Chapter 507 Apology
On the afternoon of the second day after the live broadcast, Ma Lu was looking at the store and surfing the Internet intensively to read cool articles.
He liked every post from Tang Rijie, Magic Sea Lion and Meiping.com. He was enjoying himself when his phone suddenly rang.
Ma Lu picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was an unfamiliar number.
But this is quite normal. After all, he now owns a restaurant, and there are many calls coming in every day, either asking about the dishes, or wanting to make reservations, and seeing the huge traffic of the Universe Infinite Canteen. Talk about cooperation.
Because of the previous live broadcast, Ma Lu’s new trumpet account at Station B now has 30,000 followers. MCN company just called and wanted to sign him, but he rejected it.
Ma Lu simply hung up the call this time, but the other party was very persistent and called again half a minute later.
Ma Lu hangs up again and fights again on the opposite side.
This time Ma Lu finally connected, and a woman's voice came from the other side, "Boss Ma."
"Huh?"
"Hello, I am Zhu Chen, the marketing director of Meiping.com. You can also call me Jane. I want to talk about the live broadcast on the 16th..."
Zhu Chen was just halfway through speaking when he noticed that there was a voice coming from the other side. A busy tone occurred.
Hanged again? Zhu Chen frowned and she dialed again. This time the line was busy.
Zhu Chen waited for 3 minutes and dialed again, but the line was still busy.
On the other hand, after blocking Zhu Chen, Ma Lu continued to browse the comment area with great interest.
It can only be said that the situation is changing. Previously, netizens put the anchors who praised the Universe Infinite Canteen on the lightning protection list. Now it is the turn of the grandmothers who have attacked the Universe Infinite Canteen, such as the magical sea lion, to enjoy this treatment.
And the ghost animal area did not miss this wave of popularity. The enthusiasm for creation was high, and Tang Rijie's first batch of ghost animal videos were quickly launched online.
The most popular one is an electronic rap song called "Soul". Ma Lu shook his legs while listening to it, and he has already played it seven or eight times.
But at the next moment, the familiar voice came to his ears again.
“Boss Ma.”
Malu almost thought that as his cell phone grew older, he would be able to answer calls by himself.
It wasn't until I glanced at the mobile phone on the table that I found that the latter was still there quietly and the screen was black, and then I raised my head.
I saw a smartly dressed professional woman who was about 27 or 28 years old, wearing a suit, with short ear-length hair, standing in front of the counter.
The latter stretched out his hand to him, "Hello, Boss Ma, I am Zhu Chen who was blocked by you after hanging up the phone before."
"Hi, look at Mr. Zhu, what did you say? Yes, my phone just ran out of battery." Ma Lu was saying, but the phone screen lit up again, and it was a WeChat notification.
Malu quickly stuffed his phone back into his pocket, and then shook hands with Zhu Chen. Zhu Chen actually looked calm, as if he hadn't seen what just happened.
After shaking hands, he continued, "Boss Ma, do you have a convenient place to discuss things here?"
"No."
"…………"< br>
“Don’t get me wrong, it’s true. This is just a small restaurant, not a big company. There are no conference rooms, not even private rooms.”
"The kitchen?"
"The kitchen is Lao Wang's territory. He doesn't allow anyone except me and Youyou to go in. Mr. Zhu, just say it if you have something to say."
Zhu Chen was silent for a long time. Then he said, "Okay, I watched your live broadcast yesterday. I can understand your anger, Boss Ma, but I still want to say that the company did not know about the previous things." Zhu Chen had already done this when he said this She was prepared to be retorted or even ridiculed by Malu, but she didn't expect that it was Malu who nodded, "I know."
"Huh?"
"Your company has no grudge against me, nor is it a competitive relationship. Building my restaurant will not make your financial report look good, so I want to believe that this is just a personal behavior."
"Great. Zhu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "Before I came here, I was wondering if it would be difficult for you to speak, Boss Ma. I didn't expect the real person to be so reasonable."
"But..." Ma Lu changed the topic, "That guy is indeed." With the help of your company, I mobilized those food bloggers to attack me and my restaurant, and caused harm
"If it hadn't been for yesterday's live broadcast, and Teacher Tang's conscience found out, my business might have been damaged. This thing went from bad to worse. ”
Of course this kind of thing is impossible, but that’s how negotiations are. When calculating statistics, you must report your own losses as high as possible.
"This...is true."
Zhu Chen is very honest, maybe because Meiping.com is a big company, Zhu Chen is too lazy to argue with Ma Lu on these details.
And they were in a restaurant now, surrounded by people. From the corner of his eye, Malu saw that the diners at the two tables next to him had their ears so straight that they were almost turning into rabbits.
Zhu Chen paused and then said, "In short, I am here to discuss with Boss Ma a solution that is satisfactory to both of us."
"What do you want? What do you want me to do?”
"It's very simple. Our company hopes to clarify the truth of the matter with Boss Ma."
Ma Lu was noncommittal.
Zhu Chen said sincerely, "The management really didn't know about this matter. After receiving the news, the company launched a self-examination as soon as possible and has now found the employees involved.
< br>“But you have also seen the current public opinion on the Internet. Even if we issue an announcement, netizens will only think that we are just pushing someone to blame after the incident is exposed.
“So only if you, Boss Ma, cooperate with us and we work together can the truth be made public.”
"But if Teacher Tang hadn't jumped out and blew himself up, my restaurant had been framed, and I went to your Meiping.com to help investigate and clarify, would you have cooperated with me?" Ma Lu asked in return.
Zhu Chen was startled when he heard this. She really wanted to say yes, but she also knew how big companies behaved. She was in charge of the marketing department herself, and small restaurants like Malu came to ask for the cooperation of American critics. It is almost impossible to do public relations together.
Meipin will not launch an investigation into employees within the company just because of some baseless rumors.
So Zhu Chen could only say, "I'm sorry."
"No need to be sorry, I just want to tell you that since you have no obligation to clarify for me when my restaurant is maliciously attacked, Then neither did I.”
"I understand." Zhu Chen nodded, "I am here this time to discuss with you, Boss Ma, a solution acceptable to both of us.
"As for the consequences this matter has caused to you and your store, Our company is willing to pay 2 million yuan in compensation for the loss. ”
Ma Lu blinked his eyes, two million is not a lot, but his weekly turnover is now nearly one million, which is half the restaurant’s income.
Zhu Chen continued, “The company will also organize professionals to rate Universe Infinite Canteen in strict accordance with the standards of Meiping.com. and immediately dismiss the employees involved. "
"This is good. ”
It wasn't until he heard the last part of the sentence that Ma Lu felt a little energetic. When he thought that some people worked hard to study abroad and would no longer find their favorite jobs when they came back, Ma Lu felt happy.
Zhu Chen kept up his efforts, "I will also order him to apologize to you, Boss Ma, in person."
