Chinese Billionaire Sells Canned Fresh Air to Raise Awareness about the Environment



It was bound to happen at one point , I guess . Was launched recently by Chen Guangbiao , a famous Chinese businessman and philanthropist , a line of canned fresh air collected from different parts of China and Taiwan . The product is called " Chen Guangbiao : Nice Guy " and sells for about $ 0.80.

It is no secret that China has a huge air pollution problem , but while authorities do not seem to taking any action to resolve it , billionaire Chen Guangbiao , aka " Brother Biao " is trying to raise awareness in a very original way . She recently began selling canned fresh air collected from the " revolutionary " areas of China , including Jinggang Mountain in Jiangxi Province and some ethnic minority areas and Taiwan . " One only has to open the can , directly ' drink ' it or put the nose close to the tin breathing deeply , " said Chen . He also mentioned there is a chip on the tin , and during the " process of packaging " , when the negative oxygen ions reach a certain concentration the lid is triggered by the chip and closed . And because the compressed is , it stays within the cans even without cover , claimed the quirky philanthropist . Before the big launch of " Chen Guangbiao : Nice Guy " canned already , Brother Biao said he was confident of success, because there are many people in big cities inhaling air mixed with vehicles consume daily dying for a breath of fresh already .

Chen first announced his great idea back in August , but it received some negative feedback from Internet users accused the humanitarian showing off and questioned his right to sell already , because it does not really belong her . In the meantime , Brother Biao has changed his approach to marketing , and now says its not only fresh , but also from revolutionary areas of China . He also mentioned he is donating part of the proceeds to the Chinese military , to support their efforts in defending the Diaoyu Islands . And if that was not enough to convince people not to buy her canned already , he also told them to hold the empty cans , as he will buy it back for 10 years , for about $ 7 each .

But come on , nobody is going to fall for the old canned routine already , right ? Wrong , " Chen Guangbiao : Nice Guy " can be flying off the shelf from the first day they were introduced , and they sold out in a matter of days . It is clear that this is not about making a profit , because Chen is actually a billionaire , and 100,000 cans at $ 0.80 probably pocket change for him , but maybe he'd just have to prove to himself that he really sell anything.
