Chapter 052 Modern Society 13

As soon as the Shire Tea Shop issued a challenge, those who were just looking for fun came over.

"What if I don't have long hair?"

"Where does this boss get his confidence from?"

"Excuse me, I'm new here. Is this an advertisement for some new type of hair transplant?"

…

Lin Xiran rushed over after class, but the four bloggers who were named had not responded yet.

Xie Yunsui was still in the store, but there were no customers there. Xiao Yao and Xiao Zhang were also concerned about the situation and were looking at their phones.

Lin Xiran moved closer to Xie Yunsui, wanting to comfort him.

Xie Yunsui was watching the first reviewer's video again. Seeing Lin Xiran leaning over, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

It’s just a tea shop. If Xie Yunsui loses this one, he can open another one.

It's just that closing the store in this way due to cyberbullying is frustrating.

Got to find the person behind this.

Lin Xiran noticed that the screen of Xie Yunsui's mobile phone was paused, and his fingertips lingered on the pile of test reports on the blogger's desk.

He keenly sensed Xie Yunsui's intention: "Do you want to find that testing agency?"

Xie Yunsui said, "If those four people keep dragging their feet, we must have a second plan."

In fact, when he issued that declaration, he didn't intend that these four people would come.

He just wanted to express his stance, to show that Charles Tea Shop was not a pushover.

"Boss." Zhang Shuangshuang hesitated for a long time, but finally walked over.

"I don't know if I'm being overly suspicious, but I always feel like that Dali review video is like a Blue Bottle shampoo commercial."

-

The review blogger Dali's real name is Liu Dali. His uncle opened a private testing agency. With the help of his uncle, he took advantage of the review blogger's popularity and has been living a good life in recent years with the income from shooting videos.

In order to keep up to date, Liu Dali has tested most of the products on the market.

In the early years, in order to show his "professionalism", he really used data to speak, and never accepted the flattery of some product manufacturers, focusing on authenticity.

However, in the past two years, there have been an endless stream of review bloggers with various styles. No matter how much Liu Dali claims to be "professional", his sales have not declined and his monthly income has continued to decline.

Seeing that consumption has been downgraded, Liu Dali no longer wants to be real and starts taking some dark commercials.

In this video, the hidden advertisement is for Blue Bottle Shampoo, a new brand called "Guibai".

Gui Bai's contact was very generous with the money. Liu Dali had already prepared the video plan, and later the contact added more money and asked him to add Guihua Hair-raising Drink to the evaluation list.

At first Liu Dali thought he had misheard.

His products are all shampoos, but he insists on adding a drink?

But who can blame the generous sponsor? He went to check out the official account of Shire Tea Shop. The number of fans on various platforms added up to less than a thousand. It is not a chain brand, and the boss does not have any wealthy and powerful background. Maybe the other party would like to thank him for bringing him a lot of traffic.

Of course, he did not go to Donglin City in person to buy their osmanthus flower hair growth drink. Gui Bai's contact person directly sent him a cup of hair growth drink and a box of concentrated liquid, asking him to add water and brew it himself. The test form was also given to him directly.

But the development of things was a little beyond Liu Dali's expectations.

Guibai is a new brand, and spending money on promotion is a normal marketing method. But after he posted the video, there were several hot search terms that criticized the drink?

A single video can generate so many trending searches, which is a treatment only big stars can enjoy.

Liu Dali has a reputation for knowing that he is not worthy of it given his current fame.

From that promotional marketing, I thought the tea shop owner had some deep hatred with their family.

Liu Dali saw that more and more people were watching his video, which had surpassed the popularity of his previous videos. He was happy at first, until Charles Tea Shop tagged him.

Liu Dali frowned. Many people under his account were urging him to go to the scene to fight against counterfeiting and broadcast the whole process live to give the boss a good slap in the face.

He usually has a fan-loving personality and basically he will agree to any request his fans make.

If you don't respond for a long time, some fans may leave.

He called the person in charge of Guibai and asked, "When you asked me to diss Shengfa Drink, you didn't tell me to do this?"

The person in charge snorted: "Didn't we pay the money?"

Liu Dali choked. They had indeed already paid for the goods, but the subsequent events had harmed Liu Dali's own interests.

"The tea shop is trying to get me to the scene, but they haven't sent anyone to contact me. They're clearly very confident in their product," Liu Dali complained. "I dissed you and even brought a professional test certificate. But if I go back to the scene and slap myself in the face, I might as well expose you."

There was silence for a moment, and then the other party said, "Why don't you just not go?"

Liu Dali laughed out of anger. Whether he didn't respond or didn't go, in the eyes of fans he was a coward, lacking confidence, and tacitly admitted that there was something fishy about him. At the very least, they would lose him as a fan, and at the worst, they might even retaliate against him.

Which video blogger like him doesn't rely on fans to make a living? If he offends his fans, how can he still have a good life?

Liu Dali asked directly: "Is your professional inspection certificate real or fake?"

"Of course it's true."

"If he really had a product that could help people grow hair, he would have been the richest man in the world long ago."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Dali weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

The person in charge was right about one thing. There is no product in this world that can make people grow hair in a short period of time. If there is, it will not exist in the form of a drink.

He went online to check the current trend and found that the bald blogger had already responded.

This person's response was as straightforward as his video. He directly posted a photo of his plane ticket and said that if he could grow hair, he would kneel down and call the owner "Dad". If he couldn't grow hair, he would ask the owner to kneel down and call him "Dad".

As soon as Liu Dali refreshed his screen, he saw that his number of fans had increased by four digits.

When I posted the video, I had less than 100,000 followers, but now I have almost 200,000.

Liu Dali gritted his teeth, booked a flight, and posted: "See you tomorrow."

This wave of traffic cannot be eaten by this bald guy alone.

In the end, only two people responded to this call, while the other two bloggers remained in hiding.

When Liu Dali arrived in Donglin City, the number of fans of both of them dropped below 100,000.

-

The number of customers at Shire Tea Shop today is unusually large.

The old customers in the surrounding area have more or less known about the situation of Shire Tea Shop.

Not to mention the hair growth drink, the vitality drink and sleeping drink are good products that they have used and are really useful. They are afraid that the boss will close the store due to the blow of public opinion. Wouldn’t there be no such cheap and useful drinks then?

Many people came over to express their support for Boss Xie.

"Boss, people on the Internet believe everything they hear. Don't take it to heart. We can't close the store."

"I think the hair growth drink is good. My hair loss has decreased in the past few days. I can see that those people don't use it all the time."

"Boss! I trust you. I can't help you with anything else. Just give me ten boxes of vitality drink and ten boxes of hair growth drink!"

"Boss! I will always come to your place to buy drinks. Please don't go bankrupt!"

…

Every young face is full of sincerity and trust.

There are lovely people like this in every world... A warm feeling flowed through Xie Yunsui's heart, and he had the urge to renew the lease of the store and keep the store at the school gate.

"Thank you." Xie Yunsui said sincerely to the group of customers.

When the phone beeped, he lowered his head and saw a "call recording" sent by Little Bee.

He handed the ordering area to Xiao Yao, walked inside with his phone, and put on his headphones.

"Did you get the recipe from the Shire Tea Shop? No? If he doesn't want to sell it, won't you find a way to get him to sell it?"

"I'm trying to figure it out..."

"It's been so long and we haven't found a Chinese medicine manufacturer he can work with? Where does he get the raw materials?"

"We've contacted dozens of Chinese medicine dealers in China, but haven't found anyone who would cooperate with Xie Yunsui..."

"Forget it, just destroy his store. Go and think of a way to make sure he can't continue his business."

"good……"

Xie Yunsui was quite speechless.

Some time ago, many people came to his shop to inquire about tea recipes, but Xie Yunsui rejected them all. Some people gave up, while others secretly plotted against him.

Xie Yunsui still had some impression of the voice of the person being accused in the audio. It was a man named Jiang Ping.

The business card he handed over at the time was from a beverage manufacturer, and the address was from a manager who was out on business. Xie Yunsui didn't notice anything wrong.

At this time, the little bee conducted a careful investigation and found that Jiang Ping was indeed an errand runner, but he was not running errands for the beverage manufacturer. The person who assigned him was from Guibai Pharmaceutical Company.

An emerging pharmaceutical company whose main business is products with Chinese herbal ingredients. It previously launched skin care products and cosmetics with Chinese herbal ingredients, but they did not make much of a splash. Later, it launched Chinese herbal beverages, which went straight to the center of the earth. Recently, it changed its track and developed a shampoo with Chinese herbal ingredients.

Not long after Shire Tea Shop launched its Chinese herbal drinks, it was noticed by Zhou Anguo of Guibai Pharmaceutical Company.

At first, Zhou Anguo didn't believe that anyone could make delicious Chinese herbal drinks. In fact, after tasting it, he thought it tasted good. He also wanted to cooperate with Xie Yunsui to revitalize his own beverage market. Unfortunately, Xie Yunsui refused completely.

After being rejected, Zhou Anguo spent a long time but failed to decipher the Chinese herbal formula from the drinks he bought. He then tried to find a breakthrough from Xie Yunsui's partners, but after waiting for a month or two, he still couldn't find any Chinese medicine dealers he was cooperating with. Another channel was blocked.

Before he could find Xie Yunsui's partner, he discovered that Shire Tea Shop had launched a new product - a drink that could promote hair growth.

Zhou Anguo looked at the hair growth drink, and then looked at the shampoo that his company had spent more than a year developing, whose main promotional slogan was "anti-hair loss and hair growth". He was instantly overwhelmed and was determined to get the formula no matter what.

Jiang Ping contacted others. At first, he wanted to find someone to cause trouble in the store, but he felt that Xiaer's store was a new one and no one would pay attention to it. Even if he caused trouble once or twice, he would only get some compensation at most.

Then Jiang Ping came up with a plan and found a few bloggers to ruin the reputation of the hair growth drink.

As long as one drink is "falsely advertised", customers will naturally become suspicious of other drinks, and the credibility will gradually decline.

Jiang Ping calculated that commercial rents near the school were very expensive, plus water and electricity bills, product costs, store employees' salaries, etc. If the tea shop could not make any money for a month, what would be waiting for Xie Yunsui would be an increasing debt.

Xie Yunsui looked at the gold coins piled up like a mountain in the warehouse: "..."

That’s a good idea. Don’t do it next time.
