When he first learned about Bitcoin in 2013, he was only 18 years old. At that time, he was still a young man who stayed up all night playing games before the college entrance examination, and even fell asleep during the comprehensive science exam. When telling this story, he seemed a bit crazy: "I did well throughout high school, but I only scored less than 600 points and went directly to Liaoning University."
After burying his fears in his heart, this intelligent and hardworking young man turned them into infinite motivation to inspire himself. Since his sophomore year, Zheng Haosheng has started his own business. At that time, from campus media to entrepreneurial cafes, he started to catch up with the wave of Internet entrepreneurship. "A person's energy should be infinite. As long as you want to do something, you can definitely do it."
At the age of 23, he considered any "can't" as an excuse to escape. During his entire college career, he not only managed his entrepreneurial projects successfully, but also exceeded expectations by completing a second degree in addition to his major, with a double degree in electronics and finance, and graduated with excellent grades, ranking fourth in his class.
"I am not someone who seeks a stable life. I want to find an opportunity, seize it, and do something I truly love and find valuable."
"Qianbihou" Zheng Haosheng: The arrival of a 95's road to financial freedom
Regarding the opportunity after Qianbihou:
After graduating, Zheng Haosheng has been working in the Internet industry. Because he is in an industry that is relatively open to information, Zheng Haosheng can easily access emerging things. When he learned about Bitcoin and Ethereum, it was like Columbus discovering a new continent. He was so excited that he almost went crazy. Nothing had ever made him so crazy before, so he decided to give it his all. He quit his job and started studying the market.
For a long time after that, Zheng Haosheng struggled in this roller coaster market, from the initial surge in funds to being cut off later, from the initial rebound to the perfect operation, he struggled until the end, and his funds tripled. Feeling the sweetness of success, Zheng Haosheng became confident and even started investing with friends, promising to double their investment in a month.
The arrival of the first waterfall
On May 26th, less than half a month after the financing, the cryptocurrency market crashed like a tsunami, although it is not considered a crash now. The Litecoin he heavily invested in had fallen to around 175 (while his cost was 268). At this point, Zheng Haosheng, who was already preparing to sell, saw a well-known Weibo influencer promoting an imminent rebound. Although he knew it wouldn't rise, he couldn't resist the temptation of insider information. He risked everything and bought more, but luck was not on his side. The price dropped to 120, and Zheng Haosheng felt completely lost in the market.
What should he do with the money his friends invested with him? How should he respond to his parents' trust in him? These questions troubled him all night long. Every time he opened his eyes, he saw that he was losing hundreds of Litecoins, which made Zheng Haosheng feel depressed. He had made money in the cryptocurrency market, but now he had lost almost everything in less than a month.
Reality dealt a heavy blow to Zheng Haosheng, and two months of a sluggish market almost wiped out his savings. When chatting with his classmates, he found that a classmate with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan had saved up to 100,000 yuan, while his assets were negative. This situation made him consider leaving the secondary market and finding a stable job. "I have been through a lot and worked very hard, but in the end, I achieved nothing. At this point, my mentality was very bad." He made serious misjudgments about the market, which dealt a fatal blow to Zheng Haosheng.
Things took a turn
Just when Zheng Haosheng wanted to leave the cryptocurrency market and find a stable job, his friends found him. Their companionship and conversations helped Zheng Haosheng stabilize his mind, and he redefined his goals and positioning. Without giving himself too much time to be depressed, Zheng Haosheng monitored the market for more than 18 hours a day, started looking for patterns in the cryptocurrency market, and expanded his network. It was from this point that things began to turn around.
With a background in finance and engineering, Zheng Haosheng gained experience in the volatile market. He withstood the pressure and grew rapidly. With an upgraded understanding of the market, after the regulatory policies were introduced on September 4th, he made the right moves and achieved financial success.
Looking back on that period of time, Zheng Haosheng considers it a valuable treasure. "Everyone has to go through a lot of things to grow in this market. If you ask me what supported me during those difficult years, there was no other way for me to go. I had no other choice." Zheng Haosheng repeated it twice.
"In fact, we all know where the problem lies. Most people blame external factors, but I declared war on myself."
Life is not a wasted journey, every step counts. For Zheng Haosheng, although he is a young person born in 1995, his "experience" should not be underestimated. As for the title of "Qianbihou" for those born in 1995, Zheng Haosheng neither confirms nor denies it: "I am not considered successful, I am just relatively lucky." However, luck is sometimes a modest way of referring to one's abilities. "I don't think I can compare myself to people of the same age. I should compare myself to people with similar experiences. Among those with similar experiences, I am nothing special." From the beginning, Zheng Haosheng placed himself in a broader arena, and he is confident and determined. Now, he has also gained stability and sincerity. Life is a long journey, and 95's Zheng Haosheng will continue to run.
Sometimes people only see the dazzling fireworks and hear the hoarse cicadas, but they overlook the long preparation and silence behind the moment of brilliance. People applaud the successful, not just envy their glory, but also cheer for them as ordinary people who have achieved their goals after going through dark times. Because, everything they have achieved is something you can also obtain.
So, what kind of people does the world reward? Everyone may have different answers. From Zheng Haosheng's experience, we can draw this conclusion: be brave, be open, be sincere. The world will definitely reward such people in any form.
