A Letter to the Wanderers Still Drifting along the Southeast Asian Gray Line

Southeast Asia, once hailed as the last bastion of the "jianghu," is not a place where brothers set foot overseas just for a stroll. They gamble with their lives and strive for luck, all for two things: to follow the right leader and to have enough to eat.

But what is the reality? There are plenty who boast and paint rosy pictures, but few who sincerely lead and get things done; many are quick to discard others once their use is over, but true loyal brothers are rare.

A truly worthy "boss" must possess three capabilities: clear vision of trends, the ability to shoulder responsibilities, and the skill to lead a team. If one only dreams, undercuts, and shifts risks, then frankly, he is just a contractor gambling with people's lives.

The moment you say "Join me," you should understand that you're shouldering not just a business, but the livelihoods of an entire group of people. In the jianghu, it's about human hearts, not heads.

If brothers sincerely follow you, don't trade their loyalty for profits. If you can't bring in revenue and still rely on emotional blackmail, ask yourself, where can you put your face?

Who believes in pie falling from the sky today? The "pie-drawing economy" has long been bankrupt. The circle in Southeast Asia is rotten enough; don't keep playing those outdated tricks. Even the aunties on TikTok know about the "pig-butchering scam"; don't think you're clever.

Those who are truly awake are simplifying things. Less scheming, more stability; not thinking about tricking customers, but about how to lead a team for the long haul.

Set rules first, then talk about loyalty. Split the profits monthly, prioritize the brothers, then discuss your own share.

Only those who can stand firm in trouble are fit to be the boss. True hearts are seen in times of trouble, and true natures are revealed in the midst of it.

This isn't about sentiment; it's about survival. If the environment is collapsing, the only thing that can keep you alive isn't the trend or the platform, but whether the people around you who trust you are still willing to fight alongside you.
