Although the social role is a businessman, the Chen Yanchang , known as "Mr. 486", actually has the dual identities of "the founder of the group buying website" and "an internet celebrity with Taiwan independence label".
not only repeatedly "supported" Tsai Ing-wen , but also once provoked mainland public opinion. As for the incidents of donating money and materials to the "Taiwan military" and borrowing Lithuanian to show their presence.
However, once you observe your actions carefully, it is basically full of thunder and rain. As the saying goes, "Although you are polite in your mouth, you are all business in your heart."
Chen Yanchang is born in
Chen Yanchang was born at the end of 1968 in Taipei Dadaocheng . His parents divorced when they were young and their family was not well off. Therefore, they lived a perfect life even if they were mentally and materially.
His mother had a history of gambling and left debts. In a few years, the uncle owed someone another debt, so he was sent to his relative's house for foster care by his father when he was young. Adults were busy earning money to support the family and did not have enough time to take care of him as a minor.
The atmosphere and environment of the original family have greatly created his adult personality. Before he left the school, he became familiar with various part-time routines. After obtaining an education in private West Lake Commercial Vocational School, he quickly became a job and made money.
Chen Yanchang's first official job was found in Zhendan Group . Zhendan focuses on operating office equipment as its main business. Grassroots personnel naturally need to go deep into office buildings and office places to contact potential customers. To be blunt, they are just selling and orders. The character
can be said to be one of the most annoying people in the office. Many buildings have signs posted at the doors of "Sales Reject" just to keep them out.
As soon as Chen Yanchang devoted himself to this job, he set a phased goal for himself, "You must send 50 business cards every day." Of course, he would inevitably encounter various cold eyes, drive away or even scolding in the process of delivering business cards, but he still did it according to his plan. Such persistence soon resulted in top-ranking results.
If Chen Yanchang continues to follow this path and then starts his own business, his image in the eyes of most people may be frozen as a business person who is persistent, perseverance and good at seizing opportunities.
But it is obvious that he himself does not intend to just "go business in business". He decided to take a route of internet celebrities that can influence a wider population, and is also an internet celebrity linked to politics.
The birth of a Taiwan Internet celebrity
If you want to be an Internet celebrity, you need to have content and communication channels that can affect a larger population.
Chen Yanchang first runs his personal blog on the Internet. The blog content is mainly about consumer electronics . While teaching photography technology, electronic products are shared and promoted, gradually accumulating popularity in online shopping guides and evaluations, and transforming into the "486 Group Buying" website.
The group-purchased products he initially handled were mainly trendy categories such as sweeping robots and air purifiers. Due to the use of a putting themselves in the evaluation angle and not following the cooperation and promotion of manufacturers, a lot of user trust has been accumulated.
Seeing that he had performed well in group buying recommendations, the sales department of South Korea's LG Group also paid great attention to him and once authorized him the local agency rights of a new sweeper to let him conduct sales operations.
It is said that when his group buying network had the best sales results, one of the three sweepers sold in Taiwan was sold through his network.
The group buying website he and he managed was called "the first person to successfully transform into an e-commerce platform in the Taiwan industry.
At the same time, he also made full use of his identity as "the seventh generation successor of Taipei Xiahai City God Temple" to consult and pray for believers, and even used this as a subject to launch several best-selling books.
Through various operations, Chen Yanchang successfully created a virtual image with both commercial colors and Internet celebrity characteristics, and the Internet celebrity "Mr 486" gradually took shape.
As for political colors, he has long been clear-cut to support Tsai Ing-wen and the "Taiwan independence" forces.
As early as when Tsai Ing-wen was questioned for the fraudulent paper, he once spoke out to express his support; later he even took out real money to give away the concession points and launched a "72-hour discount promotion" on his own group buying website to celebrate Tsai Ing-wen's election; as for the impact of business due to his statement, he also declared that he would not take it seriously at all.
In recent years, Chen Yanchang has launched a series of short video programs "486 Meeting Room" on the Internet, and Tsai Ing-wen appeared on the list of invited guests. He also frequently donated money and materials to Taiwan government agencies and even the army to help them stand on their political platforms.
"Green" How does "Green" Taiwanese businessmen generate
There are many examples like Chen Yanchang who are involved in political factions as Taiwanese businessmen and even publicly support "Taiwan independence". For example, Cao Xingcheng, former chairman of Taiwan UMC Group, who was once "named" by Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, is a famous repetitive jumping element.
Cao Xingcheng once advocated the "peaceful reunification referendum" and packaged himself as " unification " corporate representatives were actually optimistic about the market potential of the one billion people in the mainland, intending to take the lead in TSMC to enter the mainland for layout.
In order to achieve this goal, he not only vigorously advocated "not excluding unity", but also used the curve of alliance cooperation. Hejian Technology was established in Jiangsu, and invested in the chip industry to take the lead in grabbing land.
However, it is precisely because of this series of actions that Chen Shui-bian and his institutions have launched targeted crackdowns on Cao Xingcheng, and the relevant lawsuits alone lasted for nine years. Since then, Cao Xingcheng has successively turned to other fields such as solar energy and LED, and most of them ended in failure.
Cao Xingcheng When he saw that he was not profitable, he immediately changed his attitude 180 degrees, claiming that the original call for peace was actually to avoid being "armed reunification", and began to frequently emphasize his position of "revenge on China" and "Taiwan independence". During his visit to Taiwan, Cao Xingcheng even jumped out and claimed that he donated 3 billion to Taiwan's "national defense" and threw the hat of "war" on the mainland.
Not only that, he also claimed to use NT$1 billion to promote the so-called "Black Bear Warrior" and "Protecting the Township Shooting" plans, and use the cooperation of trained militias and the Taiwan military to clamor to achieve "all people are soldiers."
His former old company, Taiwan Power, made a cut almost as fast as possible: claiming that Cao left the group more than ten years ago and no longer held any actual position. The only retained title of "honorable chairman" was also revoked by the board of directors' resolution in April of that year.
In short, , UD means that donations or statements are all Cao Xingcheng's personal behavior and has no connection with the entire company.
Cao's actions also aroused a lot of refutations within Taiwan. Current affairs commentator Huang Zhixian believes that his speech is "inverted and confused", and its essential drama is just "kneeling the beauty while scolding".
even if he was directly named by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, Cao Xingcheng had no intention of restraining himself. Perhaps out of the idea that "black and red are also red", he even wore a steel helmet and bulletproof vest made a high-profile appearance on the video, claiming that "I have upgraded the name "Taiwan independence"" and tried every means to improve his attention.
Some groups originally aimed at profit-seeking, but repeatedly jumped to "Taiwan independence" when they found that there was no profit. This is also the root cause of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council's clear statement in 2004 that "the 'green' Taiwanese businessmen are not welcomed." It is reported that after the spokesperson announced the policy, the Taiwan Stock Exchange fell immediately.
"Good Gold" donated to the "Navy"
Chen Yanchang created the "Mr 486" character and was closely connected with Tsai Ing-wen's camp. He has provided practical support for his related institutions many times, and used all means to cheer up Tsai's "green camp".
On May 12, 2020, the epidemic spread occurred in "Taiwan Navy" Dunmu Fleet . The relevant departments were busy checking the cause of the incident, and they also had to deal with the isolation of everyone in the team, which was a mess for a while.
Chen Yanchang saw this critical moment and went to "boosting morale" and donated 2 million yuan to the Navy to "add food" and also specifically claimed that he hoped to boost sluggish morale so that he could better assume the responsibility of "protecting the country".
There are "social group buying entrepreneurs" coming to demonstrate the military service. The "Legislative Yuan" and "Naval Command" also attach great importance to it. Both sides sent important officials to attend the donation ceremony so that the incident can achieve the greatest news effect.
Among them, Cai Qichang, deputy director of the Legislative Yuan, knew very well that in the context of the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the spread of the epidemic within a certain unit of the Navy will inevitably cause unstable morale and will also lead to social concerns about the navy's ability to govern the military and combat effectiveness. This has also become the fundamental reason why they must make a big show and create a healthy and upward atmosphere.
According to Cai Qichang, "486 Group Purchase" has responded to several donation initiatives before. Not only did Chen Yanchang donate money to the health department, he even directly donated 6,000 pairs of goggles for epidemic prevention to the United States.
Cai Qichang "appreciate" such behavior and repeatedly called on other enterprises in society to take "specific actions" to support it.
Lithuanian rum
Since the end of last year, Lithuania has repeatedly tested China's bottom line with a series of operations related to the "Taiwan Office", and soon "seek benevolence and get benevolence" - the diplomatic relations between the two neutral countries have been downgraded to the agency level, and economic and trade will inevitably fluctuate accordingly.
At the beginning of this year, in order to retain one of the few "ally" Lithuania, Taiwan announced that it would increase its investment in Lithuania soon, with an estimated investment of US$200 million in the early stage.
even set up a special task force to take over "Lithuanian products rejected by the mainland". Chen Yanchang, who has always been on the hot search list, is related to 20,000 bottles of rum from Lithuania.
At that time, the batch of rum that was taken over was still on the shipping route. "Mr 486" could not wait to release an update on his personal social networking website. It was an open discussion on how to drink rum, but in fact it was a sarcastic saying that "the mainland has no money to buy luxury goods."
However, what is funny is that the so-called "Lithuanian rum" was quickly dug out - it is neither high-quality nor famous, and the same wine is only sold for more than 100 yuan on Taobao. The "luxury goods" that Chen Yanchang saw in his eyes are actually "people-friendly" products.
More gimmick reversal followed. Lithuanian President Nauseda changed his mind within two days, claiming that he knew nothing about opening an agency. As soon as the news came out, the "green camp" elements who responded to the call to "drink" Lithuanian wine were like cold water, and the Lithuanian rum and Lithuanian chocolate that they had originally agreed to buy were also "not fragrant".
Even PTT, which is regarded as a pro-green forum, has also seen many voices of "Taiwan has no dignity", because Taiwan has previously shown goodwill to many countries such as Germany Czech , but the other party often takes advantage but does not give back with practical significance at all.
But Chen Yanchang, who has seized the hot spot of "Lithuanian rum" to hype it, will continue to follow this path of "excitement → magic → reality" even if he is slapped in the face once or twice.
"Going to the battlefield for Taiwan Island"
As expected, just in August this year, Chen Yanchang's next "Taiwan independence rides on hot spots" incident was released again.
The cause was caused by Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, which subsequently triggered reactions from the PLA's military aircraft around Taiwan. Chen Yanchang was excited and happy about this. He spoke on his personal blog, expressing his feelings that he was very moved that "diplomacy has taken a big step" and also swears that his whole family is willing to go to the battlefield for Taiwan.
However, within two days, he posted another update on the same blog, saying that his son had set off to return to the United States in advance because of an urgent matter.
The news immediately triggered a ridicule and ridicule from Taiwanese netizens. Some said that he "loves Taiwan with his mouth", some said bluntly, "Taiwan independence is indeed a good business", and some ridicule "I'm OK to resist China and protect Taiwan, please ask first when you go to the battlefield"... In short, most people think that this kind of high-profile Internet verbal is not credible. Once there is a little disturbance, such people will definitely be the first to run away.
However, Chen Yanchang himself was still extremely stubborn. He claimed that these questions were all attacks on him by fake accounts, and said that once there was a situation, "my son would definitely return to Taiwan as soon as possible", and even called these questions his "match".
While frequent activities on the Internet, Chen Yanchang did not give up on self-building and "Taiwan independence" propaganda from other channels.
information shows that after he ranked fourth in the "Top 100 Internet Celebrities Ranking" of Taiwan in 2020, he invested 15 million yuan to film the "Taiwan's first political drama" "International Bridge Club".
And in the Taipei mayoral election campaign at the end of October this year, he continued to appear in the public's attention and was very close to DPP candidate Chen Shizhong.
Conclusion
Standing from the mainland's standpoint, it was originally popular and actively promoted for economic and trade exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. However, because there are "green Taiwanese businessmen" like Chen Yanchang and Cao Xingcheng and there are a large number of them, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council declared its "unwelcome" attitude.
After all, it is about unity, and this is a matter of principle that there is no room for any ambiguity.
In the relevant principles and propositions of the mainland, "not interfering with cross-strait economic and trade exchanges with political differences" is an important one.
This policy should actually be interpreted in two aspects: first, it cannot "use politics to disturb the economy" and do not hinder economic cooperation and exchanges between the two sides due to political differences; second, it cannot "use economy to disturb the politics", which is aimed at Taiwanese businessmen who use the mainland as resources to make money and then divide after turning back to Taiwan.
Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council once released a list of "Taiwan independence" diehard elements. This means that for some "Taiwan independence" elements who are stubborn and even do not hesitate to test the law, corresponding punishment measures have been prepared, which is also an important step in cracking down on the "Taiwan independence" forces.
Like "Mr. 486" Chen Yanchang, a person who aided evildoers will not only face legal sanctions, but will inevitably be unable to escape the trial of history.
