Chapter 318 Let You See How Bad I Am
After sending Li Xiaoping back, they had a simple meal in the county and then drove away.

Most of the time, Shen Qingqiu was looking at his phone, browsing the relevant news.

"The speed of Internet communication is so fast. It has become a local hot search within a few hours."

"I think their pitch was too high," Lin Jiang said.

"Normally, many problems are well known to everyone. If it were other shopping malls, they would just issue an announcement, deal with the relevant personnel involved, and apologize, and that would be it. But he kept targeting Donglai Supermarket, saying things like Beidonglai and Nanhuipin. He made such a big fuss, and now there's a problem, and we're all waiting for their results."

"I remember that in Berkeley's face incident, they seemed to have lost more than 800 million. Their situation is even more serious, and they may not even be able to recover more than 800 million." Shen Qingqiu said:
"A total of four safety and health issues were exposed. Take you as an example. You paid 800 million for one of them, which is 3200 million. Their capital chain may not be able to bear it."

“But I don’t think they will necessarily pay.”

"I don't think so either." Shen Qingqiu said:
"They are different from Berkeley. Your equity structure is single, so you can react quickly. But above Huipin City, there is Huipin Group, and there are other shareholders inside. If you want to pay so much money, they definitely can't afford it. The head office has to pay the money, but other shareholders may not agree. At the same time, this also involves a chain reaction."

After a pause, Shen Qingqiu continued:

"Consumers will associate Huipin City with other Huipin supermarkets. If there are any problems in the future, they will be blamed. This is the real hidden danger to be faced."

Shen Qingqiu analyzed the pros and cons from a professional perspective, and also saw more far-reaching problems.

"I thought they would have problems, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. It will be interesting to watch next."

"You and Huipin City can indeed be regarded as a classic business case, which can provide a lot of material for their papers."

"We have to thank Wenqi for this. If it weren't for her pushing forward, there might not have been such a good effect."

The two talked and chatted, and when they returned to Zhonghai, it was already past 4 o'clock in the evening.

The weather was a little chilly, so the two of them went out to eat hotpot in the evening and sent Shen Qingqiu back home around 5pm.

"Thank you for your hard work. You came to spend the New Year with me and even called my aunt over."

"A top student is just smart. If they don't let you say thank you, they'll say thank you for your hard work instead."

"I really want to say thank you to you, but you won't let me, so this is all I can do."

Shen Qingqiu felt a little aggrieved because he didn't know how to express his feelings.

"I asked you to come back with me. If you don't go, my mother will have to come here."

"That's why I feel sorry for her. She must have suffered from such a long journey."

"It's okay, you can just go back during the Chinese New Year. Of course, it's up to you whether to go or not, don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself."

"I will definitely go!"

Shen Qingqiu said decisively: "If I don't go, Auntie will definitely be angry, and..."

A smile appeared on Shen Qingqiu's face.

"Besides, it would be boring for the two of you to spend the New Year at home. If I go there with more people, it will be more lively."

"That's right then."

"Ah."

The two chatted for a while, then Shen Qingqiu got out of the car and left. Lin Jiang drove back to Century Triumph.

I looked at the time, it was 6:30. Qin Yangyang said she would come around o'clock in the evening, so I had to wait for her for a while.

Looking at the box office rankings, the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" has reached 1.4 million, and it also won the first place in the single-day box office with a score of 8.6.

In Lin Jiang's opinion, 8.6 points is not low.

I looked at the total box office of "Goodbye Youth" again, which barely reached 1400 million, and today's box office just exceeded one million.

If we continue at this pace, it would be good if we can reach 2000 million.

After exiting the box office software, Lin Jiang opened Douyin's hot searches again.

The hot searches about Huipin City are still hanging there.

But until now, Huipin Group has not given any response.

But the revelations about them kept coming out one after another.

Unlike the Berkeley of the past, Huipin City gives people a sense of being pushed down by everyone.

In addition to the problems revealed by Zheng Wenqi, other consumers also revealed their bad shopping experiences online.

And everyone’s complaints are very accurate. What qualifications do they have to compare with Donglai Supermarket?
At the same time, as a competitor in the same city, Berkeley naturally became the object of their comparison.

The comparison results are obvious at a glance, and the criticism was completely severe.

Lin Jiang thought of Shen Qingqiu's analysis.

Huipin Group has a complex equity structure and it is impossible for it to respond as quickly as Berkeley, and it may not be able to respond within 24 hours.

Even if a response is made, it may not be as grand as Berkeley's.

In short, this silent battle will soon have a result.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, Qin Yangyang arrived.

She was wearing a thin black down jacket and blue jeans and boots.

Under the down jacket was a black tight-fitting top. Her two big white rabbits were round and plump, forming a perfect arc with her flat belly.

Although among the women, Qin Yangyang's size is not the largest, but it is definitely the best looking.

Seeing Lin Jiang, Qin Yangyang hugged him and looked at him proudly.

"Have you missed me during these days at home?"

"Look at the dark circles under my eyes. I can't sleep at night because of thinking about it. My mom asked me to stay for a few more days, but I can't stay even for a minute."

"You're good at talking, give me a kiss, mua~~~"

Letting go of Lin Jiang's hand, Qin Yangyang took off her down jacket and changed into a loose nightgown.

"What were you busy with today? Why did you come here just now?" Lin Jiang asked casually.

"Don't mention it. I had a fight with my mom, otherwise I would have come here a long time ago."

"Arguing? Auntie won't urge you to get married, right?"

"That's not the case." Qin Yangyang gathered her hair and said:

"She has a good friend whose child is getting married, and she's going back to Zhonghai tomorrow to hold a thank-you party. She asked us to go with her, but I said I wasn't interested, and then we had a few words."

"Since you're not going, just let Youyou go with her."

"Youyou doesn't want to go either, and my mom wants to take me with her."

Lin Jiang could understand Jiang Rongmin's thoughts.

The palms and backs of the hands are both made of flesh, but in comparison, Qin Yangyang is undoubtedly better.

It would definitely be more appropriate to bring Qin Yangyang with me to attend such an important occasion.

Being able to become a partner of a red-circle law firm at such a young age makes you feel proud when introducing yourself to others.

Even wealthy families are not immune to this.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Qin Yangyang said:
"We went to see the movie you invested in. My mom, who is so serious, was made to laugh. How was the box office?"

"It's the No. 2 single-day box office, and the screening rate is getting higher and higher. If this momentum continues, it will exceed million tomorrow."

"Have you made any predictions about the box office revenue? How much will it be?"

"An online agency gave a professional estimate of about 23 billion, but I think it's far more than that. It's possible to reach 30 billion."

"My parents said that after work tomorrow, they will arrange for the company's employees to go to the movies, which can be regarded as a contribution to your box office."

"Don't do that. I am such a big shot that I don't deserve to be treated like this by the two of them."

Qin Yangyang looked at Lin Jiang with a half-smile, "You are their son-in-law now, so I will help you without reservation." "Qin Lu, I think you can't understand the situation."

"Why can't you understand the situation?"

"This is my home. You are talking to me in such a sarcastic way. Have you ever considered the consequences?"

Qin Yangyang looked fierce, "What are you going to do?"

"What do you think?"

Lin Jiang stepped forward, subdued Qin Yangyang and pressed her down on the sofa.

Qin Yangyang resisted at first, but after the invasion, he immediately became timid and even took the initiative to cooperate.

"Don't you dare?"

"dare."

"Then I won't move."

"Are you annoying?"

Lin Jiang slapped Qin Yangyang on the butt and said, "Tell me, do you dare?"

"No, I dare not..."

"If you had just been so obedient earlier, everything would have been fine. Why bother?"

"You are the bad guy!"

"Then I'll show you how bad I really am."

After saying that, Lin Jiang stepped up his efforts and started tonight's import and export trade.

……

Earl No. 3 is the most famous mall in Zhonghai and also one of the malls with the highest consumption. The Princess here is also the highest in Zhonghai.

Almost all the people who come here to consume every day are wealthy bosses and rich second-generations.

In box 302, the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

Zheng Jianghe, Han Guangqi, Li Wuyang, and Zhou Jin are all here.

Whenever they came here to play, the princess was always present.

Now, there was nothing else except the beer and fruit plate on the table.

Among the four people, except Zheng Jianghe, the others looked unhappy.

Huipin City was exposed for food safety issues, and one-sided public opinion emerged on the Internet, pointing the finger at Huipin City.

Han Guangqi's initial idea was to follow Berkeley's example and take out 1000 million to compensate consumers to let them see Huipincheng's sincerity.

However, more and more problems have been exposed later. If a compensation policy is adopted, then compensation must be paid for every negative incident, otherwise it will be impossible to calm down the public opinion on the Internet.

But after calculation, if all compensation is made according to high standards, even 100 million may not be enough.

Because there are too many problems.

Huipincheng’s capital chain cannot afford such compensation, and the group is unlikely to agree to such a compensation plan.

For a moment, Han Guangqi was caught in a dilemma and could not think of a solution.

Li Wuyang and Zhou Jin's situation was not good either.

Muxing started to operate its own business, further seizing Yongan’s market share.

In the northern market, Liyuan's products were gradually rolled out, and the market was greatly impacted. Hongyang Animal Husbandry's market share was also declining, and the previous investment was likely to be wasted.

Finally, it’s Zhou Jin. According to prediction, the box office of "Goodbye Youth" can reach 2000 million, which is already a big hurdle.

After deducting the share of profits and the money from publicity and promotion, there was little left in his hands. The investment of 50 million could be said to have been wasted.

The three of them sat together, drinking silently. Zheng Jianghe sat beside them and said:

"Drinking won't solve the problem. Let's talk about each other's situation first and think of a solution together."

He took out cigarettes and threw them to a few people. Zheng Jianghe said:

"Old Han, what's going on here? I see there's a lot of noise online. Don't you have any contacts to suppress the hype?"

"We suppressed it, but it didn't work very well. Lin Jiang must have been behind the scenes, making the matter worse and worse. We can no longer handle it."

"You can follow their example and pay compensation if there is a problem. It can also be considered a marketing move."

"The situations on both sides are different. Berkeley has no shareholders and only one shopping mall. They can handle it however they want. But Huipin City has a group, more than 20 shareholders, and six Huipin supermarkets. If this precedent is set and problems arise in other supermarkets, if they are not handled in the same way, it may cause a huge chain reaction and public pressure. The group will not agree to this approach."

After listening to what Han Guangqi said, Zheng Jianghe also understood his difficulties.

"It's been so long, is there any preliminary solution?"

"We will issue an apology notice, remove the relevant personnel from their posts, and compensate anyone who becomes ill after eating our food. That's all we have now."

"Under normal circumstances, this is fine, but since you are benchmarking against Donglai Supermarket and Berkeley, this may not work."

"Definitely not. The service industry is all about service. If I really adopt this approach, my plan will be over and Huipin City will decline."

"If we compare the compensation to their standards, how much will it cost?"

"It'll cost at least 100 million, a figure we can't afford."

"According to what you said, there is nothing we can do now."

"Let's try again. I've spent a lot of energy on this and I can't lose to him so easily!"

After talking with Han Guangqi, Zheng Jianghe looked at Li Wuyang and Zhou Jin again.

"How are you two doing?"

"Not so good. Yongan's market share has further decreased, and two-thirds of its equipment has stopped working. Investment in Hongyang Animal Husbandry has also weakened due to the entry of Muxing. I don't know what to do now."

Zheng Jianghe looked at Zhou Jin again.

"The movie still isn't getting any better."

"Don't mention it. They are a bunch of tasteless idiots. I really looked down on them beforehand."

"damn it……"

Zheng Jianghe cursed, "Even the three of you couldn't handle him together. If this gets out, CRT will lose face."

"The problem is that they are too powerful. It seems like they can do anything they want and there is nothing we can do about them," said Li Wuyang.

Zheng Jianghe wanted to say something to refute him and boost everyone's morale.

But after thinking for a while, I couldn't come up with a suitable reason.

It can be said that how arrogant they were before, how embarrassed they are now. They all hang their heads like eggplants hit by frost.

"Let's drink, just to relieve boredom." Li Wuyang raised his glass, "Think slowly, I'm sure you can find his weakness."

"Wu Yang is right. You all are lifeless and can't solve the problem."

Several people raised their glasses and drank the wine in them. Han Guangqi said:
"Don't you want to develop a new industry? Do you have any ideas?"

"It is said that Zhonghai Happy Valley and Colorful Ocean World are going to be sold. I am ready to take a look."

"This industry is not bad, but the initial investment is a bit large, but the subsequent income is still very substantial." Zhou Jin said.

Zheng Jianghe lit a cigarette and said slowly:
"I also see this point. As long as I develop it with my heart and give me some time, it won't be a problem to beat Disney."
