In just a few days, the passenger flow of Baile Mall increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, but this was due to their cost-effective marketing methods.
Looking at the losses on the books, even Lu Liqiang couldn't sit still.
He has already decided that if Chu Tianyao can't come up with an explanation tomorrow, he will have no choice but to admit that this cooperation will be unlucky.
On the other side, in a beautiful small western-style building.
Chen Donglin lay on his back on the sofa and looked at his young wife washing fruits in the kitchen, feeling relieved a little from his boredom.
The woman in the kitchen was the one he found after his divorce three years ago. She was a few years older than his son. Although she spent money lavishly on weekdays, she was at least obedient and well-behaved.
"Husband, your precious son came to ask for money again today!"
The woman was wearing a silk nightgown, sitting next to Chen Donglin with a plate of fruit, and said with some dissatisfaction in her tone.
"Didn't you just give that brat two thousand yuan?"
Hearing this, Chen Donglin also frowned and said angrily.
Although his career has always been going smoothly, what worries Chen Donglin the most is his son Chen Xu.
After all the hard work, he managed to get him to go to Chengdu University. I thought this kid would be able to study well, but instead he became a second-generation grandfather, often asking for money from his family.
"It is said that a loving mother often loses her son. I would say that even if that woman did not teach her well, no matter how good our family is, we cannot withstand his torture."
The woman held the fruit in one hand and handed it to Chen Donglin's mouth, while complaining sweetly.
But at this moment, Chen Donglin seemed not to hear it. His eyes widened, but he looked straight at the TV in front of him.
What was broadcast on TV was today's Quality Journey program. By coincidence, the scene that appeared in it was actually Chen Donglin's Rongda Shopping Mall.
"After an unannounced visit by our reporter, we found that there were some counterfeit and shoddy products in Rongda Shopping Mall, as well as forgery of production dates. The two children's drinks sold there were also produced by black workshops and are three-no products. We hope that the relevant departments will punish them as soon as possible.
Ban illegal businesses..."
As the host finished speaking, another reporter appeared on TV making an unannounced visit to the manufacturer of children's drinks.
In the dim light, a dirty black workshop came into view. The so-called children's drinks were made with food additives and various pigments and flavors, and the hygienic conditions were not up to standard at all. But as long as they are packaged,
, the appearance looks no different from other drinks, and even the taste is not much different.
The secret visit video on TV almost made many viewers feel sick, especially the people in Chengdu at this moment. They all went to Rongda Shopping Mall to spend money. Now that such an incident happened, everyone was even more furious.
"This is impossible, how could this happen?"
In the living room, when Chen Donglin looked at the scene in front of him, his expression suddenly changed. He ignored the little wife beside him, picked up the phone on the table and quickly prepared a contact.
The scandal in his own shopping mall was reported to the whole country on TV. Chen Donglin could imagine the consequences even with his butt.
What he has to do now is to quickly contact people to engage in public relations.
Ding dong!
At this moment, there was a doorbell ringing outside the door.
"Who!"
Seeing that Chen Donglin was busy, the woman subconsciously got up and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, several men in uniforms were already standing outside.
"Chen Donglin, we are from the Municipal Industrial and Commercial Law Enforcement Brigade. Now you are suspected of selling counterfeit and shoddy goods. Please come with us and cooperate with the investigation."
In the living room, the phone in Chen Donglin's hand was not connected yet. When he looked at the law enforcement officers who appeared in his home, his heart went cold and he knew that everything was over.
…
Chen Donglin was taken away.
Although he is not the only shareholder of Rongda Mall, as a legal person and general manager, Chen Donglin was naturally the first to be noticed by relevant departments.
And it was just after the news that night.
Local people in Chengdu were so angry about what Rongda Shopping Mall did that they even went to the mall to denounce it.
I don’t know who popularized the newly introduced consumer protection law. When everyone knew that they could claim double compensation for buying fake goods, the number of people condemning it suddenly increased sharply.
Everyone came with the goods they bought from Rongda Mall and asked to return them.
Facing a group of hundreds of people condemning the incident, how could the mall's security guards and sales staff respond? They had no choice but to close the store and block everyone from the door.
However, public anger is so easy to contain. The people present did not hesitate to smash the door of the shopping mall, intending to rush into the mall and cause a riot. Fortunately, the police who responded to the call arrived quickly and quickly maintained order at the scene.
Even so, the bad news about Rongda Shopping Mall soon spread in Chengdu.
At the same time, Park Mall.
In the general manager's office, Lu Liqiang was worried about whether to sue Chu Tianyao with the cooperation agreement. After all, this guy made him invest so much money in vain, and now the operation of Baile Mall is losing money one after another.
"Dad, something happened at Rongda Mall!"
Ignoring knocking on the door, Lu Yuan pushed open the office door, rushed in and shouted.
"No matter how big or small, how did I teach you...wait, what did you just say? Something happened at Rongda Mall?"
Lu Liqiang was about to reprimand Lu Yuan, but he suddenly realized what he was saying.
"That's right, this matter has been on the news. Now many people are going to Rongda Shopping Mall to cause trouble. I just called and asked that Chen Donglin has been taken away by the law enforcement team." Lu Yuan said quickly.
Hearing his son's words, Lu Liqiang stood up excitedly, quite unbelievable.
He suddenly remembered what Chu Tianyao said that day, and suddenly understood the reason for this guy's confidence.
"Who is this guy who can bring down Rongda Mall so quickly?"
Lu Liqiang murmured to himself, his eyes becoming more solemn.
at the same time.
Although everyone in the office was gone, the lights were still on in Chu Tianyao's office.
"Mr. Chu, everything is done. As you said, we just let people take the lead. There are quite a few people who went to the scene to cause trouble."
Du Guoying looked at Chu Tianyao sitting behind the desk and couldn't help but admire him.
There was already a turmoil outside. As the initiator of the incident, Chu Tianyao could still stay in the office and read so leisurely.
"Pity!"
Behind the desk, Chu Tianyao put down the Consumer Protection Law in his hand. This was something that was only decided by the superiors last year. Naturally, it was not as complete as it would be thirty years later.
If people buy counterfeit and shoddy goods, the most they can do is double the compensation. If there is a ten-fold compensation law thirty years later, Rongda Shopping Mall will probably have to pay to death.
However, Chu Tianyao's move was indeed cruel enough, almost making it impossible for Rongda Shopping Mall to turn around.
In the office, looking at Chu Tianyao with a calm face, Du Guoying quietly made a decision in her heart.
No matter what happens in the future, you can't go against the person in front of you, otherwise you don't know how you will die in the future.
