Chapter 1340 – Gained support
“Damn! Things had turned around dramatically. Those cunning foreigners had fooled those workers!”
“They are foolish. How many foreigners are good people? Most of them are evil!”
“Hey, the one above is too extreme. At least, I think Mutou Ran, Asuka, Yui… are good people.”
“Share the link, please.”
“Link +1”
This online thread started going in the wrong direction. Still, everyone found out it was not the local Government that had exploited the workers. It is the Government trying to get back the things that should belong to them.
Suddenly, the local Government gained more supporters, and lesser people support those companies. Although many people complain about the Chinese Government, their Government is always right when it comes to foreigners.
This is similar to parents scolding and beating their children. But if someone scolded their children, they will fight it out with them.
Feng Yu smiles when he saw the online forums. The people are on his side now, and those companies can no longer play victims!
Those companies are the weaker side in this incident. Feng Yu had contacted the local Government, CCTV, media and used the internet against those companies.
These foreign companies also planned to make use of international media to force China to give in.
They are confident that the Chinese Government will not sit back and see their reputation affected.
If others think the Chinese Government had confiscated foreign companies’ assets, who would dare to invest in China in the future? The Chinese economy will collapse.
This won’t be good for China’s international reputation and diplomatic relations with other countries.
……..
“What do you all think of this incident?”
“This incident is created by Feng Yu, and he is not someone rash. I think he will have a way to settle this. Let’s contact him and see if he needs our help.”
“But this will be equivalent to us admitting we are trying to cheat those foreign investors. This will harm our reputation, and our economy will be affected.” Someone said.
They want to get back their national brands, but they cannot take them back by force.
“I also think we should speak to Manager Feng. We cannot say CCTV and the local governments are wrong, as they will be slapping us. But the local governments should be given a warning as they had not reported such a big issue to us.”
“We can discuss that another time. I think we should do something about the international media. We cannot let those companies tarnish our reputation.”
The top leaders discussed for a long time, and one of them is picked to contact Feng Yu. They hope this incident can be settled as soon as possible.
…….
“Committee Member Bao, I know what you mean. But don’t worry. I am also Chinese, and this will never change. I will never harm my motherland’s interest. Look at the information I prepared. My retaliation is going to start, and it will be more effective if the country can assist!”
Feng Yu gave some documents to Party Committee Member Bao. The documents contain information on similar cases that happened overseas, and it proved China had done nothing wrong.
Instigating workers to go on strike in any country will incur the wrath of the Government. It will affect the economy and can be considered creating unrest in the country!
“Manager Feng, these documents are saying we are right in taking down their advertisements and demanding compensation from them, right?”
Feng Yu rolled his eyes. Stop stating the obvious. Are you all thinking that I am unreasonable?
“The laws in our country are not comprehensive, and they can exploit the loopholes. But this is not uncommon overseas, especially in the West. We had done nothing wrong if you look into previous cases!”
“This information will be sent to the media, and everyone will know we had followed the law. This is also a warning to other foreign investors. If they want to invest in China, they must follow the laws and don’t start any trouble!”
Party Committee Member Bao is worried. “Manager Feng, will this stop other foreign investors from investing in China?”
Feng Yu sighed. “Party Committee Member Bao, it is our policies and market those investors are interested in. China is the biggest market in the world, and it is bigger than the North American market. Just look at our population.”
“10% of our market is equivalent to the US market, and 20% is equivalent to the whole North American market. Who is willing to give up on such a vast market? You should know many products are selling at different prices here and in North America. But don’t think that things are cheaper here. If you check the prices, many products are selling cheaper in the US!”
Party Committee Member Bao is shocked. “You are saying that their products are selling more expensive here? But we are a developing country, and our GDP per capita is lesser than those developed countries.”
“You also say it is GDP per capita. But our country’s policy is to encourage a portion of people to get wealthy first. This means we have a lot of wealthy people now. They had purposely created this impression as they can increase the profits of certain products and brand awareness. For example, McDonald’s. It is a fast-food restaurant and is similar to our bun shops. But do the people think so? When McDonald’s first appeared here, some people even hold their weddings there.”
Feng Yu is feeling helpless over this. It’s the level of education that created this gap. Who would hold their wedding in McDonald’s now? But the fast-food chains are targeting the younger market by marketing in schools. They even introduce group meals to encourage them to hold gatherings at their restaurants.
Those are only burgers, fries, Coke, etc. How can you call it a gathering?
But it’s hard for those fast-food chains to fool the grown-ups.
Party Committee Member Bao clenched his teeth. “Alright. The State will stand on your side. But can you inform us beforehand if you are going to do such things in the future?!”
