Recently, a milk tea shop called "Natural Stay" opened by Guan Xiaotong was sued by a Wenzhou Ouge Catering Management Co., Ltd. on the grounds of a contract dispute over the franchise. The so-called franchise dispute refers to the dispute caused by an enterprise that has registered trademarks, patents and other business resources, that is, the franchiser licenses the business resources owned by the franchiser to other operators to carry out operations in accordance with the specific business model stipulated in the contract, and at the same time pays a certain amount of operating expenses to the franchiser.
In the case of Guan Xiaotong, the general meaning is that many franchisees have chosen to join this milk tea shop and paid a lot of money for the star effect that Guan Xiaotong has brought. After joining in, not only did it find that the actual business situation was very bleak, Guan Xiaotong did not care about it, many franchisees thought that Guan Xiaotong had cheated money, so they were very angry, and they went to the Internet to ask for explanations and the franchise fees they paid.
According to the revelations of these franchisees, the milk tea brand of Natural Stay is suspected of false publicity, and its brand side claims that it uses real milk and real tea, but in fact, it uses some creamer, and the creamer eating too much is obviously harmful to the body.
In addition, the franchisee further questioned that the brand did not have a commercial franchise license at all, that is to say, there was no qualification to open the franchise at all. If this is true, this will become a black spot for Guan Xiaotong to accompany her entire acting career.
For such disputes, The natural side also responded quickly, saying that Ms. Guan Xiaotong was not the subject of the contract and had never participated in any of the company's operation and management work. The implication is that this dispute, whether it is right or wrong, has nothing to do with Guan Xiaotong's affairs, but naturally stays with its franchisees and consumers.
It is reported that Chengdu Natural Stay Catering Management Co., Ltd. was established in August 2020, of which about 35% of the shares are in the hands of Guan Xiaotong's father. Although Guan Xiaotong himself did not directly participate in the shares, he was also a store manager, and on the official website of Natural Stay, he has always been promoting that he was founded together with Guan Xiaotong.
Judging from the related information, Guan Xiaotong does not have direct contact with the company, but Guan Xiaotong has been using his star effect to promote this company. From a legal point of view, whether Guan Xiaotong is responsible for this matter or not, from a moral point of view alone, her behavior is criticized by people. Because many fans will buy these products related to them for their own love beans, the result is now a problem, and the star himself needs to bear some responsibility for this.
Previously, Guan Xiaotong suffered losses because of the promotion of plant meat, which caused many ordinary people who believed in her to suffer, and many people mistakenly thought that these plant meats were really some good things. For the plant meat incident, Guan Xiaotong himself has not yet responded positively, and now there is a milk tea shop incident, I hope that Guan Xiaotong can respond well and shoulder his social responsibility as a star.
