Chapter 133: It doesn't seem that easy
Just as when an enterprise registers, it will always register as much of its business scope as possible, and many departments in China always have the same calculation as the business operators when they are established, and always try to buy as many vegetables as possible in their baskets.

However, enterprise operators will later find that many of the items registered in the business scope are not used at all later, and they are redundant at all, but for these organs, none of the rights they have in the basket are superfluous.
Sometimes, though, they don't want to use those rights, there will always be a time when they want to use them.
For example, the NDRC used to take little action on the issue of suspected price gouging, and it was all under the management of the industrial and commercial departments, but now, it is more active than the industrial and commercial bureau, and it has also done a very effective job, and there is even a tendency to squeeze the industrial and commercial departments out of here.
Just like later, in the field of antitrust, it almost squeezed out the Ministry of Commerce.
…………
The atmosphere in the Jinbei car is very relaxed, and these people who were selected to investigate are generally very happy, sitting in the unit cautiously, and accepting the scrutiny of leaders at all levels at any time.
Moreover, everyone thinks, what's so challenging?
It depends on whether it will find you, it just depends on whether it is more real or not.
As long as you really find one, there must be no problem, this year, they have even punished those hypermarkets of international chains, and they have been punished more than once, not to mention these domestic chains?
How can their management level and level be compared with those international chain groups?
Of course, these people also know that if they didn't report it, they found Shangjia and Yijia, and there must be a reason.
Generally speaking, it is impossible for them to supervise the price situation in all industries, and every once in a while, there will be an area that will be focused on inspection and remediation.
For example, the focus of the previous period was on the Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese medicine beverage industry, and recently, it has been concentrated in the field of communications, which is completely incompatible with the two companies to be investigated today.
Those who participated in the investigation today also know that these two companies are both companies under the name of the richest man Feng Yiping, but so what?
They are functionaries of state organs and exercise their functions and powers in accordance with the law.
Moreover, for the unreachable richest man, his boss is more practical.
What about the richest man? Will he pay himself a penny of salary? Do a good job of the things assigned by the boss, not only will you get a salary, but also a bonus, maybe, the work is in place, the etiquette is also in place, and there will be a chance to be promoted!
Therefore, these clerks don't bother to care whose company it is, anyway, they will check whoever the leader asks them to check.
"Guess we'll find out the problem in a few hours?" asked a colleague in the back row.
"Before getting off work in the afternoon," the colleague said perfunctorily, holding on to the headrest of the second row of seats, and asked the team leader sitting in the passenger seat with his head in his head, "What do you say?"
Because this is a task personally assigned by the leader, this time the leader is naturally the strongest cadre with the strongest business ability.
Zuo Ke, who has rich experience and will never return in vain, does not think that there is any difficulty in this investigation work, "I still can't be careless, everyone knows the nature of this work, so we must work hard to do this thing beautifully,"
"So, the purpose of this investigation is not to find out the problems, but to see how many problems can be found, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Zuoko," "Absolutely no problem,"
A cadre of people can't wait to pat their chests and promise.
"Okay, the front piece, Xiao Liu, Xiao Ye, the two of you are responsible, remember, you must be solid, don't be greedy, start with the simple, on the first day, we must come up with some achievements to feedback to the leadership,"
According to the pre-allocated area, the people in the car got off one after another, Zuo Ke was the last, and he was in charge of the few near the CBD, which happened not far from Feng Yiping's office building.
…………
This is a very common Youjia branch in the CBD, although it is for the purpose of investigation, but Zuo Ke has to admit that it is not unreasonable for Youjia to be so successful in China.
In terms of store image, it is much more high-end than other convenience stores, whether it is color or font, it can be described in one word, that is, "comfortable,"
If you put it professionally, it's "coordination,"
The service attitude of the clerk is also in place, and now the person on duty, although it is a young man, looks clean and refreshing, and when he says "welcome", his smile is also very sunny.
However, no matter how sunny it was, Zuo Ke hurried into the store like a normal shopper, nodded into the air, and headed straight for the shelves.
Can I go out in a few minutes? He looked at the storefront of about 70 square meters, and set a time in his heart, just three minutes!
With a bottle of water in his hand, Zuo Ke walked slowly around the shelves, especially paying attention to the goods marked by the promotion, but, after more than a minute, Zuo Ke was not as relaxed as before, and he didn't find an obvious problem?
The three minutes set in his heart passed, Zuo Ke's expression gradually became solemn, this is impossible, it is in those large supermarkets, he only needs to walk around a few rows of shelves and find a problem, that is no problem at all, but now, he is almost finished turning the shelves, and he has not even found an obvious problem.
It's not scientific!
The little brother behind the cash register, who has already received several groups of customers, saw that Zuo Ke was still inside, and took the time to trot over and asked with a smile, "Hello sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"You're busy, I'll just take a look for myself," Zoko waved his hand.
No problem, I still don't believe it?
The young man didn't care, he opened a shop to do business, he saw a lot of strange people, and Zuo Ke was not the weirdest, "Then I won't bother, please feel free to greet me if necessary,"
Zuo Ke will have no time to take care of him, he is competing with that price tag, competing with that PPT, and most importantly, he is competing with himself.
The supermarkets of large multinational companies whose business covers 6 continents can find out the problem immediately, and this small convenience store chain that is only in China will be so standardized?
Ten minutes later, Zuo Ke's face was already a little blue, and he still found nothing!
He couldn't hide it, and repeatedly looked around the pile of centrally promoted products that were facing the door, "Waiter," he beckoned.
"Hello, please wait," the young man saw off a customer and ran over to ask, "Hello, what's the ...... ,”
"This tissue," Zuo Ke asked, pointing to the tissue being promoted, "I remember, it seems to be 3 yuan 8,"
This kind of paper towel is now marked with the original price of 4.9 yuan per pack and the current price of 3.45 yuan per pack.
"I'm sorry sir, maybe you don't see this brand, the price of every product in this store, don't check the computer, I remember it very clearly, I'm pretty sure, the original price is 4.9 yuan,"
"Are you sure?" Zuo Ke stared at him and asked, in fact, the so-called original price of 3 yuan 8 was fabricated by him casually, just to cheat him.
The expression on the young man's face did not change at all, "I am very sure, and after this promotion period, that is, tomorrow, it will be adjusted back to the original price of 4.9 yuan,"
Zuo Ke looked at this young man who didn't seem to be deeply involved in the world, and when he said this, he really didn't look like he was lying, "Oh, that may be that I remember the wrong brand,"
…………
Two hours later, Zuo Ke walked out of the fourth Youjia branch with a black face, as if he was no longer interested in going to the next store to investigate, sat on the golden cup, looked at the store he had just investigated, people came in and out from time to time, and the business was very good, and began to call other people, "Did you find anything?"
In fact, from these two hours, the investigation team did not make a single phone call, he had a hunch, sure enough, according to Murphy's law, his hunch was very accurate, and the team members were no longer as relaxed as when they set off in the afternoon, they were all a little nervous, and there was some incredible feeling in the nervousness.
"I'm sorry Zuo Ke, I haven't found anything for the time being," Zuo Ke could hear from the phone that those people's hearts were weak, and they must have thought that other people should have already made discoveries.
"Continue the investigation, be careful, we will meet at 6 o'clock,"
He closed his phone irritably, looked at the commercial street not far away, and felt very unreal, could it be that he had been under too much pressure recently, which led to hallucinations?
How could such a thing happen otherwise?
Please, this is just a domestic chain of convenience stores, and they haven't been listed yet, okay?
…………
At 6 o'clock, a carload of people met in a café, Zuo Ke looked over one by one, and the first person he saw stood up, "I'm sorry Zuo Ke, I didn't find any problems in the afternoon for the time being,"
After saying this, he keenly felt that the atmosphere around him had changed, and his colleagues seemed to be relieved, maybe it was because he didn't pose a threat to them this time, or maybe they only found one or two problems, and they were just a little better than themselves?
However, seeing his colleagues meeting Zuo Ke's gaze, shaking their heads more easily than the other, he froze, how could it be?
"Not even a misleading price indication?" Zuo Ke couldn't help but pat the table and ask.
"I'm sorry, we didn't find out," everyone looked at each other, and they all thought it was incredible.
Price gouging is all too common, and most people should have experienced it.
For example, there is a fictitious original price.
Later, when everyone was shopping online, many people should have fallen for it in this regard.
The usual trick is to raise the original price to make it appear that the promotional price is very powerful and attract you to chop your hands.
This is the intention of Zuo Ke to deceive the young man in the store just now.
That kind of paper towel, marked with the original price of 4.9, is now on promotion of 3.45, that is, 7% off, but if the original price is really 3.8 as Zuo Ke said, then this discount is really nothing.
Of course, one of the more classic manifestations of this method may be the merchant near your community, who has been shouting with an electric horn, "The store expires, and the stock jeans jump off the building for sale, the original price is 18, and now it is 80," the merchant has been shouting.
There are also low prices that attract you to the past, but still settle at high prices.
Some careful people will encounter such a problem in the supermarket, the settlement price displayed at the cash register is higher than the settlement price on the shelf price tag.
Of course, the people who can find out about this must be very few, most people are great to see if the things on the list are considered duplicates, who remembers the price of a large number of things?
Unless it's a product that happens to be in trouble, it's exactly what you're particularly concerned about.
Another manifestation is the non-fulfillment of price commitments.
For example, if the unit price of a thing is advertised, the unit price advertised is 33, and the settlement price is 35.
The last, and the easiest to find, is the misleading price indication that Zuo Ke just asked.
This is very common, for example, one day, you are surprised and happy to see that the newly built building is hung with a large advertisement, "average price 8000,"
This is equivalent to cutting in half, not only is it good, just when you are excited and happy and almost dizzy, you are close to it, and then you find that the golden 8000 heels, there is a small, inconspicuous "Qi" word.
Or in the supermarket, you see the price tag of the old ham, marked with a large font "16", next to it with a small font marked "8.0", 16 pieces of 8, so powerful?
…………
All of the above are very common forms of price gouging, and in some places, such as some large supermarkets, these forms are available, and they can be seen almost everywhere, and they have dealt with many cases this year.
The handling opinions are generally to order corrections, confiscate illegal gains, and impose a fine of 5 times the amount of illegal gains, and if there are no illegal gains or the illegal gains cannot be calculated, a maximum fine of 500,000 yuan will be imposed.
Zuo Ke originally thought that it seemed that this time he could achieve a breakthrough of 500,000 yuan penalty to zero, but today he really saw the hell? He couldn't even find a basis for the punishment of 500 or 5,000.
The most common manifestations of price gouging are not found in Youjia.
These people feel that the three views are shaken, is it unconsciously, our domestic chain stores, has become the conscience of the world's chain industry?
Since everyone didn't find the problem, the clerks relaxed, and when they looked up, they just saw a rare car slowly passing by the window, "Hey, look, Maybach! You say, Feng Yiping won't just sit inside,"
"It's really possible, it seems that there are not many cars in the city,"
Zuo Ke is not in the mood to make small talk now, "I'm sorry Director, we didn't find anything for the time being today," (To be continued.) )
