Respect! But license plates are public resources, why can the government control the good numbers, and use it for certain purposes? What are they trying to encourage? What ills does this bring?

Laoganma’s contributions are undeniable, but government promoting superstition is illegal, the so-called 8888 numbers are all superstitious. What era do we live in?

Laoganma never put out advertising, the taste is already in people’s hearts.

They all say Chinese people are poor and hate the rich, but when they mention Ma Yun [richest man in China, founder of Alibaba] and Tao Bihua, how come no one resent their wealth? So the proposition that Chinese people hate the rich is false, Chinese people hate injustice, and unfairness. When you became rich out of your own ability, people will only respect you!

This old grandma is a businesswoman with a conscience, didn’t go public to amass a fortune because she didn’t need money. Compared to her, those businessmen who go public when they have money are all frauds.

网易福建省手机网友:

I heard Laoganma didn’t go public, so that their products are not expensive, to let people eat cheap Laoganma. A business with a conscience will never fall.
