Chapter 1591 Which Side Are We On?

June 24th, Monday.

A high-end teahouse in Shanghai.

Nie Yunsheng and Zheng Hao sat opposite each other, leisurely drinking tea and chatting about last Sunday's "Founder's Public Class" program.

"Brother, your speech on the show stirred up a hornet's nest! I thought you would hint at it indirectly, but I didn't expect you to directly criticize by name!"

"The production team didn't stop you?"

Zheng Hao smiled indifferently: "The most these program groups do is review the manuscripts I submit, but if I want to improvise on the spot, they can't directly cut off the live broadcast signal."

Because the program invites entrepreneurs with social standing, not just anyone. The program team has to treat the guests like honored guests, otherwise if they get angry and don't come, it's the program team's loss!

Moreover, the program team had already disclaimed responsibility, saying that these were the personal opinions of the bosses and had nothing to do with the program.

Even if the audience wanted to attack, they would attack the personal Weibo accounts of these bosses, not the program team.

On the contrary, they could gain popularity with the outrageous remarks of these bosses, so why not?

Nie Yunsheng said with some worry: "I'm worried about you, my brother. If you hinted indirectly, there would still be room for maneuver, but directly naming and identifying Tengda Company, I'm afraid you will be subjected to a lot of unwarranted attacks online!"

Zheng Hao smiled confidently: "Isn't the goal to stir up widespread attention?"

"If no one scolds me, it means our strategy isn't successful enough and hasn't attracted enough attention!"

"What's more, I still have three backup plans waiting for their counterattack!"

"The more fiercely they counterattack now, the more we will win when my backup plans are released."

Nie Yunsheng was a little surprised: "You still have backup plans?"

He had only briefly discussed the public opinion war strategy with Zheng Hao before, and thought that Zheng Hao had already explained all the content of the strategy in the public class.

He didn't expect that Zheng Hao had actually kept backup plans.

Zheng Hao explained: "My first backup plan is to raise two questions."

"The first question: If Tengda wants to help other companies, it is enough to provide guidance on operating principles, why is it necessary to forcibly promote its own no-overtime strategy?"

"The second question: Tengda has always said that not working overtime can improve employee efficiency. Is there a necessary connection?"

"If we delve into these two questions, we will be even more certain of my point: Tengda's advocacy of the no-overtime philosophy is just used as a thought weapon to expand its own territory!"

"Later tonight, when the online scolding reaches its peak, I will first raise these two questions to make everyone naturally suspicious."

"The second backup plan is the current situation and detailed information of Boqun Media."

"Facts have proved that Tengda's previous claim that its no-overtime model was successful is only because it was helping game companies like Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group. This is a success in business model, not a success in management model!"

"And once it involves fields that Tengda is not good at, this management model simply won't work. Boqun Media is a vivid example!"

"The third backup plan is that I have found some information about President Pei."

"According to the information published online, he is the absolute controller of Tengda Group, with a decisive position. But after careful investigation, I found that President Pei was just an ordinary student in college."

"Not only that, President Pei has never appeared in public on important occasions, and has never publicly expressed his thoughts."

"I think this is likely because President Pei is worried about revealing his true colors!"

Nie Yunsheng was a little puzzled: "What do you mean by that?"

He had never expected that Zheng Hao could start with President Pei's identity.

Zheng Hao explained: "Don't you think that Tengda Company's behavior and President Pei's personal behavior are completely inconsistent? It's like a person's head is looking to the left, but his feet are walking to the right."

"The impression that Tengda Group gives everyone is that it is sharp and constantly promoting and explaining its corporate values, and using this to recruit talents from all over the world!"

"However, President Pei, as the helmsman of Tengda Group, never appears in public, let alone reveals his thoughts to everyone. Moreover, he is so low-key even in school."

"Maintaining a low profile is understandable, but is it necessary to only pass the passing line in all exams?"

Nie Yunsheng frowned slightly, he also felt that this matter was indeed a bit unreasonable.

Because the operating model of a company can often reflect the founder's philosophy of life!

Some founders are keen to give speeches in society and act as life mentors, and these companies often emphasize values and corporate spirit.

Some founders are low-key and never show up in public, then this company is often humble, down-to-earth and pragmatic.

At the very least, it is the type that is cautious and makes a fortune in silence.

This is easy to understand, after all, the founder has absolute control over the company and will keep the company in sync with himself.

But Tengda Group is completely different. If Tengda Group is compared to a person, then it and Pei Qian should be two completely different sides of the same coin.

Nie Yunsheng asked: "So what does this represent?"

Zheng Hao was silent for a moment and said: "I think what Tengda Group reflects is not President Pei's inner concept. Or rather, President Pei may not recognize the state of Tengda Group in front of everyone!"

"And all the actions of Tengda Group are just a high-profile posture made by President Pei in order to cover up some deep secrets!"

"President Pei refuses to show up in public in order to better create his own persona."

"Because only when he doesn't appear in public can he unscrupulously gild himself. The public will imagine him as a perfect entrepreneur. And once he appears in public to express his views, his persona is likely to collapse!"

"President Pei's true image in school is our most powerful weapon!"

"No matter what, breaking President Pei's deified state, pulling him down from the altar, and proving that he is just a fame-seeker is definitely a major benefit for us!"

……

……

At the same time, Boqun Media.

Wei Jinghui looked at the discussions online and knew clearly that his task was almost complete.

Zheng Hao must have obtained first-hand information from Boqun Media and thought he was fully prepared, so he launched another public opinion offensive against Tengda on the Founder's Public Class!

Although Boqun Media was messed up by Wu Bin, this was not a major event for Wei Jinghui at all.

As long as he can get enough financial and resource support from the Anti-Tengda Alliance, Boqun Media can quickly develop and develop even better than before!

Therefore, Wei Jinghui was watching this public opinion war online with a mentality of watching a show.

After Zheng Hao made this statement, sure enough, his Weibo was bombarded that day!

Not only Tengda's fans attacked him, but also many indignant netizens.

Any worker should not be able to accept Zheng Hao's remarks!

What does it mean that company bankruptcies are caused by ordinary employees being lazy? What does it mean that employees can exploit the company's wages by being lazy?

This kind of statement is almost selling miserably and complaining, turning the company boss into a vulnerable group, which is simply nonsense for most ordinary netizens!

But Zheng Hao was not unprepared. While arguing with netizens, he methodically released the materials he had prepared.

Zheng Hao's first move was to ask netizens two questions.

The first is, if Tengda wants to help other companies, it only needs to help in business operations, so why does it have to force the promotion of Tengda's work model?

The second is, why can't working overtime necessarily improve work efficiency? What is the necessary connection between them?

This is all to deny the necessity of Tengda's work model!

So far, although many up-loaders online have refuted Zheng Hao's claims, they have not formed a large enough public opinion.

The reason is simple. Pei Qian previously issued a ban, ordering the heads of various departments not to personally participate in "What the Head Said" to deconstruct the business routines of other companies.

Relying only on netizens to refute spontaneously, representative statements and sufficient popularity cannot be formed in a short period of time.

Wei Jinghui felt that this scene was also very rare. The Anti-Tengda Alliance and Tengda Group were actually in a stalemate in the public opinion war! This had never been imagined before.

It was enough to prove that Zheng Hao was well prepared this time and found a good breakthrough.

Wei Jinghui was praising Zheng Hao's wisdom when a knock came from outside the office.

The editor-in-chief of Boqun Media, Lao Deng, pushed the door and entered.

Boqun Media is a self-media company, so naturally there is a lot of text content that needs to be written and reviewed by the editor-in-chief. Before, Lao Deng was the main writer of several articles with over 100,000 views and was deeply valued by Wei Jinghui.

Wu Bin's arrival brought about a major transformation of Boqun Media from top to bottom. Lao Deng naturally had no way to write articles that could attract traffic, but instead wrote about current affairs and hot issues according to Wu Bin's ideas, and the traffic was greatly reduced.

Because he was focused on carrying out the undercover plan, Wei Jinghui stopped asking about Lao Deng's articles.

He thought that when the current public opinion war ended, Wu Bin would leave, and Boqun Media would return to its previous state of work, as if nothing had happened!

"What's wrong, Lao Deng, is there anything wrong?" Wei Jinghui asked with concern when he saw Lao Deng's solemn expression.

Lao Deng looked worried and hesitated to say: "President Wei, the things I've been writing recently haven't been getting much traffic. I want to write..."

Wei Jinghui smiled and interrupted Lao Deng: "Do you feel that the current work model is very unaccustomed? The content of the manuscripts you write is not what you like? It's okay, things should return to normal after a while, just bear with it for a while!"

Lao Deng was stunned for a moment and hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, President Wei, that's not what I mean."

"I want to write an article to refute Zheng Hao's speech at the Founder's Public Class!"

Wei Jinghui was stunned: "Huh?"
