relatively stable mainstream virtual currencies. This can be achieved by setting a certain exchange rate or adopting a market-pegging strategy. However, this anchoring method cannot completely eliminate the risk of Turtle Coin value fluctuations, because mainstream virtual currencies such as Bitcoin themselves also have price fluctuations.

Currently, the liquidity is very poor, and Turtle Coin can only circulate within the association, which means that it is impossible for it to rise sharply.

But in the final analysis, there are benefits to issuing Turtle Coins.

The association needs an incentive mechanism. Turtle Coins can be obtained by completing tasks, which can motivate users to participate in specific activities or complete specific tasks, thereby increasing user activity and participation. This mechanism helps to improve user stickiness and promote community development.

Furthermore, this is a global platform for returnees. The association members are people from all over the world. Users can earn Turtle Coins by completing tasks, while at the same time understanding and learning about the culture of returnees, international perspectives, etc., which also helps to enhance cross-cultural communication and understanding.

Most importantly, the emergence of Turtle Coin can attract more people to join the association. As long as this currency can buy things that are difficult to buy outside, it will be a huge attraction.

Chen Xi was a little confused about what Lin Xi was doing. They were both highly educated people, so they would definitely understand such simple financial knowledge.

Then why do they make such bold statements that Turtle Coin will definitely increase in price?
He checked QQ, but there was no message from Linxi on his phone.

Chen Xi knew that this guy must have leaked the news, but he didn't even say hello to him, just wanting him to ask.

You want me to ask, but I won't.

At this time, the food came up and the proprietress brought a plate of bean paste pot pancakes.

This is a very common dessert in Chinese restaurants in Australia. It is not very delicious and tastes similar to the red bean pie in KFC in China, but for ordinary international students, it is still very delicious.

"You are about to graduate, so why do you want to go back to your country? You have spent so many years studying in Australia, and you must have spent a lot of money. Can you earn back the money by going back to work this time?" The proprietress folded her arms and looked at the three of them.

She has been running a restaurant here for many years, and every year she sees many students returning to Australia to work. She herself is not an international student, but can only be regarded as an early entrepreneur who has been in Australia for a long time.

The expenses of an average international student in Australia are around hundreds of thousands of Chinese yuan, even if they live a poor life, not to mention those international students from well-off families.

If I go back to China, I can only earn a few thousand yuan a month. How long will it take to make a profit?
In the boss lady's opinion, this is not a good deal.

Not only her, many people feel the same way.

"Everyone has different purposes for studying abroad. We study for the country's rise. We have no shortage of money!" Chen Xi picked up a piece of bean paste pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.

Li Yuqing looked at Chen Xi and did not refute.

Although she is usually obsessed with money, she still has patriotism.

However, Li Yuqing still muttered in her heart, You don't lack money, but I do! (End of this chapter)
