Review The koi girl who was hit by Ma Yun, Alipay won 100 million, what happened later?

During the National Day in 2018, a girl named Xin Xiaodao was selected by the Alipay Weibo ** platform, and won a lucky gift of "100 million" overnight, becoming a koi fish from the sky, attracting the envy of a large number of netizens and commenting: Don't worry about the rest of your life!

Now that 5 years have passed, has Derpy, who was sitting on the grand prize, lived the life she wanted, and in the past 5 years, have the rumors about her "maxed out her credit card and owed hundreds of thousands of debts" come true?

From the koi from the sky to the end of prosperity, what did Derpy gain and what did she lose? Compared with most ordinary people, is she really the lucky one?

Around the National Day in 2018, most Weibo netizens were boiling over one thing, that is, the magical experience of netizens Xin Xiaodu.

——Because of the Alipay platform under Ma Yun's name**, she won a lucky prize that other three million netizens will not get again, and the total value of this award is said to be 100 million!

The winner, Derpy, said at the time that "I felt magical for a few days", but afterwards she also had some soberness, that is, she learned that the jackpot worth "100 million" mentioned by netizens was not cash, but a large number of coupons and exchange coupons, and the range of prizes included:

There are hundreds of free overseas travel programs, plane tickets, ferry tickets, accommodation, catering, clothing, bags, cosmetics, etc.

In other words, these prizes need to be collected in person on a country-by-country basis.

In the face of the free and powerful gifts given to her by merchants from all over the world, it is difficult for Derpy, who has long had a dream of "hoping to travel to the world".

She told netizens that she decided to go and collect them one by one, and at the same time, she also cooperated with the promotion of Alipay, the "awarding party".

Recording programs, receiving advertisements, and promoting for various businesses, a small fame has also allowed him to rise from 1,000 fans to 1 million in a short period of time, and has become a personal brand that Alipay has become popular in just two months - "Koi Girl".

For ordinary people, this matter is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

As we all know, this is an activity done by Alipay to promote it to the world, otherwise it would not have completed the form of receiving the prize in the form of coupons and exchange coupons.

But there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, after all, it is not a lottery ticket, and while accepting the gift, Derpy must naturally abide by the rules of the game of the winner.

Alipay spent more than a week planning for this event, from announcing ** to releasing a long and surprising "gift list", and then calling netizens to "inhale European gas and get good luck" in the Weibo comment area of Xin Xiaodu, aiming to expand its global influence by creating a new focus of attention for users belonging to Alipay.

Derpy will need to cooperate with this series of activities, so starting in October and November, it will be necessary to complete the cooperation activities and formulate a plan to receive the prize.

At the same time, as an ordinary person, she really cherishes her luck: just overnight, she became a "super koi" with a halo and millions of netizens competing to shout "Mom, inhale European gas" under Weibo, super excited.

In November, Derpy announced on social ** that he had resigned and was going to start a trip with his good friends, everything seemed relaxed and happy, and made a group of netizens full of envy.

Since the winter of 2018, Derpy has traveled to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and other countries to see the world, see the scenery, eat Australian lobster, take photos with alpacas, and receive various gifts.

She also went to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other places in China, where she took vlogs as a report to fans who followed her travel dynamics.

During this period, her social platform has been cooperating with various businesses to do all kinds of ** link activities, and also let more netizens participate in the dream of "koi" created by various businesses for everyone.

Since the day of the trip, netizens have been asking Derpy how he is doing, and it was until July 2020 that Derpy posted a reply on social **:"I heard that I recently owed 200,000 yuan in debt and maxed out all my credit cards? I was the last one to know, and without further ado, I went to scrub the dishes. ”

It can be seen that this is her ridicule of some marketing accounts at that time for "guessing the situation", of course, the speculation of the marketing account is not groundless, this is because Derpy complained in the ** taken before:

"I found that some of these prizes are very frustrating, and the process of receiving them is sometimes equivalent to "risking", and because all the prizes are included in the itinerary, most of the related expenses have to be paid out of pocket, such as when I go to New Zealand, I can only stay for one night for free, and I have to pay for the rest of the accommodation fee. ”

On June 3, 2021, Derpy Xin was on the hot search on Weibo again, and this time it seemed to "confirm" the rumors that she was not doing well, because Derpy himself summarized five points in the public **, including the rumors mentioned earlier:

1. In addition to the coupons and gift vouchers received in various countries, most of the expenses related to food, accommodation and transportation must be paid out of pocket.

2. From the day she left for the trip, the number of visits to the hospital that year was a little more than the number of times she grew up to see a doctor.

3. While redeeming the prizes, she spent an additional 200,000 yuan herself, and once maxed out her credit card.

4. The doctor had diagnosed her with a slight tendency to depression.

5. Now I am worried about the future survival, because it is no longer suitable to resign from the original IT job and return to the post, and I have fallen behind in terms of technology, but it is difficult to find a new job, and I plan to start again and take a teaching qualifications.

As soon as this ** came out, netizens seemed to have fried the pot, saying everything, some said that she "lacked financial quotient training, and couldn't control the windfall", some said that she "didn't know how to sell the exchanged gifts and exchange them for a sum of money, so she deliberately sold miserably", and some said that she "didn't know how to use the good traffic to seize the opportunity to sign a company and engage in live broadcasting".

In short, ** one after another.

Derpy seems to be confused.

There is a saying that the gift given to you by fate has been secretly marked for a long time.

In response to the situation that Xin Xiaodu encountered at this time, in fact, some netizens had already predicted: the rumored "100 million yuan" grand prize received by Xin Xiaoduy, some netizens calculated it one by one, and the actual value was only about 500,000.

In other words, if it weren't for Derpy's ability to earn some advertising fees during her travels, then with her ability, the act of receiving the award itself is already a luxury, and the cost is not low for ordinary people.

So let's take a look at what costs Derpy has paid?

One is her "opportunity cost".As a top student from a "double first-class" university, her job before winning the lottery was originally very good, and she was an IT engineer.

But since she won the lottery, she gave up the job and chose the opportunity to receive the prize all over the world, and her job opportunities and skills were interrupted.

The second is the additional cost she pays in terms of materialIt is believed that Derpy deduces that the prizes that need to be flown to various countries to collect tend to have a "singular nature".

In other words, if Derpy needs to eat the Australian lobster that the other party provides for free, and the other party provides a free plane ticket, Derpy still needs to pay the price of a taxi to the hotel and staying at the hotel.

If Derpy is able to ride a luxury yacht for free, and accommodation and meals are provided on board, but the activities on the yacht are also luxurious, these activities will not be free.

So imagine living on a yacht, do you want to spend money on at least one or two activities?

This is also in line with what Derpy mentioned again in 2021, "On a luxury yacht, we both had the lowest credit card limits, and we were told that we were maxed out, so we couldn't buy activities under the boat."

Because some netizens accused Derpy of releasing the ** on June 3, 2021, it sold badly, you can not go", Derpy also responded afterwards, stating her attitude:I don't want to sell badly, but I just share my actual life and how I feel at the moment.

In this regard, many bloggers and even celebrities have commented, such as the well-known host Lu Yu once commented:

If I win the lottery, I will be faced with a large number of dispensable gifts, and I need to fly to the United States, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand and other countries to get them, I will definitely not go, because the cost of giving up my job is too great, and when I decide to take a year or two to receive this reward, it is already restarting my life.

But in fact, what Lu Yu said is not completely unreasonable, the so-called life has gains and losses, and the confusion of Derpy is not this?

Traveling abroad for free may seem like enriching the experience of life, but Derpy also pays a moral and material price:

From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, with expensive clothes and bags, should you still match a pair of expensive shoes, and then a pair of glasses that do not lose your taste?

Lived in the world's top luxury suite, is it to come to the top SPA, the spa coupon is 9% off, the other discount needs to be paid by yourself, but also to pay a tip worthy of the top suite, pay or not?

Consumption is hierarchical, and when it enters the high-consumption class, it has a rising price, which reminds people of another story:

In 2005, the British Roger couple won a huge prize of 1.8 million pounds, the couple quit their stable and decent jobs, bought luxury cars and traveled the world, but a few years later, they ended in divorce, when ** interviewed Roger, he had to admit that there was only 7 pounds left in his pocket.

At the same time, before and since, the story of the Rogers is not unique.

Both abroad and at home have made relevant follow-up surveys on the "lucky people after winning the lottery", and the data shows that it is always regrettable, and it seems that most people can't escape a similar curse: they are used to living a life of receiving gifts, and when one day the gifts no longer last, people can no longer easily get out of their dreams.

Therefore, the biggest problem is not winning the lottery, but winning the lottery is not sustainable, and human nature is often more complex than individuals expect, which is the root of the tragedy.

Fortunately, Derpy's confused life predicament will eventually calm down as her "koi" aura fades, and her losses and gaps are much less than those of the real jackpot winners.

As an engineering student who graduated from a "double first-class" university, Derpy is not purely like the Internet rumors, "I don't have any brains, and I have been immersed in the dream of winning the lottery". **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan

On the contrary, according to her personal management in social **, as well as her later reactions to various criticisms from netizens, it proves that she is not the "only bleak ending" that many people imagined.

Like most of the occasional reckless advance consumer, "maxing out her credit card" was only her condition at the time, and she apparently made a move to improve her financial situation later.

For example, from 20 to 21 years, Derpy has actually been taking business, as well as her handling of the "pressed goods" in her hands.

By the end of 2022, Derpy began to be active on social media, and by 2023, he would frequently interact with netizens through live broadcasts or comment areas such as Weibo.

She explained that she couldn't stand the fact that the marketing account had been selling miserably for her, and she was unwilling to remain silent, and admitted that "although she is doing average, she still has a little savings."

In 2023, Derpy has set his place of residence in Tianjin and has been staying in Tianjin.

From some of her conversations with netizens, it can be seen that she herself has returned to ordinary life, and she is also busy with work and life every day, and she is also grateful for the small beauty that life occasionally has, such as raising.

Three or four peony parrots, like eating a delicious meal.

In terms of work, Derpy has neither entered the teaching profession that has obtained a qualification, nor has he been in contact with it in recent years, but has done a "normal job".

Outside of life, there is still ** to contact Derpy for an interview, but Derpy responded that "5 years have passed since I won the lottery, and I don't want to mention it again."

Derpy no longer cares about popularity, and she laughs at herself for being "an outdated little Internet celebrity":

Compared with the popularity and "European breathing" of netizens from 2018 to 2021, the Weibo fans of Derpy have dropped from 1.59 million two years ago to 1.37 million.

There are still people who question Derpy's move to recommend TV series and movies on Weibo, questioning whether she is "transforming, from using her popularity to sell some small food, and now preparing to be a film and television drama blogger", which Derpy is noncommittal.

She has indeed returned safely to normal life.

So, from this point of view, there is no need to worry about whether she has lost or earned in the past few years, after all, it is difficult to say.

Perhaps for her, all the previous experiences were just an experience in life, and in any case, she had gained a lot, and as for the loss, she herself was already bearing.

For example, now I set sail again at work, and some negative comments due to "red".

This is the price of a lucky person's growth, if you don't get it, you don't need to lose.

In response to the bad comments of netizens, on June 23, Derpy also replied on Weibo: 5 years have passed, I don't want to mention it again, but there are still people who ask "Why you were not me who won the lottery that year", I really feel ridiculous and powerless.

On the same day, she recommended the latest movie "I Love You" in 2023 to fans, detailing the brilliance of actors Leung Ka-fai and Hui Yinghong in the film.

In the end, the direction of life will still return to the right path of down-to-earth, no longer living in psychedelia, which is really good, summed up in one sentence:Some experiences are just experiences, and after going through them, she still has to be herself.

Needless to say, Derpy, who received a letter from "pie from the sky", is actually an ordinary person, she did not become an e-commerce company in the end, nor did she maintain her traffic "Changhong".

From the sensational world of that day to today's calm, it is just one more experience, and the rest is not much different from ordinary people.

So there is no need to sing about her experience and ending, but it can be used as a reference, there are many kinds of life, as long as you can bear it, everything can be regarded as the cost of growth.
