Chapter 276 Huang Zheng Pinduoduo

Emperor Zhenwu said with a smile, "My dear daughter, you have to take a good look at Huang Zheng. Pinduoduo, founded by that guy, has emerged as a dark horse in this e-commerce market, just like a flash of lightning that suddenly appeared in the dark night, blinding everyone. He has a unique business mindset and innovative model, just like the protagonist of a game who has turned on cheats and is speeding all the way. Pinduoduo has rushed out like a dark horse and has made a name for itself in this fiercely competitive e-commerce world."

Emperor Zhenwu raised his chin slightly, his eyes sparkling with excitement, as if he was showing his daughter a rare treasure. "Just think about it, Pinduoduo has made it possible for more people to enjoy affordable goods. What a great contribution this is! In the past, when people bought things, they always thought the prices were ridiculously expensive. Now with Pinduoduo, the prices are simply dirt cheap. No matter what it is, you can find cheap and good products on Pinduoduo. Huang Zheng's ability and wisdom should not be underestimated. He is like the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, extremely smart."

The more Zhenwu Emperor spoke, the more excited he became, waving his hands unconsciously. "Pinduoduo's development speed is so fast. It's like riding a rocket, and it has quickly become the leader in the e-commerce market. Huang Zheng is such a great guy. His innovative model allows everyone to participate and enjoy the fun of shopping together. It's like a grand party, and everyone can find their own happiness on Pinduoduo."

However, Mizukage snorted, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face. Her beautiful face showed a trace of seriousness, and she said slowly: "Dad, although Pinduoduo has developed rapidly, I don't deny that. But there are also many problems. Let's talk about the quality of the goods on the platform first. The quality is simply uneven, just like the lottery, you never know what you will buy. Sometimes you buy something, it looks beautiful in the picture, but when you receive the goods, the quality is so bad that it makes you want to cry. The problem of fake goods is more prominent, isn't this cheating people!"

Mizukage frowned slightly, with worry in his eyes. "Now, many people are very nervous when buying things on Pinduoduo. They are afraid that they will buy fakes or things of poor quality. If it is a daily necessities, it is okay, but if it is an electronic product, if the quality is not good, it will be troublesome. Pinduoduo needs to work hard on the quality of its products."

Mizukage walked gently to the window, looking at the clouds in the distance, with a hint of annoyance in his tone. "The bargaining in Pinduoduo is simply a modern version of "mental harassment". It's like a ghost that won't go away, always pestering people. The link flies to you like snowflakes, asking you to help bargain. Hey, you don't bargain? It takes advantage of your embarrassment and makes you feel like a cat scratching your heart. If you bargain, you will fall into the endless black hole of time. How can this be marketing? This is a blatant robbery of people's time and patience. It is purely a rubbish method, revealing a disgusting shrewdness. And the advertisements are like psoriasis, everywhere, pervasive, and just short of drilling into people's eyes. I really want to sweep them away with a broom. Pinduoduo is a complete loser in marketing. It needs to reflect on itself and stop doing these annoying things."

Mizukage turned around and looked at Emperor Zhenwu with a firm look in his eyes. "The son-in-law I want must be honest and trustworthy, and someone who makes his way in the world with real ability. As for Huang Zheng, he has to sort out Pinduoduo first. Otherwise, Dame!"

After listening to his daughter's words, Emperor Zhenwu fell into deep thought. He had to admit that his daughter's words made some sense. Although Pinduoduo has developed rapidly, it does have some problems.

Emperor Zhenwu said slowly: "My daughter, you are right. We cannot only see one side of things and ignore the other side. Pinduoduo really needs to work harder on product quality and marketing methods to better serve people."

In the human world, Pinduoduo's influence is everywhere. In daily life, more and more people choose to shop on Pinduoduo. Pinduoduo's rich variety of goods and affordable prices have attracted a large number of consumers.

A consumer named Xiao Li said helplessly, "Pinduoduo is a place where things are really cheap, and you can get something with a very high cost-effectiveness from time to time. But we have to be honest, it's a trap, and it's a sure thing. The quality of the goods is like a seizure, sometimes good, sometimes bad, there is no standard. Fake goods? Hey, they are not uncommon! Pinduoduo needs to take good care of itself and stop letting us consumers jump around in this quality minefield. It needs to improve the quality of its goods and stop just using fancy things."

Another consumer, Xiao Wang, also shouted: "Pinduoduo's marketing method is too fucked up! It always asks me to help cut down the price, like a ghost who is asking for my life. I am almost annoyed by this thing. Let alone the advertisements, which are like dog-skin plasters, pasted everywhere. There is no place to hide even if you want to. It penetrates everywhere! Pinduoduo should change this bad habit and stop using these despicable means to torment people. Do they really think that we consumers are easy to bully?"

Hey, do you know Huang Zheng of Pinduoduo? Pinduoduo, which he created, is really a "big scam". In this world of consumption, it is like a troublemaker everywhere. It uses the guise of low prices, like a bait, to trick countless people into its shopping trap. But you see, behind this, it is full of consumers' grievances and curses.

Let's talk about the unlucky Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang, an honest middle-aged man, usually likes to browse around on Pinduoduo when he has nothing to do, hoping to get a bargain. Once, the lucky draw advertisement on the homepage of Pinduoduo was like a big bomb, which made Lao Zhang dizzy. The prizes in the advertisement, such as the latest mobile phones and high-end home appliances, dazzled Lao Zhang's eyes, like a huge magnet, hooking Lao Zhang's greed. Lao Zhang thought to himself, although my luck is not very good, what if? If I win this, I will make a fortune. Now Lao Zhang is like a possessed person. He goes to the lucky draw at a fixed time and place every day like punching in at work, and completes those messy lucky draw tasks, and pulls relatives and friends to help. What's the result? Every time he draws, he either gets some trivial coupons or another lucky draw, which is a trick to fool ghosts. Zhang felt like he was chasing a ghost that didn't exist at all. The lottery was a well-designed scam, like a super-large pie was drawn in front of Zhang's eyes, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only watch and couldn't get anything. Isn't it obvious that Zhang is being treated like a fool? The more Zhang thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that his time and energy were being trampled under the feet of Pinduoduo. Pinduoduo's lottery took advantage of people's weakness of wanting to take advantage of small gains and hoping for luck, making everyone waste their feelings in this fake lottery game, and finally feel disappointed, like they had eaten a fly.

Let's talk about Lao Zhao. He is an online shopping veteran who has been on various shopping platforms. But Pinduoduo's after-sales service really opened his eyes. Once, Lao Zhao bought an electronic device on Pinduoduo. When he got it, he saw that it was broken. Lao Zhao thought, don't worry, there is after-sales service. Then he went to Pinduoduo customer service, and it was like opening the door to hell. At first, the customer service pretended to be a decent person and asked Lao Zhao to talk about the problem politely. Lao Zhao was so detailed that he explained the equipment failure clearly, and he was looking forward to the customer service to give a solution such as replacement or refund. But the next operation of the customer service was so angry that Lao Zhao exploded on the spot. The customer service asked Lao Zhao to provide this proof for a while, and then said that they would discuss it with the merchant, and then began to shirk responsibility in various ways, like a Tai Chi master, kicking Lao Zhao's problem like a ball. Lao Zhao was exhausted and felt like he was fighting a wall of cotton. It was only then that Lao Zhao realized that Pinduoduo's after-sales service was a piece of shit. It was not to solve the problem for consumers at all, but to "digest" the consumers' problems so that consumers would have no choice but to give up their rights. At this point, Lao Zhao's impression of Pinduoduo plummeted. He felt that shopping on this platform was like walking on a tightrope. There was no guarantee and he could fall to his death at any time.

Lao Qian was also furious. Lao Qian is a person who values ​​privacy. Pinduoduo created Pinxiaoquan, and Lao Qian didn't take it seriously at first. But later, he found that Pinxiaoquan was like a thief hiding in the dark, always staring at him. This thing automatically sends out information about what he bought and recommends some inexplicable people to him. Lao Qian felt like he was running naked on the street, with no privacy at all. He didn't understand why Pinduoduo did this? Do consumers deserve to have no privacy when shopping on this platform? Lao Qian wanted to turn off some functions of Pinxiaoquan, but the operation was extremely complicated, and even if he set various privacy options, there were still information leaks. This made Lao Qian very angry. He felt that Pinduoduo did not treat consumers as human beings at all, and for the sake of those social functions and commercial interests, it wantonly trampled on consumers' privacy space. He even suspected that Pinduoduo would sell these shopping data to other companies to make another fortune. This made Lao Qian less and less trusting of Pinduoduo, just like looking at a liar.

Lao Sun loves to eat fruits. When he saw that Pinduoduo’s fruits were cheap, he was tempted. He thought, since it’s so cheap, why not buy some to try. What happened? When he received the fruits, he almost fainted. As soon as he opened the package, a rotten smell hit him. Many of the fruits inside were rotten, moldy, and had worms. Lao Sun was so angry. He was looking forward to eating fresh fruits, but he received a pile of garbage. He took a closer look and found that the packaging was so simple that it didn’t protect the fruits at all. He went to the merchant, but the merchant’s attitude was perfunctory. He just said that he would pay a small amount of money to settle the matter. Lao Sun felt that Pinduoduo’s control over product quality was simply rubbish, especially for fresh fruits, which should be strictly controlled. You can’t ignore the quality just because it’s cheap. The quality is so unstable that every time consumers place an order, it’s like gambling. They don’t know whether they will receive a surprise or a shock. The shopping experience is completely ruined.

Lao Li has also suffered a lot of humiliation when shopping on Pinduoduo. He wanted to buy a piece of clothing and had some questions about the size and style, so he asked the merchant. What was the result? The message he sent was like falling into a black hole, and there was no response for a long time. The merchant finally replied, but it was also ambiguous and did not answer his question at all. When Lao Li asked again, the merchant became impatient and his attitude was very arrogant, as if Lao Li was deliberately looking for trouble. Lao Li felt so wronged. As a consumer, it was normal for him to ask a question, but the merchant's indifference made him lose all interest in this shopping. Moreover, he found that this situation was not an isolated case on Pinduoduo. Many merchants had no sense of service and did not take consumers into consideration at all. Lao Li felt that when shopping on Pinduoduo, he not only had to worry about the quality of the goods, but also had to endure the anger of the merchants. Isn't this just asking for trouble? He hoped that Pinduoduo could properly manage these merchants, improve the quality of service, and not let consumers suffer this humiliation.

Lao Zhou was also badly cheated by Pinduoduo. Lao Zhou is a careful person and he will read the product description carefully before shopping. But some of Pinduoduo's product descriptions are nonsense and exaggerated. Take the backpack he bought, for example. The product description said it had a large capacity and could hold a lot of things, and there were a bunch of beautiful pictures. But when Lao Zhou received the backpack, he found that it was pitifully small and could not hold many things at all, which was completely different from the description. Lao Zhou felt like he was slapped in the face and was deceived by Pinduoduo. This kind of false propaganda made Lao Zhou doubt the products on Pinduoduo. He felt that Pinduoduo had to manage the product descriptions well and not let merchants brag casually, otherwise consumers would easily fall into the trap and spend money in vain but still not be able to buy what they wanted. This seriously damaged the interests of consumers and also ruined Pinduoduo's shopping environment.

Old Wu also has a lot of complaints about Pinduoduo's limited-time flash sales. Old Wu likes to buy things quickly, and Pinduoduo's limited-time flash sales are very attractive to him. Every time he sees a product he likes on flash sales, he will be in front of his phone on time to prepare to grab it. But what is the result? Every time he is extremely disappointed. Either after clicking on the flash sale, the system always shows busy, no matter how he refreshes it, it is useless; or it shows that there is stock, but when he places an order, he is told that it is out of stock. Old Wu feels like he is being played by Pinduoduo. He suspects that Pinduoduo deliberately sets up these obstacles to prevent consumers from grabbing the products, just to create a false impression of popularity. Old Wu thinks this marketing method is too unethical, wasting consumers' time and energy, and making consumers completely lose confidence in Pinduoduo's activities. He hopes that Pinduoduo can do a good job of limited-time flash sales, give consumers a fair opportunity to buy, and stop using these false methods to deceive people.
