Xu Hao was well aware of the reason behind this.

After all, Xianjin Group is an international brand. They have already made a name for themselves in the international market, leading many people to trust their brand highly and believe that what they produce must be excellent.

In contrast, although "Su Yi" brand cosmetics are very effective, they are ultimately a new product. The initial buzz from the bet with Theo was just a flash in the pan, and very few people actually remembered it.

So, in comparison, Xianjin Group's products were selling extremely well.

And now, there's a rumor circulating online— "Su Yi" brand cosmetics are actually plagiarizing from Xianjin Group!

All over the forums, there are posts cursing Xu Liu Group as shameless, but some people think that since the truth hasn't come out yet, one shouldn't easily pick sides.

Nevertheless, there's still a lot of backlash on the internet.

"There's no need to even think about it, it must be Xu Liu Group who plagiarized Xianjin Group's cosmetic formula. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Right after Xianjin Group launched this new type of cosmetics, they launched theirs too?" First published on *.

"This is the quality of our people now, using stolen technology to claim as their own. Who on earth gave them the courage? I feel utterly ashamed!"

"Fusang Country is better, with advanced technology and great integrity. I can't even describe how good they are. Compared to Huaya's Xu Liu Group, Xu Liu Group is just a pile of crap!"

Even the very few voices defending Xu Liu Group online quickly get drowned out.

When Xianjin Group launched this new type of cosmetics into the Huaya Market, it was destined for this scene to occur.

Online, Xu Liu Group practically became a street rat everyone wanted to beat, with some even saying they would support the "genuine goods" and resolutely not buy "Su Yi" brand cosmetics.

Upon hearing this statement, Xu Hao smirked. He vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Xianjin Group's product, but without actual investigation, he couldn't directly say it.

A few days ago, some employees discovered clues, and he had Jing Yuanfan investigate, but they weren't just sitting there doing nothing, so nothing came out of it.

But now, Xu Hao knew that a thorough investigation was necessary to get to the bottom of it.

He felt strongly that the other party must have plagiarized his technology from somewhere ahead of time. If the formula wasn't leaked, then they must have gotten some finished products in advance and used their technological means to analyze the components, conducted countless permutation and combination experiments to find the optimal solution, which would be his formula.

The formula's ingredients are over thirty, and if you calculate all the permutations and combinations of the components bit by bit, it takes a tremendously long time, plus you need experiments.

But, if they were extremely lucky, they might find the best or close-to-best formula in a very short time.

This is the stupidest, yet most reliable method. Besides using such means, they had no other way of obtaining the cosmetic formula.

Obviously, Xianjin Group succeeded.

Who knows which unlucky soul's years of luck was sacrificed to make this trial a success.

Xu Hao pondered for a moment and then made a post on the forum: Battle! Fusang Country's Xianjin Group plagiarized Xu Liu Group's "Su Yi" brand cosmetic formula!

This post instantly attracted countless people's attention.

Who is Xu Hao?

The chairman of Xu Liu Group!

Now that he has spoken, it is as if Xu Liu Group has officially declared war against Fusang Country's Xianjin Group!

All the onlookers gathered around, and in the blink of an eye, this post became the main discussion thread of the incident, and other posts were almost completely ignored.

However, in the comments below the post, the majority were cursing and questioning Xu Liu Group and Xu Hao.

Second floor: "Shameless! Absolutely shameless! Obviously, it's you who plagiarized Xianjin Group from Fusang Country's product formula, but now you say they plagiarized you. Simply too shameless!"

Someone replied below this comment: "The truth hasn't come out yet, and until the last moment, no one knows who plagiarized whom. Why should we, the onlookers, get involved?"

Instantly, this person was besieged:

"Oh, dear! Do you have any sympathy at all? Xianjin Group from Fusang Country sailed across the sea to release new products, and they're highly effective ones at that, and yet you still treat them like this! I want a divorce from you!"

"Reading this, I'm slapping my thighs in anger, sweating coldly despite the hot weather. What has this society come to? Such prejudice against foreigners! Foreigners are all polite, civilized, courteous gentlemen, unlike you people, a bunch of foul-smelling maggots making me sick!"
