Wu Says Author: Colin Wu
This article is an interview with Huang Yifeng, the editor-in-chief of Wu Shuo Blockchain, on October 12.
Zhang Yufeng was called “Little Pony Huateng” by the media. Many authoritative media reported that he donated 50 million yuan to Shenzhen University one year after graduation.But then it was revealed that the resume was faked in large quantities, and in fact there was no donation, and even did not graduate normally, owed online loans, forged FTX employees, etc.
But what is even more surprising is that after Zhang Yufeng gained the trust of alumni in the past year, he frequently asked for money from his acquaintances in the name of investing in “plates”. After the specified time expired, he did not return it on time. For this reason, many victims even called the police.In order to avoid more people being deceived, Zhang Yufeng, senior of Shenzhen University, Huang Yifeng, decided to stand up and expose this “professional liar” with real name.
Huang Yifeng said that Zhang Yufeng claimed that he had some currency circle plates that could double within a few months.After the investment of his friends expired, Zhang Yufeng began to default and found many ridiculous excuses, such as being hospitalized in Hong Kong.After several victims called the police, Zhang Yufeng’s parents who opened a printing factory in Dongguan helped repay part of the debt.Zhang Yufeng’s rental house at No. 1 Shenzhen Bay was warned for owing rent.Zhang Yufeng even owed 6,000 yuan in online loans.

The interview summary is as follows:
Huang Yifeng: Let me first talk about my background. I am from the 17th grade of Shenzhen University. I am considered Zhang Yufeng’s senior (Zhang Yufeng enrolled in Shenzhen University in 2018).I met Zhang Yufeng in 2021. I was starting a business, and by chance, he added me on WeChat because of some reasons for entrepreneurship subsidies.
I have been chatting with him from 21 to 24 years. He often shares some things that look amazing on his circle of friends, such as taking a Sequoia offer and taking a photo with FTX founder SBF.He even said that he made Sequoia’s LP and gave Sequoia tens of millions.He also (professed to) buy a Ferrari.Since the beginning of 22 years, he has created a very awesome image for himself.
To be fair, I am a very familiar person. With the background of donating 50 million yuan to Shenzhen University, I would give a considerable amount of money to such a person without signing a contract. It is probably such a person.Condition.
At the end of 23, I officially understood or entered the cryptocurrency industry, and then I talked to Zhang Yufeng and kept communicating in the middle.Around May this year, he said that he had some plates in his hand and the profit was very good. He asked me to give him 1 million. It might help me double it in a quarter and turn it into several million. Finally, I will return the money to it.I can use it to improve my life, or to be a basic fund for a market maker.
I gave him a total of about 840,000 in early May this year, around May Day.
Colin: When did you find something wrong and ask him to get the money back?
Huang Yifeng: Our normal rule is to send me money to one quarter. At that time, in early May, we agreed that the money would be sent back to me before July 25. He promised me at that time: AnywayThis money cannot be lost. If he loses it, he will return the principal to me.
Colin: Why do you trust him so much, even without a contract?
Huang Yifeng: From 22 to 24 years, first of all, we are very familiar with each other and often chat, but in the end we didn’t expect that he only deceived acquaintances; second, we are all alumni of Shenzhen University; third, he donated 50 million yuan to Shenzhen University, II think it cannot be fake.Basically, all the victims are in the same situation as mine, which is the above three reasons.
I have read the report Wu said at that time more than five times to be honest.When I handed him money in May this year, I read the report Wu said again, but I finally chose to believe this person.
Because I thought at the time, a liar could not have cheated me for so long, from 22 years to now.His information, identity and background are very consistent.I saw a lot of negative news, but I didn’t believe it at the time.
Colin: Then when did you start to doubt?
Huang Yifeng: It is when his principal repayment is delayed.Because our first issue agreed on July 25, he took the initiative to mention to me that the market has not been very good recently and that it is a little bit less, so we will postpone it until August 20.In mid-July, a child posted a tweet, and slowly, many victims contacted the key person, and I knew the whole story.
There are about ten known victims like me, and the timeline is probably starting from September 2013, with a known amount of more than 3 million.As far as I know, most of the principal of most people has been returned, but there is still at least 200,000 yuan that some people have not obtained because this person has been chasing him.
In fact, someone has called the police. At that time, there was a debt of about 1 million yuan. It was Zhang Yufeng who owed him a college classmate. Then the man called the police and went straight to the door to find Zhang Yufeng and his family. Then Zhang Yufeng’s family put the 100 yuan in his house.I got it back ten thousand.Some of the victims were his childhood friends who had been familiar with since high school and had graduated on a trip together.His family does run a printing factory.
Colin: How did Zhang Yufeng create his personal image?
Huang Yifeng: He is a professional liar.From 22 years to now, he has created this kind of character, that is, he is very rich, such as Stanford’s admission certificate, such as his OKX account, which has tens of millions of U, which are often shown to people.
I think his paranoia is unquestionable.He also said that he met Musk and was the top ten shareholders of Tesla.
I have been to his home in No. 1, Shenzhen. First, he told me that he bought it, but later he found that he rented it, and finally found that he was still owed the rent and was posted.
Before and after he donated 23 years, he already owed online loans, which cost only 6,000 yuan. He urgently contacted him to fill out a phone number for sending his childhood friend, and the online loan company called him to sending his childhood friend.
I think Shenzhen University was also cheated (scamdling). Before donating, the dean of their college also invited Zhang Yufeng to give some speeches.What are the road to wealth freedom and how to get the Sequoia offer?
Colin: Why did you come out and expose him?
Huang Yifeng: If I don’t expose it, more people will definitely be deceived.In fact, there are many small episodes in the middle, such as he asked me to go to Hong Kong, and then asked me to go to Singapore, and then they all took me to do it.还不上钱的时候，他说自己心肌炎去香港住院，然后体检费五万块钱，住院费十万块钱，他私人飞机还因此取消了，又扣了十万块钱的定金。His father entered the ICU with myocarditis.他妈妈又生病，各种各样的理由去推。
His ancestral home is from Meizhou, but he is from Dongguan.他只骗身边的人，只骗最熟的那批人。It’s really exaggerated.他一些实习是买的，有一些实习可能是编的。There are two transfer records for purchasing internships.
据朋友转述，起码有两拨人找到他父母要钱。His father doesn’t want to pay it back. He thinks that his son can cheat money is his ability. Just don’t mess with me. His father has this mentality. His mother may be kinder. After a year, he will pay back the money one after another.Got on.
Colin: Actually, this matter is not complicated.Zhang Yufeng may have some paranoia. He has no money to spend and his family no longer pays money, so he asks people around him to find an excuse to borrow money.
Huang Yifeng: I think so, but there are some very bad parts in the process, such as just lying to the people around you, which is a bit contrary to human nature.I have always been curious about how many people he deceived after he opened the Knowledge Planet.The podcast that the employee of the Little Universe deribit also deceived many people.
