After yesterday's article was published, I realized there were many points I wanted to make that I didn't mention, so I'm specifically writing another piece.
Essentially, the root cause is the uniqueness of the industry.
Don't you feel that there are many absurd yet realistic scenes in the industry?
It's clearly the internet age, yet people in the cryptocurrency circle are so keen on holding conferences.
Clearly, everyone has friends online, yet they are obsessed with offline exchanges.
Clearly, the industry is tech-driven, yet it has become firmly driven by connections.
It seems as if without business K and poker games, one cannot collaborate with others.
The core reason is: blockchain can solve trust between data, but it cannot solve trust between people.
If you want to quickly see through a person, business K, drinking parties, and poker games are the fastest scenes to reveal a person's true nature.
If someone takes you to a business K, and you perform like a fish in water there, people will know your financial level (at least your social circle) is not bad; otherwise, you couldn't sustain such high-level consumption.
If you behave like a novice and can't let go, it shows you are inexperienced and have never seen big scenes before; you already have a sense of how to handle things in the future.
So an experienced player, your instantaneous reactions in business K already reveal your level.
Drinking parties operate on a similar principle; a person’s manner of speaking, drinking capacity, and style of drinking at a dinner party undoubtedly reflect their true character, and the person who brings you into the scene just needs to place you in a fixed position to see clearly what kind of person you are.
Poker exposes human nature even more; the choices you make when facing opportunities, your instinctive reactions after continuous losses, and your attitude after winning are all the most authentic reflections of your personality.
A person's character is revealed through women, alcohol, and cards.
If Zheng Haosheng and Xiao Fan have any fault, it is that they should not have brought such a young person into contact with things he should not have encountered for several years.
The reason Zheng Haosheng chooses to publicly confront uh-huh is another deeply hidden industry rule—the apprenticeship system, or factional relationships.
To this day, Zheng Haosheng openly states in many public occasions that he is a soldier trained by Lou Jiyue, but after flying high, uh-huh does not consider himself Zheng Haosheng's soldier, especially after he leveraged some of Zheng Haosheng's resources.
This made Zheng Haosheng feel betrayed.
This is also a strange scene in our industry so far:
It's already the 21st century, why is it still like an apprenticeship and gang?
The reason still lies in the uniqueness of the industry.
Many people may not feel it, but the industry's threshold is indeed continuously rising.
On one hand, the industry's threshold is constantly rising, making it increasingly difficult for newcomers to enter.
On one hand, the industry has many pitfalls; without guidance, one will inevitably step into traps until one falls into a pit that cannot be climbed out of.
On another hand, this industry is very realistic and there exists a hierarchy of disdain; no one wants to waste even a bit of time on someone without resources, fame, or money.
It seems very difficult, doesn't it? But if you think from a different perspective, everything becomes clear:
If there is an impressive person willing to take you under their wing, you won't step into any pits; instead, you will gain their aura and resources, helping you quickly establish a foothold in the industry and even achieve results.
Without intelligence, one must learn to follow.
Zheng Haosheng and uh-huh belong to such a relationship.
At least from the outside, uh-huh is seen as Zheng Haosheng's younger brother.
So in Zheng Haosheng's view, you used my name to leverage my resources, not only did you not regard me highly, but you also sullied yourself with your words; betraying your mentor and ancestors is truly despicable.
In uh-huh's view, he simply learned some things from Zheng Haosheng in his early years; he didn't owe him anything, so why can't he climb higher? Why should you act all high and mighty in front of me?
This contradiction is irreconcilable, because both parties feel they are not at fault and think the other is foolish.
You might think what Orange Seat talks about is deeply insightful.
That's because I have also gone through such experiences.
This is also why I am now pursuing minimalism and avoiding ineffective socializing; I need to protect my energy and cut off all possible channels that could drain it.
Well, that's all the points I wanted to add; I mainly wanted to discuss the uniqueness of the industry.
Many people feel their achievements in the industry are due to their own brilliance, but overlook the significant role the person who led them into the cryptocurrency circle played.
So in the asset recovery business, I often thank lawyer Cao Shiyong on various occasions because if he had not introduced me to my first deal, I would not have been able to start subsequent scalable business; he is my guide in the asset recovery business.
Of course, uh-huh is not without merit; a 20-year-old young person being able to stir up such a big commotion is already a success.
This story is reminiscent of the plot in (the master).
Yongchun (uh-huh) wants to establish itself in Tianjin (the cryptocurrency circle), while the rules of the Tianjin martial arts community dictate that apprentices must challenge eight families; the master gains fame through the apprentice's success, and the apprentice is to be exiled.
Compared to (the master) Li Yongchun, Chen Shi, uh-huh is still an apprentice himself; wanting to quickly shed the identity of a so-called apprentice is not that easy.
As one of the traditional forces in Tianjin's martial arts community, Zheng Haosheng also needs to save face; he won't let someone like that step on him, otherwise wouldn’t he be ridiculed by his brothers?
So uh-huh must be sacrificed.
As for uh-huh saying he wants to continue exposing things, I think it's unnecessary; at this point, no matter what is done, it’s of little significance and will only hurt you more. I'm not advising you to back down, but rather telling you that being too tough can lead to breaking.
Of course, whether you take advice or not is no longer my concern.
Finishing what I wanted to say feels much more comfortable; I'm off to sleep now.
