Chapter 140: The First Year of Poisoned Milk
The next day, Liang Yifei went to Shangpin Dairy Company, and the people in the company, especially Manager Cui, were very enthusiastic about him and pulled him to chat for a long time.
In the words of Manager Cui, he has worked for so many years, only the time when he worked with Liang Yifei was the most comfortable.
Although Manager Cui said this somewhat flatteringly, Liang Yifei did feel that the morale of those employees of Shangpin Dairy was low, and the dividends brought to them by milk ice cream had been eaten up.
The winter vacation was supposed to be the peak season for sales, but the sales performance of the sales department has been declining step by step.
People are listed companies, what do you take to fight with others, you want quality and quality, and people are willing to spend money.
Liang Yifei went to the street again, Xie Rumeng's billboards can still be seen everywhere, but they are already a little yellowed, and in some places, no one can help the billboards when they fall, and some people are stepping on them without notice.
When Liang Yifei tried to buy the dairy products of Shangpin Dairy, the merchant actually recommended the products of the Fierce Cow Company to him.
"Little brother, buy fierce cow milk, they are listed companies, the quality is guaranteed, and the price is cheaper."
Liang Yifei knows that in 2000, a large number of foreign brands of milk and milk powder entered the Chinese market, and in the first-tier cities, fierce cattle have been squeezed by those internationally renowned brands and have little room to survive.
Fierce bulls can't do those internationally renowned brands, so they turn around and bully those small dairy companies in third- and fourth-tier cities, and Liang Yifei remembers that in this year, many dairy companies added melamine to their products in order to reduce costs and improve product competitiveness.
The melamine incident did not break out until 2008, when it was due to a large number of stones in infants who took milk powder containing melamine, which attracted the attention of relevant departments.
Liang Yifei clearly remembers that when the melamine incident broke out, the Fierce Bull Company was not spared, just because the people who drank milk were older, and the harm was not as obvious as that of milk powder.
Liang Yifei bought a bag of milk from a fierce cow, and to be honest, the pocket was indeed more palatable than Shangpin's milk, but he was not sure whether the batch of milk he drank contained melamine.
According to his memories before the time-trip, Liang Yifei remembers that the milk and milk powder companies began to produce melamine-containing products in the second half of 2000, and at their production rate, a large number of toxic dairy products have now entered the market.
Liang Yifei really wanted to send the dairy products of the fierce cow company for inspection, but the agency in Rongcheng couldn't check it at all.
Liang Yifei immediately called Han Miao and asked her to help contact the professor of the Department of Chemistry at Suzhou University.
Han Miao quickly sent Professor Tang from the Department of Chemistry a phone call, and when Liang Yifei said on the phone that he suspected that many manufacturers were now adding melamine to dairy products, Professor Tang's answer was particularly decisive.
"How is it possible, melamine is a carcinogen belonging to class 2B, and this kind of thing will kill people if it is imported."
"Professor Tang, don't think about it from the perspective of human nature, just say that there is no commercial value in mixing a small amount of melamine into dairy products."
Professor Tang pondered for a moment, and then said.
"Yes, because the protein content of dairy products is now tested by detecting the concentration of nitrogen, and adding a small amount of melamine can greatly increase the concentration of nitrogen, and the general testing agency will consider its protein content to be high, so it is judged to be of high quality."
"Does the addition of melamine have any effect on the taste?"
Liang Yifei then asked.
"Melamine itself is odorless and does not affect the taste, but it is very toxic, and the content of more than 3mg in a kilogram will cause obvious harm to the body."
"Professor Tang, can our school's laboratory detect the content of melamine in dairy products?"
"Of course, the technology is already very mature, and there is no difficulty."
After communicating with Professor Tang, Liang Yifei told Han Miao to go to the market to buy a bag of milk with a production date before May 2000 and a bag of the latest milk, and then asked her to give it to Professor Tang for Professor Tang to help test it.
Professor Tang is a typical workaholic, even if a strange student asks him for something, he does not relax, and early the next morning, Liang Yifei received a call from Professor Tang.
On the phone, Professor Tang's heart was particularly heavy.
"Liang Yifei, how did you think that these manufacturers would add melamine to dairy products?"
"Professor Tang, are the test results out?"
"It's out, it's seriously exceeded, every bag of milk is a talisman that sends us to cancer, how can these people be so desperate to make money?"
When Liang Yifei heard this, although he was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback.
Professor Tang is the kind of intellectual who has never experienced the dangers of society, and in his heart, everyone is kind, fair and loves each other.
This kind of person Liang Yifei respects from the heart.
"Professor Tang, I want to ban these dairy products from circulating in the market, and I hope you can provide me with technical support."
Liang Yifei said sincerely.
"This is a good deed, what kind of technical support, I immediately reacted to the relevant departments, Liang Yifei, it's really good, very socially responsible, our students at Su University are different."
"Professor Tang, if you have time, you can help test the melamine content of those milk powders, this matter is too big, I'm afraid it can't be solved in a few words."
Liang Yifei knew that in 2008, if it were not for several cases of babies in the hospital who had kidney stones due to long-term use of a domestic milk powder, the poisoned milk powder would still not attract enough attention from the society.
Now the harm of poisoned milk powder has not come out at all, and it is not an easy thing to make more than a dozen manufacturers suffer huge economic losses with just one sentence, so he sounded the alarm bell to the simple Professor Tang in advance.
"Okay, I'll let people do this in the next few days, what's the matter with the big involved, if it is involved, it will be able to take people's lives, our Su University takes so much scientific research funds from the state every year, it's time to repay the society."
Liang Yifei wanted to say something, but when he thought that the other party was a professor at Suzhou University and a heavyweight scientist who enjoyed the State Council allowance, his words should attract enough attention from relevant departments and institutions.
Liang Yifei didn't pour cold water on Professor Tang's enthusiasm, but just said some kind words similar to waiting for good news.
