Episode 23 recap: The Aidelberg Winery has been maliciously framed.
Gao Yujie reported to Qiu Yihan that their Aidelberg Winery's wines were seized by the industry and commerce department during transportation, and counterfeit wines were found. The industry and commerce department had just arrived, and the media quickly followed, and Zheng Yang felt it was premeditated. Liu Lijun told Qiu Yihan that if there was no insider in the logistics company, outsiders would not have known the timing so accurately, so it was obvious that someone was trying to sabotage the Ningxia wine industry.
Ou Yang Yixing and Qi Lu went to the logistics company to investigate, and found that an employee had only told a client the delivery time, and this incident happened as a result. Because of this, Qiu Yihan suspected that Yu Han instructed Xu, and Yu Han gave Leno advice, believing that if the promised pie did not attract the other party, they should simply deliver the pie in front of the other party.
During the transportation of the Aidelberg Winery's red wine, a male online celebrity has been following and live-streaming, and even live-streamed until the transportation vehicle was intercepted by the industry and commerce department, where a large amount of counterfeit wine was found. Under the male online celebrity's righteous condemnation, the netizens' anger reached its peak. Suddenly, there was a lot of negative public opinion about the Aidelberg Winery online.
Zhang Borao immediately organized the website fans to refute the false statements in the forums and self-media, and personally came out to defend the reputation of the Aidelberg Winery and the wine region.
Ou Yang Yixing and Qi Lu found clues from the live-streaming video, noticing that the online celebrity deliberately avoided filming the transportation vehicle for a period of time, and instead focused the camera on the sky, indicating that the vehicle was likely switched at that moment. Now that the media has come to surround the Aidelberg Winery one after another, Qin Heming felt it was premeditated, and sent Zheng Yang to quickly contact the traffic police and the industry and commerce department.
After the police investigation, it was confirmed that the vehicle in the video did not belong to the logistics company at all, and the online celebrity and the media received calls from the same person before the industry and commerce department arrived at the scene, but the phone number did not belong to the caller.
Therefore, Qin Heming told everyone that their competitors are now adopting two methods: on the one hand, they are selling at low prices, trying to quickly occupy the South China market; on the other hand, they are using various despicable means to prevent Chinese wine exports, indicating that they are already afraid of losing the Chinese market and are even more afraid of Chinese products entering the international market, so they must respond accordingly.
Qiu Yihan was very worried that this incident would have a great impact on the winery, and even the possibility of being forced to end the cooperation with Australia, so he called Liu Lijun to explain the situation. Liu Lijun told Qiu Yihan that if there was no insider in the logistics company, outsiders would not have known the timing so accurately, even if they had forged license plates, it would have taken time.
In fact, when Qi Lu and Ou Yang Yixing came to the logistics company, under their threat, the person in charge had to admit that he had only told a client the delivery time, and this person had a big background and had signed a three-year transportation contract with him.
By describing the physical characteristics of the person in charge, Ou Yang Yi Xing was shocked to discover that the person was actually Yu Han. Leno was confident that he had handled the matter carefully, and was certain that no one would be able to find him out. Qiu Yi Han, based on the clues provided by Ou Yang Yi Xing and Qin He Ming, suspected that Yu Han was acting on the instructions of the general manager to hold back that batch of goods. Qi Lu felt that in order to get to the bottom of the matter, they must find Yu Han. Ou Yang Yi Xing blamed himself for involving him again, but Yu Han didn't mind at all.
Lv Xiao Ying was well aware of Leno's character, and refused to meet with him or cooperate with him. Leno proactively contacted Mr. Dai, proposing that he unite the other oak barrel factories to raise prices, until the Chinese wineries went bankrupt and closed down. Gao Yu Jie personally went to speak with the general manager and obtained the key recording. Liu Li Jun helped resolve the customs issues, and informed Ou Yang Yi Xing, but also felt that Yu Han's nature wasn't all bad, and that he had been driven by love and used by others, and hoped that Yi Xing could help him resolve his inner conflicts.
Meanwhile, instigated by Leno, Yu Han continued to act as his accomplice, representing him in negotiations with Qiu Yi Han. But Qiu Yi Han stuck to his principles and refused the offer, stating that he had already handed over all the evidence to the police, and pointed out the one fact he least wanted to face. Embarrassed and angered, Yu Han decided to take revenge on the entire eastern foot of Helan Mountain, and wanted to acquire both the Xingxing Winery and the Aidebao Winery.
Subsequently, Yu Han invited Qiu Yi Han to attend the distributors' wine tasting event, but Qiu Yi Han had Ou Yang Yi Xing and Qi Lu attend in his stead. Watching Yu Han boastfully holding court in front of the crowd, Ou Yang Yi Xing felt very conflicted, while Qi Lu took the opportunity to tell everyone about the difficulties faced by domestic wines, and the oppression and framing they suffered from foreign wineries.
This whole scene was live-streamed by a Weibo celebrity, causing a reversal of public opinion, with netizens voicing their support. As Qi Lu introduced himself and expounded on the state of the wine industry, Ou Yang Yi Xing poured out several bottles of wine, inviting everyone to taste them. The wine was indeed very satisfying, leaving Yu Han no choice but to dejectedly leave the event, which had become Ou Yang Yi Xing and Qi Lu's stage.
The next day, Qiu Yi Han held a press conference to clarify the slanders against the Aidebao Winery, and stated that they would continue to provide higher quality wines and accept market supervision.
