Chapter 27: storm
Shen Xi finally rejected Li Mingxuan's proposal. Facing Shen Xi's rejection, Li Mingxuan felt a sense of relief while disappointed.
The previous behavior was not under his control, the moment the words came out, the reason in the body had begun to resist. He knew it was an instinctive warning, and he was behaving more than expected.
A few days ago, he suddenly realized that he had put too much attention on Shen Xi, far more than a cousin's attention to his cousin, not to mention the relationship between him and Shen Xi There isn't much affection. He didn't want to think deeply about the reason, but just warned himself to control his behavior and refrained from paying attention to Shen Xi's news. But the preface is still in my ears, but his behavior is out of control again. Li Mingxuan has no intention to go back on what he said.
Shen Xi rejected him, and Li Mingxuan felt that he had returned to a safe place. He has been a person with super self-control since he was a child, and he has a detailed plan for his life. In the past twenty years, only one thing has been out of his plan, and that is sexuality, and he doesn't want the second thing in his life to be out of his plan.
The two bid farewell politely, Li Mingxuan drove away calmly, Shen Xi's figure in the rearview mirror was still lonely, Li Mingxuan looked away a little bit and focused on the front.
In the opposite direction to Li Mingxuan, Shen Xi called old K, "Let's put the news out tomorrow."
"So fast?" Old K wondered.
Shen Xi raised her eyebrows, "Thank you to Chu Qianqian."
The moment she hung up the phone, Shen Xi turned to look at the Shen family in the twilight. In the hazy night, the Shen family stood there like a behemoth. After decades of wind and rain, the Shen family seemed to be indestructible. But Shen Xi knew that soon this behemoth would be split up a little bit from the inside. Then in the not too distant future, there will be no Shen family in Zhongjing anymore.
This thought made Shen Xi smile with satisfaction.
Substance Dioxane".
For this unpopular newspaper, they do not know how many such sensational reports are published every day, all of which are like water droplets splashing into the sea and quickly silent. But what they didn't expect was that the report quickly became a hot topic on the Internet. Overnight, the newspaper, which did not have many sales on weekdays, miraculously sold out. At the same time, the news was in There was an uproar across the country.
"Yunrou shampoo found carcinogens!"
“Dioxane=cancer? Yunrou=cancer?”
"Shen's subsidiary is caught in the door of cancer!"
Numerous debates have been raised on the Internet, and major mainstream media have followed suit. For a while, the Shen Group was once again pushed to the forefront after the heir storm.
This time, Shen shi was no longer facing the wild speculations of reporters in the entertainment section, and Shen shi couldn't just smile as before. Looking at the three big bold words "dioxane" in the headline on the front page, Father Shen knew that if things were not handled properly this time, it would not only destroy Yun Rou's reputation, but also Shen's reputation for nearly a hundred years.
Father Shen sat in the study thoughtfully, thinking about the countermeasures for this matter.
Because she had just been discharged from the hospital, Shen's father did not rush to go to Shen's office, but chose to cultivate at home for a period of time. Currently, Shen Ji is in charge of Shen's. Half a year ago, Father Shen felt that he was getting older and had gradually started to delegate power to Shen Ji. Although the board of directors had some doubts about Shen Ji's age, they were all silenced under the tough attitude of Shen's father. From Father Shen's point of view, Shen shi will be handed over to Shen Ji sooner or later, but now it is only a few years early. While he is still in good health, he can watch and point Shen Ji if he has any problems.
Shen's father's expectations were too optimistic, and he did not expect that the first test Shen Ji faced would be so severe.
Although there were some misunderstandings with Shen Ji yesterday because of Chu Qianqian's matter, there is no overnight feud between father and son. After thinking about it, Father Shen still called Shen Ji.
Shen's father's phone number was directly dialed to Shen Ji's mobile phone. Shen Ji looked at the flashing word "father", hesitated a little, and answered the phone, "father."
"A Ji, have you seen the report?" Father Shen's voice was as kind as ever, as if nothing had happened before.
Shen Ji couldn't tell the feeling in his heart, "I see, I have arranged for the public relations department to convene a press conference as soon as possible to explain the situation."
"What are you going to do?" Father Shen asked
Shen Ji did not hesitate, "Show all the inspection reports of Yunrou, and use the facts to show that all products of Yunrou are strictly produced in strict accordance with the requirements of current national laws, regulations and standards, and have undergone strict quality control. And through a number of quality inspection certification and testing procedures, it absolutely meets the domestic and international quality and safety requirements, and is completely harmless to the human body."
Listening to the standard words in Shen Ji's words, Shen's father questioned, "What if the reporter asked about dioxane?"
Shen Ji hesitated and said, "The dioxane in Yunrou's products is not deliberately added in our production process, it is only a by-product of the production process. Because the required raw materials themselves remain, And it is technically unavoidable that the products contain trace amounts of natural residues, which are absolutely harmless to the human body.”
Father Shen and Shen Ji tacitly concealed a word, that is, dioxane is not unique to Yunrou, but all brand shampoos have it. Its existence is something that the entire industry knows well, but no one has ever dared to expose it.
Shen Ji's wording is very reasonable, and Shen's father just suggested, "At present, all the Yunrou in circulation on the market should be removed from the shelves, which also shows the company's responsible attitude towards consumers. ."
"No!" Shen Ji rejected Father Shen's proposal without thinking.
Shen Group has a history of nearly 100 years. It first started with industry, and then gradually involved real estate and financial investment. Due to the inclination of the state's policies on real estate and financial investment in those years, Shen's Group has made a lot of profits in these two areas, and the focus of the successful company has shifted to real estate and financial investment.
In recent years, due to the impact of the international financial crisis, the domestic economic situation is also very bad. After several investigations, the state put forward the slogan "Industry to revitalize the economy", encouraging everyone to invest in industries instead of putting money on the real estate and financial markets, and took out 6 trillion to rescue the market at one time.
In this context, Shen Ji proposed that the focus of the group should return to industry, and advocated the acquisition of a daily chemical company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. Then Shen Ji persuaded the board of directors to allocate funds and invested heavily in cooperation with foreign laundering giants to establish a research and development room. After a year of preparation, "Yunrou" shampoo was launched. The name was named by Shen Ji himself, "cloud" is in memory of his mother, and "soft" indicates the quality of the shampoo.
Yunrou shampoo quickly entered the domestic daily chemical industry with its unique positioning and fashionable packaging, becoming a dark horse, and sales have been booming in the past few years. Driven by interests, the directors who were originally dissatisfied with the shift in focus to the industry also shut their mouths one after another. Shen Ji, who had already submitted a report to the board of directors, intends to expand the production line and sell products abroad. He has even negotiated contracts with foreign companies and purchased the latest research and development production line generously, but he did not expect to encounter the "dioxane" incident when everything was going so smoothly.
It can be said that Yun Rou has a unique meaning to Shen Ji, and at this time, Shen's father proposed to let Yun Rou off the shelf, although it is to show an attitude, but it is not a distrust of Yun Rou. his distrust.
Shen Ji's rejection was in his father's expectations, but Shen Ji's unhesitating rejection was far beyond his father's expectations. He had not had conflicts with Shen Ji in decision-making in the past, including the acquisition of Yun Rou that year, and it was Shen Ji who persuaded him several times. But this Shen Ji's tone was too strong, and Shen's father suddenly thought of Shen Ji's disobedience to him last night, and there was a hint of displeasure in his heart.
"Why?" Father Shen tried to keep his tone calm.
Shen Ji didn't hear Father Shen's dislike, or he heard it but deliberately ignored it, his attitude was still tough, "I have confidence in Yun Rou." It's just that this sentence doesn't make any difference. explanation of.
Father Shen was silent on the phone for a while, "Okay, let's do it your way first."
Although the father and son were not as arrogant as last night, the vague differences seemed to be more serious than last night.
The Yunrou cancer-causing incident became more and more serious, although Shen Ji held a press conference for the first time, attended in person and sincerely expressed that all the company's products meet international and domestic standards, and issued A series of tests have been proved. But for the vast number of consumers, these explanations are too thin, not to mention the fact that the word Yunrou seems to be equated with cancer on the Internet.
Old K looked at the latest quotation of Shen's stock, and said to Shen Xi with schadenfreude, "Tsk tsk, in just one day, the market value of the entire Shen's has evaporated by more than one billion, Xiao Xixi You lost a lot."
Shen Xi ignored his teasing, "I'm not going to ask for it anyway, it doesn't matter how much."
Old K made a distressed face, "What are you going to do next?"
Shen Xi's eyes swept over the word "big cancer" and said with a smile, "Naturally, it is to add fuel to the fire."
Old K thought of the people Shen Xi asked him to find before, and knew Shen Xi's next plan.
One day after the news that Yun Rou was causing cancer, several consumers in Zhongjing filed a lawsuit against the Shen Group to the court. They insist that they have been using Yunrou's shampoo for the past two years, and unfortunately they have been diagnosed with cancer one after another recently. They asked Shen to give a statement, and they came with a huge claim.
If the report a few days ago was just a small fire, then the appearance of these few people turned the small fire into a big fire.
Many consumers were so excited that they demanded Shen's return and compensation.
At this time, Father Shen had to come forward. Although it was forced by the situation, in the eyes of everyone in the company, it was undoubtedly a distrust of Shen Ji's ability.
In the spacious office, Father Shen once again asked Yun Rou to remove them all.
Shen Ji still had a tough attitude, "If Yunrou is taken off the shelves at this time, doesn't it mean that we are guilty?"
Father Shen frowned, "How long do you want to carry it?"
Shen Ji insisted, "I have confidence in Yun Rou, father, you can also see that someone is planning behind all this, Yun Rou's rise has affected the interests of others, we just need to catch the With this person, you can successfully turn passive into active.”
"What are you going to do?"
"I have sent people to contact the reporter who first reported this incident, as well as the few consumers who appealed. Under the enticement of a lot of money, I don't believe that I can't ask anything from their mouths."
Perhaps this was not convincing enough, Shen Ji looked at Father Shen seriously, "Father, you once said that a crisis is sometimes a turning point, although this is a crisis for Yunrou, but It is not a good opportunity for us to develop further.”
Shen Ji's remarks finally moved Shen's father. Shen's father showed his support to Shen Ji at the board of directors with a tough attitude. The relationship between father and son was reconciled, and everything seemed to be back to before.
