Chapter 161 Prosecution and Counter-Prosecution of Ice Cream

As soon as this video was released, the number of likes soared rapidly, and soon broke through the 50W mark, surpassing Lu Jingjing.

And unlike Lu Jingjing, who is a resident reporter of Penguin News, the anchor's video is released on the entire network, and the number of likes on Kuaijiu has exceeded 200 million in a short period of time.

The comment section is also very active:

"Ice cream for 3 yuan a piece? Real or fake? Isn't this too cheap?"

"Seeing the anchor's video, I immediately ran to a nearby supermarket and bought a star ice cream.

I have to say, it's really delicious! "

"Same as above, and I have a picture to prove it; starry sky ice cream selfie picture.jpg!"

"@Upstairs, @楼Upstairs, why is there Starry Sky Ice Cream in the supermarket near your house, but not in the supermarket near my house?"

"It's not just the nearby supermarkets, I went through all the big supermarkets in Shacheng today, but I couldn't find any.

When a supermarket waiter saw me in the cold drink area, he immediately said no.

I wondered and asked her, I haven't spoken yet, how do you know what I want to ask?
As a result, she said that the people who came to the cold drink area today were all asking for Starry Sky Ice Cream and Starry Sky Ice Cream.

She rejected more than 200 customers within an hour, and her throat was refusing to smoke. "

"Wait, upstairs, are you from Shacheng?"

"Yup!"

"What do you people in Shacheng buy starry sky ice cream for?
The ice cream from the October Food Factory is prepared for those customers who eat barbecue, for fear that they will get angry.

With the amount on your Shacheng barbecue stick, there is no chance of getting angry! "

"Pfft, you guys are trying to laugh me to death."

"Hahahaha, old irons, what is this?"

"Damn, a whole box of starry sky ice cream? Where did you get it?"

"Dennis hypermarket, five items just arrived, I grabbed one first.

Then I felt that one was a little short and wanted to buy another one, but guess what?

Already sold out. "

"It's almost the same here. As soon as the starry sky ice cream is delivered, it will be gone within a minute."

"I said you guys, it's just an ice cream, is it worth being so crazy?"

"You don't understand, you think what we bought is ice cream?
wrong!
What we bought was the determination to boycott those sky-high ice creams! "

"But 3 yuan for a piece of ice cream and 5 yuan for a piece of ice cream are not cheap!"

"Surely you haven't eaten starry sky ice cream upstairs? It doesn't matter if you can't buy it. Turn left when you go out. Have you seen the Haagen-Dash cold drink shop?
Take out your phone, tell the waiter to order a scoop of ice cream, and earn him 40 bucks.

Keep your eyes closed... make sure you keep your eyes closed, don't ask me why, and take a bite out of a single ball of ice cream.

You are right, although the amount is a bit small, this is starry sky ice cream. "

"Don't make trouble upstairs. The reason why I bought a box of Xingkong ice cream is not because it tastes delicious, nor because it is cheap, but because October Food Factory is really a conscientious enterprise."

"The anchor has already mentioned the term conscientious enterprise in the video, so you don't need to continue talking about it."

"No, what I said didn't mean the same as what the host said.

Please take a look.picture.jpg! "

"Hey, what is this? It seems to be a salary table?"

"The upstairs guessed it right. This is the employee salary list of the October Food Factory last month, and it is also the salary list of the general workers in the workshop."

"No way? Zhang Xianfeng, 19520 yuan? Li Li, 22105 yuan?"

"That's why I say October Food Factory is a conscientious enterprise.

They are not only conscientious to customers, but also conscientious to employees.

My third uncle used to be a worker at the Risheng Food Factory, and he worked so hard every day for less than 3000 yuan a month.

Even so, wages were still often owed, especially during the half year when the Risheng Food Factory closed down, and the family was almost out of food.

During the Chinese New Year, he came to my house to visit relatives. The eldest uncle and the second uncle were chatting at the wine table.

Later, the Risheng Food Factory was bought by the owner of the Shiyue Food Factory because workers were needed to work. Although the third uncle was cowardly, he worked really hard.

So he was very lucky to be left behind.

guess what?He sent 22000 yuan in the first month, 24000 yuan in the second month, and 27134 yuan in the third month.

My grandfather celebrated his birthday two days ago, and all three uncles came.

As soon as the third uncle made a move, it was Huazi, and it was still a soft box.

His eldest uncle's Fu Rong Wang gave him no convulsions, saying that he choked his throat.

And he greeted my grandpa as soon as he walked in, so loudly that the whole building could hear him - I always thought he couldn't talk loudly.

After the meal was served, he also toasted frequently, which is called a lively one.

When asked why, it turned out that their boss personally appointed him as the person in charge of the cold drink workshop because of his practical work.

The basic salary starts at 28000 yuan, plus performance wages and bonuses, 40000 yuan a month is low.

But my eldest uncle and second uncle are envious...

My eldest uncle is an engineer with a monthly salary of [-] yuan, and my second uncle owns three fruit shops.

But the total monthly profit of these three fruit shops is not as high as the third uncle's salary. "

"Brother, you can really fool!"

"Yeah, your ability to make up stories has reached the peak. I suggest you go to the novel website for novels, and you will definitely make a lot of money."

"Why am I lying to you? The October Food Factory is next to Zhongzhou Wanbang Logistics.

The salary slips of all employees will be posted on the bulletin board for three months. The bulletin board is an open area and anyone can visit it.

Just run over and see for yourself. "

"What he said is true; March employee payroll of October Food Factory.jpg!"

"I also have it; October Food Factory February employee payroll.jpg!"

"Fuck, can't you? Can you really earn so much money?"

"What if I really want to work there too? But I heard that it is very difficult to get into the October Food Factory."

"It's really hard to get in, I'm a big beauty, with a master-level talent '嘿嘤嘤'.

I heard that the boss of October Foods is a man, and I don’t know if he will appreciate it and give me a job offer. "

"..."

As soon as this video came out, followers gathered again.

Especially under the overwhelming publicity of the ice cream "Assassin", the starry sky ice cream and starry sky ice cream are like lotus flowers that emerge from the mud and are not stained, especially delicate and beautiful in the filth everywhere.

Coupled with the high welfare and high treatment offered by the October Food Factory, this place tended to become a holy place in people's hearts.

Zhang Yue finally understood why so many supermarkets came to him in less than half a day.

Where there is demand, there will be a market, and supermarkets are different from other stores in that they rely on the flow of people to win.

Even if Xingkong Ice Cream doesn't make much money, as long as it can attract people, and customers can pick up something after buying the ice cream, they will be able to make money.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yue immediately said to Wu Dachuan: "The plan has changed, next you will focus on the production of the cold drink workshop.

Be sure to meet the supply as much as possible. "

Wu Dachuan nodded, this is not difficult.

The key to producing ice cream and ice cream is the production of cream.

With that supercentrifuge, no matter how much cream is needed, it can be processed quickly.

Zhongzhou CBD building.

Zhongzhou Branch of Haagen-Dash China Branch.

Branch manager Xu Rongzheng was standing downstairs waiting anxiously.

After a while, a BMW stopped in the parking lot.

Xu Rong ran over quickly, only to see a white foreigner coming out of the car.

Xu Rong hurriedly said: "Mr. Peel, you are finally here."

Peel is the CEO of Haagen-Dash China Branch.

Hearing Xu Rong's words, Pierre just nodded lightly, and before he even went upstairs, Pierre asked directly:
"What's the situation now? Tell me in detail."

"Yes, about 20 days ago, the Haagen-Dash University North Road store gave me a message.

The star milk tea shop opposite them launched an ice cream.

This kind of ice cream is large, cheap, and the most important thing is that the taste is very similar to ours.

I did some research at the time and found that it was indeed the same.

So I reported this matter to the company as soon as possible, but I didn't receive a reply after a few days.

I thought it was not important, so I didn't continue to pay attention. "

Peel glared at him: "Okay, stop talking about these useless things, what will happen next?"

"Afterwards, an anchor named Erbaiziyue specifically talked about this matter.

However, this anchor's video focuses on the super centrifuge used in the production of starry sky ice cream.

Although our single-ball ice cream was used as a comparison, it was just a joke, and everyone forgot it after seeing it.

The key is the subsequent ice cream assassin incident.

Because some ice cream factories usually slaughter people too hard, and the methods are not very upright, which instantly arouses public outrage.

In just two days, it was directly on the hot search.

Just at this time, Xingkong Ice Cream stands out with its low price and excellent quality.

In addition, the boss of Shiyue Food Factory is a master trader, and he is also promoting promotions to gain popularity, and is also showing off his salary to gain attention.

After some operations, Xingkong Ice Cream and Xingkong Ice Cream were instantly built into a national brand.

Originally, this was nothing, no matter how popular the other party was, it didn’t matter to us, after all, we and their target customers were not in the same group at all.

But it’s so hard to die, someone picked up the fact that our ice cream tastes exactly the same as the starry sky ice cream.

In addition, we are a foreign brand, so we were labeled as a 'foreign assassin'.

From noon yesterday to now, our single-scoop ice cream sales have dropped by 80%, and other products have also dropped by nearly half. "

The two of them spoke and returned to the office.

Peel asked, "Where's the other party's ice cream?"

Xu Rong immediately took out a box from the freezer: "I went to the supermarket to grab it. Fortunately, I moved fast enough, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy it at all."

Pierre opened the box, and the ice cream inside was neatly arranged.

Especially the outer packaging, looks simple and elegant.

He took one out, let it sit at room temperature for 2 minutes, and opened it.

A familiar sweet smell entered the nostrils, and Pierre's face changed instantly.

He took a sip carefully, put down the ice cream for a long time, and said to Xu Rong:

"You immediately contact the legal department and ask them to sue October Food Factory.

Reason: October Food Factory stole our business secrets and engaged in vicious competition. "

Xu Rong was taken aback: "This..."

Peel glanced at him: "What's wrong?"

"No, Mr. Peel, to sue October Food Factory for stealing our commercial recipes, we must have solid evidence.

But I have eaten their ice cream, although the taste is very similar to our single ball, but it does not prove that they are exactly the same, right? "

Peel shook his head: "The materials used in Starry Sky Ice Cream, including the cream refining technology, are exactly the same as our single ball.

I forgot to tell you, before I became the CEO of the Huaguo branch, I was the head of the Haagen-Dash gourmet laboratory.

Do you know why I can be the person in charge?

Because my tongue is naturally very sensitive to all kinds of tastes.

Regardless of any food, as long as I taste it, I can guess the formula inside.

This one-scoop ice cream is one of the most classic recipes, and I know every ingredient in it by heart.

Therefore, my judgment cannot be wrong.

Of course, to be on the safe side, these ice creams will be sent back to the Haagen-Dash gourmet laboratory for testing.

But it can be carried out simultaneously with the prosecution of October Food Factory. "

Xu Rong was silent.

After a long time, he raised his head: "Is it really going to come this far?
Mr. Peel, I don't mean anything else, the main thing is that if you do it like this, the matter will really become big.

Especially public opinion will be very unfavorable to us! "

He was telling the truth.

This is Huaguo. For the masses, it is an exciting and good thing that October Food Factory took the initiative to sell high-end ice cream at the price of cabbage.

It would be fine if Haagen-Dash remained silent, but if he made trouble with the other party, he would probably be boycotted by the whole people.

At that time, apart from completely withdrawing from the Huaguo market, there will be no second choice.

Peel nodded, "I know what you mean, but so what?

As long as we win the lawsuit, October Food Factory will not only need to pay huge compensation, but the production line will also have to be shut down.

As for the boycott...

Hey, why do you think those who boycott us boycott us?

Simple, they have no money.

Without money, they are not our target customers. What's the use of them resisting? "

Xu Rong nodded: "Understood, I will do it right away."

"Wait, since you want to do it, let's make it bigger.

You contact the official Kuaijiu, find some well-known anchors, and ask them to release a video.

Focus on the other party's infringement.

Since the other party likes to use public opinion, let's deal with him in the same way. "

Shake quickly.

Countless people who eat melons were still filled with righteous indignation for the ice cream assassin at the beginning, and soon they were moved by the fact that Huaguoneng has such a conscientious enterprise as Shiyue Food Factory.

As a result, many people who don't usually eat ice cream can't help but buy two pieces to try when they go to the supermarket.

It's just that the limelight has not passed, and the wind direction has changed again.

The reason is that a big V named "Straight Man Express" in Kuaijiu sent a short video.

Don't underestimate this straight man's newsletter, this person's fans are as high as 1679W, and his influence in public opinion is much higher than that of Erbai Ziyue.

"Families, something serious has happened!

I believe everyone is familiar with October Food Factory.

Because just two days ago, the other party was still a conscientious enterprise.

But now, it has been sued, and I believe everyone is no stranger to suing.

It is Haagen-Dash, the king of cold drink brands in the world.

The reason is simple. Haagen-Dash publicly stated that the starry sky ice cream produced by October Food Factory uses their formula.

Regarding whether this matter is true or false, I conducted a special investigation.

It's no secret to discover Haagen-Dash's ice cream recipe.

The other party applied for a patent for this formula as early as 15 years ago, and announced it at the same time.

That is to say, in all patent contracting parties around the world, without the authorization of Haagen-Dachsh, ice cream with the same formula cannot be produced.

So when I found that the starry sky ice cream produced by the October Food Factory was very similar to the Haagen-Dachs single ball,

Haagen-Dash officially conducted a test experiment immediately, but the result was unexpected, and I was shocked when I tested it.

The ingredients in Starry Sky Ice Cream can’t be said to be similar to Haagen-Dash, it’s exactly the same!
So in a rage, Haagen-Dash took October Food Factory to court.

Speaking of this, I am really sad!

It is true that October Food Factory has brought down the price of high-end ice cream, which is a good thing.

But good things don’t mean you can do whatever you want!
It's kind of unkind to copy other people's recipes, and copy them verbatim.

Besides, the price of Starry Sky Ice Cream is cheap, but being cheap doesn’t mean you don’t make money!
In particular, the other party used the gimmick of "Ice Cream Assassin" to vigorously promote its own brand. It is said that many supermarkets are sold out of stock every day.

With such a good business, October Food Factory is naturally making a lot of money.

Maybe after hearing this, someone will definitely scold me, saying that I am like this or that.

But everything can't escape the word "reasonable", and I'm just discussing the matter as it stands, and I don't mean to target anyone.

I will continue to pay attention to Haagen-Dash's lawsuit against October Food Factory.

I believe that the judges in Huaguo will give justice to both parties. "

The first reaction of the melon eaters who saw this video was: What happened to the Straight Man Express today?
She was usually full of righteous indignation, why did she suddenly become kneeling and flattering?And also force the logic to be self-consistent?

He won't take money, will he?
Just when everyone was stunned, another anchor named "Reuters" also sent a similar message.

Of course, the number of followers of Reuters is only 500W+, which is not at the same level as Straight Man News.

Moreover, the language of Reuters is more subtle, but if you carefully taste it, the meaning in the words is no different from the straight man news.

All are suspected of siding with Haagen-Dash.

Then the third, the fourth...

These anchors are very influential.

If a person says that, the people who eat melons still don't believe it.

But now that everyone is saying the same thing, the public opinion is a little unclear.

So everyone focused on October Food Factory, hoping to see how the other party would respond.

October Food Factory.

Zhang Yue naturally heard about this, and he called all the senior management of the food factory over.

As soon as Shi Manman came in, he immediately asked Wu Dachuan: "Uncle Wu, what's going on?

Could it be that the recipe of Starry Sky Ice Cream was copied? "

Seeing everyone looking at him, Wu Dachuan's face was full of embarrassment:

"I... I didn't expect things to turn out like this.

That's right, when developing the recipe, we did borrow the taste of Haagen-Dash ice cream.

But we are just learning from it, how do we know the content of their secret recipe? "

Wu Dachuan was followed by a young man, and he added: "We really didn't know the formula of Haagen-Darch in advance.

As for the taste being exactly the same as the counterpart, the reason is very simple.

The reason why Haagen-Dashi is delicious is that they use a super centrifuge with a frequency of 50000W.

The cream separated by this super centrifuge has a dense and smooth taste. With this cream, it is not difficult to reproduce the ice cream of Haagen-Dash.

And this kind of super centrifuge is a moat in itself because of its high cost.

Now Haagen-Dash has come up with their secret recipe, which is completely unreasonable. "

The man's name is Zhou Cangming, and he is a technician in the food laboratory of Shiyue Food Factory.

Because he is very talented in food research, Zhang Yue let him be in charge of the laboratory temporarily.

Zhan Susu immediately asked: "The question now is, how similar is the recipe of our starry sky ice cream to the recipe of Haagen-Dash ice cream?"

Tan Xuemei also said: "That's right, what if the other party just touches porcelain on purpose?
At that time, everyone will go to court, and if we show our formula, won't everyone know it? "

Shi Manman immediately said: "Xuemei is right, Haagen-Dash may have done this on purpose just to steal our formula."

Seeing a few people talking more and more angrily, Zhang Yue coughed lightly: "Okay, don't guess anymore.

I can tell you that the formula of Star Ice Cream is exactly the same as that of Haagen-Dash Ice Cream.

Cang Ming is right, the recipe of Haagen-Dash ice cream is not a secret at all.

In addition, the taste of this formula is the best, and it is normal for us to research it. "

Shi Manman immediately said: "If that's the case, then go to court with the other party?
At that time, I will explain the situation clearly to the judge, and I believe they will handle it fairly. "

Zhan Susu shook his head and sighed: "If the court handles it fairly, we must be the losers."

Seeing that Shi Manman didn't understand, Zhan Susu explained: "Although Haagen-Dash's ice cream recipe is relatively simple, it is true that the other party applied for a patent.

As long as a patent is obtained, it will be protected.

This is the same in other industries, such as the mobile phone industry.

Nokia mobile phones have completely disappeared from the market, but no matter Apple or Samsung, or mobile phone manufacturers in our country, they have to pay tens of billions of patent fees to Nokia every year.

The reason is simple. Some technologies were first developed by Nokia. Even if everyone can make them now, they can only pay honestly. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.

In fact, why don't they understand the truth?It's just about myself, I don't want to admit it.

Zhan Susu turned to look at Zhang Yue: "what are you going to do about this?"

The others also raised their heads.

Zhang Yue is the boss, this matter can only be decided by him.

Seeing Zhang Yue smiled slightly: "It's very simple, since the other party sued us, we should respond to the lawsuit!
Isn't it just a lawsuit, who is afraid of whom! "

"But……"

"No need." Zhang Yue said directly to Zhou Cangming, "You are the most familiar with technology.

If there is a trial at that time, it will be up to you to defend.

I will hire two more lawyers for you, and you should study more with them.

Be good, and when this matter is over, I will make you a full-time employee in person as the head of your gourmet laboratory. "

But Zhou Cangming didn't feel the slightest bit of joy: "Boss, it's not that I don't want to defend, but since the formula is the same, what should I say then!"

Zhang Yue chuckled: "It's very simple, have you heard the allusion of referring to a deer as a horse?

You just come and refuse to admit it. "

Shi Manman immediately said: "I understand this, if you resist, you should be strict, up to three days, if you confess, you will be lenient, and you will be imprisoned!"

Public opinion was once again in an uproar.

Because just after Haagen-Dash sent out the news that he would sue October Food Factory for stealing his formula.

The next day, October Food Factory took the initiative to respond, saying that this was a naked slander against itself by Haagen-Dash.

Not only that, October Food Factory also filed a lawsuit against Haagen-Dash.

Ask the other party to apologize for this behavior and compensate for their reputation loss and spiritual loss.

Seeing that the October Food Factory is so busy, the people who eat melons are at a loss.

Because they don't know who to trust.
