Ye Qing leisurely saved all of Lu Tianjun's money transfer records, as well as the chat logs about how to smear the mechanical engineered chair's reputation, into a USB drive, and took some pictures to back it up.
Ye Qing didn't touch the money he took, which allowed Lu Tianjun's heart to relax a bit. Money was his lifeblood, as long as his lifeblood was there, there was still hope.
Ye Qing said to Lu Tianjun: "Do you need me to tell you what to do next?"
"No need, no need, I'll post it right away, and use a more professional way to help you clean up your mechanical engineered chair." With the evidence of his crime in someone else's hands, no matter how unwilling Lu Tianjun was, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.
"No need, as soon as you clean it up, won't Kangyuan immediately realize there's a problem with you?" Ye Qing told him not to do anything for now, and to wait until Kangyuan sends over the fake information before following his orders.
Lu Tianjun was like a featherless crow, as he weakly nodded.
"Remember, don't ever use money to post again." Ye Qing patted his swollen head, and then left.
When he drove the Lagonda back to Zhongyun city, Ye Qing first went to the electronics store to buy two HD cameras, a condenser microphone, and a long cable.
Then he went to a large health equipment store and bought a space capsule massage chair made by Kangyuan.
The chair was directly delivered to the factory at Dragon Creek Beach. Ye Qing found a random restaurant to eat dinner, and then went straight to Dragon Creek Beach.
On the way there, Xu Xiaohu called, and the content of the call made Ye Qing's mood not very good.
From noon until now, only 11 mechanical engineered chairs were sold.
Many customers were asking through customer service why the mechanical engineered chairs were so expensive, but the materials were so poor, and why they couldn't even afford to import a few automatic welding machines from abroad.
The customer service side was cursed quite harshly, so Ye Qing told Xu Xiaohu to tell the customer service girls to turn off their computers and go out for a big meal to relax.
When they arrived at Dragon Creek Beach, Ye Qing took a deep breath and logged into his computer to check the latest news on the Internet.
Lu Tianjun's Weibo had stopped updating, but Ye Qing logged in to those forums and video sites. He realized that some of the viewers were quoting Lu Tianjun's words on Weibo. They said that the chair looked like gold and jade on the outside, but it was rotten inside. If they bought it, it would be ruined in no time.
There was even a technology portal that used Lu Tianjun's comments to say that the mechanical engineered chair, which was highly anticipated by countless high-end VR players, still had a long way to go in terms of quality.
Of course, while there were those who slandered him, there were also those who supported him.
Illusion's official website had a banner saying that they were collaborating with Monster Heavy Industries to develop a VR application that would allow users to experience a virtual reality experience they had never experienced before.
They also emphasized that they had tested the Mechanical Engineered Chairs produced by Monster Heavy Industries, and that they were the best products on the market. Some people were completely slandering them.
There were also some real users of the Mechanical Engineered Chairs, who tried to defend themselves.
Unfortunately, there were too few of them. Most of the comments were sour, saying that they were paid by the company to clean up the mess.
Almost no one really cared if the company that made the Mechanical Engineered Chairs was really being slandered or not. Since they couldn't afford it, they might as well watch the show.
When night came, many tech forums suddenly flooded with new IDs and ten thousand year lurker accounts.
They all posted, from the price to the quality, criticizing the Mechanical Engineered Chairs. Many users even said that after buying the chair, it was full of problems. It didn't take long for it to break down, and the company didn't even give them a warranty.
A storm was brewing.
The Mechanical Engineered Chairs had only sold seven hundred or so of them. God knows how these countless paid posters bought them. It could only be in their dreams.
Kangyuan was the leader of the high-end massage chairs in the country, and Ye Qing's Mechanical Engineered Chairs were so high quality that they were pushed down from the leader's throne.
It was understandable that he would spend money to find people to slander him.
Now, these guys who suddenly appeared were obviously paid posters. It was very likely that other manufacturers who specialized in producing ergonomic chairs and massage chairs were adding fuel to the fire.
The lack of sales of the Mechanical Engineered Chairs must have greatly stimulated these people. This time, with Kangyuan taking the lead, they saw the opportunity and began to attack on the internet.
Beating up the main culprit, Lu Tianjun, was very satisfying, but it didn't solve the negative public opinion that had already formed.
The Mechanical Engineered Chairs had only been released for a short time. Although they had successfully caused a stir on all the major video sites, the Mechanical Engineered Chairs were still very young.
They couldn't be like those old companies with years of accumulated reputation and a huge user base. They could ignore any slandering, and there wasn't any slandering in the market.
Up until now, the Mechanical Engineered Chairs didn't even have a thousand users.
This was a very small group. Even if they made a noise, it would be drowned out by the countless people who didn't know the truth and were blocked out by the high price.
It could be said that these paid posters had successfully turned the Mechanical Engineered Chairs into a hot topic of discussion in a short period of time.
Ye Qing logged on to the Mechanical Engineered Chairs' official website, and found that it had already become the headquarters of the paid posters. There were over 500 posts on the forums, and over half of them were lying with their eyes wide open, saying that after they bought the chairs, there were all sorts of problems with the quality.
[I just bought the Mechanical Engineered Chairs yesterday, who would've thought that today, the armrests wouldn't move. I went to customer service to reason with them, but they said that it was because I didn't do the right thing, and they wouldn't refund me.]
[My remote control had a problem, I pressed the massage button, and it turned out to be a rocking chair.]
[This chair's quality is too low, and the leather has a strange smell, it's definitely man-made.]
[Haha ~ can you paid posters be a bit more professional? Remote control, do you think you're playing a race car? The Mechanical Engineered Chairs are controlled by CNC software.]
[No pictures, no truth, I've already posted my Mechanical Engineered Chairs. You haters, as long as you can post a picture of the Mechanical Engineered Chairs, I'll livestream myself eating the chairs.]
The remaining half were the true users of the Mechanical Engineered Chairs. They also treated this as their headquarters, and worked together to fight back against the paid posters.
Ye Qing sat in front of the computer, and his originally angry mood gradually calmed down as the paid posters increased in number.
A huge crisis, but also a huge opportunity.
But as long as Ye Qing grasped the opportunity today, he could turn this crisis into an excellent piece of publicity.
And what Ye Qing needed to do, was to use action to prove himself, to give the paid posters, and the people hiding behind them, a resounding slap in the face.
Didn't they say that the quality of the Mechanical Engineered Chairs wasn't good enough? Didn't they say that the soldering wasn't reliable?
Then Ye Qing would use the most convincing thing to let them see what real industrial technology was.
Walking into the workshop, Ye Qing had the peons carry two undecorated silver Mechanical Engineered Chairs.
Underneath the Mechanical Engineered Chairs was a flat aluminum alloy base. Ye Qing had the peons drill the base of the two Mechanical Engineered Chairs onto a large steel plate.
Ye Qing had the peons move the large steel plate to the corner of the warehouse, and then used screws to fix it onto the steel wall of the warehouse. Then he erected a frame in front of the steel plate.
After doing all this, Ye Qing connected the two HD cameras he bought on the way to the warehouse through a long cable.
After testing the HD camera's transmission, the image was very clear. With 1080P resolution, Ye Qing could clearly see every detail of the silver Mechanical Engineered Chairs.
The official website created by Illusion Corporation had many functions.
Not only did the front page have a lot of advertisements, but in the center, you could also insert promotional videos. At the same time, the server was rented from Ali Corporation, and the expensive unlimited traffic version.
Ye Qing used the backend control function to connect the HD video signal, and selected the live broadcast function.
And on the front page banner, there was a very aggressive and eye-catching title.
