　　LIANG TAO sold 80 pink Givenchy bags in 12 minutes. Becky Fang sold 100 Mini Cooper cars in just five minutes. Both are wanghong, literally "red-hot on the web". Every day millions of Chinese search social media for wanghong posts or watch live-streams for wanghong's opinions on everything. The fans are helping wanghong to make money out of their popularity-and to shake up the country's e-commerce(电子商务) industry in the process．

　　A few of wanghong have been hired by luxury brands. Jaeger﹣LeCoultre, a Swiss watchmaker, hired Papi Jiang for a video ad targeting young people, including her 27 million fans on Sina Weibo, a Twitter-like microblog. Zhang Yi of iiMedia Research, a consulting firm, estimates that up to 15% of sales on shopping sites like Taobao or social-media apps such as WeChat are influenced by wanghong's public support. The length of a dress might be decided by a survey of a wanghong's fans; its launch date might be based on the number of hits, shares or comments it collects, some of which can cause last-minute design changes.

　　This poses a new challenge for retailers (零售商), whose supply chains must respond even more quickly to wanghong's opinions. While previously a company would look for a celebrity to match its image, wanghong and their admirers are shaping goods.

Another challenge comes directly from wanghong themselves. They increasingly make money not merely from online support or advice but by launching their own e-commerce stores. Sales of goods accounted for just under half of wanghong earnings of 53bn yuan （﹩8bn） in 2016, estimates Analysys, a Chinese market-research firm (the rest came mostly from live-show tips and ads).
