June 2022, New York, USA.

The bustling streets of Manhattan are busier than usual. A large global blockchain conference will be held here soon, bringing together blockchain practitioners from all over the world, who will spend four rich and wonderful days here.

In addition to the official activities in several buildings of the main venue, many project parties and communities will also take advantage of the popularity of the conference to hold satellite events in various corners of the city.

Delighted, I wore SE thin soled ballet shoes and carried YSL's white envelope all the way. Because I went to two satellite activities temporarily, the roof party I'm going to has started.

This event hosted by Asian web3 community is invitational. My application was approved the day before the event, so I received the specific location of the event.

Boy, I finally caught up. A line of ten people lined up in front of the glass main door of a building. My friend J, whom I just met at the last activity, and I were quietly at the end of the line. Little J is a commercial real estate expert in New York. She is a perfect professional dress with exquisite makeup. She looks like a sister to me in a dark red V-neck dress.

Suddenly, the crowd made a small commotion. When I saw it, I immediately recognized the Asian man in his forties, Andrew Y! He began to talk with several people who came up to him to say hello. I decided to come forward and talk to this famous American politician.

"Hi Andrew! I'm Xinxin, the founder of a game project, and KOL on Twitter. Nice to meet you."

After shaking my hand, I was about to leave when he smiled a standard smile and asked me, "Do you want to take a group photo?"

He must want to rub my traffic as an online celebrity, but what does that matter. When people see our group photos, they will only think of "God, he is a celebrity". This is the way the world flows. Fancy businesses blow each other's heads. Fancy flows.

Just after I posted ins, a fan enviously commented at the bottom of the post: "Damn."

I signed with little J and went into the hall to wait. Then, we, Andrew and some other invitees to the roof party, all of us crowded in the elevator of two square meters. A white boy was talking in high spirits, and casually mentioned that he graduated from Columbia University.

Me: "Oh, what a coincidence! Me too."

The boy didn't know whether he was upset that I stole the limelight or why, he turned his back to me and asked quickly, "Are you from CC? Are you an undergraduate or a graduate student?"

This is too Columbia. Two sentences make the chain of contempt clear. I was about to respond when the elevator door opened and everyone rushed out.

Little J deserves to be a local villain. As soon as he entered the arena, he met many acquaintances and introduced them to me one by one.

The quality of this activity is very high, and every participant has a little head start, such as the well-known online celebrities with millions of fans, the founders of web3 major projects, etc. Many people have known each other before, which is normal. Online celebrities and online celebrities play together, and entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs play together.

The sky on the roof is getting dark, and people form a circle of three or five, holding wine cups, talking and laughing. I followed my intuition to find the next person to talk to, pretended to be confident and said hello, introduced myself, and listened to what the other person was doing.

"Nice to meet you, Delighted! What our company does is pay agreement. If you have a need to distribute token to employees, please come to me. When will your product be launched?"

Me: "Sounds great! Our game will be online by the end of the year." I'm not sure whether I will use this service, but it's good to get to know it first and then get to know it later.

"That's great. Let's add the contact information."

I took out a small black plastic card and motioned to the other party to take the phone to get close to it. The card has inductive technology (NFC). One second later, the other party's mobile phone will pop up a link to our social media home page. She was very surprised, so I briefly explained the origin of this card.

Last year, when I invested in the primary market, I found this company that helps content creators realize their money. It has millions of users and is led by super first tier funds. One of their co founders was interested in my experience of doing We Media in China and invited me to the headquarters in San Francisco for lunch. After dinner, the 18 meter sunshine boy said he would give me a gift and hand me this customized card, which is limited to 100 in the world.

Of course, I didn't tell more stories. He said he admired me when he heard that I started to do projects by taking advantage of the popularity on the Internet, while taking into account our media and investment. That night he sent me a text message saying, "It sounds like you are on the right track." He also asked me how to explain what he was doing with his parents in Chinese.

I was naughty for a while: "Tell your parents to be proud of you and your products."

Or young and famous, or young and promising. In the emerging track like We Media and web3, the wave runners of the post-90s and post-00s are gradually emerging.
