Chapter 456 Focus Interviews
"Fuck, the shitty Wanda Mountain is still letting people live! MN is also a waste, can such a harsh standard pass? We people are going to drink the northwest wind!" Zhang Jinping, who runs the milk station, has scolded several times. Oh my god, he was originally a local gangster with a bit of influence, and later he slowly washed his whites and cooperated with others to open a milk station. The dairy farmers around him had to come to him if they wanted to sell milk, and then he sold the milk to the dairy company , in order to make more money, he has often engaged in crooked ways, and the dairy company knows it, but raw milk is in short supply these past few years, and what they don't want is what people want, so just turn a blind eye and close one eye, Zhang Jinping is relaxed Song made money.

However, as the country promulgated new raw milk procurement standards, this kind of good life cannot continue. The standard has strict requirements on protein content and the total number of bacteria. It is no longer possible for him to continue selling milk mixed with water to dairy companies. , Originally, the protein content of the milk produced by these free-range dairy cows was not high, and if it was mixed with water, the content would be even lower, and it would certainly not be able to meet the standards set by the state.

There are actually ways for free-range farmers to meet the standard. The protein content of 3.0 is not unattainable. As long as they are willing to give cattle concentrated feed and high-quality forage, the protein content in milk will increase within three to five days, but the cost of feeding dairy farmers It will increase, and it will be impossible for the milk station to buy at the previous price.

Besides, he is used to doing crooked ways and earning cheap money. He would definitely not be happy to ask Zhang Jinping to earn some small money honestly. Compared with the money, Zhang Jinping looked down upon it.

"Brother, I'm back!" While scolding vigorously, Zhang Jinping's younger brother, Zhang Yujie, opened the door and came in. Since the dairy company stopped buying raw milk mixed with water from him, Zhang Jinping asked Zhang Yujie to inquire, to see if there was any way to deceive him. In the past two times, Zhang Yujie returned without success. I don't know what will happen this time.

"How's the inquiry going? Zhang Laoguai, Liu Heiqi, and the others have found a solution?" Zhang Jinping asked hastily. There are competitions and connections between various milk stations. Now that there is a critical moment, the bosses of these milk stations have started reporting to the group. After warming up, I started to ask around for ways to avoid the standard.

"I found out. I heard that some places have started to add cow urine to milk. It seems that they can fool the inspectors and make the protein content in the milk reach the standard!" Zhang Yujie's face is full of joy. If this method works, their family can continue. They have made a lot of money by relying on the milk station. As for whether this will have a bad impact on consumers, the two brothers have never thought about it.

"Cow urine? Adding cow urine to milk can fool the test? What is the reason? They are not fooling you?" Zhang Jinping has no education, so he has no idea of ​​the reason.

"People explained to me that now dairy companies mainly use nitrogen content in the detection of protein in raw milk, because there is nitrogen in protein, so some people deduce it according to the detection method. Since they test the nitrogen content, we use other Wouldn’t it be enough to increase the nitrogen content in the milk? Cow urine contains nitrogen, so we just collect some cow urine and add it to the milk!”

"What do you charge? Go and tell the cow breeders, tell them to bring some cow urine when they deliver milk next time, and anyone who doesn't bring it will not accept milk!" Zhang Jinping is not even willing to pay for this. out, adding the cost to the dairy farmers.

Those dairy farmers could only obey, and then the brothers Zhang Jinping and Zhang Yujie mixed cow urine into the milk according to the ratio they found out, and they actually passed the test of the dairy company. It seems that the test method used by the dairy company is indeed to test milk. nitrogen content in.

The two brothers were immediately overjoyed. Adding cow urine to the milk not only meets the standard, but also increases the weight. Isn’t this just money?So they lived a good life with easy money.

However, they soon encountered another problem, that is, it is not so easy to collect cow urine, and the scattered farmers don't know when the cows pee?Moreover, urine is liquid, so you can’t hang a dung bag behind the cow’s buttocks like collecting cow dung, or simply carry a back basket to pick up cow dung. Cow urine can’t catch or store it. No, there is no way to collect them.

I have to admit that making money is the biggest driving force for technological change. Although cow urine is not easy to collect, some people soon came up with other methods. Isn’t it just adding nitrogen to milk? Things with high nitrogen content are not the only ones Cow urine and urea also contain a lot of nitrogen!

You don’t need to bother to collect this stuff, you can buy it in the supply and marketing cooperatives, let’s just pick the cheapest one, it’s not expensive, and you can mix it with water to add it, although it costs a little more, you can earn more .

What made Li Lei want to cry afterwards was that many milk station owners actually bought urea produced by Huinong Chemical Fertilizer Factory. Who made Huinong's fertilizers have the widest distribution and can be sold anywhere?Li Lei originally produced chemical fertilizers to allow farmers to have more harvests, but unexpectedly, they were added to milk by the milk station.

It didn’t take long to add urea, because urea has a strange smell. Although the testing equipment can’t detect it, the inspector can tell it by smelling it with his nose. Whose milk smells like urine?This kind of milk is definitely not qualified, so the method of adding urea will not work.

The bosses of the milk station scolded them again, but they were not discouraged. They have always been very persevering when it comes to going crooked, and it's not like they haven't experienced such things before.

When the earliest dairy companies purchased raw milk, they first looked at the color. If the milk was not white enough, it must have been mixed with too much water. They would not accept it. Soon the milk station found a solution, which was to add noodle soup to the milk, and the noodle soup was also white. Yes, and it can make the milk viscous, so it can pass the test.

After the method of adding noodle soup was discovered, they developed a method of using talcum powder to whiten milk; at the same time, they also added alkaline flour to the milk to neutralize the sour taste produced by the dairy company due to the milk being stored for too long. The detection method is changing, and the response method of the milk station is also changing.

The two sides used chemical knowledge to start one after another confrontation. It can be said that the road is as high as the devil, and at the end of the fight, the bosses of the milk station learned a lot of chemical knowledge without a teacher, at least they went home to give themselves It is certainly not a problem for my child to teach junior high chemistry.

Therefore, many milk station owners began to think about a problem. Is there something that can increase the nitrogen content in milk, and it is not as difficult to collect as cow urine, and at the same time, it will not emit peculiar smell like urea. People will not eat it in a short time. It has too much influence, and the most important thing is that the price of this kind of thing is not too expensive.
With so many harsh conditions, it may not be easy to achieve, right?Most people probably think so, but don't underestimate how much hard work a businessman can put in to make money. After a short time, people actually found this kind of additive, which is the notorious melamine.

Melamine is a compound with very low production cost. It is mainly used as the main raw material for the manufacture of melamine formaldehyde resin, a reagent for organic element analysis, and is also used in the synthesis of organic and resin as a tanning agent and filler for leather processing, although it is not like urea. You can buy it casually, but it is not difficult to buy it.

The nitrogen content of this compound is very high, which means that after adding melamine to milk, more water can be added, and it has no peculiar smell, which is not easy to be found by adding urea. These characteristics perfectly meet the requirements of the milk station. bosses' needs.

They completely ignored the hazards of melamine, and did not take it seriously that melamine can cause bladder inflammation, epithelial hyperplasia, stones and even acute renal failure. I just want to make money, and these things have nothing to do with me. Even if they are unlucky!

As a result, melamine quickly became popular among various milk stations, and an industrial chain was formed. Some people specially purchased melamine, then added maltodextrin to make protein powder and wholesaled it to retailers, who then sold it to milk stations. bosses and dairy farmers.

Li Lei reported this information to other shareholders of Wanda Mountain, "Everyone, they are ruining the reputation of our entire industry! Do you still remember the Wenzhou leather shoes back then? Until now, the reputation of Wenzhou leather shoes has not slowed down! If If they are allowed to falsify unscrupulously, the reputation of China's dairy industry will be as ruined as Wenzhou's leather shoes! We, Wandashan, will also be implicated!"

"It's outrageous!" Mr. Gao of COFCO also patted the table. How much favor and price did COFCO have to pay to pass the raw milk purchase standard, but you are lucky enough to use such despicable means to evade detection , then our favor from COFCO is not in vain?

"These moths are disregarding the safety of consumers. As the representative of the domestic dairy industry and the initiator of industry standards, Wandashan is obliged to eliminate them! I will report to the relevant departments!" The shareholders of the Great Northern Wilderness are also angry. How much effort and money have we spent on ranching and modern breeding, and finally established an absolute advantage. How can these people be corrupted?
If ordinary consumers encounter this kind of problem, even if they go to the relevant departments to respond, they will not be taken seriously, but these shareholders present are different. They have status, status, and influence, even if they go to the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. As a guest, the relevant departments must pay attention to it.

However, Li Lei felt that this was not enough. The problem could indeed be solved only through top-to-bottom methods, but at most it was only for a while. A new suggestion, "There must be communication with the relevant departments, but this is not enough, and the power of public opinion must be brought in. I am going to talk to the stage, let the "Focus Interview" column send reporters to conduct unannounced visits, and bring this black The industry is exposed to a national audience!"

"Focus Interview" is a program that started broadcasting in 1994. Because of its boldness, daring to speak, and ability to tell the truth, it quickly became the focus of audiences across the country, and successively produced such as the phenomenon of traffic police in the Shanxi section of National Highway 309. , Huge amount of food money turned into water and other high-quality programs have aroused great repercussions in the society, and have also been commended by the superiors. Even President Zhu has given them a speech.

"Invite the "Focus Interview"? Is this news a bit big? After all, this is negative news within our dairy industry. If it breaks out, it will drag down Wandashan's performance, right?" Mr. Gao hesitated.

The current "Focus Interview" is not what it will look like after the revision in the future, but it is a big killer that makes people feel dissatisfied. Many leaders fell because of the exposure of "Focus Interview", and many companies because of the report of "Focus Interview" As for the bankruptcy, it is not uncommon for local leaders to be frightened when they hear that a reporter from "Focus Interview" has come to make an unannounced visit.

"It's right to make a lot of noise. If you don't be ruthless, can we justify the more than one billion funds we invested and so many human favors? We can't let any of this black sheep go!" Li Lei reminded them that Wandashan The money spent on building modern pastures and producing high-quality raw milk has gone to waste. If killing chickens can't scare monkeys, then the money will be wasted.

"Moreover, exposing bad phenomena in the industry will not necessarily affect the entire industry. For example, the "Focus Interview" exposed the expired mooncakes of Guanshengyuan a few years ago, and it didn't make the common people stop eating mooncakes, right? Newspapers will ruin the entire industry." Melamine ruined China's dairy industry, flag planting ruined the sauerkraut industry, these are typical cases.

"We can cooperate with Zhuangertai, and after the unannounced interview of "Focus Interview" is broadcast, we can conduct a milk quality test, so that consumers can see that most of our domestic dairy industry is still good, and they should be relieved!" Li Lei added.

Melamine has just started to be used now, and it is far from being as widespread as it was in 08, so Li Lei dared to let the Dianer station do such a program;

Our Wandashan milk is definitely fine. If we add the test and evaluation, it will not only wipe out the unhealthy trends in the industry, but also take this opportunity to improve the reputation of Wandashan. Thinking of this, representatives of several major shareholders agreed with Li. Lei's plan.

Then Li Lei started to contact the "Focus Interview" program group. His current status is much higher than Song Weiyang, so naturally he didn't need to hire a lot of people to call "Focus Interview" every day.

Through Tan Songyun's relationship, Li Lei made an appointment with "Focus Interview" Liang Jianzeng, invited him to his courtyard, and then invited Wang Hai to accompany him.

After eating, Li Lei handed the materials collected during this period to Liang Jianzhang, "Producer Liang, I think this problem is very serious, and it is very suitable for "Focus Interview" to report."

Liang Jianzhang had only read a few pages, and just like Li Lei couldn't help but patted the table, "This kind of thing must be exposed!"
