A scandal involving Chinese actress Jing Tian and "crypto billionaire" Sun Yuchen has created an unlikely winner: Zhang Xiaoquan, a venerable Chinese brand known for its nail clippers and knives. The controversy, which includes allegations of surrogacy and financial disputes, has inadvertently drawn significant attention to the 400-year-old company.
Sun Yuchen, who has been dubbed the "King of Cutting Leeks" and is reportedly living in the United States, posted a lengthy, detailed, and allegedly fabricated account titled "My Girlfriend Jing Tian." While Sun claims the post is fictional, its specific details have fueled the public discourse surrounding the actress. Jing Tian has responded urgently to the allegations, attempting to quell the firestorm.

Amidst this celebrity drama, Zhang Xiaoquan, a brand founded in 1628 during the Ming Dynasty's Chongzhen era, has become a surprising beneficiary. The company, already a publicly traded entity, has been humorously referred to by netizens as a "nail clipper concept stock." On the day of the report, its stock price reached a monthly high of 30.5 Chinese yuan (approximately 143.5 New Taiwan dollars), marking a 3.25% increase.
