Chapter 327: Negative Voices
Within a few days, the geometrically increasing number of forwards of this text message had a big effect, both positive and negative.
On the positive side, due to the previous warning of the blizzard on the forum, some people have dispelled the idea of returning to their hometowns for the New Year, and this time the strong attack of text messages, some people have transferred the train tickets they bought with great difficulty.
It's just that too many Chinese people have a strong plot of returning to their hometowns for the New Year, and they are holding the idea of "even if there are knives in the sky, they must go home", so how can a mere snowstorm stop them from returning home?
From the 23rd, the Ministry of Railways officially entered the Spring Festival transportation period.
Due to the excessive impact of the text message, the people panicked about the arrival of the snowstorm, and people in various places began to rush supplies, and prices rose to varying degrees in many places.
At the same time, voices at the forum expressing skepticism, criticism, and criticism of Tianxiang Group's approach came out.
The post expressing opposition directly pointed out that Tianxiang's bad intentions were impure, because the last text message predicting that the sky would snow would raise the stock, they were repeating the same trick, and regardless of whether the so-called blizzard prediction was really that accurate, their practice itself was a kind of hype and contempt.
There are also accusations that the Tianxiang Group deliberately disturbed the people's hearts, resulting in unstable prices, and causing the stock market, which was already a gloomy fog, to continue to suffer.
There is also a ridicule of Tianxiang Group for playing a god stick and directing and acting in this farce, see how you end up then?
It is also said that it is better to simply close the meteorological department and let Tianxiang Group take over directly. There are even some people who talk coolly, and they carry a small bench to watch a good show. Let's see if this time Tianxiang Group's prediction comes true again, or whether it will shoot itself in the foot.
The post discussing the SMS incident quickly became the hottest post in the forum gossip, and was topped to the top by many netizens. There are more and more netizens who are watching the excitement and continue to click on the post.
And Chen Zhuzi was also invited to tea by relevant departments and asked him to hold a press conference. The intent of the incident was clarified in order to relieve the panic of the people and impose a fine of 200,000 yuan on Tianxiang Group.
The incident of the chairman of Tianxiang Group being taken away immediately caused an uproar in public opinion, and the stock took a big dive in an instant.
The future also finally realized what the marshal meant by "trouble". She only wanted everyone to avoid the inconvenience caused by this blizzard as much as possible, but she didn't expect it to have such a big negative impact.
"Master, I'm sorry, it's all my opinion......"
In the chairman's office, the future pleads guilty to Chen Zhuzi, who has just returned from the relevant departments.
"You didn't do anything wrong, why did you say sorry to me?" Chen Zhuzi smiled and waved his hand at her. From his face, there was no ill effect of being invited to tea. "Isn't that what the Chinese government is all about? If you have a headache and a head and foot pain, you must express it in order to explain it to the people! There are two sides to everything, and since we admit his good side, we also have to face his bad side. You just do what you think you should do, praise is given to you, and I will carry the black pot! ”
"Master!" The future couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, choked up and couldn't speak.
The day after Chen Zhuzi was invited to tea. S City also entered a situation of heavy snowfall, and overnight, the road surface was covered with thick snow, and the roofs of the shantytowns did not have time to melt due to the accumulation of heavy snow flakes. Collapse the roof alive.
As a result, heavy snow fell in the Yangtze River basin, and many airlines closed their runways due to bad weather that prevented planes from taking off and landing. There were extensive delays on the plane, and many passengers were stranded in the airport waiting room that could not make the trip.
The blizzard also damaged the electrified catenary of the Hunan section of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, the main railway artery connecting the north and south. During this period, electrified trains could not be operated, resulting in the cancellation of many trains. As a result, a large number of passengers were stranded at the railway stations in Changsha and Guangzhou, and water and electricity were cut off in the severely affected areas, and some people were killed or injured in the snowstorm.
Road blockages, airport closures, and even water and power cuts that can be caused by a blizar are all reflected in the text messages of Tianxiang Group, and now they are fully confirmed. Suddenly, Tianxiang Group and the person who provided the information were pushed to the forefront. Tianxiang Chairman's Office and President's Office have been called by major newspapers and television stations to ask for interviews, and the unified voice of Tianxiang Group is that "a press conference will be held as soon as possible to explain", in fact, not only the media asked, and even Chen Zhuzi's friends in the business world have come to ask where he came from.
In view of this, Tianxiang Group quickly held a press conference, which was presided over by Chen Zhuzi and two vice presidents. Reporters from all walks of life raised their hands to ask questions, and the reporter asked: "Tianxiang Group sent two mobile phone text messages to members on the 1st and 21st of this month, predicting that there will be a snowstorm this year, and then these two text messages have been verified, at the beginning of the heavy snowfall, even the meteorological department has not been able to predict such accurate snow conditions, how do you know?" ”
This question is the hardest to answer, but it is the one that everyone wants to know the most.
Helpless, Chen Zhuzi decided to carry the black pot anyway.
"This, in fact, I have been having a dream about a snowstorm recently, I have the same dream every day, and I checked the relevant information released by the World Meteorological Organization on the Internet, and they said that this year may be a La Niña year, and La Niña often shows a snowstorm in winter, so I boldly guess that my dream may be related to this situation. So I boldly sent the first warning text message to our members. ”
After the first text message was confirmed, Tianxiang Group's stock price rose in response. So, your company added a second text message, but this time it caused many suspicions and many netizens attacked and abused, and also led to the looting of materials in some areas and the rise in prices, may I ask Chairman Chen, what do you have to say? Reporter 2 asked.
"It's that I didn't think it so thoughtfully, and I didn't expect this message to cause panic among everyone. Although some people think that I have bad intentions, I want to say that I am worthy of my heart. I can't convince everyone with the dream warning, but I want to do my best to reduce the possible impact, so I sent out such a warning text message. I know that those netizens who have prejudices against Tianxiang Group are likely to think that we are playing tricks again, trying to expand our influence and increase the stock price. After the first SMS was verified, Tianxiang's stock bucked the trend, indicating that everyone has confidence in Tianxiang Group, and I am very grateful to everyone for supporting Tianxiang so much. There are supporters, there must be opponents, this is the objectivity of the existence of contradictions in things, not to mention, not everything is negative we can foresee, even if it can be predicted, but as long as the starting point is good, I think it is worth doing. ”
"What do you say about the fact that you were asked by the relevant authorities to cooperate with the investigation and that you were also fined?"
"Well, on that, as I said, it's one of the negatives. In the future, I may think more thoroughly, and I will not blindly do such unjustified things, and fully consider the psychology of the people. ”
"Do you mean that if you encounter this kind of dream warning again in the future, you will not use this way to remind everyone to be on guard?"
"No, that's not what I meant. I mean, I'll report what I know to the authorities as soon as possible, and leave it to them to deal with it. I think after these two incidents, maybe the authorities will pay attention to my opinion, right? ”
"You mean, you mentioned it to the authorities, but they didn't take it seriously, did you?"
"Would you believe such nonsense as a warning in a dream if I told you? In the 10 days since the first text message was sent, we haven't received a single call from a single reporter! (laughs)
There was also a knowing low laugh from the audience.
Even everyone present would not believe such baseless "rumors", let alone official figures who are truthful and substantiated? Even if the government does not act, no one is to blame for this.
Although I think it's incredible, the facts are in front of me, and I can't help but believe it.
"How long do you think this blizzard will last?"
"I promised in a text message that from that day onwards, by March, I would donate 5% of the turnover of Tianxianglou and Tianxiang series condiments to the areas affected by the snowstorm."
"That is, is this snowstorm likely to last until March?"
"I'm not sure about this, but this blizzard is fierce and destructive, and even if the snow does not last until March, the recovery process will definitely exceed March for the areas that have been damaged by this disaster!"

The press conference was broadcast live on the local TV station in S City, and then edited and broadcast on the local TV station on the same day or the next night, and the news finally concluded that due to the long duration of the snowstorm and the great harm, it is not conducive to the travel of the general public, and it is recommended that everyone stay in the local area for the New Year.
In fact, due to the impact of the second text message, some people have already dispelled the idea of going home, and the number of passengers stranded at the train station and airport is less than the number in the future in the previous life, but it is only the tip of the iceberg compared to the huge number of returning passengers.
After the news aired this time, some people retreated. In addition to appeasing the emotions of passengers, distributing water and biscuits, and opening nearby public facilities, they also persuaded passengers to stay in the local area for the Chinese New Year, promised to refund their tickets in full, and sent them back to any place designated by local passengers free of charge.
Due to the active response of the authorities this time, and the fact that the public was aware of the snow situation in advance and actively cooperated, there were no incidents of deaths due to a stampede in the railway station due to chaos, and there were no incidents of people being emotionally unstable and clashing with public security personnel who came to maintain law and order.
