Chapter 861 The public relations crisis of the finger company!
January 24th, the second day of the Lunar New Year.
The plane on which Zhao Xuming and Longyu Group went to Los Angeles to inspect their employees landed at the Magic City Airport.
After more than a month, Zhao Xuming set foot in the Magic City again, feeling a little like he was in another world.
When I went there, it was Zhao Xuming, employees of Longyu Group, and two clubs, but when I came back, only Zhao Xuming and employees of Longyu Group were left.
Because those two clubs had already been eliminated after the group stage, there was no reason to stay in Los Angeles and they had already flown back.
There has been no news about these two clubs on the Internet for a long time.
The reason is also very simple. After the World Championship ended like this, of course he had to pretend to be dead!
It has to be said that pretending to be dead is still effective for these two teams. Up to now, basically no one on the Internet has criticized them anymore, and their public opinion environment has even improved to a certain extent!
On the one hand, this is because the FV team won the championship for domestic players, and everyone is too busy to be happy and too lazy to criticize the two teams that accompany them; on the other hand, it is because various news during the World Championship are gradually revealed. Most people realize that the failure of these two teams cannot be entirely blamed on the players. There are many reasons for the failure.
The blame has been shared, and naturally these two teams will not be sprayed with concentrated firepower.
Therefore, for these two clubs, although there is not much gain from the trip to Los Angeles, there is not much loss either.
At least the air tickets and accommodation will be reimbursed, and the team members will not lose anything when they go out to play in international competitions.
But for Zhao Xuming, the whole trip to Los Angeles was really terrible!
Because there were few people when we came back, Zhao Xuming very generously arranged for all employees to fly business class, which finally made up for the frustration of going to Los Angeles.
However, he still deliberately chose a later direct flight to Magic City because he did not want to run into the people from the FV team.
Otherwise, when the time comes, everyone will fly in business class, and then everyone from the FV team will happily discuss winning the championship on the plane. Wouldn’t this be like beating yourself up?
It stands to reason that Zhao Xuming is the person in charge of domestic operations of ioi. It should be a win-win for him if the domestic team wins the ioi world finals championship. But the problem is that FV's victory really has nothing to do with him. On the contrary, it is a matter of success. A slap in the face!
If the other two teams win the championship, then Zhao Xuming will definitely be very happy to ride on the popularity and take part of the credit for winning the championship.
Only the FV team won the championship, and Zhao Xuming couldn't win it.
You can't say, "Because I didn't take them to Los Angeles to train in advance, which caused Mr. Pei to pay for the logistics team, so FV can win the championship. Did I make a bloody achievement this time?" right?
Therefore, Zhao Xuming could only choose to avoid the FV Club group in despair and return to the Magic City at a staggered time.
Thinking about it this way, this trip to Los Angeles was really a complete failure for Zhao Xuming!
I originally didn’t want to take the FV team, but they went there at their own expense and bumped into me at the airport;
You fly economy class while others fly business class;
I stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott, and others stayed at the Ritz-Carlton;
I rent a small corner on the first floor of the Internet cafe, and someone else rents the second floor of the Internet cafe;
You can walk to training by yourself, and you will be picked up by a special car and escorted by bodyguards;
I can only ask my grandfather and my grandmother to find European and American teams for training. They have two training teams of their own, and the training effect is even better;
The two teams I supported were both eliminated in the group stage, and they won the championship with a score of 9-0 without losing a single game.
This is really visible to the naked eye. It was completely exploded in all directions!
The most annoying thing is that it is the Spring Festival holiday. The FV team spent this year in Los Angeles, which is very memorable; and Zhao Xuming spent this year in Los Angeles, which highlights the hard work!
Therefore, Zhao Xuming only has one idea now, which is to quickly return to the headquarters to report on work, and then go home to have a good rest and comfort his severely wounded soul.
After leaving the airport, my staff had arranged for Longyu Group to send a commercial vehicle to pick him up.
Zhao Xuming got on the bus without saying a word. After getting into the car and fastening his seat belt, he closed his eyes and rested, not wanting to say another word.
The flight from Los Angeles to Shanghai lasted about twelve hours. In the business class, you could sleep and rest comfortably, so Zhao Xuming didn't feel very tired.
His fatigue mainly comes from mental reasons.
The accompanying Longyu Group employees are all core members of the ioi Operations Cooperation Department. One of their important tasks in going to Los Angeles this time is to visit, communicate, and learn at the headquarters of Zhidou Company. Naturally, they are also paying attention to the ioi World Finals throughout the entire process.
.
Others were not as frustrated as Zhao Xuming. After all, they were not directly responsible, so they thought it was a trip at public expense.
Before, everyone on the plane was sleeping, watching movies, and their mobile phones were all turned off. Now that they have returned to Shanghai, many people have turned on their mobile phones to surf the Internet and check some of the latest news on the Internet.
Suddenly, an employee said in a panic: "Mr. Zhao! Oh no, our company seems to be on the hot search! People from the public relations department are looking for you!"
Zhao Xuming, who was closing his eyes to rest his mind, opened his eyes immediately when he heard these words: "What?!"
Why did it suddenly become a hot topic?
What happened during these ten hours on the plane?
Obviously, being scolded in the hot search was probably related to the ioi global finals. Zhao Xuming, as the head of the ioi operation cooperation department, did not dare to neglect at all and quickly took out his mobile phone to check.
Sure enough, Longyu Group was really scolded and became a hot search topic!
Many netizens are madly criticizing Longyu Group, especially Zhao Xuming. One of the most representative posts directly opened up old scores and brought Zhitou Company, Longyu Group and Zhao Xuming together, making them bloody.
head!
"Let's take a look at the cool operations of the domestic ioi operator Longyu Group while FV is working hard to win glory for the country!"
"Based on the melons released so far, we can at least determine the following points:"
"First of all, Longyu Group brought two other clubs to Los Angeles without bringing FV with them at all. It was completely different and unfair treatment! If President Pei hadn't generously paid for it out of his own pocket, FV might have had no training games to play in.
Condition!"
"Secondly, Zhitou Company and Longyu Group randomly changed the version, which not only exposed the failure of ioi's original gameplay design, but also seriously damaged the interests of all old players! However, they have been using the trick of dragging their feet, hoping to pass the ioi global finals
The heat overshadows this topic!”
"Finally, and the most disgusting thing, Finger Company actually sent a game balancer privately to guide the FRY team! I want to ask, if the organizer personally guides the club to play games, how fair is the competition?"
"Obviously, Zhitou Company officials just don't want Team FV to win this championship, so they came up with such a despicable method!"
"As for Zhao Xuming of Longyu Group, as a partner, how could he not know about this matter? He definitely knew it! But he didn't stop it. What does this mean? It means that he has a guilty conscience. He knows that his different treatment of FV will be criticized.
Damn it, so he doesn’t want FV to win the championship. The national and national honor in competitive competitions is not as important as his personal self-interest in his heart. In the past, we usually called this kind of person a 'traitor' or a 'traitor'!"
"If the FV team hadn't been strong enough and still won the championship under such circumstances, and if someone hadn't exposed this matter, I'm afraid people who don't know the truth would still be criticizing the FV team, and the two companies, Longyu Group and Zhitou Company,
The culprit is hiding in the dark and laughing!"
"From this point, we can also see the essence of the two companies Zhidou Company and Longyu Group:"
"Not only is Zhitou Company full of discrimination and prejudice against domestic teams, but they are also a company that cannot afford to lose. If they can't win with just and aboveboard means, they resort to such petty tactics;"
"As a large domestic company, Longyu Group would act against others for its own interests under such circumstances, which is very disgraceful!"
"When something like this happens, as a player, besides verbally criticizing it online, the only way is to boycott!"
"Players who don't play ioi must boycott, because Zhitou Company and Longyu Group treat our championship team differently; players who play ioi must boycott even more, because Zhitou Company and Longyu Group have never truly respected the rights of players!"
Zhao Xuming was stunned and his hands and feet felt cold.
What's going on!
How did it come to light that Zhitou Company assigned a data balancer to FRY?!
He roughly read through all the popular discussion posts on the Internet, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
This public opinion is already one-sided, and a thousand people have criticized it!
This is an unprecedented public relations crisis for both Longyu Group and Zhidou Company. If it is not handled well, the consequences will be disastrous!
If you look carefully at these topics in popular speeches, you will see that most of them have been exposed before.
For example, when ioi first pushed the new version, it sacrificed the interests of old players and caused a lot of condemnation on the Internet.
At the end of the quarter-finals, someone revealed that FV went to Los Angeles at their own expense, and Longyu Group did not take them at all.
At the end of the semi-finals, FV used tactics from GOG. Some people used this to refute the idea that "ioi design is better than GOG" and believed that GOG's gameplay and tactics were ahead of ioi.
At that time, these posts had already had a certain impact on the Internet, but the finals had not yet been played, so their influence was limited and could be suppressed.
But now that the FV team has won the championship, all these things have naturally been revealed by netizens, and they have begun to settle accounts!
The most critical tipping point in this is the incident reported by foreign media that "Zhitou Company sent a data balancer to help FRY formulate tactics"!
Obviously, as soon as this news came out, all the hatred accumulated before was exploded!
Because the previous things seemed very bad to netizens, but they were still acceptable, but this thing is absolutely unacceptable!
After all, Zhitou Company is the organizer of the event. The organizer sent the game's data balancer to guide the FRY team and directly intervened in the finals of the two teams. Isn't this a bias?
