Qing Shan Qu Zui
Chapter 1593 Wei Jinghui Hesitates (Bonus Chapter Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Old Deng's words left Wei Jinghui dumbfounded: "This is all from your own inspiration? You wrote everything in this draft?"
Old Deng nodded, puzzled. "Yes, I wrote it all. Is there a problem?"
"Isn't this what Mr. Wu Bin usually teaches us? We can just use it on the spot; there's no need to ask Mr. Wu Bin for instructions!"
"Every word here comes from the bottom of my heart. Although I've written several articles with over 100,000 views before, none of them felt as good to write as this one!"
Wei Jinghui felt a mix of emotions.
What was going on?
He had come to Tenda Group as an undercover agent from Boqun Media, planning to spend a few days playing along with Wu Bin, collecting some evidence, and then withdrawing.
Once the goal was achieved, the company's operation mode would remain the same as before. Overtime would still be overtime, and they would still chase hot topics as quickly as possible!
After all, Wu Bin wouldn't be staying at the company for long. Even if he kept praising the Tenda spirit, how much influence could he really have?
Old Deng's heartfelt words made Wei Jinghui realize that things were far from as simple as he had thought.
Even Old Deng, the chief editor who could easily get over 100,000 views with any article, had been completely won over by Wu Bin's theories?
Wei Jinghui had been busy secretly reporting to Nie Yunsheng and hadn't paid much attention to the employees' work status or the articles published on the self-media accounts.
He didn't know if other employees felt the same way as Old Deng, so he asked casually, "What do you all think about our company's cooperation with Tenda Group?"
Hearing Wei Jinghui's question, Old Deng gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Mr. Wei, this is the most brilliant decision you've ever made!"
"Seriously, after working with Mr. Wu Bin, we realized that this is what truly excellent talent looks like, this is the truly correct way of working and the right values!"
"Although I've written high-traffic articles before, I always felt lost because I was just constantly chasing hot topics and trying to create buzz and public opinion through various means. But the content I wrote didn't actually align with what I believed in; I was just going through the motions."
"Although I was completing my work, I didn't feel happy at all. I felt like a machine for chasing and creating hot topics, not a thinking person!"
"I think Mr. Wei, you must have seen this too, so you wanted to cooperate with Tenda to carry out a large-scale ideological reform within the company, right?"
"We fully support your decision, Mr. Wei!"
"Since Mr. Wu Bin came, he has made sweeping reforms to all our content. Although I think the traffic of the company's various accounts has decreased, this is only temporary!"
"We are constantly polishing our content, and we firmly believe that the content published by Boqun Media after the rectification will definitely be recognized by all netizens. In the near future, Boqun Media will be reborn from the ashes!"
As Old Deng said these words, his face was filled with the smile of an idealist, a smile that Wei Jinghui had never seen before.
It was a happiness that came from the heart!
These words completely stunned Wei Jinghui. He sat in his boss's chair, staring blankly at Old Deng, lost in thought.
...
Soon after Boqun Media's article was published, it was quickly pushed to the top by a lot of buzz.
Zheng Hao naturally saw it immediately.
He had already prepared the relevant materials of Boqun Media, waiting for this article to be published so he could use it as a bullet to strike at the core of Tenda!
"Hiss... Boqun Media is really ruthless. We agreed to just sing a duet, but it feels like they're really pouring out a blood feud?"
"Forget it, forget it. This makes it seem more real and less suspicious!"
Zheng Hao didn't expect Boqun Media's article to be so sharp that it almost reversed public opinion online.
Especially when refuting Zheng Hao's two questions, they spoke with reason and evidence, making Zheng Hao a little annoyed and almost suspecting which side they were on.
However, Zheng Hao didn't take these things to heart. After all, what Boqun Media said wasn't important; what was important was the comparison between its previous state and its current state as a company cooperating with Tenda.
As long as Boqun Media could maintain its current half-dead state, it would be enough to serve as a bullet aimed at Tenda.
Taking advantage of the article's popularity, Zheng Hao immediately followed up.
"Boqun Media seems to be the typical example of someone who's been sold off but still counts the money for the seller!"
"This article is well-written. On the surface, it seems righteous and refutes my point of view, but in fact, Boqun Media's current situation just proves my point!"
"Boqun Media is one of the companies cooperating with Tenda, and Tenda has also sent specialists to carry out a comprehensive rectification of Boqun Media's business and management."
"As I said before, Tenda's so-called cooperation and rectification is nothing more than forcibly promoting its own no-overtime strategy."
"But what has this strategy brought to Boqun Media? It's a sharp decline in performance, and the entire company is on the verge of collapse, teetering on the brink!"
"This is enough to prove that I'm right!"
"Tenda Group, Tianhuo Studio, and Longyu Corporation can succeed only because they are large companies with a lot of resources, and Tenda has many talents in the game industry, so the business improvement is successful. This covers up their failures in management improvement!"
"When they encounter areas they are not good at, Tenda people will still forcibly push that so-called no-overtime management concept, and failure is inevitable."
"Boqun Media is a bloody example!"
"This is enough to show that Tenda Group is hypocritical, and touting no-overtime is just used as a weapon of values! In fact, Tenda doesn't care about the life and death of these small companies. As managers and employees of small companies, everyone must keep their eyes open and think about what is truly beneficial to them!"
"As managers, do you want to strictly manage and restrain employees, so that the company can seize fleeting opportunities and continue to grow and develop? Or are you being fooled by Tenda, forcibly implementing a no-overtime strategy that doesn't fit the company's conditions, and letting your hard work go down the drain?"
"As employees, do you want to work hard for a period of time, grow with the company, and earn a better income? Or do you want to strictly adhere to no-overtime, resulting in the company's collapse and everyone having to find a new job?"
"The data doesn't lie. I believe everyone can make the right choice!"
Below this long Weibo post, Zheng Hao also posted several pictures showing the changes in Boqun Media's data before and after the reform.
Before the reform, there were many articles with over 100,000 views, and the traffic was high, resulting in high advertising rates.
But the content published after the reform had lower and lower views, the account was continuously losing followers, and the evaluation of advertising value was also continuously declining.
These data were detailed and sufficient, and the key was that they were all real!
Zheng Hao wasn't worried at all that someone would point out that these data were fabricated, because these data were personally provided by Wei Jinghui, the boss of Boqun Media!
The evidence was overwhelming, so what else was there to say?
...
...
Tuesday, June 25th.
Pei Qian was in his office, closely monitoring the latest public opinion war launched by Zhaiju Takeaway.
"This Zheng Hao is quite capable! It seems he's found a new breakthrough."
"Before, he stubbornly fought with Tenda on the takeaway platform business, resulting in a bloody nose. Now he knows to start with the management model, not bad, worthy of encouragement!"
"People, you still can't be too stubborn; you must know how to choose the battlefield that suits you."
"This undercover agent is also performing well. Boqun Media gave such detailed data, which should help the anti-Tenda alliance to last a few more days in this round of public opinion war, right?"
Before this, Wu Bin had already realized that there was a problem with Boqun Media and that it was likely an undercover agent sent by the anti-Tenda alliance. He even called specifically to report and ask Pei Qian if he needed to terminate the cooperation with Boqun Media.
Of course, Pei Qian disagreed!
He had long been expecting the anti-Tenda alliance to send undercover agents to Tenda Group to gather intelligence and find new breakthroughs.
Now that one had finally come, how could he easily let him go!
Now the undercover agent had finally collected enough information, finally playing some role.
Pei Qian took a closer look. Under Wu Bin's leadership, Boqun Media had undergone sweeping reforms, and the effect could be said to be immediate, with all kinds of popularity plummeting!
Pei Qian felt a little lucky in his heart that it was the self-media industry.
If it were other industries, especially creative industries, Wu Bin's changes, fully stimulating the creative enthusiasm of ordinary employees, disrupting the previous production and creation structure, might really be able to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of employees and produce some good works!
But the self-media industry is somewhat special after all. It is not a purely cultural and creative industry; it is the media industry, and it is a media industry without much resource support.
Therefore, if the self-media industry wants to stand out, it seems that the quickest and most effective way is to use disreputable means such as chasing hot topics and publishing controversial remarks.
Wu Bin did turn this company into a positive company, but this kind of change seems to be completely incompatible with the self-media industry.
In short, it was a bullet sent to the anti-Tenda alliance.
Before, many people scolded Zheng Hao a lot, and Boqun Media's article scolded him the most fiercely, but Zheng Hao's counterattack did leave many people speechless.
Boqun Media, the vanguard of refuting Zheng Hao's remarks, actually had a cooperative relationship with Tenda? And its recent situation was not good?
Firstly, this could explain that the article published by Boqun Media was not absolutely objective and neutral, but was influenced by Tenda; secondly, Boqun Media's deep cooperation with Tenda resulted in a continuous decline in popularity and a sharp decline in performance, which was obviously a failure from a company operation level!
What about all the companies that were said to be rising steadily after cooperating with Tenda Group? How did Boqun Media experience such a cliff-like decline?
Many people couldn't help but recall what Zheng Hao had said before.
The no-overtime model promoted by Tenda may not be the whole truth!
Tenda's success may be due to some other complex reasons, not just the no-overtime model that Tenda adheres to, just like many old developed countries can become developed countries, but not necessarily because of their ideology, culture and values, but because they first established a rich wealth base through colonization and plunder.
Even if Tenda's no-overtime model works for Tenda, it is likely to encounter acclimatization in other companies.
The success of Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Corporation is because they are in Tenda's most proficient game field. Once they switch to other fields, such as Boqun Media's self-media field, they immediately can't make it work!
It seemed that Zheng Hao's counterattack was indeed very favorable, and the situation was very good.
However, Pei Qian did not become complacent because Zheng Hao had achieved a temporary victory, but remained vigilant!
Pei Qian knew better than anyone in the anti-Tenda alliance that Tenda's counterattack could happen in some unexpected areas at any time!
