After Guo Changda received the call from Huang Shaolong, his face was a little gloomy. Then, his triangular eyes flashed with a sinister light, and a disdainful sneer appeared on his face: "Liu Haotian, you still want to continue to treat our Donglin Group poor.
If you chase and fight fiercely, then don’t blame me, Guo Dada, for being rude."
Afterwards, Guo DaDa made several calls one after another, then calmly sat on a chair and smoked a cigar.
This time, he must take this opportunity to give Liu Haotian a severe blow.
Half an hour later, at the entrance of Sanjiang Warehouse, all the deputy mayors of Xilin City and Niu Liming, director of the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, all arrived.
Liu Haotian looked at the crowd with a solemn expression. He stood at the door with a finger and held up a banner to shout loudly at the dealers who were defending their rights. He said in a low tone: "Comrades, take a look. These community group buying companies have turned the dealers into
How far have businessmen pushed themselves?
These people are only a small number. After all, as dealers, they have a large supply of goods in their hands, and their number is relatively small. If you go to Tuantuan Community Group Buying's headquarters in Xilin City to take a look at this moment,
You will find hundreds of small traders and hawkers gathered there, holding banners and shouting for food.
This is also the reason why I chose the location of the on-site office meeting here.
Comrades, have you ever thought about why the dealers of these community group buying platforms stand up against these community group buying platforms?
Have you ever thought about why these small traders and hawkers surrounded the headquarters of the community group buying platform?"
After Liu Haotian finished speaking, the general manager of Tuantuan Community Group Buying Xilin City slowly raised his head and suddenly said: "Mayor Liu, I am Wu Liangde, the general manager of Tuantuan Community Group Buying. Can I say a few words?"
Liu Haotian nodded: "Mr. Wu, I didn't expect you to be here. If you have anything to say, just say it. Our on-site office meeting today is completely open, fair and just. We welcome anyone with opinions to participate."
Wu Liangde nodded: "Mayor Liu, let me first make it clear that these dealers' behavior of besieging our Sanjiang warehouse is illegal.
Secondly, the reason why they are dissatisfied with us is because they are dissatisfied with the sales method we adopt.
I think that now is the era of market economy. How we sell and promote is our business and has nothing to do with dealers like them.
We have not given them any less of the profits they deserve.
Shouldn’t the country’s laws maintain fairness and justice in the market?”
At this time, a dealer said angrily: "Wu Liangde, you have no conscience and morality. You are not qualified to stand here and talk about market fairness and justice.
Your Tuantuan community group buying platform relies on the large number of customer resources that we dealers have accumulated for you in the early days, and relies on the monopoly position you have achieved. On the one hand, it desperately lowers the supply prices that we dealers give you, and on the other hand, it
On the other hand, you adopt the strategy of low-price dumping and continue to compete for traffic resources for your platform’s monopoly market. This approach of yours is truly illegal!
Your sales price has already broken through our purchase price, leaving us as dealers with no way to sell.
In this case, you asked the salesperson to negotiate with us and asked us to continue to lower the supply price.
Your behavior is simply killing the goose that lays the egg, and there is no morality at all."
Wu Liangde smiled slightly: "In Shangyanshang, although our prices are lower than yours, we use our own money to make up for this shortfall, and we provide consumers with real benefits.
As for consumers, are we wrong?"
Liu Haotian suddenly said: "Wu Liangde, Mr. Wu, do you think you are not wrong?
I know that attracting users at low prices has long been the main means of obtaining traffic on the Internet, and this has been tried and tested in the community group buying battlefield. However, have you, the community group buying platform, ever thought about how your user traffic continues to increase?
What kind of crisis is hidden under the expanded facts?
This crisis does not belong to your community group buying platform, but to these dealers, but to the common people!"
At this time, a 40-year-old seafood dealer said with tears on his face: "Mayor Liu, you are so right. Do you know that as the boss of a seafood company, I have to do group purchases for major communities every day?"
The platform ships out 100,000 pieces of white shrimp, but do you know how meager our profits are? Now I can hardly even afford the wages of the porters!
I ship more than 1 million yuan worth of seafood every day, but my gross profit is only a few thousand yuan!
What’s even more cruel is that once there is a problem with defective goods, especially returns, these group buying platforms will not only not bear any losses, but will also fine us suppliers.
Mayor Liu, do you know what the after-sales processing standards of these community group buying platforms are like?”
Liu Haotian shook his head: "I would like to hear the details."
The property owner said with a tearful voice: "Mayor Liu, their platform stipulates that every time an ordinary after-sales incident occurs, they will deduct 5% of the transaction volume of the corresponding product during the after-sales period and not less than 1,000 yuan.
standard deduction for liquidated damages.
If a serious after-sales incident occurs, they will deduct 20% of the merchandise transaction amount and no less than 5,000 yuan as liquidated damages!
Mayor Liu, do you know what this means?
This means that as long as two people return 100 pieces of goods, their platform has the power to kick us out. This means that after we have worked so hard to sell goods for so much money, all the profits belong to them.
of fines.
There are even times when their fines mean that we not only make no money but lose money!
Mayor Liu, there is no room for us dealers to survive!"
At this moment, a gray-haired old man in his 60s who was passing by heard the dealer's cry and rushed in. He knelt down in front of Liu Haotian with a plop and said, "Mayor Liu, are you really Mayor Liu?"
!
Mayor Liu, please let us ordinary people make the decision. I am a vegetable seller. I used to go to the wholesale market every morning to buy goods. I could sell them for two days at a time and earn two to three hundred yuan.
This money is the pension money for my wife and me! Although it is very hard, at least we can survive by relying on our own abilities.
But now, community group buying platforms have emerged. Many times, the prices of the vegetables they sell are lower than our purchase prices. Those old customers who used to come to me to buy goods have stopped coming recently, because they have now changed to
I buy groceries online on community group buying platforms, and they say the prices there are cheaper!
Mayor Liu, 50% of the people in our market can no longer hold on. The only way we can survive now is to pick up rags. Even so, there are at least a dozen people in the community who pick up rags! Every day we all
You have to fight to pick up rags and have to queue up!
Mayor Liu, my wife and I don’t have pensions. We used to be ordinary farmers. Although we have houses through urban reconstruction, now we only have a pension of a few hundred yuan a month, which is not enough for us to take medicine.
Yes, we have to do some small business to make a living.
But now, we can no longer do small business such as selling vegetables!
We are starving! This is not a joke, this is real!
Mayor Liu, I have long heard everyone say that you are a good mayor who is dedicated to the people. Can you sit still for us ordinary people? We really can’t survive! These community group buying platforms compete at low prices.
The strategy is really cruel!"
As he spoke, the old man burst into tears and was extremely sad.
Liu Haotian immediately helped the old man up, and the old man stood in front of everyone, crying, scolding, and venting with tears streaming down his face.
Liu Haotian felt heavy in his heart when he looked at the scene in front of him.
His eyes swept across the faces of every deputy mayor present one by one, and he said in a low voice: "Comrades, did you listen to what the old gentleman said just now?
Have you seen it? This is the consequence of community group buying.
I admit that these Internet platforms have indeed achieved the effect of promoting social development in some aspects, but the manipulator behind the Internet platforms is capital, and capital is bloodthirsty and greedy. Marx has already mentioned these things in Capital
There is a detailed discussion.
If you don’t understand the nature of capital, I suggest you read Marx’s Capital.
From the moment they are born, every pore of capital is filled with greed, exploitation and oppression.
Although the existence of these Internet platforms has their positive side, due to our lack of supervision and lack of coordination with the times, current Internet platforms, especially ones like Tuantuan, have gained monopoly in many application scenarios.
Internet companies with high status rely on the power of capital to expand crazily. Their expansion model is very simple:
The first step is to sell at a low price to obtain a large number of traffic users and data resources in this application scenario.
The second step is to suppress competitors through continuous investment of capital, acquisitions and mergers, and achieve a monopoly position in this application scenario.
The third step is to rely on its monopoly position to quietly and continuously raise prices and start the action of harvesting leeks. At this moment, whether it is the customers of these Internet application platforms or the dealers, especially those in this
For ordinary people working in application scenarios, the Internet platform has achieved dimensionality reduction and attack on the people of all dimensions, and ultimately relies on its monopoly position to harvest the wealth of the people wantonly.
This is the original sin of capital!
If we don’t put these Internet capital, including these Internet capital enterprises, into the cage of key systems and supervision, what will the future be like? Do you know?”
Speaking of this, Liu Haotian's voice rose a few degrees: "You don't know! You only have your own political achievements in your eyes, you only look at taxes, and you can't see the changes in the people's living environment at all!
Let me tell you, in today's society, the gap between rich and poor is not shrinking, but is constantly expanding. Wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a small group of people who have mastered the ability to apply monopoly capital! And as a result, the gap between rich and poor continues to grow.
expand!
As this problem continues to expand, do you know what its ultimate consequences will be?"
When Liu Haotian said this, his voice became deeper and deeper, and his tone was as heavy as the Yue family.
