Knock, knock, knock, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
Du Qiu turned to look at the door, and secretary Wen Siqing walked in.
Wen Siqing saw Sun Hongming at the window and immediately said, "Mr. Sun is here too. I just found an article on the Internet that attacked Mr. Du."
Du Qiu was stunned for a moment and said, "Attacking me by name?"
Wen Siqing handed a document in his hand to Du Qiu and said, "I printed out the article, you can take a look."
Du Qiu took it over and when he saw the title of the article, he immediately laughed, "Oh, it's so shocking that you can't stop attacking me for plagiarism and academic fraud!"
Sun Hongming's heart trembled, and he quickly came over, got close to Du Qiu, and started to take a look.
Du Qiu read it quickly, with a sarcastic smile on his face, and said: "Secretary Wen, please notify the Legal Department and prepare to send a lawyer's letter.
I will sue this kind of self-media influencer until he is bankrupt! Do your best to contribute to the construction of our country’s legal system.”
Sun Hongming asked: "The paper mentioned in this article was published during your PhD study. The so-called plagiarism listed seems to be very detailed."
"This is his brilliance. Taken individually, these parts do look like plagiarism, but in fact, these are the words I quoted normally in the article and the source was marked."
Sun Hongming frowned and said: "Mr. Du, this kind of taking things out of context is clearly a deliberate attempt to smear him. I'm afraid this person just wants to take advantage of the opportunity of filing a lawsuit with you to become famous. Even if he loses the lawsuit, he will still be famous."
Wen Siqing said in agreement: "Yes, I saw that this article has been reprinted in many places, and its ranking on the hot search list is also rising rapidly."
"Brother Sun, it seems that some forces can't wait any longer. This is the first shot fired at us. We have to find a way to find out the real culprit behind this."
Du Qiu said, stood up and said to Wen Siqing: "Secretary Wen, go and invite Director Yuan."
After a while, Yuan Minhua rushed over.
Wen Siqing had already told her about the matter, so she hurriedly said as soon as she entered the door: "Mr. Du, we need to set up an emergency public relations team immediately to carry out all-round public relations activities on this matter to minimize the negative impact."
"Sister Yuan, do you think there is a suitable candidate within the company for the head of the public relations team?"
"The new marketing director Liu Sichen can do it. He has done crisis public relations several times in the company he worked for before, and the results were very good."
The Marketing Department is a newly established department used to regulate the market operations of various subsidiaries and product lines.
Du Qiu directly dialed Wen Siqing's landline, "Secretary Wen, tell Liu Sichen from the Marketing Department to come to my place, and also ask Lawyer Song from the Legal Department to come over."
After a while, a meeting was held in Du Qiu's office.
Sun Hongming explained the cause and effect of the incident to everyone, and then said: "You should not look at this matter in isolation.
At present, the several product lines of the entire group company are the most cutting-edge in their respective fields, but they also have extremely high cost performance. According to the company's development trend, sooner or later it will become a giant in this field.
As a latecomer to the market, we are bound to be feared by the market’s original overlords, and they will take various measures to suppress us.”
Liu Sichen is a middle-aged man who is nearly 40 years old and has rich experience in market operations. He has worked not only in foreign companies but also in private enterprises.
He has only been with Mengyuan Technology for a week and is still familiar with the products.
After listening to Sun Hongming's words, he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Sun, our product has only been launched not long ago, why do our competitors react so quickly?
And it’s such a despicable method. Isn’t it too childish to target Mr. Du like this?”
Sun Hongming shook his head and said: "Director Liu, you came late, so you may not know very well. Mr. Du is not only the founder, but also the technical leader of the company. The company's products are all designed and invented by Mr. Du.
The slander against Mr. Du is a questioning of the performance of our products. In addition, the status of the company's products in the industry determines that competitors must curb us as soon as possible.
If the company's products capture enough market share, competitors will be unable to do anything."
Du Qiu said: "Director Liu, there is another point. The company's products represent the core strength of my country's Industry 4.0. Combined with the current international situation, you should understand that there will definitely be many foreign forces who want to nip us in the bud. .”
Liu Sichen actually already understands the company's products and is amazed by the high technical level of the company's products. He is even more confident about his future market operations.
This is the most promising product he has ever run.
It's just that he hasn't immediately associated the product with Du Qiu, so he feels a little strange.
"Boss, I understand."
Sun Hongming continued: "Just understand, Director Yuan recommended you to us as the leader of the company's emergency public relations team.
Responsible for handling this incident that defamed Mr. Du's reputation, as well as all future malicious attacks or frame-ups against the company.
The general principle is to minimize the negative impact of the incident on the company and publicize the good side of the company.
Any human and financial resources you need, the company will fully support."
Liu Sichen was shocked. As a newcomer, he unexpectedly gained such trust. He immediately expressed his stance: "Don't worry, two bosses, I will definitely live up to my mission!"
Du Qiu said: "I don't ask you how to operate it specifically. The result I want is that Mengyuan Technology is a representative of domestic advanced technology, and its products are the best in the world."
"Understood, Mr. Du is also a scientist and entrepreneur who is dedicated to serving the country!" Liu Sichen nodded and added.
"Hehe, Director Liu's words make me feel a little elated." Du Qiu joked.
Suddenly there was some laughter in the office, dispersing the original serious atmosphere.
Yuan Minhua said with a smile: "Director Liu is actually right. These products of our company fill the domestic gap and can replace imports.
Every item has been developed through hard work led by General Du, and is worthy of the words ‘Serve the country with one heart’.”
Du Qiu said: "Okay, Director Liu, please hurry up and deal with this first incident of malicious attack on me. By the way, there are a lot of reporters waiting outside. You can just call them together to hold a press conference."
Liu Sichen nodded and said: "Yes, that's what I meant. Two bosses, do you want to attend?"
"Brother Sun, just come forward."
Du Qiu didn't want to see these reporters. With this time, he could do a few more experiments.
With the establishment of Mengyuan Technology's emergency public relations team, Mengyuan Technology responded quickly, held a press conference, and issued a clarification statement.
At the same time, a lawyer's letter was issued to a well-known celebrity who spread the rumor, demanding a public apology and compensation, otherwise he would be sued for defamation.
The statement also requires that all reprinting websites or media must delete it immediately, otherwise they will be regarded as accomplices.
At the press conference, Mengyuan Technology confirmed that the new carbon fiber production process was indeed invented by the group's R&D center, and it was Dr. Du Qiu who led the way in completing the invention.
Not only that, it also exposed the previously developed Tiangong-1, which was completed within three months by the project team led by Dr. Du Qiu.
All in all, after the reporters reported it, people contacted some previous reports and easily formed the impression that Du Qiu was a young scientist who made outstanding achievements.
