No one expected that we would meet our lucky star again at the entrance of the association, that beautiful little girl named Vivian. She told us a piece of news, that she had heard of the name of one of the masters, in a place called Carpen Village, where there were many shoemakers, but also many lunatics.
We decided to try to visit, but all the taxis we passed refused us, until we walked to a street several kilometers away, and found the first taxi willing to take us to Carpen Village.
The driver was very talkative in the car and told us a lot of news about Carpen Village.
The voice of the taxi driver's interview was inserted.
I know four of the people on your list.
One is a 12-year-old child.
One is a woman who has just come of age.
Well, there's also a 62-year-old elder, and a guy who's a bit mentally unstable.
Are you sure you want to find these people?
The driver's answer shocked us. Was what he said true? Were these the Italian masters who made a pair of leather shoes worth 100,000 yuan?
Finally, after more than an hour of long journey, we finally arrived at our destination. However, the villagers nearby avoided us, and there was no sound of activity in the entire village, only the sound of machines bursting.
We saw a shoemaking machine, which was extremely old, covered with rusty marks. It is said that this machine is over 100 years old, but it is still in use.
We met the first master on the list, Master Kaka, a veteran shoemaking master who, according to legend, was in his thirties, but was actually only 12 years old.
When we saw him, he was working, but he was not working smoothly. He had been processing one place for two hours, but this place had not improved at all. Finally, he decided to give up and throw the pair of shoes aside.
Seeing the doubt on our faces, he seemed ashamed, so he told us that he was actually the best shoemaker in the village, and no one else could surpass his level. The villagers beside him seemed to agree with this, nodding and smiling. My God, was this really the highest level in the entire village!
After that, we met Master Keji. She was very enthusiastic towards us. Throughout the process, she showed off the beautiful Hanfu she was wearing. It was said to be a gift from Jiangnan Group. In the mall of Jiangnan Group, this set of clothes is also out of print, and the average price is over 20,000 yuan.
We asked to see Master Keji make shoes, but she refused, saying she had no inspiration.
After that, we tried to interview the old master, but he seemed to be mute and did not answer us anything from beginning to end. We only filmed for a short time before he tried to drive us away!
With a glimmer of hope, we went to find the last master, who was called a madman. Then we saw the most disgusting scene of the interview today. He was trying to peel the skin off a live cow while it was still alive, and then told us that these were leather shoes with a soul!
The entire screen was mosaiced, leaving only a picture of a person's head and a cow's head.
I couldn't go on. Later, the director told me that I had fainted on the spot for a full hour.
The next day, we almost fled from here, but when we were leaving, I discovered something terrifying, which was that Vivian was missing. She came with us, but she disappeared when we were about to go back.
I asked the driver to turn back and pick her up, but she called me herself and said she wanted to buy the Hanfu, so she stayed there to discuss with Ms. Keji.
Okay, I hope all this is true, and Vivian is safe. I asked her to call me in a few hours, but I never received her call again. Later, I asked the driver to go back to find her, but the driver told me that she had been picked up by her parents. I hope that's the case!
At this point, the entire program was broadcast.
"Clap clap clap clap!" Mr. Chen applauded after watching it, and then laughed loudly, "If this film is broadcast on the 315 Gala, the reputation of Jiangnan Group's blind boxes will surely collapse, and then the vacant market will be all ours! Hahaha!"
Mr. Chen laughed wildly, but his words also revealed his purpose. It turned out that he was trying to disrupt Jiangnan in order to obtain the blind box market from Jiangnan.
After all, the entire country is crazy about the blind box market of Jiangnan Group. It is said that the annual output value of blind boxes alone can reach nearly 3 billion yuan.
And it is said that this market is growing at a rate of about 10% per year. What is even more enviable is that this market is now completely controlled by Jiangnan Group.
More than a dozen companies have tried to enter the market one after another, but almost all of them have ended in failure. Even large enterprises like China Resources are no match. It is said that only Shi Yuzhu, relying on a unique blind box strategy, has managed to gain a slight foothold in the market.
Mr. Chen and the people behind him were not resigned to this situation. The best way was to make Jiangnan Group's market collapse. And the best way to destroy Jiangnan Group's market was to broadcast such news on the 315 Gala.
Indeed, with the broadcast of this episode of the 315 Gala, the whole country was in an uproar. No one expected that the Italian master-style leather shoes of Jiangnan Group were actually made by a child, a woman, an old man, and a madman.
Suddenly, public opinion was in an uproar. It seemed that the whole world was criticizing Jiangnan Group. As if overnight, all the good reputation built by Jiangnan Group was about to collapse instantly.
At the same time, the sales of Jiangnan blind boxes began to decline as expected, and the high-priced master-style shoes in Jiangnan Mall also seemed to actively reduce prices to sell. For a time, it was a scene of uproar and clamor.
So, what was Jiangnan Group doing at this time? What was Huang He doing? When he saw that the illusions he had painstakingly created were actually edited and turned into such a mess, did Boss Huang collapse directly?
"Have you found out?" At this moment, in Beijing, at the Beijing office of Jiangnan Group, Huang He asked calmly, looking out the window at the reporters who had filled the entire Beijing branch.
Someone must have leaked the news, so these reporters knew that Huang He was in the Beijing branch of Jiangnan Group, and they directly surrounded the place, hoping to interview Huang He.
"We've found out. We discovered that the media that came out to shout and cooperate in the first place received remittances from a company called Comai Consulting. And behind this Comai Consulting Company is Yingke Telecom." Hu Jing said in a low voice.
"Can you confirm the accuracy of this information?"
"Yes, this little superman is too proud and careless. The registered person of Comai Consulting Company is his own name. Secondly, why did the leader contact Mr. Chen, who is the little superman's confidant and has been helping the little superman handle mainland business."
"Judging from these two pieces of information, it is certain that Yingke Telecom is behind this!"
"Yingke Telecom... Little Superman... Have I offended this guy?" Huang He asked, frowning. He really didn't expect that the person behind the scenes would be that little superman.
"We found that a new company named Jiayue Commodity, newly established under the little superman, is negotiating with various domestic manufacturers and supermarkets. Their goal should be to enter our blind box market and get a share of the profits!"
"Also, in July last year, Yingke Telecom proposed to us, expressing its willingness to invest 100 million US dollars in exchange for 10% of Jiangnan Group's shares, but you refused it! I heard that this made the little superman very ashamed, and he thought you didn't give him face!"
"100 million US dollars to buy 10% of Jiangnan Group's shares? Is his head broken?" Huang He grinned, "Oh, I remember now, didn't a US magazine estimate our market value at 1 billion US dollars at that time?"
"It should be so!"
"Hmph, let alone 100 million US dollars, even if it was 1 billion to buy 10% of my shares, I wouldn't sell it to that little superman. Their whole family is disgusting!" Huang He sneered, and then said, "In that case, let's proceed according to our plan."
"Yes, but boss, do you really want to face the reporters? I'm afraid!"
"Don't worry, this is China, the safest country in the world, and no one can physically harm me!" Huang He said confidently, and then went downstairs.
At this moment, at the Beijing branch of Jiangnan Group, a large number of reporters blocked the gate tightly, trying to enter the company for interviews.
However, more than a dozen security guards at the door faithfully blocked these reporters, and the gate was tightly closed, not allowing anyone to peek inside.
Just as these reporters were thinking to themselves, thinking that if you don't let me interview, I'll start to question if you're guilty, the gate suddenly opened with a bang, and Huang He pushed the door open, facing countless cameras!
"Mr. Huang He, you finally showed up. What do you think of the incident at the 315 Gala yesterday?"
"Mr. Huang He, can you come forward to explain yesterday's incident?"
"Mr. Huang He, how will you face the customers who support you?"
All sorts of reporter questions were thrown out. Huang He took a microphone from Hu Jing very decisively, then jumped directly onto the stone lion at the entrance of the Beijing branch, stepped on the lion's head, and shouted down at all the reporters, "Everyone, the news reported yesterday is maliciously edited."
"Mr. Huang He, words are not enough. Do you have any evidence?" Seeing Huang He looking down at them, the reporters felt a little displeased, so they retorted.
Some even shouted, "Huang He, if you have the guts, go to the police station and report it! Do you have the courage?"
"Okay, this reporter friend said it well, speaking my mind, because I am going to the police station now to accuse this malicious competition behavior and commercial bribery that infringes upon and slanders the reputation rights of Jiangnan Group!"
"Come, everyone, let's go together, let's go to report the case!" Huang He waved his fist, jumped off the stone lion dominantly, and then walked towards the police station.
The surrounding reporters were stunned. They looked at each other, then at Huang He, and then with a strange cry, they all followed behind Huang He.
Thus, countless people on the street witnessed this spectacle: one person walked in front, hundreds of people followed with long guns and short cannons, and their destination was the police station!
