Chapter 996 Seems Not That Easy
Just like when a company registers, it always registers as many business scopes as possible. When many domestic departments are established, they always have the same calculations as business operators, and they always try to invest as much as possible. Grab vegetables in your own basket.
However, business operators will later find that many of the items registered in the scope of business will not be used at all later, and they will be superfluous at all. However, for these agencies, none of the rights in the basket is superfluous. of.
Although sometimes, they don't want to use those rights, but there are always times when they want to use them.
For example, the National Development and Reform Commission did not take any action in the case of suspected price gouging, and it was all managed by the industrial and commercial departments. But now, it is more active than the industrial and commercial bureaus, and it has done fruitful results. It even has the ability to squeeze out the industrial and commercial departments. trend.
Just like later, in the field of antitrust, it almost squeezed out the Ministry of Commerce.
…………
The atmosphere in the Jinbei car was very relaxed. The people who were transferred to investigate were generally very happy. They sat in their work units cautiously and were subject to scrutiny by leaders at all levels. How could they be as comfortable as going out for business?
Moreover, everyone thinks, how can this matter be challenging?
It depends on whether it will find you, it depends on whether it is serious or not.
As long as you really find one, there will be no problem. This year, they have even punished those hypermarkets in international chains, and they have punished them more than once, let alone these domestic chain stores?
How can their management level and hierarchy compare with those of international chain groups?
Of course, these people also knew that there must be a reason for finding Youjia and Yijia without reporting.
Generally speaking, it is impossible for them to supervise the price situation of all industries. Every time, there will be a key area for inspection and rectification.
For example, a while ago, the focus was on the Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese herbal beverage industry. Recently, it has focused on the communication field, which has nothing to do with the two companies that are going to be investigated today.
Those who participated in the investigation today also know that these two companies are owned by the richest man Feng Yiping, but so what?
They are employees of state organs, and they exercise their powers in accordance with the law.
Moreover, for the unreachable richest man, his boss is more practical.
What about the richest man? Will you pay yourself a penny? If you do well what your boss entrusts you to, you will not only get paid, but also get a bonus. Maybe, if the work is in place, the etiquette is in place, and there will be opportunities for promotion!
Therefore, these clerks are too lazy to care whose company it is. Anyway, they will investigate whoever the leader tells them to.
"Guess, how many hours will we find out the problem?" A person in the back row asked a colleague around him.
"Before you get off work in the afternoon," the colleague said perfunctorily, leaning on the headrest of the second row of seats, raised his head and asked the team leader sitting in the co-pilot, "What do you mean, Zuo Ke?"
Because this is a task assigned by the leader himself, the leader this time is naturally the person with the strongest professional ability.
Zuo Ke, who has rich experience and will never return without success as long as he makes a move, does not think that this investigation is difficult. Twelve points of energy, strive to do this thing the most beautiful, "
"So, our purpose of this investigation is not to find out the problem, but to see how many problems can be found. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Zuo Ke," "Absolutely no problem,"
A group of people can't wait to pat their chests and promise.
"Okay, the front one, Xiao Liu, Xiao Ye, you two are in charge, remember, you must be solid, and don't be greedy. Let's start with the simple ones. On the first day, we must show some results to feedback to the leader. ,"
According to the area allocated in advance, the people in the car got off one by one, and Zuo Ke was the last one. He was in charge of the few houses near the CBD, which happened to be not far from Feng Yiping's office building.
…………
This is a very common Youjia branch in the CBD. Although he came here for the purpose of investigation, Zuo Ke had to admit that it is not unreasonable for Youjia to be so successful in China.
As far as the store image is concerned, it is much more high-end than other convenience stores. Whether it is color or font, you can use one word to describe it, that is, "comfortable."
If you say it professionally, it is "coordination,"
The service attitude of the clerk is also very good. Although he is a young man on duty now, he looks clean and refreshing. When he said "Welcome", he smiled very brightly.
However, no matter how sunny it is, Zuo Ke hurried into the store like an ordinary shopper, nodded towards the air, and went straight to the shelf.
Can I go out in a few minutes? He looked at the storefront of about 70 square meters, and set a certain time in his heart, just three minutes!
Taking a bottle of water casually, Zuo Ke walked slowly in the shelves, paying special attention to those products marked with promotions. However, after more than a minute, Zuo Ke was not as relaxed as before, and he did not find an obvious question?
After the three minutes he had set in his heart passed, Zuo Ke's expression gradually became serious. This is impossible, that is, in those large supermarkets, as long as he walks around a few rows of shelves and finds a problem, it is not a problem at all. No, but now, he has almost finished turning the shelves here, and he didn't even find an obvious problem.
This unscientific!
The little brother behind the cashier counter has already received several groups of customers swiftly. Seeing that Zuo Ke was still inside, he took the time to trot over and asked with a smile, "Hi sir, what can I do for you?"
"You're busy, I'll just take a look," Zuo Ke waved his hand.
No problem, I still don't believe it?
The young man didn't take it seriously, he opened a shop and started a business, he saw a lot of strange people, Zuo Ke wasn't the strangest one, "Then I won't bother you, please call me whenever you need it,"
Zuo Ke has no time to care about him now, he is competing with the price tags and PPTs, and most importantly, he is competing with himself.
Those supermarkets of large multinational companies whose business covers 6 continents can immediately find out the problem. This small convenience store chain that is only in China will be so regulated?
Ten minutes later, Zuo Ke's face turned blue, but he still got nothing!
He couldn't hide it a little bit, and repeatedly looked around the pile of concentrated promotional products facing the door, "Waiter," he waved.
"Hello, please wait a moment," the young man sent a customer away and ran over to ask, "Hello, what's the matter..."
"This tissue," Zuo Ke asked, pointing to the tissue that was being promoted, "I remember, its original price seems to be 3 RMB 8,"
The price tag of this kind of paper towel now shows the original price of 4.9 yuan per pack, and the current price of 3.45 yuan per pack.
"I'm sorry, sir, maybe what you saw is not this brand. I remember the price of every item in this store very clearly, even if I don't check the computer. I'm pretty sure that the original price is 4.9 yuan,"
"Are you sure?" Zuo Ke stared at him and asked, in fact, the so-called original price of 3.8 yuan was fabricated by him casually, just to cheat.
The expression on the young man's face didn't change at all, "I'm very sure, and after this promotion period, that is, tomorrow, it will be adjusted back to the original price of 4.9 yuan,"
Zuo Ke looked at this seemingly inexperienced young man, and when he said these words, he really didn't look like he was lying, "Oh, maybe I misremembered the brand,"
…………
Two hours later, Zuo Ke walked out of the fourth Youjia branch with a dark face, as if he had no interest in going to the next store to investigate. He sat on the gold cup and looked at the store he had just investigated, with people entering from time to time The business seems to be going well, and I start calling other people, "Did you find anything?"
In fact, within these two hours, he had a premonition without a single phone call from the investigation team. Sure enough, according to Murphy's law, his premonition was very accurate. The team members were no longer as relaxed as when they set off in the afternoon. , were a little nervous, and there was some incredible feeling in the tension.
"I'm sorry Zuo Ke, I haven't found anything yet," Zuo Ke could hear the guilty conscience of those people on the phone. They must have thought that other people should have discovered it.
"Continue to investigate, be careful, we meet at 6 o'clock,"
He closed his phone restlessly, and looked at the commercial street not far away, feeling very unreal. Could it be that he was under too much pressure recently, leading to hallucinations?
Otherwise, how could such a thing happen.
Please, this is just a chain of convenience stores in China, and it hasn't been listed yet, okay?
…………
At 6 o'clock, a car of people gathered in a cafe. Zuo Ke looked over one by one, and the first person he saw stood up, "I'm sorry Zuo Ke, I haven't found any problems for the time being this afternoon,"
After saying this, he keenly felt that the atmosphere around him had changed, and his colleagues seemed to be relieved, maybe it was because he was no threat to them this time, or maybe they only found one Just two questions, just a little bit better than yourself?
However, seeing his colleagues meet Zuo Ke's eyes and shake their heads more relaxedly one by one, he was stunned, how could it be possible?
"Not even a misleading price tag?" Zuo Ke couldn't help but patted the table and asked.
"Sorry, we didn't find out," everyone looked at each other and thought it was incredible.
It's just that price gouging is so common, and most people should have experienced it.
For example, there are fictitious original prices.
Later, when everyone was shopping online, many people should have been tricked in this regard.
The usual trick is to raise the original price to make the promotional price appear to be very powerful and attract you to buy it.
This was Zuo Ke's intention of defrauding that young man in the shop just now.
The original price of that kind of paper towel is 4.9, and the current promotion is 3.45, that is, a 30% discount, but if the original price is really 3.8 as Zuo Ke said, then this discount is really nothing.
Of course, this is a more classic form of expression. It may be that near your neighborhood, that person has been shouting with an electric horn, "The store is due, and the stock jeans are jumping off the building for a big sale. The original price is 180, and now they are all 80. " merchants.
There are also low prices that attract you, but you are still settled at high prices.
Some careful people will encounter such a problem in the supermarket. The settlement price displayed at the cash register is higher than the settlement price on the shelf price tag.
Of course, there must be a very small number of people who can discover this. Most people are amazing. Check to see if the items on the list are considered duplicates. Who remembers the prices of those piles of items?
Unless it happens to be a product that has a problem, it is precisely what you are particularly concerned about.
Another way of expression is to fail to fulfill the price commitment.
For example, for an item, the advertised unit price is 33, but the final settlement price is 35.
The last one is also the easiest to find, which is the misleading price tag that Zuo Ke asked just now.
This is very common. For example, one day, you were surprised and delighted to see that there was a large advertisement hanging on the newly built real estate, "The average price is 8000,"
This is equivalent to being cut in half. Just when you are so excited and happy that you are going to be dizzy, you get close to it, and then you suddenly find that there is a small, inconspicuous "starting" on the golden 8000 heel. "Character.
Or in the supermarket, on the price tag of old ham, "16" is marked in large font, and "8.0" is marked in small font next to it, 16 yuan 8, so awesome? You thought you finally got a great deal, but when you settled the bill, you found out that it’s not 16 yuan 8, it’s 168!
…………
All of the above are very common manifestations of price gouging. In some places, such as some large supermarkets, these forms exist, and they can be seen almost everywhere. They have dealt with many cases this year.
Handling opinions are generally to order corrections, confiscate illegal gains, and impose a fine of 5 times the illegal gains; if there is no illegal gain or the illegal gain cannot be calculated, a maximum fine of 500,000 yuan will be imposed.
Zuo Keben thought that, from the looks of it, he could achieve a breakthrough of 500,000 and zero penalties this time, but did he really see a ghost today? Unexpectedly, there is no basis for the punishment of 500 or 5000.
The most common manifestations of price gouging are not found in Youjia.
These few feel that the three views have been shaken. Could it be that our domestic chain stores have become the conscience of the world's chain industry without knowing it?
In many places, the problem is not too few but uneven. Now that no one has found the problem, the clerks are relieved. When one looked up, he just saw a rare car slowly passing by the window, "Hey, Look, Maybach! Tell me, Feng Yiping can’t just sit in it, right?”
"It's really possible. There don't seem to be many cars like this in the whole city,"
Zuo Ke is not in the mood to chat now, "I'm sorry Director, we haven't found anything yet today,"
ps: A group has been established, 454, 231, 228, everyone is welcome to come and give more valuable opinions. I look forward to having the opportunity to communicate with you!
