Different God of Cooking [Rebirth]

What will happen if the citizens of a country find themselves in a national enterprise selling better and cheaper goods to other countries?

Countless repeats of history give a consistent answer: People will get angry, lose their minds, and start boycotting or even abusing these companies.

This scene has also been staged in China in the future, and New Zealand at this time is no exception.

People don't suffer from scarcity but from inequality.

When the people of New Zealand discovered that the price of Huimei milk in China was cheaper than that in China, they quickly fell into a mood of anger.

More than a dozen reports questioning Huimei appeared in newspapers in New Zealand. At the same time, TV interviews and Internet media, which have become popular in recent years, were not to be outdone, and reported this matter one after another.

All of a sudden, the whole of New Zealand was questioning why Huimei sold milk in China at such a low price.

Huimei Building, inside the president's office.

"What the hell are you, the person in charge of Huaxia, doing! Who gave you the right to label Huimei on Huaxia's milk!"

A bloated middle-aged man sat on his desk and yelled at his mobile phone. On the other end of the mobile phone was the person in charge of Huaxia in the northern hemisphere.

"President, these Huaxia manufacturers did not get my consent at all, and directly used Huimei's label on the milk produced locally in Huaxia. According to the original joint venture contract, they did have the right to use our trademark."

The person in charge of Huaxia made an excuse in a low voice on the phone, but such an excuse made the president of Huimei even more angry:

"You mean I made a mistake signing the contract?"

There was silence on the phone, and the person in charge of Huaxia didn't dare to say a word.In capitalist companies, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is also only command and submission.

Taking a breather and suppressing his urge to think about adults, President Huimei said:

"Tell me about the situation in Huaxia in detail."

No matter what mistakes were made before, it doesn't matter for the time being. The top priority is to figure out the situation in Huaxia, and then think about how to explain it to domestic consumers.

Word of mouth accumulated over decades may be lost if one is not careful.

So the person in charge of Huaxia began to explain that this time he did not dare to hide the situation of the joint venture company, even if Huaxia's businessmen gave him more money, he would not dare.

He can have these gray incomes entirely because of his status in Huimei Company.Once the president of the company is angered, nothing will happen.

The person in charge of Huaxia explained in detail, why the milk produced by Huaxia is so cheap, the current sales policy in Huaxia, sales volume and profit, etc., all reported truthfully.

The only thing he didn't tell the president of Huimei was that he collected money privately and then maliciously raised the price of the "One Tree" bid.

In his opinion, food security has nothing to do with public opinion in New Zealand. In this case, what can be done less is less.

However, it was because of his guilty conscience that he and President Huimei were doomed to have no way to see through the context behind this matter.

"So this matter is caused by someone in the country doing something wrong?"

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and the president of Huimei has never seen what kind of commercial competition means, and it is abnormal that the domestic public opinion is fierce at the first time.

In order to find out who is behind this matter, he will contact the person in charge of Huaxia.But now it seems that this matter should have nothing to do with Huaxia, and we can only temporarily assume that domestic competitors are plotting against Huimei.

"President, what should we do?"

"What else can I do, I must first appease the emotions of domestic consumers. You immediately send me all the materials by fax and email. Don't tell me that you haven't kept any evidence?"

The president's voice was obviously displeased.If his subordinates did these deeds without keeping any evidence, they would be really stupid, and the mall was not suitable for him.

"Yes, yes, I will send it back to you immediately."

The person in charge is obedient, he must have collected all kinds of evidence.In case something happens one day, these evidences may save his life.

Half an hour later, the president's desk was full of documents.Official documents from the Huaxia government, emails with Huaxia companies, test reports, etc.

Official documents and emails have been marked in English by the person in charge.The president of Huimei estimated that the person in charge would not dare to tamper with these materials, so he directly accepted the remarks of the person in charge for the time being.

And those test reports are the things that really give him a headache. As the president of an international dairy company, he knows all too well what the various indicators and values ​​represent.

Where is this milk, this is poison!

Even though he has been in the food industry for decades and thinks he has seen all kinds of big storms, he still feels chills when he sees the test reports of Huaxia Milk.

Don't think that the food markets in developed countries and capitalist countries are sound, transparent and kind, but they are actually equally dirty.

The Lighthouse Country claims to be a beacon of world civilization, but it is still unreasonable in the food market.

More than 80% of the production resources are concentrated in the hands of a few large manufacturers.They firmly control the entire food industry chain from production to sales, and they stipulate that farmers must use specified seeds and fertilizers...the production process cannot be told to the public...

They manipulate every aspect of the food chain, and their only consideration is the company's revenue.

The biggest food scam in Beacon Country is the generic use of sugar.

These food merchants clearly know the daily intake of sugar and the possible harm caused by excessive intake of sugar.

But they never publish these truths, but promote the use of sugar in various fields, drinks, snacks and even medicines.

The reason is simple, the cost of sugar is extremely low, and it is very addictive, they can easily push the whole society into a high sugar consumption society, in order to grab exaggerated monetary profits.

These are just the tip of the iceberg in the food industry of various countries in the world. This is the reason why the so-called crows are as dark as the world.

It's just that President Huimei felt ashamed when he looked at the milk test report in his hand.

Of course, this is just a moment of shame. He has already begun to think about how to manipulate the public opinion media to clean up the reputation of Huimei Company.

Naturally, it is impossible to disclose all the materials in hand to the public.

Although manufacturers are clear about each other's inside story, this is only limited to the industry.

If anyone suddenly finds out with conscience, it will be announced to the whole society.There is no need to wait for the entire industry to attack him together, the immediate anger of the public alone is enough to smash him into scum, so the plan of being open and honest was ruled out by him immediately.

The president of Huimei selected some materials and handed them over to the department in charge of product promotion in the company.After a lot of spring and autumn writing, Huimei announced their answer to the public——

"The Responsibilities an Enterprise Should Assume"

Dear loyal consumers of Huimei:

Thank you for your long-term support to Huimei. Huimei has always insisted on bringing the highest quality milk to every customer who needs milk.It is also because of this concept that Huimei has always adhered to the parity route on the premise of ensuring the quality of milk.

The sales price of Huimei in China, I believe everyone knows how approachable it is.That's why I was so confused when I learned the sales price of Huimei in China.

Huimei must tell everyone here that we have always adhered to our philosophy and never changed...

China is a developing country, and their economy is not as developed as ours.But their people also need milk to survive... In order to bring high-quality milk to Huaxia, Huimei entered the Huaxia market.

Because of the exchange rate problem, the price of Huaxia raw milk is very low, and Huimei has a branch factory in Huaxia to produce cheap milk in China...

Therefore, consumers are requested not to judge Huimei simply by the price.Please believe that Huimei has always been an enterprise with an international mind, and we have been working hard to make the world a better place.

Please believe Huimei Company!

This open letter cites a lot of evidence of China's economic backwardness, cheap labor and raw materials, and at the same time portrays itself as an international company with social responsibility. It is written with emotion and tears.

All of a sudden, consumers in New Zealand praised Huimei, thinking that such a company could represent the conscience of New Zealand.

As a materially rich developed country, New Zealand's humanism is flourishing, and the whole country believes in Christianity and has a heart of fraternity.

This letter from Huimei Company can be said to have touched their pride and made them cheer for the existence of a company like Huimei in their country.

In just five days, the stock price of Huimei rose by 30%, which is an unimaginable increase in normal times.

Moreover, various articles praising Huimei came one after another, and even a donation made by Huimei Company 20 years ago was mentioned again.

Whether it is turning on the TV, newspaper or computer, the hottest topic in New Zealand this week is Huimei Company.

On Monday, the regular meeting of Huimei Company.

President Huimei sat at the front of the conference hall, looking around at his subjects.

The other employees of the company whispered and cast admiring eyes on their president.

The public opinion crisis that Huimei encountered before and the subsequent reversal, most of the company's employees know a lot about how the company's president saved the building from falling.

The President of Huimei also enjoyed the attention ceremony very much. He felt that he was the hero who assassinated the dragon, and he also took this opportunity to fight a beautiful turnaround.

The rise in Huimei's stock price also means that his worth has risen, and he is inevitably a little smug.

In fact, at the beginning, he just wanted to get rid of the negative comments. He never thought that the domestic evaluation of him would be so high.

He was also worried about whether the person behind the incident would take any further actions, but the whole weekend was calm, and he gradually felt relieved, judging this outbreak of public opinion as an accidental event.

"Okay, let's have a meeting."

Seeing that all the department managers have taken their seats, President Huimei began to host today's company meeting.

"I believe everyone already knows about the unexpected situation that Huimei encountered last week, but everyone can rest assured that this matter has been properly handled. In this matter, the publicity department has contributed the most. They wrote An open letter, and then contacted the major media to report, and successfully saved the matter from danger.”

Having said that, the president began to take the lead in applauding, and the entire meeting room immediately burst into applause.

The person in charge of the Propaganda Department is a beautiful middle-aged woman. She got up and showed a sweet smile to everyone, and then said:

"Actually, this matter is all due to the president. He made the entire publicity plan, and we are only responsible for writing the text. I suggest that everyone applaud the president together."

If it was just a thunderbolt from the blue sky just now, it is now a thunderbolt in midsummer, and the entire meeting room is about to explode.

Everyone knows exactly how much force should be used to applaud someone. This is also a science.

Seeing that his employees are so sensible, President Huimei also showed a satisfied smile.

He is already thinking about when to further expand the company's scale, become the largest dairy company in New Zealand, and then conquer the entire international market.

While the employees were applauding endlessly and the president was intoxicated with himself, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a male employee ran to the head of the propaganda department in a panic and communicated with the department manager in a low voice.

The behavior of this employee was really disrespectful, and even the president of Huimei noticed him at the first time. If he was not in a good mood at this time, he might have already opened his mouth to reprimand him.

Very well, you little employee has my attention.

Because the attention was attracted, the president of Huimei also observed the person in charge of the propaganda department who was communicating with him. He watched the expression of the department manager change from red to white, from white to black, and then from black to red.

Normally, he would also be interested in appreciating such a face-changing stunt, but this was at the company's regular meeting, so he didn't need to think about it to know that what the employee reported must have something to do with Huimei.

Suddenly, President Huimei had an ominous premonition.

I originally planned to use today's regular meeting to review the development of the past few years, and then look forward to the future route.However, the president of Huimei has no such intentions at all now, and ended today's regular meeting with a few words.

Before the president of Huimei could speak, the person in charge of the publicity department went directly to the president of Huimei and said:

"President, there is trouble."

Suppressing the ominous premonition in his heart, he took the department manager back to his office, and President Huimei asked what happened.

It turns out that the newspaper suddenly published an article questioning Huimei Company this morning——

"Responsibility or Benefits? "

The newspaper published the quality inspection report of Huimei Company's milk sales in China.

Milk is a national pillar industry that New Zealand is proud of. The citizens have some understanding of the quality standards of milk, so they can understand the milk test report by themselves without official explanations.

Low protein content, high microbial content, insufficient content of various trace elements, excessive fat content...

All indicators are clear at a glance, and everyone knows that the milk sold by Huimei in China is inferior according to New Zealand's industry standards, and it is not allowed to be put on the shelves at all.

However, they can barely understand, after all, the price of this milk is so convenient.For developing countries, some milk is better than no milk.

However, when they continued down the newspaper and saw "additive testing"——

The harmful substance "melamine" was found in the detection of milk additives. According to my country's (New Zealand) milk industry standards, melamine is a toxic and harmful chemical substance, which is usually used to falsify milk indicators and is highly toxic to the human body...

The public has no doubts about the test report. After all, this is the largest newspaper in New Zealand, New Zealand News, and the test report is also issued by the most credible testing agency in New Zealand.

When they saw this, the people in all the newspapers were angry!

This is no longer inferior milk, but harmful liquid!

In order to reduce costs, Huimei dared to add melamine to milk.Although this is just a test report for milk sold in China, what about in New Zealand?What about in other countries?

Huimei has always emphasized that its low price is because of the melamine they add to all milk.

This panic is spreading rapidly, and people are full of doubts about Huimei.

Some people who are more familiar with New Zealand's domestic quality inspection bodies voiced their voices on the Internet: It is impossible to add melamine to domestically produced milk, please continue to buy with confidence.

However, this sentence ignited the flames like sparks, and the public raged: "Is it enough to sell poisoned milk to other countries? You are killing people."

How much I admired Huimei's open letter before, but now I am so angry.

Humans are empathetic creatures.

Citizens of New Zealand can't imagine that such poisonous milk is being sold openly in China.

"President, what should we do? Should we put all the responsibility on Huaxia Company, say that they produced it themselves, and then label it as Huimei Company?"

This is the only solution that the manager of the propaganda department can think of in a short period of time - to divert the trouble to the east.

She also did not expect that this matter would be exposed so quickly.As the person in charge of the open letter, she also knows the situation of Huimei's milk sales in China.

From the bottom of her heart, she thinks that Huimei did not make a big mistake, and it was not Huimei who took the initiative to produce low-quality milk.These milks fully complied with Huaxia's relevant standards, and it was to blame for Huaxia's standards being too loose.

Some people will never reflect on their mistakes and find reasons for their wrong actions time and time again. This beautiful publicity manager is such a person.

Her words made the president of Huimei want to hit someone. Last week, his company advertised that he had the courage to take on international responsibilities, and suddenly changed his rhetoric a few days later.

Do you really think the public is an idiot?They believe what you say.

If it wasn't for her sake, he would let such a stupid thing be the manager of the propaganda department?

At this moment, the president of Huimei is finally convinced that there must be a mastermind behind the whole thing, from the seemingly accidental report on the export company at the beginning, to the discussion on the price of Huimei in China, and the current situation at this moment. The monitoring reports are all from the same people's program.

This terrible plan, one chain after another, did not leave any retreat for Huimei.

President Huimei really wanted to know who planned everything, but he couldn't come up with a result.In the past few years, Huimei has not offended anyone in the mall? ,

The president of Huimei may not be able to come up with the correct answer for the rest of his life, because his logic is that only those whose economic interests are affected by Huimei will choose such a business strategy.

He never imagined that the mastermind of all this was an ordinary Chinese businessman who had no competitive relationship with Huimei.

Putting aside this question that is destined to be unanswerable, the most important thing for Huimei now is how to survive the immediate crisis.

"You should immediately send a press release: All Huimei products on the market are subject to quality inspection voluntarily. As long as there are any harmful additives or the quality is not up to standard, Huimei will pay a huge amount of compensation."

The president of Huimei is still very confident in Huimei's domestic products. Under New Zealand's strict industrial standards, quality is the first requirement if you want to expand the industry.

The most important thing now is to let consumers maintain confidence in Huimei products, at least to prove that Huimei products are safe.

Then he went on to command:

"Announce the situation of Huimei's joint venture company in China, and then explain that we have no production and inspection rights for the joint venture company, and try to shift the focus to the milk that is directly exported from China to China. Finally, do a few more tests , proving that there is no problem with the milk we produce ourselves."

Regarding core contradictions and focal issues, President Huimei's choice is to blur the causal relationship and divert public attention as much as possible.

Don't expect this matter to be resolved perfectly now, he is already prepared to face all kinds of losses.

Huimei is very influential in New Zealand, and there are many TV stations, newspapers, and websites with good relations. Suddenly, the voices defending Huimei suddenly increased.

Although Huimei cannot say that there is a problem with Huaxia's quality standards, journalists, hosts, and netizens can completely. They are "neutral" third parties.

At the beginning, the public in New Zealand just condemned Huimei's practice, but later, they also began to take the initiative to understand the situation of China's dairy industry, whether it is really as low as Huimei said.

Seeing everyone's attention gradually shifting to Huaxia, President Huimei also heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that this matter is finally over.

However, who knew that the New Zealand government suddenly called the person in charge of Huimei to have a heart-to-heart talk, and hinted to Huimei: This matter has risen to the level of international diplomacy, and Huimei must cooperate with the investigation.

President Huimei is really tired. Every time he feels that this matter is coming to an end, and it will develop in an unpredictable direction, he doesn't know how to deal with it.

In a fit of rage, he directly dismissed the person in charge of Huaxia from his post, and then asked the other party to return to China immediately to cooperate with the investigation of the relevant government departments.

The originally high-spirited person in charge of Huaxia is now in mourning.

Obviously, he was going to close another big business soon, and he planned to use this business to become the person in charge of the entire Asian region, so why was he suddenly dismissed.

He has no idea that the root of all this is the big business he has been thinking about - the bidding of "One Tree".

None of this would have happened if he had strictly adhered to New Zealand's dairy production standards and strictly prohibited joint ventures from producing tainted milk; or if he hadn't rashly raised the price of the tender because of the instigation of Chinese dairy merchants.

However, there are never "ifs" in this world.
