Factory Director Zhao then said:

"What does this mean? It means we have higher expectations for you. We're a joint venture; the capable rise, the incompetent fall, and we'll be recruiting from outside. Those with ability will get better positions and higher salaries; those who aren't, I'm sorry, will have to be transferred to other roles."

Director Zhao's speech surprised them; they hadn't expected the company to make this decision at this time. Wouldn't this cause unrest among the staff?

"Some people may have doubts: why propose such a solution at this time? Isn't the most important thing to solve the crisis we are facing now?"

"But I want to tell you that Mr. Chen already has a plan. However, Mr. Zhao also said that this is crisis public relations, and you are not yet familiar with this working model. Therefore, he took time out of his busy schedule to guide you through it, so that you can learn crisis public relations and how to do public relations. Learn to fight in battle."

Director Zhao's words made the people in the propaganda department's eyes light up.

They couldn't be happier to be able to learn from Chen Dong.

Seeing that his subordinates' emotions had been stirred up, Factory Director Zhao nodded to himself and said:

"Just now, Mr. Chen asked you to do some investigation. I wonder if you got anything useful?"

After waiting for several seconds, no one spoke.

Factory Director Zhao chuckled softly, "Has anyone offered to speak up?"

Still, no one stepped forward.

Factory Director Zhao: "It seems everyone is quite modest, so I'll call on someone. Li Zhao, you go first."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhao immediately stood up.

He was the head of the publicity department, and he took over from Director Zhao.

“I went through those newspapers again and asked my friends. There were a total of 13 newspapers that were skeptical of us. Among them, 9 questioned our localization rate and 4 raised concerns about the safety of domestically produced parts.”

“I called my friend again, and he told me that someone had submitted a letter to them about the safety issues of our auto parts. However, they did not publish the letter.”

"In addition, other newspapers also called us with the same questions. After we learned about the situation, we communicated with them and asked them not to publish related reports for the time being."

Chen Dong was aware of the situation he described.

He received the relevant report yesterday.

At that time, he already had some guesses and was thinking about the pros and cons of the whole thing and related countermeasures.

Chen Dong nodded secretly when he saw that Li Zhao spoke clearly and logically.

Looking back now, Li Zhao was quite competent as the head of the publicity department.

Next, everyone shared their findings and related inferences.

However, their conclusions were rather broad. They all confirmed that someone was trying to harm them, but they either failed to address where the enemy was or why they were doing it, or their thinking was flawed.

After everyone had finished speaking, Factory Director Zhao spoke up.

"Just now, Mr. Chen and I had a discussion, and I think the points he raised make a lot of sense."

Then he shared Chen Dong's guess.

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and began to whisper among themselves.

They never imagined that their factory would be caught in such a huge national policy dispute, falling into a conflict between the two factions of buying and building ships.

"Please be quiet! Now, Mr. Chen, please tell us about our findings and corresponding countermeasures."

Chen Dong stood up, walked to a whiteboard, and wrote down the numbers 4 and 9.

"Just now, your investigation revealed that 13 newspapers published articles questioning our capabilities. Of these, 9 concerned the veracity of our domestic production rate, and 4 concerned issues such as safety. So, which do you think our competitors are most concerned about?"

"Domestic production rate!" everyone answered in unison.

"Why should we care about this? Isn't this their real purpose?"

Everyone: "..."

Everyone was confused. Yes, why?

Chen Dong smiled mysteriously, and then said:

"Domestic production is a major national policy, and they can't openly oppose it. So they raise this question. Whether they support or oppose domestic production, it's all aimed at us. On this point, they've reached a consensus."

"Therefore, we need to prove the degree of localization of the parts we use and accept the test."

"Are you thinking that if you want to prove something, then prove it; the innocent will prove innocent, and the guilty will prove guilty. As long as you prove your innocence, everything will be fine, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Even Director Zhao nodded in agreement.

That's what he thought too.

"However, if we are not careful, we will fall into the enemy's trap."

Everyone was stunned when they heard Chen Dong's words.

how so?

Isn't it good to prove yourself?

How did we fall into their trap?

Factory Director Zhao also fell into deep thought.

"Don't forget, our opponents also mentioned in several newspapers the safety and comfort issues of domestically produced parts and accessories."

Some people reacted quickly, and a look of understanding appeared in their eyes at this moment.

yes.

This is essentially a trap, or a feint.

If we do our best to prove that the localization rate is not a problem, then the other side may launch a relentless attack.

They need to prove that their products are of high quality and meet the needs of Chinese consumers.

"So, do you think we can achieve great results and amaze the world within the scope defined by the other side?"
