On September 8, 2016, Zhuo Wei, the most famous "entertainment reporter" in the mainland, posted a Weibo, and people suddenly felt that the "First Paparazzi in China", who had been exposing celebrity gossip all day, had finally done a "personnel" job.
A Weibo content forwarded by Zhuo Wei exposed Zhang Ting's self-created cosmetics brand "TST Ting Secret" not only did not have a beauty effect, but caused a number of "disfigurement" incidents.
He commented directly: "Beauty is not in danger of being disfigured, what is the reason?" Is it to blame consumers for having an indisputable face? It's really a drooling explanation. ”
At this time, due to the boiling of the matter, the media accused Zhang Ting and her husband Lin Ruiyang of being unscrupulous merchants, regardless of whether consumers live or die just to circle money.
In the face of the pressure of public opinion gushing in, Zhang Ting immediately replied with a "small composition", recalling with emotion that it was not easy to start a business, promising to give customers a "satisfactory answer", but by the way, he introduced the brand again.
I just waited for a long time, and I didn't wait for what kind of "satisfactory answer" Zhang Ting and his wife finally gave.
Anyway, people are picture shows, money is earned, and then it's gone.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Ting attended their own product launches
Even if the company was exposed to have no business qualifications, this "TST Court Secret" mask was not affected at all, and it still sold well, attracting more stars to stand for it.
Fan Bingbing, Zhao Wei, Liu Tao, Zhang Xinyu, Lin Zhiling, Xu Zheng, Tao Hong, Wu Zongxian, Cao Ge, Ming Dao, Wang Dongcheng... The strong star lineup not only makes the melon-eating masses feel the rich connections of the couple, but also makes those disfigured consumers blame their faces for not being angry.
In 2018, the micro-business company "Darway" founded by Zhang Ting and his wife became one of the top 100 outstanding enterprises in Qingpu District, Shanghai, and it was rumored that the tax payment reached 2.1 billion yuan that year.
"Dalway" who pays 2.1 billion in taxes
Although the Qingpu District TaxAtion Department later confirmed that "Darway" actually paid only half of the tax, which was 1.2 billion yuan, such a high tax was still amazing that the couple's "gold mining" strength was too strong, completely beyond ordinary people's imagination.
It was the couple's most spectacular day, and in their intentional or unintentional disclosure, the two were worth more than 33 billion yuan together, and they had top mansions in Shanghai and all over the country.
In the pictures shown by Zhang Ting and his partners, the couple has become the "ceiling" of the micro-business community.
In the eyes of those who are eager to get rich overnight, the couple is a "micro-business godmother" and a "micro-business godfather".
A couple of gold owners in the micro-business world
Countless fortunes and enviable mansions have attracted countless fans to join the "micro-business empire" they have built.
People seem to have forgotten that in 1998, the two of them swore in Taiwan, one said "never marry again", the other said "never marry him"; they also forgot that Lin Ruiyang's agent said that Zhang Ting was "spider spirit seducing Tang Sanzang"; and even forgot that Zhang Ting was actually aggrieved and fainted on the spot at the press conference.
With the development of the two people moving to the mainland, they began to show all kinds of fancy love, began to operate micro-businesses to sell goods, and became a pair of "gods and immortals" created by heaven and earth in people's eyes.
The couple, who are a full 10 years apart in age, had to leave Taiwan because of the "scandal" that had swept away their faces, their story might have been a different story.
Zhang Ting was born on June 20, 1970 in Changhua County, Taiwan.
There are four sisters in the Zhang family, she is the third oldest, and the family lives in a hut of only more than ten square meters.
Because of the family's general economic conditions, the parents rely on street stalls to make a living, and the sisters curl up on the side to wait for their parents to collect the stalls.
Zhang Ting's parents were small traders
Sometimes it was so pitiful to look at these children, and passers-by thought they were beggars, and occasionally they would drop some change.
The family is poor, but her parents are very spoiled, she loves to eat an expensive fruit, and her parents will secretly buy it for her to eat alone.
Because among the sisters, Zhang Ting has the most flexible brain and the most talkative. When encountering difficult guests, as long as Zhang Ting comes out, he can always coax the other party into a heartbeat with three words and two words.
Zhang Ting's family portrait
Faced with a poor family situation, Zhang Ting in her teenage years was full of desire to make money, but she had no background and no way to do it.
In 1988, the 18-year-old Zhang Ting had come out of the woods as a teacher in a kindergarten, because of a shopping trip, she was discovered by a scout to participate in a series of advertising shoots, completely changing her fate.
Because of the shooting of the advertisement, Zhang Ting, who was born beautiful, immediately received a shooting invitation from the TV series "Adopted Son Does Not Teach Whose Fault".
The protagonists of this TV series are Wang Jie and Fang Wenlin, who are just red, and they are a mess in Taiwan, and they also bring the beautiful and agile Zhang Ting in the drama.
Zhang Ting in a costume film
At that time, Taiwanese director Zhao Zhenguo was preparing to shoot the movie "Business Trip to hades", and after seeing the amazing Zhang Ting, he immediately invited her to partner with the handsome young student Yang Qinghuang to shoot a scene.
Although this film released every other year did not make Zhang Ting popular, it still won her the attention of many directors and producers, and the film contract continued.
Faced with the temptation of fame and fortune, 19-year-old Zhang Ting did not hesitate to quit his job as a kindergarten teacher and jumped into the entertainment circle.
Also in this year, the 29-year-old Lin Ruiyang's career and love "double harvest", not only took over a number of film and television dramas, but also fell in love with Zeng Zhezhen, a female artist who was 9 years younger than him, and became a lover.
Lin Ruiyang and Zeng Zhezhen are in love because of the drama, and both of them have won the favor of Aunt Qiong Yao with their beautiful appearance.
Speaking of which, Lin Ruiyang stepped into the entertainment industry purely by chance.
In the early years, Lin Ruiyang, who was tall and handsome, was photographed by friends in the show business circle and recommended him to perform stage plays.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of acting experience, Lin Ruiyang's initial acting path was not smooth.
Fortunately, Lin Ruiyang was very smart, and he immediately said that he still needed to study more, and then retreated to the background and learned while doing.
After working behind the scenes to become the assistant director of the famous director Yang Dechang, Lin Ruiyang, who has been studying hard for more than two years, has benefited a lot and has also started a "director's dream".
When he was young, Lin Ruiyang was indeed handsome and handsome
With the support of Yang Dechang, Lin Ruiyang took over a lot of advertising films and MTV shooting business, and the response was also good.
The director did a good job, Lin Ruiyang still couldn't help but go to the front of the stage, Mao Sui introduced himself to become a signed artist of Taiwan Television, and replaced the popular singer Huang Zhongkun by chance, starring in a role in the TV series "The Unknown Boy".
Although Lin Ruiyang's acting skills at this time are still a bit jerky, he can't stand selling well, and the performance is "hard", when the love is thick, the "emojis" are one after another, which is impressive.
Relying on the extremely exaggerated expression style, Lin Ruiyang successfully circled a wave of fans and entered the big screen.
Lin Ruiyang when he first entered the big screen
He himself later boasted: "When you are not the first male protagonist, you must attract attention in a more exaggerated way, and maintain a consistent style, so that the audience feels your presence." Keep you in mind. ”
And this extremely exaggerated performance style has almost become an essential model for Taiwanese romance dramas after that.
Speaking of which, the later "Roaring Emperor" Ma Jingtao only copied Lin Ruiyang once.
At this time, Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting, one is a long-standing entertainment industry senior, and the other is a fledgling little dragon set, and their identities are 108,000 miles apart.
And between the two is also a Zeng Zhezhen, who is known as the "lover of film students", and she and Lin Ruiyang fell in love and soon got married and gave birth.
Lin Ruiyang and Zeng Zhezhen
Although Zeng Zhezhen gradually retired after marriage, his popularity was still far above Zhang Ting.
Zhang Ting was later familiar to mainland audiences by relying on a well-known TV series "Joke about Qianlong".
In 991, the 21-year-old Zhang Ting played the role of "Little Fish" in "Joke About Qianlong" starring Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi, because the human setting was strange and very pleasing, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
After that, the sweet-looking Zhang Ting starred in many works such as the TV series "Huang Feihong and The Thirteenth Aunt", and his popularity soared, and he jumped to the first-line actress of Baodao.
Zhang Ting in "Huang Feihong and the Thirteenth Aunt"
Zhang Ting's career has developed smoothly, and the emotional story has not fallen.
In 1992, during the filming of Qiong Yao's drama "Plum Blossom Branding", Zhang Ting and Song Yimin, who played Ma Jingtao's attendant in the play, announced that they were in love.
Song Yimin and Song Damin are famous twin male artists in Taiwan, and he can speak well and is very considerate and gentle, standing out among Zhang Ting's many suitors.
It was just when the two were in full love that Song Yimin split his legs and got along with the tender model Chen Weiling, and Zhang Ting was depressed for a long time.
Interestingly, when Song Yimin and Chen Weiling went on variety shows after marriage, they often talked about husband and wife, which was very "sexually interesting".
In a subsequent interview, Zhang Ting calmly recalled his past with Song Yimin and took the initiative to admit that he had given it to Song Yimin "for the first time".
Song Yimin was frightened, and quickly denied it, saying that his wife loved to be jealous, and "so-and-so" was still mentioning this for what?
Perhaps she met a scumbag just in love, which completely broke Zhang Ting's heart, and she has been looking forward to a man who can really be considerate and attentive to her.
At this time, Lin Ruiyang was at the peak of his career, and with the Qiong Yao drama "A Curtain of Dreams", he completely exploded on the treasure island and won the title of "Taiwan's First Little Student".
During this period, Lin Ruiyang frequently made public appearances with his beloved wife and children to continue to shape people for himself.
Lin Ruiyang with his wife and children
"Taiwan's first primary school student" plus "film student lover", Lin Ruiyang and Zeng Zhezhen became the "golden boy and jade girl" recognized in Taiwan at that time.
And all this was finally ruined in the year when Lin Ruiyang met Zhang Ting.
In 1997, the two were already popular stars in Taiwan, and it was only natural to cooperate in filming.
On the set, Zhang Ting took the initiative to go over and greet Lin Ruiyang.
The 37-year-old Lin Ruiyang has seen Zhang Ting's play and has long quietly fallen in love with this pure and lovely girl.
But when the scene saw the big living person, this "good husband" and "good father" completely fell.
Coincidentally, Zhang Ting and Zeng Zhezhen are both about 10 years younger than Lin Ruiyang, which shows that this "treasure island student" still prefers young girls.
Lin Ruiyang later recalled that he fell in love with Zhang Ting at first sight, and at that time he only felt that "the soles of his feet were tingling, and he thought that something big was going to happen."
At that time, Lin Ruiyang was hindered by identity and family, and his heart was moved, but he did not dare to act, but just greeted him in a friendly way.
But a seed of restlessness has since been buried in Lin Ruiyang's heart.
As a result, Lin Ruiyang couldn't help but often "point" to each other as a senior, and the two of them also got closer and closer.
Zhang Ting also admired the gentle and elegant Lin Ruiyang, and outside the play, Zhang Ting shouted "Big Brother Lin" to make the other party feel excited.
The two men play a lot of stories outside the play
This year, with the two people jointly starring in "Golden Night Fork" and "Life and Death", the fake drama inside and outside the play was really done, and the relationship heated up rapidly.
Zhang Ting was also very entangled at this time, after all, Lin Ruiyang had a family, and he was also a rising period of his career, and once the news was leaked, it was a major blow to the careers of both of them.
Although the underground affair between the two people is extremely tightly covered, they cannot stand up to the affair of feelings, and deceive the parties, but they cannot deceive the onlookers.
In June 1998, Zhang Ting's birthday, Lin Ruiyang quietly accompanied the shopping, the whole process of hooking shoulder to shoulder, intimate.
This scene was secretly filmed and exposed by the Long-Awaited Taiwan "Paparazzi", causing an uproar in public opinion.
In order to protect Lin Ruiyang, his agent quickly declared that this was "the spider spirit outside seducing us Tang Sanzang".
Lin Ruiyang also hurriedly defended that he and Zeng Zhezhen had actually divorced long ago, because they had remarried because of their children, and they had no feelings.
Soon, Lin Ruiyang held a press conference to announce that he and Zeng Zhezhen divorced again, saying that they would not marry their wives for the rest of their lives.
In the face of public opinion pressure, Zhang Ting's side also panicked and also held a press conference. While crying bitterly and shouting that he was not a "spider spirit", he said that he would never marry Lin Ruiyang in his life.
The climax of the whole scene was that Zhang Ting suddenly fainted when he cried so hard that the conference had to end early.
Zhang Ting, who was crying hoarsely
After this dog blood incident, the two did not contact each other for a long time.
Although Lin Ruiyang starred in several TV series in a row, he was affected by the scandalous incident, and his popularity was always tepid, and the position of "Treasure Island Xiaosheng" was immediately "laughed at" by Ma Jingtao.
It is also quite interesting to say, Taiwan's Qiong Yao drama seems to be a spell on the male protagonist.
From Qin Han and Lin Qingxia in the early years, to Liu Dekai and Chen Derong, to Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting, and then Ma Jingtao and Wu Jiani, the emotional experience is a realistic reproduction of the dog blood plot in the play.
After that, Lin Ruiyang began to fight in the stock market, acting less and less.
Zhang Ting quietly came to the mainland, and with works such as "Absolutely Beautiful Double Jiao" and "Love Through Time and Space", his fame rose and he became a "costume goddess" on the screen.
But just when people gradually forgot the story of the two people, Lin Ruiyang actually continued the frontier with Zhang Ting.
In 2000, 40-year-old Lin Ruiyang starred in the TV series "Absolute Double Glory" in Taiwan, while the 30-year-old Zhang Ting took over the TV series "Absolutely Beautiful Double Jiao", which seemed to be a coincidence and made the melon-eating masses excited.
Zhang Ting in "Absolutely Beautiful Double Jiao"
Zhang Ting, who is over thirty years old, is still young and beautiful, and there is no shortage of suitors around him, but he is still desperately acting to make money.
There is only one reason why Zhang Ting worked hard to make money: the money was given to Lin Ruiyang.
Lin Ruiyang initially made some money speculating in stocks, but after all, he was unprofessional, greedy and careless, and soon lost almost penniless.
At the most difficult time, Zhang Ting gave Lin Ruiyang all his savings from years of filming.
No matter how you look at Zhang Ting now, emotionally, Zhang Ting can be regarded as sentient and righteous.
I don't know how much money Zhang Ting gave Lin Ruiyang, anyway, he not only successfully withdrew from the stock market, but also entered the real estate market with heavy money, and finally regained his strength.
At this time, Lin Ruiyang is said to be a real estate tycoon with a net worth of tens of billions.
Since he had money, Lin Ruiyang also had no idol baggage and began to appear at Zhang Ting's side in the right light.
When Zhang Ting was filming, Lin Ruiyang went to visit the class with snacks; Zhang Ting took a break from filming, and Lin Ruiyang was generous enough to pinch her feet in public.
During this period, Zhang Ting has not officially announced her relationship with Lin Ruiyang, or whether they are just friends.
As a woman, Zhang Ting has been waiting for a final result in her heart.
On July 8, 2005, 45-year-old Lin Ruiyang finally announced his divorce from Zeng Zhezhen.
The 35-year-old Zhang Ting was still filming at the time, and after receiving a call from Lin Ruiyang, she ran to the outside of the set alone and cried bitterly for a long time.
At this moment, she could finally accept Lin Ruiyang's marriage proposal.
The two men have a penthouse in Shanghai
In fact, at this time, the two of them had already lived in a 500-square-meter mansion on the banks of the Huangpu River. The house was bought by Lin Ruiyang early, and only Zhang Ting's name was on the real estate deed.
A year later, the two quietly obtained a license to marry, but it was still kept secret.
Since he was officially promoted to "Mrs. Lin", Zhang Ting decided to perform the duties of a good wife and began a long "man-making plan".
Zhang Ting, a 39-year-old elderly mother
In 2009, Zhang Ting, a 39-year-old pregnant woman, gave birth to her eldest daughter.
Since they had children, the matter of hidden marriage could not be hidden, and Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting simply disclosed each other's identities.
In 2012, the 42-year-old Zhang Ting gave birth to a son for 52-year-old Lin Ruiyang, because he was older and had nothing to shoot.
After the child was born, the scene had no time to shoot, but Zhang Ting was a little idle.
At this time, coinciding with the booming rise of the domestic micro-business cause, Zhang Ting, who has a lot of business acumen, encouraged Lin Ruiyang to become a "micro-business godfather" and devote himself to the vigorous gold digging cause.
To put it objectively, Zhang Ting intends to do micro-business, and he is really not trapped by money.
Although Lin Ruiyang's packaging of his "real estate gangster" identity is a bit excessive, the couple's savings make the whole family worry-free at least not much of a problem.
Zhang Ting's mansion is worth more than half a billion yuan
However, Lin Ruiyang, who is already a businessman, does not resist making money, not to mention that Zhang Ting, who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, cannot be at ease to be a wife at home.
It is estimated that the couple did not expect that their micro-business career was so smooth.
Micro-business is originally a model of word-of-mouth marketing, and the two mouths rely on the star resources accumulated over the years and their own star aura, and soon became the top stream of the micro-business community.
To put it bluntly, the couple's brilliant micro-business career is each other's many years of entertainment industry networking history.
Take the "TST Court Secret" mask mentioned earlier, the initial stage of marketing is relying on the "old face" sold by Lin Ruiyang, please a bunch of friends in the circle to help promote it for free.
Celebrity endorsements are the most commonly used marketing routines for TST
After the friend who could not resist the love sent a Weibo friendship publicity, the couple immediately took a screenshot and became the testimony recommended by the celebrity platform.
Later, after some stars learned of this routine, they refused to take care of it.
However, this does not affect the couple's hard work to use a promotional poster with a celebrity's head to the level of fast pulp.
If it were not for the successive accidents of several stars in the middle, it is estimated that this poster would still have to be used.
Seeing that it is impossible not to give money, after making money, the couple can only pay money to ask for endorsements.
From Lin Zhiling, Jiang Yiyi, Luo Zhixiang, Wang Dongcheng to Chen Yiru, they all joined the ranks of brand spokespeople.
Netizens who know the inside story are not stupid, ridiculing that these stars are short of money before they are found by Zhang Ting and his wife to endorse.
Seeing that netizens do not buy so many spokespersons, coupled with the painful endorsement fees, Zhang Ting, who is 50 years old, has become a giant spokesperson himself.
This routine is also very chic, saying that "there are five nannies in the family who serve every day, and the house is so big that it gets lost" is not new. What is new is that she said that under the care of Lin Ruiyang, she has been 18 years old, and she does not like to walk, and she goes to the toilet on Lin Ruiyang's back...
Zhang Ting under the lens does have a permanent face, but netizens are even more distressed about Lin Ruiyang, who has gray hair, and has long collapsed into "Grandma Lin" with kind eyebrows.
Lin Ruiyang's hair was all white visible to the naked eye
In any case, with the blessing and careful packaging of star friends, the couple's micro-business career has indeed ascended to the sky step by step, earning a lot of money.
I have to say that the couple is very good at catching hot spots, what fire to play with.
After the rise of live reality shows, the two people played reality shows; after the live broadcast with goods, the two people began to bring goods again, anyway, high to no.
Couples live streaming with goods to play very slippery
At the same time, the couple, who are well versed in the star effect, have recruited nearly 10 million agents in the agency model across the country, most of whom are women.
According to TST's agency model, agents are divided into different levels, and each grade has a quota index and a base salary. Bonuses are based on sales performance, and the higher the team sales level, the higher the individual commission.
In addition to the strict agency distribution model, Zhang Ting also generously "shared" her husband with female micro-businessmen who are called "sisters".
In 2018, the photo of Lin Ruiyang and a strange woman with ten fingers crossed with each other was on the hot search.
The melon-eating masses wanted to watch the play, but Zhang Ting immediately clarified: The scene is all my sisters and my family.
To be so generous to allow "sisters" to be so intimate with their husbands is actually a "money" word behind it.
Because the couple's company is too profitable.
For example, the company's "gold long carbon" mask retail price of about 30 yuan / piece, and the same product in Alibaba, the price is only 4 yuan / piece.
In 2017 alone, Shanghai Dalway's revenue reached 3.6 billion yuan, net profit reached 1.14 billion yuan, and net profit margin was 31.7%.
Compared with the same profiteering hyaluronic acid, production enterprises can only sigh to themselves.
For example, Bloomage Bio's hyaluronic acid is known as "a woman's Moutai", but the net interest rate that year was only 27.2%.
Of course, so much money cannot be earned by the couple themselves, but also by these "sisters" who are "close as a family".
Lin Ruiyang also drifted away, and after becoming "Big Brother Lin" on Weibo, he claimed that "1.18 million people stepped on my shoulders to make money."
Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting's micro-business family
He was even photographed doing activities within the company, where the other party knelt down on one knee to accept a bowl of porridge handed to him.
Speaking of which, most of the "sisters" who participate in the TST micro-business model are housewives with more free time and limited economic ability, and all of them dream of living as Zhang Ting's "rich and broad wife".
There are also many people who make money by layers of agents, so they are willing to have a "grateful heart".
The couple's business model is very simple, that is, it frequently uses the wonderful past of the two people to create a legend of grassroots counterattack, and constantly harvest new leeks that are eager to get rich overnight.
In fact, only from the three characteristics of paying the entrance fee, pulling the head, and team remuneration, TST's agency model is no different from MLM.
However, the people who really make a lot of money from the couple have to be the star partners.
After all, acting for many years is not as good as making money by doing micro-business with the couple.
Taiwanese artist Ming Dao signed Zhang Ting's company, incarnated as the company's "mascot", and was repeatedly photographed interacting "intimately" with female client female agents.
Ming Dao also did not lose, after so many years of acting, did not earn any money, but soon after joining the company, he was happy to mention a floor by the Huangpu River.
Mingdao also joined the TST family
In 2020, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Ting bought a building for office space for 1.7 billion yuan, and an entire floor was donated to Mingdao.
Also gifted a whole floor is actor Tao Hong.
Among the many partners of TST, Tao Hong is Zhang Ting's most famous "good girlfriend".
They met because of drama and because of money.
Zhang Ting and Tao Hong met, it is said that because when cooperating with Xu Zheng in "Love Through Time and Space", Tao Hong came to visit the class when he had nothing to do, and as a result, he became a girlfriend with Zhang Ting, and then became a shareholder of the company.
They met because of drama and because of money
In the couple's Shanghai Dalway, Tao Hong held a total of 6.6% of the equity and received more than 400 million yuan in dividends.
Due to the interests, Tao Hong and Xu Zheng are also actively promoting products.
During the release of Xu Zheng's "Hong Kong 囧", TST launched a "囧膜", and when Xu directed the variety show to do movie promotion, he did not forget to cue this product.
As for Tao Hong, she interacted with Zhang Ting when she had the opportunity, and the brand promotion almost did not fall.
Because of this, at the end of November 2021, due to Tao Hong's sudden withdrawal from Zhang Ting's company, it triggered a strong curiosity among the melon-eating masses.
At present, the company of Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Ting is being investigated for suspected pyramid schemes. Although the couple righteously stated that their company was fine and that the products met the standards, they were immediately punched in the face by the People's Daily.
Shortly after the investigation, the People's Daily published a commentary, "People's Daily Comments on Zhang Ting's Company's Suspected Pyramid Scheme: Cutting Off the Tumor of Online Pyramid Schemes."
And the friendship boat that relies on interests is often overturned.
Zhang Ting and his wife just had an accident here, and the star "sisters" who were intimate in the circle immediately took the stage and deleted all the interactions they had had.
In April this year, according to a report released by The Paper, Shanghai Dalway Trading Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dalway"), the operating entity of "TST Court Secrets"), was suspected of engaging in marketing activities, and 96 properties of the couple were officially seized, with a total property value of up to 1.7 billion yuan.
The micro-business empire of Zhang Ting and his wife has collapsed
From the screen "costume goddess" to the suspected pyramid scheme "micro-business godmother", if the 52-year-old Zhang Ting chooses to retire after finally harvesting love and family, it may be another family story.
But when her ambitions and desires reach the limits that are not allowed by national law, her elaborately fabricated life and human designs will be exposed.
To paraphrase Zhang Ailing, Zhang Ting's "gorgeous robes, but crawling full of fleas" have been weaving over the years.
