Good news, the last time I opened a separate chapter to explain the plot was last time!
Some book friends don’t understand the plot and have posted many comments questioning it, so let me explain the main points of doubt.
First, why did the protagonist do this? I read the reader's reply and felt that the protagonist had previously proposed triple compensation, and that they had insurance and asked you to go through the formalities, but then the protagonist refused. Why? Because it felt troublesome, and it felt wrong. Why did they ask me to go through your insurance? Shouldn't you pay for it yourself or go through the insurance? One issue that needs to be emphasized here is not because of money, but because this insurance is different from the car insurance mentioned by the reader. Both parties in car insurance are human beings, with the same rights and obligations, and there are special provisions such as the Road Safety Law, so we should follow its provisions.
Even if it is car insurance, it is impossible that there was an accident and you call my insurance company to negotiate. I have to contact the insurance first, and then I will have a clear discussion with my insurance, and then let my insurance repair your car or compensate you. I should be the one negotiating with the insurance, not the other party.
Not to mention that here, seeking insurance is a platform regulation, but according to the Food Safety Law and the Consumer Rights Protection Law, you must first find the merchant. Whoever sells the product should be contacted if there is a problem.
This can't be simply understood as a reluctance to do so, but rather a question of obligation. Why do businesses buy insurance? One reason is convenience. However, consumers are left to negotiate with the insurance company. Is this fair to consumers? The business is free, while consumers have to negotiate for compensation. This effectively shifts all responsibilities directly to the insurance company and the consumer. Remember, the obligation to negotiate with the insurance company originally belongs to the business. The protagonist doesn't want to hassle, so he wants to be direct.
What I understand here as meal insurance should be a contractual relationship between the merchant itself and the insurance company. It is a compensation for the merchant itself after a problem occurs, not to mention that the Food Safety Law and the Consumer Rights Protection Law have clear provisions.
As for the question of the protagonist being a strong person... I can't answer that. Because the protagonist has a system and a big name, does that mean he has to go after big companies and enterprises? I don't think so, because that's another form of moral kidnapping.
Second, there's the issue of the shifting and reversing of the burden of proof. Some say that means businesses are left to be blackmailed. It's important to emphasize that consumers and businesses are not legally equal. Why is it called the Consumer Rights Protection Law instead of the Business Rights Protection Law? Not to mention that blackmailing someone can easily constitute extortion. Consumers can't always open boxes, but businesses can install surveillance cameras to record the food preparation process, providing the most direct evidence. Many people feel that businesses are being wronged and need to prove their innocence. However, food and pharmaceuticals are very special cases, as are other durable goods like computers. It's difficult and illogical for consumers to provide evidence. On the contrary, it's easier for producers or businesses to prove their rights than for consumers, hence the need for a reversal and shifting of the burden of proof.
Finally... the above is actually nonsense. After all, this is a novel. What everyone likes to read is definitely the kind of confrontation with the strong and the kind of excitement. So I am also struggling with whether to abbreviate this plot. It’s just that some book friends have always wanted me to write about this aspect... I am struggling.
