Sun Yuchen, who is in the spotlight, applause and various titles, never thought that he would fall into the whirlpool of public opinion after taking the photo of the sky-high "Buffett Lunch". Under the sweeping condemnation of "excessive marketing", Sun Yuchen was gradually labeled. The more this is the case, the more curious Sun Yuchen’s true appearance becomes.…… Justin Sun in the spotlight  In the circles of the Internet and blockchain, almost no one knows Justin Sun. As a Buffett alumnus, in June 2019, he announced on his personal Weibo that he had photographed the "Buffett Charity Lunch" and donated more than 4.5 million US dollars to this end. He was also the youngest Chinese person ever to photograph Buffett’s lunch, when he was only 28 years old. Thirteen years ago, Justin Sun, who won the New Concept Essay Contest, was admitted to Peking University with a 20-point reduction in the college entrance examination. It took him one year to get admitted to Peking University from the original three scores. While in school, he also appeared on the cover of Asia Weekly. Ten years ago, Sun Yuchen, who graduated from Peking University ahead of schedule, went to the University of Pennsylvania to study for a master's degree. While studying abroad, he was recruited by a company called Ripple in Silicon Valley. The company's main business is to build a new bank clearing and settlement network. This is an early blockchain. Sun Yuchen named this concept "value network". He returned to China to start a business with a business plan and visited investors. He described this in his autobiographical book "This World is Cruel and Gentle": "In the early spring of 2014, I returned from studying in the United States to start a business. I took the business plan alone and squeezed the subway to go to the China World Trade Center Phase 3 to meet an investor. This is the 31st name on my investor list..." After experiencing the indifference and hardships in the early stages of starting a business, Sun Yuchen relied on his talent and hard work to obtain investment from IDG and other institutions； It has also been favored by the media and has appeared on CCTV, Phoenix TV and other media platforms. But in his opinion, these are just false names. What he cares more about is his goal. Just as he pursued by photographing Buffett's lunch, he not only supports charity but also popularizes the blockchain industry to the world. In addition, in recent years, he has made donations to the GLIDE Foundation, the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Association, Swedish "Environmental Girl" Greta Thunberg and other organizations or individuals to support the development of global charity, technology, health, environmental protection and other public welfare undertakings, and actively promote the application of scientific methods and business model innovation in public welfare practice. From China to International Sun Yuchen has said many times: "I am born in the 90s. The key words of our era are the Internet and blockchain. We have caught up with the Internet and globalization. It is the era of China's fastest economic development. We have basically no barriers to English and naturally have an international perspective." ” From studying to starting a business, Sun Yuchen’s experience represents the typical path of the post-90s generation from China to the world. In May 2020, an international authoritative media introduced the TRON chain created by Justin Sun: "The TRON public chain he created is a decentralized operating system. Unlike Android or iPhone applications, the DApps running on the TRON operating system are decentralized because they are not run on a server or run by any one entity. Tron has 342 active DApps and more than 230,000 users, and Tron Dapps can be downloaded through the most widely distributed mobile app store in the world..."  In addition to starting a business, Justin Sun has also actively integrated into the "international circle of friends" and has attracted the attention of many international celebrities. Sun is quite surprised and pleasantly surprised by this. He believes that it is his beloved blockchain career that has attracted more and more people's attention to him. In 2020, former NBA star Kobe Bryant passed away, and no one has been with him since "Los Angeles at four in the morning." A year later, Justin Sun missed this old friend and said that he firmly believed that the Mamba spirit of "never give up" will always be there. Justin Sun and Kobe Bryant got to know each other because of the niTROn Summit held by TRON in San Francisco in January 2019. This summit is a grand ceremony of blockchain technology and digital assets. Kobe was invited to attend and not only presented the TRON mascot with an exclusive No. 24 jersey, but also had a pleasant themed interactive conversation with Justin Sun.   Today, Justin Sun's business territory is still gradually expanding, from North America to Southeast Asia, and his circle of friends is also constantly expanding. When the tide goes out, the wave field goes first  According to statistics, there were about 27,000 blockchain projects in 2016, and there were thousands of companies entering the blockchain industry in 2018, but only a few will persist until 2021. As Buffett said, “Only when the tide goes out do you know who was swimming naked. ” After the tide receded, the surrounding area looked slightly desolate, but Sun Yuchen still did not leave. Faced with the fluctuating global economic situation in recent years, many former pioneers in the industry have begun to think about quitting. However, Justin Sun has been recruiting troops and acquired the world-renowned distributed file sharing and downloading system BitTorrent and the famous American video website Dlive. Samsung, Opera browser, Oracle, Swisscom, Huawei and other companies have successively become TRON's business partners. With the unyielding spirit of his student days, Justin Sun once again acted as "the person who is playful and naughty on the surface, but works harder than anyone else behind the scenes." Justin Sun defined the values of TRON, one of which is called "One day, one pawn, unexpected success." ”Another one is "online 24/7". Looking at Tron’s domestic and overseas communities, the content on WeChat public accounts, Facebook, and Twitter is available almost 365 days a year, rain or shine. Sun Yuchen does live broadcasts in the community every now and then. Some people commented that Sun Yuchen is a model worker in this industry.  In a corporate world without the Internet fever and controversy. Justin Sun has turned TRON, which was once ridiculed as an "air chain", into one of the world's leading blockchain platforms. Under Justin Sun's layout, TRON platform data shows that the total number of users has exceeded 20 million, the cumulative number of transactions has exceeded 1.5 billion, and the DApp ecosystem is active. It continues to invest more than 1 billion in basic research and development every year to maintain technological competitiveness.

Mentioning this paragraph, Sun Yuchen said carefully: Time is the best answer and the best antidote. Only people who don’t understand will question, it’s already 2021, why can’t I say that blockchain can change the world? Justin Sun once said frankly: "Time is the best answer and the best explanation." Looking back at a CCTV "Dialogue" column a few years ago, Sun Yuchen, who was in the early stages of entrepreneurship at that time, gathered together with several senior entrepreneurs. The opinions he expressed made the four of them nod frequently. As time goes by, what kind of attitude will Sun Yuchen take when he is thirty years old? In what image will he return to the public eye again? Life is like a book. Some books can only be understood if you read them literally. Some books can only be understood after repeated reflection. Books are different, and so are people. The beginning of Sun Yuchen's thirty years can be described as exciting. In the longer time in the future, on the larger canvas of life, how he will continue to write, I hope it will be a good story that does not end unfinished. (Information) |
