Soon, the experts of the Qiongyang Academy of Science came to a conclusion.

Fake Tianquan mineral water is ordinary tap water with aspartame added. To my surprise, the raw materials for the bottles with mineral water and the bottles for real mineral water came from the same batch of polyethylene. And that's a coincidence.

The difference is the bottle cap, and the material used is slightly different.

Other than that, there is no other difference, the labels are all true.

That is, the mineral water bottle is real, the water is filled with tap water, plus a new lid.

The law firm's investigation has also reached a conclusion.

They compared the number of purchases and sales of merchants according to the number of purchases and sales, except for 5 large shopping malls in Xijing, the sales volume of other small supermarkets and small shopping malls was greater than the purchase volume.

It was preliminarily concluded that those small supermarkets and small shopping malls were selling fake goods.

According to the comparison of the sales volume of mineral water sold by us to various shopping malls in Xijing City, the conclusion of the law firm is further proved.

But to their surprise, none of the malls could provide the full addresses and names of the counterfeit sellers.

It is said that it is a person who pretends to be our delivery person, or it is the goods delivered by logistics express, cash on delivery, and the other party received the money and left, leaving no documents.

From this point I am sure that as long as it is 100% of this delivery method is all fake. Because according to my requirements, it's all about payment before delivery.

As for the payment methods of those bosses in several wholesale outlets in Xijing, that is their problem.

However, I was speechless by the facts.

The dozen or so wholesale points also initially asked the other party to pay for the goods first. Later, it was found that some shopping malls did not wholesale their mineral water at all, so they changed the payment method and paid on delivery.

I speculate that it was from that time that fake mineral water entered the Xijing market. It was because of their arrival that the previous collection methods of various wholesale outlets were disrupted.

Even later, it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

However, the law firm gave another opinion.

Those bosses who sell counterfeits, they know that the goods they sell are fake, and they still know that they are selling fakes. The fundamental reason for this is that fakes are cheaper, and the profits are more than selling the real thing before. In order not to be held accountable, they also bought some genuine goods to confuse the public.

In Xijing, the retail price of Tianquan mineral water is 10 yuan per bottle, the wholesale price is 6 yuan, and the retailer has a profit margin of 4 yuan. They can earn 6 bucks by selling fakes. This high profit is the motivation for them to know and sell fakes.

The law firm estimates that the counterfeiters have made nearly 10 million dollars in profits in just two months, based on the sales volume that has been identified.

"Check! Check it out! Counterfeiting dens must be eradicated! ”

I was furious.

But the law firm can't check it anymore.

Even if I paid them, they wouldn't want to look again.

In a fit of rage, I went into battle myself.

I took Han Xiaobai and went to Xijing.

Bai Luoxue stayed and continued the promotion of honey.

I temporarily relied on Xie Qingsong for the promotion of fresh fish, as well as the wholesale of fresh mushrooms, and also asked him to keep an eye on it, and contact me in time if he has any questions.

After Han Xiaobai and I arrived in Xijing, we changed into a set of relatively ordinary clothes, which looked a little dirty. Each person found a woven bag, walked around the street, and turned over the garbage cans when they saw them, specifically picking up plastic bottles.

In less than an hour, we picked up two large woven bags.

Among these plastic bottles, there are not many plastic bottles like Tianquan mineral water, only a few of them. Maybe it's spring, the weather in the north is cooler, and there are fewer people drinking cold water, but there are still some after all.

Started asking around where to collect scrap.

The effort paid off, and soon we found a scrap yard.

When he heard that we sell plastic bottles, the owner of this scrap yard was very enthusiastic and asked:

"Is there a small plastic bottle like Tianquan mineral water?"

I was shocked.

But also in my expectation.

It seemed that the scrapyard might know something, so I asked quietly:

"Yes. How do you collect plastic bottles? ”

"A small square bottle costs a dollar, and the others cost 5 yuan a catty."

The boss poured the plastic bottles on the ground, and specially picked out the small square bottles to be counted separately, and the others were weighed.

With just two bags of plastic bottles, we sold them for more than 100 yuan. Although the small square bottles are not numerous, they account for half of the amount.

The income from this waste picking is also quite considerable.

We chatted with the boss.

"You recycle this small square bottle for a dollar, how much do you sell?"

"A piece of five."

"Is it so expensive?"

"It used to be expensive, but it sold for two dollars. Now the competition is fierce, and the price has come down. ”

"This bottle is no different from other bottles, it's all the same plastic, who buys it? What are you going to do with this? ”

The boss was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his vigilance.

"Who knows! If someone buys it, we sell it, but we don't care what we do when they buy it. ”

"How do you sell these plastic bottles?"

"Someone comes to collect it, maybe three or five days, maybe ten days and a half a month, it's not sure. What is accurate is that this price has been changing, last time I received a piece of five, and the next time it may be a piece of two, and I will lose money if I don't get it right. ”

The owner started complaining and wasn't as welcoming as when we first arrived, leaving us to dry out and going to work alone.

From his mouth, I at least learned that someone had gone to the scrap yard to buy old bottles of Tianquan mineral water.

As for when it will come, there is no time. I must not sit back and wait, I must take the initiative. Since the owner of this scrap yard was unwilling to cooperate, Han Xiaobai and I went to find the next one.

An hour later, we found another scrap yard with two bags of used plastic bottles.

As soon as I heard that it was an old plastic bottle, the proprietress was also very enthusiastic, and asked if there was a small bottle of Tianquan mineral water.

She gave a piece of six and one pieces, and the other plastic bottles were sold for four yuan and five pounds.

This time, Han Xiaobai and I got a total of 130 yuan.

This proprietress doesn't seem to know much, and her mouth is not so strict.

We were told that it was not the same people who came every time they collected the old bottles, sometimes it was a young man, sometimes it was an old man. They all have one thing in common, they all wear large masks.

When it comes to buying plastic bottles, they don't even count, and the proprietress says how many they are, and they will give as much money as they want. I just wrote a number on the woven bag and threw it in the car and left. As for whether the number is correct or not, they have never looked for the old account of the proprietress of the house.

The vehicles that come to receive the goods are different every time, sometimes they are electric tricycles, sometimes they are pickup trucks, and sometimes they are large trucks, which look like they are piggybacking on their feet.

As for where they are, the proprietress can't tell clearly, and the accent is like a local, and as for where they are, she can't say at all.

Our investigation is at an impasse.

At the end of the day, Han Xiaobai and I visited 7 scrap yards, and basically these are the harvests. Unexpectedly, we sold more than 1,000 yuan of scrap.

Han Xiaobai teased:

"Picking up waste is higher than my salary."

I scolded him angrily.

"Then you can stay in Xijing to pick up waste, don't go back to the company."

"Don't, don't! I'm talking about having fun. I can't afford to give up my precious job. ”

"Come on! I just said that picking up waste is better than your job. It's not that you are reluctant to work with your baby, you are reluctant to marry your precious daughter-in-law! ”

"Hahahaha!"

"Brother is wrong, brother is wrong."

What's next?

Discussing with Han Xiaobai, he couldn't come up with a good idea.
