I started this venture company primarily to uplift minority entrepreneurs.

The founders Sebastian Fies and Jess Frenette were seeking 1 million from the business tycoons in exchange for 18% share of their business.

創始人塞巴斯蒂安-菲斯和傑絲-弗雷內特希望從這些商業大亨那裡獲得 100 萬美元，以換取他們企業 18% 的股份。

The founders claim they have transformed the popular Asian beverage into a convenient and healthier, refreshing drink.

創始人聲稱，他們已將這種廣受歡迎的亞洲飲料改造成了一種更方便、更健康的清爽飲料。

Ready to drink experience.

They also said they introduced two new innovations to the boba industry.

However, Simu called out the entrepreneurs for not including any Asian representation or consultation in the creation or marketing of the product.

然而，Simu 指責企業家們在產品的創造和營銷過程中沒有包括任何亞洲代表或諮詢。

Ultimately accusing them of cultural appropriation, he said, he is concerned with the company's idea of disrupting the bubble tea industry because it's something very near and dear to his Chinese culture.

他說，他對該公司顛覆珍珠奶茶行業的想法感到擔憂，因為這對他的中華文化來說是非常親近和珍貴的東西。

One person to react to this story was Tom Cruise.

湯姆-克魯斯（Tom Cruise）是對此事作出反應的人之一。

Tom commented underneath an article about it saying, very interesting perspective that I felt was a little shut down.

湯姆在一篇相關文章下面評論說："非常有趣的觀點，我覺得有點閉門造車。

I think we should be listening to what he has to say.

我認為我們應該聽聽他怎麼說。

So it seems like Tom is on Simu's side for this and thinks that people are not listening to him and are instead shutting down his opinions instead of valuing them and trying to learn from him.

這樣看來，湯姆似乎是站在西姆這一邊的，他認為人們沒有傾聽他的意見，反而封殺了他的意見，而不是重視他的意見，努力向他學習。

The business did respond to the comment Simu made by saying, one of our partners for the product is in Taiwan and that's the cultural tie.

對於 Simu 的評論，該公司迴應說，我們的一個產品合作伙伴在臺灣，這就是文化紐帶。

Despite this response, a lot of fans and Simu himself are not happy about this.
