Chapter 94: 092 Fermentation

"Not all industries are suitable for internetization."

"This is a conclusion I reached after deeply contacting the internet matchmaking industry."

"I founded a project in June this year and sold it to a well-known company in the internet matchmaking industry in early October. Immediately, I joined the company until I factually resigned in November."

"I want to say everything I saw and subsequently investigated."

"One, false information is rampant in the industry!"

"Two, websites maliciously conceal or even deceive!"

"Three, mainstream brands create and sell anxiety!"

"Four, the wrong performance mechanism forces employees to sacrifice the interests of customers!"

"Five, customer information is seriously leaked, and even frequently resold and sold in the industry!"

Bai Xiaosheng's pinned article was signed by Yu Xing, listing the five sins of the entire industry, but it was not just listing, but also attaching the cases and evidence he obtained one by one.

"In November, I saw a female customer who made a scene at the headquarters of a company. The contract she signed was a service fee of 19,800, the service period was 4 months, and no less than 6 dating objects were arranged."

"However, among the 4 people she had already met, one planned to get pregnant before marriage, one hinted not to have children after marriage, and the other two were also extremely unreliable, and the answer she got was that she did not indicate that she did not accept pregnancy before marriage and not having children."

"This is the exact opposite of the high-quality resources and high success rate promised before signing the contract."

"There are still many similar cases; see the attachment document at the end of the article for details."

"If you are a potential customer, you are attracted by the dazzling successful cases, you click into the website with longing for love and fantasy about family, you register an account, and you will encounter online information harassment next, you will meet sales who call themselves teachers, you will be bombed by phone to offline one-on-one induction, and you will see opaque but expensive packages."

"You think the person sitting in front of you is an exquisite beauty/highly educated youth who returned from studying abroad, but in reality, the person opposite may have already formed a family. For details, please refer to the 18th case in the document."

"You are 25 years old, and the person opposite is just 52. For details, please refer to the 31st case in the document."

"You finally regret it, but the sales take out the contract and cross their legs. For details, please refer to the 8th case in the document."

"When I know these and not just these, I can't help but doubt, can the business model of the internet matchmaking industry really be sustainable?"

"I think the answer is obvious, very obvious!"

"But before that answer of a mess arrives, as a member who was barely considered to be in the industry, I am willing to dissect the problem for everyone to see."

"Perhaps, it is really not all industries that are suitable for internetization."

"Note: All cases use pseudonyms, but many customers can come out to confront."

The article actually operated by Song Yufeng was not too sensational, because there were very solid actual cases as annotations under the article.

The article was posted at 9 o'clock sharp, and in just five minutes, there were already many comments below.

After nearly two months of struggle, although college students still occupy a large proportion, there are not a few workplace employees. This point in the morning is the moment of emptying after arriving at the company. Some clicked into the website casually to see the experience of new employees, but caught a glimpse of the "Five Sins."

Immediately, the post was transmitted to the hands of colleagues.

Colleagues pass to colleagues, friends pass to friends, links turn to forums.

Many people have not been in contact with the internet matchmaking industry, but they all know what is going on, and they know even better how to watch the fun in a boring morning.

Bai Xiaosheng's current setting is to allow tourists to browse, but comments and downloading attachments require registration. However, the details of the cases in the article are all in the document, which made many people register with the mood of watching the fun.

Register, download, open it impatiently.

Good guy, a pure text TXT document is actually 120KB in size!

Those familiar with TXT encoding can immediately know that the Chinese characters in this document are roughly 40,000 to 50,000 words!

Good guy!!

I am too lazy to open work documents, but I study eating melon documents word by word!

As of the time Bai Xiaosheng posted the post, the total number of registered users of the entire website was 26,587, and in the 3 hours after the release, this number increased by 4,258, almost equivalent to a week's work results.

Song Yufeng laughed reluctantly: "Brother Xing, I saw the content of our post on Xiaonei..."

Yu Xing nodded: "This is not strange, we ourselves have many college student users."

The way college student users eat melon and support is to forward the post to the more influential Xiaonei, and it can be estimated that the workplace user group will have similar actions.

"Why don't they have any movement?" Song Yufeng is worried about the target of this shelling. Although it didn't name names, the mainstream brands are those three, not to mention that it is easy to know who acquired the boss's company.

"We are just a small website, and the effect needs to ferment." Yu Xing estimated, "At most, the public relations department will hold a small meeting now. Wait, this is both a sprint and a verification for us."

The sprint is trying to reach Bai Xiaosheng's 50,000 registration target early, and the verification is whether Bai Xiaosheng's platform prototype is established.

Bai Xiaosheng's positioning is to do workplace topics. Of course, negative topics are always easier for users to speak out, but this is the theory of design. Specific practice is to see such verification.

Perhaps it is more time to watch the fun during lunch break. At two o'clock in the afternoon, accompanied by the appearance of more comments, Bai Xiaosheng's registered users rose by another 2,000.

At two-thirty, Yu Xing received a call from his old boss at Zhenai in the office.

He pressed the phone, left the office, and walked toward the conference room with better soundproofing.

But on the way to transfer, Wei Jialan's angry voice had already attracted the attention of the employees.

"You surnamed Yu! What do you want to do!?"

Yu Xing didn't answer immediately, waved his hands at the employees, signaling everyone to work with peace of mind.

Song Yufeng at the workstation rolled his eyes and picked up a document, muttering: "I have something to report."

He walked into the conference room.

Lu Haiying, who was not far away, saw the chairman's action and also got up and walked toward the conference room. Hmm, she wanted to see what the chairman wanted to report.

Other employees didn't have such freedom of action, but soon there was a heated discussion.

"Wei Zong, what do you say?" Yu Xing pulled the chair in the conference room and asked lightly.

Wei Jialan questioned angrily: "You surnamed Yu, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Yu Xing saw Song Yufeng and Lu Haiying walking into the conference room, pressed the speakerphone, and clicked record, "I am just pointing out the problems in the industry, and I didn't name your company."

Wei Jialan laughed angrily: "This is not naming names, right? Do I still have to thank you? You stole our company's user information! This is illegal!"

"I didn't write any company, and all the names that appeared were pseudonyms." Yu Xing said with reason, "How did it become your company's user information?"

Wei Jialan was even more righteous: "Whether those cases are the company's, I can tell at a glance!"

Yu Xing was about to fight back, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

Lu Haiying beside him almost couldn't help laughing.

Wei Jialan hadn't felt the abnormality yet. Seeing the silence on the other end of the phone, her momentum became even stronger: "Do you know what you are doing! You are making trouble, and you are looking for trouble for yourself!"

Yu Xing asked sincerely: "Wei Zong, the cases I used with pseudonyms were identified by you as your own company's customers. Don't you think there is any problem here? Is this how you treat customers? Who is the most fundamental trouble?"

Wei Jialan was stunned and reacted.

She skipped this abnormality directly and said in a tough tone: "Yu Xing, delete the post immediately, apologize immediately, otherwise, this website of yours won't be able to open!"

"Even if I want to delete it, even if I want to apologize, someone in the company won't agree." Yu Xing said lightly, "Our company's chairman, Song Yufeng, he won't let me delete it."

Song Yufeng opened his mouth and made no sound.

He felt that Brother Xing could not mention himself at this time...

Wei Jialan frowned: "Who is Song Yufeng? Are you still committing crimes as a group? What do you want to do? Want public relations fees?"

"Song Yufeng used to be a reporter for NetEase. He is a hard bone." Yu Xing put out the chairman's resume, "He just couldn't stand NetEase doing the same business as Gui'ai, so he directly scolded NetEase and resigned directly!"

Wei Jialan was angry and confused just now. Hearing this, she remembered where she had seen this name.

She sneered: "Whether it's Song Yufeng or you Yu Xing, I advise you, it's best to stop now, don't make the scene too ugly!"

"Wei Zong, why don't you understand?" Yu Xing sighed, "It's you who made the industry too ugly. If I didn't stand up today, someone else would stand up tomorrow."

Seeing that the opposite side didn't loosen his mouth at all, Wei Jialan said coldly: "Wait for the lawyer's letter! Wait to be sued!"

Yu Xing put down his phone and said to the chairman: "Prepare to receive the lawyer's letter. Turn around and set up a special area on the website to hang the lawyer's letter."

Song Yufeng was a bit uneasy: "Wei Jialan's reaction seems quite fast."

It makes people worry before there is movement, and it makes people worry the same now.

Yu Xing shook his head: "It's done, the hard bones are at the front."

Song Yufeng: "..."

Yu Xing reminded: "Don't be hesitant, your girlfriend is still watching."

Kong Huilin from Penguin has already joined Bai Xiaosheng and is currently in the stage of familiarizing herself with the business.

Song Yufeng could only nod silently.

Yu Xing hadn't explained a few words before he saw the chairman's phone ring.

"Strange number." Song Yufeng picked it up and didn't answer immediately.

Yu Xing said concisely: "Speakerphone."

Song Yufeng cleared his throat, connected, and clicked speakerphone: "Hello, hello, I am Song Yufeng."

"Hello, hello, Song Zong, I am Chu Xiaoxia from Zhenai." The other end of the phone was a gentle female voice, reporting her family name, "I noticed an article discussing the online matchmaking industry on your website. Can you delete it?"

Song Yufeng's hard bone attack: "No."

Chu Xiaoxia said patiently: "Song Zong, it's like this. We think this article has some untrue parts, but it also reminded us. The company has already had self-inspection and self-correction, and there were instructions at the meeting at noon today, which must protect the interests of users."

She said pitifully: "Song Zong, our work is not easy. Please understand us. We have really started to do work. Isn't your post also for the good of the industry?"

Song Yufeng looked at the boss.

Yu Xing shook his head slightly.

Chu Xiaoxia didn't get a response, her voice soft and begging, "You can keep that post. I was designated to negotiate with you today. How about this, wait for the correction in the company to have an effect, and I will report to you again."

She continued: "Song Zong, I am also a worker. Please pity me. My work today must have some progress. How about this, I will apply for a brand management fee from the company in the afternoon. You look at our situation of organizing business first, okay?"

Song Yufeng looked at the boss again, the soft bone was a bit eager to move, just wanted to speak, but saw Yu Xing reach out and grab the phone.

Yu Xing pressed the phone directly.

Then, he looked at Song Yufeng coldly: "What do you want to say to her?"

"Uh, I didn't want to say anything, my brain seemed blank." Song Yufeng told the truth, "Brand management fee is public relations fee, Zhenai is hard and soft, I don't know how much public relations fee can be given."

Yu Xing sneered: "Hard and soft?"

He looked at the second-in-command Lu Haiying and taught: "Don't pay attention to this kind of talk, and don't follow the rhythm of the opposite side to discuss. Always maintain our position. If our tone loosens, maybe we will be framed for extortion, and still dare to ask for brand management fees?"

Lu Haiying nodded solemnly.

Song Yufeng realized later, in a cold sweat.

"You are a reporter yourself, don't you have this vigilance?" Yu Xing looked at Song Yufeng with dissatisfaction and warned, "Hard bones are not only to protect the company, but also to protect yourself."

Song Yufeng had a dry mouth and nodded hard. At this time, he had to be hard if he wasn't!

His voice was a bit dry and said: "There won't be anyone squatting downstairs now, right?"

Yu Xing pondered for a moment: "It shouldn't be, but I guess the opposite side must have recorded it, and specially found a girl with a nice voice. Rest assured for the time being, they are not Penguin."

Zhenai is a big company compared to Bai Xiaosheng, but its energy is much worse than the real giants.

However, it is not certain whether they have relationships locally, so it is always right to act cautiously.

"You go out." Yu Xing said seriously, "I have something to say to Xiao Ying, remember, the rivers and lakes are dangerous."

Song Yufeng went out silently.

He still had lingering fears, specially walked to the window and looked down.

Song Yufeng licked his lips, feeling a bit bottomless in his heart.

He sat at his workstation, looking at his phone for a while, and looking at the website for a while.

Obviously, this shelling is still fermenting, which can be seen from the growing number of comments, and a key point is that confirmed TXT document, which brings a refreshing feeling to the melon-eating masses.

Just as Song Yufeng was in a daze, he suddenly heard the voice of his girlfriend Kong Huilin.

"NetEase reprinted and reported it!" Kong Huilin walked over and said happily, "NetEase reported it! Brother Feng, did you contact it?"

Bai Xiaosheng wanted to amplify this action through the media.

As a former employee, Kong Huilin contacted her old boss at Penguin, but didn't get any feedback.

NetEase is also her boyfriend's old boss. Although there was some trouble before, its report this time was quite unconventional.

Song Yufeng heard this, clicked into NetEase, and saw the relevant report in the most conspicuous position.

He was both surprised and happy: "I didn't contact it, how did NetEase report it?"

Song Yufeng went to the conference room for the first time to report this good news to the boss.

Yu Xing affirmed the feedback from the media: "NetEase report is a good thing, both expanding influence and bringing a layer of public opinion amulet."

He pondered for a moment and guessed slowly: "Do you believe in reports based on morality? If there is no interest drive, NetEase is afraid that it wants to be a yellow sparrow behind."

Lu Haiying immediately understood this.

Song Yufeng also understood the meaning a little slower.

NetEase has internet matchmaking business, but its market share is very low, completely unable to shake the industry pattern. Therefore, it previously tried to find a new entry point for love contracts, and even integrated its business for this purpose.

However, that action was stirred up by Song Yufeng and Yu Xing.

If the industry can change this time, can NetEase take the opportunity to grab meat?

Lu Haiying looked at her senior: "Senior, do you think NetEase has thoughts about matchmaking? How will it move?"

Yu Xing repeatedly considered the NetEase business he had learned about before, pondered the shelling of his own family and the problems of the internet matchmaking industry, and finally said slowly: "If I were the person in charge of NetEase's relevant business, I am afraid this time it will fall on real-name authentication."

This is his speculation, I don't know if it can be verified.

However, no matter what, NetEase's key report is indeed fueling the flames, increasingly expanding the impact of Bai Xiaosheng's shelling this time.
