Chapter 864 My biological father is the protagonist of a second marriage (5)

It was Friday night, when office workers and students, after a busy week, could finally enjoy their free time on the weekend. They were also the group that loved surfing the Internet the most. So soon, a trending search on social media that was extremely outrageous became popular.

#The common people should eat the leftovers#

This hot topic was caused by a video of a conversation between a supervisor and an employee in the fast food pre-prepared food workshop of Fuhua Group. The video is very clear and the voices of the two people can be heard clearly, especially the words said by the fat-headed supervisor contemptuously: "Those people should be grateful for these groceries and scraps to eat. What else do they want to eat? Are they qualified?"

This extremely contemptuous remark aroused the indignation of all the viewers. What group of people surfed the Internet the most? It was the "fart people" mentioned by the supervisor.

Who are the ultimate consumers of the instant food produced by Fuhua Group? Or the "ordinary people" as he said. Rich people will not eat such fast food with mediocre taste and nutrition, and the poorest people will not order takeout or buy these instant food. Therefore, the largest audience of these instant food is ordinary people in the city, such as office workers, delivery boys, workers...

So this supervisor really offended the people he served. With just one sentence, he destroyed the good reputation that Fuhua Group had built up over the years.

"I, the common people, don't deserve to eat good food. Fuhua Group is awesome! I declare that I will never buy anything from it again!"

"The common people should eat leftovers? Go to hell, I'm going to vomit. Fuhua fast food is so precious, I won't buy it anymore. Leave it for you noble upper class people!"

"Boycott Fuhua Fast Food! As long as Fuhua is not destroyed, it will be intolerable..."

…

Ever since the video appeared on the Internet, news media and social media went wild. The manager's words "the common people should eat leftovers" hit everyone's pain point, and Fuhua Group immediately became the target of public criticism. This was a fierce public opinion crisis because it angered the largest group in the country, who were also its target customers for fast food.

When Fang Qiyang saw the video that appeared on the Internet, he was so angry that his eyes went dark and he almost fainted, but he held on. He knew that if this matter was not handled properly, Fuhua Group would suffer serious damage.

"Mr. Fang, what should we do?" the HR manager asked without daring to breathe.

Fang Qiyang's chest was heaving violently. He glared at the HR manager and yelled, "What should I do? I asked you to come here to get work done. Why do you have to ask me about everything? Take down the video and delete those posts!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go back and do it right away!" The HR manager wiped the sweat off his face and hurried back.

At this time, the disadvantage of the group not setting up a professional public relations crisis management department appeared, because Fuhua Group had been thriving before and had never experienced any major crises. Occasionally there were small problems, which were handled by other departments. In addition, Fang Qiyang was getting older and was not so easy to accept new things, so he was even less aware of the importance of public relations crisis management. Therefore, when this public opinion crisis appeared, they had no relevant handling experience and their shortcomings were exposed at once. Fang Qiyang also made the worst decision, which resulted in counterproductive consequences.

The relevant personnel of the company quickly contacted the social media personnel and offered a high price to delete posts and remove trending searches, trying their best to reduce the heat of the incident and reduce the negative impact on Fuhua Group.

However, this matter has already attracted a lot of attention, and their actions were too obvious, so this move completely aroused the rebelliousness of netizens, and everyone became even more angry. The more Fuhua Group wanted to suppress the trending searches, the more they spontaneously posted the topic #BoycottFuhua#. In addition, it was the weekend, when the most people were online. Therefore, Fuhua Group's move not only failed to achieve its goal of reducing the popularity, but made the topic even more popular.

All of a sudden, Fuhua Group became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat, and the sales of fast foods such as predictable instant meals and self-heating hot pots dropped drastically, and even many people started to return products purchased online.

Not only that, this wave of boycotts also extended to other business areas under the Fuhua Group. The headquarters building of the Fuhua Group was splashed with dog shit by angry citizens... In short, the Fuhua Group became popular all of a sudden, but it gained a bad reputation.

Fang Qiyang was furious and fired the production manager who talked nonsense in the video. He also wanted to take him to court. No matter how he begged, it was useless. Fang Qiyang wanted to eat his flesh, so how could he let him go?

On Monday, Fuhua Group's stock price plummeted, and it was unknown how many billions of dollars had evaporated. Fang Qiyang was anxious and irritated, with blisters on the corners of his mouth. He was trying desperately to resolve the issue.

But the public opinion caused by the video was too huge, and even if he used all his connections, he couldn't make it a small matter or nothing at all.

On the contrary, this hot topic is getting hotter and hotter. By Tuesday, even the official media began to criticize "some companies" for selling inferior products as good ones, deceiving customers, and belittling and insulting customers. This not only violates ethical norms, but is also suspected of committing crimes. They also criticized some business operators and managers for being high-handed, unkind, despising the people, and being out of touch with the people, and that they will not be able to go far in the future...

Afterwards, more and more people revealed other illegal and irregular activities of Fuhua Group, such as hiring gangsters and shooting gang members to force residents to demolish their houses, and refusing to pay compensation when workers died on construction sites. Anyway, more and more things were revealed, and this wave of negative news about Fuhua Group eventually formed a huge force that cut down on the big ship of Fuhua Group. I just don't know whether this big ship can continue to sail steadily in the blue ocean.

If Fang Shichu were to answer, she would definitely say no, because she just wanted to destroy Fuhua Group and take his life while he was ill.

The financial institution she hired was very reliable. They took action when Fang Qiyang was struggling to deal with the public opinion crisis and had to face the police investigation.

Fang Shichu was helping on the side. She didn't want to leave Fuhua Group to Fang Qi Yang. She just wanted to seek justice for the original owner who had suffered from his cold violence and abandonment.

Didn’t Fang Qiyang say that he just wanted his family to be together happily and didn’t care about how much wealth they had?

Didn't Yu Ci say that she married Fang Qiyang not because of his money and status, but because she really loved him? No matter whether he was poor or rich, she only loved him?

Didn't Yu Baotong say that Fang Qiyang gave her true fatherly love? She was most grateful to this father and would definitely be filial to him in the future. But I wonder if she will still be filial to her father after Fang Qiyang goes bankrupt and owes a huge debt?
