Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 605: Malicious Rumors

Adults naturally prioritize benefits in their actions.

Wu Changxun needs Chen Yiyang to give him some face, so that Chen Yiyang will talk with Ugly Group once more.

That naturally requires offering some benefits.

It's unclear if it's because Ugly Group didn't offer enough benefits when asking Wu Changxun to step in, but the benefit he offered just happened to be a piece of news about Ugly Group.

And that is, Tengxu, originally the largest shareholder besides Ugly Group's big boss Wang Xin, has already passed a resolution internally.

It is to distribute the shares they hold in Ugly Group to shareholders through a special dividend distribution.

After this dividend, Tengxu's holding of Ugly Group shares will be reduced to less than two percent.

This also means, after this period of delivery battles, Tengxu has determined that Ugly Group is very likely to lose its monopoly position.

Under such circumstances, continuing to hold Ugly Group's shares doesn't make much sense.

Rather, it would be better to give dividends to shareholders while Ugly Group's shares are still worth some money.

This way, Tengxu nominally continues its usual habit of giving huge dividends to shareholders.

And it also retains its large cash reserves.

Of course, this is not good news for Ugly Group.

Tengxu is a significant supporter, and Tengxu has no business competition with Ugly Group.

Tengxu, with its massive traffic, can also redirect traffic to Ugly Group.

But now, Tengxu has decided to abandon Ugly Group.

Chen Yiyang feels that not demanding Ugly Group to give those shares for free is already quite magnanimous.

Xiao Jing looks a little pale.

He went back to communicate with the big boss.

"Mr. Chen," Xiao Jing said to Chen Yiyang, "According to the market value's 50%, we'll transfer Dog Eye Entertainment's shares to Yiyang Entertainment.

But, in exchange, Yiyang Flash Sale must maintain an alliance cooperation with Ugly Group in the flash sale field for at least two years in the future.

When either party conducts any marketing activity, they must notify each other and cooperate with one another.

And both parties should integrate resources as much as possible to save competition costs.

Ugly Group can tolerate a Yiyang Flash Sale and themselves competing together.

But they absolutely cannot let a giant like Ah Li come in and threaten them.

The former is a matter of earning a little less money, and the latter is a matter of life and death.

Let the assistant team follow up on the subsequent cooperation with Ugly Group afterward.

Chen Yiyang returned to Zhang Yuling's home and received some good news.

His good Russian brother Gena helped him find a few tea importers in Russia, which could help Zhang Yuling solve part of the tea sales issue.

"My connections also helped me find a Chinese buyer in Morocco, who can solve most of my tea sales.

However, I need to go to Morocco myself to meet the other party and send a batch of tea from the factory."

"Hope it's not a scam," Chen Yiyang was a bit worried.

"Shouldn't be, I'll hire a bodyguard once I'm there."

"I have an international travel agency that I've been collaborating with, and they have security companies worldwide. I'll directly hire their team to protect you when the time comes."

"Thank you very much," said Zhang Yuling, placing her hand on Chen Yiyang's chest, her eyes sultry.

After resting for a few days at Zhang Yuling's place.

Chen Yiyang also received the business report for the first week of opening his Western restaurant.

Just based on the data, it was outstanding.

Although Chen Yiyang only personally invited people from the entertainment circle like Shen Teng and Cheng Sicheng to help him promote.

Once Chen Yiyang opened this door, the whole entertainment circle knew that Chen Yiyang had opened a new Western restaurant.

Thus, Shen Teng and Cheng Sicheng, along with the invited celebrities, came to dine, and uninvited many other celebrities, to please Chen Yiyang, also came to dine and posted on social media.

So the general public found that overnight, almost all celebrities in the entertainment industry were promoting a Western restaurant.

Before the news that the restaurant was backed by Chen Yiyang got out, people were guessing which top big shot opened the restaurant that managed to draw so many celebrities.

Rumors then spread, saying the restaurant was opened by a top-tier second-generation heir to harvest leeks.

But even if it was harvesting, as long as it could back their idols, fans were still willing to be harvested.

However, when these fans came to this seemingly upscale Western restaurant and ordered from the menu,

They first thought the prices were in US dollars.

It was too cheap!

Two people could fill up on a set meal for around fifty yuan.

Four people, without a set meal, could eat to their fill for just about two hundred yuan.

At such a price, the taste was clearly not a priority anymore.

Moreover, Western dishes don't require much cooking skill. As long as the ingredients are good, it's hard for laymen to tell subtle differences in taste.

Thus, the Sicily Western Restaurant had astonishingly good data in its first week, with people lining up every day to dine.

The staff were busy from morning to night, finally having to hire more people for shifts.

And this provided a perfect opportunity to train more staff for future deployment to other locations.

After the first branch of Sicily Restaurant established itself in Imperial Capital, Chen Yiyang also returned to Lin'an, starting the preparations for opening restaurants in various first and second-tier cities in Jiangnan.

"Boss, there's a situation in the public opinion that needs attention recently." The person in charge of Kuxing Coffee, Jiang City, approached Chen Yiyang to report.

The Sicily Restaurant focuses on cost-effectiveness, so Chen Yiyang didn't bother to start brewing a whole new coffee standard. The coffee machines and raw materials in the restaurant were directly from Kuxing's.

Therefore, Jiang City has been coordinating this matter in Lin'an during this time.

"What public opinion, is someone attacking Kuxing Coffee?" Chen Yiyang asked.

"It's not about us; it's about Mishu Ice City. Lately, online, many people are jokingly calling Mishu Ice City 'Mouse Ice City'."

After Jiang City finished speaking, Chen Yiyang immediately frowned.

Because he realized this was someone maliciously attacking Mishu Ice City.

Nominally it's a joke, but in reality, it involves cutting off the face of Mishu Ice City's cartoon image on the drink cups to expose the mouse head, combined with artificially creating "Mouse Ice City" hot search topics, this forms a strong insinuation: Mishu Ice City's drinks are unsanitary, there are mice inside.

This is an extremely vicious and successfully used tactic of public opinion attack.

There was once a MSG company called Lotus MSG, which occupied over 40% of the domestic market and was exported to over seventy countries.

At that time, rumors started spreading among the people that MSG caused cancer.

As the rumor intensified, some experts rose to promote chicken essence, saying chicken essence is healthier, and MSG is chemically synthesized and can cause cancer.

Thus, chicken essence companies began to rise rapidly, and Lotus MSG incurred losses for over a decade, frequently nearing bankruptcy.

Additionally, there was a rumor by Hong Kong media that Bawang shampoo contained carcinogens, causing Bawang shampoo's sales to plummet and the company to suffer heavy losses.

Although later the Bawang Group won the lawsuit against this Hong Kong media, they only received a compensation of a few million, which couldn't recover the losses.
