Chapter 432 This is the power of money: Making merchants across the universe pay for romance
After Jing Tian's "underwater supermarket" sparked a lot of jokes and discussions among netizens, its commercial value was immediately revealed.

After all, right now the entire internet is paying attention to them.

Jing Tian's "underwater supermarket" is indeed very interesting, especially the whale shark spicy strips, which have become a meme for many netizens!
It has become synonymous with snacks to some extent!

After Jing Tian posted her "Underwater Snack Shop" on Weibo, topics such as #SpicyStripsWhaleShark# and #UnderwaterPotatoChips# quickly dominated the trending searches. The brand, with its keen sense of smell, immediately launched a "Underwater Snacks" marketing war, with various outrageous collaborations leading netizens to exclaim, "This generation of merchants knows how to piggyback on others' success!"
Of course, they wouldn't just randomly engage in "extortion" tactics; they would communicate with Shengshi Pictures beforehand and obtain authorization before using "extortion" as a marketing method.

First is Weilong, a brand famous for its spicy strips.

Weilong's official Weibo account immediately posted a photoshopped image—a cartoon of a whale shark holding a spicy snack on the packaging, captioned: "@Jingtian, the real underwater spicy snack is ready! (Does CEO Chen need to endorse a shark?)"

Netizens added insult to injury:

"I suggest making a 'bulletproof glass packaging version,' otherwise I'm afraid whale sharks will swim in at night and steal our food!"

"Wow, this is amazing! So here's the question: does the whale shark spicy snack taste like shark?"

Following closely behind is Three Squirrels' underwater gift pack, "Dried Fish Assassin"!
Three Squirrels quickly launched the "Underwater Snack Shop" limited edition gift box, which contains dried fish-shaped cookies, coral-shaped chocolates, and even comes with a "Chen Mo's LED Snack Lamp" (actually a mini flashlight).

"I bought 'Whale Shark Spicy Strips' as soon as they were released, only to find that they were just regular spicy strips cut into the shape of shark fins. This is a cheap imitation of 'underwater starry sky' to 'underwater scam'!"

"Light bulb effect: Buyer's show VS Seller's show ≈ Jing Tian's dreamy underwater world VS My fish tank"

"This is even possible?"

Haidilao's official Weibo account released a poster for its new product: one half of the hot pot is covered with LED light balls to simulate a "starry sky", while the other half is floating with chili oil "lava". The caption reads: "Since we can't go to the bottom of the sea, let's scoop up the starry sky! Order now and get an 'oxygen mask' (actually an apron)."

Netizens were in stitches because of their ridiculous antics:

"Last time it was 'The Vanishing Sausage,' this time it's 'Landing on a Star,' will the next one be 'Space Tripe'?"

"I suggest renaming it 'Haidilao · Metaverse Branch,' since the actual product is more different from the promotional images than the distance between Earth and Mars!"

"They really can scoop up anything, but they spent 20 million yuan to do it, and you can experience it for only 2,000 yuan at Haidilao, even if it's a knock-off!"

Even more bizarrely, food delivery services have come up with new and innovative ideas.

A delivery rider got a glowing helmet from somewhere and wore it while delivering food, calling it "Underwater Romance Delivery." However, a netizen accidentally filmed the incident.

"The way the delivery guy was running with his glowing helmet on looked just like a glowing jellyfish fleeing for its life."

This series of merchant activities has amazed countless netizens and marketing bloggers.

"You think Chen Mo is wasting money, but little do you know, true financial power is getting businesses to pay up in no time!"

"So many businesses are doing co-branded promotions, do you really think it's all for free? Chen Mo has probably already recouped his investment. In other words, the Pacific Starburst that everyone's seeing probably didn't cost him a single penny, and he probably even made a lot of money! That's real financial power!"

Netizens joked: "Sister Tian's Weibo post supports half of the food industry. I suggest Chen Mo directly organize 'Underwater Double 11' next time!"

"A true marketing genius! This is Chen Mo's true colors! No wonder those who say Chen Mo is wasteful can only be sour online. You think you're on the third level, but Chen Mo is already in the atmosphere!"

Of course, it wasn't actually that exaggerated, but overall, this wave of licensing did indeed recover a significant amount of losses.

So to some extent, what these marketing bloggers said isn't entirely wrong.

Actually, these are just minor issues; the real major expense is the tourism industry!

Before Chen Mo organized this event in the Maldives, he had already reached a cooperation agreement with them.

Otherwise, why would Chen Mo do this in your Maldives?

It's just that there's no public announcement about it.

In fact, this surge in visitors boosted the local tourism industry in the Maldives. The "Underwater Starry Sky" theme saw a surge in bookings in the short term, with a 300% increase compared to usual!
So, although Chen Mo seemed to have spent money, in reality, after considering all the factors, he didn't actually spend much.

Of course, the reason this incident generated so much buzz is because Chen Mo is in the entertainment industry, and his women are also celebrities, which naturally attract attention.

That's why we got this result.

Getting back to the main point, of Chen Mo's seven women, only five posted messages, while the "Fairy Sister" and Zhang Yuqi remained silent for a long time.

Many netizens and fans waited for a long time but never received a post from them.

This immediately sparked another round of wild speculation.

"Oh no! The first five posts were all within an hour of each other, but our fairy sister and Yuqi haven't made a move for two hours already. What's going on?"

"Are you playing the role of 'the vanished woman' here?"

"Something's not right, nine out of ten things are wrong. Has the master of impartiality failed him?"

But what is the truth?

The main reason is that Chen Mo went all out last night, and Zhang Yuqi, that tiger-woman, brought it on herself. As for the fairy sister, she just accidentally hurt the co-driver.

So, the next day, while all the other women were up, the two of them were still fast asleep. Naturally, they didn't post on Weibo immediately.

Of course, netizens probably don't know these things.

So, this has created another trending topic.

It wasn't until the hashtag #TheDisappearedTwoSisters# trended on social media that Zhang Yuqi finally posted a "Versailles" video in the evening—in which she was directing staff to move a whale shark pattern made of LED light balls from the outside of a submarine onto the deck of her private yacht, with the caption: "Sorry everyone, I was just discussing with Chen Mo how to bring the 'Starry Sky Whale Shark' home as a night light~ (winks)."

They also added accompanying pictures, which are also quite interesting.

She stood in front of the submarine hatch making a V sign, with an LED galaxy behind her cascading down to form the letters "BZ," captioned: "Underwater Starry Sky 2.0? No, this is the global premiere of #PacificStarburst#!"

Zhang Yuqi: You guys post pictures, I'll post the actual product!

Chen Mo: I should have applied for 'immovable cultural relic' protection (doge)

"Good heavens, I almost thought I was really trapped in a shark cage! I was about to call the police!"

"I have a feeling that my sister is hiding something from us. (Touching her chin.JPG)"

"Could it be because Chen Mo picked her last night? Tsk tsk, I'm so envious!"

Meanwhile, Zhang Yuqi launched a fierce attack on Chen Mo.

"It's all your fault! Ugh, I almost gave myself away! Why didn't you wake me up?" Zhang Yuqi said angrily.

Chen Mo shrugged and said, "They told me not to wake you up!"

Chen Mo decisively shifted the blame, though it wasn't really a shift; that was the truth.

He originally wanted to wake her and the fairy sister, but the women all threatened him with their eyes.

Meanwhile, the fairy sister was still curled up in Chen Mo's arms like a kitten, fast asleep. Chen Mo thought of the madness of last night and saw the tear stains still remaining in the corners of her eyes, but he couldn't bear to wake her up.

Unexpectedly, this led to a nationwide "wanted" list for them.

When the fairy sister woke up, she was still a little dazed.

The main problem is that she really endured an unbearable burden last night!
Because the other women all said they wanted Chen Mo to have a baby soon, since, as a master of impartiality, the other six all have children now, and she's the only one who doesn't.

So Chen Mo must have been taking good care of her, which resulted in her being extremely exhausted. She barely slept a wink last night, and it would be a miracle if she could even get up this morning.

The "Fairy Sister's" Weibo account was only updated late at night.

However, it unexpectedly sparked even bigger laughs.

At first, Chen Mo was actually struggling with what kind of exclusive scene to create for the fairy sister.

The phrase "flying on a sword" actually suits her quite well, after all, one of her iconic roles is Zhao Ling'er in "Chinese Paladin".

Moreover, the origin of the term "fairy sisters" is also due to the character of Little Dragon Girl in The Return of the Condor Heroes.

They're all fantasy and martial arts stories.

But wouldn't that overlap with Zhao Liying's image?

Chen Mo racked his brains, but it was only after seeing that she never forgot to bring her beloved pet on the plane that he realized that our fairy sister was actually a cat lover. So he had a flash of inspiration and made a cat paw rose.

Chen Mo really put his heart into this, and the results were indeed quite impressive.

The reason why the picture posted by the "fairy sister" has sparked a new round of laughter is that the "rose" she posted was surrounded by cat paw-shaped LED light clusters, the glowing jellyfish formed the words "cat food can", and a Pomeranian with a disgusted look was squatting in the corner of the porthole.

The caption reads: "He said there are no cats underwater, so he built an underwater cat café, but Xiaobai seems to think the fish-flavored canned food isn't fragrant enough? (sigh)"

The netizens below burst out laughing.

"While others receive roses, the fairy sister receives cat paws—that's so Liu Yifei!"

"Pomeranian: Why should a land animal like myself participate in marine romance? (Old man on the subway looking at his phone.jpg)"

"Chen Mo's attention to detail in serving water +1: Romance for cat lovers must include a pet-related negative review segment!"

"So here's the question: why did you post on Weibo so late? What did you do all day?"

"Is there even a need to ask? I can guess that the Master of Balance has balanced everything except one thing!"

"So the question is, what other master of impartiality is Mei Duanping?"

"For example, other women are already mothers, but this fairy sister is still a fairy sister, not a fairy mother!"

"puff!"
