What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 48: Hard-core ( words, please give me a monthly ticket)

Song Yufeng listened in on Sina's entire telephone interview with Yu Xing.

As a journalist, well, as a former journalist, he found many of the responses quite impressive.

In addition to using the doctor-patient relationship to describe the current situation, there is also harsh criticism of NetEase.

——I advise NetEase, if you are sick, treat the disease, if you are not sick... that is impossible, I have worn a white coat for several years.

——My friend said that this is NetEase paying tribute to me. OK, then my post today is also a tribute to it.

——NetEase is too arrogant. It could have just waited for a while, at least until its own reports are no longer on the portal website, right?

Of course, Yu Xing also responded to some business issues, which did not go beyond the scope of the previous interview. He just took advantage of this storm to clarify the content of the project.

Song Yufeng waited until the end of the phone interview before talking about his feeling: "Yu Xing, Mr. Yu, I had a feeling I wanted to say but forgot to say it. You are indeed very calm when accepting interviews. When I interviewed many people before, they didn't speak as organized as you."

Yu Xing just smiled at the compliment: "Yeah, am I packing my luggage neatly?"

It's hard to judge.

But Song Yufeng still commented conscientiously: "It is indeed neat."

The travel expenses are efficient, the recording is efficient, the coercion is efficient, and the biting is efficient.

"Okay, after you finish eating and drinking, and you're not drunk, you can go back by yourself. I have something else to do." Yu Xing stood up to pay the bill and said, "I'm treating you to this meal, and you don't have a job anymore, so don't be polite."

Song Yufeng made a "tsk" sound and felt as if he was stabbed again.

He wanted to take a walk in the dark and chat with the mastermind, but he didn't expect that Yu Xing was not just talking casually and really wanted to deal with the matter over the phone, so he had to go home in disappointment.

When Song Yufeng got home, his girlfriend Yin Baoyi had already returned.

Because of the GuiAi.com incident, the two fell into a cold war.

"Why are you back so late?" Yin Baoyi asked coldly.

Song Yufeng wanted to talk about what happened in the company today, but for some reason he felt it was boring. He shook his head and did not answer.

Yin Baoyi didn't ask any further questions and just watched TV.

Song Yufeng sat in the study, facing the computer, looking at the unfinished manuscripts inside. His fingers rested on the keyboard, and he suddenly felt sad.

It’s gone, it’s gone, nothing is left.

It seems that the only thing left is to leave a clear conscience in this world.

The next morning, Song Yufeng woke up earlier than usual. After a simple wash, he still went out with his backpack. He even subconsciously took the subway to the company, but just as he was about to enter the station, he realized that he didn't need to go.

Fortunately, not long after, I received a text message from Yu Xing on my mobile phone, which contained the contact information of the Penguin reporter.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Song Yufeng waited for the reporter.

Different from the sadness of last night and the confusion of this morning, he was refreshed after drinking a cup of coffee. Facing his former colleagues, he recounted what happened in a lively manner and expressed his unwillingness to go along with the crowd.

Because he had prepared a speech beforehand, Song Yufeng inevitably used Penguin as a target when he mentioned NetEase and his own position, but he did not care about it at all, believing that his former colleagues would delete these issues.

The interview didn't end until noon.

"Kong Huilin, let me treat you to a meal." Seeing that it was time for dinner, Song Yufeng invited his former colleague to have dinner together.

Kong Huilin shook her head and did not accept the invitation, but she expressed her admiration and said sincerely: "No, I will go back and eat later, Song Yufeng, I really admire you for being so angry. Frankly speaking, if I were in your position, I couldn't do it."

Song Yufeng said modestly: "As a journalist, I have been in the industry a little longer than you. I have also encountered various things, but I can't always stand up. Sometimes, my heart is like a dark room, but this time, I just want to open the window..."

He spread his hands and said with a smile: "Guess what?"

Kong Huilin listened quietly.

Song Yufeng sighed: "I didn't open this window completely, but I just pushed it open a little, and the sunlight outside pierced in despite the darkness, and the room suddenly became bright."

Kong Huilin stood in awe.

She can't do it, so she admires those who can do it.

Song Yufeng didn't say anything polite and stretched out his right hand.

Kong Hye-lin shook hands with her former colleague, using a little force to express her feelings.

Song Yufeng said goodbye to her and walked out of the cafe.

Kong Huilin watched the back of this ethical reporter gradually disappear, and she was touched and fell into deep thought.

If a person looks tough, speaks tough, and acts tough, then he is tough.

……

The school network still withdrew the article.

However, the reports from Sina and Penguin emerged, and the voices of the two parties involved also appeared on a larger scale, and their words were also very memorable.

——I really didn’t expect that business competition would be more intense than the doctor-patient relationship.

——If NetEase is no longer a media with an attitude, then I can only express my attitude. If NetEase doesn't give me an attitude, I will give it an attitude. One is an entrepreneur. His background is that he gave up medicine to do business, and his words are humorous.

One was when NetEase interviewed the person involved. His attitude was tough and showed great journalistic ethics, and he directly confronted the company.

It has been proven that the founder of Guiai.com did not lie and the newly established "NetEase Dating" did have the problem of forced innovation. What is even more sensitive is that this innovation came from the internal circulation of interview reports.

According to Song Yufeng's statement, Director Ying Jiadong had inquired about the relevant projects before the report was published, and later even asked himself to inquire with Guiai.com in an attempt to obtain more clear survey data.

This kind of nature is quite bad.

At the same time, as Sina and Penguin reported on this, users on the campus network who noticed this incident also expressed dissatisfaction. Where was the manuscript of the college student Cao Gen? Why did his manuscript disappear?
More people flocked to Yu Xing's homepage to leave messages of support, and some people spontaneously forwarded the links to the Sina and Penguin reports to the campus network.

For three consecutive days, the founder of Guiai.com criticized the incident, a NetEase reporter defected, and Sina and Penguin reported on it one after another... However, NetEase has not responded yet, and even the "NetEase Dating" business is proceeding normally.

Under such circumstances, Zhong Zhiling, the third in command of Guiai.com, called the eldest brother to offer advice.

"Brother Xing, let's sell Song Yufeng. This will create another layer of reversal in public opinion. He is a reporter with integrity who has just been portrayed, but suddenly he falls. This will definitely attract more traffic."

Zhong Zhiling gave his own observations and suggestions.

Yu Xing didn't respond for a long time. After a long time, he sighed and questioned: "Zhi Ling, didn't you say that you have a good character?"

"Business is more important. I am willing to sacrifice my character." Zhong Zhiling is now in charge of the Lin'an market. He has been very worried since NetEase really entered his market. He said without hesitation, "Brother Xing, if you need to maintain your image, then I will expose his spinelessness."

Yu Xing did not answer.

Zhong Zhiling suddenly remembered the time when his senior brother came to the police station to rescue him. He sighed and questioned, "Brother Xing, didn't you say that you are a mediocre person?"

Yu Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He explained: "The situation is pretty good now. Yesterday, the online store had nearly 6000 users, 125 of whom successfully placed orders, with a conversion rate of over 2%. If you defeat Song Yufeng at this time, more complicated problems may arise."

Before the incident came to light, the peak number of visitors to Guiai.com's online store was 1000, with a conversion rate of less than 6%. Now the number of visits is six times higher, and the conversion rate is more than doubled.

The contrast is extremely obvious.

At the same time, the number of Yu Xing’s friends on campus network is also increasing rapidly, which will inevitably further increase the online orders of Guiai.com.

"Well, from the overall situation..." Zhong Zhiling pondered, "Yes, Brother Xing is right, I didn't think it through."

He thought for a moment and said, "Offline orders in Lin'an are declining rapidly, and employees are leaving at a faster rate. If such online orders can be maintained for a whole month, we will be able to get through August smoothly."

The graduation season in July has ended. Zhong Zhiling can feel the direct changes in Guiai.com, and the online store's performance of more than 100 orders per day is undoubtedly a powerful supplement.

299*100, this is a daily revenue of 2.99. If it can be maintained, the revenue for the whole month will be 90, which is almost comparable to the offline revenue of Guiai.com.

As long as September comes and schools start, and there is traffic offline, we may be able to build a balanced and healthy structure with the online world.

"I feel that the traffic has not yet reached its peak, but it will definitely decline later." Yu Xing said, "We still have some questions about the company. When a series of things are over, the revenue in August will not be bad."

Whether it is the previous online marketing or the current criticism of NetEase, these are all for the company's business.

The call between the two ended, and they were both waiting for further developments.

Yu Xing waited for a day, and seeing that NetEase still had no attitude, he re-posted the original post content on the campus network. This time it was not blocked by public relations, which made him feel that NetEase was not far from making a statement.

As expected, on July 7, NetEase announced the suspension of the "NetEase Dating" business and fired the relevant person in charge. At the same time, a vice president personally called Yu Xing to express his deep apologies.

Yu Xing received the call and expressed his attitude: "I hope to accept the apology openly in your company or in front of the media."

"Mr. Yu Xing, the company has already fired Ying Jiadong. What are you still dissatisfied with? Is it necessary?" NetEase Vice President Cao Yongnan's tone was a little stiff when he heard such a request. A director was fired, isn't that enough?
"Mr. Cao, you are neither my classmate nor my teacher. Since this is a communication between our two companies, please call me Mr. Yu." Yu Xing was serious and naturally showed his answers to these questions.

Cao Yongnan couldn't help but laugh: "Boss Yu, you are quite unreasonable."

Yu Xing asked back: "Then, Mr. Cao, who handed the 'reason' to me?"

Cao Yongnan asked jokingly, "Boss Yu, would you like to ask our Boss Ding to come to your house and apologize to you in person?"

Yu Xing was pleasantly surprised and said, "Really? I am willing to do so."

Cao Yongnan: “…”

He took a breath, neither agreeing nor denying the previous request, and only said: "On behalf of NetEase, I would like to apologize for this business matter. Our Director Zhuo Shiming will communicate with you on any subsequent issues. Mr. Yu, I wish you success in your business."

Before Yu Xing could answer, he heard a busy tone on his phone.

A moment later, a call from the company's third-in-command interrupted his thoughts.

Zhong Zhiling's somewhat surprised voice came from the phone: "Brother Xing, have you already started? I see a lot of black posts appearing."

This was part of the previous discussion. There were doubts first, and then the high share of Guiai.com was exposed, which can be considered a reversal.

Yu Xing was stunned: "Ah? I haven't started yet."

Zhong Zhiling was also stunned: "It hasn't started yet, so what is this..."

On the night when Yu Xing received the apology call from NetEase, there was a sudden and intensive emergence of doubts about the company and business of Guiai.com on the Internet, and it was mentioned that the company employed a large number of interns to do its work.
