"Did you read the newspaper, the Koreans asked the Chinese employees to kneel!"

"Hold the grass, it's awesome if you have a few dollars, I really hate that I wasn't there at the time, or I ...... according to my temper."

"I heard that a female reporter stepped forward and beat up the Korean female boss. ”

"Well done, which newspaper, her newspaper, Lao Tzu ordered it for ten years!"

"Don't say it, the Koreans demanded an apology from the female reporter, and I heard that she would be sentenced to ......."

"Why! I really don't believe it, which court would dare to sentence like this!"

"By the way, that Korean company is the chain store of the Korean supermarket in our city in Yubei......"

"It's actually a Korean supermarket, but I went to buy something the day before yesterday!"

"yes, I originally wanted to go shopping today, but now I decided not to go!"

"I won't go again!"

“……”

Pujiang Morning News was the first in China to report on the incident that occurred in Yubei, and immediately afterward, several other supplementary media also followed up and reported, which caused an uproar among the people for a while. Bao Chengming received instructions from Feng Xiaochen to let the company's informants spread gossip in various places, and spread some things that were inconvenient to disclose in the media through word of mouth. These news will inevitably be added to the vinegar in the process of dissemination, An Xiangxiu is described as an image of a landlord's wife in an old movie, and Du Xiaoyi is naturally a heroine who makes a righteous move. As for the Yubuk city government, it plays a not-so-honorable role in this story, successfully pulling up hatred for the Korean supermarket.

The national media have been silent on this matter, which is also something that cannot be helped. The friendship between China and South Korea is still the mainstream of the moment, and the policy of attracting investment also needs to show the good side of investors. However, the fact that the propaganda department was able to acquiesce to the small media reporting on the matter has already demonstrated an attitude.

"Boycott Korean Supermarket!"

"Get out of the Korean supermarket!"

At the instigation of well-intentioned people, boycotts have taken place in various cities where Korean supermarkets have entered. Of course, the main force of the movement is young people everywhere, and some aunts and uncles did not know about this matter, and when they heard the situation introduced by young people, they all said that they wanted to fight for a breath and not let Koreans ride on the heads of Chinese. Nowadays, there are still very few supermarkets in China, and their main target consumer groups are white-collar elites everywhere, this group is relatively "rational", but in the face of menacing public opinion, there are still many people who choose to temporarily abandon Korean supermarkets, so as not to lose a reputation as a traitor in front of their peers.

"What, the turnover of the Jianlu branch has dropped by 60%!"

Li Dongzan, who was staying in Yubei to put pressure on the government, was dumbfounded when he received a call from his subordinates from Jianlu City, the capital of Haidong Province. Before he could come to his senses, an urgent call from the branch in Jinqin City, Mingzhou, also called, saying that the turnover in the past two days had dropped to only 20 percent. Then the calls came in one after another, all reporting the boycott of the supermarket.

In the era when there was no Internet, it was beyond Li Dongzan's imagination that a negative report could spread so quickly and widely, which of course benefited from Bao Chengming's strong execution. According to Feng Xiaochen's arrangement, Chen Yu Information Company has not been for profit in recent years, and has established hundreds of information collection points across the country, Bao Chengming has a phone call, and the staff of these information collection points are dispatched at the same time, and the effect is stronger than CCTV.

A supermarket is a direct-to-end consumer business, and its brand image is far more important than a factory. The method of boycotting the supermarket is also easier; as long as a few people stand outside the supermarket with signs and shout a few slogans, which person who intends to enter the supermarket will not first ask for an explanation? This kind of thing is the most important thing about the herd effect, and everyone can still discuss one or two other things, and when it comes to the issue of national sentiment, who dares to risk the condemnation of the world?

"I want to know, what's going on?" Mr. Lee yelled at his subordinates on the phone.

"President, it's mainly because of the things in Yubei. The subordinate stumbled on the phone.

"Could it be that the local government has taken action against us?"

"No, it's all spontaneous by the people. ”

"So, have you asked the government to help mediate?"

"I found it, and the government officials also came forward, but it didn't work. Those ordinary people had a very big temper, and even government officials were scolded by them. ”

As if to confirm the situation reported by the subordinates, phone calls from local government officials also came. The people who called were all the deputy mayors in charge of economic and trade investment promotion in various cities, or the local director of investment promotion, in short, they all belonged to people with heads and faces, and they had also met Li Dongzan in the past, and they had some friendships.

As soon as the phone was called, the other party began to apologize, saying that such an unpleasant incident had occurred in the local area, that the government was doing its best to coordinate, that the government's attitude towards foreign businessmen had always been the same, and that the friendship between China and South Korea would be evergreen and immortal......

When these saliva words are finished, the rest of the content is a little ugly.

Well, President Li, we heard that some discordant things happened in the chain store of your supermarket in Yubei, which hurt the feelings of the Chinese people, which led to the boycott of Korean supermarkets by our people here. If your supermarket can't properly solve the matter in Yubei, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our people here to eliminate it. Our government also needs to think about stability, and if we want to speak for Korean supermarkets, we have to have a reason, right?

"This incident is not our fault, but the result of China's provocation to our managers, please explain this to the local people. Li Dongzan said.

"This ...... We don't know much about it. The other party said.

"Don't you still believe the words of my old friend?" Li Dongzan played the relationship card, he claimed to be an old friend, but in fact, he knew in his heart that the other party would not think that he was an old friend, but an important investor, and his words had some weight in the local officials.

But this time, his abacus failed, and after a short period of embarrassment, the other party reminded sneeringly: "President Li, our government also has the difficulties of the government, and now the media is making a lot of noise, but the Yubei Municipal Government does not have a clear statement, and we are inconvenient to explain it for you." In case of...... Well, I mean, in case, it's a bit of a problem, and it's not easy for us to explain it to our superiors. ”

That's what one local government says, and that's what another government says. Officials have maintained a high degree of unanimity on this issue, that is, until the Yubei municipal government makes a clear statement, it is better to take a wait-and-see attitude. Everyone knows how important Korean supermarkets are to the local economy, but it's not worth making mistakes for the sake of a Korean supermarket.

In fact, the officials in these places have also contacted the officials in Yubei privately to find out what happened. Intimidated by the pressure of Feng Xiaochen, Wang Genji, and others, the Yubei City Government adopted a delaying method on this matter, neither explicitly saying that it was the ROK's mistake nor admitting that it was its own mistake. When officials in other places heard the vague answer from Yubei City, how could they not know the mystery.

Li Dongzan was really panicked this time, the script was different from what he imagined. When he came to China to inspect and said that he would invest in the establishment of supermarkets in various places, officials from all over the country surrounded him like gods, and no matter what kind of request he made, the other party would not hesitate to agree, and the implementation was much better than he expected. Perhaps because of this experience, he felt that Chinese officials were soft-boned, and that they would immediately give in if he showed the slightest intention of diving.

But who would have thought that there was a reason why people respected him, and in the absence of any conflict of interest, of course people would be submissive to him. But when things develop to the point where they may adversely affect their official reputation, the first thing that comes to people's minds is themselves, not him, an outside investor. To put it bluntly, investment promotion is also for political performance, if the investor affects the performance of officials, will people still treat you as a guest?

"Dongzan, the Chinese are really bad, let's just go!" An Xiangxiu looked at Li Dongzan, who was full of worries, and suggested.

"Where are you going?" Li Dongzan didn't react for a while.

"Didn't you say that you would withdraw from China? Since they are so unreasonable, let's withdraw to South Korea and make them regret it. An Xiangxiu said angrily.

"Bastard!" Li Dongzan shouted, "It's all caused by you bastard." Why do you want to punish Chinese employees for kneeling, and you still beat them with things, do you think it's in South Korea?"

An Xiangxiu was originally tired of Li Dongzan, but when he heard Li Dongzan's scolding, he was so frightened that he knelt down all of a sudden, pitifully pulled the corner of Li Dongzan's clothes, and said with tears in his eyes: "I'm sorry, people are just upset." Without you by my side, Sang-su couldn't eat or sleep well, and he had nightmares every day, so he did a little rude thing, I'm sorry, please forgive me. ”

"I'm upset, you can go find a little white face to raise!" Li Dongzan said angrily, "You caused such a big thing, now it's okay, more than a dozen chain stores have been affected by you, and the loss of a day is hundreds of thousands of yuan, and you can't get so much money if you sell it!"

"But didn't you say you were going to withdraw from China? Wouldn't it be right now?" Ahn Sang-so said wisely.

Li Dongzan didn't think about it, raised his hand and slapped Ahn Sang-so: "Brainless woman, you also believe this kind of thing! You don't want to think about how fierce the retail competition in South Korea is now, the Chinese market is completely blank, we can lie down and make money, isn't it a fool to withdraw now? I said to withdraw from the Chinese market, just to put pressure on Yubei City, but now it's good, Yubei City has not reacted at all, but other cities have made a fuss. In a few more days, we don't need to take the initiative to quit, those supermarkets are going to close, and all of this is caused by you stupid woman!"
