Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 408: Negative Hype (Part 2)

Lu Shaohua possesses knowledge from the 21st century, so Qin Sichen naturally does not understand some of his moves. It is normal for thinking to be different due to the different times, so Qin Sichen is completely puzzled about Lu Shaohua's arrangements.

Lu Shaohua smiled, without further explanation, and went straight to the point, saying, "Boss Qin, when you meet with the reporter later, you must tell the truth, but..."

Lu Shaohua paused halfway through his words, whetting Qin Sichen's appetite before continuing. "But there are a few points that need to be emphasized. First, the matter regarding Deputy General Manager Du was entirely a personal act, and was not the idea of ​​the group."

This move is indeed telling the truth, because the deputy manager surnamed Du was indeed acting on his own, using his power to seek personal gain. At the same time, this move also has a meaning, which is to sever ties and draw a clear line.

Needless to say, even if Lu Shaohua did not confess, Qin Sichen would have said so much, because this was a way to restore the group's reputation. She, Qin Sichen, must do it, and it was the only way she could think of.

"Well, I know what to do." Qin Sichen said.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Lu Shaohua was helpless. Before he could finish his words, Qin Sichen expressed her position, so he could only interrupt her. "In addition to clearing his name from personal behavior, we must also sincerely apologize in front of the reporters and say that our group's negligence in management led to this kind of thing."

After a pause, Lu Shaohua had some experience this time, and was afraid that Qin Sichen would interrupt him again, so he did not pause for long before continuing. "In addition to a sincere apology, there is one more thing. We will return all the kickbacks we received, and promise to increase the share of cars given to the car dealership."

Lu Shaohua's actions undoubtedly benefited the thirteen car dealers. Everyone knew that Phoenix cars were in hot sales, and it was a period when I had no stock to buy. However, Phoenix Group increased its car share because its internal employees secretly took kickbacks. What kind of performance was this? Anyone with a little bit of brains knew that it was compensating the thirteen car dealers in a material form.

In order to gain a larger share of Phoenix sales, they were willing to take kickbacks. Remember, they did it voluntarily. But now, the group is making compensation for this. Not only are they returning the kickbacks they received, they are also increasing their share, making the 13 car dealerships the biggest beneficiaries.

It's human nature. After getting tangible benefits, the first feeling of the thirteen car dealership owners was that they had tasted the sweetness. As long as they had tasted the sweetness, they would not talk nonsense, thus invisibly avoiding a negative incident for the Phoenix Group.

Of course, Lu Shaohua couldn't be 100% sure that people would not talk nonsense after getting the advantage. There were many people who would act cute after getting the advantage. However, Lu Shaohua was not worried because he had sincerely apologized in the Phoenix Group, saying that it was the negligence of the top management of the Phoenix Group that led to this incident. This had invisibly shut people's mouths, so even if they wanted to talk nonsense, they wouldn't be able to find any flaws.

The problem with the car dealership was solved, but what about the people? The people did not get any benefits. They had their own mouths and could say whatever they wanted. This was something Lu Shaohua could not control.

However, Lu Shaohua was not worried at all. As the saying goes, the eyes of the masses are sharp. If Phoenix Group lowers its stance and apologizes sincerely, coupled with the personal behavior of Manager Du, it can fundamentally eliminate the public's negative view of Phoenix Group.

So, what originally seemed to be a negative news event was turned into positive news by Lu Shaohua. The fault should not have been on the Phoenix Group's side, but was an individual behavior. In the end, the Phoenix Group bravely came forward to take the responsibility and apologized. Invisibly, the image of the Phoenix Group changed.

As the saying goes, if you know you are wrong, you must have the courage to admit it. Doing what Lu Shaohua said is undoubtedly such a performance. I believe that doing so can add points to the Phoenix Group. This is also the reason why Lu Shaohua went to great lengths to expose this matter. It's hype! Let the Phoenix Group brand be more famous.

Of course, in addition to hype, Lu Shaohua will not be lenient towards those who dare to violate the group's rules and regulations, and he has also made arrangements for the punishment of the deputy general manager surnamed Du.

"That's the decision for the reporter. At the same time, we have to make one thing clear to the reporter: Phoenix Group has called the police and will prosecute the person who took the kickback." After saying that, Lu Shaohua paused and immediately added something, but this addition was directed at Li Yunqing. "Yunqing, call the police now and have them come to Phoenix Group."

"I understand." Li Yunqing had been silent all this time. As Lu Shaohua arranged everything step by step, he already knew in his heart what Lu Shaohua was going to do. So after he finished speaking, he took out the mobile phone hidden in his suit and directly dialed 999 to call the police.

Lu Shaohua and Qin Sichen had a tacit understanding. They did not speak when Li Yunqing called the police. It was not until Li Yunqing hung up the phone and indicated to the two that he had called the police that Lu Shaohua spoke again. "Well, when the police come, don't rush to ask them to take Manager Du away. We also need him to cooperate with the reporters to take a few photos."

Lu Shaohua's plan was very detailed and well-planned, and it could be said that it was foolproof. However, it made things difficult for the deputy general manager named Du. Not only did he have to bear the accusations from the public, but he also had to face the lawsuit from Phoenix Group and might even have to compensate Phoenix Group for its losses.

Lu Shaohua never thought that he was a good person. His employees were not satisfied with the high income and wanted to use the little power in their hands to gain benefits, which violated the rules and regulations formulated by the group. So why should Lu Shaohua show mercy?

"I know what to do." Li Yunqing said cheerfully. He did not sympathize with the deputy manager surnamed Du, because such a person was not worthy of sympathy, and openly violated the rules and regulations of the group. As a veteran who watched the Phoenix Group grow, Li Yunqing disdained to sympathize with such a person.

"Well, then, next step." After that, Lu Shaohua smiled and said, "Boss Qin, after the police take the man away, quickly arrange for someone to sort out the materials and file a lawsuit against him in court. Oh! One more thing, before the police take the man away, ask him how much kickbacks he received, and he must give me the amount he received, so that we can pay him back."

Lu Shaohua is a man who will not stop until he has done something. If others do not want to seek personal gain from it, he will not be polite to them. He will do what he has to do. This will not only reduce the losses of the group, but also greatly deter the internal employees who are ready to make moves.

What's even more amazing is that after Lu Shaohua finished speaking, he asked again, "Does Hong Kong have any laws against corporate reputation damage?"

"It seems so." As a native Hong Konger, Li Yunqing has more say, but he is not a professional lawyer and is not sure.

"Oh! How about this, doesn't the group have a legal advisor? Don't always keep them idle. Those who need to come forward should come forward. Anyway, wherever there is compensation to be obtained, our group cannot lose a penny." Lu Shaohua was unwilling to give up at this point. He took this opportunity to extort as much as he could, as a way to vent his anger.

"Cruel!" This was Qin Sichen's only thought. Kicked him out of Phoenix Group and let the police arrest him. This was already a very serious matter, but Lu Shaohua did not give up. He wanted to sue him and compensate for the company's reputation loss.

However, Qin Sichen did not say much, and she did not want to say anything because she herself was a person who hated evil and hated evil. She did not have any good feelings towards such people who disregarded the interests of the company for their own benefit, so she did not dislike Lu Shaohua's approach.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Qin Sichen said.

"Well, that's basically it. As for the other matters, President Qin will instruct Manager Chen to let Phoenix TV guide the discussion. Oh! I will also say hello to TVB8. They will not retaliate against our Phoenix Group in a negative way." Finally, in order to prepare Qin Sichen mentally, Lu Shaohua gave her a reassurance.

"I understand." This is not the first or second time that TVB8 has helped Phoenix Group with publicity. Qin Sichen naturally knows that Lu Shaohua has connections and doesn't doubt at all whether he is lying or not.

"Okay, now it's time to deal with other things." After a pause, Lu Shaohua's face straightened and he said, "This happened inside the group. Although only the deputy general manager named Du was found, there is no guarantee that others didn't take advantage of the group to get benefits."

After a pause, Lu Shaohua said in a very serious tone, "If you want to investigate, notify the security department and investigate all the management in the group. If you find any problems, you will be prosecuted directly. If they are minor, you will be fired and will never be hired again."

What Lu Shaohua did was undoubtedly not only reforming the company internally, but also sounding a wake-up call to people, telling them that although Phoenix Group is good, they cannot just ignore the interests of the company and pursue personal gain.

Are you kidding? The company's boss has decided to reform, so how can the executive president and the general manager of Phoenix object? The answer is obvious, Qin Sichen and Li Yunqing will not object.

"Also, the company must set up a new department." Lu Shaohua did not finish his words in one breath, but stopped halfway, glanced at Qin Sichen and Li Yunqing, and then explained. "This department is used to receive external complaints and suggestions, and at the same time, it can also be used for reporting. Oh! President Qin, this department is directly responsible to you, you just need to be in charge, and then arrange for someone to handle it."

After that, Lu Shaohua emphasized it again, "This newly established department must pay attention to it, whether it is a suggestion, complaint, or report, it must be taken seriously, especially reports. If the report is made by an internal employee of the company, it must be investigated thoroughly. If the situation is found to be true, it will be handled accordingly. As for complaints and suggestions, rectification should also be carried out in light of the situation of the group."

Lu Shaohua's decision is similar to that of the government departments, but it is undoubtedly an advanced management model and a practice of corporate management in the 21st century. Lu Shaohua simply moved it over and applied it in advance.

"Okay." Qin Sichen said.

"Well, then you guys go and get busy first." Lu Shaohua waved his hand, indicating that the two of them could leave. However, he did not leave so quickly. He sat in a chair and rested for a while before getting up and leaving, returning to his office.
