Chapter 317 Ah, is this a big thing that can be accomplished with just three performance cards?
South Korea, Yameng Beauty.
At the weekly executive meeting, the atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat low.
Of course, everyone knows about the recent rumors on the Internet.
Cyber violence in South Korea is much more serious than in China. Almost every year, there are several celebrities and internet celebrities who commit suicide due to cyber violence.
Not only is cyber violence rampant, but Korean netizens are also very experienced in boycotts and protests.
Many topics about boycotting and refusing to buy their company's products have been launched online, and there are even posts saying to go to the Blue House to petition and ban their company.
These undoubtedly made everyone feel a lot of pressure.
If it were before, everyone would definitely come out and criticize Han Huiyuan for this decision.
Especially Shin Sung-min, the executive who had previously fallen out with Han Hye-won, he was going to ask the president to fire this harmful star-chasing executive.
But after watching the program videos that Han Hye-won brought out, even Shin Sung-min had to say that he might have somewhat misunderstood Director Han.
That Chinese star is indeed very outstanding. Once the program is broadcast, it will most likely cause widespread discussion. Inviting him to be the spokesperson, even if it is just to promote the popularity, will not be considered a loss.
Director Han might really be like him, a loyal servant who is devoted to the company and never abuses his power for personal gain.
But having said that, the popularity online can't help but make people worry. What if people still don't buy into the show after it's aired?
Or what if the impression has already been fixed and the broadcast of the program is affected by the current impression?
The executives had no intention of talking at this time. They just waited for the president to come over while glancing at Han Huiyuan, observing the expression of her as the instigator.
Then after waiting for a while, the company president finally arrived.
What made everyone a little confused was that these executives couldn't help but worry, but the president who came in seemed quite happy?
Not only did he have a smile on his face, but even his usually slow steps seemed to be quite vigorous?
A trace of doubt flashed through everyone's mind.
Then soon they became even more confused.
After the president came to the main seat, he didn't even wait to sit down, but praised Han Huiyuan with a smile on his face, "Director Han made a very good decision to hire a new spokesperson this time. That's it. The company's growth is in trouble, and everyone must boldly innovate and seek change."
Ok?
Even Han Huiyuan couldn't help but be stunned.
She naturally felt that her decision was brilliant and bold, but now the results were not yet apparent, were they?
Logically speaking, we are still in the stage of creating contrast.
How come the old president, who had called her several times yesterday to inquire about her situation and couldn't hide his concern, suddenly started praising her?
Pure minister Shin Sungmin couldn't help but ask directly, "President, is there something going on?"
"Correct."
The president waved with a smile, "Everyone, please take a look at the store data collected by the marketing department. Yesterday, sales in our stores across the country began to surge. And not only did the store sales surge, but various agency channels also reported a significant sales growth rate. In many places, the goods were directly sold out."
Sales surge?
Everyone, including Han Huiyuan, was stunned.
How could the store sales, which were doing well, suddenly increase?
They haven't done anything recently. The only thing they did was to invite Wu Mu to be their spokesperson.
But Wu Mu’s show hasn’t even been aired yet, and he’s still being scolded online.
The internet is now filled with voices calling for a boycott and refusal to buy their company's products.
Even the overseas product line that they asked Wu Mu to focus on has not been announced yet. They are also waiting for the program to be broadcast before launching it. They can't even talk about overseas sales. They only have domestic sales channels now.
In this case, how did their sales skyrocket?
When the statistical report from the marketing department came down, everyone immediately opened it to take a look.
"Axi!"
What the hell!
What a surge!
According to the statistics in the report, their sales in various stores and channels increased by a rough estimate of nearly 20 billion won yesterday!
Equivalent to more than 10 million RMB! ?
Increased sales by 20 billion won in one day?
how did you do that?
Shen Chengmin couldn't help but ask the president above, "President, does this have anything to do with that Chinese celebrity?"
The only thing they have done recently is to invite that Chinese celebrity.
The president smiled and said, "It's because of that Chinese celebrity. According to the store report, most of the people who came to our store to buy products yesterday spoke Chinese. They were purchasing agents from China. They bought the products on behalf of users who placed orders from China. Some of them even bought a lot of products to stock up without waiting for the orders from people in China."
"We contacted them specifically to ask, and they said that Wu Gou, oh, that Chinese celebrity endorsed product, always sells very well when it's newly launched, so you won't lose money if you buy more."
Everyone in the conference room's pupils trembled instantly.
Purchasing agent for Chinese users?
So scary?
That Chinese star is so popular in their country?
They can buy things worth nearly 20 billion won a day through purchasing agents, even though they can’t buy them in their own country! ?
Han Huiyuan was also shocked.
This... Why did she suddenly feel like she had framed Wu Mu's Chinese fans?
They, the Korean Wu Mu fans, have always said that Chinese fans are not worthy of being Wu Mu's fans.
As a result, such a terrifying single-day sales volume can be achieved across countries.
This is clearly love!!
But why are they all working so hard to boost sales across borders, but no one on the Internet is speaking up for Brother Wu Mu?
Han Huiyuan was in shock and confusion.
And it’s not over yet.
"In addition to those purchasing agents in China, according to our statistics, sales in various channels also accounted for about 20% of the growth. These are the purchase data of our local Korean users. Purchasing agents tend to buy in our official stores, while local users will buy in various sales channels."
The number of local users has also increased! ?
What the hell is going on?
Hasn’t the show aired yet?
They just released some new endorsement promotional materials, how can this also mean growth?
It's impossible that people will pay for it just because of that face, right?
The executives in the conference room all looked confused.
People are cursing on the internet, and they are still waiting for the show to be aired before a reversal.
As a result, the sales now tell them that they don’t need to wait for the show to be broadcast, they can sell out the goods just by inviting this person with his face?
"Just cashed out 10 million?"
Wu Mu looked at the number sent by Han Huiyuan from her private account and shook his head slightly. Why was it so little? He had clearly used three performance cards and only cashed in one third of it.
This program will be aired the day after tomorrow. We won't really wait until the program is aired before fulfilling our promise, right?
After muttering to himself, he didn't care. He declined Han Huiyuan's invitation to dinner and continued playing games. Well, play for a while. I have to go learn the language later.
"Go ahead, sir!"
Kyunghyang Ilbo reporter Lee Byung-hyun said while gritting his teeth as he looked across at his old classmate and friend Choi Seung-ji.
Cui Chengzhi was quite calm. He just looked at the computer screen in front of him calmly, sliding the scroll wheel on the mouse from time to time, without answering.
Li Bingxian became more and more anxious. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If we release this information normally, it may be quickly blocked by those people and the news will not spread. But now this Chinese star is very popular and everyone is paying attention to him. We can use his popularity to expose the news, and it will be difficult for them to suppress it!"
He has been preparing for this for three years. He has been waiting for such an opportunity for too long. He doesn't know how long he will have to wait for the next opportunity if he misses this one, and how many people will be harmed.
What made him take this matter so seriously was a phone report he received three years ago, in which a girl called him crying and said that she had been assaulted in a bar.
He was just an intern at the time, and with a strong sense of justice, he immediately contacted the police to investigate, but at that time he thought it was just an ordinary crime case.
Until the bar secretly scoured for pretty girls as prey, the assaulted girl called the police but was threatened by the police instead, the posts exposed online were deleted, a celebrity company was one of the investors of this bar, several celebrities in the entertainment industry were suspected of being involved in the incident, and the prey girl was suspected of meeting a local council member while she was unconscious.
This is a huge scandal involving the public, the entertainment industry, and politics!
A certain celebrity company is using this channel to find girls and provide them to politicians as playthings!
After finding out the truth of the matter and obtaining the key evidence, he has been waiting for the opportunity to make the evidence public.
He knew that if he blindly exposed the matter, even as a reporter for Kyunghyang Ilbo, he would be threatened and his post would be deleted, just like the victims who had been exposed.
So he has been waiting for an opportunity to expose the matter and let everyone know about it in a short period of time.
And now, there is such an opportunity. The Chinese celebrity is in the spotlight because of the shady dealings of a popular TV show and is being scolded by everyone on the Internet.
One of the important reasons why he was scolded was that he had called Lee Jung-hoon a bastard in public before. Lee Jung-hoon's company was the company hidden behind the scenes. Among the celebrities they found who were involved in this incident, one was a good friend of Lee Jung-hoon.
Taking this opportunity to expose the matter, it will surely attract attention quickly.
Li Bingxian was very anxious, but his old prosecutor friend, who was deeply involved in the matter and provided various secret investigations, was still looking at the screen in front of him calmly.
On the screen in front of him was the page of Theqoo forum.
This is a well-known forum in South Korea. Its biggest feature is that all comments are anonymous.
Compared to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc., which are also very popular in South Korea, he prefers to use this anonymous software.
Because anonymity can sometimes reflect more realistic public opinion.
For example, the post on the screen in front of him that was related to the Chinese celebrity Wu Mu.
[You little bastard Wu Mu, go die soon. ]
In the past few days, there have been many posts about Wu Mu on Twitter and Instagram, but due to the community rules, the comments are relatively civilized.
But this kind of anonymous forum is a bit blatant.
"You bastards, Chinese people, get out of Korea."
"The only people who like this kind of bastard are just x-dog fans."
"It's really disgusting. Is a Chinese person qualified to be on our show?"
"It's disgusting to see his face."
On apps like Twitter, people curse that Chinese star and pretend to do so based on what he has done and his dark side.
But in places like this, there is no way to hide the fact that this person’s biggest black spot is actually his nationality.
Is a Chinese star worthy of coming to Korea?
He is so handsome, and he wants to steal girls from their country?
In fact, Choi Seung-ji doesn't like it either. As a homosexual, he naturally has a resistance to foreign idols who come to his country to make money.
but.
Cui Chengzhi closed the forum page, looked at his old friend in front of him, and said with a smile, "Bingxian, I have already posted the post. This is what I, as a prosecutor, should do. You don't need to get involved from now on."
He paused, then smiled and said, "If I die, for the sake of our old friend, please help me take good care of my daughter."
The scandal surrounding Wu Mu's program continued to ferment on the Korean Internet, and there was a wave of attacks on the Korean Internet.
Then at this moment, a new post appeared on an anonymous forum.
[In fact, what the Chinese celebrity said was right. Lee Jung-hoon might really be a bastard.]
As soon as this post was published, Korean netizens who saw it became furious.
Bold!
Who dared to run out and go against everyone when everyone was scolding? ?
Korean netizens initially thought that it was done by the Chinese star’s stupid fans.
But after clicking in and taking a look.
"You bastard Lee Jung-hoon!!"
"Li Zhengxun, you are worse than that bastard from China!"
There was an uproar on the forum.
The post went viral quickly.
Although the forum quickly deleted the "rumor" post.
But Wu Mu was already very popular at the time, and this post was seen by a lot of netizens who attacked Wu Mu in a very short period of time.
The evidence in the post has been saved by many passers-by and spread to other places.
The heat exploded instantly.
If this matter was previously limited to one star, Wu Mu, and one program, the situation is completely different now.
Compared to this big scandal, the dark side of a celebrity is nothing!
This scandal instantly topped the hot lists of all social media apps in South Korea.
Although the focus will no longer include morning wood at this time, the detailed introductions under many topics will include morning wood to explain the cause of the matter.
When Wu Mu saw the number one hot search topic on Weibo in China, #Wu Mu was scolded which led to a big Korean scandal#, he was stunned for a moment.
What the hell?
How did he inexplicably lead to some big Korean scandal?
He looked at his system panel in a daze. The performance card that had quietly shown that he had completed the payment was a bit strange.
Don't tell me that this was caused by the performance card.
This is what can be done with three performance cards! ?
Just for 30 million, such an exaggerated thing was revealed. Isn't this just using a cannon to kill a mosquito? ?
There's something wrong with the system.
