So Pure, So Flirtatious

Chapter 735 - A Quick Counterattack

Chapter 735: A Quick Counterattack

In this age of informatization, in many cases, the influence of the Internet had even surpassed traditional media.

On the day before the Shu Ya concert, a famous news website published something similar to the editorial. It made some doubts and speculations about Shu Ya's endorsement of Liu Weishan Jewelry.

The author of this article was an expert. His ability to misinterpret the facts was exceptionally powerful. He could capture the human mind and put forward some ideas to cause some misunderstandings.

The first was the issue of the endorsement fee. The author had a subtle guess on Shu Ya's endorsement fee. Although he didn't say how much Shu Ya got, the tone of voice stated that XXX's endorsement fee had reached seven digits, and XXX's reputation was obviously not as great as Shu Ya's. Shu Ya's endorsement fee could well be imagined." With this sentence, people who read it would think that Shu Ya's endorsement fee was at least seven digits. Although this guy didn't say that with an obvious statement like "the wool is on the sheep," it still let others believed in this.

In addition, it also questioned the effect of "Liu Weishan" as a brand. The tone of the words in the line was somewhat obvious. Can the reputation of a jewelry appraiser increase the value of a piece of jewelry that is similar to those from other jewelry companies?

For this additional money, did it belong to the reputation of "Liu Weishan" or the reputation of "Shu Ya"? Or was it to pay for the high advertising endorsement fee?

This article was strongly provocative. Many netizens were the most vulnerable to being blinded. The situation where people echoed what others said was quite serious. Since ancient times, rumors could become a fact if it spread. This article was purposely shared in many local forums in the province. It suddenly caused a big wave. Under the supportive replies of a few with ulterior motives, most netizens began to support this blindly. The netizens began to question the "Liu Weishan" company. They scolded about all things. But most words were like "liar" and "earn ill-gotten money"...

Yang Ming frowned after reading the article on the internet. He simply scrolled down to the comments, and asked Bao Sanli and Zhang Dejun next to him, "What happened?"

Zhang Dejun was the head in the advertising industry of Song Jiang. He had a very deep relationship with various media and government propaganda. He had just called several familiar local media to delete the article, but the website that originally published the editorial wasn't registered in the province. Zhang Dejun's influence wasn't big enough to cover the country's media. He said nervously, "I have already talked to several local websites. Those who posted and replied provocatively, their IPs are banned. But for the website in the other province, we can do nothing."

"Find out who wrote this article. I will bring my underlings and f*cking chop him!" When Bao Sanli saw Yang Ming was worrying about this matter, he spoke resentfully.

"Forget it. If you trouble him, isn't that saying we are guilty of it?" Yang Ming waved his hand. He thought, If it had to be solved with violence, then it is more secure to do it myself.

But this wasn't the way Yang Ming handled the problem. Since he had already entered the market, then the opponents would definitely not be fewer. If he killed anyone he met, then wasn't he going to become a murderer? For those who overstepped Yang Ming's bottom line, killing them represented a kind of punishment. But if this kind of revenge took place in the market, if he killed them directly, wasn't that showing him to be incompetent?

"Then should we... lower the price?" Zhao Sisi was also a bit overwhelmed by this sudden incident.

"Lower the price? Why should we lower the price? If we lowered the price, aren't we just getting caught right into the other party's trap?" Yang Ming shook his head. "If we lowered the price, it would give someone else an opportunity to flame us. This guy will probably say that the profit is so big after comparing the price before and after. This person is obviously aimed at us. If I guess correctly, it is Yun Guangdou who did this."

"Ah! That's true." When Zhao Sisi listened to Yang Ming's words, she replied in embarrassment. If Yang Ming didn't remind her, then she would definitely have adopted the strategy of price reduction. By then, she would have given another opportunity to the other party. "Then we continue to sell at the current price, and ignore this article?"

"The sale is definitely going on, but we have to do something." Yang Ming frowned and said, "We still have to fight back. I will look for someone to deal with it. You guys do what you should do. If there is a reporter looking for an interview, just say that the chairman isn't here."

"Heh, why are we doing this also?" Lin Zhiyun felt a little funny. She often saw similar news in the newspapers. When the reporter wanted to interview the person in charge of a department, the excuse would be either the phone couldn't be reached or the person in charge wasn't there. Now her company also started to do this.

"Sometimes it is necessary to do this. If we say more, it will let others find more fault in our wording. The problem will start to expand infinitely. It is better to keep silent. Although there are still many people who doubt whether we are speechless, it is better than having faulty wording." Yang Ming tapped the back of his head helplessly and said, "I didn't expect to have a lot of trouble with the company. I previously read in those reality fantasy novels that as long as the protagonist throws the money, the company can grow bigger and bigger. When it is my turn, it is a completely different story."

However, Yang Dahai's Ming Yang Heavy Industry was developing very well. But there was a fundamental difference between this company and Yang Ming's jewelry company. First, there was Feng Wanjiang, this expert in doing business on the side of Ming Yang. Even if Yang Dahai didn't know much about business, it didn't matter. Second, and most importantly, Song Jiang Ming Yang Heavy Industry's predecessor was Song Jiang Bus Factory, a debt-ridden mess. Aside from Ming Yang Entertainment (Yang Ming claimed that the investor was Hou Zhenhan of Ming Yang Entertainment Co., Ltd.), no one wanted to take it over. Even if the factory's land was sold, it wasn't enough to pay off the bottomless pit of their bank loan, not to mention the problem of the resettlement of so many workers.

Those real estate developers were not fools. If it was profitable, they were naturally eager to get it. Who would buy something that will lose money immediately? Never mind that the land near the Song Jiang Bus Factory wasn't in the city center. Even if it was developed into a commercial house, it couldn't sell for a high price. The best result was to get rid of it without paying the extra cost. Entrepreneurs were not philanthropists. Who would do this stupid thing?

And Ming Yang Entertainment invested in the restructuring of the Song Jiang Bus Factory which solved a major problem in the city. It not only paid off the bank's loan but also rehired the majority of the bus factory's employees. How can the city not protect it and do some preferential policy? Never mind that Ming Yang Heavy Industry had introduced a complete set of commercial helicopter production lines from Europe. If this continued, Ming Yang Heavy Industry would become a leading heavy industry enterprise in the province and even the whole country. It was possible to make it a domestic "Mitsubishi."

This kind of enterprise, regardless of political performance considerations or long-term development considerations, wouldn't let the people with ill-intention to destroy it deliberately. Therefore, it seemed that Yang Dahai was doing better than Yang Ming, the behind-the-scenes boss.

Yang Ming said that he would find someone to deal with it, and this person was naturally Sun Jie. Last time, Yang Ming, Xiao Qing, and Sun Jie were a little embarrassed. After that, the three people didn't meet each other again. Although when Yang Ming borrowed a car from Sun Jie, Sun Jie didn't express anything weird to Yang Ming. Yang Ming still felt somewhat anxious. After all, the triangular relationship had been exposed. It all depended on Yang Ming and whether he could enjoy the happiness with all of them.

Yang Ming didn't expect to play something like a 3P. At least there was no such possibility in the near future. Xiao Qing was easy to handle. At least, Xiao Qing and his relationship had stabilized. Sun Jie's side was most uncertain.

Don't think that Sun Jie was bold based on her usual speech. She was also very open to the "sex" aspect. But she was a very assertive woman. It wasn't easy to completely conquer her.

Yang Ming didn't want his women to be passive, but the key issue was that Sun Jie was too assertive and she had a strong personality. It might be related to her family environment since her youth. Sun Hongjun had no son, and Sun Zhiwei was a dumb*ss. Sun Jie had to be responsible for the Sun Family.

Sun Jie had rich experience in the management of the market. The best solution to this matter was to listen to Sun Jie's opinion. Although Yang Ming roughly had an idea, he didn't know where to start. He could test the Sun Jie's intention through this opportunity.

"Take me to the Huashang Building." After leaving the company, Yang Ming instructed Bao Sanli.

Yang Ming didn't drive by himself. Yang Ming was a little annoyed because he had something in his mind.

"Brother Yang, don't worry. I'm looking for someone I know in the other province. This website is in Province P. My graduate classmate who I studied advertising with has a company over there. The scale isn't small. After I go back, I will contact him to see if I could influence this website." Zhang Dejun wasn't a fool. After meeting with Yang Ming and Bao Sanli for these few days, from Bao Sanli's respectful tone, he also noticed that Yang Ming wasn't an ordinary person. Although he couldn't guess that Yang Ming was the boss behind Bao Sanli, at least, he knew that Yang Ming was a person with a background. At Song Jiang, there were not many people who could make Bao Sanli be so respectful.

"Alright, President Zhang, I'll trouble you to contact them first. Never mind if it can't work." Yang Ming had a dispensable attitude to this. The article had caused a sensation. Deleting it now didn't have much effect.

The people who saw it had already seen it. You could delete the article, but you can't delete the memory in people's minds. If he didn't think of some countermeasures, it might be bad.
