Chapter 242: This is Unfair Competition

"Great, a total of 831 companies have accepted our donated software, based on the calculation of 100 engineers in a company, which is equivalent to 83,000 engineers using Too CAD, what is the proportion of engineers in China?"

"I'm looking up data ......"

"Let's check again what is the output value of these 831 enterprises and what is the proportion of the output value of industrial enterprises in the country. ”

"Did this work?"

"Of course it works, that's our achievement!"

"Okay......"

In the marketing department of Touo's China office, Wang Danhui proudly gave instructions to her subordinate Sun Jie. After nearly two weeks of running by the two of them, the gift of 2,000 sets of genuine Too CAD has been fully implemented. Wang Danhui signed agreements with the ministries and commissions that received the gifts, and then provided the ministries with the CD-ROMs and genuine serial numbers of the software, which can be regarded as the completion of the gift.

Subsequently, Sun Jie was busy for another week, calling various ministries and commissions one by one, asking which companies the software was given to. Some ministries and commissions were more serious, sorted out the list of enterprises that received the gift, and faxed it to Sun Jie. Other ministries simply made a copy of the list of their subordinate companies, claiming that they had all been given software.

Sun Jie took a look and found that the number of companies in the list sent by several ministries and commissions was more than the software she had sent. She called again to make sure, only to get an impatient perfunctory response. Among them, some specific business departments are not enthusiastic about the gift of software from To'au, and they promise to do well on the surface, but in fact they are too lazy to bother. Whether it's genuine or pirated, if the following companies want to use it, there is always a way, is it necessary for the higher departments to do more?

Wang Danhui also knew about this situation, but she still asked Sun Jie to list those doubtful companies in the gift list, and finally made up 831. Wang Danhui has already thought that she will make a very beautiful report, attach the list of these 831 companies, and then send it to the US headquarters by email to prove her work performance.

To write a report, data is indispensable. All kinds of proportions, value evaluations, etc., are all things that Wang Danhui is very good at. She was able to make some very pleasing charts, which is one of the reasons why she was able to get into the position she is now.

"Mr. Wang, someone is looking for it. ”

The little secretary at the front desk called in and reported to Wang Danhui.

"Who is it?" asked Wang Danhui.

"They said it was from the Beijing Industrial and Commercial Bureau. The little secretary replied.

"Industry and Commerce Bureau?" Wang Danhui was stunned, "What are they looking for me for?"

They didn't say anything, they said they wanted to meet the head of the company's marketing department. ”

"That'...... You let them in. ”

The little secretary said yes and hung up the phone. In a few seconds, three staff members in uniforms and big caps walked into Wang Danhui's office. Wang Danhui stepped forward, and after confirming Wang Danhui's identity, one of them introduced himself: "Director Wang, hello, I am the deputy director of the Market Supervision and Management Department of the Beijing Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and my name is Jin Debiao. ”

"Oh, it's Director Jin, disrespectful, please sit down. ”

Wang Danhui said disrespectful in her mouth, but the expression on her face was faint, and there was no respect at all. She nodded to each other, stretched out her hand and motioned for them to sit down on the couch, then sat back at her desk, looking at the three of them calmly, waiting for each other to speak.

Sun Jie had the intention to pour a glass of water for the three guests on the side, but when she asked Wang Danhui for instructions out of the corner of her eye, she didn't get a response from Wang Danhui, so she didn't dare to make her own decisions, so she could only pull a chair and sit next to her and watch.

Jin Debiao felt Wang Danhui's coldness and knew that she was deliberately putting the spectrum of multinational companies in front of him. He smiled slightly, took out a paper clip from his briefcase, held it in his hand, and said to Wang Danhui:

"Director Wang, we are here today because we have received a report from a company accusing the Chinese office of Tuo Company of infringing on their legitimate interests by means of unfair competition through malicious dumping in the market operation, and I would like to ask Director Wang to give an explanation on this matter. ”

"What, malicious dumping?" Wang Danhui frowned, "They accuse us of malicious dumping, is there any evidence?"

"Yes. Jin Debiao said, he opened the clip in his hand, looked at the materials inside, and said: "The company said that in the past three weeks, the Chinese office of Tuo has given free software to no less than 500 industrial enterprises across the country, with a quantity of no less than 1,200 sets, worth more than 15 million yuan." Excuse me, is this true?"

"True...... , which is not entirely true. Wang Danhui said hesitantly. She said it was true because Toot did give away the software. As for not being entirely true, it is because she gave away 2,000 sets of software, not 1,200 sets.

"Director Wang, what do you say is not entirely true?" Jin Debiao asked.

"Quantitatively,...... A little more than you just said, a total of 2,000 sets. Wang Danhui said. She doesn't feel like she's doing anything wrong, so she still needs to clarify the numbers. In case there is any problem in the future, people use numbers to talk about things and accuse her of hiding the truth, she will be a little passive.

"Xiao Zhang, you can record that the software donated by Tuao Company is a total of 2,000 sets. Jin Debiao instructed one of his subordinates, and then asked Wang Danhui: "So, what is the corresponding amount?"

"There's no question of the amount, we're giving it away for free. Wang Danhui said.

"The account cannot be calculated in this way, and the products that are given away for free also have a market value, which can be calculated according to the actual sales price of these products in the market. Jin Debiao said.

"However, it is not illegal for us to give away genuine software to enterprises for free, which is a very normal corporate public relations behavior. Wang Danhui said.

"There is also a limit to the public relations behavior of enterprises, and public relations behavior beyond a certain limit may be an act of unfair competition. "Director Wang, according to our investigation, the sales price of the CAD software donated by Toao to the enterprise this time is 12,800 yuan per set in the Chinese market, and the total value of the donated products is 25.6 million yuan, isn't that the case?"

"So what? We're not selling, we're giving away, so it's not dumping. Wang Danhui said coldly.

"Whether it is dumping or not depends on your motives and consequences. "Article 11 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that business operators shall not sell goods at prices below cost for the purpose of squeezing out competitors. Violation of this article constitutes dumping prohibited by the Anti-Unfair Competition Law.

"Tuao Company gave 2,000 sets of software to users at one time, worth 25.6 million yuan, far beyond the needs of the company's normal public relations publicity, and subjectively has the purpose of squeezing out competitors. At least 285 of the companies that received the software donated by Tuo had originally ordered the Huaxia CAD software produced by New Jingwei, but because they had obtained free software, these companies submitted a return to New Jingwei, which objectively constituted an infringement on the interests of their competitors.

New Jingwei believes that although some of the remaining companies have not ordered Huaxia CAD in advance, they may still become potential users of Huaxia CAD. Due to the free gift of To'o, these companies no longer consider purchasing Huaxia CAD, and New Jingwei Company also suffered losses.

"New Jingwei Company requires our bureau to immediately stop this unfair competition behavior of Tuao Company, eliminate the impact, and compensate New Jingwei Company for its losses. ”

"What, you want us to compensate for the damages? What a joke!" Wang Danhui barked like a cat with its tail stepped on.

This time it was Jin Debiao's turn to sink his face, and he said, "Director Wang, please take this matter seriously." Today we are going to investigate the situation first. Now that the situation has been investigated, the company has donated a total of 2,000 sets of software to users, and the amount involved is as high as 25.6 million yuan.

"Now I would like to orally inform you that Tuo must immediately rectify this act of unfair competition and make a written report to the Beijing Industrial and Commercial Bureau. The Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce will make a formal administrative decision on the correction of the company. ”

Wang Danhui was really a little bottomless in her heart, she forced her composure and asked Jin Debiao: "Is there a basis for you to do this?"

Jin Debiao said: "The oral notice I just made is based on the relevant provisions of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of the People's Republic of China. The reason for the verbal notification was to give Too a chance to correct its mistakes. If Tuo can correct the wrong behavior in a timely manner and obtain the understanding of the whistleblower, New Jingwei, we can not deal with it. If Director Wang refuses to accept our request, then we can issue a formal decision, and there will be no room for manoeuvre. ”

"We are not ......"

Wang Danhui still wanted to argue, but Sun Jie couldn't stand it anymore, so she quickly stood up, interrupted Wang Danhui's words, and said to Jin Debiao: "Director Jin, don't worry, this matter is a bit sudden, please give us a little time to ask the headquarters for instructions." In fact, the fact that we are donating software to enterprises is purely for the purpose of supporting China's modernization, and we have no motive to crowd out competitors......"

"Really?" asked the little Zhang from before with a tiger face.

Sun Jie stubbornly said, "Comrade Zhang, this matter may be a bit misunderstood. We may have inadvertently underthought and inadvertently harmed the interests of our peers. Director Jin, Comrade Zhang, do you think this is good, give us two days, we can understand the specific situation, and then decide how to remedy it?"

Jin Debiao nodded and said, "That's okay." We take into account that Tuo is a foreign-owned company and has given you special attention, as you should understand. Well, give you two days to investigate the situation, and at the same time ask your headquarters for instructions. However, the issue of correcting wrong practices cannot be discounted.

"Two days later, please take the initiative to report the results to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. If we can't effectively eliminate the impact and make up for the losses caused to our peers, we will issue a high fine to Tuo. ”
