Chapter 546: Counterattack

The smear campaign against Feng Yiping and his book in the newspapers gradually died down.

The reason was that both those who published the smear campaign against Feng Yiping and the newspapers that published these articles hoped that Feng Yiping would stand up and refute them.

Unfortunately, one cannot make a sound with one slap. Feng Yiping, a 20-year-old university student, is too composed and does not play by the rules.

The experts and professors, seeing that their painstakingly written articles did not receive a single response from Feng Yiping, gave up after a few attempts, because not only did they not receive any royalties for publishing such articles, they also had to spend money on doing so.

A few of them cursed in their hearts, 'What the hell, aren't young people at this age the most hot-tempered? How can they face such critical voices and remain indifferent?'

Haha, they really don't know who Feng Yiping is, and they don't know how cunning Feng Yiping is. They want him to engage in a war of words with them in the newspaper, raising their popularity and value. What a dream!

But the biggest dream they have is to bully Feng Yiping!

Hey, hey! Have they forgotten that the anger of young people is really fierce? He really is not the type to take a beating and a scolding without fighting back.

If it were really an academic discussion, then it would be fine, but since their intention is to use Feng Yiping to gain fame, how could Comrade Feng Yiping just ignore it?

Especially since some people's articles are not directed at Feng Yiping's book, but at Feng Yiping personally. How could such people just be let off the hook like that without being punished?

Although his parents had taught him since childhood to 'return respect for others with respect', Feng Yiping added two more words of his own: 'If someone steps on me, I will step on them ten times over.'

Some things Feng Yiping would not refrain from doing, but he would not do them at the pace they expected. As for how to do it, the chairman was right: when the enemy advances, we retreat. He also said, 'You fight your way, I fight mine.'

So, after those smear campaigners had no choice but to stop their actions, Feng Yiping's counterattack began. It was just like a tree that wants to be still, but the wind just won't stop.

The beginning of the prelude was the Dacheng Law Firm in Guangzhou, which received two more confidential investigation commissions from Feng Yiping.

Before long, several newspapers published an article at the same time, detailing the life trajectory of Cheng Da Shi, who claimed to be the number one self-help guru, and revealing the layers and layers of carefully polished and packaged clothing.

In short, he had been abroad for many years and had achieved nothing, so he had no choice but to go to the island to find opportunities. Unexpectedly, this desperate move turned out to be his best opportunity.

In his books and training courses, he called on his students, whom he didn't know, to hug each other and encourage each other with flirty words. In practice, these exaggerated and externalised communication methods, such as persistent phone calls to say hello, visits, conversations and empathy, greatly shocked people who were used to communicating in the traditional Chinese way.

They were shocked, impressed, and cautiously tried it out, and then gained an unprecedented spiritual pleasure from it. In the end, they became his fans, so Master Cheng's book became a bestseller on the Treasure Island bestseller list, and the fees for his training courses also rose.

However, Master Cheng was not satisfied with the money he earned from publishing books and teaching classes. After establishing a sense of trust with some of his students, he teamed up with others to fabricate a project, and then used this project as an excuse to raise nearly 50 million yuan in financing from these students, who were actually more successful than he was.

It can be imagined that these investments of course quickly went down the drain. The project that the master advocated soon came to a halt, but at this time, Master Cheng not only failed to honour his previous promise to return the principal, but also sued some of his students in court... This made those students who had originally come to him to learn about success experience first-hand what failure is.

Not enough. Although he made a fortune, he had ruined his brand in Taiwan. But it didn't matter, he had just moved to the mainland, where the market potential was even greater, and was still copying his previous formula.

After this report came out, Master Cheng successfully made the headlines. However, just as Feng Yiping didn't like to be in the entertainment section of the headlines, Master Cheng naturally didn't want to be in the headlines because of his character, because his character was his Achilles heel.

As a mentor, he sanctimoniously teaches people how to behave and what to do, but in the end, his students discover that he is just a lying, despicable man. Who would want to take his class?

No matter how Master Cheng defends himself and how much he screams about suing, the truth will eventually come out. Although it is not as easy to obtain relevant information on the internet as it is today, there are still a lot of people travelling between the mainland and Taiwan, and anyone who cares to ask can find out whether this report is true or not.

Soon, this person, who claimed to be devoting his life, not to his own benefit, but to helping the 1.3 billion Chinese people, to make everyone successful, and who had already succeeded in getting people to take his courses, and who had made 1 million yuan within three months and become an overnight sensation, disappeared without a trace.

As for the other 'master of applied Chinese studies' who wanted to usurp Feng Yiping, he didn't fare much better.

Similarly, several newspapers published articles that analysed in detail the 'master's' vague and confusing resume.

When he was young, he went to the south to work hard, but achieved nothing. However, he was attracted to a multi-level marketing group. After he quit, he felt that this industry had a bright future, so he went to the northeast to develop his multi-level marketing business. He was later wanted by the police and fled to the south, where he went into hiding for a few years. After the storm passed, he changed his name and, through a series of packaging, became a 'master of the application of Chinese studies'.

Once this report came out, Master Qu didn't even bother to come forward and refute it.

Two days later, his training institution was already deserted, and Master Qu, who was in Hong Kong at the time, was planning his comeback. Just like Master Cheng, he kept wondering how someone could be so mean to him.

They never dreamed that these things that had happened to him were connected to that college student who they had wanted to step on to get ahead and who had so far said nothing.

These two people were easy to deal with, but the experts, Feng Yiping, took some effort.

Of course, he would not step forward himself, as that would play right into their hands.

At first, he thought about whether to find a respected old professor at the university to speak out for him once and crush the so-called 'experts' who wanted to become famous. After much consideration, he gave up on this plan.

Firstly, from the perspective of outsiders, a professor from Tsinghua University publishing a rebuttal article would be seen as defending his students; secondly, respectable and venerable old professors generally do not take the initiative to participate in these debates, and Feng Yiping did not want to damage his image as a good student in the minds of his teachers.

Finally, before the Commercial Press was about to publish Blue Ocean Strategy, a well-known expert from a research institute in Shanghai who had his own financial column and often appeared on television published an article in the newspaper.

Of course, Feng Yiping had to pay a small price for the expert to publish such an article, which caused him to feel a little down in the dumps for a couple of days.

However, because he was paid, the expert read Feng Yiping's book in detail and, with reference to some of the ideas Feng Yiping had provided, wrote a very persuasive article.

He analysed several characteristics of the Blue Ocean Strategy one by one, and finally concluded that the core of the Blue Ocean Strategy is innovation. Without naming them, he criticised the views of those unknown experts who were alarmists and even created textual violence.

Those unknown experts who wanted to become famous had finally got a response, and of course they would not give up. They were preparing to engage in a few rounds of debate in the newspapers when an outsider entered the fray to help. The bosses of several well-known domestic companies published articles in the newspapers praising the Blue Ocean Strategy.

The praise of well-known entrepreneurs is more persuasive than the articles of well-known experts. This is equivalent to being attacked from two sides. Luo and Ma's experts have been hit from both sides, and their faces are slapped.

Not only did he not successfully increase his reputation, his reputation in the industry has become even worse than before.

Which angel sent someone to help me? Feng Yiping really couldn't figure it out.

Then he received a phone call from the Commercial Press. It turned out that these off-field players were the result of the Commercial Press's activities.

After hanging up the phone, Feng Yiping couldn't help but praise, 'These are good teammates!'

Moreover, the Commercial Press, with its deep background and abundant resources, had not stopped there. In order to promote the book, they had arranged a series of TV interviews for Feng Yiping, and the first one was with Capital TV.
