Bab 39: Emergency
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After confirming that the skincare products had become famous among the circle of rich ladies, Qin Qing immediately sought out a researcher. Using samples, the researcher would study the formula and effects of the skincare products so that they could be put into production.
Qin Qing's actions would lend credibility to the brand.
Chen Ming then found a time when no one was around and went to the equipment room alone. He used the replacement skill to allow the equipment to produce skincare products.
With that, everything was ready. They were only lacking a catalyst to spark the wildfire.
Not long after, the skincare product was officially released.
In order to better promote their skincare products, Chen Ming and Qin Qing chose a famous internet celebrity called Jiu.
Jiu's review focused on skincare products, beauty products, and so on. Her ratings on the internet were almost all positive, and her reviews were also very realistic, so not many people dared to ask her for a review.
However, as long as a product was reviewed well by Jiu, it would definitely become popular and sell well.
This was also the reason why Chen Ming and Qin Qing had chosen Jiu.
The quality of anything produced by the system was unquestionable, so they were not afraid of bad reviews. Rather than fake good reviews, they needed real ones to convince the public.
Therefore, Qin Qing and Wang Linlin cooperated. After discussing it, they reached out to Jiu for a review.
...
"Skincare product?"
Jiu took the red bottle of whitening cream. The suspicion in her eyes could not be concealed, and her words were full of distrust.
"This skincare product doesn't even have a brand, yet you dare to come to me for a review? Is this a knock-off product?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qing pushed a pile of documents in front of Jiu.
"This is the product license."
Jiu took the documents doubtfully. After briefly flipping through it, she nodded.
"The documentation is in order, but…"
Jiu deliberately paused.
After a moment of hesitation, she said straightforwardly, "As you probably already know, my reviews are realistic and truthful. I'll say whatever I want to say. Some products have received negative feedback when they came to me for a review. Are you certain that you want me to review your product?"
Jiu kindly reminded them.
She believed that this skincare product was probably from a new brand. If it received a bad review, this brand would probably not be able to survive in the skincare and beauty industry in the future.
She thought that Qin Qing and Wang Linlin would back down after hearing this.
However, their reactions were completely different from what Jiu expected.
"Alright then! We just want a truthful review," Wang Linlin laughed, "Our product will definitely pass with flying colors."
Qin Qing also nodded with a smile. "Linlin is right. We came looking for you specifically because of the truthful nature of your reviews."
Seeing that the other party had decided to go ahead with the review regardless of her reminder, Jiu finally agreed to do it.
"Alright, I'll try out this skincare product then!"
"I've already forewarned you. If the product doesn't do well, don't blame me for the review."
After Jiu finished speaking, Qin Qing and Wang Linlin looked at each other and smiled. They were extremely confident.
…
Jiu's new video was posted on the internet three days later. Before she posted the video, Jiu also sent them a message asking if there were any more of the skincare products in stock. She wanted to order ten boxes.
Chen Ming had expected to receive this message. He had plenty of confidence in this skincare product!
He leaned back in his seat and clicked on Jiu's video.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jiu!"
It was a familiar opening.
"Today, I'm going to review a skincare product."
"This skincare product isn't from a famous brand. It's called 'Clear Sky Ming', which is the one I'm holding right here."
In the video, Jiu held the red bottle in her hand and showed it to the audience.
On the comments screen, the netizens instantly expressed their own opinions.
[Clear Sky Ming? What kind of skincare product is this? I've never heard of it.]
[Are you serious? Jiu dares to review just any kind of skincare product now?]
[It's probably a small brand that is just starting out. They are probably trying to use Jiu to gain popularity. Ridiculous. We won't buy it if the review results are bad!]
[Hahaha, sisters, you probably don't know this, but this skincare product is actually manufactured and distributed by Chen Ming! About this... He's in the garbage processing business, but it seems that he's branching out to the skincare industry. Ah…]
[No way. Is Chen Ming trying to make a scene? I know that his energy blocks and optimized batteries are good, but skincare? The leap of faith is just too big. I'm awaiting the results…]
[...]
The netizens were very quick with their research, and soon found out that the skincare product was developed by Chen Ming.
Chen Ming was not bothered by this, and casually continued watching Jiu's video.
In the video, Jiu was all smiles as she continued her introduction.
"I've been using this skincare product for a while, so I can tell everyone that the effects of this skincare product are really good!"
"After using it, the condition of my skin has visibly improved. It's not inferior to big brand skincare products! Now, I'll show everyone the before and after effects."
In the video, Jiu's satisfaction with the skincare product was obvious.
She kept detailing the advantages of the skincare product and complimented it endlessly, which made the netizens pause.
After a long while, the comments started rolling in again.
[Was Jiu bribed for this review? Or threatened? If you're being threatened, Jiu, just blink.]
[It can't be! If Chen Ming can develop such an excellent skincare product, I'll kneel and kowtow to him! That would be too godly!]
[Jiu must have received some benefits, right? Fine then, I'll buy it. I'll see for myself if this skincare product is that magical.]
[I'll buy it too, not because I think it's good, but because I want to check if it's counterfeited.]
[Jiu's not the same anymore. Hai, who can we trust for reviews now?]
[...]
The video came to an abrupt end amidst the netizens' doubts.
Chen Ming was not in a hurry even though the internet was filled with doubts about his skincare product.
He knew that the doubt would only be temporary.
When the netizens tried it, the results would speak for themselves!
…
Indeed, things were as Chen Ming had expected.
After the skincare products arrived, the netizens who had doubted the product at first started to give positive comments after using them.
Their comments were particularly positive. Almost all of them said that this skincare product was effective, cheap, affordable, and easy to use.
Of course, there were also some rich ladies who had already become Clear Sky Ming's loyal fans. In the circle of rich ladies, the product had received a lot of praise.
For a time, the Clear Sky Ming brand was full of positive comments.
At the same time, the netizens were impressed by Chen Ming. It was no small feat to have achieved such results after crossing over to another industry.
The orders did not stop, and Chen Ming was ridiculously busy.
He was unaware that when Clear Sky Ming reached a certain level of popularity, it would be targeted.
One day, "Clear Sky Ming skincare products, rotten face" suddenly became the top trending topic, and the popularity of this post was rising!
Chen Ming was having tea in his office when he noticed the topic.
When he saw this, he frowned and clicked on the post.
Those who used to praise Clear Sky Ming were now all insulting him and his skincare product.
Moreover, there were also pictures and videos of a bunch of ugly faces that were spreading wildly throughout this post.
The "Clear Sky Ming skincare product user" in the video was criticizing the products for breaching health protocols.
They were convincing and their words were sharp.
'Hmmm... It seems like an organized scheme!'
