Our Rise Era

Chapter 171 Changes in the situation
"return the goods?"

"Okay, as long as the packaging is not opened, we can return the goods. However, are you sure you want to return the goods even if you pay the shipping fee?"

"it is good……"

……

"Hello?"

"You want to return the goods too?"

"Okay, since it hasn't been shipped yet, we'll give you a full refund!"

"Okay!"

……

"Hello, it's been half a month since you bought your electric car. How can you ask us to give you a discount now? Your previous price was very favorable!"

"This……"

"We are 600 cheaper than those first-tier brands. You can't do that, can you?"

"You must retreat?"

"Okay, I'll give you a refund, but you've been using it for half a month, so we can't give you a refund at the original price!"

"Okay, you admit it? Hey, why do you say you admit it? Is it a problem with our quality or the quality? Explain it clearly!"

……

【Feige electric vehicle】

Li Ying, who was in [Qilu Province], had just…

I enjoyed the feeling of falling from heaven to hell.

In March, or even before April 10th...

[Feige Electric Vehicles] sold a total of 1500 units, far exceeding the total of the previous year.

At this moment, about 500 vehicles have been shipped, and there are still about 1000 pre-orders on the market. On the Internet and with offline dealers, the market is still in a state of supply exceeding demand.

Everything is in a thriving state!
With such high sales volume, Li Ying is full of expectations for the future.

From the end of March to April 10, she stayed in [Qilu] and discussed the issue of factory construction with relevant leaders.

And April 10th!
The site has been selected, the equipment orders have been purchased, the loan has been approved, even more than half of the money has been paid, and a lot of people have been hired!

however……

Just when the work was about to start...

Suddenly I received news about the return of my electric vehicle order!

At first, the number of returned orders was not large, and they were all orders that had not yet been produced or scheduled. If they were returned, they were refunded!
but……

later……

Many owners of electric bikes that have been sold, some even half a month ago, have begun to call their own manufacturers one after another and ask for a refund!
In fact, many people have very bad attitudes. When they call, they first scold us and say that there are various quality issues...

When Li Ying asked them to send the electric bike for inspection, they said they would provide free repair or even a full refund if there was indeed a quality problem with the electric bike. However, the other party's attitude suddenly changed, and they started to act like a fool, saying that a [domestic brand] electric bike should be sold for 1600 yuan, which was simply a pig slaughter...

After the other party had been nagging for a long time, they no longer talked about returning the goods, but only about returning the money, and they insisted that they made at least one thousand yuan from each Fei Ge electric vehicle!

Li Ying once thought that the other party was crazy!

I wish I could throw my production bills, production scheduling bills and purchase bills in their faces, or even slap them hard in the face!

In the end, Li Ying did not do so.

After all, they are in the service industry. Who knows whether the people who make calls record their calls? Besides, they represent the [Home Appliances Going to the Countryside] brand, so what if they act on impulse?

That will not only affect the brand itself, but also the overall situation.

She finally got her patience and started to calculate the costs with the other party, starting from the tires to the headlights.

"For each of our electric cars, the manufacturer only makes 300 yuan!"

"..."

She thought the other party could understand her explanation this time, but he became more and more unreasonable.

Finally, he even said: "Okay, you make 300 yuan, I'm not asking you to make no money, so if you return 200 yuan to me, I'll let it go!"

He looks like a complete rogue.

In order to prevent these people from affecting his emotions, Li Ying also felt that there were only a few people who were making trouble like this...

As a result, Li Ying made the most wrong decision in her life. In the end, she compromised and returned 200 yuan to the other party, intending to keep the matter quiet.

however……

Some holes should not be opened!

After the money was refunded, not long after...

More and more unreasonable customers started calling the factory...

All of them are shouting for their money back!
Li Ying was stunned.

Then, in a hurry, I saw a video from the Internet from [Aiku Video]...

After clicking on the video!

Li Ying's face turned pale and she was so angry that her lungs were about to explode!

In the video, the other party put the recording of himself returning the money in the video without the beginning or the end...

And, it also comes with a very bright red title!

[Earning 600 yuan from an electric car, the cost is only 200 yuan! [Feige Electric Car] The boss lady felt guilty after being found out about the bottom price, and tried to keep quiet by spending yuan! ]

……

This video was not the most shocking thing for Li Ying!

What made her grit her teeth even more was another headline, which was called [Home appliances going to the countryside, the biggest scam of the [Domestic Electric Vehicle Alliance]! ]

In this title...

He looked like a video blogger who directly turned black into white. It was unknown through what channels he took apart his own [Feige Electric Vehicle]!
then……

A series of second-hand and inferior parts were dismantled, some of which were even rusted!
After doing all this, the other party even publicly stated in a video that [Feige Electric Vehicle] was a scam!

The reason why domestic electric vehicles cannot develop is because of [cutting corners] and [selling inferior products as good ones]...

After watching...

She was so angry that she was shaking all over!
I kept my sanity and called the factory. After confirming that there was absolutely no such thing in my factory...

She realized!

Someone is messing with them!

So, she consulted a lawyer immediately and started collecting evidence.

however……

Aiku Video, however, was extremely uncooperative and initially refused to provide any information about its users, claiming that it was private.

After laying out the legal provisions, Aiku Video then revealed the other party's identity registration information.

however……

In 09, there was not much real-name registration on the Internet.

After digging for a long time, they found out that the other person was from Congo, Africa, and was 150 years old...

This is completely invalid information!
Li Ying had no choice but to hold a press conference and post all the production data on the online public platform. Only then did the turmoil barely stop.

however……

There is nothing wrong with my [Feige Electric Vehicle] side.

Some of its domestic electric car brands have indeed been found to have problems...

And the problem is not small!
................................................

"What is this [Baima Electric Vehicle] manufacturer? An employee reported their own brand for suspected fraud, passing inferior goods off as good ones, and using bad nuts as good nuts?"

"Wait! [New Rili] electric vehicles were also found to be suspected of counterfeiting? Wait!"

"The manager of [Meng Meng Electric Vehicle] exposed overnight that [Meng Meng Electric Vehicle] is a fake?" "..."

"..."

April th.

Fatty Yuan received call after call.

Bad news comes one after another!
He suddenly realized that in the darkness, a pair of invisible hands were fiercely attacking the ten electric vehicle brands they had acquired.

Fatty Yuan called these partner brands one after another.

The bosses of the cooperating brands were hesitant, saying that they did purchase a batch of low-priced spare parts, and that the channels for the spare parts were all from the second-hand market...

But they never thought that the impact would be so great, and they never expected that it would be discovered so quickly!

"Where are those manufacturers? Where have they gone? Those second-hand spare parts manufacturers!"

"They've all run away since April! We can't find them!"

"Have you never tested your electric bikes? I've told you that quality is the first priority. How could you do this?"

"We...testing requires money. We, we never thought it would be like this. Besides, those spare parts can actually be used..."

"You're crazy! There are reports online that some parts are rusted, and you can still use them!"

"I asked the purchasing department to do the test, but I didn't expect that the purchasing department that has been with me for so many years would suddenly betray me! Damn it! I was also cheated!"

"..."

At this moment, Fatty Yuan realized something!

That is……

Brother Zhang and the [Electric Vehicle Alliance] he just established are about to be ruined!
Completely finished!
Then, after he calmed down, he began to seriously review the whole thing through the information provided by the manufacturers...

Suddenly realized!
As early as mid-March, some people began to do these things by taking advantage of the "greed" of these manufacturers.

Moreover, many of these manufacturers who suddenly came out to report on their own factory managers were probably bribed in advance.

Everything!
It's all the same game.

And these bosses!
crazy!

Damn, it's all crazy!
Didn’t these manufacturers previously sign a letter of commitment that if there are any quality issues, they will compensate in full?

How dare they!

What to do, what to do next?
calm down!
He forced himself to calm down, and then carefully looked at the brands that had gone bankrupt...

then……

In an instant, he collapsed in his chair like a deflated ball, feeling regretful, guilty, and even self-blaming!

These brands were all those he acquired, and he "self-righteously" conducted market research and thought that these were all high-quality domestic electric vehicles...

On the contrary, there were no problems with the two brands that Brother Zhang took the lead in personally purchasing, [Feige Electric Vehicle] and [Lanma Electric Vehicle]. The most that was found was the price problem...

I can't!
Not appropriate?

Can't I?

Yes, I can't do it. I can't do anything. I'll just hold you back...

I, I, I...

……

Fatty Yuan's mentality collapsed instantly.

After a long pause...

He started calling Zhang Yang constantly.

however……

Zhang Yang’s phone has not been reached yet.

It was as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth in an instant.

He was in a panic.

Wait till night...

He received a call from the business department.

In the past two days, the supervisory department has sent people to investigate electric vehicle brands...

Then, during the random survey, we found that these brands did indeed have the suspicion of selling inferior parts as good ones, and even many electric vehicles did not meet the quality standards!
Immediately afterwards...

The supervisory department notified the commerce department immediately.

"Mr. Yuan, this matter is very bad and has affected our intention to [send home appliances to the countryside]!"

"So, except for [Feige] and [Lanma], we will temporarily stop these brands from participating in the [Home Appliances Going to the Countryside] campaign!"

"..."

....................................

10 o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Yang's call finally got through.

"Brother Zhang, where are you? It's over, it's over, it's completely over!"

"An electric car crashed?"

"Brother Zhang, do you know? Brother Zhang, what should we do? What should we do? When will you come back? I'm sorry, I'm sorry...Brother Zhang, I didn't do anything well. I'm sorry, Brother Zhang..."

"I'm in Africa and can't come back for a while..."

"Huh? Then..."

"It's just a thunderstorm, it's just a small matter... calm down."

"What should we do? Public opinion is so strong that we can't suppress it, and we can't hide it anymore!"

"It's up to you...Okay, I'm about to hold a press conference, so I won't talk to you anymore..."

"Brother Zhang!"

"Fatty, this is a chance!"

On the phone.

Zhang Yang suddenly said this with great earnestness.

"what chance?"

“It’s an opportunity for consumers to get to know what kind of brand we are…”

"Brother Zhang, I don't understand..."

"Fatty, remember, no matter how bad the situation is, don't be anxious, and don't try to cover up the truth. Covering up will only make things worse... At the same time, don't suppress public opinion. Some people want to kill us, and we can't suppress public opinion. Instead of getting caught up in the storm of public opinion, it's better to raise public opinion higher... Don't escape, escaping will only make everything collapse. Consumers are different from those who want us to die. What consumers want to see is an attitude, and we have to give them an attitude..."

“How do we give attitude?”

"First: admit that we failed to monitor and apologize as the leading party. Second, propose a compensation plan. Be sincere and make clear our attitude towards solving problems when we encounter them... Third, put up a wooden sign at the city gate to show our reflection and attitude towards this incident..."

"Compensation requires money, Brother Zhang, we are out of money now... The large number of cancellations has made it very difficult for us..." Upon hearing this, Fatty Yuan said bitterly: "Brother Zhang, you have spread your business too wide. Now everything costs money, and the subsidies have not yet come. Everything is stuck. I am very scared now, afraid that we will all collapse at once!"

"Don't worry about the money. It will be there soon." Zhang Yang on the other end of the phone looked very calm.

"Brother Zhang, did you find any diamond mines in Africa?" Fatty Yuan suddenly seemed a little unsure.

"Better than a diamond mine. Well, our African mobile phone launch is about to begin. I won't talk to you anymore..."

"???"

On the other end of the phone.

There was a deafening cheer.

then……

Amid the cheers, Zhang Yang's passionate voice could be vaguely heard: "Here, I declare one thing. We have solved a century-old problem that has troubled us for thousands of years!"
