The Joy City project took almost two years from finalization to completion and opening. Feng Group has been in turmoil in the past two years.
The coaching change during the period of rapid development, coupled with two successive layoffs, caused panic in the entire company, especially the failure of the last two investments, which greatly reduced Feng Shirong's little established prestige.
But the most famous one is the one with a sweet theme that opened in front of the Fung Group.
Ordinary employees didn't care much about investment failures, but they were very interested in the "evil stepmother"'s melons, so the news spread further and further.
Sometimes rumors with a family ethics nature are more dangerous than the real crisis of the company. Feng began to have an image of dishonesty and struggled in various projects.
Even if Feng Shirong asked Duan Ying to leave the company, he still couldn't stop everyone from talking.
Because every morning and evening when going to work, people in the company would always meet the "evil stepmother" theme Xitian, and over time, even the dogs passing by would chat.
Some partners knew about the rumors, but they still pretended to be ignorant and pointed at Xitian to ask what was going on.
During this period of time, Feng Shirong has kept a low profile, without explanation, and patiently waiting for the opening of Joy City.
For him, the Fung Group's new project is an opportunity to prove his ability.
People who are strong themselves don't need to pay attention to scandals.
On Friday in mid-September, Feng's senior management, shareholder representatives, regional leaders and Joy City brand owners went to Kyoto together.
They were all wearing suits and ties, and some were accompanied by bodyguards. A group of people poured into the hotel's conference room and held a pre-opening discussion.
"How are the marketing activities planned for the next two days?"
"On Saturday and Sunday, we arranged an overall marketing campaign, four targeted small-scale special events, and invited an idol group to help out."
"What about advertising?"
"We bought the most prime time for local online advertising in Kyoto. In addition, promotional posters were also distributed through various offline channels."
After listening, Feng Shirong nodded slightly. After sorting out the process, he felt that this matter was basically foolproof.
With the help of weekend traffic and early advertising, Jiuxiang should no longer be afraid of deep alleys.
He stood in front of the huge three-story glass window with his hands in his pockets, looking out at the roads extending in all directions and the residential area for sale on the left, and took a deep breath.
Tomorrow, the whole street will be congested for Joy City.
After the discussion, Joy City held an opening ribbon-cutting ceremony in the square at the gate, with many media present.
Representatives of Fung Group and cooperating brands took the stage together, with colorful flags flying and shutters clicking continuously.
Feng Shirong stood in front of the stage in a suit and tie, calm and resolute, very much like an entrepreneur in TV dramas.
But the one who attracted the most attention was another elegant woman, Duan Ying standing next to Feng Shirong.
At that time, she was dressed elegantly and elegantly. She walked from the backstage to the front of the stage, picked up a pair of scissors, and actually participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. It was really surprising.
You know, Duan Ying has not shown up for a long time because the Feng Group was deeply involved in public opinion controversy some time ago. Now that she is standing at such an important event, it is hard not to be surprised.
This is the protagonist in the "evil stepmother" scandal. He left Feng's family in a low-key manner and now appears in a high-profile ribbon-cutting ceremony, which seems to represent a certain attitude.
"Where's Andy?"
"The nanny watched and fell asleep in the hotel, but he was clamoring to go out to play."
"I've been busy for so long and I'm tired. Let's wait until Monday. After Joy City wakes up, I will free up three days to take you out to play."
As Feng Shirong spoke, he used the scissors in his hand to cut the red silk in front of him with slight force.
Many people may think that Duan Ying suddenly left the company last year because the "evil stepmother" incident was exposed, but for commercial purposes, it was just a means to quell external rumors and a strategy to reverse the unhealthy trend of the company.
It's like if a company is involved in an employee scandal, it would just assign him a temporary worker status and then fire him.
However, it is impossible for Feng Shirong to keep Duan Ying from showing up.
Because if Duan Ying is really not allowed to show up, the rumors of the so-called "evil stepmother" will be confirmed, and everyone will feel that he, Feng Shirong, has indeed handled family relations poorly.
This situation had the greatest negative impact on Feng, and Feng Shirong's prestige in the company could no longer be maintained.
Therefore, in a situation that he can control, he wants to increase Duan Ying's exposure and convey that the scandals are nonsense to re-establish his image.
Some companies refuse to admit their mistakes, but that's just the way it is. People don't care about the truth, but prefer to add insult to injury.
At this time, he dared to let Duan Ying appear because the media at the scene were all invited by him with money, and they knew what to ask and what not to ask.
Duan Ying was also very elegant at this moment, her temperament as that of a wealthy lady was clearly displayed, and she did not feel embarrassed at all being besieged by public opinion.
No matter how many scandals there are, it doesn't matter if you open a milk tea shop in front of Feng's. Do you really think it will affect me? Sorry, I will still attend such an important event in a high-profile manner without any influence at all.
"Mr. Feng, what is the opening target of Joy City?"
"I can't estimate this, but I hope it can surpass the best results of all comprehensive shopping malls in this area."
Feng Shirong smiled slightly and pointed his sword at the public square.
Because currently there are only two large comprehensive shopping malls in this area: Joy City and Wanzhong.
“What is the future development direction of Joy City?”
"Joy City hopes to collect rent from well-known brands around the world and build the most popular comprehensive shopping mall in the country."
"So where will Joy City's next project be located? Will it be in Shanghai?"
"We have this plan and welcome major brands to cooperate with Joy City."
Feng Shirong answered the question, and with a glance, he noticed that a microphone had quietly left the team of reporters: "Mrs. Feng, today is a happy day. As Mr. Feng's good wife, can I ask you a few questions?"
Duan Ying was stunned for a moment, and then said elegantly: "Of course."
"Previously, the "Evil Stepmother" themed milk tea shop opened in front of Feng Group. Is there anything you want to say?"
"?"
"Are you afraid to say it?"
"Those are just nonsense."
"What about your relationship with Mrs. Jiang? Is it the same as the rumors?"
"This is a family matter and has nothing to do with the Joy City project. It is better for everyone to focus on our Joy City and Joy City's cooperative brands."
"The valuation of the group has surpassed Feng's at the beginning of the year. The outside world is saying that Mrs. Jiang's value is much greater than Mrs. Feng. For business purposes, will Mrs. Feng choose to apologize to Mrs. Jiang?"
"I said this is a family matter, you...which media are you from?"
The reporter wearing a windbreaker handed the microphone forward: "Mrs. Feng, we are the self-media of Tonight Toutiao, the official account of the business section. Will you apologize?"
Feng Shirong couldn't help but stood up: "Sorry, we don't answer personal questions."
"Oh, you don't dare answer personal questions."
"?"
"What about Mr. Feng, will you apologize? Have you not known anything about what Mrs. Feng did for so many years? Your daughter's worth has far surpassed yours. How do you view this issue?"
"Didn't I tell you not to answer personal questions today?"
"You don't dare to answer, but we dare to ask. Shareholders, all the hot brands under Pintuan are unwilling to cooperate with Joy City. Do you think it is related to the previous stepmother controversy?"
"Dear brand partner CEOs, are you worried that if you cooperate with Joy City, you will lose the qualification to join the group supply chain?"
Feng Shirong's expression changed, and he immediately waved to end the interview. Under the escort of bodyguards, he hurriedly left the scene with Duan Ying.
The other media reporters held their breaths, saying "Oh my God" in their hearts, but what the hell!
Those of us who get paid don’t dare to ask. It’s you self-media who are the better ones. You are like the king of hell!
"Thank you for your hard work, representatives. I have arranged the banquet. Everyone, please move on."
At this time, the delegation retreated to the interior of the mall. Not many people spoke, and the atmosphere was very strange.
Feng Shirong coughed, tried to avoid the things in front of the stage, and invited everyone to the banquet.
After the words fell, an old man on crutches came out from one of the shareholders and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Mr. Feng, I won't eat anymore, but I want to say something. If some things affect the development of the company, they still need to be dealt with properly."
"Yes, Director Chen, you are right."
"At present, Internet companies are developing rapidly. The real estate industry and the Internet industry will be more and more closely integrated. Family matters are small, but company matters are big. This involves the livelihood of many people. You should clearly distinguish the priorities, right?"
"Director Chen, I understand all this, so don't worry."
"I watched you grow up, and my father and I have a very good personal relationship, but you also know that in business, you can't get lucky. There is no way to have the best of both worlds. It depends on which one you choose. I'll start with you.
gone."
"I'll send you off."
Feng Shirong followed up and escorted Director Chen from the west gate to the parking lot.
At this time, Duan Ying, who stayed where she was, clenched her fists tightly, feeling a wave of anger mixed with resentment that was difficult to vent out.
Could it be that he could never be on the stage for the rest of his life? Could it be that he could only hide and hide for the rest of his life?
That Jiang Qin, just because his family has a big business, he runs rampant, and he doesn't even know how to respect his elders, he actually let himself lose face on such a big matter as the opening of Joy City!
Duan Ying doesn't care what the media talks about or what the outside world discusses, but the questions asked by the reporter who suddenly came out just now are really heartbreaking.
Popular brands are unwilling to cooperate with Joy City, and current brands may lose the qualification to join the group supply chain.
This is not a problem, this is a warning.
Because Tonight’s Toutiao itself is Jiang Qin’s mouthpiece!
He just wants to set the pace and let Feng's partners and shareholders know that he has influenced the development of Feng's Group, and that Director Chen just now has obviously already thought so.
