Chapter 965 The Tragic United Fruit Industry
"what to do?"
The negotiator on the phone turned and looked at the CEO.
"Call him." The CEO said with a dark face.
He has no other choice now. If he gives up now, all the money he had saved before will be wasted. The sunk cost is too high.
Make him give it a try.
Moreover, this resolution was passed by unanimous vote. Every director has responsibility and it cannot be blamed on him alone.
"clear."
Finance will start contacting to discuss transfer matters.
The money was transferred into the account and was taken away in an instant.
"These guys are so easy to fool. I should have asked for more."
Zhang Tuohai divided the money into two parts. One part was given to the farmers. Because each family suffered different losses, the compensation was also different. Although the compensation was not enough to offset the losses they had suffered over the years, it was at least some money back.
Much better than those farmers who were shot down by United Fruit.
As for the remaining part, it was invested in Zhang Tuohai's fund.
It’s not that Zhang Tuohai wants to swallow the money, but he needs to use the money to kill United Fruit Industry.
In any case, this time he used improper means to extort compensation from United Fruit. Legally speaking, United Fruit can collect the debt from him.
In order to avoid future troubles, it is better to beat the creditor to death.
How did you do it?
Zhang Tuohai used the foundation to organize an avocado lovers association and a group of idle young people to protest in front of United Fruit Industries holding banners.
“We want avocados!”
“Give us back our avocados!”
"Down with the tyranny of the United Fruit Industry. The world belongs to avocados!"
“Say no to the overpriced avocados!”
"Reject malicious purchase restrictions and price increases!"
A group of people were holding loud speakers and shouting slogans at the entrance of United Fruit, making it impossible for people in the building to concentrate on their work.
At the same time, several rumors began to spread widely on the Internet.
"The avocado producing area suffered a natural disaster, and the production has dropped sharply. The price of avocados is going to increase!"
"The avocado harvest is great, but United Fruit is destroying a large number of finished avocados in order to make high profits and artificially controlling production. Avocado prices are going to go up!"
"The project manager of the United Fruit production area embezzled the United Fruit acquisition funds. In order to fill this financial hole, the price of avocados will increase!"
"The sister-in-law of the chairman of United Fruit is addicted to gambling and has lost a huge amount of money. In order to make up for the loss, the price of avocados will increase!"
"United Fruit's transport ship sank in a hurricane. In order to make up for the loss, the price of avocados will increase!"
Online rumors, gossip from insiders who wish to remain anonymous, eavesdropping recordings in the locker room, screenshots of chat screens, secretly recorded video footage, all kinds of true and false news are spreading online. Anyway, there is only one core argument, which is that avocados are going to go up in price.
In order to make profits, a large group of capital such as United Fruit Corporation spent thirty years packaging avocados as a "healthy food" that is a must-have for every household. Various dishes would not be authentic enough without adding some avocados!
Therefore, avocado has almost become an indispensable part of the family, just like salt, sugar and bread.
The families in the Lighthouse Country cannot lose avocado, just like the 3D Zone cannot lose Tifa.
The price increase of avocados is absolutely unacceptable to them.
In order to cope with the price increase that may come at any time, a large number of residents began to rush to buy and hoard avocados.
Avocados in all supermarkets were sold out, not even a leaf was left. The level of madness was like the rush to buy toilet paper a few years ago.
Many businesses saw this crazy buying spree and immediately increased the prices of their goods in accordance with market rules.
This confirms the "rumor" that avocado prices are going to increase.
Those residents who were rushing to buy avocados were even more excited, some even drove to supermarkets dozens or hundreds of kilometers away just to grab a few avocados.
Some unscrupulous self-media saw this huge traffic and produced a large number of staged videos to attract traffic.
For example, "Shocking, avocados in a certain place have become an equivalent exchange item"
In the video, a young man bought a bag of avocados and exchanged them for a lot of vegetables, fruits, beef, cola, potato chips, fried chicken...
For example, "Shocking, a group of beautiful women are naked, just for..."
In the video, a man walks into a nightclub dragging an avocado. A large number of sexy girls with shining eyes surround the man, as if he is the brightest star in the nightclub. The focus of the video is always on the avocado in the man's hand.
These news once again fueled the trend and pushed avocado to the top.
Then, it became popular.
Many people from abroad also came forward and shared the prices of avocados in their area.
Everyone found that the price of avocados in all regions had indeed increased.
Then, the people of the Beacon Country, where conspiracy theories abound, began to think divergently.
Why have avocado prices increased in all regions of the world?
Answer: There are business giants who want to monopolize!
Although this inference is too arbitrary and has no theoretical or factual basis, it is helpless. The business tycoons in the Lighthouse Country do so many immoral things in their daily lives that when something bad happens, people will blame them .
"Anyway, no matter what went wrong, it must be a conspiracy by the business tycoons."
What should we do if they dare to raise prices?
procession!
The people of the Lighthouse Country once again held up signs and were led by guides to the entrance of United Fruit Company to protest.
United Fruit Company is in a state of confusion. Its avocados haven't arrived yet, and other companies are raising their prices. Why are you coming here to protest against me?
He hurriedly sent someone to explain.
However, they had done so many immoral things in their daily lives that when they sent people to explain, the public thought they were shirking responsibility and passing the buck, so the protests became even more intense.
Many angry people sold their United Fruit shares on the spot to vent their anger.
The stock price of United Fruit, which had been rising, began to fall.
At the same time, a lot of negative news about United Fruit Industry appeared on the Internet.
Some are large-scale changes in the company's senior management.
Some companies are about to lay off a large number of employees.
Some of the United Fruit Industry's cargo ships capsized and a large amount of cargo was damaged.
Some of the United Fruit Industry's estates suffered natural disasters and suffered serious production cuts.
If it were an ordinary day, maybe they would spend some money on , expose a few celebrity scandals, and the limelight would pass.
However, at this critical juncture, the media, which had always cooperated, was no longer obedient and unanimously pointed the finger at United Fruit and demanded an explanation from it.
United Fruit was overwhelmed with the situation, having to dispel the rumors and find evidence.
However, it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. The media has bombarded the public with rumors, and the public, who have preconceived ideas, are unwilling to believe them and began to sell off United Fruit shares on a large scale.
United Fruit's stock began to fall.
Seeing this situation, the hot money started shorting United Fruit's shares like sharks smelling blood.
The stock price of United Fruit Corporation plummeted like a dive from a high platform.
