Bride price limit: corporate norms and social discussions
Recently, a well-known domestic game company, Duoyi Network, has issued a regulation on the amount of employee bride price, which has aroused widespread heated discussions in the society. The company issued a document clearly stipulating that the value of the bride price paid by any of its employees to marry their wives should not exceed 100,000 yuan, otherwise they will be criticized and severely punished by the whole company. In the face of public opinion, Duoyi Network responded with a resolute attitude, believing that as long as it is not expressly prohibited by national laws, the company's rules and regulations or civil behaviors are valid, and even if some behaviors seem to violate the law, they may still be valid in fact. In its response, TOEIC specifically mentioned the explicit prohibition of the country's law on the use of marriage to solicit property, and asked why critics defended the so-called illegal act of "asking for a bride price", pointing out that the other party was a "hypocritical feminist", and asked: "Do women have the right to ask for a bride price?" This remark further intensified the public controversy over the regulation, triggering an in-depth discussion on the boundaries of gender equality, freedom to marry, and corporate power.

Founder Xu Bo: Huge financial disputes and the title of "China's First Father".
The personal life of Xu Bo, founder and chairman of Duoyi Network, is once again in the spotlight. He claims to be the "first father of China," a title that stems from rumors that he has 12 children with several women. Xu Bo also revealed that he had transferred a total of more than 800 million yuan to his ex-girlfriend Tang, but then Tang absconded with the money, and about 300 million yuan has not been returned. The exposure of this huge financial dispute has undoubtedly added more dramatic elements to the controversy surrounding TOEIC Network.
