Given the numerous hidden problems and legal issues surrounding Zhou Ling's Secret Snow Water City Milk Tea Shop, it was forced to suspend operations.
After Zhou Ling finished her phone call, Zhao Kun rushed over immediately. Upon seeing the people in uniform, he instinctively felt afraid, unlike before when he was arrogant and actively cooperated with the investigation.
In response to the lawsuit filed by Secret Snow Ice City,
After leaving the business registration department, the couple found a law firm and hired a professional lawyer to handle the lawsuit.
After reviewing the lawyer's letter, the lawyer asked the two men a few serious questions and bluntly stated that they were almost certain to lose the case.
Because both the milk tea recipe and the store name are highly similar to Mixue Ice Cream, and most importantly, Mixue Ice Cream has applied for patent registration, so both the product and the brand are protected by patents.
Currently, the only solution is to agree to close down and compensate Secret Snow Ice City for its losses.
Otherwise, they may face criminal penalties.
Hearing that he would go to jail again, Zhao Kun's heart trembled. He didn't want to gamble on a case with a low probability of success.
then,
The Secret Snow Water City closed down completely after only one week of operation.
Customers who had bought milk tea before came back to support the store, only to find the doors closed. They assumed that Secret Snow Ice Cream was suppressing the business, so they went to the Secret Snow Ice Cream store to speak up for Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun.
Faced with this situation, the employees of Mi Xue Ice City were prepared and directly presented evidence of plagiarism and Zhou Ling's apology letter, which dispelled the hostility in the hearts of these people.
After learning that the Secret Snow Water City was run by Zhou Ling, that ungrateful wretch, the news spread online. The post also included details of Zhou Ling's past misdeeds. Upon discovering that all related content had been deleted, the post immediately mobilized a large number of netizens to search for her.
"All of their posts and videos are gone."
"They must have managed to delete it, brothers. Now that ingrate Zhou Ling is up to her old tricks again, continuing to plagiarize Zhou Zhuangyuan's business. She's shameless. We can't let her succeed."
“I’ll send her some more wreaths wherever she lives now.”
After spreading online, this incident once again generated considerable buzz and sparked a wave of condemnation.
At this time, the official Weibo account of Secret Snow Ice City announced the outcome of the matter. After seeing the video of Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun apologizing and the payment of 50,000 yuan in compensation, everyone applauded.
This counterfeit milk tea incident effectively gave Secret Snow Ice Cream a huge amount of advertising, and the incident even made it to some influential media outlets.
This further boosted the reputation of Mi Xue Ice City, and sales continued to climb in the following days.
"Third sister, you can't beat that dog Zhou Chen. Now look what's happened. All that content that nobody paid attention to before and that we deleted has suddenly resurfaced."
Seeing Zhou Ling's business fail, Zhou Chuan was naturally happy, but when he thought about how the content he had paid to delete in the past had now been dug up by netizens, he felt that he had wasted his money. Not only that, but he would have to spend more money in the future. Moreover, because of this incident, some people would continue to monitor whether he would pay to delete the content. Once they found out, they would most likely repost it, making it impossible for him to delete it all.
Compared to Zhou Chuan's conflicted feelings, Zhou Na was much calmer, because she had long anticipated this situation.
On the other end,
In the presidential suite of a five-star hotel,
Zhou Haide's face was gloomy. Just now, Secretary Wang reported that Zhou Chen had rejected his plan to buy Secret Snow Ice City. Even though he raised the price to what he considered a very high amount, he was still rejected.
No matter how much money was offered, Zhou Chen refused to sell, which thwarted Zhou Haide's plans and made him extremely unhappy.
"This kid won't listen to reason, he'll have to suffer the consequences."
Zhou Haide said bitterly.
Secretary Wang remained silent. As a witness to the entire process, he felt that Zhou Chen was even more arrogant than the last time they met. To think that he could take a milk tea business public was simply wishful thinking.
"Since that's the case, I'll create my own brand to compete with him. It's just milk tea; he's not the only one who can make it."
Zhou Haide was enraged by Zhou Chen. He was willing to spend 20 to 30 million to buy Secret Snow Ice City, but Zhou Chen was so ungrateful. Now he just wants to create his own brand, trample Zhou Chen underfoot, and make him regret it.
"By the way, how's the second brother's bubble tea shop going?"
suddenly,
Zhou Haide changed the subject and asked.
"Mr. Zhou, as you predicted, the milk tea shop owned by the second young lady and her husband has been closed."
"Now, many netizens are discussing and condemning this online."
Upon hearing that Zhou Ling's plagiarized business had closed down, Zhou Haide frowned. "Did he make the move?"
Secretary Wang nodded and then explained in detail Zhou Chen's counterattack methods.
"I didn't expect that I had underestimated him. He had registered all the similar brand names long ago. It seems that he had considered this issue in advance. His ability to plan ahead is truly admirable."
Zhou Haide initially didn't take Zhou Chen seriously, but as Zhou Chen's meticulous thinking was revealed, he had to acknowledge Zhou Chen's existence.
"What about the eldest and third brothers? What are they doing?"
"Young Master Zhou Chuan goes to a training school every day to learn management knowledge, and has not started a business."
"Oh? This kid actually knows how to enrich himself?"
Zhou Haide looked surprised.
Secretary Wang also expressed surprise, and then mentioned Zhou Na's entrepreneurial situation, suggesting that she also wanted to start a milk tea business.
"But the eldest daughter's milk tea business seems a little different. I found that she visited many fruit supermarkets. She may want to add fruit or juice to the milk tea. Compared to the second daughter, the eldest daughter has her own ideas."
While making his statement, Secretary Wang praised Zhou Na.
"The idea of adding fruit juice to milk tea is really good, and I hope it will surprise me."
Zhou Haide stroked his chin, a hint of interest in his eyes.
"If Miss can really create a milk tea that is different from Zhou Chen's, Mr. Zhou, you can take it over directly, make this brand bigger and stronger, and compete with that kid. With the example of Miss Er's business failure before, Miss will definitely avoid some things. In addition, with her own ideas, I think it is very worth looking forward to."
Secretary Wang's words made Zhou Haide nod slightly; he thought so too.
Just then,
The phone on Secretary Wang's person suddenly rang. Secretary Wang looked down and said to Zhou Haide, "Mr. Zhou, it's a call from the hospital. The results should be out."
"Give me the phone, I'll answer it."
Upon hearing the test results for Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, Zhou Haide's spirits lifted, but his mood suddenly became extremely tense. He tremblingly reached out, took Secretary Wang's phone, held it to his ear, and feigned composure, saying:
"Hello……"
