On January 28, the topic of "a billionaire with a net worth of 40 billion is the president of the Shanghai Egg Association" appeared on the hot search.
According to reports, the chairman of Oriental Fortune was actually elected as the chairman of the first council of the Shanghai Egg Breaking Sports Association.
In fact, his original name was Shen Jun, who graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University with a bachelor's degree in engineering. However, because he started trading stocks in college, he formed a fate with the capital market.
When asked what the name "actually" means, he once replied: "My first job after graduating from college was in a futures company, and I would publish some articles on the futures market at that time, so I took the homonym 'actually' of the futures market as a pen name, and I used it all the time. ”
The name was first known because of his brilliant stock review articles.
Later, in fact, the Oriental Wealth Network was founded, and then the "Stock Bar" and "Daily Fund Network" were launched. Oriental Fortune slowly obtained a full license for brokerage, and was once called "Bond Mao" by shareholders. In fact, with a wealth of 60 billion yuan, I also ranked 66th in the "2023 Hurun Report".
And this time the name "actually" was hotly discussed again, not because of stock reviews or Oriental Wealth, but because of "eggs".
It is worth mentioning that, not only in fact, but also the vice president, secretary general and other positions of the association are also held by the "big guys", either the chairman, executive director or general manager.
Eggs, it's really hot. In recent years, egg hunting has become a popular card game across the country, and it has become a "compulsory course" in the financial world. Some people jokingly say, "Eating without eggs is equivalent to eating for nothing."
However, under the hot search, many netizens said that they didn't know what an egg was, saying, "I thought it was an egg scramble!"
Egg cracking originated in Huai'an, Jiangsu, "掼" has the meaning of falling, smashing, "egg" is "bomb". Whenever people shoot powerful "bombs", get emotional and smash them crackling, they have the name "Egg". The game is played in pairs with two decks of poker, with wins and losses escalating.
With the rise in popularity of egg hunting in recent years, it was also listed as a "performance project" in the National Mind Games held last year. The Chess and Card Center of the General Administration of Sports has also piloted the competitive egg breaking project, and gradually turned the egg breaking into a formal sports standard.
To what extent is the egg cracking? Some people in the financial industry made this comparison to Yijian Finance:
In the past, in high-end business hotels, the standard configuration of the box was a table and a tea table, but now these boxes have added a special card table for beating eggs.
He said, "In the past, when we played Texas Hold'em, the bosses were playing Texas Hold'em, but now everyone is playing eggs. I have to play a few games before eating, and after eating, I can't get enough of it, and then I play a few more rounds. It's not uncommon to work all night when you're energetic. ”
Regarding the change from playing Texas Hold'em to playing eggs, a business executive said, "I used to go out all the time in Texas Hold'em, but now the Texas Hold'em games are all scattered." Texas Hold'em always has to fold, endure and endure and not play fiercely enough!", and the egg, even the name has the meaning of "throwing bombs", which must be even more exciting.
Even, the egg has become a kind of "social currency". An industry insider revealed, "Sometimes I want to meet with the bosses of some companies, make an appointment for dinner and tea, but the other party is not interested." But as soon as it was said that it was a beating, the other party immediately agreed. ”
He smiled bitterly, "So some people in the circle joked that it is best to form a four-person game now, because the egg is played by four people." ”
It can be said that if you learn to beat eggs, you will master the "social password". There is an easy-to-understand slip of the tongue that circulates in the circle-
If you beat the eggs well, it shows that you have brains
Cracking eggs is fine, indicating clear thinking
The eggs are carefully calculated, which shows that they understand the economy
The eggs are not afraid of frying, which shows that they are bold
If you win, you don't squeak, which means that the city is deep
As a result, financial institutions have learned to break eggs and organized various egg breaking competitions. It is said that the gift boxes given to customers by some brokerages have become egg poker gift boxes.
And the popularity of the egg is not limited to the financial circle. A media person talked about egg breaking to Yijian Finance, "In the past two years, I have participated in media activities organized by enterprises, financial enterprises, wine companies, manufacturing enterprises, etc., and the organizers like to arrange for everyone to play a few rounds of eggs before the event. ”
During the eleventh day last year, some netizens encountered Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi, and Qiu Bojun, founder of Kingsoft software, beating eggs in Chengdu.
When Xiaopeng's humanoid robot was unveiled, the founder He Xiaopeng also jokingly said, "I believe that when I am old, the robot can beat eggs with me and help me change diapers." ”
Some people say that beating eggs is a brand product to see character. At one event, a corporate executive joking, who was playing eggs, joked, "If you win or lose in a row, I won't play with you next time." Cracking eggs is also a tool for looking at people. ”
Today, the company has also established an association, and the chairman is also the chairman of the listed brokerage. I don't know which circle the wind of egg breaking will blow from the financial circle to in 24 years.
