Chapter 206 Fakes
Given the booming business of teahouses, it is quite normal for others to envy them.

If Cao Lei hadn't supported it, someone else would have already stabbed him several times in the dark.

Su Zhongkang asked Li Hao to buy some samples, and he wanted to see why such clumsy tricks worked.

What is certain is that this is definitely a deliberate incident targeting the teahouse.

The next day, Li Hao came to the teahouse with a small bag of samples, and Su Zhongkang put down his work and hurried over.

"Master, the selling price of them is only one-third of ours. No wonder some people are greedy for petty gain and fell for it." Li Hao placed the clay pots that looked like them at first glance on the tea table.

Upon closer inspection, this clay pot is more delicate than theirs, at least the surface is polished.On the other hand, Su Zhongkang's takeaway pottery pots are inferior compared to them.

If you just look at it from the appearance, it is clear at a glance who is a fake and who is a genuine product.

"This package costs more than us!" Li Hao said with a straight face, but his eyes were unrecognizably aimed at Su Zhongkang, as if he was saying that Su Zhongkang was stingy.

Su Zhongkang stared hard, and immediately sent Li Hao back fiercely, and then said righteously: "We sell tea, don't put the cart before the horse. As long as the quality of the tea is good, even if the packaging is slightly worse, there will still be people chasing to buy it."

Li Hao turned his mouth away, only daring to complain in his heart.If you are stingy, you are stingy, and you are reluctant to spend money on packaging. Now you will be slapped in the face by pirates.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be listening attentively.

Su Zhongkang picked up the pot and looked at it, and there was a book of teahouse words printed on the bottom of the pot.

"A teahouse? Where is this?" Su Zhongkang asked Li Hao.

Li Hao raised his head and said: "I searched carefully, and there is no registration information for this Yiwan teahouse at all. I think this is a copy of the signboard of our Yiwan teahouse. Otherwise, how could the position of the font be the same as ours? It's not much different!"

"It makes sense! But this bowl is indeed very different from the original one, and it's not considered an imitation at all." Su Zhongkang remained silent, and the stone in his heart became heavier and heavier.

He thought that since it was a counterfeit, their trademark would be something ambiguous like "One Stone Wan Tea House".Unexpectedly, they are not in this form. In this way, it seems untenable to sue them for infringement.

"Before I came to tell you, we had already discussed several times. We were really out of options, so we reported it." Li Hao said solemnly.Although he occasionally complained about his master, in the end he still had a sense of belonging to the teahouse, and he was the one who was most indignant about it.

Su Zhongkang didn't say anything, just opened the clay pot.

As soon as the clay pot was opened, a strong tea fragrance wafted out.Su Zhongkang frowned after smelling it a few times.

Seeing Su Zhongkang's reaction, Li Hao said, "The scent of this tea is very similar to the one in our teahouse when you smell it for the first time, but after smelling it a few times, you will be judged. I have to say that this counterfeiter is really a master Experts, they probably found the place where our tea is purchased, and then bought the next-quality tea from there, shoddy it, and then let some of our customers be fooled."

This analysis was something they racked their brains in the past two days.Moreover, they have brewed this kind of tea more than once, and the taste of the tea is also weird, a little bit like the teahouse, but after a careful aftertaste, it feels very different.

"Where are you sure you bought this tea?" Su Zhongkang asked.

"That's right, after I received your order yesterday, I went back to discuss with them. The people over there probably knew that our side was suspicious, so they did it more and more covertly. Originally, we planned to let everyone A customer who bought it helped buy it again, but he didn't expect that person to sell it to the person we entrusted. Later, the customer really couldn't buy it, so he gave us the bag he bought before. "Li Hao's expression was very strange. He thought that the person who sold the fake goods was too stupid. It's really weird that someone bought it and didn't sell it.

If he was selling counterfeit goods, then he must have sold them before others had time to react. If he could make a fortune, he would be so stubborn!
Originally Li Hao said this as a joke, he thought that his master would be as stunned as he was when he first heard it, but he didn't expect that Su Zhongkang frowned even deeper.

Su Zhongkang poured out part of the tea leaves from the earthen jar and put them in his hands, then gently poked the tea rice a few times with his fingers, picked out some of them, then looked at Li Hao, and said, "Extend your hands here."

Li Hao obediently stretched out his hands in front of his chest, with a worried expression on his face.Looking at his master's expressionless face, he was very worried whether he would be slapped on the palm like he was a student.

Su Zhongkang put the tea and rice in his hand into Li Hao's two hands respectively, and said, "Take a closer look, what's the difference between them?"

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and then he carefully identified two lumps of tea rice, one big and one small.Slowly, he discovered some clues, and after confirming it again, he immediately said in surprise: "This tea belongs to us."

Li Hao looked at the small lump of tea rice in his hand, and suddenly realized.

No wonder they find it strange, it turns out that the counterfeiter put the tea bought from the tea house among other teas of much lower quality, which created the illusion of false ones.

"This is too treacherous!" Li Hao's cheeks were flushed because of his extreme anger now.No wonder those tea drinkers would be greedy for petty gains and buy such defective products. Such fraudulent methods have deceived even their own people.

"Master, you are really amazing. We have spent several days studying in vain, and once you bring it to your side, you will see through the trick without any effort." Li Hao admired him, with gold stars in his eyes, admiring him infinitely Su Zhongkang.

It is said that the three cobblers are the best Zhuge Liang, but Su Zhongkang didn't expect them to be compared by Su Zhongkang.

Su Zhongkang was silent and didn't care about Li Hao's praise at all.The tea leaves were all made by his hands, if he couldn't recognize them, then his efforts for so long were really in vain.Of course, he would never say these words.

"Go back and check the previous tea transaction records, and pay special attention to some people in the teahouse." Su Zhongkang ordered.

Although Su Zhongkang didn't say it clearly, Li Hao immediately understood it.Problems like this usually involve internal and external collusion, so he has to be alert to this and not take it lightly.

Su Zhongkang took this opportunity to introduce some tea identification techniques to Li Hao in detail, and then let him go back.
