They launched the agency <strong>Three Sheep Network<\/strong> with a partner three years later, which works with hundreds of social media personalities and live-streamers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/perezhilton.com\/chinese-farmer-jing-dies-after-influencer-zhang-performs-good-deed\/\"><strong>Related: Elderly Farmer Dies In China Right After Influencer Performs Good Deed For Him<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, the company sparked backlash in September 2024 when they started selling mooncakes, which are traditionally consumed during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Qingyan reportedly began promoting \u201cHong Kong Meisun Mooncakes,\u201d which he claimed were from an over two-decade-old \u201chigh-end brand\u201d and made in Hong Kong. However, regulators reportedly soon discovered the influencer allegedly lied after launching an investigation! The mooncakes reportedly were produced in the southern Guangdong province and had never been sold in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>Three Sheep Network apologized on their Douyin account for \u201cfalsely advertising and misleading consumers\u201d and promised to \u201cconduct thorough rectifications within the company.\u201d The government ended up fining them nearly 70 million yuan \u2014 or $10.3 million! Damn!<\/p>\n<p>Plus, all their social media accounts were suspended from live streaming! And while Three Sheep Network\u2019s signed content creators continued business as usual, the brothers didn\u2019t\u2026 until now! One of them is back and with an eyebrow-raising new business venture!<\/p>\n<p>In June, an account called <strong>Three Sheep Group Class<\/strong> reportedly released promotional videos for offline e-commerce classes taught by Zhang Kaiyang, the older brother. The advertisement claimed the course is to train beginners who want to make money through live streaming, and he would show students how to boost online traffic and choose a theme for video creation. But the catch? Uou must pay a hefty price to learn all this through Kaiyang! A three-day course costs 1,980 yuan or $290, while a 28-day course is 19,980 yuan or around $2,950! Yeesh!<\/p>\n<p>The course quickly went viral, but days later, the twins\u2019 company deleted all the course promotion videos AND removed the purchase links! They didn\u2019t explain why they withdrew the classes. Something tells us, though, that it has to do with the fact that they\u2019re not even allowed to live stream these days! We mean, why would anyone want to spend their money to learn how to become a live streamer from them, especially after they got in trouble before? Just saying!<\/p>\n<p>Thoughts, Perezcious readers?
