Feng Jing and the others returned to the hotel at nine o 'clock in the evening. Pang Hao called Xia Ruofei to tell him that they were safe.
Liu Qian finally chose a Kouchi bag, which cost about fifty thousand yuan.
Liu Qian wanted to buy a bag that cost one or two thousand yuan, but she was rejected by Feng Jing on the spot. Xia Ruofei had promised her personally. If she only bought a bag that cost one or two thousand yuan, she would be disrespecting the chairman.
According to Feng Jing and Dong Yun, she should buy a bag that cost at least one hundred thousand yuan, so that Xia Ruofei's kindness would not be wasted. However, Liu Qian did not dare to accept it. In the end, Feng Jing personally picked a Kouchi bag that cost about fifty thousand yuan for Liu Qian.
Liu Qian regarded the bag as a treasure. She held it tightly in her arms during the shopping process, for fear that she would lose it.
First of all, it was the first time in her life that she had bought such an expensive bag. Second of all, it was a reward from the chairman, so it was very meaningful.
Feng Jing and Dong Yun also bought a lot of things, such as electronic products, clothes, bags, and so on. Even Pang Hao could not help but buy a Hermes belt for his father.
Of course, the four of them did not buy any cosmetics. The company's Yuji cream was better than any other cosmetics. Why would they buy those expensive cosmetics whose effects were unknown?
The next day, Xia Ruofei asked Ma Zhiming for a business car. He took several of his capable subordinates to travel around Hong Kong. After sending them to the airport in the afternoon, Xia Ruofei returned to Hengfeng Jiahua Hotel.
Today, all the major media outlets in Hong Kong were reporting about the auction.
Xing Dao Evening News arranged a large article at the bottom of the front page. The title was "Mainland Company Becomes Famous in Hong Kong! Single Auction Value Exceeds One Hundred Million US Dollars! "
Xing Dao Evening News wrote in the article, "Yesterday, the auction value at Hengfeng Jiahua Hotel exceeded one hundred million US dollars. This popular auction that attracted many rich people from Asia, Europe, South America, and other places was not auctioned for expensive calligraphy and paintings, exquisite works of art, or priceless jade and jewelry. Instead, it was abalone, truffles, tea leaves, caterpillar fungus, and ginseng, which could be seen on the dining table. What was so special about these things that they could make the rich people with a net worth of tens of billions scramble for them? The reporter interviewed Mr. Guo Hongjiang, who bought a one-one abalone …
Nanhua Daily wrote in its report, "Taoyuan Company from the mainland held a special auction at Hengfeng Jiahua Hotel yesterday. Many auction items attracted everyone's attention, and the transaction amount exceeded 100 million USD." It was the first time in the history of Hong Kong that a single auction of ingredients and herbs had sold for more than 100 million USD.
Hong Kong Economic News wrote in the article, "The Taoyuan Company held a phenomenal auction. Since the establishment of this Mainland company, in just one or two years, it has repeatedly created miracles. Unknowingly, it already has a rich product line and superb products. As long as it is in the field that the Taoyuan Company is involved in, their products will definitely surpass similar products by a large margin. There is no doubt that this company's development potential is enormous. If this company is listed in Hong Kong in the future, investors must pay close attention to it. "
Hong Kong's famous gourmet, Zhu Dayong, wrote in his online food column, "I was fortunate enough to taste the best one-one abalone at the Taoyuan Company's abalone auction at the beginning of the year. It was so delicious that I can't forget it. When I heard that there was another abalone at the auction, I immediately signed up. Unfortunately, my financial strength is limited, and the auction was too popular. It is my biggest regret that I couldn't get the one-one abalone I wanted … "
On TV, TVB's news channel was broadcasting the scene of the auction. The reporter interviewed Zheng Jianian, and Zheng Jianian spoke confidently to the camera, "The Taoyuan Company's chairman, Xia Ruofei, is the most courageous young man I have ever met. This company is thriving under his leadership. I am not surprised that today's auction exceeded 100 million USD. The Taoyuan Company has first-class products and first-class leaders. It is natural for them to achieve such results!"
In the ATV next door, Ma Xiong said on TV, "The Taoyuan Company's products are undoubtedly the best in the industry. Today's auction is proof. Hengfeng Group will launch a series of in-depth cooperation with the Taoyuan Company to promote these top products to a wider consumer base!"
On another channel, Guo Hongjiang was also praising the Taoyuan Company …
Those who didn't know better would think that the TV station was booked by the Taoyuan Company!
In addition to the traditional paper and television media, the online media also reported on the Taoyuan Company's auction.
Moreover, the online media was more time-sensitive. In fact, they had already started to push reports yesterday.
Photos of the scene, videos of the scene, and news features from different angles were all presented on the Internet.
Fortune Chinese Network also specially made a short video. This three-minute short video focused on the big screen that showed the real-time transaction volume. At the same time, it was mixed with some hot auction items when the bidding was heated. Coupled with very exciting music, people couldn't help but feel excited after watching it.
Xia Ruofei watched the video back and forth three times in his hotel room. Then, he directly called Xiao Qiang, the marketing director who stayed in the company, and asked him to immediately arrange for the company's official website to publish the video in a conspicuous position. At the same time, the official WeChat and Weibo also pushed the situation of the auction together with the video.
In addition to some of Hong Kong's mainstream websites, the local forums of Hong Kong were also very enthusiastic about the auction. Hong Kong's netizens had different reactions to the sales miracle of such a mainland company.
Most of them were in admiration. After all, it was a company owned by Huaxia's compatriots. The products sold could make the rich in Europe and America fight over it. Everyone felt a sense of pride spontaneously.
Of course, there were also a small number of young netizens who were biased against the mainland who made cynical remarks. Arguments such as fake data and hype appeared from time to time.
However, such voices were not mainstream.
Especially after the news from Hong Kong spread to the mainland, the netizens who cared about the Taoyuan Company were almost in an uproar. Most of them were Xia Ruofei's fans, and they were very concerned about the Taoyuan Company's news.
The mainland's online media also reposted it immediately.
Originally, there were certain review requirements for the reposting of news from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and foreign media. However, this was obviously a song of praise for the mainland company, so no one had any concerns about reposting it.
Therefore, it quickly set off a "Taoyuan craze" on the mainland's internet.
If the Taoyuan Company's Yuji Ointment or Yangxin Soup also set off a craze in the past, then the craze this time was obviously much bigger, and it almost swept the whole country.
After all, the Taoyuan Company now had a rich product line, and it was famous in Hong Kong. In addition, the auction this time attracted a lot of attention with the words "100 million USD" and "rich in Europe and America". Therefore, compared to previous auctions, this time was much bigger.
With the news of the auction published by the "People's Daily" and "Guoshi News" on Weibo and WeChat, the Taoyuan Company's fame had officially reached a peak.
It could be said that the Taoyuan Company had now become a real internet company. Although the size of its assets was completely incomparable to a large internet group like BAT, its fame was not inferior at all.
This was a bit similar to the time when the boss "endorsed" a certain product. The difference was that although Xia Ruofei's boss was also a media darling and now had a large number of loyal fans, he did not rely on his face to achieve success. The Taoyuan Company's products were too good. Even if people did not like them, they could not find any fault in this area.
The WeChat article about the Taoyuan Company's auction was widely reposted in WeChat Moments and WeChat Moments. The Weibo topic about the Taoyuan Company's auction quickly became the top ten trending topics. The number of posts about the Taoyuan Company's auction on major forums, communities, and Tieba increased exponentially. Memes about the Taoyuan Company and Xia Ruofei also came into being …
Under the premise of not hiring any paid posters to add fuel to the fire, it was definitely a miracle to create such a huge storm in the field of public opinion in just one day.
Some mainland netizens who had the means and understood technology also flocked to Hong Kong, hoping to see first-hand news.
Therefore, the few young Hong Kong netizens who were prejudiced against mainland netizens for the sake of defamation suffered a tragedy …
A Mainland Internet Big V wrote on his INS: I really don't know what some young people in Hong Kong are thinking now. Not only are they selectively ignoring Taoyuan's impressive results, but they are actually saying that they are creating hype and falsifying data. I just want to ask, which company can create hype and invite Hong Kong's tycoons, Ma Xiong, Guo Hongjiang, and Zheng Jianian, as well as America's shoe king Loftis, Romania's tycoon Nicolae, and Britain's telecom tycoon Higginson … If Taoyuan can invite these super rich people, whose total assets are worth more than a trillion, to create hype for them and even take out real money to help them create fake data, then they are really awesome! It's much more awesome than an auction with a turnover of over a hundred million USD! Finally, I really want to say to these people: Brains are really good things, I hope you can find them back!
This Internet celebrity took screenshots of similar brainless comments and posted them on the Internet. He also attached a helpless emoji that was popular on the Internet.
This INS was originally shared in his own circle of friends, but as long as it was something public and related to a hot topic, how could it not spread? Soon, someone took screenshots and posted them on some Hong Kong forums.
At this time, a large number of mainland netizens flooded in. What else was there to say? Everyone swarmed up and replied to the posts and comments that were jealous of the Taoyuan Company.
At first, those accounts were like pigs that weren't afraid of boiling water, but soon, they were scolded and didn't dare to show their faces.
In the mainland Xia Ruofei Tieba, the most popular post wasn't about the auction, nor was it about the foreign media reports. It was a post by Cheng Xiaoxiao.
Cheng Xiaoxiao wrote in the post: Hahaha! This heroine has met our overbearing CEO again, and this time in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel in Hong Kong! Are you guys envious?! Let me tell you, Boss Xia is really a good person. He doesn't put on airs at all, and he even helped me solve a problem at work. If I didn't know Qingxue, I wouldn't have been able to resist poaching him!
Cheng Xiaoxiao posted a whole set of photos in the post. They were all taken in Xia Ruofei's presidential suite yesterday.
Of course, to prevent people with ulterior motives from deliberately misinterpreting the post, she also put some effort into choosing the photos. Bastien could be seen in most of the photos, but most of them were in the background. There were also photos of the three of them eating together, etc.
After all, although the presidential suite was ridiculously big, it was still considered a private space. If a girl like her went to the presidential suite alone to meet Xia Ruofei, it was inevitable that people with ulterior motives would gossip.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was originally an active user on Tieba. Especially when she posted about her chance encounter with Xia Ruofei at the western restaurant, it made her famous on Tieba. Therefore, when this post was posted, it was immediately pinned to the top by the forum moderator.
In just a short while, there were hundreds of comments.
No one had made an appointment, but everyone sent the same "drooling" emoji. The formation was extremely neat, and the scene was spectacular.
Some of the self-media's Weibo accounts, Toutiao accounts, and Baijia accounts also downloaded the photos. They processed the content of Cheng Xiaoxiao's post and became popular on their respective platforms.
Xia Ruofei happily browsed through the various reports about the auction on Hong Kong and the mainland's Internet in his hotel room. On his desk were the major Hong Kong newspapers published today, and they were all reports about the Taoyuan Company. Although the content was mostly the same, Xia Ruofei still read with relish.
At that moment, his phone rang.
Xia Ruofei glanced at it and swiped the screen to answer the call. "Director Xiao, that short video has been posted?"
The person who called was Xiao Qiang, the marketing director who stayed behind in Sanshan. Xia Ruofei had just asked him to transfer the short video from Fortune Chinese Network to the Taoyuan Company's official website and account.
"Everything has been arranged!" Xiao Qiang said, "Boss Xia, I'm calling you because I have something else to report!"
"Oh? Go ahead! "Xia Ruofei said.
"It's like this. Since this afternoon, the company's publicity department has been calling non-stop. All of them are news media requesting interviews." Xiao Qiang said, "We've made a preliminary count. There are at least a hundred media outlets, including some very influential central media outlets. Boss Xia …"
"Director Xiao, I'm still dealing with some matters in Hong Kong these few days." Xia Ruofei interrupted Xiao Qiang and said, "Director Feng is already on the plane. You can ask Director Feng for instructions on how to deal with the media."
"Ah?" Xiao Qiang was stunned. He knew that Xia Ruofei usually did not care about things. Today, this was not a small matter! Xia Ruofei was actually a hands-off shopkeeper?
"Is there a problem?" Xia Ruofei asked.
"Oh! No! No! " Xiao Qiang quickly said, "Oh right, the number of visitors to the company's official website has increased today. Our server equipment can't take it anymore. Currently, the website's visitor speed is starting to slow down …"
"Then increase the server!" Xia Ruofei said, "Immediately come up with a rough budget plan. When Director Feng gets off the plane, report it to her immediately. If there are no problems, purchase it immediately! This matter should be done sooner rather than later! "
Alright! Feng Jing had not gotten off the plane yet, and Xia Ruofei had already arranged a bunch of work for her. He did not know if Feng Jing, who knew the truth, would cry …
