A doctor who travels through two eras

Chairman Zhu agreed and decided to investigate the matter first, so he quickly called his younger brother.

"Ah Fa, let me ask you, did you personally purchase this year's Mansong tea? Is it possible that someone else secretly took some of it away?"

Zhu Baofa on the other end of the phone cried out in injustice:
"Brother, are you kidding? Every year during the spring tea picking season, we send out more than 200 security guards to surround the tea mountain and set up checkpoints on the roads in and out of Mansong Village. How could the tea be stolen?

I personally checked every bag of Mansong tea, and all the inbound and outbound records are complete. Not to mention that it couldn't have been stolen, I didn't even give a pound to my father-in-law. Brother, why do you suddenly stop trusting me?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm hanging up."

President Zhu hung up the phone in frustration, and then he spoke:

"I don't have any problem here. No matter how brave my brother is, he can't secretly sell tea to others. He is my brother and I trust him."

All staff members in the association were mobilized.

Some were checking inventory, some were making phone calls, and those who didn’t know would have thought it was a field command center.

At this time, several presidents also took out their mobile phones and began to reconcile accounts with the largest Pu'er tea distributors in the country, not only the accounts of this year's new tea, but also the accounts of old tea from previous years.

High-end Pu'er tea is monopolized and has a low output, so it is very easy to verify.

Like Mansong Pu'er, the annual output does not exceed 40 tons, and the annual output of a few core old tea trees does not exceed 500 kilograms.

Such figures can be clearly seen by simply checking with warehouses and distributors, namely inventory + sales volume, and there is no way they can be falsified.

When all the information was finally gathered together, everyone had questions flashing in their minds:

"No, it's okay."

"Yes, the data I have matches the numbers at the beginning of the year exactly!"

"I am no different here. All Pu'er is firmly under our control!"

At this time, President Zhu slammed the table angrily:
"Then there is only one possibility now. The so-called top-grade Pu'er tea of ​​Lingnan Hall in Gouri is all fake and forged. They are going to destroy our Pu'er industry."

Vice President Wang was also very angry:
"This matter is not over yet. Originally, we kept to ourselves. He sold his ginseng and we sold our tea. But now Lingnan Hall has overstepped its boundaries."

Vice President Liu Xiaode was also furious. This move by Lingnan Hall was digging up their ancestral graves and they absolutely could not tolerate it:
"Everyone, we have to show our attitude. We must not let Lingnan Hall succeed. If we let Lingnan Hall confuse the water, it will be difficult to clear it up later."

President Zhu roared:
"Jingjing, come here and immediately issue a notice in the name of our Pu'er Tea Association:

For example, the production of Yunnan's top-grade Pu'er tea is very small, and currently all members of the association have exactly the same inventory. We have enough reason to suspect that Lingnan Hall is selling counterfeit Pu'er or passing inferior products off as good ones.

I hope that consumers can be more vigilant, keep their eyes open and avoid being deceived.

After you write the pass and let us review it, we will post it on our association’s official website and Weibo.

In addition, every Pu'er tea distributor is required to forward this notice. Anyone who does not forward it will not be able to get the goods next year."

When the female secretary heard this, she quickly took the order and left in a hurry.

Subsequently, a clarification notice from the Yunnan Pu'er Tea Association quickly spread on the Internet, forming a sharp contrast with the invitation letter from Lingnan Hall.

Officials say that all top-quality Pu'er tea is there and has not leaked out.

Lingnan Hall said that it has thousands of tons of top-grade Pu'er tea and welcomes orders.

The quantity of Pu'er tea doesn't match, which is dramatic.

Traditional media, online self-media and the general public across the country like to watch this kind of gossip news the most. For a time, not only the tea circle was discussing this matter, but even ordinary netizens began to discuss it enthusiastically.

Opinions on the Internet were also divided into two opposing camps.

One group believes that the Pu'er Tea Association, which has an official background and is an authoritative organization composed of major tea merchants, says that the Pu'er tea inventory is normal, so there can be no deviation.

The conclusion is that the Pu'er tea sold by Lingnan Hall is inferior and counterfeit. Another group believes that the ginseng, cordyceps, tangerine peel, fish maw, jade, etc. sold by Lingnan Hall are always top-quality products and have never been counterfeited or fake.

Moreover, Lingnan Hall has publicly invited tea merchants and professional research institutes from all over the country to taste the tea, and has even made a promise to compensate ten times for any fake products, so it is impossible for the tea to be fake.

As for where Lingnantang Pu'er tea comes from, this can also be explained. Now the mountains and forests are contracted to households, and tea farmers can sell to whoever they like. It is not necessary to sell to people from the Pu'er Tea Association.

(These people don’t understand that all tea mountains for top-grade Pu’er tea are actually contracted by big tea merchants and are not dispersed.)

In the office of the chairman of Lingnan Hall
Lin Chen's face was red as he looked at his cousin Lin Sanqi who was browsing his phone and said to himself:

"Boss, it's all my fault for not handling the matter properly. I just wanted to hold a tasting event and invite major tea merchants across the country to place orders. I didn't expect the Pu'er Tea Association to react so strongly."

Lin Sanqi was enjoying the discussion on Weibo and Douyin about real and fake Pu'er tea:
"Brother Chen, it's okay. We have touched someone else's cake. It would be abnormal if the other party didn't react at all.

Look at the wording of this statement, it directly says that we are selling fake goods. My goodness, this is really desperate, the desperate dog jumps over the wall. "

General Manager Lin Tianhua did not look panicked, and a response plan quickly came to his mind:
“Boss, and Achen, I think this is an opportunity.

Originally, we invited tea merchants from all over the country, mainly your classmates from the Agricultural University, to come to Huadu to participate in the ordering meeting. However, this matter was only spread in a small circle and was not well-known in the country, so not many people knew about it.

Now that the Pu'er Tea Association has released its statement, the whole country is paying attention to it. Isn't that a free opportunity for hype? This can save us a lot of advertising costs."

Lin Chen was a little confused:

"Uncle Shi, the Yunnan Pu'er Tea Association is blatantly accusing us of selling fake products. This is completely destroying our reputation and will affect the sales of our main business, ginseng. We cannot tolerate this."

Lin Tianhua nodded:

“We definitely can’t tolerate this, so we have to fight back and start hyping things up by filing a lawsuit.

First, we went to the public security agency to file a police report, arguing that the Yunnan Pu'er Tea Association was maliciously defaming us. In addition, we immediately asked Dezhi and Yiling (the old fifth couple) to file a lawsuit in court for defamation.

Now let's stir up this atmosphere and let everyone in the country know about it. The more heated the lawsuit is, the better. Anyway, our Pu'er tea is genuine, and real gold is not afraid of fire, so we are not afraid of them."

Lin Sanqi and Lin Chen knew it was just hype, so they started to make shocking statements.

That afternoon, Lingnan Hall also posted two photos on its official website and official WeChat account. One was a report receipt from the public security agency, and the other was a document indicating the court's prosecution.

As soon as everyone saw these two photos, they knew that Lingnan Hall was ready to fight hard.

At the same time, there is another text on Lingnan Hall’s official Weibo:
"The Pu'er tea plantations in Yunnan province cover an area of ​​500 million mu, with an annual output of more than 30 tons, which is a huge market.

But this market belongs to the whole people, and any qualified and legal enterprise can sell and grow Pu'er tea.

Is it so incredible that our Lingnantang Group has more than a thousand tons of Pu'er tea?

Besides, is Pu'er only new tea? The most valuable Pu'er tea is the aged tea. Has the Pu'er Tea Association ever made an accurate statistics?

As an industry association, the Yunnan Pu'er Tea Association should promote the development of Pu'er tea instead of monopolizing the discourse on Pu'er tea in the name of the association.

Is it true that only the Pu'er tea sold by your association is genuine? And the others are fake?

The Lingnan Tang Group expressed strong dissatisfaction and indignation with this hegemonic behavior, and formally filed a complaint against the Yunnan Pu'er Tea Association for defaming and slandering the reputation of Lingnan Tang.

We demand that the Yunnan Pu'er Tea Association publicly apologize to Lingnan Hall in major national media and compensate Lingnan Hall for its reputation loss of 100 billion yuan.

Therefore, Lingnan Hall will donate all the compensation to Yunnan Hope Primary School without leaving a single cent.”

Boom~~~
The news that Lingnan Hall demanded 100 billion yuan in compensation from the Yunnan Pu'er Tea Association instantly became a hot topic.

Major media outlets immediately flocked to Kunming and Huadu for interviews.

Many exaggerated media have published reports one after another. So far, the highest-priced defamation claim case in China has become the hottest news for a while. (End of this chapter)
