Many people think Zou Shiming is simply failing at starting a business, but the rumored news is thought-provoking. Multiple business lines at the Shanghai boxing gym were handed over to his wife’s relatives: renovation at 8 million, 3 million for crystal chandeliers, and 4.5 million for security services. The quotes are far higher than market prices. The security services for the whole year were provided by the wife’s younger brother, so some people believe the wife used Zou’s money to send benefits to her natal family.

This is a bit confusing. This property is marital joint property, and there are two children—so it’s hard to simply conclude that there was a deliberate transfer of benefits to the wife’s natal family. A greater possibility is that the couple was schemed against by people around them.

A big boss said: “You can’t feel how dangerous the world is because you’re too poor. When your net worth reaches 10 million, among the 10 people around you, 5 are scammers, 3 want to plot against you, and the other 2 keep neutral. People who can stay neutral are already exceptionally well-mannered. As your personal strength gradually becomes more visible, your own value keeps increasing, which makes it easier to trigger the evil in human nature—people with ulterior motives who hide beside you will become more and more.”

The value of the quote above is still increasing. If one day you happen to make money in the crypto circle, first, don’t brag; second, don’t easily trust people around you—stay vigilant against sinister human intentions.
