zhou hongyi: i wanted to comfort yu minhong but was cyberbullied

according to a video posted on weibo by zhou hongyi, founder and chairman of 360 group, zhou hongyi said,i saw yu minhong being subjected to a huge amount of online violence a while ago, and i wanted to comfort him. "when i saw that you were in better condition than me, i wanted to ask you how you could maintain this state of mind as if nothing had happened?"

in this regard,yu minhong responded that he would care about it, but more often he would think about the impact of these events on his career layout. "if this thing is what you want to do and there is no way to do it, then you have to find a way to change it. but if it doesn't have much impact on what you want to do, then why should you care? what you have to do is to focus on what you want to do."

yu minhong said that he is focusing on running new oriental and oriental selection well and taking care of his personal life. so far, these have not been greatly affected by the public opinion on the internet. "we are concerned about the society's view of us, but overall, i think as long as you move forward in the direction you want to develop, you should not be affected."

in addition, yu minhong also said,whether someone praises you, compliments you, scolds you, slanders you, or insults you, you should not change because of these things. if you change yourself because of these things, it actually shows that your concentration is not strong enough.

at the end of july this year, dong yuhui resigned from dongfang selection. at the same time, beijing new oriental xuncheng network technology co., ltd. sold 100% of the shares of huitongxing to dong yuhui, which aroused widespread public attention. at that time, zhou hongyi released a video to talk about this matter. zhou hongyi said that too many people are keyboard warriors and do not understand the inner things. "we have information asymmetry. we don't actually know how dong yuhui and yu minhong discuss, how they make decisions, and what ideas they have. many people accuse both parties based on their own speculations. some blame lao yu, and some criticize dong yuhui. anyway, i don't agree with all kinds of sensational headlines for traffic. i think since the two have worked together, achieved each other, and achieved good interim results, today due to various reasons, friendly negotiations and decent breakup, i think it may be the best result for both parties at present. since both of them accept it, we should bless them, and this breakup is not an end. in fact, it is a new beginning for the career development and life of both parties."

in addition, zhou hongyi also supported yu minhong, saying that he could understand yu minhong's decision, "i think mr. yu did a very good job and was very generous."

oriental selection, continuous rumor refutation

on august 26, oriental selection issued a statement to refute several false statements.

first, dongfang zhenxuan has never organized the so-called "12 studios, more than 3,000 people, more than 60,000 accounts on various platforms, and a total consumption of more than 8,000,000", and "mobilizing all employees and relatives" to discredit dong yuhui. dongfang zhenxuan has obtained evidence for this rumor and will report it to the relevant authorities.

secondly, in response to dong yuhui’s remarks that he would “use the reward money to buy back yuhui tongxing”, oriental selection stated that all the funds for dong yuhui to acquire the “yuhui tongxing” company would be arranged by new oriental education group in addition to all the rewards given to dong yuhui.

third, in response to the statement that "yu minhong cashed out 800 million at a high price", oriental selection stated that since oriental selection went public, yu minhong has never cashed out his stocks personally. instead, he has been increasing his holdings of oriental selection stocks and is full of confidence in the company's long-term development.

on the evening of august 27, oriental selection continued to clarify.

recently, self-media such as "storyteller tutu" and "fairy zixia" maliciously fabricated rumors based on the content of dongfang zhenxuan's financial report, saying that "a certain selection site wants to collect money from local areas", "collect publicity fees from local governments", "dong yuhui blocked boss yu's financial path", etc. dongfang zhenxuan stated that the amount disclosed in the financial report is not "publicity fees" collected from local cultural and tourism industries, but a compliant and legal tax subsidy. it also includes the relevant subsidies applied for by "traveling with youhui" (already deposited into the "traveling with youhui" account).

dongfang zhenxuan said that since july 2022, it has held provincial-level outdoor live broadcast special events in 23 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in china. during this period, dongfang zhenxuan has never charged so-called "promotion fees" from local governments, nor has it charged "pit fees" from any companies or businesses.

on the evening of august 27, yu minhong posted another article on his personal social platform to supplement the rumor-refuting statement released by oriental selection on august 26.

yu minhong mentioned in the article that he is not an investor of phoenix finance. in addition, after the separation of "traveling with hui" from dongfang selection, some former employees, teachers, managers and some outsiders who have left new oriental discussed and commented on the incident online. the above views have nothing to do with yu minhong. yu minhong has never provided any money, information, authorization or instructions to anyone regarding the above incident.

regarding the "gating" issue, yu minhong said that the divestiture contract has some customary confidentiality requirements for the terms of the transaction between the two parties, but it does not prohibit either party from answering questions or accepting interviews outside the confidentiality clause, nor does it prohibit either party from responding to external slander or rumors. yu minhong said that he and dong yuhui had fully communicated, and both parties can freely respond, complain, sue or call the police for false information and rumors.

yu minhong called on "walking with hui" and oriental selection to develop in a harmonious and inclusive environment, and to continue to work hard to provide users with high-quality content, products and services.
