What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 156 Return
Bai Xiaosheng became the public platform chosen by Pan Yuhai to speak out, which caused the Zhen Gongfu who was caught up in the quality public opinion to rise again, but at the same time also allowed the upgraded Bai Xiaosheng to continue his previous traffic.

The website was down for four days, which made many users who were used to coming here for tea parties miss it, while more users who woke up were stimulated by new events.

As the webmaster, Yu Xing still symbolically posted a post after his return, which only consisted of one sentence.

——You can’t blame me this time, right?

"Strange".

Who is to blame? Why did the website suddenly upgrade? Did they fight during the recording of the fourth episode? How did the major shareholder of Zhen Gongfu collude with this attack?
Dr. Yu's words have sparked a lot of speculation and questions.

Some people think too much, and some people...calculate it first.

On the morning of the 19th, Yu Xing received a private message from Pan Yuhai, the person involved.

"Hello, Mr. Yu, can you help me ask Ms. Xu from Today Capital what she thinks about Zhen Gongfu's development? Does she still support Cai Dabao? Is she aware of Zhen Gongfu's true current situation?" Pan Yuhai asked.

"I asked out of curiosity yesterday, and it seems that President Xu doesn't know the operation of Zhen Gongfu, at least not the financial situation." Yu Xing replied politely, "As for the rest, I think it would be better for you to communicate directly with her. If necessary, I can give you her number."

Pan Yuhai expressed his gratitude: "Okay, it is very necessary. Thank you, Mr. Yu."

After he received the number and called, he sent another private message to Yu Xing: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Xu's attitude is very cold and he doesn't support me to openly confront him. What should I do next?"

Yu Xing was a little confused.

I was confused. No, don't you have your own rules? Your manifesto is very well organized!

Er Meng, why are you asking me this? If someone who doesn't know what you said saw it, they would think I was the one behind it!

Am I someone who would be willing to get involved in this kind of thing?

Yu Xing asked enthusiastically: "Mr. Pan, what exactly do you want? It depends on what you think about this matter. My understanding of Zhen Gongfu is just the raid in recent period, so it is difficult for me to give you too much advice."

Pan Yuhai explained part of his thoughts: "According to Cai Dabiao's current thinking, he is determined to force me out, but I can't watch him take away the shares that belong to me and my sister in such a despicable way. Why does Mr. Xu support Cai Dabiao so much? Is his current way of developing the company recognized?"

Yu Xing understood that the reason why Mr. Pan asked him this was that he thought of himself as a middleman.

He said regretfully: "Boss Pan, the relationship between Boss Xu and I is not as harmonious as you think. In fact, because Bai Xiaosheng did not communicate with her about the real attack in advance, we had a small dispute."

This time, Pan Yuhai responded after a while: "For a company like Zhen Gongfu, food quality issues should be taken extremely seriously. If the company itself does not pay attention to it, then naturally the outside world will pay attention to it. Mr. Yu, I don't think there is anything wrong with your website. As a founder like me, I am very sad to see Zhen Gongfu come to this point today."

"Boss Yu, you just asked me what I wanted. Could you please ask Boss Xu if Zhen Gongfu can return to the situation where our two companies can work together? Cai Dabiao promised me that the position of president would be rotated."

Yu Xing really didn't expect that the founder of Zhen Gongfu would still ask such a question now. The contradiction has become public...

Can this still lead to a peaceful ending?

But he changed his mind and realized that the inner conflict of Zhen Gongfu was not something that happened in a short time. It had lasted for several years at least, and Pan Yuhai and his brother were just enduring it. It was not surprising that they were still fantasizing like this after having fired the first shot.

After all, Zhen Gongfu has hundreds of chain stores across the country and is favored by venture capitalists, so there are huge profits hidden in it.

If the conflict continues openly, what if the real Gongfu never recovers?

Yu Xing could guess some of Pan Yuhai's contradictory mentalities.

He thought for a while and decided to give a conventional reply: "Okay, Mr. Pan, I will pass it on to Mr. Xu."

Logically speaking, this conversation should have ended here.

However, Pan Yuhai, who had openly expressed his contradictions, sent a contradictory private message under a contradictory mentality: "Mr. Yu, do you think this matter can be resolved smoothly?"

Yu Xing gave an unconventional response: "I don't think there is hope. I don't think President Xu will support you to return to the company when Cai Dabiao is in such a powerful position. President Pan, things have come to this point. You have fabricated the charges yourself. Don't you understand?"

"Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind."

Yu Xing waited for a few minutes, but received no reply from Pan Yuhai, so he could only shake his head and turn off the computer.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, I am only in this mountain.

Pan Yuhai's contradictory demands are destined to be naive ideas.

But as an outsider, who knows what tricks are hidden in the struggle involving family, equity, and interests?
Yu Xing just felt that Biaozi was quite rude.

Fortunately, I am also a bit sharp.

The whirlpool of the real attacker is destined to not produce results in a short time.

The development of Bai Xiaosheng still needs to continue.

There is no platform like Bai Xiaosheng in the market today, which allowed the company's user activity to recover quickly and regain traffic with the help of Zhen Gongfu's second goal.

From the day Pan Yuhai started to criticize Cai Dabao, the number of Bai Xiaosheng users increased by more than 10,000 for three consecutive days.

However, after Yu Xing noticed that his employees were using real-name accounts to talk nonsense, he shouted in the company: "No real-name, no real-name, what is the anonymous function for? I just took a break for a few days, others don't know, don't you know it?"

"We need to demonstrate our main role as a platform. We just need to watch from the sidelines and conduct necessary content review!"

"If there is another upgrade next time and the company has no money left in its account, the compensation will not be that much!"

Yu Xing mentioned the details that concern everyone's vital interests.

Since Bai Xiaosheng's return, offline advertising in subways, buses, etc. has also been pushed forward. No matter whether it is Kong Huilin or Chang Haijie, they all hope to avoid any further complications and expand the company's scale rapidly while there are no unexpected problems.

With this expansion, the money in the account will naturally decrease rapidly.

By then, if the company encounters problems again, the previously generous compensation may not be available next time.

Yu Xing's straightforward words made many employees nod their heads.

However, some people bravely shouted: "So what?"

Yu Xing was amused and praised: "Good, good, very energetic."

He turned and went to the other half of the office area, still emphasizing the same content.

In the afternoon, Yu Xing convened a meeting to summarize the work since the website was restored.

The total number of Bai Xiaosheng users has reached nearly 54, which is a considerable number. The daily active users are also very good. It is time to expand revenue in order to gradually improve the company's normal hematopoietic business model.

Advertising is the easiest, but it is not enough to cover the company's operating costs.

A major task in the second half of the year is to try out recruitment business.

"We have no experience in recruiting, and I hope to recruit talented people." Yu Xing was very frank in the meeting room, without any intention of beautifying himself, "But if the talented people don't come, we have to bite the bullet and do it."

"Because there are not many revenue directions left for us to pursue. Even though we know the difficulty, we still have to do it."

“Don’t be afraid of failure. Our current user base can probably tolerate us failing twice.”

"Segmenting the market also has its advantages."

Yu Xing objectively encouraged everyone. Ever since Zhichu.com was killed, there has been no similar movement in the entire market. Everyone seems to be able to see that Baixiaosheng has achieved a certain scale of leadership, and the small market is unlikely to support two companies with similar businesses.

The mid- and high-level meeting ended.

Yu Xing also held a small meeting with Zhong Zhiling, Lu Haiying, Kong Huilin and Chang Haijie.

"Xiaoying, the price comparison website can be reopened." Yu Xing instructed his second-in-command.

Lu Haiying hesitated for a moment: "Boss Xu..."

"Don't worry about her." Yu Xing said without hesitation, "She probably doesn't bother to care about us."

The fledgling price comparison website had to be temporarily sacrificed due to copyright needs. Now that it has the money in hand and has successfully overcome the small turmoil caused by Bai Xiaosheng, it still needs to do what needs to be done.

Lu Haiying nodded, as long as her senior brother stood in front of her, it would be fine.

"The website was undergoing rectification, and I have been thinking about it at home for the past few days. What should we do if it really fails?" Yu Xing mentioned what he mainly wanted to say, "After thinking about it, in addition to e-commerce tools such as price comparison websites, do you think we should form a group to do some evaluation and earn some traffic? How about it?" The four people exchanged glances. Evaluation?

"As for testing and evaluation, we try to look at the pros and cons of products from the perspective of consumers," Yu Xing pondered. "If people want to buy something but don't know what similar products are like, they can refer to our opinions."

Zhong Zhiling hesitated and asked, "How do we make a profit? Do we collect money from the manufacturers?"

"Getting money from manufacturers is one way, and they will say good things if they are paid, but it is not suitable for us." Yu Xing said, "Bai Xiaosheng has a preliminary tone that has been accepted by users recently. We do not accept investment from large manufacturers, so, as I said just now, it is a way to earn traffic."

Lv Haiying asked: "Who is this kind of evaluation aimed at? The user group does not seem to be limited to the attributes of our existing user groups. The concept of consumers is too broad."

"Yes, but our existing user group is definitely very familiar with the Internet. When we do evaluation, we also focus on Internet users, so we have an innate advantage in starting." Yu Xing talked freely, "I think we can give it a try, that is, to form a group and open a new section to enrich the traffic. In the future, we will mainly rely on advertising and recruitment business for revenue. The new section has independent confidence in credibility."

Chang Haijie said at this time: "If we do this, the evaluation done by our team will definitely not meet the views of all consumers, and it will be easy to be attacked and belittled."

"That's something we'll have to do after we develop it." Yu Xing pondered, "However, we can first establish the evaluation standards. In short, what I mean is to try more and explore more. If it succeeds, that's the best. If it doesn't, that's not a problem."

All four of them nodded in agreement, and the project was preliminarily approved.

Lu Haiying suddenly spoke again: "Can you test the ribs?"

Yu Xing smiled and said, "Don't get mixed up with those. I prefer that everyone take this seriously. If we can build up a good reputation, it will also be in line with our title of 'Know-it-alls'. Just ask for information."

Lu Haiying said: "Okay, let's try it."

The meeting also discussed Bai Xiaosheng's goals for the second half of the year, and then it ended.

Yu Xing had just returned to the office and hadn't even had a sip of tea when he received a call from producer Xu Rongxian, asking if he would attend the program recording on Sunday, the 25th.

Xu Rongxian was also paying attention to Bai Xiaosheng's news, and after knowing that operations had resumed here, he hoped for the assassin's return.

"Okay, no problem on my end." Yu Xing agreed and said with a smile, "It seems like the program sponsorship is not something we can give up."

"It's enough that the intention is there. I think Mr. Bi is very grateful for your intention." Xu Rongxuan mentioned another piece of news, "Mr. Cai, who is really good at sex, will also participate in the recording on the 25th. Mr. Yu, please keep your temper."

Yu Xing was surprised and said, "Cai Dabiao is still participating? He has attacked his husband twice, why is he still participating in the show now?"

"Mr. Cai and you did not record the fifth and sixth episodes on the 15th." Xu Rongxuan said calmly, "He called me yesterday and said he was willing to continue recording, and then he apologized in front of the camera for the quality of the company's spareribs."

Yu Xing was still surprised: "This is not easy."

Xu Rongxuan said, "Who said it wasn't true? I didn't expect that he would have the courage to come over at this time. I wanted to ask him if he wanted to apologize for what Pan Yuhai said, but after thinking about it, I kept it in my heart and didn't ask."

Yu Xing thought about it and said, "Let's put it this way. A public apology from the boss can still have a certain effect. However, he has more than just a problem with the ribs. Isn't it risky for your production team to let him go on stage now?"

Xu Rongxuan sighed, "Personally, I tend not to let him go on the show, but the station wants him to go on the show because they want the ratings. And they can always replace him later. Alas, I have no choice."

Yu Xing pondered.

Xu Rongxuan added: "Luckily, Mr. Yu, you are back too. Anyway, it depends on how we edit the video later. The audience rarely knows our specific recording time. If you think in this way, we can still squeeze out some value."

He thought of exploiting Tang Jun, which really gave "If You Are the One" a great start.

The third and fourth episodes that followed were also good. According to audience feedback, everyone was able to accept the bosses' discussion on the business model and felt that they had gained something. At the same time, they were very interested in the traces of conflicts revealed on the scene.

However, the fifth and sixth episodes, which have not yet been aired, have made the production team a little nervous. There is no Yu Xing, no Cai Dabiao, no Li Jing, and even one episode is missing Bi Sheng. In addition, the boss has asked for leave...

Xu Rongxian has a lot of say in the program, but because of the current situation, he is only half-hearted.

"Okay, Director Xu, I will restrain myself, as long as Cai Dabao can also restrain himself." Yu Xing stated.

Xu Rongxian really likes sponsors and guests like Mr. Yu. He thanked the person on the other end of the phone for his understanding and added, "You don't have to be too restrained. It's okay if you just mock him a little."

Yu Xing: “…”

Now I know what kind of TV station it is.

"And, and, Mr. Yu, there's something else you need to pay attention to." Xu Rongxuan was about to hang up when he remembered something else. "We invited Chen Nian, who is also engaged in vertical e-commerce and the boss of Vancl. He was dissatisfied with your remarks before. Mr. Yu, you should also be mentally prepared."

Yu Xing laughed and said, "What's wrong with you guys? Are you trying every possible way to create conflict? No wonder you don't use a script."

"In fact, we invited him at first, but he didn't come." Xu Rongxian said seriously, "This time it's because you said vertical e-commerce is a dead end, and then we invited him again, so he was willing to come."

"Wait, wait, when did I say that?" Yu Xing noticed the problem.

"Chen Nian scolded you yesterday. Well, it wasn't really scolding, he just said you were an outsider." Xu Rongxian said, "It was President Bi who said you said vertical e-commerce was a dead end. He said that in Beijing."

Yu Xing felt that his reputation was inexplicably ruined, and he didn't know how this kind of words would change as it spread.

He ended the communication with Director Xu somewhat helplessly, knowing that he had to prepare himself mentally this time.

However, Yu Xing met all the expectations, but Cai Dabao, who intended to do public relations, did not seem to do so.

On the morning of the 25th, Yu Xing arrived at the recording site of Oriental Satellite TV and happened to meet Cai Dabao who was talking in the corridor. He greeted him naturally.

"Oh, you're here again? I thought you were too guilty to come."

Cai Dabiao had a blank expression on his face: "Why should I feel guilty? My company has conducted self-examination and rectification, found the problem, dealt with the supplier, and apologized to everyone. I am very sincere. You are the only one who can come here to attract traffic, and I can't come, right?"

"Okay, okay, come on, come on." Yu Xing said with a smile, "The program team needs people like you to be on the show. This way the ratings will be higher, and my advertising sponsorship will be more valuable."

Cai Dabao wanted to yell at Yu Xing again.

But he held back. Being on the show this time had strong public relations significance, and was also considered by the company as a good public platform. It was neither as embarrassing as what happened in the media, nor did it leave room for free expression.

Yu Xing noticed Vancl's Chen Nian before the show started, but since they were far apart, he didn't approach him to exchange words.

The program enters the formal recording process.

Obviously, Zhang Shaogang will not miss the opportunity to increase traffic. He has gradually understood the rules of this program and the intentions of the production team.

The first contestant enters the scene, and this one provides an entry point for a conflict with the former boss.

After introducing this, Zhang Shaogang immediately cue Yu Xing: "Welcome back our business assassin. Mr. Yu, what do you think of this job applicant's experience? Is it right for the job applicant to resist the unreasonable demands of his boss?"

“It shouldn’t be like that.” Yu Xing turned on the microphone and gave an answer that surprised everyone on the stage.

Then, he paused and continued, "Bosses have good intentions. Even if I appoint people based on personal connections, engage in related-party transactions, exclude dissidents internally, and deceive investors externally, I am still a good boss. Employees must respect me. How can they resist?"

The familiar assassin is back!

The familiar laughter at the scene is back!

The more familiar ugly expression of the boss in question is back too!
Zhang Shaogang likes guests like Yu Xing so much that he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Cai Dabao endured it again and again, but finally endured it. This was different from a private phone call where he could communicate without restraint. Today he had something important to do.

Yu Xing also remained restrained, following the producer's instructions and only making small ridicule and tests.

However, he did not expect that the program crew had also prepared a surprise for his return.

After the first contestant finished and the second contestant had not yet been introduced, Yu Xing was surprised to pick up his pre-recording resume and flipped through it again and again. It didn't match what he had in his hand.

The person taking the stage now is Lei Weiming, vice president of Zhaopin.com, an absolute industry elite.

Yu Xing couldn't help but look back at the production crew behind him and saw the smile from Xu Rongxian.

"OK, I think Mr. Lei is here for me." Yu Xing understood what he meant. He didn't care about Cai Dabiao and Chen Nian at all. He asked Lei Weiming, "Mr. Lei, I have a question. Do you have a non-compete agreement?"

Lei Weiming's goal was indeed very clear, and he answered calmly: "No, but I will leave next month. The company is a mess now. I hope the new platform will provide an environment for me to give full play to my potential."

Yu Xing clapped his hand on the lamp and said, "Come on, Mr. Lei. I can help you show your talents better than Zhaopin."
