Chapter 28 Betting and Counterfeiting
"What decision?"
"Our group plans to spend one billion dollars to establish a [compensation foundation]." Guan Xueliang said slowly.
"A billion?!"
The ten small goals that are often difficult to reach in a lifetime were mentioned by Guan Xuelie in an understatement.
Even though Yang Xiaobing was a CCTV reporter, he felt a little suffocated when he suddenly heard this information.
I heard that the boss of [Chaoqun Group] is still unmarried?
"Yes, Xiaobing, [Chaoqun Group] plans to spend one billion to make a bet with all consumers!" Guan Xuelie said in shock.
"What bet?" Yang Xiaobing asked immediately.
Is this crowd gambling?
“As long as consumers find unlabeled [GMO foods] in any store under our group, as long as the evidence is conclusive, our company will use the amount in this fund to compensate and compensate consumers, with a minimum of one Starting at one million yuan.”
Guan Xuelie continued, "If the money in this [compensation fund] runs out, we, Director Wu, have said that as long as our group does not collapse and there is still money in the account, we will continue to inject capital into this fund and we will We pay for our mistakes.”
Really rich!
Yang Xiaobing smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Guan and Director Wu are quite confident in your group's quality control!"
Guan Xuelie showed a confident smile when he heard this, and said, "Xiaobing, let me tell you a fact."
"Although there are only two [GMO foods] officially recognized by our country that are allowed to be grown commercially on a large scale, papaya and cotton. Oh, there may be one more [Snow Banana] now, but [Snow Banana] can only be considered a small-scale trial. , it cannot be said to be large-scale commercial cultivation.”
"In the field of staple food, our government has never allowed the cultivation of [genetically modified crops] within the country, but [illegal genetically modified crops] have been repeatedly detected in our rice products exported to the EU."
"[Illegal genetic modification]?" Yang Xiaobing had a look of confusion on his face.
"Yes, Xiaobing. Since 2015, a total of 52 batches of my country's food exported to the EU have been detected with genetically modified ingredients, of which 27 batches involved rice products, accounting for 51.9%." Guan Xueliang told the reporter .
"Rice? Mr. Guan, what do you mean?" Yang Xiaobing's expression changed and he said.
"Although we don't want to admit it, we have no choice. Our country is too big. Although the country works hard to regulate, some fish still slip through the net. Some [genetically modified crops], such as [genetically modified rice], have been secretly mixed into farmers' land. . It is possible that some of the rice consumers buy in supermarkets may contain extremely small amounts of [GMO]."
"Although consumers in our country are very taboo about [genetically modified foods], in fact, a very small number of them may have eaten [genetically modified foods] without knowing it," Guan Xuelie said.
"Mr. Guan, this news is so surprising." Yang Xiaobing said.
“Yes, some time ago, the Russian Consumer Rights Protection and Public Welfare Supervision Bureau recently issued an announcement stating that unlabeled [GMO] ingredients were found in a batch of foods imported from my country. These foods involved corn noodles, corn noodles, and corn flakes. , egg chocolate cream dessert cookies, etc., are currently embargoed.”
“You see, [genetically modified foods] are really hard to guard against. The dangerous ones are not the foods labeled [genetically modified], because products with [labeled] often undergo careful experiments and are relatively safer. The dangerous ones are the ones that don’t. Labeled [GMO] food." Guan Xuelie spread his hands and said.
"Sometimes if you ask a brand manufacturer, he may not be sure whether his products contain [GMOs], because many manufacturers purchase raw materials, which is an uncontrollable factor."
"But [Chaoqun Group] will not! The sources of all fruits in [Shennong Orchard] are controllable and guaranteed. Our group's fruit planting base has a supporting R&D center, and all grown fruits will undergo strict sampling Detection will prevent unknown [GMOs] from being mixed in!”
"Xiao Bing, this is the confidence I want to tell you!"
"There will not be any unlabeled [genetically modified food] in any store under our group! If there is, we will compensate one case if found." Guan Xuelie repeated again, "We also welcome all consumers to come to us. Let’s monitor and see if we are bragging!”
"We also hope that with the help of Xiaobing and your media, we can convey our determination and let the society see our sincerity!" Guan Xuelie said to Yang Xiaobing.
"Of course." Yang Xiaobing nodded.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………
One day later, the interview was published after post-processing.
[Chaoqun Group] has come a long way over the years and still has considerable influence in traditional media channels. After all, it is an advertising sponsor.
This interview, with the deliberate promotion of [Chaoqun Group], has also gained considerable popularity.
Suddenly there are many "professional anti-counterfeiters" in the society, who happily go to various stores under the name of "Chaoqun Group", buy various products in small quantities, and then send them to professional institutions for testing.
After all, as long as one [GMO] is detected, the minimum compensation is one million.
This seems much more reliable than buying a lottery ticket.
[Chaoqun Group] is great, but it controls everything. Can it really take care of everything? Will there be no fish that slip through the net?
But the reality is – there really is no one that has slipped through the net.
These [social anti-counterfeiters] have spent a lot of money on testing, but they have not found any [GMO] in the products in stores under the name of [Chaoqun Group].
Although there are occasional people on the Internet who claim to have found [GMO] in the fruits of [Shennong Orchard], but after the final confrontation, it was discovered that they were all fake to attract traffic, and the lies were exposed as soon as they were rubbed.
no way.
The popularity of this [anti-counterfeiting] suddenly dropped.
Those [professional counterfeiters] don’t play anymore.
[Professional anti-counterfeiters] are a group of people who make a career out of cracking down on counterfeiting. They have long been looking for products with problems in terms of product quality, packaging labeling, expiration date, etc., and then make profits through claims.
Yes, anti-counterfeiting can also become a profession. Because it can make money, an anti-counterfeiting team has been formed, and some have even established an [anti-counterfeiting company].
The e-commerce industry and fast-moving consumer goods industry are areas where [professional anti-counterfeiting] is rampant.
The e-commerce industry is [anti-counterfeiting] because there are many unscrupulous merchants who make false propaganda, and [professional anti-counterfeiters] find loopholes, and then use legal weapons to threaten and obtain [legal] compensation from merchants.
The fast-moving consumer goods industry is "cracked down on counterfeiting" mainly because of the "shelf life".
Some convenience stores or supermarkets with poor business, some non-first-line brands of drinks or snacks, cannot be sold well and cannot be sold, so the shelf life is getting shorter and shorter.
Because there are hundreds or thousands of products in a convenience store or supermarket. Sometimes the boss does not remove expired products from the shelves in time, which gives [professional anti-counterfeiters] an opportunity to come to buy them, and then They taste it, then threaten the boss, and finally ask for compensation. If the supermarket boss doesn't give it, these [professional anti-counterfeiters] who are familiar with the legal provisions will just report it, and the industrial and commercial department will come to inspect.
In fact, many industrial and commercial departments are also aware of the tricks of these guys. After all, they have seen them a lot, but there is no way. They play within the rules and their responsibilities have to be fulfilled.
