After Sohu officially acquired hinaren, it changed to "Renren" according to Song Weiyang's suggestion and invested 10 million yuan to start the project operation.

Historically, Zhang Chaoyang had high hopes for Hinaren and spent money to advertise without any chance, attracting many students across the country to add alumni records. But that's all. Sohu was forced by shareholders to switch to e-commerce business. Except for online text messages that can make money, other projects have stalled. Due to the lack of new content in the alumni records, the user stickiness was insufficient and gradually forgotten by students.

Nowadays, Renren.com does not advertise, but is doing two things:

First, contact major universities (including colleges and universities) and many outstanding high schools across the country to try to obtain test scores from various schools. In the future, student users can search online for mid-term, final scores, even English CET-4 and CET-6 scores and postgraduate entrance examination and doctoral scores.

Second, the technical team will develop content and expand the basic functions of Renren. In the future, each user will have his own homepage, and even after passing the complex application process, ordinary primary and secondary schools can create communities on their own. Individual users can add friends to each other and communicate in a way similar to on-site emails. There is also a friend recommendation function, that is, your friends, classmates, and the website will recommend a few to you to add.

Third, companies can also apply for a community by themselves. This function will not be activated for the time being and will have to wait for the school community network to be built.

To put it bluntly, it is the primary version of faebook.

In order to attract users, Song Weiyang even asked Renren to develop small games, such as stealing vegetables on the farm.

The goal of "Renren.com" is to enrich various content features before this semester and gain more schools to join in.

Fortunately, Song Weiyang had already reminded that Sohu did not make a big deal after making money on the listing, and the financing was also larger, which was much more spare money than Sohu in history. He still holds more than 90 million US dollars in another time and space. Sohu had only less than 50 million US dollars in his hand at this time.

While Sohu's Renren project is underway, a large-scale press conference will be held in Shenghai.

70 pure water manufacturers including Xifeng, Wahaha, Zhengguanghe, Yibao, etc., all of these companies' bosses or department heads were present and announced the establishment of the "China Water Beverage Health Association" and planned to fight Nongfu Spring and Xinx Society.

The cause of the incident is as follows: In April this year, Nongfu Spring suddenly announced that it would no longer produce pure water, and would produce all natural water in the future, and only serve as a porter for nature. In addition, Nongfu Spring also released three experiments on animals, plants and cells, proving that pure water is harmful and Nongfu Spring is beneficial.

In June, Xifeng and Wahaha formed a life-and-death alliance of 70 pure water companies through private connections. Boss Zong even personally came to the scene, cursing Nongfu Spring, and then filed a complaint with five departments including the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Nongfu Spring is not showing any weakness, and continues to advertise wildly, emphasizing that it only sells healthy natural water.

In mid-July, the relevant national departments had not yet made a decision. Xinxun suddenly issued a telegram without authorization and gave the so-called "expert reminder": "Pure water should not be consumed in large quantities for a long time!"

As soon as this news came out, the sales of pure water of Xifeng and Wahaha instantly plummeted, and Xifeng's stock price also fell for the first time since its listing.

Historically, Wahaha gave up its complaint, LeBais pure water declined, and nature's porters rose strongly. But now Song Weiyang refused to give up. He asked Xifeng to give up $3 million, and Wahaha also promised to give up $1 million. The remaining 68 pure water manufacturers collectively raised $4 million, and a total of $8 million was spent to sponsor a European laboratory.

The lab was just asking several simple experiments to do a few sets of simple experiments. The other party was very happy to agree, because this kind of experiment only requires a few ordinary researchers to complete. But the accompanying requirement is that the famous biophysicist and Nobel Prize winner, Mr. Elvin Nel, must appear in China to help clarify the facts.

Generally speaking, the Nobel Prize winners are super big, and they don’t look down on these millions of dollars at all. However, Song Weiyang mobilized his relationship with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, personally sponsoring the Chinese Academy of Sciences for US$3 million, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences invited Elvin Nel to China for academic exchanges.

Erwin Nell is not the kind of noble scholar or the arrogant scientist. In fact, he often participates in commercial projects and international activities. Now his laboratory is sponsored by 8 million US dollars, and he has received an invitation from the Chinese Academy of Sciences for academic exchanges. He is very happy to take this trip.

As soon as Song Weiyang entered the venue, Boss Zong came over and said hello: "Boss Song, I have been acquainted for a long time. I finally met today. Lucky, Lucky!"

"Each of each other!" Song Weiyang said with a smile and shook hands.

Representatives of manufacturers such as Yibao, Zhengguanghe, Guoxin, and Xinli also came to shake hands and greet each other, and everyone exchanged business cards.

Guoxin's representative asked: "Mr. Song, is it really okay to have a pure water?"

"Yes, I'm still unsure." Xinli's representative also said.

It can be seen from this that Nongfu Spring not only fooled consumers, but also scared all pure water manufacturers. He really thought that their pure water was harmful to health.

Song Weiyang said: "8 million US dollars is not a waste. I personally sponsored $3 million in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and then invited the Nobel Prize winner to refute the rumors. Don't worry, pure water is not harmful. Xinxun's 'expert reminder' does not meet the scientific basis. What I am thinking about now is not whether I can regain public opinion, but whether to sue Xinxun to make false remarks!"

"Prosecuting Xinxx Club?" Boss Zong was startled and shook his head repeatedly and said, "Forget it, you can't offend the media."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Then let the new x club be one!"

The representatives of the pure water manufacturer laughed and the solemn atmosphere became cheerful in an instant.

In fact, even after more than 10 years, the "Pure Water Harm" still has an advertising market. Even CCTV has come out to report and interviewed many senior professors. These senior professors did not make direct negative judgments. Only one professor was unswerving. However, this professor did not have any cutting-edge scientific achievements. Instead, he made many achievements in health care, Tai Chi, health care and other fields, and often helped promote certain brands of water drinks.

Just Baidu's harm of pure water can search for a lot of results, and it's very clear.

As time approaches, a professor from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Elvin Nel arrived, and hundreds of reporters from the audience were whispering.

Song Weiyang personally served as the host and said straight to the point: "Okay, there are two things today. One is to refute the rumor of the 'harm of pure water', and the other is that we officially established the 'China Water Beverage Health Association'. Today, we were lucky enough to invite the laboratory of Nobel Prize winner Mr. Elvin Nel and Mr. Nel. We have already conducted a series of related experiments on pure water such as Xifeng and Wahaha... Now we are invited to read out his laboratory results."

Erwin Nel stood up with the materials and announced the experimental content and results in German. Song Weiyang even invited a simultaneous translator.

The free questioning session was soon reached, and a reporter asked: "Since drinking pure water for a long time is not harmful, why should primary and secondary school students not drink pure water, including the Shenghai government?"

Boss Zong said: "I can answer this question. In recent years, local governments have issued laws to prohibit primary school students from drinking pure water because in the past few years, a large number of pure water brands have appeared across the country due to the high profits of pure water. Many of the products of these brands do not meet the standards. After years of industry rectification, at least the 70 pure water brands on our site have no problems and are in line with national sanitary standards."

The reporter asked again: "Then why are developed countries in Europe and the United States banning drinking pure water?"

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "This news is the media that is changing the concept and confusing 'pure water' with 'pure water'. For example, the pure water mentioned in the United States is industrial-grade high-purity water and requires an industrial license to produce. This pure water cannot be directly drunk. Our pure water is just a place where impurities and bacteria in the water are drinkable."

Another reporter said: "According to scientific experiments, pure water not only does not contain trace elements needed by the human body, but also because it has super high solubility, it will also take away trace elements needed by the human body, leading to symptoms such as osteoporosis. In addition, drinking pure water for a long time will lead to acidic constitution, which is not conducive to human health."

Song Weiyang said: "Please ask an expert to explain."

Erwin Nel immediately replied: "A adult has about 40 kg of body fluids. Drinking 2 liters of water a day will not change the concentration of calcium ions. As for the pH value of body fluids, both the lungs and the kidneys can adjust it, and pure water is neutral and weakly acidic, so this regulation will not bring any burden to the lungs and the kidneys."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Song Weiyang added: "The human body is not a sieve. Can drinking water wash away trace elements?"

"Hahahaha!" The bosses and representatives of the pure water manufacturer burst into laughter.

Some reporters still bite it: "Even so, pure water does lack trace elements needed by the human body, is that true?"

Song Weiyang said: "Yes. Pure water not only lacks trace elements, but also lacks protein and vitamins. Drinking pure water only can cause malnutrition in the human body and eventually lead to a person starving to death."

Boss Zong directly retorted: "There are trace elements everywhere. Don't you know how to replenish them with eating and eating fruits and vegetables?"

"Hahahaha!" The bosses and representatives of the pure water manufacturer burst into laughter again.

Song Weiyang said: "I specifically asked Mr. Nell. He said that drinking a lot of pure water will indeed change the pH of the body fluids. But before that, the human body will be suffocated by water first because you need to drink a lot of it at one time. And drinking only one or two liters a day is completely within the adjustable range of body fluids and internal organs."

Boss Zong said: "Some merchants have ulterior motives and have caused huge losses to various pure water brands. We will choose to pursue the matter to the end!"

Song Weiyang also said: "It's not just the brand damage, but my personal reputation has also been damaged. Xifeng has been a socially responsible company, but because of rumors from a business some time ago, the reputation of Xifeng and me was greatly hit. A Jiangcheng consumer wrote to him that he thanked Xifeng for his selfless assistance during the flood, but he was very disappointed with Xifeng and me because Xifeng was selling unhealthy water to him, putting him and his family in danger! I, Song Weiyang, have become a big liar! So, I must be present in person today and must make this matter clear!"

"Boss Song and I are always on the side!" Boss Zong said in a tough tone.

The reporter asked a few more questions and finally entered the establishment of the "China Water Beverage Health Association". Boss Zong served as the president, Song Weiyang served as the vice president (released the wise), the professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences served as honorary consultant, and an official was invited to serve as honorary president, and the mineral water bosses of other brands served as executive directors and directors.

Water and beverage manufacturers across the country are joining together, clearly excluding Nongfu Spring.

Historically, Nongfu Spring later experienced the "Standard Gate" incident, so why didn't there be any relevant associations and organizations come forward to help speak? It was because from the very beginning, it had offended its peers.

The next day, more than 100 media reported collectively that Xifeng's stock price rebounded rapidly, but the sales of pure water can only grow slowly, so the losses caused are irreversible. There are still widespread doubts about pure water in society.
