Chapter 905: Counterfeit Goods
The noise came from the cleaning and washing area on the first floor.
When Lu Miao arrived, the crowd gathered in a circle.
Lu Miao pushed through the crowd and squeezed in after a long time.
There were many pieces of soap scattered on the ground inside the circle.
Several elderly citizens and security guards protected a girl with short hair behind them.
The blond man on the opposite side was furious and was pointing at them and cursing.
Although the party being scolded did not refute anything, the atmosphere at the scene was tense. Both the staff and the onlookers were obviously unwilling to accept the result.
Lu Miao asked:
"What's going on?"
Seeing that she was wearing a leadership badge on her arm, an old man next to her immediately said indignantly:
"Boss, he's a weirdo, let's shake things up!"
"What?"
Seeing that Lu Miao didn't understand Cantonese, the young girl, who was protected by several security guys, took a few steps forward and explained:
"Boss, he deliberately messed up the place. He just came and said he wanted us to give an explanation. We didn't know what happened, and he just started smashing things!"
"That's all?"
"That's all!"
"I see. Do you speak Cantonese? Let's get everyone around to disperse first. Don't gather here."
"good……"
The little girl sniffed with tears in her eyes, and took the boys to communicate with the surrounding citizens.
Lu Miao took the initiative to contact the blond man:
"I'm terribly sorry, sir..."
As soon as Lu Miao apologized, the other party interrupted her angrily:
"You people who are unreasonable and lack the spirit of contract, I won't ept your apology!"
——You unreasonable people with no sense of contract, I don’t accept your apology!
It's not easy to take a long journey across the ocean.
Anyone who comes all the way here must be here to discuss cooperation; no one is really here to cause trouble.
Lu Miao felt that there must be some misunderstanding, so he did not leave. Instead, he continued to apologize patiently:
"I'm terribly sorry, sir. I apologize for causing you any unpleasantness. Judging from your ent, you should be from the state of Hawaii. It's a beautiful and prosperous place. I think you, whoe from such a beautiful place, must also be elegant and polite. So, could we resolve this issue in a peaceful and polite manner"
—Sir, I'm sorry to have caused you any discomfort. Judging from your accent, you're probably from Hawaii, a beautiful and prosperous place. I imagine that coming from such a beautiful place, you should also be elegant and polite. So, let's resolve this issue peacefully and politely, okay?
There is a way to speak, too.
As expected, the blond man who was furious just now softened his attitude visibly after being praised by Lu Miao with a polite and then aggressive approach.
Glancing up and down at Lu Miao, he saw that she was wearing a neatly-cut shirt and a hip skirt. She spoke calmly and naturally, and exuded a professional business aura.
The blond man suppressed his anger and became more serious.
He asked tentatively: "Are you the person in charge here?"
——Are you the person in charge here?
Lu Miao smiled and said, "It can also be understood in this way."
——You can understand it that way.
"Oh, all right... Thank you for your praise of my hometown. I also apologize for my rudeness just now."
——Okay... Thank you for your praise of my hometown, and I also apologize for my rudeness just now.
Lu Miao shook his head and magnanimously did not pursue the matter any further. Instead, he took the initiative to ask about the reason for the conflict.
Lu Miao personally thought that it might be caused by insufficient communication.
But after listening to the blond man's narration, she held her forehead and shook her head, suddenly feeling speechless and helpless.
This matter can be traced back to the Spring Canton Fair in the first half of this year.
At that time, John King, yes, that was the blond man.
John King signed an order with a local soap factory.
It was originally in good condition, but after John King's users took the product back and sold it for a while, they reported problems with it.
There are some who request to return the goods.
There are also those who demand compensation.
Some people even threatened to sue John King in court for selling counterfeit goods.
In short, the credibility of John King's shop has been greatly reduced in the eyes of local residents.
Coincidentally, the soap factory signed by John King had previously been owned by Lu Miao.
It was at that time that she particularly emphasized the need to clearly distinguish the use of strong alkaline soap at the Beijing North Soap Factory.
There was a lot of soap in the employee allowances distributed during the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, Lu Miao wondered if the soap factory terminated the contract because of this incident.
Now……
It is true.
When John King came here this time, he was actually considering changing his career.
Just when I was looking for new cooperation projects, I saw soap again.
When he went forward to take a look, he found that these soaps had a very pungent smell. He thought that only inferior products would have such a smell, so he couldn't control his anger and questioned them on the spot.
However, the Jingbei Soap Factory had been shut down long ago because of the previous incident.
The exhibitors this time are local factories in Guangzhou.
The person who was in charge of looking after the stall was a student from the Foreign Languages College who was temporarily transferred from a local school...
One party doesn't know Chinese characters and is so angry that he can't tell the difference, while the other party is being scolded completely innocently. This is the situation.
Seeing Lu Miao remained silent, John King continued:
"In the past, I also bought other smallmodities from your country, and all of them were of excellent quality. But those soap products were really terrible! You know that our place is a beautiful one, and you should also be clear that under our climate conditions, we mainly develop agriculture and fisheries. After using those soaps, people's skins got damaged. It would hurt when exposed to ultraviolet rays, and it would also hurt when going fishing in the sea... It's really awful."
I've bought other small items from your country in the past, and they were all of excellent quality. But those soap products are absolutely terrible! You know our country is a beautiful place, but you should also know that in our climate, we mainly develop agriculture and fishing. People's skin is damaged by using those soaps, and it hurts when they're exposed to UV rays and when they go fishing... It's terrible.
“…”
Lu Miao was speechless, realizing that John King's anger was not groundless.
This incident was indeed caused by the lack of rigor of local factories.
But after all, they were her family, and she couldn't bear to trample on them, so she compromised and apologized again politely:
"I'm aware of that soap. Its ingredients are fine, but it's more suitable for industrial cleaning. Perhaps this incident was caused by amunication error. Anyway, I'm terribly sorry for the losses caused to you..."
I know that soap. There's nothing wrong with its ingredients, but it's more suitable for industrial cleaning. Perhaps this incident was caused by a miscommunication, but regardless, I'm deeply sorry for the loss you've suffered.
John King's golden eyebrows knitted together, clearly in doubt:
"I really want to trust you, but the soap made by you has a pungent smell and its quality is really doubtful."
——I really want to trust you, but the soap you make has a pungent smell and the quality is really questionable.
Speaking of the pungent smell, Lu Miao couldn't help but go back to the display booth and asked for the quality inspection report to read.
I originally thought this matter would be a bit tricky to handle.
But after reading the report and smelling the sample soap, Lu Miao almost laughed out loud.
