Wu said that NEO co-founder Erik Zhang tweeted that after meeting with Da Hongfei, the latter refused three requests (establishing a financial oversight mechanism, abandoning the competing project EON, and authorizing official releases), accusing him of lacking sincerity in cooperation and calling for Da Hongfei to resign from his leadership position in the NEO ecosystem. Da Hongfei responded by saying that Erik distorted the facts, refused his "dictatorial" financial approval requests, proposed that NGD and NF Treasury provide more transparent quarterly financial reports, authorized Erik to publish official content, and suggested trading $1 million to increase NGD's holdings and provide operational capital; emphasizing limited cooperation to resolve the governance deadlock.
