Mr. Tian, the owner of an online agricultural product store in Weifang, Shandong Province, caused an unexpected sales frenzy due to a misunderstanding of the platform's rules of activities, which led to the wrong price of ginger in the store. In less than half an hour, more than 76,000 orders of ginger in Mr. Tian's store were placed, and the amount of each order was only about one yuan. However, if the goods are shipped at this price, he will face a loss of at least 3 million. Faced with such a predicament, Mr. Tian had no choice but to close the store and sought the help of the platform's customer service to handle the refund. At the same time, he also called on netizens on social platforms to help forward the information, in order to solve the remaining more than 60,000 orders as soon as possible.
This incident has triggered us to think deeply about the agricultural product e-commerce industry. In this case, Mr. Tian caused such a huge loss because of his misunderstanding of the rules of the platform's activities, which is undoubtedly a profound lesson. This reminds us that understanding and following the rules is crucial in our business activities.
At the same time, this incident has also aroused widespread attention and positive response from the majority of netizens. After seeing Mr. Tian's help-seeking message, many netizens expressed their willingness to assist in refunds, and some netizens even posted screenshots of their own refunds, calling on other buyers to refund together. This kind of action of helping each other and asking for refunds together not only shows the kindness and enthusiasm of netizens, but also reflects the spirit of mutual assistance in the online community and the power of public opinion.
However, this incident has also exposed some problems in the agricultural e-commerce industry.

Secondly, the complexity of the rules of platform activities cannot be ignored. Mr. Tian made such a mistake because of his misunderstanding of the rules. Therefore, e-commerce platforms and merchants need to have a deeper understanding and study of the rules of platform activities to ensure that their business activities meet the requirements of the rules.
In addition, Mr. Tian's experience reminds us to be humble and cautious in our business activities. No matter how familiar we are with the business and how well we know the market, we should not take it lightly.
