Chapter 285 Berkeley's Dark Material
The three-day opening promotion ends.

From management to ordinary employees, everyone found bonuses.

High wages, high quality, high compensation...

As a result of a series of measures, the goods have been sold out in the past few days.

But even so, the profit is not as much as imagined, and it can even be said to be pitifully small.

After paying bonuses to employees, there wasn't much left.

In addition, a night activity was arranged for them that evening, and they were placed in Lin Qiangwei's Yemei KTV, which can be regarded as an employee benefit.

He took Chen Jingxian, He Siyao and He Jing to have dinner together.

Since we were all family and it was a bit late, we went to the food stalls at the north gate of Maple Forest International.

"The sales volume these days is really amazing. In the supermarket alone, the sales volume in three days is almost catching up with the previous month." He Jing said:

"In the past, you could only see huge crowds of people like this during the Chinese New Year."

He Jing is the general manager of Berkeley, and she has the most say in what has happened in the past few days.

"This is just the beginning, and the challenges will come later," said Lin Jiang.

"What I'm worried about now is that our prices are too high, especially in the last two days, when almost all the internet celebrities in the city came. I estimate that in the next month, internet celebrities from all over the country will come one after another. Now Berkeley is a huge traffic pool, and whoever takes a photo will get traffic."

After a pause, He Jing continued:
"We are now being promoted to a very high level. If there is a slight mistake, the whole network may change direction in an instant, and then everyone will condemn us."

Although He Jing is not involved in the Internet industry, she knows that traffic is a double-edged sword.

Berkeley was lifted up by traffic, but the higher he was lifted up, the harder he would fall.

Chen Jingxian and He Siyao also nodded, this was also what they were worried about.

Today, Berkeley has indeed been elevated to a height that does not belong to him. Once there is any disturbance, it will be a big problem.

"You understand, I understand, and the general public understands that no one is perfect." Lin Jiang said slowly:

"So, it's not scary to have problems. What really needs to be done is how to solve the problems."

Several people listened attentively.

"All the treatment methods can be summed up in four words: people-oriented!"

"understood."

After dinner, He Siyao and He Jing left, watching Chen Jingxian take Lin Jiang away.

When the two returned to their residence, it was almost 12 o'clock in the morning.

Chen Jingxian was very careful. She changed into her newly bought nightgown, stood in front of the mirror, washed her face and removed her makeup.

Lin Jiang naturally did not miss this opportunity and covered it with his big hand.

"This nightgown is nice. It just covers you. You have taken another step towards being an excellent employee."

“I didn’t buy it for you.”

"Indeed, then why did you rush to put it on after returning?"

"Could it be that I can't wear the nightgown I bought..."

"It seems that your awareness is not deep enough. As your boss, I need to teach you a lesson..."

As he spoke, Lin Jiang lifted up Chen Jingxian's nightgown and took the lead in starting the teaching mode in the bathroom~~~
……

In the following month, Lin Jiang was still busy on both ends.

During this period, Li Yuetong and Xu Yingjun completed the registration for the postgraduate entrance examination.

They all chose Zhonghai Jiaotong University with great courage, and all that remains is to wait for good things in December.

Apart from that, the film has passed review and now it is waiting to be released.

According to Fang Jie, the movie will be released in about half a month and will immediately enter the promotion stage.

The focus of work during this period was still Berkeley.

With the spread of word-of-mouth on the Internet, Berkeley's popularity is growing day by day.

Even if it is not after get off work, you need to queue up to buy things here.

Some people have even compared Berkeley with Donglai Supermarket.

Berkeley also paid tribute from a distance and received a positive response from the other party, which further increased the popularity. Even though there were high costs, the profits became considerable due to the huge sales volume.

As one thing grows, another shrinks. The popularity of Berkeley has caused the Huipin Shopping Mall in the second phase of Xingcheng Bay to fall out of favor.

There are very few customers every day. In such a huge shopping mall, there are only a dozen people scattered around. The sales clerks inside are all very depressed and have no interest in working at all.

"What the hell is the management of this mall doing? There's not even a single person here. What kind of business is this?"

The person who was speaking was named Cao Tianqiang, and he was also the owner of Qinghe Grilled Fish.

It was he who took the lead in moving out of Berkeley. He thought that Huipin could kill Berkeley and he could have a second spring in his career here. However, he did not expect that it would fail after only two days.

In recent days, everything has been a loss-making business.

If we hadn’t sold a few low-priced group-buying coupons, no customers would come.

"Don't say anything. If I hadn't left Berkeley and signed a contract with them for a few more years, I could easily make hundreds of thousands a year based on the current traffic."

The person who was speaking was Wang Dandan, the owner of Tanhua Hotpot. He also had a look of regret on his face because he had a mouth full of blisters due to getting a sore throat.

Huipin Shopping Mall was in a slump and there were no people left. The bosses who had fled at that time gathered together again.

Everyone had a sad look on their face and sighed.

"If it doesn't work, let's go back. At most we'll spend more money, but it's better than staying here."

Wang Jiao, the owner of Jinxiu Women's Wear, said.

"That's a good idea. If we continue like this, we'll all be finished!" said Cao Tianqiang.

"This is a really good idea. I know of seven or eight stores that are planning to move out," said Wang Dandan.

"Contact those who left, go to Berkeley, and talk to Mr. He..."

At this moment, not only the shop owners were anxious, but also Han Guangqi.

In the office, the assistant stood in front of Han Guangqi.

"Boss Han, three more stores are closed today."

At the beginning, in order to snatch merchants from Berkeley, Huipin offered many discounts, one of the important ones was to waive the first month's rent.

Han Guangqi had a good idea. He thought that with his experience studying abroad and the strong reputation of Huipin Group, he could defeat Berkeley. Then he could sign a long-term contract with them, and Huipin Mall would rise rapidly.

The reality is that after one month, no one plans to renew the contract.

Throughout the mall, you can see a closed store every few steps.

Some of them just left and no longer worked in Huipin Shopping Mall.

Some businesses close down because no one wants to do this and they think it's a waste of time, so they look for new ways out.

This also put the experience of Huipin Shopping Mall into a vicious cycle, accelerating its demise.

"I see. Is there anything else?"

"Also, the situation in the northern market is not very good either." The assistant said
"Their beef has already started to be sold in the market, and it has caused quite a stir in the local area. Hongyang Animal Husbandry's shipment volume has been directly affected. I'm afraid..."

Han Guangqi supported his head with one hand and said, "You are afraid that Hongyang Animal Husbandry will follow the old path of Yongan."

"Ah."

During this period, in addition to the business matters of the mall, the investment in Hongyang Animal Husbandry also kept Han Guangqi awake at night.

Li Yuan’s playing style is very clear, which is to replicate Mu Xing’s approach.

If this continues, Hongyang Animal Husbandry will become the second Yongan.

Your investment may also be wasted.

"I understand, please go out first."

Han Guangqi leaned tiredly in the chair, closed his eyes, and kept rubbing his forehead. It was obvious that he had been tortured a lot. He no longer had the high spirits he had when he moved out of Berkeley.

Ring ring ring——

At this time, Han Guangqi's cell phone rang and he found that it was his father calling.

"dad."

"How's the situation over there?" Han Shengqun asked.

"It's not great, but I'll find a way."

"Are you aware of the gap between the two sides?"

Han Shengqun was not angry, but asked patiently.

"Gap? He is not worthy to compare with me." Han Guangqi said.

"I admit that he understands the Internet better than I do, but traffic is a double-edged sword. Berkeley has been lifted to an unprecedented position, but sooner or later he will fall down."

"But this day cannot be delayed for too long. Investors don't have the patience to wait for you."

"I know. I will take care of this matter as soon as possible."

"Go try it."

After hanging up the phone, Han Guangqi stood up and looked at the empty parking lot downstairs, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.

Dangdangdang——

At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Before Han Guangqi could say anything, the male assistant pushed the door and walked in.

"Boss Han, we found an opportunity!"

"What opportunity?" Han Guangqi asked, turning around.

"Someone revealed that the dough processing shop in Berkeley had very serious hygiene problems."

As he spoke, the assistant took out his cell phone and handed it to Han Guangqi.

“This is a photo taken from the scene.”

After looking at the photos on the phone, Han Guangqi's face lit up with joy, and the previous gloom was swept away.

The long-awaited opportunity has arrived!
"Sort out all this information and send it to me."

"understood."

……

That night, Han Guangqi called Zhou Jin, and together with him, Zheng Jianghe and Li Wuyang came.

"Why did you suddenly call us over? Did something happen?" Zhou Jin asked.

"We need to use our own abilities and connections to pull them down with us."

As he spoke, Han Guangqi handed over his cell phone.

"What is it, let me see."

Holding their cell phones, Zheng Jianghe and Li Wuyang also came over.

"What did I say at the beginning? There must be something wrong with their model." Zheng Jianghe said:

"If you take too big a step, you'll probably end up hurting your balls."

"Indeed, if this happened in other places, it wouldn't be a big deal at all, but Berkeley has always emphasized service and food hygiene. Now that something like this has happened, it is really reaping the consequences of its own actions," said Li Wuyang.

"This is an opportunity to pick up the pace," Han Guangqi said.
"Isn't your movie about to enter the promotion stage? You can take this opportunity to criticize them. As long as their reputation is ruined, a chain reaction will occur, and everyone will blame them."

Zhou Jin leaned back in his chair and looked at the dirty and messy processing point.

"This is just a case of the ugly woman imitating the beautiful woman. If you can't learn the essence, don't play around so easily. Now you're going to kill yourself."

The three people's attention was all on Zhou Jin. He was an expert in this area and his opinions were convincing.

Han Guangqi said: "This is just a small incident. I am worried about this kind of news and cannot do anything to them."

Zhou Jin lit a cigarette, thought for a moment and said:
"After so many days, is there anything else besides this kind of scandal?"

"No, the negative news we found is not very good, and there is no chance of hard blackening." Han Guangqi said.

"It doesn't matter. These negative facts are enough."

"Sure?"

"Of course." Zhou Jin shrugged and said:
"They are now like balloons being lifted to the sky. This scandal is like a nail. As long as a hole can be poked in them, they will fall to their death."

After a pause, Zhou Jin continued:
"As long as their reputation changes, their own traffic pool will become a negative traffic pool. As long as negative news is released, there will be traffic. So, this is just a trigger, which is enough to deal with them!"
