Chapter 399: Being Hooked on the Internet (4000)
"Oh no, Mr. Zhang, there are a lot of posts online that slander our company."
Just when Zhang Qiyuan was chatting with Luo Gang and others, Yang Hao called.
"What are you blackmailing us for?"
"They said we deceived customers into buying houses in Qianshan, deceived customers into giving us commissions, and then didn't give us a penny. They also said we sold customers leaky houses." Yang Hao said anxiously on the phone.
"I'll go back to the company right away." Zhang Qiyuan said seriously.
"what's the situation?"
Seeing Zhang Qiyuan's serious expression, Luo Gang couldn't help but ask.
"Now there are suddenly a lot of posts on Xiaohongshu that slander our company. I guess someone wants to mess with our Qijia Real Estate." Zhang Qiyuan said.
"Do you know who it is?"
"Uh... this... well... this is not clear..."
Zhang Qiyuan thought about it carefully, then said vaguely.
It is possible that he is someone from Beike. After all, Qijia Real Estate is developing very rapidly now, so it is normal for Beike to want to deal with him.
It could also be Xiao Yueyue. He hit Xiao Yueyue some time ago, and it was probably his revenge.
It could also be Zhou Qing. After all, the development of Zhou Qing’s company to its current level has a lot to do with him.
After doing the math, he realized that he seemed to have offended quite a few people without realizing it.
"You have to handle this matter properly." Luo Gang's expression also became serious.
This matter must be handled properly. The Shang family had been in this situation because of this kind of thing. If Zhang Qiyuan fails to handle this matter properly, then their Qijia Real Estate may very likely become the next Shang family.
"I know this. I'll go back to headquarters and see what's going on."
After saying hello to Luo Gang and the others, Zhang Qiyuan rushed back to the company headquarters.
As soon as he returned to the company, Zhang Qiyuan saw that Zhang Yi, Ao Fei and Yang Hao all had serious expressions.
"Which platforms have posts that slander our company now?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
“They are all on Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Video Account, and Toutiao.” Yang Hao said quickly.
"Where are those posts? Let me take a look."
“I’ve taken screenshots of them all.”
"Then go directly to the meeting room."
Zhang Qiyuan rushed to the conference room and asked Yang Hao to use the projector to send out the photos he had taken.
"This is a post on Xiaohongshu that blackmailed our company into giving clients commissions, but the clients didn't get any money." Yang Hao posted a screenshot of a Xiaohongshu post.
Zhang Qiyuan frowned when he saw the screenshot and said, "Isn't this from Wang Guohui's store? And looking at the time when the blogger posted the screenshot, he should have been at Shang's house at that time, right?"
"Yes, but this client recently asked the agent at Wang Guohui's store for a commission rebate, but was blocked. Later, I don't know how they found out that he is now at Qijia Real Estate, and they even took a photo of his current business card. Then it became that Qijia Real Estate does not offer commission rebates." Ao Fei said solemnly.
Hearing this, Zhang Qiyuan was speechless. Although he had always taken advantage of the Shang family before, he had never thought of asking for the commission he was owed as well.
"It's obvious that someone is messing with our company. They are confusing people in order to discredit us. After all, people on the Internet only believe what they see. First of all, the broker matches, and then the business card shows that we are from Qijia Real Estate. Netizens naturally think that it is Qijia Real Estate that does not give us any commission." Zhang Yi said.
Zhang Qiyuan frowned and asked, "What about the other person who said we sell leaky houses?"
Yang Hao quickly clicked on another screenshot and enlarged it for Zhang Qiyuan to see.
"Unscrupulous real estate agent, QiX Real Estate, specializes in selling leaky houses."
When Zhang Qiyuan saw the title, his eyes twitched, but he continued reading.
The general meaning of the post is that he bought a house from a broker named Wang from Qijia Real Estate because he trusted the broker. The broker promised that the house would not leak, but after the purchase, he found that the house had many leaks, but he had no way to complain because the people from Qijia Real Estate did not care at all.
Also attached were two photos, one of which was a photo of the location where the house was leaking, and the other was a photo of the agency contract with the official seal of Qijia Real Estate.
When Zhang Qiyuan saw the photo of the house, he immediately felt that it looked familiar.
After thinking about it carefully, he remembered.
"Isn't this the house that was sold to Yao Jun?" Zhang Qiyuan said.
"Ah? Mr. Zhang, was this leaky house really sold by our company?" Zhang Yi and Ao Fei were stunned. They had previously thought that it was just a fabricated story on the Internet to discredit their company, but they didn't expect it to be true.
"This house is leaking. We told the customer about it and it was clearly written in the contract. This person didn't send out the entire contract, but only sent out a photo of the leak and a photo of our company's brokerage contract, in order to mislead netizens and say that our company sells leaking houses." Zhang Qiyuan looked unhappy.
Obviously, only the client himself can take this kind of photo.
"Do these posts have a big impact on our company now?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
“Sir, there are posts like this on every platform now, and some Shell agents have also forwarded them. Many people who don’t know the truth are saying that our company is unethical.” Yang Hao said.
Zhang Qiyuan never thought that his company would be exposed online one day.
This made him a little annoyed, and both posts were talking about QiX Real Estate. Although his company's name was not directly mentioned, any customer who wanted to buy a house in Seoul could tell at a glance that it was their Qijia Real Estate.
MLGB!
Zhang Qiyuan couldn't help but swear in his heart.
"Just call the police directly." Zhang Qiyuan thought for a moment and said.
"Call the police?"
"That's right, call the police directly. No matter how much we explain, it won't be as fast as the spread of these posts. Moreover, these posts have already had a great impact on our company's reputation. The only way is to call the police."
At this point, Zhang Qiyuan said calmly: "Since someone wants to mess with me, I will let him mess with me a little bigger, so that the police can help find out who is messing with me."
"Yang Hao, write down all the IDs of those who spread these posts online, especially those from Shell. Don't let any of them go." Zhang Qiyuan said.
"Ok."
"Then Mr. Zhang, I really called the police." Ao Fei confirmed with Zhang Qiyuan again.
"Ah."
Seeing that Zhang Qiyuan insisted on calling the police, Ao Fei immediately dialed the number.
After Ao Fei called the police, Zhang Qiyuan said to Ao Fei: "Make a copy of the franchise agreement signed by Wang Guohui and others, and sort out the receipts for our commission rebates." "Okay."
Then Zhang Qiyuan called Wang Yong again and asked him to deliver the agency contract signed by Yao Jun to the Xingcheng Jingyuan store.
When Yao Jun signed the contract, his headquarters had not yet been established, so the contracts were all kept at the stores.
"What's wrong? Why do you need a contract?" Wang Yong asked.
"There are suddenly a lot of posts on the Internet that slander our company. This contract is evidence. Please send it over as soon as possible." Zhang Qiyuan said anxiously.
Hearing Zhang Qiyuan's anxious tone, Wang Yong did not dare to delay. After hanging up the phone, he rummaged through the company's filing cabinet and soon found the contract No. 4-1-3301 of Blue Sky International signed by Yao Jun. Then he drove Zhang Qiyuan's old car and rushed to the headquarters.
As soon as Wang Yong arrived at the company, the police came.
"Did you call the police?" asked a middle-aged policeman.
"Yes, uncle police, we were the ones who called the police." Zhang Qiyuan said quickly.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Qiyuan quickly began to explain the situation.
"It's like this. My name is Zhang Qiyuan, and I'm the boss of Qijia Real Estate. I responded to the government's policy of encouraging college students to start their own businesses, and used all my family's savings to create this company. Under my management, the company is thriving, but just today, we found a lot of rumors and slanderous posts on the Internet about our company, which has had an extremely bad impact on our company's reputation..."
Zhang Qiyuan spoke with tears in his eyes, and it was as tragic as it could be.
"Any evidence?" the police asked.
"Yes, Yang Hao, find all those posts and show them to the police." Zhang Qiyuan ordered.
Yang Hao took out his phone, found the posts he had saved, handed them to the police and said, "These are the evidence of the rumors about our company."
The policeman took the phone and looked at it carefully, then said, "It seems to be talking about QiX Real Estate, but it doesn't necessarily mean you."
"Uncle policeman, please look at this post. There is a business card on this post with the name and logo of our Qijia Real Estate on it. Moreover, we are the only real estate agency in Seoul that starts with "Qi." Zhang Qiyuan said.
"Is what's said here true?" the police asked after reading the post.
"of course not."
Zhang Qiyuan said quickly: "First of all, regarding the commission rebate mentioned in the first post, this broker was not a member of our Qijia Real Estate in May. This is the franchise agreement signed by their store, so the time does not match."
"The second post said that our company sold him a leaky house. But before signing the contract, we had repeatedly told the customer that the house had leaks. This was the intermediary contract signed at the time. In the supplementary terms, it was clearly stated that the house had leaks."
Zhang Qiyuan handed the police a copy of the franchise agreement of Wang Guohui's store and the agency contract signed by Yao Jun.
The police looked at it carefully and found that just as Zhang Qiyuan said, someone had indeed distorted the facts and maliciously spread rumors.
"These posts suddenly appeared online today, and many accounts were posting them. I think someone is deliberately spreading rumors and slandering us, so I hope that a case can be filed as soon as possible to find out who is behind this," Zhang Qiyuan said.
"Okay, take these things with you and go to the police station with us to make a statement."
"Ok."
Zhang Qiyuan immediately took the materials in his hand and followed the police to the police station to take a statement.
"Okay, we have understood the general situation. After review, we will decide whether to issue a 'Decision to Open a Case'. You just need to go back and wait for news. We will contact you later." said the policeman who was taking Zhang Qiyuan's statement.
"Ok."
After Zhang Qiyuan left the police station, he found that Luo Gang, Ni Qingqing and Qu Feng had all sent him messages asking about the progress of the matter.
After Zhang Qiyuan told them, he returned to the headquarters.
"Yang Hao, prepare for the live broadcast."
Zhang Qiyuan looked at the time. It was almost five o'clock, so it was a good time to go on a live broadcast to explain.
Soon, Zhang Qiyuan started the live broadcast.
Before Zhang Qiyuan could say anything, the live broadcast room started to be filled with comments.
[This anchor looks decent, but he is so black-hearted. He cheated clients into giving him commissions, but he didn't give them a penny. He also blocked them and sold them leaky houses. He is really a black agent. ]
[Yes, I thought it was a conscientious agent, but it turned out to be an unscrupulous one. ]
[When buying a house, you should choose a big brand. Small brands are not reliable at all and have no guarantee at all. ]
[The brokers in the car and boat shops should be killed even if they are innocent. This broker is referring to the broker.]
Zhang Qiyuan was surprised to find that his popularity today was much higher than before. It seemed that many people came here specifically to scold him.
"Assistant, please write down all the IDs of those who spread rumors first, and then we will hold them accountable for their legal responsibilities one by one." Zhang Qiyuan glanced at the comments and said to Yang Hao.
[Spread rumors? They have proven it. The agent who blocked the client is from your company, right? The leaky house was signed by your company, right?]
[That's right, the evidence is right in front of you, but you still accuse others of spreading rumors. ]
[A dead duck is still stubborn. 】
[This kind of intermediary should be banned. How can he still live stream? Report his live streaming room. ]
Seeing such a strong barrage of anger, Zhang Qiyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "The Internet is not a lawless place. Whether online or offline, any illegal behavior will be punished by law. Some people only saw some people's out-of-context quotations and spread rumors here. Since you say it has been confirmed, I have to discuss it with you."
At this point, Zhang Qiyuan released the picture of the first post that Yang Hao had intercepted before.
"First of all, the first post said that it only released a business card of our Qijia Real Estate Donghu City store. It did not say that Qijia Real Estate did not give back commissions. Why? Because he did not dare to say it. If he did, it would be a rumor and slander. The author of this post is deliberately leading you to think about our Qijia Real Estate."
"First of all, let's take a look at the first screenshot in this post. It is a record of the conversation between this client and this agent in May. That is to say, this client bought a house with this agent in May, but..."
At this point, Zhang Qiyuan released a photo of Wang Guohui's franchise agreement to join their Qijia Real Estate.
"But the Donghu City store only joined our Qijia Real Estate in November, which means that this broker was not an employee of our Qijia Real Estate before November. So the question is, what does the commission rebate promised by this broker in May have to do with our Qijia Real Estate?" Zhang Qiyuan said lightly.
When Zhang Qiyuan's evidence was presented, the barrage was suddenly speechless.
Zhang Qiyuan continued, "And our Qijia Real Estate will definitely return the commission as soon as possible. I also have the certificate of our company's commission return here, you can take a look."
As he spoke, Zhang Qiyuan sent out a screenshot of the commission rebate voucher from Qijia Real Estate that Ao Fei had compiled.
