Chapter 0599 Auction encounters rumors
Qihuang Charity and Sanwei International are located on the same floor. There are not many employees, only more than 30 people. The style is completely different from Sanwei International’s employees. Many of the employees here are hired by people at the bottom of society and urgently need assistance.
As for office decoration, it is far from the style of Sanwei International. The walls are simply painted white and the decorations are extremely simple. It is not that Qihuang Charity lacks money, but Qihuang Charity uses every donor's money to make it practical.
Several months after the establishment of Qihuang Charity, thousands of people have received funding. They come from various cities and are seriously ill and are in trouble. Qihuang Charity provides them with free medical assistance, allowing these people to continue their lives and change their survival situation.
However, this speed is far from enough. Qihuang Charity needs to help more people, so it needs more funds. This is why charity auctions are held.
Su Tao met Lu Shimiao and Qin Meimei at the door, and followed them to a very spacious room with some items placed in it, all of which were prepared for auction at the charity auction.
Qin Meimei pointed to a pair of jade horses and said, "This is an auction item sent by Mr. Song Sichen. The market price is worth about 500,000 yuan. The old man is also trying to make the auction."
Su Tao sighed inwardly. He knew Song Sichen very well. He was not an antique collector. He was also experiencing medical skills and did not have much energy to accumulate wealth, so his life was not abundant. This pair of jade horses was considered his most cherished treasure, but he took it out to contribute to Qihuang charity, which was very touched.
Su Tao sighed inwardly and said, "I'll bring some things to you tomorrow as an auction item!"
Qin Meimei naturally would not be polite and said excitedly: "The auction items on our side are of high quality. You don't have to use some street stall goods to fool people, otherwise you will be directly screened out."
Su Tao shrugged, laughing and crying, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."
Lu Shimiao stood at the door, smiling at first, suddenly someone pushed the door and walked in, approached Lu Shimiao's ear, and whispered a few words, her expression changed slightly.
Su Tao kept paying attention to Lu Shimiao and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Shimiao sighed with a serious expression, without hiding it, and said in a deep voice: "Someone just found a post on the Internet that discredited you and Qihuang's charity, which is quickly spreading."
Qin Meimei reacted quickly and frowned and said, "There was negative news at this critical moment. Someone must have deliberately opposed us!"
The three of them left the house and entered Qin Meimei's office. The decoration here was a little more elegant, but in the details, it can be seen that many of the decorations were Qin Meimei's personal belongings. This is also to save money, which shows that Qihuang Charity is really frugal in its operation.
I soon found a post that was being hotly discussed online, with the title "Shameless Charity, a blood-sucking institution in sheepskin".
In this post, more than a dozen false statements of malicious rumors were fabricated.
For example, the female president of Qihuang Charity opened a BMW to show off her wealth; Qihuang Charity ate 9,898 yuan in a meal; 50,000 yuan in life-saving money was handed over to Qihuang Charity, and the little girl died of illness, but the money was not arrived...
Qin Meimei glanced roughly, sighed inwardly, and said, "The rumor-maker's behavior is very despicable. It just transfers the scandals that have been exposed by some charity foundations in recent years to Qihuang Charity. There is no factual basis and cannot stand scrutiny at all."
"The key is that the charity auction is imminent now, and such scandals will undoubtedly hinder the activities." Lu Shimiao smiled helplessly, "The companies we invite have a certain influence across the country. Even if they know that these are fake news, they will be afraid of being implicated and choose to give up participating!"
As soon as Lu Shimiao finished speaking, Qin Meimei's cell phone rang, and the voice of her aunt Jiang Mengou came from inside, "Meimei, what's going on? The group's public relations department just reported that Qihuang Charity has caused a public opinion crisis, and you must deal with it quickly, otherwise, I have to cancel the decision on participating in the charity auction under pressure."
Qin Meimei could only explain helplessly: "Auntie, don't be impatient. Those are news about the wind coming in the air. We will quickly find the relationship to clear it, and hold a press conference to deal with it head-on!"
"You have to deal with it quickly!" Jiang Mengou was also anxious for Qin Meimei, "If necessary, I can ask the group's public relations department to cooperate with you in dealing with this public opinion crisis."
"No need!" Qin Meimei insisted, "We will handle it ourselves!"
This was a huge setback for Qihuang Charity, but Qin Meimei was confident to deal with it.
After hanging up Jiang Mengou's phone, Qin Meimei received several other calls again, all of whom were for this matter. As for Lu Shimiao, she was also answering the phone constantly, while Su Tao found that some people were concerned about the entrepreneur group of the Russian delegation before.
This viral spread and spread can fully demonstrate that the instigator behind it is definitely a big deal, and it is also a force with sufficient control over public opinion.
Qihuang Charity quickly touched the public relations plan, first of all, it issued a statement, saying that it would hold the spreader legal responsibility for the online rumors, secondly, it would use publicity resources to delete negative information from major online media, and finally hold a press conference to clarify the matter.
Su Tao was also trying hard to find a way to call Ni Jingqiu, hoping that she could use media resources to help her. Ni Jingqiu agreed readily, but after half an hour, he called again, saying that the person behind the scenes was very clever and that even with his own connections, he could not delete all the negative effects.
In an instant, Qihuang Charity became a hot topic, mainly because traditional Chinese medicine has not had a good reputation in recent years. In addition, several well-known charity funds have caused scandals not long ago, which made the outside world prejudice that Qihuang Charity is a fraud institution under the guise of traditional Chinese medicine doing charity.
Against this background, companies that had originally decided to participate in the charity auction sent official letters and canceled their original plans.
Su Tao stayed in Qihuang Charity for a day. When he encountered such a thing, he also tried various methods, but the effect was not good, just because the other party was prepared. He could actually find a more direct solution, such as Secretary-General Xue, but he still resisted this impulse. After all, Secretary-General Xue did not have a deep friendship with him, and this kind of relationship can only be used once at a critical moment.
As night falls, it is already time to get off work, but Qihuang Charity is still brightly lit and all employees are working overtime.
Su Tao was about to call Qin Meimei and Lu Shimiao for dinner. After all, he was hungry and could not solve the current predicament. At this time, the phone rang and a strange number appeared on it. After he connected it, a hoarse voice from a man came from inside, "Is it Doctor Su?"
Su Tao frowned vigilantly and said, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am! But I know that Qihuang Charity, which you control, is in great trouble." The man said in a low voice, "If you want Qihuang Charity to survive the current crisis, come and see me!"
Su Tao sighed inwardly. Although he knew that the person behind the scenes would definitely appear, he did not expect to invite him to meet him. This must be a Hongmen Banquet!
"Okay, you can report the location, I'll come to find you!" Su Tao said in a deep voice.
"I'll send you the address later!" the man warned, "Remember, come alone."
After waiting for a few minutes, my phone vibrated and I sent the address on it. I was at the "Kumho Hotel" in Hanzhou. Su Tao knew very well that the other party must have been waiting for his return from Russia and planned the storm.
Su Tao was afraid that Lu Shimiao and Qin Meimei were worried about her, so he used the excuse that Sanweitang had an urgent matter to deal with, so he drove the Volkswagen CC alone to the "Kumho Hotel". Halfway through the car, a few muffled thunder sounded at the sky, and it soon started to rain heavily.
The rain column hit the windshield, blocking her vision, and Su Tao was also a little uneasy...
In room 8032 of the Kumho Hotel, a man in a blue shirt was sitting on a chair, holding a bottle of white wine and a bag of peanuts in plastic bags. He had drunk most of the white wine, and half of the peanuts had left. He subconsciously touched his chest, and the U-plate was still there.
The doorbell rang, and the man suddenly became nervous because according to the time he called Su Tao, he could not have arrived here in such a short time. He walked carefully to the door and looked out through the cat's eyes. A girl in an exposed dress was constantly ringing the doorbell.
If it were normal circumstances, he would definitely consider enjoying this flying encounter, but at this moment he was in a special period and he was in a mood.
The girl was still ringing the doorbell constantly. The man sighed secretly, opened the crack of the door, and said in a deep voice: "Stop pressing!"
"Sir, do you want to serve?" The girl is tall, with smooth lines, with a delicate face, smiling at the corners of her mouth, and captivating.
"No need!" The man refused the girl's request despite his heart's worries.
"Don't be so cruel, let me come in and sit down. I'll dance for you first. If you are not satisfied, I will never disturb you!" The girl turned around in the same circle and fiddled with a few dancing postures, enchanting and charming.
Under the influence of alcohol, the man was a little confused. He opened the door and stared at the girl's body with lust. He swept it again and again.
Seeing the successful convinced the man, the girl smiled charmingly, squeezed into the room skillfully, and pressed on the man.
The man was about to say, "Hurry, I'll see another person later."
Suddenly, he found a severe pain in his chest, and took two steps back in disbelief, and subconsciously lowered his head, and found a dagger piercing his chest about an inch, gushing blood.
