And if you’re wondering what a getai legend is going to do for a living in this pandemic, let’s just say that he had been modernised…
As an influencer on Facebook.
Selling seafood.
And then other merch.
“Sell Fish Brother”
On Wang Lei’s Facebook, his banner is now changed to “Sell Fish Brother”.
The man has been live-streaming to sell seafood since COVID-19 hit, and he’s so popular, people have tuned just to watch him talk even without buying anything.
In his Facebook live videos, he has moved on from just selling to even demonstrating how to cook them.
You might want to hold your horses if you’re already licking your screen.
Because other than seafood, he also appears to be promoting merch from other merchants.
Nevermind, continue licking your screen. Cause most of them appear to be food products as well.

Who says COVID-19 destroys businesses?
And because he’s so popular…
Beware Of Counterfeit Goods
Wang Lei also noticed that somebody have used his graphics to sell T-shirts without his permission.
Unfortunately, he released the graphics of the T-shirts before production began, and some unethical merchants used those graphics to sell T-shirts before he did.
