Chapter 553: Chapter 243: Two Choices_3
As soon as he leaves, the Green Water Heaven and Earth project will turn into a construction fiasco.
The residential area might find a buyer, but the commercial area, surely no one would want it.
That night, he contacted Xiangnu.
Currently on Kuai Pai, since the launch of the exclusive data card, active users have surged.
From previously having ten million monthly active users, it’s around twenty million now.
Of course, the data card only sold over a hundred thousand units, the main reason being the domestic data fees have decreased, plus wider wifi coverage, and higher broadband usage.
After all, this is the era of short videos...
As the team on Kuai Pai grows, videos start to cover various aspects.
Xiangnu also started digging for some creators on Xigua and Bilibili, with a list provided by Li Yang.
There are those doing seafood catch shows, aquaculture, technology, and also evaluations.
On Kuai Pai, there are several official operational accounts, with the biggest traffic.
The first is the Kuai Pai Assistant, the second Kuai Pai News, and the third Kuai Pai Fact-check.
These three accounts, every new registered user follows them; currently, they have more than thirty million followers, indicating registered users have surpassed this number.
Some people unfollow after registering.
Similarly, Douyin, which officially launched last year, currently only has a few million registered users, not even ten million.
Even though they have Toutiao and Xigua Video for pulling traffic, it’s not as good as Li Yang’s side directly setting up hundreds of teams.
Those teams, they cost a lot of money, taking billions annually.
Now on Kuai Pai, it still allows borderline content... even with larger scales.
If you don’t push the boundaries, you can’t survive, can you let others do it first, steal the traffic, and then start pushing boundaries yourself?
Kuai Pai News updates with a dozen social news daily, almost every piece brings millions of views, and not a few even make it to Weibo, creating numerous hot topics.
And today, Li Yang provided them with material.
"A county supermarket giving out red envelopes faced malicious looting, and angrily retaliated when refused..."
This kind of topic about human nature’s flaws easily grabs people’s attention.
In the video, those customers who queued dozens of times continuously, when discovered, became furious, were filmed. Although the place’s name wasn’t mentioned, the Green Water Heaven and Earth logo was in the video... and he can ’kindly’ remind them in the comments section.
This video quickly garnered over a million views, and the comment section was in chaos.
Ranging from regional insults to discussions of human nature’s flaws, also claiming Green Water Heaven and Earth is overly kind...
After fermenting overnight, it successfully landed on Weibo’s hot search the next day.
Just like when a truck overturned on the highway and passersby looted cabbages.
The place Jiang City began to be known by more people.
Some even dug out that Green Water Heaven and Earth belongs to the Green Water Group, also Li Yang’s business.
Li Yang treated the villagers well, but never expected to be backstabbed by them, losing millions just that day.
Of course, it wasn’t that much in actual loss... the overall loss was only two to three hundred thousand.
It’s not even a loss...
The internet trolls started setting the pace, some even said it was people sent by Xingcheng Supermarket, with local people saying Green Water Heaven and Earth is excellent, not only high quality and low price, but also very well-serviced, with after-sales available at any time, and very sincere compensations for product issues.
The issue fermented the entire day.
The entire Jiang City’s people were represented by this news.
Anyone mentioning they are from Jiang City online, others immediately thought of this news.
The more reserved ones pretended not to see, the less reserved outright mocked.
Jiang City’s keyboard warriors, because of this event, couldn’t win any line for an entire day.
Everyone was furious, damn... how am I lacking in character? Can a few bad apples represent Jiang City?
Then, the identities of those crazily exploiting were dug up.
They are employees of Xingcheng Supermarket...
The people of Jiang City started guiding public opinion, explaining that this is a business war, because Green Water Heaven and Earth is more cost-effective, with better service, it took Xingcheng Supermarket’s business, so Xingcheng Supermarket sent their own employees to pull such a stunt.
There were even conspiracy theories saying, Xingcheng Supermarket relying on its older qualifications, wanted to drive Green Water Heaven and Earth away, and had already given Green Water Heaven and Earth a final ultimatum, if it doesn’t close down, there are other means to follow.
Feng Jianhui didn’t know about it initially, he didn’t have the time to watch those online messes.
But... someone called him, and it was his superior.
Just one sentence: You’ve embarrassed yourself!
Feng Jianhui was in a panic.
Getting personally scolded by the superior meant a lot of things.
This concerns his future.
This kind of thing would be noted down.
He called Ye Bingcheng.
"Ye, I’m really in trouble here."
Ye Bingcheng replied: "What happened?"
"It’s like this..." He explained the situation.
After listening, Ye Bingcheng was dumbfounded.
He directly asked: "Did you really go and say that to Li Yang? Wasn’t my hint obvious enough?"
"But Green Water Heaven and Earth didn’t bring as much profit as Xingcheng Supermarket, plus Green Water Heaven and Earth has been losing money, even if it made money during the New Year, it can’t last long, wasn’t I considering for the Green Water Group?"
Feng Jianhui felt he hadn’t done wrong, it was clearly a win-win situation.
However, Ye Bingcheng sighed, "When did Li Yang ever do a losing business? He’s just starting to lay out his plans, Green Water Heaven and Earth has such a good foundation, why are you afraid he’ll lose money? Now if you want to salvage the situation, there’s only one way."
"What way?"
"Abandon Xingcheng Supermarket, and begin to investigate Xingcheng Supermarket’s account issues, find their tax evasion and loopholes. I’ve stayed in Jiang City for more than a year, I know very well if they have issues."
"This..."
"If you hesitate, Li Yang will continue to make moves, then it will be more than just getting scolded by the boss..."
