After Sun Yuchen paid a sky-high price for the lunch with Buffett, there were many related topics. This week, when the audience was looking forward to this "meeting of the century" with a 60-year age difference, Sun Yuchen suddenly made a big turn and announced the cancellation of the lunch!
Just as the crowd was stunned by this "pigeon" worth 30 million yuanMeanwhile, the Tron Foundation under Justin Sun said that Buffett had agreed to reschedule and would not cancel the event!
Recently, Facebook's digital currency project Libra was bombarded at the hearing, and there were constant negative news about Bitcoin. Can Sun Yuchen change Buffett's view of Bitcoin as "rat poison squared"? The audience is looking forward to it.
Cancellation of meeting causes surprise
On the morning of July 23, Justin Sun announced on his official Weibo account that he had canceled his lunch meeting with Mr. Buffett.
As for the reason for the cancellation, Sun Yuchen said that he was in the hospital for treatment due to a sudden kidney stone. His physical condition is stable and he is in the recovery period. He is unable to accept the interview and asks for your forgiveness. Sun Yuchen also said that the donation to the Glide Foundation has been completed and is still valid.
If the lunch meeting is cancelled, Justin Sun will become the first winner of the lunch auction to let down Buffett in 20 years.
After the post was published, it quickly attracted nearly 6,000 comments. Some netizens expressed their incomprehension and believed that the lunch should not be cancelled; others questioned whether Sun Yuchen used Buffett for hype.
Many bigwigs in the cryptocurrency circle also expressed surprise. Huobi co-founder Du Jun posted on WeChat Moments to express his astonishment.
However! Before the announcement was made, Sun Yuchen’s TRON Foundation said again: No cancellation! Reschedule!
“The Tron Foundation announced that it will postpone the lunch meeting between Justin Sun and Buffett and the related press conference. Justin Sun recently had to postpone the lunch arrangement due to kidney stones. All parties concerned have agreed to reschedule the Buffett lunch and related matters.”
Zhongzheng Jun is confused. All parties agreed to reschedule this morning. Can’t Justin Sun wait before posting on Weibo?
Previously, on June 4, Justin Sun won the 20th Buffett Charity Lunch with a record-breaking bid of US$4,567,888 (approximately RMB 31.53 million).
According to Buffett's habit for many years, the lunch for the public was held at Smith & Wollensky in New York, while the anonymous ones mostly had private dinners with Buffett in his hometown of Omaha. Sun Yuchen changed the lunch to California after Buffett agreed, saying that California was more suitable for this meeting.
There are also reports that Buffett canceled his charity lunch with Justin Sun. In response to this, Justin Sun said on his official Weibo account on July 8: "My lunch with Mr. Buffett will be held as scheduled on July 25. Please do not believe in rumors. Please refer to official news for everything."
After taking photos of the lunch, Justin Sun successively posted the list of friends who attended the lunch on WeChat, Weibo and Twitter.
Doubts are rolling in
In addition to the "lunch incident", more of Justin Sun's background was revealed by the media, and some of his past events were accused of creating topics and using any means necessary for marketing.
In July, Justin Sun announced on social networks that he would give 200 million yuan to early TRON holders, which was actually giving away tokens and claiming that they would have high returns. This operation method is also called "giving away candy" (giving away tokens), which is not unfamiliar in the cryptocurrency circle. Some industry insiders are skeptical about this kind of gameplay, which is similar to issuing coupons to attract users and increase user participation. After investors invest real money to buy tokens, what awaits them is the "scythe" of the banker.
Sun Yuchen’s entrepreneurial project, the “Peiwo” APP, was also accused of being involved in pornographic transactions.
Previously, Sun Yuchen's debate with Wang Xiaochuan on social networks attracted a large number of people. Some people therefore believed that Sun Yuchen was creating topics and earning traffic again. Along with the rolling traffic came netizens' doubts about Sun Yuchen's creation of topics and gimmick marketing.#美联储何时降息? #美国大选如何影响加密产业? #美国政府转移BTC $BTC $ETH $BNB #BTC #ETH
