1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 495 The fight against counterfeiting starts with me
……

"You only discovered such a big product quality problem now? Can you tell me what you were doing before?"

After receiving Hou Ming's report, Luo Tao immediately came to the Maple Leaf store in Xidan, where the product quality problem was first discovered.

In the conference room, he angrily questioned several people in charge of the Maple Leaf store.

None of them had the courage to face Luo Tao's anger, so they all buried their heads, one lower than the other.

Seeing them like this, Luo Tao was furious again, hating iron for being weak.

"Humph!"

He took a few deep breaths and suppressed the anger in his chest.

He said to Chen Xiu, the manager of the Maple Leaf store: "Manager Chen, how many pairs of leather shoes have you found that are of substandard quality?"

"Mr. Luo, more than three hundred pairs have been found, not including those that have been sold. The inventory in the warehouse is currently being counted..." Chen Xiu answered truthfully.

The quality of the leather shoes was so bad, and the batches were so large, the quality inspection personnel arranged for them did not find out in advance, and they not only entered the warehouse but were also circulated out.

It's not as simple as dereliction of duty on their part.

He had long heard that the quality of leather products in Wen City was not good. Luo Tao never expected that such a thing would happen to him.

Those people who were punished back then seem not to be unjust at all now. The city's large-scale production of fake and shoddy products has become a major social cancer, causing countless accidents.

The fake medicine incident in Jinjiang, Fujian Province two years ago was so bad that people from Jinjiang later went to work abroad and did not dare to say that they were from Jinjiang.

Luo Tao's eyelids sank and he said softly: "Immediately remove all leather shoes from the shelves and publish an apology to consumers in the newspaper... All consumers who purchase leather shoes from Maple Leaf this year will be given a pair if there are any quality problems." Double the compensation.”

Maple Leaf must now save its reputation by blowing the whistle before consumers speak out. If the consumers themselves come forward and speak out, the damage to Maple Leaf's reputation will be even greater.

Not only must they blow themselves up, but they must also spend a lot of money to eliminate the disaster, so that consumers can see the sincerity of Maple Leaf or Xichang, and let them know Maple Leaf's determination to resist counterfeit and inferior products.

"...We must also collect all these fake and inferior products and destroy them in front of the people of the whole country."

Xichang must now learn from what Hai Brothers did when they faced inferior products.

However, compared to the dozens of refrigerators they dared to smash, the destruction of thousands of pairs of leather shoes in Xichang was nothing.

Luo Tao said in particular: "This matter must be handled as soon as possible."

"Yes, let's do it now." Manager Chen was a little confused at this time.

This matter has just begun, how can it be finished so easily.

Seeing them preparing to move, Luo Tao said loudly: "Why are you panicking? Now you know you are anxious."

Everyone who spoke was panicked and at a loss.

Half a sound.

Luo Tao pointed at them, "The four of you must bear some responsibility for this matter. I'll fine you half a year's salary. No objections!"

Luo Tao's tone was not that he was discussing with them, but that he was pronouncing a verdict on the spot.

We are not afraid that they will be dissatisfied, and if they are not convinced, they can choose to leave immediately, and no one will force them to stay.

After they heard the news, they all agreed with Shuang Dazu, but no one dared to say no.

Penalizing them for half a year's wages may seem harsh, but compared to the wages Xichang gave them, this is light. Not being fired is already an extrajudicial favor.

The highest salary of the four of them has reached 800 yuan a month, and the lowest salary is more than 500 yuan a month. Even if they are punished with half a year's salary, their family can still be normal.

Seeing them accepting their punishment so readily, the sword that had been raised had no choice but to be put down.

But this matter can't just be revealed like this. This time, we must be ruthless and let some people know about Xichang's thunderous wrath.

Especially those who are trying to steal others, we must decisively kill them.

Luo Tao issued to them the first dismissal order since the founding of Xichang, "Fire all the quality inspection personnel and warehouse personnel responsible for Wenzhou's leather shoes."

They were all shocked by Luo Tao's generosity, including several senior officials in Xichang.

Hou Mingdao: "Whether this is too much or not, we should wait until we investigate."

Luo Tao didn't even raise his eyebrows and said in denial: "No need, investigating them is a waste of manpower.

To kill a chicken to scare a monkey is to be ruthless. "Luo Tao didn't hide his intentions at all.

Everyone present became solemn, covered with a layer of frost, and frightened. Only now did they really know how ruthless their boss was.

"And stop all leather trade with them from now on."

Among the people present, only Hou Ming dared to step forward and say a few words, "What did Hongda say?"

The Hongda that Hou Ming was talking about was the leather factory owned by Qi Kai's brother-in-law. Maple Leaf's previous leather shoes were produced by them. Later, due to the increase in demand, they cooperated with several other companies, but the main source was the leather shoes produced by Hongda Leather Factory.

"Aren't there any products produced by their factory?"

Manager Chen replied: "40.00% is produced by Hongda." and handed Luo Tao a bill of goods for recent transactions between the two parties.

Luo Tao didn't look at it either. He really didn't have the time to do so. "Remember, there is no human kindness in the mall. If they dare to do this, they must be held responsible."

……

……

Luo Tao had to hold a quality production meeting for them, "We must seriously learn the lessons from this accident, and we must engrav this lesson into the bones of Xichang people...Xichang is not the source of fake and shoddy products." , Xichang is not a window for counterfeit and shoddy products."

Everyone took notes carefully, for fear of being a little slow and unable to keep up with the leader.

"Hou Ming, in the next six months, you will be responsible for spot-checking quality problems in units in various places. Whether it is clothing production, catering, liquor, or agricultural production, all units under Xichang must pass the quality production screen.

If an individual is unqualified, he or she will be fired. If the unit as a whole is unqualified, then rectification will be suspended until the employee is qualified. "

Xichang, which expanded rapidly last year, is bound to stop and polish its own problems this year.

Tall buildings have risen from the ground. The Xichang buildings now opened in various places are the cornerstones of the future Xichang territory. They must not be afraid of strong winds blowing from the southeast, northwest, and northwest.

Hou Ming also knew the seriousness of the production quality, so he did not hesitate to accept this offending job.

Apart from Luo Tao, he is the only one in Xichang who is qualified for this job, and he is the only one who dares to attack the worms within the company, because he is the veteran of Xichang and the person Luo Tao trusts the most.

For him to take charge of the matter is basically representing Luo Tao.

Afterwards, Luo Tao added: "In addition, we must organize people to set up our own leather processing factory. This must be done quickly. We must start producing our own products this year."

Luo Tao now feels more and more that if he takes care of other people's children, no matter how obedient he is, subconsciously he will not be as obedient as his own children.

This leather shoe incident forced Luo Tao to once again think carefully about the current internal corporate structure in Xichang.

After careful consideration, there are flaws everywhere.Looking at the changes in the general environment in the next few years with the help of clairvoyance, some people are bound to feel restless.For these restless people, Luo Tao still had to make plans in advance.

However, now he still has one major matter to deal with, which is to explain the matter clearly to his old friend Qi Kai.

Losing some money is not worth mentioning to Luo Tao now, but Luo Tao still cherishes Qi Kai, his old friend.

Of course, there is also a certain value to Qi Kai himself.

"Old Qi, I heard that you recently made another big invention. Congratulations... Well, why do you hear your tone? You don't like me for disturbing you."

Luo Tao did not go straight to the point, but resorted to the roundabout method commonly used by Chinese people.

However, Qi Kai seemed to be very indifferent to this.

Qi Kai said warmly: "Isn't this why you called here?"

He was also familiar with Luo Tao's temperament and knew that this phone call would not be that simple.

Luo Tao laughed openly and said, "Those who know me should be happy. I really have a difficult matter and I need my help."

Luo Tao still didn't tell him clearly, and still chose to go around in circles.

At this time, Qi Kai really thought that Luo Tao was in trouble and needed his help, so he said straightforwardly: "If you have anything to say, as long as I can help, I will definitely do my best."

Luo Tao was somewhat happy to hear what he said, thinking that Qi Kai, a friend, hadn't changed from his previous life.

However, I don't know if he can really make sense.

Make the right choice between reason and family affection.

Luo Tao told him about the leather shoes incident, Zhang Guanli wearing it.

"What do you say I should do?"

After Qi Kai on the other end of the phone heard this story, he was stunned for a while when faced with Luo Tao's inquiry and did not answer.

Because he felt that the protagonist in the story Luo Tao told was not a relative of Luo Tao, but had something to do with his family.

He asked in an uncertain tone: "Lao Luo, did something happen to my brother-in-law?"

Luo Tao was no longer embarrassed at this time, "Yes, as for the specific matter, you still need to ask him."

The two hung up the phone in a hurry.

Qi Kai began to understand the whole story. However, until now, his brother-in-law is still biting back Xichang, saying that Xichang has no business reputation at all and will break the contract if he breaks the contract. This clearly shows that the store is bullying customers and does not talk about them at all. Product quality problems.

I also want Qi Kai to talk to Luo Tao, hoping that he can help make peace.

Regarding his brother-in-law's performance, Qi Kai had already guessed the problem.

He couldn't say harsh words to his brother-in-law who was so kind, so he could only say a few perfunctory words.

When he spoke to Luo Tao again, "Old Luo, I'm sorry for causing you trouble this time.

We will be responsible for all the losses caused to you..."

"Lao Qi, what you said is a heretic. Just don't blame me. ...With our friendship, we will never reach that point.

...If I really want to ask them for compensation, I can just make a phone call.

...Today, I would like to ask you, sir, to give me a large amount of food. Let’s take a look at my little chicken intestine test just now. "

For his old friend's understanding, Luo Tao naturally would not pursue anything further regarding the leather shoes matter, and he dismissed him both inside and outside his words.

Luo Tao has never lacked money in his life. What he lacks is true love, the most rare thing in the world.

Luo Tao would not hesitate to exchange hundreds or tens of millions for a true friend.

Qi Kai was really moved by Luo Tao's truth. He choked up and said, "Thank you very much, really..."

"Let's not say these words of thanks between us. Just remember to treat me to West Lake Vinegar Fish next time..." Luo Tao comforted him in his own way, sincerely hoping that he would not take it too seriously in the future.

However, I still have to chat with him, a great intellectual, for a few words, "Lao Qi, let's leave this matter behind. You don't have to work hard on this matter anymore...invention and creation are your main battlefield."

Qi Kai also repeatedly promised that he would not let his side cause Luo Tao any more trouble.

Afterwards, Luo Tao kept his word and only punished several other leather factories accordingly. For Hongda Leather Factory, he chose to be extrajudicial and let them go without punishment. Of course, he will not do so in the future. There is cooperation.

Once the incident of inferior leather shoes was reported, it once again caused a sensation in the capital and the whole country.

The sensation in the capital came from the double compensation from Maple Leaf Store. Once this trend started, Luo Tao really saw what a scourge was.

A thousand pairs were returned within a week, and this time I really lost money to my grandma’s family. You must know that the leather shoes sold by Maple Leaf are at least tens of yuan a pair, and the most expensive ones are hundreds.

The words spoken were like water thrown out, it was impossible to take them back, not to mention that it was Luo Tao who said the double compensation.

Seeing the real money flowing out of my pocket, it would be a lie to say that I don't feel distressed.

This return wave lasted for more than half a month. A total of more than [-] pairs of inferior leather shoes were recovered, and the number of goods in stock reached more than [-] pairs.

One day in early March, a fire broke out in the western suburbs. The fire was so shocking that the national media gave special reports on the matter.

future time.

In order to divert his mood, Luo Tao decided to go into battle personally and write an article to attack counterfeit and shoddy products. Although the article did not mention the name of the region, anyone with a discerning eye would know who he was talking about.

For a time, the leather in Wen City became a street rat that everyone wanted to beat.

At this time, it doesn’t matter whether the factory director is the brother-in-law or the brother-in-law.

In fact, many people have had the experience of being deceived. At this time, they don't care who they have been deceived. At this time, all the anger in their chests is bombarded with the city of Wenzhou.

The cold winter of the earth has just passed and the spring breeze has just blown, but the leather industry in Wenzhou and even the whole country is suffering from the first severe winter in the leather industry since the reform and opening up.

They complained incessantly, everyone shouted that they were wronged, and the leather merchants from other places scolded Wenshi.

This bunch of immoral people are smoking hot.

They don’t even know that burning leather shoes in Xichang is just a small beginning, and something even more powerful is waiting for them later...

After seeing the society's response, most of the fire in Luo Tao's chest disappeared.

Otherwise, everyone would say that scholars are the most useless people, and they kill people without seeing the sword.
