![]() ![]() Author: Hao Yuan Source: Blue Whale Financial Reporter Work Platform (ID: lanjingcj) You may not believe it, but Buffett was cheated…… 29-year-old Sun Yuchen posted on Weibo that he had canceled his lunch meeting with Mr. Buffett because he was being treated in the hospital for a "sudden kidney stone". ![]() We had an agreed lunch on the 25th, but suddenly got kidney stones on the 23rd. It was really "sudden".…… ![]() “"Kidney Stone" Whose Step? This is a luncheon that has attracted much attention from the beginning. Buffett, who has never been optimistic about the currency circle, wants to have lunch with a currency fanatic. The drama is definitely enough. However, when audiences around the world were eagerly awaiting the "climax", one of the starring actors, Justin Sun, actually skipped the ticket. The main message of this Weibo statement is actually two points. First, sudden kidney stones.; Second, the lunch meeting was cancelled. But these two points make people think a lot. Everyone is very concerned about Sun Yuchen's physical condition: How sudden and serious is this kidney stone, so much so that a meal worth 31 million yuan has to be canceled? ![]() Image source: Zhihu In fact, as early as before, foreign media reported that Buffett intended to cancel the lunch meeting with Justin Sun. Therefore, as soon as the news came out, many people speculated that "kidney stones" were just a "step" given by Sun to Buffett. But then, the Tron Foundation announced that after coordination, all parties agreed to reschedule the (lunch) time when their respective schedules could accommodate it. The "cancellation" mentioned before the co-writing was "suspension", so this drama is really climaxing.…… At the same time, the "kidney stone hype theory" began to spread. Netizens who held this view believed that as an emerging industry, the core competitiveness of the currency circle is traffic. Sun Yuchen's repeated attitude is actually repeatedly using Buffett's celebrity effect to increase his popularity. Supporters of this view received new evidence this morning. In two screenshots of chats between Justin Sun and others that were circulated online, Justin Sun claimed to have used the news to short TRON to make profits. ![]() ![]() Image source: Zhihu However, as public opinion continues to ferment, it is not only TRON that is "short-sold", but also Justin Sun. At noon today, the 21st Century Business Herald reported that after multiple verifications, it was learned that Sun Yuchen’s current projects were suspected of illegal fund-raising, money laundering, and pornography and gambling. In response to a series of questions, Sun Yuchen, who is still "ill", posted on Weibo to respond, saying that the pictures of the conversations posted online are not true and are all photoshopped.; Online rumors about illegal fund-raising are false ; Internet rumors about money laundering are false ; All information is subject to Sun Yuchen’s Weibo. ![]() But Mr. Sun, if you feel unwell, please don’t post on Weibo and rest quickly. Buffett is waiting for you to have dinner with you over the sea. ![]() Justin Sun ties up Buffett, is this marketing worth it? Buffett has really opened his eyes this year. Living almost 90 years old has still unlocked various firsts in life. I obviously don’t like the currency circle, but I still want to have a meal with people in the currency circle. Facts have proved that even if I have money like Buffett, I can’t do whatever I want.; From 2004 to last year, Buffett's luncheon had always been held at the Smith & Wollensky restaurant in New York, but this year it was moved to San Francisco for Justin Sun, because the U.S. headquarters of Justin Sun's company is in San Francisco. ; What's even more exaggerated is that Buffett is now going to be let go.…… At present, it seems that the biggest loser in this dinner is actually Buffett. An "old Taoist priest" who has been traveling in the world for decades is now being used by a young boy in all kinds of ways. On June 5, Justin Sun announced to the world that he had photographed his lunch with Buffett, and this was the beginning of the bundle. Justin Sun is well aware that Buffett has no good opinion of the currency circle, but this has become a focus of his publicity. Different from the previous theme of "Buffett preaches, learns karma and solves doubts", Sun Yuchen has repeatedly stated that he wants to introduce blockchain to Buffett, and also personally install "coins" in his mobile phone. Relying on the natural popularity of the "Buffett Lunch" and the conflicting issues caused by the two parties' different attitudes towards the "currency circle", Sun Yuchen received a lot of attention that day. Justin Sun, who was once labeled as "Jack Ma's disciple", quickly put a "Lunch with Buffett" logo on himself, and even changed the Weibo background to this theme. ![]() In order to ensure continued exposure, Sun Yuchen chose the most efficient way to become popular on social networks - ripping X. Whether it is Wang Xiaochuan or Wang Sicong, although it seems that they are exposing the true face of Sun Yuchen, they have objectively "contributed" to Sun Yuchen's popularity. For a time, various articles about Sun Yuchen, whether you call them "archaeological posts" or "skin-picking posts", are appearing in an endless stream. Sun Yuchen's "media image" has become more and more distinct. Along with Sun Yuchen, his products that were originally unknown in the world are becoming popular. While everyone was eagerly waiting to see how the meal that Buffett was least willing to eat would end with dignity, Justin Sun "suddenly suffered from kidney stones", and a big discussion about Justin Sun himself began again. Like the entertainment industry, traffic is also crucial to the cryptocurrency industry. "Eating" has never been Sun's original intention. All of this is like a large-scale marketing campaign to let more people know about and join the "leek field" of "Tron Coin". Sun's own IP has also been strengthened in hot searches and controversies. Although onlookers have mixed opinions about Sun Yuchen, they have to be convinced by his ability to control "traffic". In the eyes of many netizens, although the "lunch" is priced at 30 million, the marketing energy redeemed in reality far exceeds this price. But is this “marketing” really successful? Although Justin Sun's series of operations have successfully attracted everyone's attention, what followed was a more stringent "inspection." Currently, many media and departments have expressed "special concern" about the "Peiwo" APP and "TRON". Whether it is voice chat or blockchain, there are various uncertainties in Justin Sun's business field. If he is not careful, he will face crises such as delisting. At that time, the preset "traffic bonus" may turn into "traffic backlash." At present, it seems that this "lunch" is not cancelled, but postponed. It's just that Buffett will be brought to the headlines by Justin Sun again.…… Before going to press, Justin Sun had posted pictures and videos of his home in San Francisco on Twitter, seemingly responding to rumors that he was under border control. The picture and text show his home in San Francisco. Looking out the window of his home, you can see the Bay Bridge, one of San Francisco's landmark buildings. The other is a live broadcast lasting 9 minutes and 40 seconds. In the live video, Sun Yuchen is talking at home in San Francisco, and there are also shots of the Bay Bridge...
