In the desert, a beautiful woman was unbearably thirsty, isolated and helpless, not far from death.
At that moment, a burly man suddenly crawled out of the sand. He said, “I have water and I can save you—but there are conditions.”
The burly man said, “From now on, you must help me make money. I know you sell toys. In the future, your toys can be displayed in my store, and the proceeds from the sales belong to me. If you sell them elsewhere, 50% belongs to me.”
The woman said, “You give me water, and I’ll agree to everything.”
Later on, the woman’s toy business developed very well. She might even become the world’s largest toy trader, while the burly man lay back and earned easy money each day—the toy profits, more than half of them, ended up in the burly man’s pocket.
But the woman came up with a plan. At that time, she only said that the money from selling toys belonged to him. As for the money from setting up a stall with the toys, renting the toys, and collecting taxes from toy distributors—those amounts were never said to belong to him. So she would just grow those parts bigger. Then, in the future, she wouldn’t be afraid anymore.
Moreover, the county magistrate has recently been restless as well, saying he would draft a clear bill and seriously crack down to establish firm rules. But some of the clauses made the burly man extremely sensitive—he often jumped out to oppose them. Fortunately, though, it has finally been nearing finalization recently.
The woman didn’t say much. She focused on doing her business well, and she also hoped that the rules would become clearer, so it would be easier to expand even more in the future.
The woman is $CRCL , and the burly man is Coinbase.
And as for me, I am one of Jiangnan’s four major financiers: Dayu.
