"What are you doing? This is a shopping mall for foreign investors. You Lanfang people are acting so recklessly. Don't you want foreign investors to invest?"
As Gao Jianxiong's security personnel, covering the inspectors from the market supervision department, rushed directly to the zero-fee group shopping spot upstairs, the scene instantly exploded.
Several store managers tried to stop it in a pretentious manner and even used verbal threats, but it was all in vain.
"Someone reported that you were selling fake and shoddy products, and you still accepted it? They all stood against the wall! What about you, who are you, put your things down! Still want to hide stolen goods?"
After a lesson, the scene was quickly brought under control, and the tourists did not panic, but just made noises. After all, most of them were forced to stay here to spend all their shopping time, so they were naturally happy to see the store suffer.
Only a few female customers who had been shopping smoothly and happily just now were a little worried and started acting up - they had all bought it as genuine goods before and were used to the business of buying and selling goods on behalf of others. Now I heard from the inspectors that there is
It may be mixed with fakes, and of course they will call Qu Wei for fear of suffering a loss.
Fortunately, the inspectors had no time to care about them and just quickly collected evidence: "Quiet, quiet! Customers who have bought things should line up outside! If there is a problem, follow the procedures and respond slowly. We will listen to them one by one! Don't do it now
chaos!"
"Hmph, let's wait until we find enough evidence and see what else you have to say."
After ten minutes of fighting, a pile of suitcases, watches, suits and jewelry were found and piled at the entrance of the store. The amount accounted for about ten percent of the relevant brand inventory in the store - obviously,
People who sell fake goods are also more cautious. They will not pile up all the fake goods outside at once. Instead, they will sell a batch and take out a batch to ensure that at any time in the counter, most of them are genuine.
But in fact, because the styles of fake products are slightly cheaper, they also take advantage of the fact that most consumers who bring goods only know the brand but not the style, inducing them to buy the fake ones. The expensive and new genuine products are relatively unreliable.
For the main purpose, if you really don’t need money and are not greedy for small things, you will buy the real thing, but the proportion may not be as high as 80%.
For example, the ratio of genuine and fake products on the counter may be 85% to 15%, but the actual sales volume may be as high as 73%.
Along with the inspectors, there were also technical appraisers from brands such as Gucci, Armani and Cartier. They worked on-site, videotaped the entire process, and explained to tourists in public, proving that the items picked out were indeed fakes.
As for other brands, such as Donkey Brand, Versace, and Givenchy, it seems that the proportion of fakes is slightly lower, but this is no longer important, and there is no need to explain to tourists. Gao Jianxiong knew the inside story, and he made a rough guess.
It is expected that it may be because "the channels of brands such as Gucci are completely controlled by Gu Kun, so the black tourist group shopping spots are more likely to sell more fake goods when the supply of goods is insufficient."
Besides, if they were selling genuine goods, although the black tourist group shopping spots and even the influence network behind them could make money, Gu Kun would still make more of the big profits.
Gu Kun holds an absolute majority shareholding in Gucci and Armani, and holds more than half of the shares in Cartier. If these luxury brands make money, doesn't it mean that at least half of the profits belong to Gu Kun.
These guys who run illegal tour groups are essentially in the same camp as Gu Kun. If they can make Gu Kun less money, they can try to make less money for Gu Kun.
"Humph, the evidence is conclusive, what else can be said? All certificates related to fake goods will be adjourned and confiscated and sealed! The store is temporarily sealed!"
After hearing this verdict, the crowd became noisy again. Some people wanted to run away, and some wanted to destroy as much evidence as possible. The scene was chaotic for a while, but everyone was controlled by the people brought by Gao Jianxiong.
Amidst the noise, several panic-looking tourists also caught Gao Jianxiong's attention - in fact, Gao Jianxiong had known him before arriving, and recognized the tourist from the crowd as Charles Young, a reporter employed by Diba people, but
He must pretend not to know him, pretend to be suspicious temporarily.
"Sir, why are you panicking? I suspect that you have hidden fake goods. Please cooperate with us to check."
"I'm an ordinary tourist! You can't infringe on my personal rights! It's none of my business! I'm also a victim." Charles Young suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He came here today to shoot black material, and he didn't intend to reveal it immediately. The above
The instructions given to him were also to "try to conduct secret visits as much as possible first, and keep them as spare tires, whether you need them or not".
Obviously, both the Black Travel Network and the Diba people are inclined to "if there are enough black materials exposed by those small follow-up companies that have nothing to do with Diba", then don't use their own people.
But now if the videotape is confiscated by Gao Jianxiong, they will no longer be able to control whether it is used, how it is used, and whose material is used first.
Gao Jianxiong: "This is not a matter of ordinary tourists. You were not deceived and bought fake goods, but you still want to take them out of the country as genuine goods and resell them? We in Lanzhou extremely respect the intellectual property rights of our friends from all over the world."
It is also a country that actively responds to the Paris Convention for the Protection of Intellectual Property.
Therefore, according to our Lanzhou law, knowing that you have bought fake luxury goods and not actively reporting them but continuing to use or even resell them is also suspected of being illegal. Based on this article, I now require your bag to be inspected."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Charles Yang had no choice but to protect him with all his strength, fighting at the top of his lungs: "I am a foreign reporter! I have a press card!"
Gao Jianxiong pretended to be surprised: "You are a foreign reporter? Then you have secret camera equipment in your bag?"
Charles Young: "You can't search my things! I have the right to expose everything I interviewed. You are trampling on the news!"
Gao Jianxiong spread his hands, assuming a harmless posture, but in fact he had no intention of letting the opponent go, and instead asked his subordinates to further surround him:
"Let me take a look at your ID. If it is true, of course we will not take away your results. However, we have the right to make a copy of the record on site - I hope you will report the information truthfully and do not take it out of context or distort or delete it.
To reduce ambiguity. If you do not report truthfully, we will also use this full version to supplement the explanation."
Charles Yang was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat, but the other party's request was so legitimate that he could not resist at all.
Gao Jianxiong didn't want to take away your digital camera or even your memory card. He just wanted to copy a file. This is what the on-site inspection agency has the right to do when enforcing the law. It is only natural.
And as long as this is done, it will be very difficult for Charles Young to cut the whole story out of context.
"It's over, it's all over." Several bosses in charge of this black store nearby suddenly collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
…
It has to be said that Gu Kun chose the right time for Gao Jianxiong to take action.
Less than half a day after the law enforcement operation ended, it was about the afternoon of the same day. Due to the time difference, it was also the morning news period of 90 a.m. in countries in the Middle East and 6 or 7 a.m. in European countries.
Some negative news about Gu Kun and the Lanfang tourism market were the first to be revealed.
The media that broke the news immediately were some French news organizations, but there was no doubt that they were French news organizations that had been bribed by Iprasin's people.
Of course, those news were obviously not timely enough. They did not know what special rectification actions had taken place in Lanfang this morning. They were only breaking the news according to Ipraxin's previously established release schedule.
"Let's take a look at an international news about the cultural tourism industry - the new form of Internet tourism, free tour group fees, and forced shopping to recoup costs.
Recently, in the tourism markets of China and Lanzhou, a new business model that organically combines the Internet industry with traditional tourism and shopping has emerged. Tourists do not need to pay for group tours, and they all rely on shopping during the trip to recoup their costs..."
The female anchor of the French TV station in the morning news time gave a eloquent introduction on the TV screen, and then cut the screen to some clips of front-line interviews.
On TV, you can see a white reporter interviewing some Chinese tourists who came to Lanzhou on a free tour, and then asked them how their travel experience was, what they bought, and whether they thought it was a good deal.
The tourists interviewed basically answered that they bought Donkey Brand, Givenchy, and Chanel. In fact, Gucci, Armani, and Cartier, which were the most purchased brands, almost did not appear on the scene.
Obviously, the director of the French TV station also made some tricks here. When editing, he tried his best to cater to the taste of the French without damaging the original intention of the work, so as to increase the ratings.
After all, the French have a strong sense of cultural pride. Only when they hear that foreigners are crazy about buying French luxury goods can they be proud. If the foreigners in the picture traveled all the way out to buy Italian goods, then the French audience would still be watching this
Shit news.
It's like a food show broadcast in China. You have to have foreigners show up and talk about how delicious Chinese food is, so that it can get ratings. If a white man brags about how delicious Japanese sushi sashimi is on a Chinese TV station, then
The ratings must have been off the charts.
Therefore, after these clips of the French taking private goods were shown, there were some complaints from French commentators: "From this we can see that China's current tariff policy has a negative impact on the purchasing desire of its own citizens.
There is so much suppression. So much so that today’s Chinese people are flocking abroad to buy high-quality goods represented by French luxury goods, which represent advanced civilization and high-end life enjoyment. Such a demand has given rise to a new
As for the business model, it seems that Lanfang’s tourism industry will continue to develop along this path in the future..."
The French commentators were not focused on the Black Orchid side, but more on bragging about the French themselves.
The French at the beginning of the 21st century did still look down upon China. After all, China's GDP was still slightly lower than France at that time, and it would take another one or two years for the total GDP to surpass France. Therefore, during this period, the French always have a negative attitude toward China.
At the worst time, there were always all kinds of criticisms about tariffs and brand intellectual property protection, and Ipraxin took advantage of them right away.
And it was modified by the French. Although it did not directly mention that "Land's tourism market is in chaos and attracts tourists for free", in fact, the communication effect of these points is not bad at all, but it is more realistic.
Feeling it.
If Gu Kun hadn't been prepared in advance and immediately followed up on the reversal, this matter might have actually been covered up by Ipraxin.
Unfortunately, history cannot be assumed. Not long after the news authorized by Ipraxin was broadcast, Gu Kun followed suit.
