When will I have a long tassel?

"The poor performance of the Changying machine tool caused no less than 10 serious accidents in Lusanya!"

In the small conference room of Linji Group, Tang Zifeng informed a group of senior executives about the news sent by the Lusanya Embassy via email, which shocked everyone for a moment.

"The motor caught fire, the main shaft broke, the gear box exploded... This is completely impossible."

Yu Xiaohui, chief engineer of the group, took the printout of the email, read a short paragraph, and frowned.

The header of the email is very clear. This is an article in the largest local newspaper in Lusanya. The core content is to promote the unreliability of the quality of Chinese machine tools. The article lists the problems that Chinese machine tools have experienced in Lusanya, and specifically mentions the name of Changying Machine Tools, and lists a large number of quality accidents that occurred with Changying Machine Tools. Some accidents even caused injuries to operators and property losses.

"It's not surprising that machine tools break down, but it's a bit bizarre to say that such a bad accident happened, and there were more than 10 accidents." Yu Xiaohui said, "Changying machine tools sell well in Lusanya, which is similar to Fatty's Uncle’s propaganda has a lot to do with it. However, so far, the number of long-tassel machine tools in Lusanya is no more than 1,000. How could so many serious accidents happen? "

"I think this is someone who is spreading rumors." Zhang Jianyang, the executive deputy general manager, guessed, "Someone should be able to spend some money to bribe a reporter and make up a few stories to damage our reputation. .”

"Indeed, in market competition, this kind of thing is not uncommon." Zheng Kang, the newly appointed general manager of the sales company, also agreed.

"Of course this possibility exists." Tang Zifeng said, "The news from the embassy said that they had contacted the newspaper as soon as possible and hoped that the newspaper would not make excuses and be responsible for the content of the report. . The newspaper insisted that their report was well-founded and could provide all original information.

"Judging from the newspaper's statement, I'm afraid this report is not entirely a rumor, but has some basis."

"This is strange." Chen Bo, the vice president in charge of overseas affairs, said, "If there is a problem with our machine tools, the customer will definitely report it to our after-sales service center, report it for repair, or make a complaint. Practice. According to this report, these more than ten quality incidents occurred in more than a year, but we have not received any feedback. Isn’t this strange?”

"Could it be that the African After-sales Service Center concealed the information?" Chief Accountant Shu Xin asked.

Chen Bo shook his head decisively and said: "This is impossible. First of all, the personnel at the African After-sales Service Center are very reliable and it is absolutely impossible to conceal information. Secondly, if such quality really appears The after-sales service center is not responsible for the accident, and there is no need for them to hide the information."

"This is indeed a bit strange." Tang Zifeng said, "Let's do this, Lao Chen, you arrange for the African after-sales service center to find out about the situation, and Xiao Zheng also asks the sales company to find out about the situation. I will contact Ningmo later, Let him find out through the channels of the machine tool school. By summarizing the situation from several aspects, we will know what the problem is."

Separated by tens of thousands of kilometers, everyone was anxious and had no choice but to follow Tang Zifeng's arrangement and send their own people to understand the situation. The group is not idle either. Zhang Jianyang asked relevant departments to check the list of equipment exported to Africa in the past period, and then check the corresponding production ledgers to determine whether there are any hidden quality risks. In fact, there is little need to do so. In recent years, the production of China's industrial enterprises has become more and more standardized, and the quality management system has become very mature. The possibility of large-scale quality defects is almost non-existent.

The African after-sales service center of Linji Group is not in Lusanya, and it will take some time to arrange for people to go to Lusanya to investigate the machine tool accident situation. On the other hand, Ning Mo was very efficient. After receiving Tang Zifeng's WeChat message, Ning Mo was furious and cursed the newspaper for more than ten minutes. Then he vowed that the matter would be taken care of by him. Ensure that it is settled as quickly as possible.

Ning Mo is actually not in Lusanya at this time. He is the principal of the Luzhong Machine Tool School and the principal of more than a dozen other machine tool schools jointly run by China and Africa. He needs to constantly travel to many countries. However, he has a large number of direct disciples in Lusanya, and it is easy to find a few random people to learn about the Changying Machine Tool accident.

In less than a day, the news from Ningmo came back, and dozens of high-definition photos were posted. When the senior executives looked at the photos, they all understood, and they almost felt a sense of absurdity.

Serious machine tool accidents were real and the newspaper was not spreading rumors. However, the machine tool where the accident occurred was not of the Changying brand, but weird brands such as "Changying", "Changying" and "Goshawk". The photos that Ningmo had people take back were exactly the trademarks on these machine tools. The Chinese part was not the same as "长缩", but the pinyin was exactly the same.

Changying Machine Tool has a high reputation in Lusanya, but most people remember its pinyin. When encountering those copycat brands with the same pinyin, everyone is a little confused.

"In other words, the reporter made a mistake?" Shu Xin asked.

Tang Zifeng sneered and said, "That's not necessarily true."

"What's going on?" Shu Xin asked in surprise.

Tang Zifeng said: "Ning Mo asked someone to find out that the reporter who wrote this report has very good Chinese skills. If he is an ordinary person, even if he knows a little Chinese, he will not be able to distinguish between several Chinese characters for a while. The difference is possible. But this reporter obviously went for the Changying brand. If you say that he didn’t notice the differences between the brands, would you believe it?"

Zheng Kang echoed: "This is a bit like the difference between Oreo and Yue Li Yue. It is entirely possible for ordinary consumers to be deceived by counterfeit brands without noticing for a moment. But if it is a person who specializes in investigating Oreo It’s a bit strange that the Austrian reporter couldn’t notice the difference between the two brands. In the report he wrote, he splashed a lot of dirty water on Changying Machine Tools in a far-fetched way, so it’s strange that there’s nothing fishy in it.”

"Obviously, first of all, someone copied our Changying brand, used homophonic sounds to get past it, and deceived African users. The equipment of these copycat brands was of low quality and caused many accidents. Since these machine tools were not purchased from our sales points , so these users cannot ask our after-sales service center to provide maintenance services, which is why the after-sales service center did not feedback relevant information." Chen Bo analyzed.

"I guess that some users should have made service requests to the after-sales service center, but because these faulty machine tools were not real long-tassel machine tools, the after-sales service center rejected their requests and did not record these situations. ." Zhang Jianyang said.

"This is a big mistake." Chen Bo said, "Logically speaking, if there is such a copycat brand, users will mistakenly think it is our machine tool and report it to the after-sales service center. The after-sales service center should be vigilant. . If they could have reported this matter to us earlier, they would not have been caught and used this matter to pour dirty water on us."

Tang Zifeng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to blame them for this. The sales of machine tools in Africa are growing too fast and the after-sales service center is under too much pressure. It is understandable that they lack such sensitivity for a while. As for letting When people take advantage of something, it is actually something they want to inflict.

"I am fully confident that the reporter who reported this matter took advantage of others. If nothing else, he should have taken euros."

"Maybe it's the Japanese yen." Zhang Jianyang said with a smile, "Japanese machine tools are also severely squeezed by us in the African market. Okada Seizo, the person in charge of Someno Machine Tool's African region, is an old friend of ours. Such a trick , it seems that the Japanese are better at it.”

"Yes, I forgot about the Japanese." Tang Zifeng nodded.

"These people are too hateful." Yu Xiaohui wrinkled her nose and said bitterly.

"Who do you think is hateful?" Tang Zifeng asked.

Yu Xiaohui said: "The manufacturers who copy our brand, the Japanese who are behind the scenes, and the reporters who are paid to deliberately smear us, these people are disgusting."

"Yeah, that's true." Tang Zifeng said, "But Xiaohui, let me tell you some happy news. The reporter who smeared us has been dealt with by your fat uncle. The ones he collected Black money, whether it is euros or yen, will certainly not be able to compensate for his medical expenses."

"Really?" Yu Xiaohui's eyes widened, "Uncle Fatty really let people do this? Is this... illegal?"

These two people refer to each other as "Uncle Fatty", and everyone is used to it. At the first group meeting, Yu Xiaohui was embarrassed to call Ning Mo that way, but she changed the names several times and felt awkward. Finally, Tang Zifeng stepped forward and took the initiative to use the title "Uncle Fatty", which solved the problem. The advantage of being a fat man is that it is easy for people to feel close to each other. Now at the group office meeting, when everyone talks about Ning Mo, they all refer to him as fat man.

Tang Zifeng said: "I know Fatty. He has always hated evil. People have bullied us, so it's strange that he doesn't deal with them. As for breaking the law, lynching in revenge is allowed in Lusanya."

"The fat man himself was not in Lusanya, and he did not directly ask anyone to deal with the reporter. He just expressed some dissatisfaction. Then his disciples found the reporter and dealt with him. By the way, return the fat man to me. I sent some very bloody photos, do you want to see them?"

"No!" Yu Xiaohui quickly refused, then laughed again and said, "He deserves it, who made him provoke Uncle Fatty."

Everyone also laughed. After laughing, Shu Xin said: "It doesn't mean much to just deal with a reporter, it's just to relieve anger. In this matter, I think the most worthy of our attention should be those manufacturers that copy the Changying brand."
