Chapter 340 The price of super fish oil will inevitably rise

Arrangements started overnight, and some reporters had already been notified that they had to leave for Tianchao tomorrow to attend Xu Pingan's press conference. They all started to turn on their computers and directly book air tickets to China.

The next day, the global media began to report on the super fish oil. All Poseidon factories were ordered by the headquarters to stop production. This news shocked everyone. The price of super fish oil in major retail stores rose by at least 100%. .

Many media have already announced and received notice that Xu Ping'an will hold a press conference to announce the reason in three days' time. We don't know what the reason is. We can only wait for Xu Ping'an's explanation.

As soon as Xu Pingan arrived at the headquarters, Chen Qingshan and Wei Dongshuo arrived and greeted them to sit down and drink tea. Chen Qingshan began to ask, "Ping'an, there is plenty of time for tea. Now tell me why Poseidon has completely stopped production."

"Plastic microparticles" Xu Pingan said, Wei Dongshuo and Chen Qingshan were both stunned, what does your production of fish oil have to do with plastic microparticles.

"After our internal testing, the fish in the global ocean area are polluted, and plastic particles were detected from their bodies. We refined the fish oil and found plastic particles in the fish oil."

"Plastic microparticles were also found in NX01, the main raw material of super fish oil. Although there are currently no standards for plastic microparticles in countries around the world, we have to take it seriously. We must purchase new equipment and increase processes and manpower to solve this problem."

"We don't know whether plastic particles are harmful to humans, and the scientific community has not given a clear conclusion. Just in case, in order to avoid future troubles, we must make changes now."

"Therefore, I ordered all factories to be stopped, and the process should be improved in all aspects. After the improvement is completed, production should resume," Xu Pingan said calmly, looking at the two of them.

Wei Dongshuo and Chen Qingshan were completely shocked. The fish purchased by Poseidon are all over the world, and they are basically deep-sea fish. This kind of fish has a high oil content. Unexpectedly, the entire army was wiped out.

"By the way, after the resumption of production, the price of super fish oil will inevitably increase. This time, the purchase of new equipment will cost at least [-] million euros, and labor will be increased. The cost has risen, so the price must be increased," Xu Pingan added. .

"Ping An, the price of super fish oil is still unaffordable for most people, have you considered this?" Chen Qingshan said looking at Xu Ping'an's face.

"What should I do if I don't raise the price? It used to take 320 catties of fish to refine a barrel of fish oil, but now it needs 40.00 catties. Adding other expenses, the cost has increased by at least [-]%. I spend so much, who will make up for my loss "Xu Pingan looked at Chen Qingshan without giving in, and there was no way to increase the price.

Wei Dongshuo was stunned by the side. Chen Qingshan had nothing to say about the increase in cost. The two drank two cups of tea and left frowning. Not long after, Kyle came to Xu Ping'an's office, feeling refreshed. Not good.

Xu Pingan invited Kyle to drink tea, and drank two cups of tea. "Boss, I have received calls from more than a dozen countries so far, asking me what's going on, and the answer is the same," Kyle said helplessly.

"How did they react?" Xu Ping'an asked.

"There is nothing to say. This is a global problem. They know more than we do. However, this time I was shocked by my news. The global fishery is polluted by plastic particles, which exceeded their expectations." Kai Er said directly.

"There is no way, look at the reports from various countries. Plastic particles have been found in human feces a few years ago. Plastic products are full of every aspect of life. L'Oréal in country F has started to adjust product formulas since last year to eliminate plastic particles. "

"These international giants have a very keen sense of smell and started to do it early. When plastic particles attracted people's attention and governments of various countries began to introduce relevant policies, there was nothing wrong with the products of the giants, because the giants had already made changes in advance."

"It is the small and medium-sized companies that suffer the most. There are only two paths left for them. One is to borrow huge sums of money to buy equipment and change the process and formula. Second, the products are abandoned by the market and go bankrupt directly. There is no third way to go. "Xu Ping'an was also emotional after finishing speaking.

"Yes, not all companies can afford to increase equipment. A piece of equipment is tens of millions of euros, plus labor and other costs, and ordinary companies really can't afford it."

"I believe that the boss will hold a press conference, plastic particles should attract global attention, and the price of seafood will inevitably drop all the way, which will affect the livelihood of many people." Kyle also felt emotional for a while.

"There is nothing we can do. If we don't change it, once the reporters find it out, we will definitely be sober enough to attack in groups. Just a fine can make us go bankrupt." Xu Pingan sighed and said, the reality is like this, you helpless.

Time passed slowly, and the international market had begun to react. The stocks of companies dealing in seafood began to fall. Although the decline was not large, it could be an obvious signal. Needless to say, the news inevitably spread.

Even if a small number of people know about it, it will definitely cause a reaction. J City held a meeting to strengthen the deployment of police force. The reason is that media from all over the world have sent personnel to participate in the press conference held by Xu Pingan.

At present, there are thousands of personnel counted, and there are more than 500 foreign personnel. These people are all journalists, not ordinary people. Sanitation rectification, security rectification, etc. have begun to unfold. At this juncture, even a small matter may be infinitely magnified .

On this day, the reporters began to gather in the auditorium of the city. The auditorium had been rented by Tianqi Group for a day, and there were too many people.

The reporters have already started to debug various equipment below. Many domestic media are live broadcasting. They have already started to arrange equipment in advance. Today is the last debugging, and they are all busy. Xu Ping'an and Kyle are talking behind the scenes.

Darlene gave Xu Pingan a signal, Xu Pingan nodded and looked at Kyle, the two stood up, and began to walk from the backstage to the front desk, without making too many formalities, Xu Pingan strode towards the front desk, Kyle followed behind.

Seeing that Xu Ping'an came out, the reporters started to get serious. Taking pictures, taking pictures, and live broadcasting, the cameras were all aimed at Xu Pingan who walked to the speaking platform. Xu Pingan pressed down with both hands, and the sound Soon the lowering quieted down.

"Thank you for coming to the media, you have worked hard." After Xu Ping'an finished speaking, he turned his body to the reporters and bowed. The reporters applauded. We all know that Tianqi Group pays attention to etiquette.

Xu Pingan stood up and went back to the podium, pressed down with both hands again, the scene became quiet in an instant, and glanced at the reporters below with a calm expression.

"Everyone, please come here today to have something to do with super fish oil. Everyone has already received the news that Poseidon's factories around the world have been shut down. Everyone has questions in their hearts. Now I will reveal the answer."

"Plastic particles, we had to close all factories because of plastic particles," Xu Pingan said with a serious expression on his face. All the reporters were surprised that it turned out to be plastic particles.

The domestic reporters may not know it very well, but those foreign reporters are very aware of this matter, and foreign media have often reported on this matter.

"Poseidon purchases fish from the oceans around the world. Recently, our self-inspection found that plastic particles were found on fish in all regions. Instead, these plastic particles can enter the refined fish oil"

"We don't know what impact plastic particles will have on the human body. However, it is not a good thing after all. We are a responsible company and must provide consumers with harmless products, even if there is no clear legal regulation on plastic particles in various countries. , we must also do"

"We have already spent [-] million euros to order equipment, and we will add a cleaning process in each of our refining plants and super fish oil production lines to minimize the presence of plastic particles."

"Super Fish Oil will not start production until it has passed our internal testing. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to all consumers."

"Marine pollution is a global problem. I once again call on all countries in the world to take action to protect our planet. We only have one planet, and we only have one ocean."

"When ocean pollution becomes a dead place, what should we humans do? According to the analysis of scientists on the past few mass extinctions on the earth, when marine life begins to decrease and become extinct, ground life will not escape the end of extinction."

"To be honest, I have struggled a few times with the decision to stop production. If I stop production, I will still make money without worrying about it, because our products comply with the laws and regulations of every country."

"I started to search for information on the Internet, and found that the matter of plastic particles has been paid attention to by scientists many years ago. Scientists have published many articles, calling on countries around the world to protect the oceans."

"Although there is no report on the harm of plastic particles to the human body, we can't pretend that we don't know about it. I would like to thank L'Oreal for setting a good example."

"Since last year, L'Oreal's products have begun to adjust the formula and process to completely eliminate plastic particles. I didn't know about this before, but now I know that L'Oreal, like our Tianqi Group, is a company that is responsible for consumers. s company"

"I won't say any more nonsense. You are all supernatural beings. You will definitely find out more information. I hope you can appeal to all human beings to protect the earth and the ocean," Xu Ping'an said here. He bowed deeply to the reporters once again.

"Crack, clap, clap!" The applause of the reporters rang out, and they had really felt Xu Ping'an's sincerity. Xu Ping'an was sincerely appealing to everyone to protect the earth and the ocean.

Xu Pingan straightened up and returned to the speech platform, pressed down with both hands and the scene slowly quieted down, "Once again, I want to announce a bad news. This time, the equipment transformation will take at least one month. After the transformation is completed, the Super Fish Oil The price will inevitably rise, and I hope all consumers will forgive me for this.”

"We have no choice. We need to spend nearly one billion euros for the purchase of equipment and installation. Adding a process will increase the cost of personnel. The cost of extracting fish oil from fish has also risen sharply. After our rough test, our cost will increase by 40.00 % to fifty"

"I know that the price increase will affect many people. There is no way. I must be responsible for Poseidon's employees around the world. They cannot lose their jobs. For this, I can only express my regret once again."

"I will allocate funds for the research and development of the second-generation product, hoping to find a way to cut costs. For the time being, we can only regret it," Xu Pingan announced the news with a face of regret.
