Chapter 930: Chapter 930: Resistance _1 Chapter 930: Chapter 930: Resistance _1 “Most of them had formed close relationships with the Kirk Family.”
Such connections could not be easily swayed by others.”
Scripts for the person who would take over Jenny Kirk’s role involved dealing with a boatload of issues and they certainly wouldn’t be able to control their subordinates in a short amount of time.”
If they were permanently replacing Jenny Kirk, it wouldn’t be so bad.”
But if it was only a temporary assignment.”
No one would want to take on such a thankless task.”
That’s why, from any angle you look at it, the Company wouldn’t keep Jenny Kirk idle for too long.”
She would inevitably be reassigned to her original position.”
When the Company promoted Jenny Kirk, they were not only looking at her individual capacity.”
What mattered more was that Jenny Kirk had the backing of the Kirk Family and connections in the Hearth Nation.”
And with the Company’s engagements in the Hearth Nation in regard to the International Culinary Competition, things would be more convenient.”
If not for this, considering the mistakes Jenny Kirk had made.”
Even if they didn’t know about the backlash and boycott from users of The Hearth Nation’s internet, the Company wouldn’t have been so lenient on Jenny Kirk.”
The Company is not a charity and they had been very tolerant of Jenny Kirk’s mistakes.”
Although Jenny Kirk was unhappy about the news from her colleague, she knew, this was already a lenient punishment for her.”
Jenny Kirk ended the call with her colleague frustration.
Little did she know, things were far from over.”
The employees of the Company hosting the event opened their emails and were shocked to find their mailboxes completely full overnight!”
The Company’s mail server had a large bandwidth.”
How many emails flooded in to fill it up?”
It was perfectly fine on Friday when they left work.”
When they opened their emails, they were all complaints.”
The first one on the list was sent by a user in the Hearth Nation.”
It was a clip from the Pingla Culinary Competition, a segment primarily featuring Jenny Kirk, and even provided subtitles for convenience.”
Looking at the overflowing inbox, the employee was overwhelmed.”
They had to go through them one by one.”
Many emails were actually the same.”
The users copied and pasted templates and terms.”
But despite this, the emails needed to be read.”
And amidst the heap, there were certainly unique messages.”
They could ignore the duplicates.”
This sped up the process a bit.”
So, they managed to get through dozens of emails in no time.”
Later on, they skipped over emails with similar titles first, and focused on those with different headings.
This strategy proved to be more efficient.”
Once the mailbox was full, other work related emails can’t come in.” 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
It really delayed a lot of work.”
The employee quickly sorted out these emails and reported to the Secretary General.”
“Internet users in the Hearth Nation are all saying that if we don’t sanction Jenny Kirk, they will boycott our competition.” The employee reported.”
The Secretary General’s expression turned solemn: “Send all inboxes to me, and I will discuss with Lucas Johnson.”
“Yes, Sir.”
After receiving the emails, the Secretary General went to meet Lucas Johnson.”
Lucas was perplexed, wondering what on earth was happening today.
It had only been an hour and the Secretary General had already visited him twice.”
“What happened?” Lucas asked.”
“It’s about Jenny again.” The Secretary General replied.”
Jenny, which was the name Jenny Kirk was called in the Company.”
The Company has employees from all over the world.”
Because it is an international organization.”
So, people of all races and nationalities are represented.”
To present the fairness of the hosts of International Culinary Competition, they do not discriminate on the basis of nationality, race or ethnicity.”
But most of the people spoke English as their native language.”
Even if someone is of the Hearth Nation, most were born here or immigrated when they were young.”
They may not understand Chinese well.”
Of course, there are also those from the Hearth Nation who studied here and chose to stay instead of going back.”
But because the main language in the Company is English.”
Even if an employee is from the Hearth Nation and has a Chinese name, they would still need to have an English name to facilitate communication.”
“Not only did the Pingla Company lodge a complaint against us, but users from the Hearth Nation also wrote us complaint emails about boycotting us.” The Secretary General said.”
“Is it just some internet users, and it’s worth of your solemn?” Lucas didn’t realize the severity of the situation.”
“It’s more than just some users, the amount of complaint emails we received today, has completely jammed our Company’s external email server.
New emails can’t get in anymore.” The Secretary General said, “You should know, how many people wrote emails!”
“if the mailbox can only receive this amount of emails.
Then how many users sent emails, but they couldn’t get through because the mailbox was already full?”
“This figure only accounts for strong-willed users who went and lodged a complaint.
...
How many users decided to silently boycott us, because they find filing a complaint too troublesome and didn’t email us?”
“There are a huge number of internet users in the Hearth Nation.
It’s an incredibly large market.
If these users decide to boycott us, the losses we would incur are immeasurable!”
“For years, our Cooking Competition has valued the Hearth Nation’s market greatly.
The population size is large there, and the market is vast.
The demand for our derivative products is robust and the digestion is quick.
In terms of fan base, nowhere could beat the Hearth Nation.”
“Not to mention the entertainment industry, actors, TV series, if they failed in their own country, as long as they made it in the Hearth Nation, they could continue filming sequels and the actors could continue earning money.”
It showed how important the vast market of Hearth Nation was to them.”
“For our Cooking Competition, the majority of our sponsors, including headlights, have been from the Hearth Nation.”
A struggle is needed to become a headline sponsor.”
Sponsors will only appear at certain times during the competition.”
This can be through commentary from the host or embedded advertising, plus occasionally appearing logos on the screen.”
But headline sponsorships are different.”
They would appear constantly throughout the Competition.”
From the beginning till the end, it has a strong presence.”
And so naturally, this is the most effective form of advertising.”
Of course, it also requires the advertisers to invest the most.”
“For an entry into the international market, companies from Hearth Nation are willing to spend money.” The Secretary General said.”
They also care about the international reputation, not just satisfied with the domestic market.”
Even sometimes, they overestimate the international market.”
They believe worldwide fame equates to prestige, reputation, and money.”
Little did they know, the Hearth Nation’s market is what we value the most.”
“But if a large-scale boycott by internet users occurs, causing a boycott towards our sponsors, making our International Cooking Competition a high-risk brand.
This will make the sponsors cautious when investing in us.”
