'Too poor' Liu Chen walked into his spacious apartment and took a relaxing bath. Only then did Liu Chen suddenly remember that he had forgotten to mention the reason he had asked Guo Da to meet him.
"Never mind, since no one is home tonight, I'll put the things in the walk-in closet of the master bedroom first."
By the time the ten-square-meter walk-in closet was packed full, Liu Chen looked at the many summer clothes still left in the system and felt a headache.
"Having too many clothes is also a trouble."
After tidying up the walk-in closet, Liu Chen took another shower. As he got into bed, he casually picked up his phone from the bedside table, wanting to check the popularity of the hashtag "Mei Mei Chang" on Weibo.
As soon as he opened his phone, he saw three missed calls from Mi Zhuzhu.
Raising an eyebrow, Liu Chen called Mi Zhuzhu back and at the same time took his laptop out of the system, leaning against the headboard with the laptop on his lap.
"Hello? Chenchen? You finally called back! You have to check Weibo quickly!"
Liu Chen opened Weibo and first looked at the trending searches.
"Mei Mei Chang is a starch sausage?! Mei Mei Chang, with only fifty percent meat content, is selling at the same price as ham sausage!"
Liu Chen could tell at a glance that this trending topic was created by someone in the industry, or more directly, by people in the ham sausage industry.
Because only insiders would pay attention to the meat content ratio; most consumers only care if it tastes good.
"Did you see? Now there are many comments saying Mei Mei Chang is a black-hearted sausage, and that starch sausage is selling for 1.5 yuan, while other starch sausages are only 1 yuan. They say the extra 0.5 yuan is paid to the blogger for advertising."
It was clear that Mi Zhuzhu was genuinely worried that such comments would affect the sales of Mei Mei Chang.
Liu Chen scrolled through the comments about Mei Mei Chang being a starch sausage, and said with a calm expression, "Zhuzhu, do you remember the two plans I told you about at the beginning?"
"Two plans? Ah! But now they aren't questioning if it tastes good, but questioning our price. Can that still be used?"
"Yes, it can. When the evaluation of a food is all good, it can instead provoke public rebellion. Some people will say it doesn't taste good even if it does. Instead, by picking on our price, it will shift the public's focus to the price, and subconsciously, our Mei Mei Chang will be perceived as delicious and not cheap."
Mi Zhuzhu asked confusedly, "But, won't people think we are black-hearted merchants?"
Liu Chen thought for a moment, "Considering that many bloggers collaborated with Mei Mei Chang this time, the impression of us being expensive is secondary.
How about this, I'll have Qiu Lin take pictures of Mei Mei Chang's meat content, and I'll release an official response. Your bloggers cannot admit that you were paid to promote it. As long as you don't admit it, they can only speculate."
"Okay, I'll contact them now."
After Liu Chen sent a message to Qiu Lin, he expected to receive photos by tomorrow morning or afternoon. However, as soon as he sent it, a folder came from Qiu Lin.
Liu Chen received the folder and looked at the various styles of Mei Mei Chang in the pictures. For the first time, he felt that Qiu Lin's love for Mei Mei Chang was not just reflected in his appetite, but professionally, Mei Mei Chang had almost become his exclusive model.
After selecting two photos of the meat content ingredient list, Liu Chen logged into his HuPu account.
Liu Chen: Tonight at 10 PM, I will clarify the news about Mei Mei Chang on major platforms.
As soon as this post was published, people who had previously followed Liu Chen received notifications. Upon opening it, they found that the most beautiful academic beauty had posted, but the content of the post was confusing.
'No way, academic beauty? What's your relationship with Mei Mei Chang? Are you going to expose something?'
'10 PM? So late? Woohoo, this kid has class tomorrow, can senior sister post earlier?'
'...'
At this time, Liu Chen had the outsourced production enterprise marked on the Mei Mei Chang packaging, and then he retrieved his Mei Mei brand registration information, the formula conclusion obtained from experiments at Tsinghua University, and the pre-production inspection report.
He set up the lighting, took photos, and even changed into a red outfit to celebrate everyone's New Year's Day. He also announced that Mei Mei brand pork jerky would be available in late January.
After gathering nine photos and a video, Liu Chen first logged into HuPu to post, and then posted on Weibo. KuaishuGe
On Weibo, the topic of Mei Mei Chang was already the second hottest search. The comments below the bloggers who originally posted photos of Mei Mei Chang were in an uproar.
After Liu Chen posted, Mi Zhuzhu first tagged Liu Chen's Weibo account and posted:
"Mei Mei Chang's boss personally explains, you'll understand. Promotion, it really doesn't exist!"
After Mi Zhuzhu tagged Liu Chen, a group of bloggers involved in the Mei Mei Chang topic followed suit.
Netizens clicked on Liu Chen's Weibo name and saw the introduction on his Weibo, then they understood.
No wonder Mi Zhuzhu, a blogger who casually accepted advertisements, was so direct with this advertisement this time. It turns out she really wasn't paid...
Mi Zhuzhu's rise to fame on Weibo was thanks to "I have a good-looking academic beauty sister," which is known in the blogger circle and is enviable.
Most fans were still unfamiliar with the name Liu Chen when they saw it. Rushing in to question why Mei Mei Chang was so expensive, they saw the only post on Liu Chen's Weibo homepage, posted one minute ago.
Seeing the happy and beautiful woman in the photo, the netizens who rushed in were stunned. Some netizens who liked to look at pretty faces didn't even finish looking at the nine pictures and directly commented:
"We are just saying, the boss is so good-looking, an extra 0.5 yuan, I think it's fine!"
"Holy cow, this is this year's top science student from our province who just got into Tsinghua? So amazing? Just started university and can already make Mei Mei Chang?"
"Tsinghua is amazing!"
"The bloggers also interacted frequently, maybe they know the most beautiful academic beauty too? Posting on Weibo seems normal, right?"
"The one upstairs, you're clearly a pervert. Look at the pictures behind the photos, Mei Mei Chang's meat content reaches fifty percent. I just casually flipped through the starch sausages selling for one yuan in our supermarket, and their meat content is only twenty percent. So, for 1.5 yuan, they are selling at a conscience price!"
"Isn't anyone feeling like these two meat content photos look particularly high-end? If their seller photos are also of this quality, I think I can buy two more packs!"
Liu Chen saw this comment and remembered the folder Qiu Lin had sent him, so he replied:
"These two photos are from Zhuzhu's senior, Qiu Lin. I will replace the main pictures in the store with those taken by Senior Qiu Lin later."
"Ahhhhhh!!!! Liu Chen replied to me!!! I'm going to buy Mei Mei Chang now!!!"
As soon as Liu Chen's Weibo appeared, all the previous negative attention instantly dispersed.
Now, the hottest search on Weibo is:
