"This kind of plot, TV dramas dare not shoot like this."

According to Weibo user "Yan Yuelong", members of Ketuan Zhan and many security guards came to Beijing Aobei Science and Technology Park yesterday (June 3) afternoon, and forcibly entered Bitmain by picking the lock.

No one expected Ketuan Zhan to return to Bitmain in such a way.

According to the news learned by Shenchao TechFlow, in the six months after the epidemic, employees of Beijing Bitmain worked from home.

On October 29 last year, Ketuan Zhan was blocked outside the company. After 7 months, he finally returned to the familiar office.

Ketuan Zhan stated in a Bitmain resignation group that employees who report to the office will receive a 10,000 yuan start-up red envelope.

At present, Ketuan Zhan and his employees have settled in Bitmain, including his assistant, the former Huawei HRD.

infighting sequel

Ever since the Haidian government affairs center "scrambled for a license" last time, everything had already been foreshadowed.

On May 21, on Maimai Job Talk, someone said: It is said that Boss Zhan is coming back?

Two days later, an employee certified as an employee of Beijing Bitmain said that he heard that Lao Zhan wanted to buy back options?

Sure enough, on June 3, someone discovered that Ketuan Zhan was calling Bitmain employees, trying to acquire options in their hands.

According to Wu Shuo’s blockchain disclosure, Ketuan Zhan is acquiring employee options at a valuation of around US$4 billion in an attempt to increase the proportion of shares and fight Wu Jihan on the board of directors.

However, Wu Jihan declared through "Hong Kong Bitmainland" that the company's original official seal is still valid, and Zhan Ketuan is suspected of forging the official seal.

In addition, on May 11, the main body of BitDeer's official WeChat account was changed from Tianjin Diwei Digital Technology Co., Ltd. to Tianjin Shunhua Technology Co., Ltd. Tianjin Shunhua is wholly owned by Chongqing Siyuan.

Previously, Deep Tide TechFlow issued an article "Bitmain Inland Re-Upgrade", stating that in early May, Bitmain employees were re-signing a labor agreement with Chongqing Siyuan Continental Technology Co., Ltd., and Chongqing Siyuan is wholly owned by Bitmain Singapore.

According to the latest news learned by TechFlow, the above-mentioned signing process was blocked because the governments of Beijing and Chongqing did not agree.

The establishment of Beijing Silicon Base Voyage seems to be Wu Jihan's new choice after the failure of his journey to the West.

Now it seems that Wu Jihan wants to take over Beijing Bitmain. On May 9, Wu Jihan responded to this matter on the side of Moments: This will not happen. The Chongqing company does not do research and development, and employees in Beijing will not relocate to Chongqing.

This is a negative example, and there is also such a possibility: the Beijing company will continue to do research and development, and Chongqing will set up a branch.

Panic

The interior of Bitmain is like an impenetrable wall, from which no light can penetrate.

According to the few words that came out, Bitmain is in chaos at this moment.

In addition to the rumors on the Internet that "40 big men snatched the business license" and "Ke Tuan Zhan took the security guard to pick the lock", there are also comments from Bitmain mainland employees fermenting on the Internet.

Layoffs are high-frequency words closely related to Jihan Wu.

In October last year, after Wu Jihan returned to Bitmain, he purged the employees of Ketuan Zhan, including half of the employees of the AI ​​​​department, in addition to the head of HR brought in by Ketuan Zhan from Huawei. There was panic inside the company.

Interestingly, after Bitmain's public relations team was almost completely withdrawn, Wu Jihan also sent a designer who was "inexperienced" to do external public relations.

At the moment, inside Bitmain, apart from Wu Jihan and Zhan Ketuan's cronies, there are more melon-eating people in the vortex.

Search Bitmain on Zhihu, Maimai and other platforms, and there are various speeches from Bitmain employees and former employees. The early speeches were biased towards Wu Jihan or Zhan Ketuan, but as the later stages, the mainland employees seem to be in a state of breaking their cans.

"The former owner was defeated by inflation and conspiracy. I hope that one party will go in and forget it, stop making trouble, and go public quickly." In Maimai Zhiyan, a former employee of Bitmain said.

"When Wu came to power, he could see how he was laid off. When Zhan came to power, he could see how the company ended." Another Bitmain employee said.

Bitmain's credibility among fresh graduates, job seekers, and job leavers has been greatly compromised.

From an internal point of view, due to the rapid loss of talents, Bitmain can no longer be activated and operated.

From the outside, Bitmain is also facing the enemy, not only to face the impact of Shenma mining machines, but also to calm the confidence of miners.

Who will save?

Tomorrow (June 6th) is the promised delivery time for the Antminer 19 series.

As the largest customer of Antminer, miner Liu Yun is still worried about the failure rate of the new machine. “They (antminers) showed us the improvement of the heat sink and solder paste, but we are still not very relieved.”

The Antminer 17+ series once taught him a good lesson. The 30% failure rate caused the machine to be repaired and shut down for at least one month, which brought immeasurable losses. Moreover, some mining machines were repaired and repaired again and again.

In Liu Yun’s view, the mining machines produced by Ant after the S9 are not very good. And Yang Zuoxing, the core engineer of S9, later went to found another mining machine manufacturer Shenma Mining Machine. The direct reason for Yang's departure was Ketuan Zhan's refusal to allocate enough shares.

In the bull market last year, when the price of Bitcoin rose, Whatsminer relied on "selling futures to get a deposit" and stable production, and competed with Antminer on a machine with a large computing power.

The sudden drop in market share, the unfavorable listing in the United States, and the tragic cut in valuation... These are the fuses that directly lead to the complete breakup between Wu Jihan and Zhan Ketuan.

After Wu Jihan returned, under the influence of the epidemic and the halving of Bitcoin, combined with the occasional "offensive" of Zhan Ketuan, no matter how much the mining tyrant wants to dominate, he will be powerless.

Many miners told Shenchao TechFlow that they would no longer consider buying new mining machines under the current computing power, currency price, and mining difficulty, "unless the currency price increases by 50%."

In addition, the price of Ant’s new mining machine has also been criticized. The market price of Antminer S19 Pro 110T is around 23,000, calculated at 3 cents per kWh, and its daily income is about 50 yuan. Even if there is no new mining machine in the future and the computing power does not increase, it will take 460 days to pay back.

Bitmain is caught in internal and external troubles, and the two founders are still confronting each other, inseparable.

A person close to Wu Jihan once commented: Mr. Han is keen to become a ranger, and he doesn't like being a gang leader, because of his personality.
