00:00Before watching the video, I would like to remind you that there is more content on the R.E.D.I.M.E. website.
00:31Okay, so what exactly is it?
00:33The trash that has been thrown away, but he still insists on finding it.
00:37According to the report of the Wealth magazine,
00:39what he is looking for is actually a computer hard drive worth about 3.2 billion RMB.
00:45And this hard drive was thrown away by his girlfriend as trash 11 years ago.
00:52A computer hard drive worth 3.2 billion RMB.
00:55Is this hard drive cash or cash?
00:58Or is it a global limited edition?
01:01No, it's not.
01:02What he threw away was actually just an ordinary hard drive.
01:05It's just that the content is not ordinary.
01:08It contains 8,000 Bitcoins that he earned by mining when he was in the encrypted currency field.
01:15Let me give you a rough estimate.
01:18At that time, the price of these Bitcoins was less than $500 a Bitcoin before 2016.
01:25And now, after Trump was elected as President of the United States,
01:30the price of Bitcoin has risen all the way up.
01:33From about $70,000 at the beginning of November, it has risen to nearly $100,000.
01:41Now you finally understand.
01:44That is to say, his girlfriend threw away the 3.2 billion RMB and put it in the trash.
01:51The computer hard drive contains 8,000 Bitcoins.
01:55After 11 years, the market value has nearly doubled.
01:58This is why the engineer refused to return the hard drive.
02:03He probably couldn't figure out why he was looking for the lost hard drive.
02:08He didn't let him go back to the trash to find the hard drive.
02:11But what are these small setbacks in the face of wealth?
02:16Countless hard drives have never made him give up the idea of finding this huge amount of wealth.
02:21The report also said that this engineer had devised a $11 million plan
02:27to get robots, AI robots, and expert teams
02:32out of the 110,000 tons of garbage.
02:36to get the 8,000 Bitcoins worth $3.2 billion back.
02:41According to his estimate,
02:43it would take three years to search through the 110,000 tons of garbage.
03:06But he still couldn't convince the board of directors.
03:13He has been using all kinds of methods for many years,
03:17but now he decided to use the last resort to appeal to the board of directors.
03:22If the authorities don't agree, he will be fined 4.95 billion pounds,
03:27which is about $2.8 billion in financial losses.
03:30In response to the appeal,
03:32the spokesman for the Newport Council of Engineers told the Financial Magazine
03:36that the council had repeatedly told the engineer
03:40that according to the council's environmental permit,
03:42he could not allow him to excavate in the garbage dump.
03:46And this type of excavation work
03:48would have a huge negative environmental impact on the surrounding area.
03:52So the council believed that the engineer's long-standing claim
03:57had no basis at all.
03:59The council will actively prepare to fight against it.
