Chapter 472 Despicable Business War (5K)
Early in the morning of May 4th, the students of Statistics Class 2 set off on the bus.
Funding was Zeng Wen's outstanding achievement, so everyone praised him.
Zeng Wenjie didn't have time to go as there were many things waiting for him to deal with. After all, Snacks was just opening four branches in first-tier cities, and there were still many decisions waiting for him to make.
In addition to these four first-tier cities, provincial capitals will also gradually open branches and launch corresponding marketing activities to attract customers.
The first month's financial report must be attractive and attractive, otherwise, who would be willing to join? Do you still want money for the second round of financing?
In addition, the Fengzhou Business Alliance has a lot of things piled up that need to be dealt with one by one.
After returning from vacation, the charity foundation affiliated with him and Mu Qingyang will also be put on the agenda to donate a sum of money to ensure his place in the top ten in the country.
"I'm really busy this year. I feel like all my hair is going to fall out in order to compete for the top ten in the country." Zeng Wenjie pulled out a handful of his thick hair and thought to himself.
Everyone was having fun during the holidays, but he was the only one busy. He even gave an exclusive interview on the May Day holiday.
Fortunately, I found time to go to Wushui County with Mu Qingyang. After coming back, I didn’t feel so tired mentally.
There is no doubt that getting along with Mu Qingyang is a pleasant experience for both body and mind. She can always make those around her fragrant, like a bottle of perfume.
After finishing his work at the Chamber of Commerce, Zeng Wenjie finally had time to open his computer to check his emails, and he received another email from Yuan Xiuqin.
This is Yuan Xiuqin’s work report in Shenzhen.
Tomorrow, the WG platform will be launched.
Yes, since you have become a plagiarist, you might as well be shameless to the end.
Zeng Wenjie named the gaming platform "We-Game" and once again took advantage of Penguin to cooperate with it and support himself.
If you want Brother Ma to be able to predict the future, give him two stabs.
Since we are cooperating with Penguin, it is very simple to build such a game platform. There are various technologies and resources to support it. If you explain the project plan thoroughly, you can easily bring a dog over to be the director and build it.
Penguin plans to take advantage of the last time of the May Day holiday to divert traffic to the platform, and will distribute gift packages for all of its major games. As long as you log in to the game through WG, you can receive it.
Many players have expressed strong expectations for this, and feel that because of this wave of activities organized by Brother Xiao Ma, they can only take the bus.
Zeng Wenjie's first game "Hero Killer" will also be ported to the WG platform, and more new gameplay and modes will be launched in the future. The contents are all ideas that Zeng Wenjie came up with and then handed over to Feng Ji for planning.
Feng Ji is now working with Hidetaka Miyazaki. He is in charge of the planning of "Hero Killer" while working with Miyazaki to improve the content of "Hollow Knight".
These two guys are really birds of a feather. They find pleasure in disgusting, torturing, and killing players, and have designed many traps that would make Zeng Wenjie shake his head.
But fortunately, "Hollow Knight" is a two-dimensional game of the Metroidvania type, and the trap design can still be seen if you observe carefully.
"I'm Surrounded by Beauties", which will be released shortly after the platform goes online, was produced by Chen Qiao and Zheng Shouyun. Zeng Wenjie had already finished the script in advance, and they had recruited actors and started filming before the holiday.
“Knock knock knock—”
While I was lost in thought, I heard someone knocking on the door.
When he looked up, he saw Feng Xiao leaning against the door, looking at him with a playful expression.
"Did you have fun?" Feng Xiao said with a smile.
Zeng Wenjie said: "It's not fun, but it's true that I'm tired from playing."
Feng Xiao sneered and said, "You are tired from playing, but I am busy and dizzy."
Zeng Wenjie asked, "Have you completed all the PR preparations?"
Feng Xiao said, "It's been prepared for a long time. Why do you only remember to ask about it now?"
Zeng Wenjie was just about to say something when a news pop-up window popped up on his computer. He took a closer look and couldn't help but say, "Now this will come in handy."
Feng Xiao walked over and bent down to take a look. Jiucheng Capital had indeed taken action and directly released all the evidence and information that Malenia was a fake foreign brand, which immediately made the headlines of the news platform.
Perhaps they also knew that Zeng Wenjie was a popular figure currently being promoted by the government, so the reporter did not dare to be too sharp in his writing, but there was always some sarcasm.
Feng Xiao took out his phone and made a call, saying, "Let's start the public relations and release all the plans we prepared earlier one by one."
Fake foreign brands are actually quite common, but generally speaking, people in the industry will not expose them.
Everyone makes money. If one company is exposed, it will inevitably involve the exposure of several others. No one knows whether the fire will burn them.
Marennia was so popular that as soon as the news came out, all the major gold and jewelry brands jumped in to get involved.
Huaguo Gold and Fengxiang Jewelry were particularly happy, wishing that Marennia would die suddenly so that she would not come to first-tier cities to compete with them for the market in the future.
The group of people who can afford to consume gold is so specific, and Marennia's marketing methods are too terrifying. No brand would be happy for them to open a branch next to their own store.
Feng Xiao had long anticipated that the gold and jewelry brands would be the most aggressive, so he prepared several old news articles in advance, which were about these big brands selling fake gold.
Since its establishment, Marennia has never sold even a milligram of fake gold, which is its advantage.
With the arrival of the public relations team that Feng Xiao had arranged long ago, the situation immediately improved, and everyone started to criticize those big brands.
Coupled with a large number of internet trolls praising Marennia's recycling, identification, quality assurance, after-sales and other services, those brands were criticized even more badly.
Perhaps they did not expect Marennia to react so quickly. All the major brands were caught off guard for a while and did not expect that the war would spread to them so quickly.
Moreover, why is no one investigating the issue of fake foreign brands?
Those high heels, stockings, underwear and other women's products are all fake foreign brands, hey! Spending so much money on them is just a waste of money, hey!
Zeng Wenjie and Feng Xiao stayed by the computer, reading the news and answering phone calls.
"The overall situation has been decided." Feng Xiao said easily.
Then, she refreshed the news, and her expression suddenly changed.
The headlines changed. Not only did it expose the fact that Malenia was a fake foreign brand, it also revealed Feng Xiao's past. Between the lines, there were doubts about whether Feng Xiao was using fake foreign brands to launder money.
Zeng Wenjie was also surprised when he saw Feng Xiao's father's level in the news.
Then his face darkened.
Damn 9City Capital, this is a bit too much. Exposing Marlenia’s past is nothing, but revealing Feng Xiao’s past is disgusting and vicious!
Feng Xiao stared at the news for a long time, and a vein on her forehead was jumping slightly. Obviously, this news revealed her family background, which made her very upset.
Zeng Wenjie patted her back gently and said, "I know you are angry, but don't be too angry, otherwise those idiots will be proud."
However, the effect of this move was indeed great enough, and the direction of public opinion changed immediately.
Everyone began to turn their attention to Marennia, and even suspected that Zeng Wenjie's background might not be so clean for cooperating with such a person.
Corrupt officials are undoubtedly the most hated.
Feng Xiao's special identity, coupled with the fact that Malenia is indeed a fake foreign brand, the two BUFFs combined together, and online public opinion exploded!
"Xu Yuhuan is such a bitch. It was the stupidest decision for my brother to marry her." Feng Xiao said with a sneer.
The article is very long and even reveals some details of past events.
Zeng Wenjie is currently the most popular young person. Anyone who likes to read the news knows his name.
Therefore, the spearhead has gradually begun to turn to him.
As soon as Zeng Wenjie's phone rang, Feng Xiao said, "It must be Zhuang Aimin calling!"
Zeng Wenjie picked it up and answered it directly, then said with a smile, "Senior Brother?"
"Xiao Zeng, have you seen the news online?" Zhuang Aimin asked with a sigh.
In fact, he didn't expect that Feng Xiao, who was beside Zeng Wenjie, had such a powerful background and such a deep influence!
Zeng Wenjie said: "I'm watching it now. It seems to have a big impact."
Zhuang Aimin said, "The impact is indeed huge. How do you plan to deal with it?"
Zeng Wenjie calmly said, "Marennia is a legitimate company. None of those groundless accusations are true. We can withstand investigation! Besides, Feng Xiao is Feng Xiao, and her father is her father. What does this have to do with her?"
Zhuang Aimin was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then he slowly said, "After all, your identity is still a bit sensitive. If someone like you has such a close relationship with you, anyone who knows will think too much."
Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "He hasn't committed any crime. We can't deny his entire identity just because of his parents, right? As I said before, our company can withstand scrutiny. Although this public opinion has a negative impact, I won't compromise."
Zhuang Aimin said, "How about this. Fengzhou Merchants Alliance is still a relatively sensitive organization. Let her step down from the position of Secretary General first."
After hearing this, Zeng Wenjie fell silent, feeling a little unhappy.
"Of course you are still in charge of the Chamber of Commerce. She just isn't in that position officially, but I have no control over what kind of work she does. Wait until things cool down, and then let her take over," said Zhuang Aimin.
"I know what you mean, but it's still a little uncomfortable to handle it this way," Zeng Wenjie said.
"We must talk about politics." Zhuang Aimin said slowly.
This sentence left Zeng Wenjie silent. There was nothing he could do. This was the rule of this society. Everything had to serve these two words.
No matter how great your achievements are, no matter how much money you have, no matter whether you are a reborn cheater or not, if you don’t say these two words, you are doomed to have a bad ending.
Zhuang Aimin said, "If you insist on not distancing yourself from this, it will have a significant impact on your plans for this year."
Zeng Wenjie said, "I understand, Senior Brother. I am still a young man after all. Although I am concerned about the overall situation, I also have the temper of a young man. Marennia can withstand the investigation. I am not afraid of them."
Zhuang Aimin said, "It's good that you understand the situation. Deal with this matter seriously and see how you can minimize the damage."
In fact, Zhuang Aimin was a little shocked. She didn't expect that Feng Xiao's father was such a big shot, and Zeng Wenjie was able to recruit her to work under him.
At present, whether Malenia is a fake foreign brand or not is not a big issue, and the product quality is solid.
The bigger focus now is on Feng Xiao’s identity.
After hanging up the phone with Zhuang Aimin, Feng Xiao said to him apologetically, "I didn't expect them to be so shameless as to bring this up."
Xu Yuhuan was once a member of the Feng family and is now working for Jiucheng Capital.
It was impossible not to ask her before this matter was exposed.
Even if she couldn't stop this, at least she could talk to Feng Xiao first. After all, they were once a family.
Zeng Wenjie said, "You said they have no shame, so what can't they do? Don't blame yourself, this has nothing to do with you."
Feng Xiao shook his head and sighed, "How can it have nothing to do with me? After all, I was born into that family and enjoyed the convenience and wealth brought to me by my father's privilege. Now, how can you have the nerve to say that all this has nothing to do with me?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "It's okay. If a reporter asks me, I will respond directly to this matter. Also, don't worry about any major impact. Our Marennia can withstand the investigation."
He took out a cigarette, lit it, and leaned back in his chair. "They are fake foreign brands, but all the procedures were legal and compliant. I paid every penny of tax, and I have never sold a single fake product."
"Sales may be affected for a period of time, but as long as we continue to maintain quality and service, things will get better soon."
"Marennia is our collective labor of love. We must not let anyone destroy it so easily."
Feng Xiao frowned and said, "Your plan to expand the gold shop in the second half of the year..."
Zeng Wenjie said, "I'm afraid this will delay things a bit. It's a good thing, though. I've been busy lately, especially with the deepening of our partnership with Penguin. If I have to devote more energy to preparing for the gold shop expansion, I'm afraid I'll die of exhaustion!"
Feng Xiao knew that he was comforting her, but she was still very touched.
The longer this expansion plan is delayed, the greater the potential losses will be. After all, Zeng Wenjie has been eager to go to first-tier cities and compete with those big brands.
Despite such a huge potential loss, Zeng Wenjie pretended to be indifferent.
"I won't allow you to leave, nor will I allow you to give up our hard work." Zeng Wenjie held Feng Xiao's hand and said kindly.
Feng Xiao nodded slightly and said, "If you don't chase me away, I definitely won't leave. Otherwise, I'll really have no choice but to sing and support myself!"
Zeng Wenjie took a deep puff of cigarette. Although he was smiling, he had already taken the account with Jiucheng Capital to heart!
Looking back, you have to find a chance to pay it back, and you have to pay it back hard enough, otherwise, how can you get rid of this anger?
Feng Xiao also looked nonchalant on the surface, as if he had completely let go of the past, but the memories of the past were so deep and the scars so thick, how could he forget them so easily?
Now, her secrets have been exposed in public, everyone knows that her father is a big tiger, and her mother even "committed suicide out of fear of punishment". How can she not feel pain?
Feng Xiao is not the kind of person who would write a song to commemorate and praise his damn mother even though he knows it is wrong.
As they were talking, Feng Xiao's cell phone rang. It was Zeng Mi calling her.
"I saw the news." Zeng Mi said.
"I saw it too. What's so strange about that?" Feng Xiao responded in a relaxed tone.
Zeng Mi said: "So, I called to check on you."
Feng Xiao said, "Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you, sister. I won't die if someone reveals my true identity."
Zeng Mi immediately uttered a "Pooh" and cursed, "It's all in vain that I care about you, you ungrateful bastard!"
Feng Xiao smiled and said, "Are you back?"
Zeng Mi said, "He's still outside. He'll be back tomorrow."
Feng Xiao said, "Okay, let's talk about it when we get back. Let's go shopping and have a drink together. My past has been exposed, and I'm afraid I'll be abandoned. You have to support me from now on."
Zeng Mi was shocked after hearing this and said, "No way? Is it so heartless?"
Zeng Wenjie immediately snatched the phone and said unhappily, "Don't listen to her nonsense. She is still the president of our Marennia. I won't replace her."
Zeng Mi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, you two are together?"
Zeng Wenjie said: "Yeah, where are you playing?"
Zeng Mi said, "Wushui County!"
"I just came back from Wushui County. What a coincidence! Otherwise, we could have gone shopping together! Did you go there today?"
"Do you dare?"
Just three simple words, and Zeng Wenjie's mouth twitched a little bit - Dare? I really don't dare!
Zeng Mi said, "I'm relieved that Feng Xiao is fine. You can chat with her for a while."
Zeng Wenjie said, "I understand. Remember to report back when you come back safe and sound."
After hanging up the phone, Zeng Wenjie felt relieved. Zeng Mi and Feng Xiao always had a tendency to play tricks on each other when they met, but when something really happened, they still cared about each other!
"You contact the public relations team and see how to deal with this better. I'm going to take a call first," said Zeng Wenjie.
"Yeah." Feng Xiao took the phone and nodded calmly.
Zeng Wenjie walked out of the office, closed the door, and paused for a while. Sure enough, he heard the sound of a heavy fist hitting the table.
Then, his cell phone rang.
Sure enough, friends, partners, and leaders from all over called to inquire about this matter.
Even Yan Xinyi couldn't help but call to ask about the situation, and told him implicitly that this matter had a great impact. If he continued to do business with Feng Xiao, it would very likely affect the selection of the top ten in the country this year.
Zeng Wenjie is a bachelor. If he fails to get the award this year, he can just take it next year. Anyway, he is still young, and he has already gained enough attention this year.
"Alpaca's Yan Xueyou, Alpaca's Lin Dong..."
After Zeng Wenjie answered all the calls and replied to all the messages, he finally couldn't help but curse under his breath.
When he returned to the office, Feng Xiao was sitting in front of the computer in a daze. It seemed that there was something wrong with his condition.
