Exclusive | Chu Xueyou responded to the "monthly salary of five thousand should not eat Xibei" storm: all the guests who come are guests, and there is no income

Recently, Xibei Catering has once again been pushed to the cusp of public opinion due to the "price increase comments".

On the evening of January 9, some netizens noticed that Chu Xueyou, former vice president of Xibei, had forwarded a weibo message about the price increase of Haidilao and Xibei dishes in April 2020, which said that the reason why haidilao and Xibei prices caused such a big public opinion backlash was because it offended 95% of Weibo's netizens with monthly incomes of less than 5,000 yuan.

This incident fermented until the evening of January 10, and Xibei once again appeared on Weibo's hot search due to the "price increase" problem, which caused dissatisfaction among many netizens. Subsequently, Chu Xueyou publicly apologized on Weibo, saying that his remarks were inappropriate.

The next day, in an interview with the Blue Whale reporter, Chu Xueyou also expressed his views: "The catering industry, opening the door to do business, comes to the guests. There is no income division. ”

In addition, Yu Xin, director of public relations of Xibei, also responded through the media that Jacky Chu had left Xibei at the end of September 2020, so the weibo did not represent Xibei's position. At the same time, he said: "I hope that all customers can come to Xibei to eat, we will not divide customers into classes, ages, regions, occupations, etc." In addition, Xibei currently has no new price increase plans, and any change in the price of the store requires strict approval by the headquarters.

In fact, this is not the first time that Sibei has been on the hot search because of "price increases". During the epidemic in the first half of 2020, after the catering industry resumed dine-in, Xibei had caused dissatisfaction among consumers due to price increases, and then its chairman Jia Guolong issued a Weibo apology and announced that starting today, the prices of all takeaway and dine-in dishes with increased prices would be restored to the standard before the store closed on January 26, 2020.
