Chapter 372: The lawsuit is easy to fight
In the late eighties and early nineties, counterfeit goods began to spread, and product quality problems became a major problem that plagued the national economy and people's livelihood.
Speaking of this trend of fakes, we have to mention the famous Wenzhou.
As the pioneer of reform, Wenzhou has always been on the cusp, from the original eight kings, to today's fakes rampant, and then to the later private equity, real estate speculation group, Wenzhou people always walk in the forefront of reform, and shrewdly find all kinds of loopholes, earning the "tuition" of the latecomers.
Let's talk about fakes, Wenzhou leather shoes are famous all over the world, but the first fake that was widely publicized and exposed was Wenzhou leather shoes. In the past a pair of leather shoes to wear for ten years, or even decades will not break, it is Wenzhou that took the lead in promoting the development of artificial leather shoes, a pair can wear a year is good, this is not enough, what is worse is that the leather shoes made of kraft paper have also been developed, the appearance is only exquisite, more beautiful than leather shoes, but the life of this thing is only a week!
And it is this kind of paper shoes that has finished the country, and even went out of the country, making the name of "Made in China" all over the world, so that for a long time after that, it is difficult for domestic goods to open up the international market, and then they can only rush out through difficult trade negotiations, OEM for foreign manufacturers, and the acquisition of foreign brands......
In 91 years, counterfeit and shoddy goods have had a severe impact on the lives of the people, and under the turbulent public opinion, the March 15 party came into being.
However, Wu Tian knows very well that there is no way to reverse the trend of counterfeit and shoddy products just by relying on the March 15 party one day a year, and it can only be said that it has eliminated too many fakes such as paper shoes in a certain process, and the state cannot keep up in terms of supervision and investigation. It's just a matter of getting fakes from the ground to the ground. From light to darkness......
In general, though. There is a 315 party, which still has some effect, at least the problem products that were exposed at the party have absolutely no chance of surviving.
After Lin's ham sausage was exposed, the negative effect far exceeded Lin Junting's imagination, and the frenzy of returns directly swallowed up all the working capital in the factory, and the market share evaporated in just one week. There is still no way to recover even a little negative impact, and even Ni Dashao came forward in person, but he couldn't get CCTV to make a little concession.
At this moment, the large number of return convoys at the gate of Lin's Meat Products Factory suddenly disappeared, Lin Junting was puzzled, and at the same time, he quickly asked the secretary to call the doorman over and ask for a long time, and Mr. Lin suddenly felt a smell of conspiracy......
Just yesterday evening, several unknown people came to find the returning merchants who blocked the gate of Lin's Meat Products Factory, and after a while, the merchants actually left with trucks!
They don't say returns. What is the situation when someone mutters about leaving the scene? To say that there is no problem in it. That's weird!
The poor doorman didn't hear what those mysterious people said to the merchants, Lin Junting asked the doorman to retreat, and at the same time hurriedly recruited the factory director and several business executives in the factory, and asked them to start to inquire about the news separately.
However, before the factory directors and supervisors inquired about the situation, the bad news had already come directly to the door......
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
"Contemptible Wang Yang is the general manager of the mall Dayang Trading Company, this is my business card......"
Lin Junting looked at the polite young man, but he was beating the drum in his heart, and he always felt that he was not a good person.
As soon as the doorman went back just now, he immediately called again, but said that there was a person who wanted to visit Mr. Lin by name. Lin Junting couldn't help frowning a little, because not many people knew about his visit to Yunan, especially those merchants, and even many of them didn't know about Lin Junting's deposit, let alone come to the door directly.
In view of the problem of the disappearance of the returned merchant last night, and the other party only came to the door single-handedly, Lin Junting did not hide, and directly agreed to let him enter the factory gate that had been locked for several days.
"Hehe, Mr. Wang, hello, hello, please sit ......down," Lin Junting said with a coping smile on his face.
"There's no need to sit, let's open the skylight and say something." Wang Yang took out a stack of papers and bills from his briefcase and said, "Mr. Lin, I came to talk to you about returning the goods." ”
"Returns?" Lin Junting took the text handed over by Wang Yang, but it was all some of Lin's ham sausages and goods transfer agreements, which were as many as a few tens, but it turned out that those merchants sold all the goods to Wang Yang yesterday.
Lin Junting's heart was knotted, what is the situation? This guy is full of food and wants to help us put out the fire? Well, could it be that this guy saw that those merchants couldn't return the goods, and they couldn't afford to delay the time, so they simply lowered the price, took the product back, and then counted on us to return the goods, in order to make a difference? If this is the case, you also need to deal with it carefully, after all, those who dare to do this kind of thing must have a certain force behind them, and they think that they can eat us......
In any case, he just wants to make the difference, after all, people are doing us a big favor - facing that large group of merchants blocking the door, if you don't do it, you will be smashed and the region will intervene strongly. That's a lot of trouble. Now he only needs to face this Wang Yang alone. Even if there is some force behind him. You can say some good things and talk about the relationship, we don't have to pay the bill, we just need to let him grace a little time, and the problem is much easier to solve.
"Oh, that's right, hehe, Mr. Wang. You better sit down and have a cup of tea. Lin Junting's mind was turning, and he had already put on a warm smile, not caring at all that Wang Yang was much younger than him, so he just invited Wang Yang to sit down on the sofa, and instructed the beautiful female secretary to quickly serve a cup of tea, and then said, "Mr. Wang, I really want to thank you for this, you don't know." Those small merchants who returned the goods were too unsophisticated. The noisy and noisy also blocked the factory gate, which is really unusual. Thanks to you, it's finally quiet......"
"Mr. Lin, are you looking for the wrong person for this? I'm just for business, and I don't have the question of whether I can help or not. Wang Yang said lightly.
"Alas, no matter what, this is a great favor, I have to thank you a lot, hehe......" Lin Junting smiled cheekily, but his eyes rolled again, it stands to reason that ordinary people heard this, even if they pushed the boat down the river, they should also accept this talk, and they should continue to negotiate in the next step, but this person still has to be a living Lei Feng?
"Mr. Lin, let's talk about the refund." Wang Yang didn't answer Lin Junting's words anymore, just said.
"Okay, good, alas......" Lin Junting sighed again, and immediately put on a sad face, and said, "Mr. Wang, I won't tell you, there have been some problems in the factory recently, and you also know that there are too many returns, and the funds in the factory are a little unable to turn over for a while." But don't worry, this is only temporary, I have contacted the funds, and it will be in place soon, and your payment will definitely be refunded to you as soon as possible......"
"Mr. Lin, they are all people who understand, let's talk about this kind of thing." Wang Yang said.
"Debts? How can you pay your debts? Hehe, Mr. Wang, you just have to rest assured, just because you have helped me a lot, I will definitely not rely on this account......" Lin Junting said with a smirk.
"Okay, let's get the money quickly. The total amount of goods here is 14,286,000 yuan, including the dozens of truckloads of goods at the gate of your factory yesterday, as well as a large number of returns that were stopped directly from the railway station recently. Wang Yang said, "According to the Consumer Protection Law, as well as the false one-for-ten advertisement you made last year, you also need to compensate me 142.86 million yuan, which is our company's account." ”
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
The figures reported by Wang Yang made Lin Junting directly dumbfounded.
It's not that Mr. Lin hasn't heard of such a big number, as the head of the Lin family, Lin Junting has handled more big business, more than 100 million is really nothing, the key problem is that this is to make him lose money, and he can't accept it if he wants to lose such an astronomical amount all of a sudden.
This kid is crazy, does he really dare to open his mouth?
But the problem is that what people say is also true, Lin's Meat Products Factory did play a fake one-for-ten advertisement, that was at the end of last year, in order to compete with Huatian, the CCTV advertisement was replaced......
In the past two years, fakes have been rampant, and many manufacturers have played various compensation gimmicks in order to advertise that their product quality is guaranteed. The meat industry in Shannan has also entered an era of fierce competition.
Shannan now produces ham sausage meat product factories, there are as many as five or six scales, those relatively small county-level enterprises, or small private factories are countless, the market competition is fierce, the product quality is inevitably shrinking, the meat content of the product from the most Zhaohuatian food 80%, has been reduced to 20% of the cheapest one of Lin's is insufficient!
On one side are cheap products. One side includes Huatian Food. There are as many as four advertisements on CCTV! Each family has its own unique skills. Shoot the ad as creatively as possible.
In this case, Huatian ham sausage launched an advertisement about product quality, the advertising content reversed the original Huatian advertising of the sophisticated system, it is very vulgar to promote a Huatian ham sausage using real fresh pork, and to achieve the nominal meat content on the product packaging, claiming that the fake one pays ten!
This vulgar low-level advertisement has achieved quite good results, and it seems that consumers are very happy with the concept. In a short period of time, the market share of Huatian ham sausage has increased by three percent!
However, Chinese people do business, never know what the position is, this Huatian's advertising just had a little effect, the three immediately followed the trend, Lin also followed the trend and launched a temporary ham sausage quality assurance advertisement, also played the best advertising words in this year - fake one pays ten!
It's a pity that because of such an advertising slogan, someone really comes to the door to claim more than 100 million, right? This is also too nonsense, you must know that the entire Lin's Meat Products Factory only claimed to have raised 180 million yuan, and the actual investment is only a little more than 100 million, which is not enough to compensate others!
looked at Wang Yang's indifferent expression. Lin Junting suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a pit, a deep and big pit. And the bottom of the pit is still quicksand......
Now it is obvious that this Wang Yang is definitely not here to help us, and he is not here for a little difference in the return price, his throat is deep, and he wants to swallow our company directly......
But this throat is too deep, right? Can you really swallow our factory with just a few words? You're treating yourself too much!
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
"Brother Wang, are you back so soon? Did you see the surname Lin? ”
In an old house on the outskirts of Yunan City, Wu Tian saw Wang Yang enter the door and asked with a smile.
Speaking of this Wang Yanglai, in fact, he is not an outsider, it is the nephew of Xia Tieshan, the Propaganda Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, a top student in the law department, who was originally assigned to the Intermediate Court of the Mall, but this guy doesn't look white, but he is a restless master, he doesn't listen to the orders of the leader in the hall, and he doesn't talk about accommodation at all when judging the case.
It just so happened that when Wu Tian went to pay a New Year's greeting to Uncle Xia during the New Year, he met Wang Yang, and Wang Yang, who had a few flickering words, simply resigned and went to the sea, and followed Wu Tian to mess up, which made Secretary Xia blow his beard and stare at Wu Tian and call and scold Wu Tian twice, but in the end he had no choice but to give up.
However, Wang Yang finally found that he was fooled by Wu Tian. Because Wu Tian originally said that he should come out, open a law firm, and help people fight lawsuits and avenge their grievances, but after he didn't want to come out, Wu Tian helped him open an economic and trade company and made him a big boss. Fortunately, Wu Tian made it clear that the only purpose of this company is to fight a lawsuit, but Wang Yang cannot be a lawyer, but a plaintiff.
"See." Wang Yang said with a smile.
"Oh, what about Mr. Lin's attitude?" Wu Tian asked with interest.
"Well, it's a good idea." Wang Yang said seriously.
Wu Tian was stunned for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and said, "The old thing is still pretending to be tough? That's okay, no matter him, let's continue, and we'll go to the court in the afternoon to hand over the pleadings and sue him, haha. ”
"Xiaotian, do you really want to sue them?" Wang Yang said worriedly, "As I said, we have little chance of winning this case, and there is no similar precedent in China. Even the money invested in these acquisitions and returns in the early stage will drag on for a long time and cannot be recovered......"
Wu Tian smiled slightly. However, he didn't want to explain it to Wang Yang seriously. After all, Wang Yang's temperament is a bit upright, or pedantic, so he didn't have to say it too clearly, which made him angry and picked on him halfway.
"Brother Wang, let's sue them, the purpose is not for money, but to expose them as scammers. Let the people look at their faces, and the momentum must be bigger, maybe in order to set an example, maybe we will win the lawsuit. Wu Tian said with a smile.
Wang Yang nodded and said: "If it can really be like that, we will become a case of product quality claims, which will have a very important reference significance for similar cases in the future, and even be very helpful to reverse the current situation of the proliferation of counterfeit goods......
Wu Tian smiled silently, Wang Yang has some nerdy knowledge, but obviously, even if he wins the lawsuit this time. That's definitely not the credit of the law, but his identity. ...... caused by their own background
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
The first case in China in which a huge amount of claims with funds of more than 100 million yuan was made because of product quality problems, and it became vigorous and boiling for a while......
For a time, almost all large and medium-sized newspapers and periodicals in China were tracking and reporting on this claim case, and various reporters followed up and experts analyzed it one after another, becoming the focus of public opinion at present.
However, it is a pity that Lin's ham sausage factory has already stopped production, not only the Yunan industry and commerce, health, quarantine and other departments jointly issued a document to shut down their production equipment, the key is that even if they produce, the products cannot be sold, and the factory has long been full of returns......
And the impact of public opinion is far more than that, it seems that Lin's ham sausage has become a rat crossing the street, like a water dog, everyone wants to jump over and hit twice, for example, there are a lot of inexplicable accusations against Lin's ham sausage in the newspaper recently, claiming to eat Lin's ham sausage diarrhea and gastroenteritis reports, Lin Junting knows very well, even if these are made up by reporters in order to attract attention - because these problems cannot be confirmed at all, but Lin's brand is completely smashed, and there is absolutely no chance of a comeback.
But even if the brand is smashed, the factory can't do without it, after all, it has assets of hundreds of millions of yuan!
But the problem is that this lawsuit has been unavoidable - not to mention that this is Yunan, and now it has become the territory of the Wu family, that little opponent is eager to see his own jokes, and even this matter was directed by them, only to say that now that public opinion is in the limelight, the Yunan Court will definitely not raise its noble hand and let itself go.
Lin Junting had already mentioned to Ni Dashao many times that he would give up Yunan's meat product factory after Wu Jianguo became the commissioner of Yunan, but Ni Dashao disagreed, so he could only try to keep a low profile, only thinking about letting Wu Jianguo not trouble himself, and stay up until Wu Jianguo left Yunan, and then continue to implement Ni Dashao's plan and continue to fight with Huatian, but he didn't want to stay up after all, and the crisis finally broke out.
The poor official has Wu Jianguo in charge, and the public opinion is quite unfavorable to himself, this factory is obviously worthless, even if the guy who jumped out whimsically and tried to claim compensation can't win the lawsuit, this factory can't continue, the next step can only be considered to sell cheaply, and it is only right to withdraw as much as possible. Even Lin Junting is considering that when he transfers the meat product factory, he can take advantage of it - Lin's meat product factory is not Lin Junting's family, and there are also shares in the Yunan region and county, as well as some small shareholders.
However, Lin Junting found that he had no chance to transfer some of the assets in the factory, so he sent someone to take over the factory as early as after the Yunan Court accepted the case. And sealed the accounts!
Lin Junting couldn't say that there was one more thing on his mind - the accounts in the factory were not clean enough. Not to mention the profits of the minority shareholders deducted by the current factory director on weekdays. Just saying that he transferred the borrowed funds from the meat factory to the machinery factory in the previous period is quite a headache......
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
"Xiaotian, win!"
As soon as Wang Yang entered the gate of the small courtyard, he shouted excitedly.
"Hehe, it's not me who won, it's you who won." Wu Tian said with a smile, but he was not surprised at all by the good news reported by Wang Yang - this was expected. What's there to be excited about?
After the trial of the Yunan Intermediate People's Court, Dayang Trading Company sued Lin's Meat Products Factory for the quality of the ham sausages produced by the Meat Products Factory, defrauded consumers, and made a tenfold claim according to their advertising promises, and finally sentenced Dayang Trading to win the lawsuit, demanding compensation from the Lin's Meat Products Factory with a total value of more than 140 million yuan!
There is no doubt that this case can be said to be down to ordinary people, up to the general manager of industry and commerce. Bureau, etc. Central Ministry. The case that the leaders of the committee are highly concerned about is in the course of the trial that lasted for a month. Under considerable pressure.
These pressures came from all sides, including Secretary Qi and Commissioner Wu in Yunan. Including Secretary Liu in the province, including the various lobbyists sought by the Lin family, and even senior leaders, as well as media public opinion, ordinary people, etc., some want the Yunan Intermediate People's Court to win the Dayang Commercial and Trade lawsuit, and some want to win the Lin case, but no matter which one it is, the reasons are very different.
You must know that as Wang Yang said, this case will have a benchmark impact on the overall situation of the country in the future, once Dayang wins the lawsuit, it means that the consumer claim is reasonable and legitimate, and it is inevitable that some leaders who hate to take advantage of loopholes will emerge more and more people like Dayang in the future, so do you want a normal market order? Manufacturers have to worry about being claimed all day long, so do they need to produce and operate with peace of mind?
Of course, many of the supporters believe that if Dayang wins and supports more anti-counterfeiters, then the environment of the national anti-counterfeiting will undoubtedly form a strict supervision for manufacturers, which will make them understand the importance of quality in order to improve the quality of products......
The Yunan Intermediate People's Court can be said to have withstood the pressure from many parties, and finally completed the largest claim lawsuit in the history of Yunan, and finally sentenced Lin to lose the lawsuit.
But obviously, the matter is not over here, the Lin family will definitely not be so easy to give into, even if it is a dying struggle, it will have to appeal!
"Well, Brother Wang, has the Lin family raised any appeals?" Wu Tian turned his mouth and asked.
"Having said that, the court said that an appeal would be formally filed tomorrow." Wang Yang said.
"Hehe, the surname Lin still seems to be very unconvinced?" Wu Tian shook his head with a smile and said, "Mingzi, how are the preparations over there?" ”
"It's ready to go." Jia Ming touched the mustache he had just grown and said.
"Then let's do it!" Wu Tian patted his thigh and said.
"Good!" Jia Ming said, grabbed a phone call from Big Brother, and shouted at the top of his voice, but he called a director and asked them to report the situation......
In fact, it's very simple, Wu Tian didn't plan to let Lin Junting appeal again!
Although even if Lin Junting continues to appeal the case to the Provincial High Court, it is unlikely that they will win the case, because the province is now Wu Tian's territory, even if the Lin family has the big backer of the Ni family, but their power is still not enough in Shannan. And the political and legal system has always been Secretary Liu's backyard, and Lu Jianming has now concurrently served as the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, so it is really not much difficulty to win this lawsuit.
However, Wu Tian was really in no mood to waste time entangled with the Lin family, so he simply knocked him to death with a stick.
Therefore, as early as the lawsuit was going on here, Wu Tian arranged for Jia Ming to hook up with the people from the industrial and commercial bureau who blocked the Lin family's meat products factory, and a financial account was enough to nail Lin Junting to death - the meat product factory was not the Lin family's, and Lin Junting borrowed funds privately, which was an illegal act - although this problem was very common in recent years, it was not a big deal, but someone could not be held accountable, that was the problem!
With the millions of dollars he borrowed, it was enough to lock him in, and when the time came, it would be up to him Lin Junting to kill him or to ask for money!
Annoying? Then lose money, more than 140 million! It seems that Lin Junting is not worth so much money? That's what we earned!
Want money? That's okay, you will be convicted of embezzlement, and you will continue to sue for a few years, but it will be a waste of our time, and you will have to lose in the end! (To be continued......)
