Chapter 548: Reckoning
For Meng Haoyan, the next thing is really a bit difficult.
If Chef Wu's restaurant was just a restaurant with no background, Meng Haoyan wouldn't care.
If Chef Wu wanted to sue the "Changshi Evening News", let them go, but Meng Haoyan didn't believe that they could win.
The reason is very simple, although Li Canru's article mentions Chef Wu, as well as poppy husk powder, pigments, flavors, etc., he uses the Spring and Autumn brushwork and does not completely tie the two together.
In this way, when this matter is decided by the court, it can be left or right, and Meng Haoyan believes that with the background of the "Changshi Evening News", the court naturally knows which direction to deviate.
Not necessarily.
It stands to reason that even if the "Changshi Evening News" loses, it doesn't seem to be a big deal to deal with Li Canru and then publish an apology in the report.
But the problem is that if something like that really happens, "Changshi Evening News" will have a bad reputation and will be ridiculed by peers, and he, Meng Haoyan, as the president of "Changshi Evening News", will also have a stain on his career.
The most important thing is that he doesn't know if some high-ranking people will have an opinion about him because of this.
Therefore, the only thing he can do now is to try to reach a settlement with Chef Wu before they sue them.
Meng Haoyan had no choice.
After saying goodbye to Yi Hongjiang, Meng Haoyan didn't go anywhere, and went directly to Chef Wu's restaurant, where he saw Shen Mo in a very low manner.
This matter is silent, where can he call the shots, and immediately called Wu Xiaozheng.
Wu Xiaozheng's homecoming vacation was interrupted like this.
This is the reason why Wu Xiaozheng doesn't want Yu Zixuan and the old man to make a casual move.
As long as they don't take action, the Changshi Evening News will not take Chef Wu's prosecution seriously.
In this way, Chef Wu has enough time to let this matter fully ferment.
When the time comes, the announcement of the prosecution decision will cause a wave of sensation, and as soon as the appraisal results come out, another wave of prosecution can be created, and there will be another wave of prosecution, and there will be another wave when the verdict is made.
Wave after wave, it is difficult for Chef Wu not to be famous.
As for how the court will decide, Wu Xiaozheng doesn't care at all.
What he wants is not the final verdict, nor the apology of the "Changshi Evening News", but Chef Wu's appearance in the media wave after wave.
Is this kind of publicity effect something that can be obtained by spending money on advertising?
Well, now, the news that Chef Wu will sue the "Changshi Evening News" has just been exposed from various media, and a little news that is difficult to attract attention has been exposed, and it will be difficult to ferment later.
The reason is Meng Haoyan's arrival.
If Meng Haoyan doesn't come to the door, Wu Xiaozheng can pretend to be confused and continue to play a good show.
But as soon as Meng Haoyan came to the door, he couldn't pretend to be confused, after all, he was the president of such a big newspaper in the system.
If Wu Xiaozheng pretends to be confused again, he will offend Meng Haoyan and "Changshi Evening News" to death.
In the shopping mall, it is difficult to have eternal friends, and there may not be eternal enemies, and there are only eternal interests.
If Wu Xiaozheng doesn't want to become an enemy with "Changshi Evening News", then he can only negotiate a deal with Meng Haoyan.
To put it bluntly, Wu Xiaozheng had to change his thinking and negotiate with Meng Haoyan on conditions to stop losses.
This condition may not be negotiated, because he cannot grasp the opportunity to respond.
Wu Xiaozheng must come to talk in person.
Wu Xiao returned to Changshi on the 18th, the day when the first branch of Wu Chef Restaurant stopped discounting.
With him came Ma Li.
On the days when he went back, Ma Li happened to be going through the divorce procedures, and he didn't have the opportunity or think about how to talk to her in detail.
After all, it was someone's sad thing, and Wu Xiaozheng had to be cautious.
And when Ma Li had just completed the divorce, Meng Haoyan urged him to go back to Changshi to meet.
As a last resort, he had no choice but to invite Ma Li to come to Changshi to relax.
As soon as he returned to Chef Wu's restaurant, Wu Xiaozheng did not rush to inform Meng Haoyan to come over, but first called Xiong Guoping and Yu Jun into the office.
"Mr. Xiong, Mr. Yu, you can! As soon as I'm not there, you will toss such a big thing, do you want to set a table for you to celebrate?"
Because of his anger, Wu Xiaozheng doesn't have a good face for these two people at all now, and his speech is very yin and yang.
Xiong Guoping was very embarrassed.
Although the two are close partners, Wu Xiaozheng warned him at the beginning that it is okay to cooperate, but they must not interfere with Chef Wu's operation.
Well, now that I seem to have screwed things up on my own initiative.
And this self-assertion has been done more than once.
Before he knew Wu Xiaozheng, he privately invited Li Canru to come over, and that was the first time.
It was another time that Wu Xiaozheng was not informed of the conspiracy, and he privately instigated Yu Jun to investigate the conspirators.
And when he looks at Wu Xiaozheng's appearance now, he seems to be really angry.
"Did we really mess things up?" asked Xiong Guoping, stumblingly.
Wu Xiaozheng sighed.
To be honest, if it weren't for the Zhengde company behind Xiong Guoping, for this partner, he would really be ruthless and teach him a lesson.
When doing business in partnership, the most fearful thing is that there are too many people who meddle in the management, and it is easy to mess up.
Now Xiong Guoping has obviously committed this taboo.
"Come, I'll settle an account with you and see how much Chef Wu has to lose if you do this. ”
Wu Xiaozheng began to talk about his operation plan one after another.
Xiong Guoping and Yu Jun were stunned.
It turns out that things can still be played like this!
If Wu Xiaozheng really played like this, what was originally a troublesome thing would turn out to be a big thing.
But now this big good thing was really messed up by the two of them.
"Mr. Xiong, let me ask you, I am now investing 2 million yuan to advertise, can I achieve the publicity effect in my plan?"
Xiong Guoping was so embarrassed that he couldn't answer.
Obviously, not to mention two million, even if it is three million, it may not be able to have the impact of wave after wave of hype.
How does this make him answer? Promise to compensate for the damage?
He can't afford it!
Wu Xiaozheng accepted it when he saw it: "You have done something wrong, you can't have no punishment at all." ”
First of all, it was about Xiong Guoping: "Mr. Xiong, go to Huatian Hotel to book an executive suite for Mr. Ma, you are responsible for the cost, and Mr. Ma can stay as long as he wants." ”
Xiong Guoping: "......"
That's it?
It's a little too cheap for me!
He secretly had a good time, and quickly slipped out under the pretext of going to book a room.
He had to slip away, it was embarrassing to stay here any longer.
"Yu Jun, go to the back kitchen to be a helper for a week, don't be lazy, otherwise I will go to the old man to complain. ”
Yu Jun also quickly slipped out.
He made a mistake, and now he is simply protesting.
Wu Xiaozheng smiled bitterly again.
This loss is really gone, but he can't really punish Xiong Guoping and Yu Jun for this, which will hurt his feelings.
So he had no choice but to raise the whip high and lower it gently.
Only after he experienced this experience, the two of them could improve their memory a little and stop making claims.
Alas, it's up to you to recoup your losses!
He began to call the phone number left by Meng Haoyan.
