How about the Forbes 30 Under 30 "Elite List" that blockchain tycoons are keen on?
Recently, "Forbes" announced the list of "Asia's 30 Under 30 Elite List" in 2019. A number of blockchain leaders were selected, among which Shuaichu, the leader of Quantum Chain Qtum, was once again selected as Forbes' 30 "Elite Under 30" list". Shuai Chu was selected for the first time in Forbes China's 30 Under 30 elite list in 2017. It was officially announced that Shuai Chu (29 years old) entered the consumer technology industry elite list as the founder/CEO of Qtum; The co-founder of Foundation entered the elite list of enterprise technology industry.It is not difficult to see that Shuai Chu's identity has changed from the founder/CEO of Qtum to the co-founder of Qtum Foundation. The reason for the change around him has to be guessed to be related to the policy red line. The industry has also changed from consumer technology to enterprise technology, but the age is still so young at 29 years old.
The 2017 Forbes China and 2019 Forbes Asia 30 "Elite List" under the age of 30 both recognized that Shuaichu was selected at the age of 29. No matter who made a low-level mistake of age data statistics, people could not help but doubt the professionalism of Forbes. Forbes and So what about 30 Under 30?
The newly formed low-threshold "GEM"
Forbes 30 Under 30 is a list of the 30 under 30 Americans (now including the United States and Canada) launched by Forbes magazine in 2011, and then Forbes launched regional lists in non-Asia and Europe. The Asian list will select as many as 300 elites in 10 fields every year. If the US list and the European list are included, then 1,200 elites will be selected each year. As time goes on, the selected elites will continue to accumulate, and it is inevitable that some outstanding elites will stand out in the future, but most of the people on the list will eventually fade away.Compared with the Forbes Rich List, which ranks the existing rich, Forbes America and Continents 30 Under 30 is more like a newly established stock market "GEM" with lower thresholds.
As for the Forbes China "30 Under 30" elite list, it was first launched in 2012. On December 31, 2015, the media team of the Chinese version of "Forbes" magazine suddenly announced the official disbandment; after 11 months, the joint publication of Forbes Chinese version magazine in November-December symbolized the restart, and the 2016 Forbes China 30 Under 30 also Hence the interruption. On July 20, 2017, Forbes China was re-released in Shenzhen, and the so-called Forbes China is just the Forbes Chinese website.Compared with Forbes 30 Under 30 in each continent, which has a lower threshold, Forbes China 30 Under 30 has the same ups and downs as its main brand.
China's chaotic list
The 2018 Forbes China 30 Under 30 is simply a carnival of liars, and omissions can be seen everywhere in the review of the candidates and the release of the list. Last year, Silicon Stars from the self-media published an article that broke the news that the elites of the financial and financial sub-list had intensive fund-raising and usury, the elites of the travel sub-list had serious purchases, and digital entrepreneurs plagiarized. Compared with these major omissions in the review, the biggest oolong in the list is Yao Kunjie, the co-founder/CEO of Beimi Wallet. As early as half a month before the release of the list on August 2, the Xuhui Branch of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau notified the measures against Yao Kunjie. Criminal coercive measures, but he was still selected by Forbes China 30 Under 30.
This can also explain the low-level mistake of age statistics mentioned at the beginning of the article. The low-threshold "GEM" and the chaotic Chinese version are mother-child relationships in name. Who can laugh at who is not professional?So which blockchain tycoons have "topped" and "Xiti" Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list?
The closure and restart of Forbes China, the chaos of Forbes 30 Under 30, why does the Forbes family tolerate damage to the reputation of the main brand?
dramatic prostitution
Forbes couldn't take care of himself, from declining income to prostitution."Forbes" (English: Forbes) was founded in 1917. It is a business magazine in the United States. It is issued by Forbes Inc. (Forbes, Inc.) every two weeks, with original articles on topics such as finance, industry, investment and marketing The article is famous. Forbes also covers technology, communications, science and the law, among other fields. In 2013, Forbes Magazine's ad revenue fell 5 percent to $260 million. In November, the Forbes family, owners of Forbes magazine, officially announced that it would sell the magazine. In July 2014, VC Whale Media Investment Company took over most of the shares sold by Forbes Media and reached a relevant agreement. VC Whale Media Investment Company is an Asian investment company formed by Xie Weiqi, the co-founder of ASUS Computer, and Ren Dezhang, the former chairman of Fenglin Group. composed of. Steve Forbes, chairman of Forbes Media, said "the majority stake was sold, representing more than 51%". Less than three months after the deal was announced, IP Whale was accused of failing to make a quarterly interest payment. In November of the following year, another dramatic scene took place in this transaction. The Forbes family filed a complaint in the Delaware court in the United States, demanding that CB Whale Media Investment Co., Ltd. perform the contract and pay.
There are two mainstream views in the market regarding this incident of prostitution. One point of view is that this intricate prostitution agreement has damaged the interests of the Forbes family.Part of the funds used by ICWhale Media Investment Co., Ltd. to acquire Forbes Media came from loans from the Forbes family. On October 1, 2014, Benhui Whale Media Investment Co., Ltd. was accused of failing to repay a quarterly loan interest on schedule.
Another view is that Forbes was not worth the price, which caused the buyer to default.A reporter from The Wall Street Journal once commented on Forbes' sale price of US$475 million: "For an American investor, it is unimaginable to buy even half of the transaction price." for $175 million.
Forbes is no longer the original Forbes. No matter who controls it, profit is its most urgent goal, and Forbes 30 Under 30 is very likely to be a new business developed for profit.Reference article:
