On September 8, 2016, Zhuo Wei, the most famous "entertainment reporter" in the mainland, posted a Weibo post. People suddenly felt that the "China's No. 1 paparazzi" who broke the news about celebrities and gossip all day had finally done something "personnel". A microblog reposted by
Zhuo Wei revealed that Zhang Ting 's self-created cosmetics brand "TST Family Secret" not only did not have cosmetic effects, but caused many "disfigurement" incidents.
He directly commented: "Beauty is not enough to be disfigured, what is the reason? Could it be that the consumer is to be blamed for having an unsatisfactory face? This is really an explanation worth spitting on."
, Zhang Ting and her husband Lin Ruiyang have been accused of being unscrupulous merchants, disregarding the life and death of consumers just to collect money.
Facing the pressure from the flood of public opinion, Zhang Ting immediately responded with a "small composition", expressively recalling that it was not easy for him to start a business, and promised to give customers a "satisfactory answer", but by the way, he also introduced the brand After a while.
just waited for a long time, and did not wait for what kind of "satisfactory answer" Zhang Ting and his wife finally gave.
Anyway, it is a picture show, the money is earned, and then it is gone.
Zhang Ting and his wife attended their own product launch
Even though the company was revealed to have no operating qualifications, this "TST court secret" mask was not affected at all, and it was still a big seller, attracting more stars to its platform.
Fan Bingbing , Zhao Wei, Liu Tao , Zhang Xinyu, Lin Zhiling , Xu Zheng , Tao Hong , Wu Zongxian , Cao Ge , Ming Dao, Wang Dongcheng ... The powerful star lineup not only makes melon eaters feel The rich contacts of the couple also make those consumers who have been disfigured can only blame their faces for "not living up to expectations".
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. There are rumors that the tax payment reached 2.1 billion yuan that year.
"Darway" paid 2.1 billion yuan
Although the Qingpu District tax department later confirmed that "Darway" actually paid only half of the tax, which was 1.2 billion yuan, but such a high tax fee is still amazing. The couple's "gold-making" strength Too strong, completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
That was the most glorious day for the couple. According to their intentional or unintentional disclosure, the two of them have a combined net worth of more than 33 billion, and they own top luxury houses 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 world.
In the eyes of those who desire to get rich overnight, one of the couple is the "Godmother of Wechat Business" and the other is the "Godfather of Wechat Business".
The wealthy couple
of the micro-business world has countless wealth and enviable mansions, attracting countless fans to join the "WeChat business empire" they built.
People seem to have forgotten that in 1998, the two swore in Taiwan, one said "never marry again", the other said "never marry him"; they also forgot that Lin Ruiyang's agent called Zhang Ting a "spider spirit seducing Tang Sanzang”; I even forgot that Zhang Ting was so wronged at the press conference that he fainted from crying on the spot.
As the two immigrated to the mainland to develop, they began to show their affection in various ways, and started to operate micro-businesses to sell goods. They have become a "fairy couple" created by nature in people's eyes. If
, a couple with an age difference of 10 years, had not had to leave Taiwan because of the "scandal" that swept away their face, their story might have been different.
On June 20, 1970, Zhang Ting was born in Changhua County, Taiwan.
There are four sisters in the Zhang family, she is the third child, and the family lives in a hut that is only over ten square meters.
Because of the mediocre financial conditions of the family, the parents rely on street stalls to make ends meet, so the sisters huddled up and waited for their parents to collect the stalls.
Zhang Ting's parents are small traders.
sometimes look at these children so pitifully that passers-by think they are beggars, and occasionally drop some change.
's family is poor, but her parents dote on Zhang Ting very much. 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 mind and the best talkative skills. When encountering difficult customers, as long as Zhang Ting steps in, he can always coax the other party into elation with a few words.
Zhang Ting's family portrait
Facing a difficult family situation, Zhang Ting was full of desire to make money when he was a girl, but he had no way to do it because he had no background.
In 1988, the 18-year-old Zhang Ting was already a slim figure and worked as a teacher in a kindergarten. Because of a shopping trip, she was discovered by scouts and participated in a series of commercial shootings, which completely changed her destiny.
Because of filming commercials, Zhang Ting, who is naturally beautiful, immediately received an invitation to shoot the TV series " Adopted Sons Don't Teach Whose Mistakes ".
The protagonists of this TV series are Wang Jie and Fang Wenlin , who are just as popular. They are very popular in Taiwan, and they also made popular Zhang Ting, who is delicate and smart in the play.
Zhang Ting in the costume film At that time, Taiwanese director Zhao Zhenguo was preparing to shoot the movie "A Business Trip to the Underworld". After seeing Zhang Ting, who was astonished, he immediately invited her to film with the handsome boy Yang Qinghuang.
Although the movie released the next year did not make Zhang Ting a big hit, it still attracted the attention of many directors and producers, and the film appointments continued.
Facing the temptation of fame and fortune, 19-year-old Zhang Ting quit his job as a kindergarten teacher without hesitation and jumped into the entertainment circle.
It was also in this year that the 29-year-old Lin Ruiyang had a "double harvest" in career and love. Not only did he take on many film and television dramas, but he also fell in love at first sight with Zeng Zhezhen , a female artist 9 years younger than him, and became lovers.
Lin Ruiyang and Zeng Zhezhen fell in love because of drama, and both of them won the favor of Aunt Qiong Yao with their beautiful appearance.
Speaking of it, Lin Ruiyang stepped into the entertainment circle purely by accident.
In the early years, Lin Ruiyang, who was tall, straight and handsome, was spotted by friends in the entertainment industry and recommended him to act in stage plays.
It's a pity that Lin Ruiyang lacked acting experience, and Lin Ruiyang's initial acting career was not smooth.
Fortunately, Lin Ruiyang is very smart. He immediately said that he still needs to learn more, and then retreated behind the scenes, learning while doing.
After working behind the scenes as a director and assistant to the famous director Yang Dechang, Lin Ruiyang, who has been studying hard for more than two years, has benefited a lot, and he also has a "director's dream".
Lin Ruiyang was really handsome when he was young
With the support of Yang Dechang, Lin Ruiyang took on many commercials and MTV shooting business, and the response was also good. Director
did a good job, but Lin Ruiyang still couldn't hold himself back and wanted to go to the stage, so he recommended himself to become a signed artist of TV station , and by chance, he replaced the popular singer Huang Zhongkun , and starred in the TV series "The Unknown Boy" a role of .
Although Lin Ruiyang's acting skills were still a bit jerky at this time, he couldn't stand the fact that he was good-looking and "worked hard" in his performance.
Relying on his extremely exaggerated expression style, Lin Ruiyang successfully gained a wave of fans and entered the big screen.
When Lin Ruiyang first entered the big screen
he boasted afterwards: "When you are not the leading actor, you have to attract attention in a more exaggerated way, and maintain a consistent style, so that the audience can feel your Exist. Remember you.”
This extremely exaggerated performance style has almost become a must-have model for Taiwanese romantic dramas.
Speaking of which, the later "Roaring Emperor" Ma Jingtao just copied Lin Ruiyang once.
At this time, Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting, one is a senior in the entertainment industry who has debuted for a long time, and the other is a fledgling who is nothing, and their identities are very different from each other.
Moreover, there is Zeng Zhezhen known as the "student lover in the film industry" between the two of them. She fell in love with Lin Ruiyang and soon got married and gave birth.
Lin Ruiyang and Zeng Zhezhen
Although Zeng Zhezhen gradually retired after marriage, they are still far more popular than Zhang Ting.
Zhang Ting later became familiar to mainland audiences, thanks to a movie that everyone heardThe well-known TV series "Joking about Qianlong".
991, 21-year-old Zhang Ting played the role of "Little Yuer" in "Joking about Qianlong" starring Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi . impression. After
, the sweet-looking Zhang Ting became a first-line actress in Taiwan by virtue of her appearance in the TV series "Huang Feihong and the Thirteen Aunts" and many other works.
Zhang Ting in "Huang Feihong and the Thirteenth Aunt"
Zhang Ting's career developed smoothly, and his emotional story did not fall behind.
In 1992, while filming the Qiong Yao drama "Plum Blossoms", Zhang Ting and Song Yimin who played Ma Jingtao's attendant in the play announced their love.
Song Yimin and Song Damin are well-known twin male entertainers in Taiwan, handsome in appearance, eloquent, considerate and gentle, standing out from Zhang Ting's suitors.
Just when the two were in full swing of love, Song Yimin cheated on him with tender model Chen Weiling , Zhang Ting was so angry that he was depressed for a long time.
What's interesting is that Song Yimin and Chen Weiling often talked about their husband and wife when they were married in variety shows, which was very "sexually interesting".
Zhang Ting calmly recalled his past with Song Yimin in a subsequent interview, and voluntarily admitted that his "first time" was with Song Yimin.
Song Yimin was terrified, and quickly denied it, saying that his wife was very jealous, why does "so and so" bring this up now?
Maybe she met a scumbag when she first fell in love, which completely broke Zhang Ting's heart, so she has been looking forward to a man who can truly considerate and treat her with heart.
At this time, Lin Ruiyang was at the peak of his career, and with the Qiong Yao drama " Yilian Youmeng", he was completely popular in Taiwan and won the title of "Taiwan's No. 1 Niche".
During this period, Lin Ruiyang frequently made public appearances with his beloved wife and children, continuing to shape his personality.
Lin Ruiyang and his wife and children
"Taiwan's No. 1 student" plus "film student lover", Lin Ruiyang and Zeng Zhezhen became the "golden boy and jade girl" unanimously recognized in Taiwan at that time.
And all of 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 for them to cooperate in filming.
On the set, Zhang Ting took the initiative to greet Lin Ruiyang.
37-year-old Lin Ruiyang has watched Zhang Ting's play, and has long been secretly in love with this pure and lovely girl.
But the moment he saw the living man on the scene, this "good husband" and "good father" fell completely.
Coincidentally, both Zhang Ting and Zeng Zhezhen are about 10 years younger than Lin Ruiyang, which shows that this "treasure island niche" still prefers young girls.
Lin Ruiyang recalled afterwards that he fell in love with Zhang Ting at first sight, and at that time he only felt "the soles of his feet were numb, and he thought something big was about to happen".
At that time, due to his status and family, Lin Ruiyang was so excited, but he didn't dare to act, and he just greeted him friendly.
But a seed of restlessness has been buried in Lin Ruiyang's heart since then.
Therefore, Lin Ruiyang couldn't help but often "point out" each other as a senior, and the two got closer.
Zhang Ting also admired the gentle and elegant Lin Ruiyang very much. In and out of the play, Zhang Ting shouted "Brother Lin" so that the other party's heart was surging.
The two people have a lot of stories in and out of the play
This year, with the two co-starring in "Golden Yaksha" and " Love from Life to Life", the fake drama inside and outside the play was actually done, and the relationship heated up rapidly.
Zhang Ting was also very conflicted at this time. After all, Lin Ruiyang had a family and his career was on the rise. Once the news leaked, it would be a major blow to their careers.
Although the two of them concealed their secret relationship extremely closely, they couldn't stand the matter of their relationship. They could deceive the parties involved, but they couldn't deceive the bystanders.
In June 1998, Zhang Ting celebrated his birthday, and Lin Ruiyang quietly accompanied him to go shopping, hooking shoulders and backs the whole time, and being intimate.
This scene was secretly photographed by the long-awaited Taiwanese "paparazzi" and broke the newsCome, cause an uproar in public opinion.
In order to protect Lin Ruiyang, his agent hurriedly declared that it was "a spider spirit outside seducing us Tang Sanzang".
Lin Ruiyang also hastily argued that he and Zeng Zhezhen divorced a long time ago, and they remarried because of their children, and they no longer had feelings for each other.
Soon, Lin Ruiyang held a press conference to announce his divorce from Zeng Zhezhen again, saying that he would never marry a wife again.
Faced with the pressure of public opinion, Zhang Ting also panicked and held a press conference. While crying bitterly and shouting that he is not a "spider spirit", he said that he would never marry Lin Ruiyang in his life.
The climax of the entire scene was that Zhang Ting suddenly passed out when he was crying hoarsely, and the press conference had to end early.
Zhang Ting, who was crying hoarsely,
After this bloody incident, the two really did not contact each other for a long time.
Although Lin Ruiyang starred in several TV dramas in a row, his popularity has remained tepid due to the influence of scandals, and Ma Jingtao immediately "laughed" at the position of "Treasure Island Xiaosheng".
It's also interesting to say that Taiwan's Qiong Yao dramas seem to be a curse for the male lead.
From the early years of Qin Han and Lin Qingxia, to Liu Dekai and Chen Derong, to Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting, and then Ma Jingtao and Wu Jiani, the emotional experience is all the realistic version of the bloody plot in the play.
After that, Lin Ruiyang began to move to the stock market, acting in fewer and fewer plays.
Zhang Ting quietly came to the mainland, and gained fame with works such as " Stunning Twins ", " Love Through Time and Space", and became a "goddess in costume" on the screen.
But just when people gradually forgot their stories, Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting actually reconnected.
In 2000, 40-year-old Lin Ruiyang starred in the TV series "Peerless Shuangjiao" in Taiwan, while 30-year-old Zhang Ting took over the filming of the TV series "Peerless Shuangjiao". This seemingly coincidental event excited the melon-eaters again.
Zhang Ting in "Peerless Twins"
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 so hard to make money: all the money was given to Lin Ruiyang.
Lin Ruiyang made some money at first by 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 filming for many years.
No matter how you look at Zhang Ting now, emotionally, Zhang Ting can be regarded as affectionate and righteous.
didn't know how much Zhang Ting gave Lin Ruiyang. Anyway, he not only got out of the stock market smoothly, but also entered the real estate market with a lot of money, and finally he was able to regain his strength.
At this time, Lin Ruiyang was said to be a real estate tycoon with a net worth of tens of billions. Now that
is rich, Lin Ruiyang no longer has the burden of being an idol, and starts to appear by Zhang Ting's side in an open and honest manner.
When Zhang Ting was filming, Lin Ruiyang went to visit the set with snacks; Zhang Ting took a break from filming, and Lin Ruiyang generously pinched her feet in public. During the period of
, Zhang Ting has not officially announced her relationship with Lin Ruiyang, or said that they are just friends.
As a woman, Zhang Ting has been waiting for the final result.
On July 8, 2005, 45-year-old Lin Ruiyang and Zeng Zhezhen finally announced their divorce.
35-year-old Zhang Ting was still filming at the time. After receiving a call from Lin Ruiyang, she ran outside the set alone and cried for a long time.
At this moment, she could finally accept Lin Ruiyang's marriage proposal.
The two were in a top-floor mansion in Shanghai
In fact, at this time the two had already lived in a 500-square-meter mansion on the banks of the Huangpu River. The house was bought by Lin Ruiyang early on, and only Zhang Ting's name was on the real estate certificate. A year later, the two quietly obtained a marriage certificate, but they still kept it secret from the outside world.
Since he was officially promoted to "Mrs. Lin", Zhang Ting decided to fulfill his duties as a good wife, and started the long "human creation project".
39-year-old pregnant woman Zhang Ting
In 2009, 39-year-old pregnant woman Zhang Ting gave birth to her eldest daughter. Since
was bornLin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting simply disclosed each other's identities openly and generously.
In 2012, 42-year-old Zhang Ting gave birth to a son for 52-year-old Lin Ruiyang. Because he was too old, there was nothing to film.
After the baby was born, there was no time to film the movie, but Zhang Ting couldn't take it easy.
At this time, just as domestic micro-businesses were booming, the business-minded Zhang Ting encouraged Lin Ruiyang to become the "leader of micro-businesses" and devote himself to the vigorous gold-digging business.
To be objective, Zhang Ting's plan to start a micro-business is really not because of money.
Although Lin Ruiyang over-packed his "real estate boss" status a little too much, but at least it is not a big problem for the couple's savings to make the whole family have enough food and clothing.
Zhang Ting's mansion is worth more than half a billion
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 a wealthy wife at home.
estimated that the couple never expected that their micro-business career would be so smooth.
Wechat business was originally a model of word-of-mouth marketing. Relying on the celebrity resources accumulated over the years and their own star aura, the couple quickly became the top of the wechat business world.
To put it bluntly, the couple's brilliant micro-business career is the history of each other's connections in the entertainment industry for many years.
Take the "TST court secret" mask mentioned above as an example. The marketing at the initial stage was based on the "old face" sold by Lin Ruiyang, and a bunch of friends in the circle were invited to help promote it for free.
Celebrity endorsement is TST's most commonly used marketing routine.
Can't resist a friendly friend posting Weibo After the friendly publicity, the couple immediately took a screenshot, which became a strong proof of the recommendation of the celebrity platform.
Later, when some celebrities knew about this routine, they refused to talk to them anymore.
But this didn't affect the couple's insistence on using a promotional poster with a star's headshot on it to the point of wrapping it up. If
hadn't happened to several stars in the middle, it is estimated that this poster will have to be used.
Seeing that it would be impossible not to give money, the couple after making money can only pay for someone to speak for them.
From Lin Chiling, Jiang Yiyi, Luo Zhixiang, Wang Dongcheng to Chen Yiru, they all joined the ranks of brand spokespersons.
Netizens who know the inside story are not stupid, teasing that these celebrities were hired by Zhang Ting and his wife because they were short of money.
Seeing that netizens don't buy so many endorsers, and also feel distressed about the expensive endorsement fees, 50-year-old Zhang Ting simply became the spokesperson of a wealthy family. The routine of
is also very unique. It is not new to say that "there are five nannies in the family every day, and the house is too big to get lost". What's new is that she said that she was 18 years old under the care of Lin Ruiyang, and she didn't like to walk, and Lin Ruiyang carried her to the bathroom...
Zhang Ting's appearance is indeed eternal, but netizens are more distressed about their hair The gray Lin Ruiyang has long since collapsed into a kind-hearted "Grandma Lin".
Lin Ruiyang's hair is completely white to the naked eye
No matter what, with the blessing of celebrity friends and careful packaging, the couple's micro-business career has indeed reached the sky, earning a lot of money.
I have to say that the couple are very good at catching hot spots and playing with whatever is hot. After the
live broadcast reality show rose, the two played reality show; after the live broadcast brought goods, the two started to bring goods again, anyway, it was too high.
The couple had a great time playing live with goods
At the same time, the couple, who are well versed in the celebrity effect, recruited nearly 10 million agents in the agency model across the country, most of whom were women.
According to TST's agency model, agents are divided into different levels, and each level has quota indicators and basic salary. The bonus commission depends on the sales performance. The higher the sales level of the team, the higher the personal commission.
In addition to the strict agency distribution model, Zhang Ting also generously "shared" his husband with female micro-businessmen who are commensurate with "sisters".
In 2018, a photo of Lin Ruiyang interlocking fingers with a strange woman became a hot search.
The melon eaters wanted to watch the show, but Zhang Ting immediately clarified:It's my sisters, my family.
is so generous to allow "sisters" to be so affectionate with their husbands, but there is actually a word "money" behind it.
Because the couple's company is too profitable.
For example, the company’s "Golden Bincho Carbon" mask retails at about 30 yuan per piece, while the price of the same product on Alibaba is only 4 yuan per piece.
In 2017 alone, Shanghai Darwin's revenue reached 3.6 billion yuan, with a net profit of 1.14 billion yuan and a net profit rate of 31.7%.
Compared with hyaluronic acid, which is also profitable, manufacturers can only feel inferior.
For example, Bloomage Biotech’s hyaluronic acid is known as “Women’s Moutai”, but the net profit rate was only 27.2%.
Of course, it is impossible for the couple to make so much money by themselves, and it has to rely on these "sisters" who are "as close as a family".
Lin Ruiyang also disappeared. After becoming "Big Brother Lin" on Weibo, he claimed that "1.18 million people stepped on my shoulders to make money".
Lin Ruiyang Zhang Ting and his wife’s big wechat business family
were even photographed engaging in activities inside the company, and the other party knelt down on one knee to accept a bowl of porridge from him.
Speaking of which, most of these "sisters" participating in the TST micro-business model are housewives with more free time and limited financial means, and all of them dream of living like Zhang Ting's "rich family and rich wife". Among these agents of
, there are many people who make money by relying on layers of agents, so they are willing to have a "grateful heart". To put it bluntly, the business model of the
couple is very simple. It is to frequently use the wonderful past of the two to create a legend of grassroots counterattacks, and constantly harvest new leeks who are eager to get rich overnight.
In fact, TST’s agency model is no different from MLM in terms of the three characteristics of paying entry fees, recruiting people, and team compensation.
However, it is the celebrity partners who really make a lot of money from the couple.
After all, acting for many years is not as good as making more money doing micro-business with the couple.
Taiwanese artist Ming Dao signed with Zhang Ting's company, became the "mascot" of the company, and was repeatedly photographed interacting "intimately" with female clients and agents.
Ming Dao is not at a loss. After so many years of acting, he didn't earn much money, but soon after he joined the company, he liked to mention a floor by the Huangpu River.
Ming Dao also joined the TST family
In 2020, Zhang Ting and his wife bought a building for office space at a cost of 1.7 billion, and gave Ming Dao an entire floor.
was also given a whole floor, as well as actor Tao Hong.
Among TST's many partners, Tao Hong is Zhang Ting's most famous "good girlfriend".
They met because of drama, and because of money.
Zhang Ting and Tao Hong knew each other because when they collaborated with Xu Zheng on "Love Through Time and Space", Tao Hong came to visit the set when he had nothing to do. As a result, Zhang Ting became best friends with Zhang Ting, and then became a shareholder of the company.
They got acquainted because of drama, and because of money
In the couple’s Shanghai Darwin, Tao Hong holds a total of 6.6%equity, and has received more than 4 billion dividends.
Due to their interests, Tao Hong and Xu Zheng are also actively promoting the product.
During the release of Xu Zheng's " Hong Kong囧", TST launched a "囧film".
As for Tao Hong, he interacted with Zhang Ting whenever he had the opportunity, and the brand promotion was almost never over.
Because of this, at the end of November 2021, Tao Hong's sudden withdrawal from the company of Zhang Ting and his wife aroused strong curiosity among the people who eat melons.
Right now, the company of Zhang Ting and his wife is being investigated for suspected pyramid schemes. Although the couple justly said that their company was fine and their products met the standards, they were immediately slapped in the face by " People's Daily ".
Not long after the investigation, "People's Daily" published a comment - "People's Daily commented on Zhang Ting and his wife's company suspected of pyramid schemes: eradicate the cancer of online pyramid schemes".
The boat of friendship, which is maintained by profit, often turns over as soon as it is said.
Zhang Ting and his wife just had an accident here, and those celebrity "sisters" who are intimate in the circle immediately unfollowed and deleted all previous interactions.
In April this year, according to a report released by 澎湃News , because Shanghai Darwin Trading Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Darwin"), the main operating company of "TST Family Secret", was suspected of engaging in marketing activities, 96 properties owned by the couple were seized. Officially seized, the total value of the real estate was as high as 1.7 billion yuan.
Zhang Ting and his wife’s micro-business empire has collapsed
From the screen "goddess of ancient costume" to the "godmother of micro-business" suspected of pyramid schemes, if 52-year-old Zhang Ting chooses to retire after finally reaping love and family, it may be Another family fun story.
However, when her ambitions and desires touch the scope not allowed by the laws of the country, her carefully fabricated life and persona will be exposed.
To paraphrase Zhang Ailing , Zhang Ting has worked hard to weave "a gorgeous robe, but it is full of fleas".
