Zhou Fangyuan hasn't done anything in the past few days, of course he will care about and be responsible for the daily operation of the company, in fact, most of the companies under the Yuanfang Group don't need him to be responsible, he just needs to grasp the general direction.

So in recent days, he has been paying attention to this food safety incident in Kimbolo.

On the Internet, the news about this incident has already boiled over, I have to say that Kim Polo has been operating in good faith over the years, in fact, it is still effective, at least there is no swarm of scolding Kim Polo on the Internet, in fact, most netizens still understand Kim Polo, after all, Kim Polo has always been health, hygiene, safety and delicious. This time, no matter what the root cause of the problem is, in terms of external publicity, the current Yuanfang Group is still determined to be ineffective in supervision. They voluntarily admitted their mistakes, and the group also provided the full medical expenses and compensation for the patients.

Zhou Fangyuan originally planned to go to Haishi and apologize to the patient in person, but then he held back.

It's not that he's cold-hearted, it's that he has more important things to do now.

The situation on the patient's side is also under investigation, after all, he does not rule out that someone deliberately blackmailed, or colluded inside and outside to extort money, so he has hired someone to hire a private investigator to investigate this matter. Of course, what a private detective investigates cannot go to court, and the court will not admit it. But if he knows that it is really internal and external collusion, and that these patients are really deliberately blackmailing, he also has a way to clean them up.

Of course, that's a later story, the most important thing now is to investigate and collect evidence, and at the same time find a way to settle the matter.

The only thing that makes him more relaxed is that there is no movement in the domestic mainstream media, although there are also media reports on this incident, but they are still in a relatively neutral position, and they do not blindly maintain the Yuanfang Group, and their colleagues do not exaggerate and fall into the ground. On the Internet, of course, some people scolded Jin Polo for being a black-hearted fast food, and some people also shouted, suggesting that the relevant state departments should punish Jin Polo severely, and it is best to let them close the door directly.

For these people, Zhou Fangyuan also has some ways to deal with them, for example, he himself uses Weibo to let some accounts that have a good cooperative relationship with Weibo say something good to the Yuanfang Group as much as possible without causing disgust to others.

A few days passed, and the investigation report finally came up.

By comparing all the sealed semi-finished product numbers, and then reviewing the internal transportation records of the Yuanfang Group, it was finally determined that this batch of chicken was not made by the food company under the Yuanfang Group, but came from some small workshops. After receiving this answer, the investigators of the relevant departments immediately went to find and seal down the small workshops, but by the time they passed, the small workshops had long since disappeared. Quite simply, it was the work of insiders, the manager of the store in Haishi, the manager of Kufa, and the driver of the transport team, and of course they were all taken away for further interrogation. The interrogation turned out to be nothing, and the people only said that they were trying to make more money.

But their words have no credibility for Zhou Fangyuan at all, the store manager is a native of Haishi, the warehouse manager is a migrant worker from other places in Haishi, and the driver of the transport team is a native of Beitong, these people are not related to each other, to say that they can be linked together, it is not impossible, but Zhou Fangyuan always feels that it is not so simple. You know, the salary of the warehouse manager may be very average, but the store manager, especially the manager of the direct store in a big city like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the company is very high, and the transportation team is not bad.

The meat used by the distant food company is directly transported from the farm, because of the large scale, the cost of meat raw materials is very low, far cheaper than buying meat directly from the outside, the profit of small workshops is actually not as high as that of large farms, they can only buy meat in bulk, and the meat bought in bulk, unless it is the kind of zombie meat, otherwise it is not cheaper than the meat on the farm anyway, and the meat on the farm is still fresh. Well, let's not talk about the cost, let's talk about all the purchase orders.

Because it is a directly operated store, the meat used in the store is sent directly, and unlike the franchise store, the directly operated store does not pay much attention to revenue, even if it is a matter of the company, the job of the store manager is to take care of the store. If he has a cooperative relationship with those small workshops, or even if the small workshops are made by him, in fact, his reasons are reasonable. But the problem is that all the data of the directly operated store is networked, and the directly operated store in Haishi can have a daily turnover, how many things can be sold, and how much needs to be purchased every month or half a month, all of which are recorded with data, which can be high or low, but cannot change significantly.

If the store manager quietly uses the meat he gets, then it will inevitably affect the sales of normal meat, and the sales volume will not go up, and there will be a large number of piled up products in the warehouse, and the number of purchases in the next month will inevitably decrease. So what's the use of a small amount of change? If this store manager wants to make money, he is bound to replace the meat sent by the headquarters with a large amount of meat that he gets himself, and he doesn't want to be discovered.

What's more, they are three people making money together!

If the profit is not enough, you have to carry the risk of being found out about breaking the law, which is completely more than worth the loss.

Zhou Fangyuan doesn't think there are such stupid people in the world.

Then the matter is clear.

Someone must have instructed them to do this, and then let them take the blame after the incident, and the other party must have given them a lot of benefits, otherwise these three people would not have done this. Especially the man in the convoy, his wife works on the farm, and so does he himself, if there is not enough interest, why would he betray the distant group? What is the result of the betrayal? Doesn't he know it?

Not only will he go to prison and lose his job, but his wife will also lose his job, so it is absolutely a lie to say that they want to make money for themselves, and someone must have instructed them to do so.

But...... Zhou Fangyuan is far from the group of constant gathering.

Even if you find a private detective, it's useless, and let alone a private detective, people in the state department can't find anything, they can only say that the other party's finish is too clean, so they can't find it if they want to, these people would rather go to jail and insist that this thing is done by themselves.

But Zhou Fangyuan definitely couldn't believe their words, he knew that there must be someone behind them.

So who is the ghost?

Zhou Fangyuan set his sights on several multinational companies that had been crazy about competing with Jin Polo for the market since the year before.

They are the only ones who have the ability and motivation to attack Kim Polo. Of course, he couldn't be sure who did it, he couldn't be sure if these people did it, and it was possible that there were any other people who did it specifically to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

It's just that now he can't think much about this situation.

Not to mention anything else, just such an incident, Jin Polo's direct loss is tens of millions of yuan, and the indirect loss is immeasurable.

The decline in market share, the decline in brand reputation, these are immeasurable losses, he is not the kind of person who goes against the grain, others slap him on the left cheek and he still puts the right cheek over, he is not the kind of person who has no temper. Since someone made the first move, then he has nothing to say.

But before that, he had to reassure the patient.

So, on the second day after the investigation report came out, he flew to Haishi, personally visited a few patients who had eaten badly, comforted them, left a large number of gifts, and assured that they could rest assured that all the medical expenses would be paid for them by the Yuanfang Group, and according to the severity of the disease, they were compensated with compensation ranging from 500,000 to 1 million. The Haishi directly operated stores were closed for rectification, and all franchisees within the Haishi were also inspected, and not only that, but the entire Jinpolo internal self-inspection, including food companies and transportation fleets, were all subject to internal investigations.

Fortunately, in terms of the media, everyone has always been more restrained. Previously, because there was no official media to speak, coupled with the efforts of the public relations department of Yuanfang Group, other media did not publish too much news. Now that the results of the investigation have been released, the official media spoke out first, and characterized this incident as an internal management negligence on the part of Kim Polo. Except for a very small number of southern media who did not give face to the distant group and exaggerated it, most of the media were still relatively restrained, which did not further expand the losses of the distant group.

For this reason, the money spent by the Yuanfang Group on various media is not a small amount, Zhou Fangyuan wants to say that it is not distressed, but it is more angry.

Whoever it is, you won't be happy if you are yin like this, not to mention that Jin Polo has been financing recently, which was good, but it turned out to be such a thing, and the financing was suspended.

If Zhou Fangyuan didn't take revenge, how could he swallow this breath? Of course, as mentioned above, he couldn't be sure who did it, but it didn't matter, he had already set his sights on those multinational companies, anyway, whether it was them or not, everyone's competition had already reached the level of bayonet red, this time, he would take this opportunity to toss them.

So, almost half a month later, a post on Weibo suddenly became popular.

Its content is the "Decision on Emergency Measures for Chili Peppers and Chili Products" just promulgated by the European Union in June this year.

In this decision, the EU called for a ban on the import of chili products adulterated with Sudan dye.

Also on June 14 this year, the British Food Standards Administration FSA issued a warning to consumers and trade organizations on the "Sudan No. 1" pigment containing potential carcinogens found in a batch of new foods in supermarkets, and required food manufacturers to continue to be vigilant against red pollution, and strictly prohibit the use of "Sudan No. 1" containing potential carcinogens and prohibited products.

It doesn't make sense that this post is hot, after all, this is an EU affair, what does it have to do with the country?

However, Zhou Fangyuan knows that at most next year, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China will issue the "Emergency Notice on Strengthening the Inspection and Supervision of Food Containing Sudan Dye (No. 1)", requiring an inventory of food sold in China, especially imported food, to prevent food containing Sudan dyes from being sold in the market. And next year, the relevant parties in Beijing will detect "Sudan Red No. 1" in Heinz chili sauce. Soon, the "Tantan Pepper Radish" produced by Shonan Tantan Spice Food Co., Ltd. will also be found to contain "Sudan Red No. 1".

By 315 next year at the latest, trace amounts of Sudan dyes (No. 1) will be found in the New Orleans Roast Wings and New Orleans Roast Chicken Thigh Burger Seasoning. Subsequently, the relevant departments in Beijing found again in the inspection that the "spicy pickled powder" used in the three products of "Spicy Chicken Leg Burger", "Spicy Chicken Wings" and "Violent Chicken Rice Flower" contained "Sudan Red No. 1".

Zhou Fangyuan had heard this news in his previous life, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now, he cares about it very much, and he decided to detonate all this in advance.

Not only Kende chicken, but also multinational companies such as McDonald's and Bijike will use similar chili seasonings, and there will be a large number of similar seasonings in China.

This "Sudan Red No. 1", simply put, is a man-made chemical agent that is banned from food production in most countries around the world. This pigment is commonly used in industrial applications, such as dyeing products such as motor oils, waxes and shoe polishes. Sudan Red No. 1 causes cancer in rodents, and it has also been shown to be carcinogenic in human liver cell studies. As early as '02, researchers found that they can cause DNA mutations in human liver cells, showing potentially carcinogenic properties. According to the requirements of the European Community, all dry, crushed or ground chili peppers entering any European Community country must not contain "Sudan No. 1", and China will also explicitly prohibit the addition of Sudan No. 1 to food in the future.

All the similar seasonings used by the Yuanfang Group are purchased directly from the place of origin, and with the establishment of farms by the Yuanfang Agricultural Company throughout the country, there is also a large planting area for things such as seasonings, and a large part of all the seasonings used, such as chili powder, are self-produced, and only a small part is purchased. But even if it is purchased, there should be no problem.

And after the above incident, the Yuanfang Group did find some problems after a comprehensive internal investigation, and it did not involve the part of seasonings, but it was equivalent to sounding the alarm.

After a period of internal adjustment, after confirming that there was no problem, Zhou Fangyuan let Weibo publish this post internally, and through the dark box operation in the background, the post was directly popular.

After getting more and more people's attention, a post was quietly launched, the poster was a seemingly ordinary account, but in fact, this account has always been the official account of Weibo, but it has never been enabled. Now that it has suddenly been launched, the content of the post is very simple, that is, it has found that fast food restaurants such as Kentucky Chicken and McDonald have used Sudan dyes.

Then, public opinion exploded in an instant!
