Episode 4: [Sauce-Flavored Latte Encrypted Version] Adventures of PayPal President Dan Schulman in the Hutong
He buys pancakes with USD, and Aunt Wang teaches him to scan the QR code to pay the bridge toll.
🌇 Opening: The Mysterious Customer's Greasy Suit
Early autumn 2025, Beijing Hutong.
A gray-haired foreigner in an Italian custom suit stares blankly at Aunt Wang's pancake cart QR code.
Aunt Wang's son, Little Fat, exclaims: "Mom! This old man looks like PayPal President Dan Schulman!"
Aunt Wang taps her rolling pin: "Pay… what? Just order a pancake and pay by scanning!"
💼 Confrontation: USD? Agreement? Bridge Toll?
Dan pulls out cash: "I’ll pay in cash, is ten dollars enough?"
Aunt Wang waves her hand: "We only accept cryptocurrency here! Scan to connect your wallet —" Dan's phone pops up
Little Fox Wallet +@WalletConnect QR code.
Dan frowns: "I don’t use third-party agreements, PayPal has its own connector…"
Aunt Wang laughs loudly: "Forget it! Your employees use this code to buy my pancakes — save some energy, paying the bridge toll isn’t embarrassing!"
🧱 Hutong Siege: The Essence of the Agreement is Road Repair
Onlookers chime in:
Chain Game Youth: "Your self-developed connector, why not avoid compatibility with $WCT ?"
Fried Dough Stick Zhang: "If the road is fixed, it’s time to collect taxes! Our hutong stone bridge charges twenty cents for tolls!"
Thanos holds a sign: "Agreement hegemony? This is called grassroots infrastructure!" 🔥
✍️ Signing: The Billion-Dollar Business of Sauce Infusion
Dan wipes pancake sauce off his suit and suddenly squats by the road to write a draft: "PayPal connects to the WalletConnect agreement, each scanned payment divides 0.1% bridge toll to $WCT holders…"
Aunt Wang hands him a pancake: "It would have been great if you were this decisive earlier! Remember, the agreement is not a concession — the scanning rights belong to the people!" Dan bites into the pancake and mumbles: "This sauce… is much spicier than SEC filings."
