Coquettish Rebirth

To help Lida and the others restore their reputation, or at least not to take the blame that should not be borne, Jia Hongjian knew that the first thing to do was to find a neutral organization to investigate the actual situation.Just asking Lida and the others to find someone to investigate, honestly, Jia Hongjian didn't believe too much. If Jia Hongjian wanted to devote himself to helping, he must know the toys other than the 90 pieces. It is indeed not Rieter's problem!In fact, such an organization can be established very quickly—there are various chambers of commerce in our country. For example, Jia Hongjian once contacted the shoemaking chamber of commerce in Wenzhou to invest in Italy?Now Jia Hongjian and Huaxia Hi-Tech have come forward to find the Toy Industry Association in Lingnan Province, and then they have come forward to temporarily borrow some senior practitioners such as engineers and designers from other manufacturers on a Sunday, and then formed an expert The group can analyze who is more responsible for the dispute between Lida and Mattel.

According to the analysis results of such an expert group, there are really several situations. One is that there are problems with coatings and paints. This is regarded as the fault of the Chinese manufacturer, but it only accounts for 3.7% of the overall recalled quantity!In the second case, the small toy that the United States sent out design drawings turned out to be a problem with the design of the United States, causing the magnet inside the small toy to be easily pulled out, and then it may be eaten by children. inside.There is also a third situation, that is, the recall made by the American orderer for the purpose of risk transfer-three months ago, that is, on January 3, 2008, the American Society for Materials Testing announced a A new standard in the use of toy materials.The toys produced by Rieter in China were basically produced before the standard came out. After giving the stuff to the United States, Mattel of the United States knew about the new standard, although the new standard is still some time away from full implementation. Time, but the problem is that 1 million toys can be sold out in a few months?Obviously impossible!

You must know that Mattel, which mainly sells Barbie dolls, sold more than 1000 million and 2000 million Barbie dolls around the world that year.And among these 800 million toys, most of them are not Barbie dolls!Most of them are various other products under Mattel!Why does Mattel place so many orders at once?Because the words are divided.The price is definitely not as high as a one-time large order!They placed such a large order, only to find out that new regulations came out.Although there must be a buffer period after the new regulations come out, so that the old standard products produced before the official implementation can be sold, but Mattel placed too many orders.Basically, it cannot be sold during the buffer period!

What if I can't sell it?The first method that any company thinks of is definitely to transfer the risk of loss to others.This has nothing to do with morality, any company is unlikely to take care of others or its own reputation at this time and how to bear the loss - after all, the company itself is to make money, and there are various shareholders, the company Not alone.It is an organization!It's like countries don't talk about friends, but also pay attention to interests!The United States was still fighting Vietnam to the death. After decades, in order to contain China, didn't the United States come together with Vietnam again?No one will say that the United States and Vietnam are shameless at this time.

Suppose a company imports a large amount of soybeans or sugar, and when the ship arrives, the price of the product is quite different from the original order price—the original order price is still relatively high. The price will drop sharply next month, so basically any company at this time will not be willing to accept this batch of soybeans or white sugar according to the contract, and basically have to find someone outside the order to unsubscribe!how to do?Aren't the soybeans and sugar waiting for acceptance at the port?Then procrastinate!Finding faults is like finding bones in an egg.Then take your time slowly!Things like white sugar and soybeans are not things that can be stored forever. After a few weeks, the quality will definitely decline. If it is delayed for a month or two, if the quality is not good enough, then there is no reason to return the goods openly. ?In this way, the importer, just like Mattel, finds various reasons to shift the responsibility to other suppliers, and does not want such a batch of goods.And the suppliers will definitely try their best to prove that the problem is not with them, just like Lida, and try their best to win back their own interests.

What about such a situation?If it is placed between two Chinese companies, it will not be a big deal-but if it is placed between Chinese and American companies, then some nationalist sentiments will easily be mixed in!why?Because the domestic media has exaggerated that China has too little interest in the industrial chain in the past few years, and the price of a Barbie doll is only US$1.As a result, Mattel sold them for $9.9 each!How much money has been earned by Mattel!Originally, such a thing was a dispute between two companies, but if Mattel’s idea of ​​avoiding its own losses is discovered by the media, then the media can easily think that this is a kind of American company bullying China. The company is like the United States bullying China!In this way, the humiliation of the embassy being bombed by the United States in the past few years suddenly came to my mind, and then it was easy to propagate along the line of nationalism!

Of course.If such a kind of public opinion really rises, it is actually not very useful.It is unlikely that Mattel will bow down because of the public opinion in China - their company's "top brand" Barbie dolls are not selling well in China, how much is a copycat doll worth $9.9?Not to mention that what they sell in China is expensive, a doll costs two to three hundred, even if it is only sixty or seventy according to the exchange rate, it can't sell the fake copy!The genuine version is sixty or seventy, and it is impossible to distribute the goods all over China, and the pirated version can be bought on the whole network and all channels.And what technological content does Barbie doll have?Isn't it just a plastic doll?Originally, Mattel didn't have much interest in China. How could people bow their heads and admit their mistakes because of the views of the Chinese media?

So this matter still has to follow the usual dispute resolution model, or take people to the United States to file a lawsuit and make a fuss, which is how any company resolves disputes.When buying soybeans, the buyer sees the price drop and is unwilling to pay more according to the contract, so he finds various reasons to return the goods, and the seller also has to file a lawsuit to resolve the dispute.So soon Jia Hongjian and his team took Lida's people to the United States. The first thing they did when they went to the United States was not to complain to the media, but to find a lawyer first!In the United States, lawyers are very capable!The entire United States can be said to be a country built on the profession of lawyers!How many U.S. presidents were born as lawyers, let alone Clinton, who is near, is a lawyer, and even President Obama, who will take office in the future, is also a lawyer!

American lawyers belong to the Anglo-American legal system, and the power of lawyers in the Anglo-American legal system is far greater than that of civil law lawyers.The simplest example, in the time and space of history, there was a case in the United States where a kid from a rich family killed N people by driving while drunk. This case in China was reported by the media and made a big fuss. It must be how to judge Well, at least the procedures are going to go through, and it will be a few years. As for how the family will do their work and how to make people come out earlier after entering, that is another matter.But in the United States, it is different. The United States is the world of the rich. The powerful lawyer helped the family to file a lawsuit. The result is that the rich man has already lost his wealth because of his superior environment since he was a child. The ability to judge right from wrong—that is to say, everything is the fault of the environment, it is the environment that made him look crooked, not his own fault!

This is completely sophistry!In China, as long as he has civil and criminal capacity, even if he has psychological problems and cannot distinguish right from wrong, he should still go to jail, but American lawyers can say that they only regard such a rich man as "mentally ill" "Patients", and it is not the kind that is locked up in a mental hospital. It is just that such a rich man needs to be sent to a medical institution to "treat" his "rich disease".Then, this person was supposed to be sentenced to 20 years in prison, but suddenly he didn't have to sit, got 10 years of probation, and then just went to a "private" medical institution for "correction"!This is what American lawyers can do!And the judge really dared to judge!At the same time, even if the American media are all "surprised by allies", the judges and lawyers in the United States are still like nothing!

Therefore, if you want to win the lawsuit in the United States, you must find a good lawyer team!And to find a good lawyer team, it must be sneaky!Why?Because American law firms have a rule - a law firm cannot serve both the plaintiff and the defendant in a case at the same time!So if Jia Hongjian brings Lida and the others to the United States, and immediately holds a press conference to find the media, then Mattel will sign agency contracts with the top [-] law firms in the United States without saying a word. , then what will happen?As a result, it is impossible for the top [-] law firms in the United States to accept Rieter's agency business!The result is that Mattel can gather the most powerful lawyers in the United States to go to court, and then Lida can only find all kinds of lawyers who are not well-known and incompetent to help with the lawsuit. How the hell can they still win?

Lida and the others are willing to pay, but they don't have much money.Originally, it was just an OEM to make toys. If the boss can spend 1000 million US dollars to find a lawyer, it is already considered a waste of money.For such a sum of money, it is still possible to find a law firm, and it is still possible to find a barrister and his assistant to help with the lawsuit, but it is really impossible to form a team of all-star lawyers.As for Mattel, which has an annual turnover of 80 billion US dollars, it is really possible to spend money to get an all-star lawyer lineup...
