Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

This completely baffled Wang Lichuan, who couldn't help but display a series of question marks on his forehead.

Isn't there such a thing?

At this moment, Lao Chen and Liao Jun stopped pretending and laid their cards on the table. Their smiles were harder to suppress than AK's, revealing an undisguised mockery.

If they were truly a purely charitable organization, they would indeed be completely controlled by the Red Cross, leaving them utterly powerless.

The problem is that Chinese people have one advantage: they are very good at exploiting loopholes in the rules.

As long as the charitable nature of the organization is clarified, it will no longer fall under the jurisdiction of the Red Cross Society of China.

Instead, they are subject to regulation by the industrial and commercial administration and market supervision departments.

Unfortunately, Xia Shen was very familiar with the local marketing department. After all, they had cooperated before, and Xia Shen had a huge influence, so he was a key target. It was practically impossible to neglect a public figure like him, otherwise it could easily cause unnecessary negative consequences.

Of course, Xia Shen also knew that if the country really wanted to take action against him, then he would definitely be like a little ant, with no room for resistance.

However, if he doesn't commit any crimes, the authorities will definitely want to make good use of his influence.

And this is only on his side; Zhou Yumeng has connections in the Industry and Commerce Bureau.
After all, Zhongtian International is a behemoth among the top ten companies in China, a true industrial giant. If something were to happen to such a commercial behemoth, the impact would be enormous, and the country would naturally have to maintain stability.

Moreover, the fact that he was able to achieve this level and scale in just over a decade suggests that his seemingly unremarkable and even somewhat unreliable Uncle Zhou possesses unique methods and ruthless tactics.

As long as they are affiliated with a for-profit organization, the Red Cross Society has no way to deal with them!

Wang Lichuan was stunned, frozen in place, unable to utter a single word.

After squeezing around for a while, he finally managed to say, somewhat stammering, "You guys can't do this. You're just a charity."

"No, boss," Old Chen said with a smile, his tone completely unhurried.

"How can it not be? You said you're selling autographed items and merchandise, right?" Wang Lichuan thought carefully and finally grasped some key issues, immediately saying, "You don't have a specific price! Your sales concept is vague!"

"This is the market price," Old Chen said with a smile.

"Do you think you're seafood, charging market price?!" Wang Lichuan retorted immediately, refusing to accept this absurd claim.

"Of course not. I'm sure you'll understand why after I explain it to you. The prices of these kinds of celebrity merchandise items are very unstable. After all, celebrities are sometimes popular and sometimes not, which is quite normal."

Old Chen explained, "When the hype is low, nobody cares. So it's not appropriate to sell autographed items and merchandise at high prices, so you naturally have to lower the price."

"Then, as the hype grows, merchandise and autographs will become more sought-after, and prices will rise. That's normal, after all, we're a for-profit organization, and we need to make a living too," Old Chen said earnestly.

Wang Lichuan's mind had completely shut down at this moment.

He was both angry and amused, and he had good reason to suspect that the other side was playing a trick on him!

The other party had absolutely no intention of sincerely communicating!
Damn, such a big entertainment company is competing with fan clubs for business. Even if these autographed items and merchandise sell out, how much money can you actually make?

Is this tiny bit of profit enough to make your artists sell a song in a day?
This is even after Xia Shen was removed from the list; otherwise, the number would be even more outrageous.

Celebrity autographs and merchandise have always been a source of revenue for fans, representing a secondary or even tertiary market.

There's really not much to eat.

Moreover, by doing this, Deep Space will not only steal fans' livelihoods, but also disrupt Xia Shen's autograph and related secondary and even tertiary markets.

Think about it, Xia Shen has always been very popular, and his autographs were also extremely rare before.

Xia Shen rarely signs autographs. As a result, there are very, very few of his autographs available on the market.

The price is very high.

The most expensive autographed photo costs 18,000 yuan.

They're even in short supply; basically, as soon as the price is announced, it sells out instantly, and a bunch of people rush to inquire about the price.

Originally, this was Xia Shen's side market, where fans could also get some benefits.

But if deep space enters the fray in this way, well, it just stirs things up.

That's it.

According to them, Xia Shen's autograph was once so cheap that you could get one for as little as two yuan!
He knew this was just an excuse; they actually wanted to donate money and give him an autograph.

But if they insist that it's a product sold at market price, there's nothing he can do.

Since there is indeed a transaction involving money and goods, the nature of the transaction can be clearly defined as a sale.

Yes, you can absolutely apply for a business license!
And that's exactly what they did.

Old Chen calmly took out a copy of the business license and handed it over with a smile: "Here you go, sir, this is our company's business license. Please take a look and see if there are any problems. Don't worry, all our procedures are compliant and complete, and we are operating legally."

"Aren't you afraid of being attacked by the fans?" Wang Lichuan said through gritted teeth.

"What's there to be afraid of? They're all printed from templates." Old Chen said calmly, "It's just that the source is indeed printed with Xia Shen's handwritten signature, and we've also marked it as a printed product, just for commemorative purposes. This is equivalent to a mass-produced product. We plan to build an industry chain, strive to grow bigger and stronger, and create new glories, hahahahaha!"

Wang Lichuan was speechless.

Because he really had nothing to say right now.

"You guys are cruel!"

He gritted his teeth and could only turn and leave.

He didn't want to leave, that's true, and he was indeed unwilling to give up.

But what's the point of doing that?

It has absolutely no effect!

Its current status is indeed a noble, unselectable state; the object cannot be selected.

You have no way to do anything about it.

Deep Space actually exploited this vulnerability.

As Wang Lichuan slunk away from deep space with his men, heading back to report and discuss with the secretary how to break the deadlock next.
The relevant information has already been circulating online.

And they attend to every detail!

Old Chen stood in the office with his hands behind his back, smiling silently.

No one knows what he is thinking.

After a long pause, he muttered to himself, "This is unbelievable! These obsessive fans are terrifying these days. They actually installed listening devices and video recorders inside our company. Luckily, we discovered it in time, hahahahaha!" (End of Chapter)
