Chapter 174 - Chapter 171: Ma Lao in Deep Trouble

Ten twenty.

The official Weibo accounts of Penguin and Penguin Group released the latest Weibo posts.

"Please do not let people take advantage of you and do not spread rumors. We will hold those who spread rumors and cause reputational damage to Penguin Group accountable."

This post instead angered netizens, who came to leave comments.

"The Penguin Group is unscrupulous. Has there been no conclusion to their secret manipulation of the rankings?"

"Unscrupulous merchants are all snakes and rats in the same nest!"

"You're doing this again. To hold someone responsible, do you have to prove yourself first?"

"There's no smoke without fire!"

"Penguin, you are really bullying customers because of your size! You are still being held accountable for your comments!"

"The things exposed in the headlines are well-founded! Please clarify first!"

"Yes, I have known about this store for a long time. It was rejected by the YY group at that time, and later it was listed on the Penguin group. I didn't expect it to be on the list!"

"I was shocked. I just read the reviews of the store on Penguin Group and found that there were only a few reviews. It would be strange if it wasn't a shady operation!"

"It's the same here in Luzhou! The merchants are like shit, but they can still be on the list. Who would believe that there is no shady deal?"

While the issue was still hotly discussed online, a new round of exposure began on the headlines.

"Penguin Group, corruption from bottom to top!" "

"Merchant exposes the evil deeds of Penguin Group members! "

"Insider information, Penguin Group employees' own accounts! "

"It's hard to believe that a new industry has emerged because of the Penguin Group!" "

"Spending millions just to get on the list!" "

"Spending tens of millions to clean up the mess on Weibo, worthy of being the Penguin Empire!" "

Keeping up with the trend, the self-media people on Toutiao are indeed doing their job conscientiously.

Each article has reached over 100,000 views and over 10,000 comments.

The direction of the wind is clearer now, and the whole network is united in fighting against the penguin.

If Toutiao had not existed, this matter would have died down. But now that Toutiao is constantly pumping out articles, Weibo is in a bit of a pickle. They dare not restrict these posts, for fear that they might accidentally arouse public outrage. When a platform loses its credibility, it will collapse.

....

Goose City, Penguin Building.

"Boss, the situation is getting more serious!" The head of the public relations department found Boss Ma and said.

"Can't Weibo handle it?" asked Boss Ant.

"It's just that the price is a bit high! And this is not just on Weibo, the most important thing is also on YY headlines, this...!" The head of the public relations department said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"We have to deal with it no matter how high the price is! Don't worry about YY headlines!" After saying this, Boss Ant turned around and left, picked up his phone and called Ye Xuan.

"Hey, Ye...Boss..."

Jiangdu, Ye Group Building.

Ye Xuan, who was watching the fun online, heard his cell phone ring.

"Hello, Boss Ma! Sorry, I was in a meeting with my employees just now, so I'm a little late!" When he saw it was Boss Ma, he waited for ten seconds before answering!

"Boss Ye, you're welcome! Since we're in a meeting, I wonder if I'm disturbing you?" Boss Ma still found it difficult to start.

"It's nothing. This is something that happened on the Internet. I called a meeting for my employees to let them learn from it! Now that the meeting is over, is there anything Boss Ant can do for you?" Ye Xuan said deliberately.

"Boss Ye, can you help us with Toutiao?!" Boss Ant almost got depressed.

Ye Xuan knew that although this matter caused heated discussions on the Internet, it was at most a loophole in the supervision of the Penguin Group. The ultimate reason was still with the merchants. As long as the merchants were eliminated, the problem would not be too big.

However, Penguin Group Buying will probably incur some expense this time, and this incident will become a permanent stain that cannot be erased.

Ye Xuan said seriously: "I'm sorry, YY headlines have freedom of speech, I won't stop it; but don't worry, YY headlines have always guaranteed fairness and justice, and will not encourage escalation and spread."

Boss Ant was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Thank you."

...

Baocheng, Mabao Building.

Boss Ma has been asking people to pay attention to group buying recently, and as expected, there was a big problem on Boss Ant's side.

"Boss, that's wise!" The head of the planning department said to Boss Ma, and he meant it sincerely.

Seeing the problems encountered by Penguin Group, they can avoid them when it is their turn on Dangdang.com.

"Okay, we must learn from what happened to the Penguin Group and prevent such things from happening again!" Boss Ma said with a smile.

"Yes! Then let's go online on Dangdang.com?" asked the person in charge.

"Online!" said Boss Ma.

"Okay, boss!" The person in charge hurried out.

After so much preparation, Dangdang.com is finally online!

Mabao Group did not leak any information and was actively trying to win over merchants. It had signed contracts with 150,000 merchants in 50 cities, and all of them had been audited.

Dangdang.com's audit requirements are much higher than those of Penguin Group, and as a result, all merchants that go online are of very high quality.
