June 24th, Monday …
In a high-end teahouse in Shanghai …
Nie Yunsheng and Zheng Hao sat opposite each other, drinking tea leisurely and chatting about last Sunday's' Founder's Public Class'.
"Brother, you poked a hornet's nest with your speech in the program! I thought you would hint at it indirectly. I didn't expect you to criticize them directly! "
"The production team didn't stop you?"
Zheng Hao smiled nonchalantly. "This kind of program team would at most review the script I submitted. However, I have to improvise. They can't cut off the live-stream signal directly."
This was because this kind of program invited some famous entrepreneurs in society, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. The program team had to serve the guests well. Otherwise, it would be the program team's loss if they could not get angry for the rest of their lives!
What's more, the program team had already distanced themselves from it long ago. They said that these were the bosses' personal words and had nothing to do with the program.
Even if the audience wanted to rush, they would rush to the bosses' personal Weibo accounts. They could not rush to the program team.
On the contrary, they could rely on the bosses' outrageous words to gain popularity. Why not?
Nie Yunsheng said worriedly, "Brother, I'm worried about you. There's still room for negotiation if you beat around the bush. However, if you directly point out Tengda Company, you'll probably receive a lot of unwarranted attacks on the internet! "
Zheng Hao smiled confidently. "Isn't that what I want to attract widespread attention?"
"If no one scolds me, it would mean that our strategy is not successful enough and does not attract enough attention and popularity!"
"What's more, I still have three backup plans waiting for them to counterattack!"
"The more they counterattack now, the more we will win after I release my backup plan."
Nie Yunsheng was a little surprised. "You still have a backup plan?"
He had only briefly explained the strategy of the public opinion war to Zheng Hao previously. He thought that Zheng Hao had already explained all the contents of the strategy in the public class.
He did not expect Zheng Hao to have a backup plan.
Zheng Hao explained, "The first backup plan I prepared is to throw out two questions."
"The first question: If Tengda wants to help other enterprises, it would be enough as long as it guides them in terms of operational concepts. Why is it necessary to enforce your own strategy of not working overtime?"
"Second question: Tengda has always said that employees' work efficiency can be improved by not working overtime. Is there a connection?"
"If you delve deeper into these two questions, you'll be even more certain of what I said: Tengda promotes the idea of not working overtime and only uses it as an ideological weapon to expand its territory!
"Later, when the scolding online reaches its peak, I'll throw out these two questions first and let everyone naturally have doubts."
"The second backup is the current situation and detailed information of Boqun Media."
"The facts have proven that Tengda's success in promoting its non-overtime model was only because it was helping games companies like Sun Strike Studios and Long Yu Corporation. This is the success of the business model, not the success of the management model! "
"When it comes to areas that Tengda is not good at, this management model will not work at all. Boqun Media is a living example!
"The third backup plan is that I found some information about Boss Pei.
"According to the public information on the internet, he is the absolute controller of Tengda Corporation and has a position of absolute authority. However, after careful investigation, I realized that Boss Pei is just an ordinary student in university. "
"Not only that, Boss Pei has never appeared in public on important occasions and has never publicly expressed his thoughts."
"I think this is very likely because Boss Pei is worried about revealing his fox tail!"
Nie Yunsheng was a little confused. "What do you mean?"
He had not expected Zheng Hao to be able to start from Boss Pei's identity.
Zheng Hao explained, "Don't you think that Tengda Corporation's actions are completely different from Boss Pei's personal actions? It's like a person's head is looking left, but his feet are walking right. "
"The impression that Tengda Corporation has left on everyone is that it has been constantly promoting and explaining its company's values and recruiting talents from all over the world!"
"However, as the helmsman of Tengda Corporation, Boss Pei has never shown his face in public, much less revealed his thoughts to everyone. Not only that, but he has always kept a low profile even in school."
"It's understandable to keep a low profile, but is there a need to only pass each exam?"
Nie Yunsheng frowned slightly. He also felt that this matter was indeed a little illogical.
That was because the operating model of a company could often show the founder's philosophy!
Some founders were keen to give speeches in society and act as life mentors. These companies often emphasized values and entrepreneurial spirit.
Some founders kept a low profile and never showed their faces in public. Then, this company was often humble, down-to-earth, and pragmatic.
At the very least, it was the type to be careful and make a fortune in silence.
That was easy to understand. After all, the founder had absolute control over the company and would keep the company's state in line with him.
However, Tengda Corporation was completely different. If Tengda Corporation was compared to a person, then it should be completely different from Pei Qian's personality.
Nie Yunsheng asked, "What does that mean?"
Zheng Hao was silent for a moment. "I think Tengda Corporation does not reflect Boss Pei's inner thoughts. Or rather, Boss Pei might not approve of Tengda Corporation's performance in front of everyone! "
"All of Tengda Corporation's actions are just a high-profile gesture made by Boss Pei to cover up some deep secrets!"
"Boss Pei refuses to show his face in public to better create his own persona."
"Because only when he does not appear in public can he unscrupulously paste gold on himself. Only then would the public imagine him as a perfect entrepreneur. Once he shows his face in public to express his own views, it is very likely that his persona will collapse! "
"Boss Pei's true image in school is our most advantageous weapon!"
"No matter what, breaking Boss Pei's deified state and pulling him down from the altar proves that he is actually just a fame-fishing person. This is definitely a great benefit for us! "
…
…
At the same time, at Boqun Media …
Wei Jinghui looked at the discussions online and knew that his mission was almost completed.
Zheng Hao must have obtained first-hand information from Boqun Media and thought that he was well prepared. That was why he launched a public attack against Tengda during the entrepreneur's public class!
Although Boqun Media was turned into a mess by Wu Bin, it wasn't a big deal to Wei Jinghui at all.
As long as he could get enough funds and resources from the Anti-Tengda Alliance, Boqun Media could develop quickly and even better than before!
Therefore, Wei Jinghui watched the battle of public opinion online with the mentality of watching a show.
As expected, Zheng Hao's Weibo exploded on the same day after he posted these remarks!
It was not only Tengda's fans but also many netizens who were filled with righteous indignation.
Zheng Hao's remarks should be unacceptable to any worker!
What did he mean that the company's collapse was caused by ordinary employees being lazy? What did he mean that employees could exploit the company's wages by being lazy?
Such remarks were almost like complaining miserably, turning the company's boss into a vulnerable group. To most ordinary netizens, it was simply nonsense!
However, Zheng Hao was not unprepared. He methodically released the materials he had prepared while arguing with netizens.
Zheng Hao's first move was to ask the netizens two questions.
First, if Tengda wanted to help other companies, it only needed to help in the operation business. Why did it have to force Tengda's work model?
Second, why would not working overtime necessarily improve work efficiency? Was there a necessary connection between these?
These were all denying the necessity of Tengda's work model!
So far, many UP Masters on the internet had refuted Zheng Hao's words, but it had not formed enough public opinion.
The reason was very simple. Pei Qian had previously issued a ban for the heads of the various departments not to personally participate in 'The Person-In-Charge Says' to dismantle the business tricks of other companies.
It was impossible to form representative opinions and sufficient popularity in a short period of time just by relying on the spontaneous refutation of netizens.
Wei Jinghui felt that this scene was quite strange. The Anti-Tengda Alliance and Tengda Corporation had actually fallen into a stalemate in the battle of public opinion! This was something he had never imagined before.
It was enough to prove that Zheng Hao came prepared this time and found a good breakthrough.
Wei Jinghui was praising Zheng Hao's wisdom when there was a knock on the office door.
The editor-in-chief of Boqun Media, Old Deng, pushed the door open and entered.
Boqun Media was a self-media. Naturally, there was a large amount of written content for the editor-in-chief to write and review. Before this, Old Deng had been the chief writer of several articles with more than 100,000 views and was deeply valued by Wei Jinghui.
Wu Bin's arrival had completely transformed Boqun Media from top to bottom. Naturally, Old Deng could no longer write articles for traffic. Instead, he wrote some current affairs and hot issues according to Wu Bin's ideas. As a result, traffic was greatly reduced.
Wei Jinghui did not ask about Old Deng's articles because he was focused on carrying out the undercover plan.
He thought that Boqun Media would return to its previous working state once the battle of public opinion ended and Wu Bin left, as if nothing had happened!
"What's wrong, Old Deng? What's the matter?" Wei Jinghui asked with concern when he saw Old Deng's solemn expression.
Old Deng looked worried. He wanted to say something but hesitated. "Boss Wei, there hasn't been much traffic recently. I want to write …"
Wei Jinghui interrupted Old Deng with a smile. "Do you feel that your current working model is not suitable? The content of the articles you write is not what you like? It doesn't matter. Everything should return to normal after a period of time. Just bear with it a little longer! "
Old Deng was stunned for a moment and quickly shook his head. "No, no, no, Boss Wei, that's not what I meant.
"I want to write an article to refute Zheng Hao's speech at the entrepreneur public class!"
Wei Jinghui was stunned. "Huh?"
