Chapter 253 Boss, something terrible has happened!
Chapter 253 Boss, something terrible has happened!
The next day, I was organizing the latest batch of anti-counterfeiting materials in my studio when Little Sweetie suddenly rushed in.
"Boss! Big news!" Her voice trembled with excitement, "Hongye e-commerce platform has sent a cooperation invitation!"
I was taken aback for a moment, "Which Red Leaf platform?"
“It’s the biggest one! Look, this is their official email!” Little Sweetie shoved the tablet into my hand.
I read the email carefully, my heart racing uncontrollably.
E-commerce platforms want to cooperate with me to jointly combat counterfeit and substandard goods on their platforms.
Xu Sisi joined in at some point, saying, "They said they're going to create a dedicated channel for you and even form a joint anti-counterfeiting team!"
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.
“Schedule a video conference; I need to understand their plans in detail.”
The next day, I sat in front of my computer and had a video call with the person in charge of the e-commerce platform.
"Ms. Gu, I've long admired your reputation; your influence in the field of anti-counterfeiting is undeniable."
I nodded politely. "Thank you. Could you elaborate on the cooperation plan?"
He said earnestly, "We hope to leverage your expertise to work together to purify the platform's shopping environment and enhance consumer trust."
I listened carefully, occasionally asking questions.
"Regarding the merchant review mechanism..."
Regarding consumer rights protection channels...
Regarding the severity of penalties for counterfeit goods...
The other party answered all my questions sincerely.
"I recently posted a video, and it's already surpassed 200,000 views. Since we're soliciting submissions online, do you have any good ideas?"
"Here's the thing, because the data is so good, we want to drive traffic and get more people to come to our platform to do live streams. As for product selection, that's up to you."
These conditions were naturally excellent, and after discussing it with the person in charge of the e-commerce platform, we decided to sign the contract in person in a few days.
After the meeting, I leaned back in my chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
Little Sweetie and Xu Sisi looked at me expectantly, "How was it?"
I smiled and said, "Get ready to sign the contract."
Cheers erupted in the studio.
"This is a golden opportunity! Not only can it help more consumers, but it can also expand our business!"
Xu Sisi suddenly thought of something and said, "But with such a large collaboration, we need to carefully assess the risks."
Little Sweetie nodded vigorously, happily saying, "Yes, yes, yes, should we talk to President Jiang about it?"
My face flushed red. "Who wants to see him..."
Before I could finish speaking, my phone rang.
It was a message from Jiang Yichen: "I heard you're going to collaborate with the Hongye platform?"
I stared at them in surprise, my eyes wide. "How did you know?"
"This circle is very small."
"Haha, you can't hide anything from me."
Xu Sisi leaned closer and asked me, "What's wrong?"
I quickly flipped my phone over and replied, "It's okay, it's okay. Let's start the meeting, about the risks you mentioned."
"OK!''
In order to seize this opportunity and make the studio better and better, we quickly developed the first version of the risk assessment plan.
That day, after dinner, Jiang Yichen handed me a notebook.
"This is what I had the legal department compile."
His long, slender fingers gently tapped the cover.
I opened the document, which contained a dense yet clearly organized list of various potential risks and solutions.
"How could you..." I was so moved that I couldn't speak, and my throat tightened.
Jiang Yichen coughed lightly, "Who told you to be my Mrs. Gu?"
His deep, cheerful voice came through, "Just let me know if you need anything else!"
I looked up at him and saw a gentle light shining in his deep eyes. I secretly vowed to do better and better.
I never expected that something unexpected would happen so soon after we started working together.
When I conducted my planned investigation into some suspected counterfeit and substandard goods on the platform, I encountered strong resistance from some merchants.
“Ms. Gu, this is putting us in a difficult position,” a merchant said rudely over the phone.
Before I could explain, the other party hung up the phone.
Little Sweetie rushed into the office in a panic, "Boss, something terrible has happened!"
I took the tablet she handed me, and on the screen was a joint statement issued by several businesses.
"The anti-fraud blogger is maliciously smearing us; it's actually extortion!"
"So-called anti-counterfeiting is nothing more than a means of making money!"
The comments section has exploded, filled with all sorts of nasty and offensive remarks.
My hands were trembling slightly, but I forced myself to remain calm. "Pull up the information of the fans who won the prize before."
Xu Sisi immediately pulled up the information, "The one I selected is a best-selling digital watch that has always sold very well at the retailer, but the comments section is...unpleasant."
"Contact this fan; we want to do a live stream."
I purchased this product myself, and on the day of the live stream, I specially invited a professional appraiser.
When I first received it, the dial had a cheap sheen in the sunlight, which was completely different from the exquisite appearance in the promotional pictures.
"The live stream room is ready," Little Sweetie whispered a reminder.
At this moment, the live stream room was already packed with people, and the comments were scrolling rapidly.
"I heard they're cracking down on counterfeit watches today?"
"Could this be just another publicity stunt?"
I suppressed my unease and placed the watch in front of the camera. "Today, we'll verify the authenticity of this 'high-end waterproof watch.'"
Following the instructions, I placed the watch into a glass tank filled with water. The comments section suddenly went wild:
"Look! Water's coming in!"
"It's only been 30 seconds!"
"Wasn't it supposed to be waterproof to 50 meters?"
I fished the watch out of the water; the surface was already covered with a layer of condensation. A professional appraiser appeared on camera at that moment, saying, "This watch's water resistance isn't even sufficient for everyday use."
Just then, the live chat was suddenly flooded with a large number of negative comments:
"Is it another script?"
"How much money did you receive?"
"Have anti-counterfeiting bloggers become live-streaming e-commerce hosts?"
My hands trembled slightly, but I still managed a smile as I said, "This product was selected from one of our last fan-submitted videos. Feel free to leave a comment if you'd like to know of other testing methods."
Suddenly, a striking comment popped up: "You guys knew this product had problems all along, didn't you?"
I was stunned. What? What happened?
Before I could answer, the live stream suddenly went black.
Xu Sisi burst in, "Our account has been reported and banned!"
I slumped into the chair, feeling a wave of dizziness. Just then, my phone rang; it was a message from Jiang Yichen:
"The Jin family is pulling strings behind the scenes. Be careful."
This battle is more difficult than I imagined.
Meanwhile, the government called, "Ms. Gu, the public opinion has been quite intense these past few days. We need to verify the details of your award."
"Has something happened? Something's gone wrong here, could it be...?"
"Someone anonymously reported you, saying you were just putting on a show for traffic."
I tried my best to control my emotions, realized that the matter was not so simple, and told the government that they must have made a mistake and that I would handle it.
