After hanging up the phone, Zhang San was once again impressed by Lin Chen's shamelessness.
Judging by his thick skin, comparable to a city wall, this kid is no ordinary person.
Sure enough, the next day, Zhang San received another call from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
"Hello, this is the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Little Life."
"Hello, that's perfect. I called the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications yesterday, but they said that nuisance calls are not under their jurisdiction."
The Minister of Economy and Industry on the other end of the phone twitched his lips. "Are you never going to stop?"
"That's impossible. It's the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications that's in charge. They manage the entire telecommunications sector. Their customer service hotline is so unprofessional these days. You should just file a complaint against the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' customer service staff."
"Okay, thank you."
After saying that, Zhang San was about to hang up the phone again, but fortunately the minister had experience this time and quickly called out.
"Hey, don't hang up yet. I'll file a complaint later. I have something to do here."
"Oh, what's up?"
"It's about some companies using Huasuan Pay to evade taxes. We hope that Huasuan Pay can assist us in investigating this matter."
"Huh? Is that so? I didn't know that."
"We also know that your company is unaware of this matter, so we are only asking your company to assist in the investigation, which will also help avoid harming your company's interests."
Zhang San understood that the other party meant that if Huasuan Pay did not cooperate with the investigation, they would probably be targeted.
"It's not that we're unwilling to cooperate with the investigation, it's just that it involves users' privacy information. How about this, we'll conduct an internal investigation first, is that alright?"
The Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry thought to himself that this person was probably going to report this matter to headquarters.
That's normal. Operations involving user privacy require permission from headquarters. This company seems quite legitimate, unlike some countries where citizen privacy is treated like a joke, with things like the "cooling-off gate" scandal.
"Yes, we hope you can get back to us as soon as possible."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang San completely forgot about the matter. This was entirely within his boss's expectations, so what was there to worry about? He could just stall for time and that would be the end of it.
Judging from his boss's tone, the other party wouldn't dare to do anything to Huasuan Pay. If Huasuan Pay just runs away, wouldn't all the people who have deposited money in Xiao Rizi (a Chinese online community) protest at the official website?
Damn, we've deposited so much money into it! We were hoping to earn some interest through the discount payment service and maybe even get some freebies.
As a result, your official channels directly forced that company to leave?
The key point is that even if you report it to the police, they can simply say that your money has already been used to purchase virtual currency, so they won't be considered to have absconded with the money.
It's like you buy some game credits, and then the game shuts down. If you go to the police and say the game company ran away with your money, Uncle Hat would probably laugh in exasperation.
That's why we're so fearless.
In fact, Lin Chen's real confidence was not as Zhang San said, because on someone else's turf, the rules were set by someone else, and Huasuan Pay was exploiting a loophole.
But if your life decides to mess with you, there's nothing you can do about it.
Lin Chen's real confidence came from Minister Wang.
Not long ago, Minister Wang personally called Lin Chen, telling him to do a good job. He was very optimistic about Lin Chen's overseas venture to make money... I mean, his overseas development path, especially Huasuan Payment, which he thought had great potential.
The meaning is quite clear: Lin Chen should continue with Huasuan Payment, so that if anything goes wrong, someone will back him up.
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, which is in charge of the economy, has been paying close attention to Huasuan Pay's actions, but instead of announcing any user bans or similar measures, they released a Huasuan Pay recharge bonus announcement.
"Recharge 6 yuan for the first time to get an exclusive Douyin profile picture frame."
Recharge 30 yuan to get a free exclusive Douyin profile picture frame and a pack of tissues.
Recharge 100 yuan and you can get a free exclusive Douyin profile picture frame + a box of tissues.
Recharge 200 yuan, ..."
The people at both the Korean and Xiao Ri Zi (a popular online shopping platform) were ecstatic. This was such a great deal! For every 100 yuan recharged, they got a box of tissues for free. You know, at Xiao Ri Zi, a pack of three tissues costs around 400 yen, which is about 20 yuan!
Some people may not buy daily necessities often, so they may not be aware of the price difference.
To put it simply, in China, a box of 24 packs of Vinda facial tissues costs only around 20 yuan, which is about 1 yuan per pack. But at Xiaorizi, a pack costs 7 yuan, a 7-fold price difference!
Therefore, this event is incredibly cost-effective and attractive to both Koreans and ordinary people.
As a result, a large number of new users began to register for Huasuan Pay and deposit money into it.
The free gift with the discounted payment is domestic tissue paper, shipped from JD.com's overseas warehouse.
Douyin's online store also sells tissues, but the price isn't as cheap as in China. Since they've traveled all the way overseas, their value is bound to increase.
It used to be called Vinda, but now it has to be called fully imported Vinda.
It used to be called Qingfeng, but now it has to be called the fully imported Qingfeng.
In short, adding the words "fully imported" will raise its price, and it will sell for 5 yuan a pack!
At this price, Korean netizens exclaimed that it was really cheap and placed orders one after another.
The moment Huasuan Payment launched this recharge bonus event, those bank capitalists couldn't sit still.
Although each person only puts a few hundred yuan into Huasun Pay, there are so many people doing it.
This immediately impacted the deposits in those banks.
Originally, all this money was in the bank, but now, it can't even be said to be in Huasuan Pay; instead, it's been directly used to buy Douyin coins and spent.
So these banking capitalists put pressure on the authorities in South Korea and Japan, demanding that they regulate Huasuan Payment.
This outsider is actually starting to take away their cake and eat it too! This is outrageous!
Both South Korea and Japan are capitalist countries, and even in official circles, capital calls the shots.
The official contacted Huasuan Pay immediately. It was expected that there would be some back and forth, but to everyone's surprise, Huasuan Pay agreed immediately and issued an announcement the next day, ending the recharge bonus event.
The ordinary people in South Korea and China were completely bewildered. What happened? I hadn't even registered all my relatives' phones to take advantage of the promotion, so how did it end?
Immediately afterwards, some enthusiastic netizens quietly leaked insider information on the overseas version of Douyin, saying that the official accounts of Korean and Xiao Rizi had received money from bank capitalists to put pressure on Huasuan Pay, prohibiting Huasuan Pay from carrying out such activities again.
This rumor even accidentally made it to the trending topics on the overseas version of TikTok, which angered both South Koreans and ordinary people living in China.
