Chapter 585: Shrinking Head Turtle
Oh no, the president, our New York store is blocked by an angry crowd! By the time she went to work the next day, Media, who was already wearing dark circles under her eyes, heard a report from her subordinates.
"I see!" After seeing last night's report, Medea knew that this kind of thing was inevitable. It's actually okay to block it, but it's a big deal to close the door and stay out of business, and a few days will pass.
But then more news made Medea's face more and more ugly.
"President, the branch in Detroit, when I went to see it in the morning, it was smashed, and the goods inside were all robbed!"
"It's good that people are okay!" Medea comforted herself.
"President, our store in Los Angeles has been broken through by the angry crowd, our employees can't stop it, everything inside has been robbed, all the counters have been smashed, and three employees are injured and bleeding!"
"These guys!" Medea was furious, "They're robbers! ”
In fact, this is also an old tradition in the United States, whenever something happens in the United States, all kinds of protests and demonstrations are inevitable. And after the protest demonstration, it is very normal for everyone to vent the anger in their hearts, vent their violence, and make some benefits by the way, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Anyway, the people of the United States are used to it, and the situation in the United States is good, for example, the people of the country, their traditional program is to burn cars in competitions, and see who burns more cars, so the people of the United States are actually quite restrained.
This is about a symbol of freedom, you can burn whatever you want, you can fight whatever you want, it's very free.
Anyway, one morning, Media's received an alert from hundreds of specialty stores across the country, half of which were closed and all the goods in them were delivered to the warehouse.
This is not bad, in addition, more than 20 stores were forcibly rushed in, everything inside was smashed and smashed, and even more than 20 employees were injured.
At the same time, the entrance of Hasbro's headquarters is full of long guns and short guns, and all the cameras are aimed at Hasbro, and the media wants to get Hasbro's first information as soon as possible, which will make news headlines.
In this environment, even if Hasbro's shareholders go on vacation, they are not allowed to urgently gather in a high-end club for a board meeting on the second night.
Well, the reason why such a meeting is held in a high-end club, and not at Hasbro's headquarters, is because the whole of Hasbro is now completely surrounded by angry crowds.
Although there were security guards on standby, these nobles did not want to risk their lives, so they ran to the high-end country club where no one knew about the meeting.
Anyway, it's just a meeting, and it's the same everywhere.
At the meeting, Medea first made a report to all the directors, and then put forward a request, that is, she wanted Hasbro to spend about $30 million on public relations to completely erase the dispute.
"Why 30 million so much? Last year's public relations expenses added up to only 5 million! A director thought of the cost of 30 million a day, and suddenly said in pain.
You know, now Hasbro's stock price has fallen by about 20%, which is already very bad, and now you have to take out 30 million for public relations, you must know that these 30 million are all profits used to pay dividends this year, and their dividends today will be at least half less.
"Because now the situation is completely out of control, there are too many media who need our public relations, and 30 million is just the lowest estimate!" There is one thing that Mediaa did not say, that is, according to the estimate of the public relations department, it will now take at least 50 million to settle down.
But Medea knows the urine nature of all the directors, and if they give $50 million for PR, you might as well kill them.
So Medea only reported the figure of 30 million, anyway, she paid to suppress the matter first, and then slowly grinded with the board of directors after that.
But what Mediaa didn't expect was that the board of directors didn't even want to come up with 30 million, they discussed it for a long time, and finally decided to pay 10 million public relations fees to settle the incident.
"Impossible, 10 million can't do anything!" Mediaa shouted loudly, "Directors, if you are only willing to spend 10 million, then it is better not to spend money at all, because this will not have any effect, it is better to save the 10 million!" ”
Media was just trying to satirize these directors, but what she didn't expect was that these directors nodded in unison and said, "Okay, then let's do it!" Let's do nothing, don't spend any money, just boil it! ”
Hearing the directors' final reply, Medea was about to go crazy, what the hell is this? The meeting lasted all night, and in the end it came to the conclusion that nothing was done?
Are these directors stupid?
In fact, these directors are not stupid at all, but they are all extremely smart, they know very well that things have come to this point, let alone spending 30 million, making 50 million, and it may not be able to solve the problem.
In the end, it was not possible to smash all the funds of Hasbro into it, and it was also a waste of money.
Rather than this, it is better to be a turtle with a shrunken head, anyway, time is the best killer weapon, you just need to wait for the time to pass slowly, and you don't need to waste some unjust money at all.
As a result, the board of directors finally decided that all Hasbro stores across the country would be closed for half a month.
After half a month, the surging public opinion should also calm down, and the anger in people's hearts will be almost vented.
I have to admit that Hasbro's board of directors is really witty, and in the end, Medea can only watch these directors eat and play in the high-end club after the board meeting, and call a team of models and beauties to accompany them, and the small days are not too pleasant.
It's as if nothing is happening outside.
"It's over! Hasbro is over! Medea lamented, and suddenly he felt that he might have made the biggest mistake of his life.
Hasbro did start to be a shrinking turtle, all business activities shrank, and all employees took a half-month holiday, and all of a sudden, the angry crowd wanted to beat Hasbro's dog head and couldn't find a target, so they could only go home stupidly, and all of a sudden, Hasbro's shrinking turtle strategy seemed to really work, after all, your fist can't fall into the air.
After that, the relevant media wanted to interview Hasbro's headquarters, and all of them were closed, Hasbro didn't make an announcement, didn't say a word, and all the workers in the headquarters went home on vacation, leaving the security guards with machine guns, guarding the gate of the headquarters, and no one was allowed to enter, so that these reporters, who can be called the uncrowned king, are also quite helpless.
And Jia Yapeng, who received the news, was also shocked, the top management of Hasbro is really a genius, this kind of inaction is simply the essence of Chinese Taoist culture, and I really want to applaud to celebrate.
"It's just that if you want to pretend to be a turtle, then you might as well pretend to be thorough, why do you still have a turtle tail outside?" Boss Jia showed a cruel smile, "Okay, Lao Tzu has been wronged, you shopping malls and stores are also accomplices, besides, you are all the capital and people of the United States, and I don't feel guilty if I lose it, so don't worry about me Jia being vicious!" ”
That night, a series of orders were sent to some people.
