Recently, an illegal tasting incident from Fat Donglai's internal employees caused an uproar on the Internet.
Some good netizens have condemned Fat Donglai and his employees for acting like this, making the majority of dining staff take the risk of being "unclean".
After public opinion followed the trend and fermented, the person in charge of Fat Donglai came out to respond, saying that the meal cooked by this employee was not for customers, but for internal employees and for Fat Donglai employees.
Subsequently, the person in charge did not have any justification for this matter, but directly and clearly accepted the criticism of netizens, and then designated the incident as a serious food processing safety accident and dealt with the personnel involved.
However, even so, some netizens did not let go of Fat Donglai, but continued to expand public opinion by holding on to the matter.
In the Internet era, the horror of the war of words is enough to ruin any thriving enterprise.
And this also shows to a certain extent that some netizens are too idle and crazy, if anything, no matter how big or small, is infinitely amplified by people on the Internet.
So, over time, who would dare to say that under such an environmental influence, he can still be a "normal person" with a normal view of right and wrong and normal thinking?
Public opinion ferments
Lotus monosodium glutamate is a brand that many Chinese people are familiar with, many years ago, it was also like today's fat Donglai, is the existence of people repeatedly admired.
However, after the essence of chicken entered the market, Lotus monosodium glutamate was constantly exposed to the presence of ingredients that harm human health.
Although it has long been proven that Lotus monosodium glutamate is harmless, under the fermentation of public opinion, it will never return to its former glory.
Lotus monosodium glutamate, which once occupied most of the market in China, finally fell into a situation with no sense of existence.
As the so-called tree moves the wind, Lotus MSG is like this, and so is Fat Donglai.
Fat Donglai is a local enterprise located in Xuchang, Henan Province, due to the management model and large flow of people, over the years, it will occupy the first place in the hot search from time to time.
Netizens in many areas, after seeing the price and service model of Fat Donglai, also issued requests that Fat Donglai can settle in their own cities.
Maybe it's because the wind reviews are too good, in the Spring Festival of 2024, the gold jewelry counter of Fat Donglai will be sold out directly.
Because after the empty gold jewelry appeared on the hot search, netizens who had not been to Fat Donglai also became more curious about Fat Donglai.
Some netizens even claimed that they must find a chance to go to Xuchang, not for anything else, just to feel the charm of Fat Donglai.
What people never expected was that when Fat Donglai was praised on the Internet, a candid video broke the tranquility.
On February 15, an anonymous netizen exposed such a video on the Internet.
In the video, a woman wearing a fat Donglai employee uniform, when cooking rice in the back kitchen, tasted the saltiness of the noodles with chopsticks, and then, without cleaning the chopsticks, she stirred the rice in the pot with the chopsticks in her hand.
After the video was released, netizens were not calm in an instant, and came out to accuse and denounce Fat Donglai.
After learning of this incident, Fat Donglai immediately investigated the cause of the incident, and after finding out that it was indeed the case, he decisively made the decision to fire and punish the employees involved.
But obviously, some netizens didn't buy it, but grasped this point and continued to condemn Fat Donglai.
However, many netizens also stood up and said that there is no need to seize this matter, because, when eating out, who dares to guarantee that no chef has tasted the salty taste of the food they eat.
What would it be like if everybody had to think about it, and everybody ran to the back kitchen to stare at the chef while they were eating?
It is certainly wrong for the people involved in Fat Donglai not to follow the rules, but they will not force people into "death" because of this incident.
And the most important thing is that as soon as Fat Donglai found out, he immediately dealt with this matter and gave the public an explanation, and this matter should end here.
Fat Donglai himself will prevent this incident from happening again for the sake of overall reputation, and some peer businesses will also standardize their employees because of the impact of this matter.
It can be said that such an ending is a relatively good ending for both consumers and merchants.
However, those netizens who did not admit their accounts and continued to make trouble made people see their "ulterior motives".
Have an axe to grind
Fat Donglai has a good reputation and a hot business, and in the business world, it is inevitable that he will share more of the benefit cake.
This means that other people will get a lot less cake, "the world is bustling for profit", once the cake of interests is disputed, then business war can not be avoided.
Just like the current situation of Lotus MSG mentioned at the beginning of the article, that is the result of the business war.
Nowadays, most of the people who have the intention to guide the public opinion of Fat Donglai's kitchen incident are just to ruin Fat Donglai's reputation.
If these people who have the intention to guide public opinion continue to go crazy, then even if they can't shake the foundation of Fat Donglai, they will have a certain impact on it.
After all, most people can't avoid it, just like a fake thing, if there are more people who say it, then in the end, there will be more people who believe it, and what is false will become true.
In the long run, many people will lose the ability to analyze right and wrong, and become less "normal" people.
It can be said that biased incidents caused by public opinion are not uncommon.
The well-known actor Zhou Yiwei has been abused by netizens for a long time because of his wife Zhu Dan's deviation in expressing the feelings of husband and wife to the outside world.
In the end, it was in the variety show that after the audience saw the real situation of the two getting along and Zhu Dan's expression ability, they found out that they had misunderstood Zhou Yiwei all along.
With the reversal of Monday's Weifeng comment, those viewers who once thought he was not a good husband also became his guilt fans in an instant because of guilt.
It can be seen that it is easy to stir up people's emotions and thoughts by relying on the words of others before they see them with their own eyes.
And this kind of thing is an innumerable thing, but as everyone knows, public opinion can save people if it is used well, and it will harm people if it is not used well.
As it is often said, no snowflake is innocent during an avalanche.
This is also a drawback left behind after the booming development of the Internet.
Therefore, in the Internet era, we should always be vigilant to ourselves, not to follow the crowd, but to have the ability to distinguish right from wrong.
You can't be used as a gun unknowingly!
