Chapter 392: Something Happened At Blue Fox Again
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The curses against Blue Fox had started to recede, but after Yin Xun hired the ghostwriters to create a scene, the matter suddenly became even more serious.
Other than the group of users who were scolding Blue Fox, there was also a group of people who directly reported them. Cheng She saw that it was useless for the fake writers to try removing the trending searches. He stared at the computer interface worriedly and did not know what to do.
Things were gradually spiraling out of control. Even if Cheng She was afraid now, the consequences might be even worse if he did not tell Si Fan.
He had no choice but to look for Si Fan.
“President Si, the users arc making a fuss because of the unfairness of our lottery draw. Many of them are complaining that the prizes are too small. What should we do? Should we increase the number of prizes?” Cheng She felt that since Xintao was not going online yet, Blue Fox had some monopoly for online shopping. As long as Si Fan put in some effort and took a profit loss to rope in the users, their chances of winning were still decent.
The biggest concern was if the users would lost trust in them. If Xintao went online later, their users would all be lost. It would be too late for Blue Fox to salvage the situation.
However, Si Fan did not think so. He rolled his eyes at Cheng She. “If we increase the rewards after they make a fuss, doesn’t that mean that we will be controlled by the users in the future? Moreover, our fraud has already been discovered. If we change the lottery now, won’t it become even more exposed?”
“But…” Cheng She frowned. “Blue Fox has already angered a large number of users because of the bugs. They’re only staying now because we are the main shopping website. We even said that we would throw in big prizes as compensation. However, in the end, we used the lucky draw method. It’s no wonder they’re unhappy. If we let those users continue to cause trouble, I’m afraid that when Xintao goes online, the users will all go to Xintao…”
There was no need to care about the feelings of the users when they were the dominant force in the industry. In any case, there would always be haters. It would not affect their earnings much.
However, if the users had a second choice, they would have to be careful.
Cheng She’s analysis made a lot of sense. Every word was on point. This time, Si Fan did not scold him. Instead, he smiled and said confidently, “Don’t worry. Xintao won’t go online. Only our Blue Fox will be available for online shopping. Even if the users make a fuss, it won’t affect our earnings.”
“President Si, what do you mean?” Cheng She was puzzled.
However, Si Fan had no intention of explaining to him. “Go back. Since the users are making a fuss, hire more ghostwriters to suppress them. If it really doesn’t work, buy some popularity points to help them become a trending topic. It won’t do us any harm. It will get us more attention too.”
“You’re really not concerned anymore?” Cheng She was still worried and asked again.
Seeing Cheng She’s distrustful expression, Si Fan said impatiently, “Are you the CEO or am I the CEO? Just do whatever I tell you to do! Hurry up and work for me!”
Cheng She was helpless. Since Si Fan had said it like this, he could only do as he was told. However, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Xintao had been fighting Blue Fox for so long. How could they quietly remain offline forever? However, he did not dare to refute Si Fan. Si Fan was not someone who would listen to advice, so he could only do as he was told.
As a result, just as Si Fan wished, Cheng She did not need to spend more money to buy popularity in the end. Their company directly rushed to the trending searches. At the same time, there was also the matter of the rigged lucky draw.
Blue Fox was once again making news. It was negative news. Just because Si Fan was not worried did not mean that the investors were not worried.
The investors called Si Fan one after another, wanting to ask about the exact situation.
Si Fan could only comfort them since he could not tell them the exact reason. He could not reveal that he had already obtained internal information of Xintao. As long as he did something, Xintao would not be able to go online.
It was fine as long as he alone knew about this. This was something illegal. Even his investors could not know.
When the investors saw that he was given empty words of comfort, they started to worry. They felt that Blue Fox was becoming unreliable and planned to withdraw their investments. They would accept it if they only got part of their investments back. After all, if this continued, they would only lose more.
In the face of this situation, Si Fan could only hold back his anger. He cursed in the office, “What a bunch of fence-sitters who don’t even dare to take such a small risk! Get lost. In the future, you’ll know how stupid your decision is.. When the time comes, even if you kneel and beg me to accept your investments, I won’t agree!”
