Host: Hello everyone, I am Orange, the host of tonight. Today I am very happy to invite Uncle Qi to be the guest of the live broadcast room of Preaching Jianghu, so first of all, let me briefly introduce Uncle Qi to you.

Uncle Qi is a cornerstone investor of HAOLIAN, a partner of Phoenix Capital, and a member of the blockchain committee.

Now let's welcome tonight's guest Uncle Qi.

Uncle Qi: Good evening, everyone.

Host: OK, let's get to the point. First of all, the first question: Blockchain and digital currency are becoming more and more popular. There have been many projects on the market that use blockchain technology to build recruitment platforms. There are not many recruitment and education platforms like HAOLIAN that specialize in the blockchain industry. What factors led HAOLIAN to choose to create such a blockchain online education platform? What are the special advantages of HAOLIAN over blockchain training institutions and university courses on the market?

Uncle Qi: I think it is right for professional platforms to do professional things. The HAOLIAN platform provides blockchain companies with tailor-made blockchain talents and provides incentives for learners, enterprises, and platform teachers. This is an innovation of the system of traditional education platforms, allowing all participants in the platform to obtain rewards by realizing their own value, and based on smart contracts, it can protect the rights and interests of all participants, even including intellectual property rights and the right of enterprises to make independent choices.

Based on blockchain technology, a credible education platform can be created, so that the roles on the chain can fully protect their own rights and contribute their strength to the greatest extent. For blockchain training institutions and university courses on the market, each role on the HAOLIAN platform is decentralized, and content can be published on the platform after passing the review. There will be no knowledge damage and companies cannot recruit corresponding employees. Based on the future development prospects of the blockchain industry, I believe that creating a credible blockchain education platform will definitely provide the most solid foundation for this industry.

Host: OK, thank you for your answer. As the demand for blockchain talents grows, blockchain education becomes more and more important. Talent training also stimulates the market to produce many training institutions, and many universities now offer related courses. According to surveys and reports, the average monthly salary of blockchain talents in many places has reached tens of thousands, and blockchain-related professions have obviously become high-paying professions. What scale will the blockchain talent and related education market reach in the future?

Uncle Qi: In fact, with the development of blockchain, Alibaba, Tencent, Qihoo 360, Aerospace Information (state-owned enterprise), Bitmain, etc. have begun to recruit blockchain technicians in large numbers, which may be a sign that blockchain technology will appear in mainstream products. We have also gradually seen many signs of an outbreak. First, the continuous development of the basic main chain, the emergence of Ethereum sharding design, and the rapid growth of EOS Dapp; then the emergence of popular applications, Fomo3D and PiexlMaster are popular, and these applications all show the charm and advantages of decentralization. Friends who have been paying attention to this industry should be able to find that the number of blockchain positions has begun to take shape, and many companies have set up special research groups for blockchain to use technology to innovate the pain points of traditional fields, so there are four main personnel needs.

1) Blockchain Product Manager

2) Smart contracts, algorithm development, and consensus mechanism development

3) Transform the underlying traditional large platforms into blockchain

4) Management, marketing, and publicity positions that require blockchain thinking

According to CoinMarketCap, the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies reached $382 billion in June this year, and Gartner predicts that blockchain's global business value added will reach $176 billion by 2025. The market further predicts that the industry's value will see astronomical growth, accumulating $2.8 trillion in the years leading up to 2030. As industries and economies continue to align their focus with blockchain technology, the number of jobs associated with blockchain development has seen a staggering increase. In the six years from the beginning of 2013 to 2018, jobs in the blockchain arena increased by a staggering 139%, and this number continues to increase.

Moderator: OK, back to HAOLIAN, are there any thresholds for blockchain companies and talents to register on the HAOLIAN platform? What are the HAOLIAN standards? What is the operating logic of the platform?

Uncle Qi: There must be certain requirements for this, but it’s not a threshold yet. Considering the development of blockchain, the practical application of technology and the needs of different industries, we still have to carry out the first batch of registrations for some companies and talents that are most suitable for Haolian. After all, not all companies are suitable for blockchain technology at this stage, so we will have corresponding audits. After all, we have to lay a solid foundation first to really do something.

Then there are standards. In fact, our standards are mainly formulated around suitability and application. In other words, we want to tailor our products to the needs of the market. To put it bluntly, we would rather have nothing than something of poor quality and only strive to be excellent so that we can truly help those in need. We should not be like the stories that were flying around in the past two years, saying that they wanted to change the world but ended up not being able to change themselves. That would be meaningless.

The operating logic of the platform is mainly intelligent incentives, that is, using the blockchain reward system to connect blockchain companies and learners through HAOLIAN. The HAOLIAN platform will provide blockchain industry training certificates.

Blockchain companies will provide HAOLIAN as sponsorship to determine the maximum number of applicants, creation date and course period, and then the course will start recruiting learners. Blockchain companies can set specific reward schemes for learners to ensure the participation of all learners. At the same time, the platform provides detailed tracking and monitoring. Blockchain companies will be able to find the performance records of learners' learning courses at any time through this system. The intelligent incentive system will provide accurate learning reward guarantees. The introduction of HAOLIAN coins will enable us to provide financial rewards to any learner in the world, which is almost impossible in the traditional field, so the entire operation of our platform is still based on incentives to combine upstream and downstream groups to serve more companies and learners.

Moderator: Each project has its own unique token distribution mechanism. How is HAOLIAN's token distribution mechanism set? The white paper states that the team and developers account for 40%, ecological incentives account for 15%, management committee funds account for 20%, and 25% is used for issuance. What is the logic of this distribution?

Uncle Qi: In order to effectively stimulate community building and achieve the growth and prosperity of the HAOLIAN ecosystem, the total issuance of HAOLIAN is 360 million pieces, and there will never be additional issuance.

◆ Founding team and core developers 40%: To maintain the team's enthusiasm for continuous development of the HAOLIAN project.

Polarity and enthusiasm, the project will reserve 40% as team incentives, which will be fully locked.

3% will be released after completion, and the remaining part will continue to be locked for at least 2 years.

◆ Ecological incentive fund 15%: This part is mainly used for the entire ecological construction of the project in the phased process, and the recipients are mainly community participants who have contributed to HAOLIAN. Because the HAOLIAN Foundation wants to make this project global, we sincerely hope to welcome more capable people from all walks of life to participate in this project.

◆20% of the management committee fund: Considering the long-term operation of the project, this 20% is reserved and locked for 18 months. Then the foundation will gradually release a small amount according to the actual situation, mainly to ensure the normal operation of the project.

◆ 25% issuance: mainly for global educational institutions, digital currency communities, ecological investors, and community builders, and will be issued in stages. Because local policies in different countries are different, the whitelists, private placement and crowdfunding stages are also different. Considering that we want community builders from more countries to join, build the HAOLIAN ecosystem together, and create a modern education ecosystem.

Our ultimate goal is to repurchase with profits and continuously destroy until the circulation accounts for about 8% of the total issuance. I believe that friends who have been paying attention can keep up with HAOLIAN and build a high-consensus community.

Host: I heard that the HaoChain Development Fund has recently been registered with the Blockchain Association and was named an excellent education industry chain reform unit. This is really good news for users and friends in the community!

Uncle Qi: Yes! Haolian Holdings Technology Development Fund mainly operates the HAOLIAN blockchain training platform (HAOLIANChain). Currently, Haolian Holdings Technology Development Fund has won the Blockchain Education Platform Innovation Award issued by the Blockchain Branch of the China Software Industry Association, and the application has been registered. This is another affirmation of the HAOLIAN platform's exploration in the field of blockchain technology.

Moderator: OK, can you briefly introduce the future plans of the HaoChain platform to us? Or describe the platform's goals? For example, to become the No. 1 in the field of blockchain technology training?

Uncle Qi: Talking about planning is a bit like telling a story. Actually, I am a straightforward person. There must be planning, one quarter, one year, two years, five years, but not everything will go smoothly, especially when you want to do something big. Plans cannot change as fast as they do. The only thing that does not change in this world is that it keeps changing. So I think I can talk about planning for an hour now, but you may not be willing to listen. I think you should be more concerned about what you can get from Haolian. To sum up, Haolian is to change the pain points of blockchain talent training and export real blockchain talents to real companies. We don’t want to be NUMBE1. We only want to be second or third. Even if we are the first, I will always admit that we are the second and third in this industry and field. This is the goal, and it is the only goal.

Host: Let me ask Uncle Qi a deeper question about the entire blockchain industry. In which fields do you think blockchain will be applied in 2020? What is the future of blockchain? When will the qualitative change and turning point occur?

Uncle Qi: This year is a very special year. Both the global economy and people's livelihood are facing great challenges and tests. The biggest application scenario at the moment is also the most difficult challenge, which is education and medical care, as well as the disclosure and transparency of some information.

However, it is still relatively difficult to make certain information truly open and transparent in various countries. So I think the two application scenarios that can be recognized and truly applied are education and medical care. These are two application scenarios that I personally am very optimistic about.

As for the future, it is a big thing. Everyone knows that my country has officially begun to promote the development of blockchain last year, but it will take about two years to truly popularize and widely use it. I personally think that after all, this year is not very peaceful, and it is also because of this year that there is a high probability that some excellent blockchain projects will be born in the second half of the year to solve the common problems facing the world today, so I think there will be a big turning point in the second half of this year and in 2021.

After a global problem emerges, there will definitely be a very painful and difficult process, and then a new round of industry reshuffle will appear. At this time, it depends on who has an active mind, who can see it accurately, and who can persevere to the end. It is just like the cryptocurrency circle. Now no one is cutting leeks, because leeks have experienced too much and have become steel bars, which cannot be easily cut. Therefore, more project parties are willing to treat each other sincerely and do some practical things. Real win-win is the greatest benefit. This process will be more difficult, but the result will definitely be good. On the contrary, many people are most afraid of themselves.

Host: Why did HAOLIAN choose WBF Exchange this time?

Uncle Qi: WBF is an international exchange and the world's first digital asset exchange with a "coin listing bell ringing" venue and ceremony. Their users come from 177 countries around the world, and they have branches in 13 cities including New York, London, Ho Chi Minh City, Seoul, and Tokyo. They have media resources covering more than 4,000 companies around the world, and are committed to continuously building a super "traffic empire" in the entire industry. They are considered last year's dark horse exchange. Now the number of registered users has reached 4 million, and the highest daily active users have reached 160,000. At the same time, their exchange adheres to the principle of "user first", constantly iterating the underlying technical architecture, and improving user experience. This is why we chose them this time! I hope to have more cooperation with the WBF exchange in the future!

Host: HAOLIAN is listed on the Singapore WBF Exchange this time. Are there any benefits for everyone?

Uncle Qi: There must be a lot of welfare activities! For example, on the 7th, 8th, and 9th, from 2 to 3 pm every day, we have discount activities, and the discount is up to 40%. You can go and buy it, the opportunity should not be missed. At the same time, we will also open Wattbao on the 9th. You can log in to Watt’s app to check the specific rate of return. I quietly tell you that the rate of return is very high! Not only that, we will continue to send HAOLIAN red envelopes and various airdrop activities in the group. Please continue to pay attention to us HAOLIAN and pay attention to wbf’s announcements!

Host: That's great, I believe everyone will pay attention to it! Okay, then we are entering the end of the live broadcast. I believe that many HAOLIAN supporters will have a lot of expectations for the launch of WBF Exchange. In this regard, is there anything HAOLIAN would like to talk to everyone in advance?

Uncle Qi: We have a long-term plan for HAOLIAN. From the initial landing on the FT exchange to the current listing on WBF, from the price of 0.15U to the current 1U, I think this is just a milestone for HAOLIAN, not the end, because we have built hundreds of high-consensus communities along the way, and I think the price of 1U is just the beginning for HAOLIAN. In the second half of the year, the HAOLIAN platform main network will be launched, and two educational institutions in Singapore will be acquired at the same time. There are also many ecological layouts. I will keep it a secret here. I hope that more and more people will pay attention to HAOLIAN and participate in the HAOLIAN platform ecology. Together, we will push HAOLIAN to a bigger stage.

Host: OK, our live broadcast ends here. Thank you Uncle Qi for sharing with us. I believe everyone can learn more about HAOLIAN. I hope HAOLIAN and WBF can get better and better~

We would also like to thank the following media friends for their strong support. The ranking is in no particular order.
