After breakfast, I took Xiaoman to the clothing city.
After arriving at the company, I asked Gao Sheng about the handling of the last sewage incident.
Gao Sheng told me that everything has been basically settled now, and all compensation to the villagers has been paid, but this matter still caused a wave of waves.
When Gao Sheng talked about this matter, he sighed and said: "Boss, you don't know. Some bad media have seized on this matter and exaggerated it and spread rumors on the Internet. In the past two days, they have received several calls from partners.
Call us and ask us about the real situation... If this matter is not resolved well, I'm afraid it will affect the company's future profits!"
After I listened carefully, I was silent for a while and then asked him: "What is the status of the rumors on the Internet now?"
Gao Sheng waved his hand helplessly: "There are all kinds of things. Some say that we don't want to lose face for the sake of efficiency, and some say that we brag about being a domestic luxury brand on the surface, but in fact we are just trying to punish our own people... even
Some of them directly cursed."
When I did this, I thought about the consequences, so when I heard Gao Sheng say this, I didn't panic at all.
After another moment of silence, I asked Gao Sheng again: "When did it start? Did you respond?"
"Just starting yesterday, we have already held two meetings regarding this emergency and plan to ask a public relations company to solve it."
I raised my hand and said to Gao Sheng: "Don't ask any public relations company to solve this matter. This can only solve the immediate problem."
Gao Sheng frowned and said, "What if we don't hire a public relations company and let these things continue to ferment online? Isn't that not good?"
"Do you know the specific situation of the village affected by the sewage?"
Gao Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't really know."
I smiled and said: "I know. Before I founded this clothing city, I went to learn about the surrounding situation. The village is called Nile Village. It is not big. There are probably more than 20 households living in it. The geography of this village
The location is not very good. Although it is close to the city, it has not been developed.”
After a pause, I continued: "According to what I originally understood, Nile Village has not yet received tap water and natural gas. Their entire village uses water from the well at the entrance of the village."
When Gao Sheng heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly, and he took a breath and said, "In that case, we will cause a lot of trouble for people this time! The whole village shares a well, and now people have a drinking water source.
It’s all ruined!”
"Yes, so now you know why they are so excited, right?"
Gao Sheng nodded with a look of embarrassment, then sighed and said, "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let those companies use our network, so that we wouldn't have..."
I smiled again and said, "This does not solve the problem. In fact, the root of the problem lies in the sewage system of the entire garment city. This is the problem that needs to be solved."
"Well, Dajiang has teamed up with the bosses of other companies to file a joint report. If the management committee doesn't give an answer on this matter, we will definitely continue to appeal."
"So, what I meant before was that if this matter is going to cause trouble, make it bigger. The city government knows that this is the best way."
Gao Sheng looked at me again with a puzzled look on his face and said, "But boss, if this happens, our brand reputation will definitely be affected?"
"Don't worry, let the bullet fly for a while."
"What do you mean?"
"I told you before to build running water for Nile Village. Have you done this yet?"
Gao Sheng nodded and said, "I have already made arrangements."
"You can call me now and ask how the progress is going?"
Gao Sheng then took out his cell phone, dialed a number, and asked the other party: "Xiao Wei, how is the progress of the thing I asked you to do before?"
After Gao Sheng asked, he immediately said to me: "They said they have found a contractor and are currently planning."
"Ask him to speed up the process, even if he has to work overtime, and try to get it done within three days."
So Gao Sheng relayed my words to the person on the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Sheng said to me: "Boss, do you want to use this incident to quell the online abuse?"
"Well, we admit when we are wrong, but there are many ways to admit mistakes. Let netizens weigh what is right and wrong."
After realizing it, Gao Sheng suddenly laughed, gave me a thumbs up and said, "Boss, you are the one with the trick! Your public relations method is more effective than any public relations article."
"In fact, the so-called public relations is just a situation. What is more important is that we let the public know how we will do it, rather than how to explain or quibble."
"I understand, but what if we provide running water to Nile Village and someone says that we deliberately want to change the subject?"
"Let him say it. Anyway, the pressure has been given to the leaders above. We just need to do our part."
"That's okay." Gao Sheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Then he asked me about An Lan and me.
"Boss, why didn't you bring your sister-in-law back with you?"
Thinking of what An Lan was going through, my heart tightened, because in fact I was not confident that I could raise so much money in half a year.
If I can't come up with 500 million euros in six months, what should I do?
Seeing my silence, Gao Sheng said to me again: "Is something wrong?"
I nodded lightly: "There is something wrong, she can't come back yet."
"What's the matter?"
I sighed and said: "Jiahua Group has a serious financial crisis. As the legal representative, An Lan has to bear these risks and responsibilities, so she won't be able to leave for a while."
Gao Sheng seemed to have remembered something, and then said: "I remember seeing a piece of news not long ago, saying that a bank in Europe had suspended all the financial affairs of K. Wah Group. I didn't take it to heart at the time, thinking that a company as big as K. Wah Group
, you will not be limited by the restrictions of one bank at all... What? Could something really happen?"
I shrugged and said, "Actually, since the death of An Lan's father, the entire Jiahua Group has fallen apart. The reason why it still exists now is entirely because of the foundation laid by the Jiahua Group over the past few decades... But over the years, various
Trapped in such debts and coupled with internal corruption, it has evolved into the current situation."
"How much foreign debt do we owe? If it doesn't work out, let's use part of the funds to help her pay it off and let my sister-in-law come back."
I shook my head and said with a bitter smile: "It's useless, even if I sell all the Yalan clothing, it won't work."
Gao Sheng exclaimed in shock: "Isn't it right? This... how much is owed?"
"Five billion..."
Before I finished speaking, Gao Sheng was immediately surprised: "Oh my god! Why are there so many?"
"Is 500 million okay? At worst, we have to sell our company. As long as we can bring my sister-in-law back, at worst, we can make a comeback."
