Chapter 216: The store manager ran away
"Identity card similar to a product!" Shi Yi immediately said: "Each anti-counterfeiting logo has a serial number, and then the company opens several telephone lines to specifically identify the authenticity of the cosmetics they receive..."
"Dr. Shi, I'll answer the phone." Before Shi Yi could finish his words, a rapid phone ringing sound came from his phone. Lu Yongming hesitated for a moment and said to Shi Yi.
"Yeah." Shi Yi nodded gently, and temporarily put his hand holding the phone on the steering wheel. For some reason, a strong sense of palpitations suddenly flashed in his heart...
"Dong Shi." A few minutes later, Lu Yongming's voice came out again through his mobile phone. Unlike before, his tone became more and more solemn: "The manager of the branch No. 107, Moganshan Road, Hangzhou..."
"What's wrong?!"
"She...she got a batch of fake cosmetics from somewhere and put them on the store for sale..." Lu Yongming's voice seemed a little hesitant, but the tone between his words was already filled with an angry aura.
"What?!" Hearing Lu Yongming's words, Shi Yi's mind suddenly roared, and he was frozen there. The wholly-owned chain store had a fake cosmetics sale?!!!
What does this mean? Lu Yongming is very clear, and Shi Yi is even more clear!
Before he could think too much, Shi Yi immediately asked: "Who is the manager of the No. 107 store on Moganshan Road? Where is the store located on Moganshan Road?"
"The manager of the No. 107 store is called Liu Fangfang, and the store is located in No. 116, Moganshan Road." Lu Yong had obviously retrieved the information of this store. After hearing Shi Yi's inquiry, he immediately reported it. After saying this, Lu Yongming added: "Now Manager Chen has driven toward Hangzhou. Director Shi, are you going there first..."
"If you have something to do, please contact me." Shi Yi thought for a moment, and then made a decision, and immediately said, "I'll go over and take a look now."
"Okay." Lu Yongming responded and hung up the phone. The sudden counterfeit cosmetics hit the market, making Lu Yongming and even Anwar unresponsive. Now, counterfeit cosmetics have been sold in wholly-owned chain stores!
A strong sense of crisis filled Shi Yi's heart because he knew very well that once this matter was not handled properly, Anhua Cosmetics' reputation for hard-working management in China would be wasted. Once it had a bad impact, Anhua Cosmetics' opportunity to join the chain can only be put aside. For Anhua, who is now in urgent need of a large amount of working capital, it is like being pinched to his throat!
"Liu Fangfang?" Shi Yi raised his eyebrows gently, a familiar and unfamiliar name.
"Hello everyone, everyone. Now I am in No. 116, Moganshan Road. The store behind me is a well-known cosmetics chain store in Zhejiang Province... Anhua Cosmetics Moganshan Road Store. Ms. Liu, who is by my side, bought an Anhua series cosmetics maintenance set worth 1,888 yuan in this store a few days ago. However, after buying it for a few days, Ms. Liu found that the maintenance set she bought for nearly 2,000 yuan was actually an unknown thick paste that emitted a foul smell..."
When Shi Yi rushed to Lane 116, Moganshan Road, he saw three people standing not far away. A man carrying a camera pointed the camera at a woman holding a microphone. Next to the reporter, there was a middle-aged woman dressed in a brightly-dressed, looking about forty years old and slightly fat. In the hands of the middle-aged woman, she was carrying a box of cosmetics in a special packaging bag for Anhua Cosmetics Store and was talking to the camera.
"..." The car slowly stopped at the door of the cosmetics store. Shi Yi, wearing a pair of light white jeans and a plaid t-shirt, pushed the door from the car, and slowly glanced over the three female reporters. Without saying anything, he raised his legs and walked towards the No. 107 store half-covered with the store.
"This little comrade, please wait!" However, Shi Yi didn't want to say anything, which did not mean that the female reporter didn't want to ask anything. After seeing Shi Yi get off the car, she walked towards the store. The female reporter called Shi Yi and trotted to Shi Yi. After taking a breath, she handed the microphone to Shi Yi and said, "Hello, I am a reporter from Zhejiang Satellite TV news column. Can you delay you for a few minutes?"
"What's the matter?" Shi Yi took a breath, squeezed out a smile and nodded, although the other party was here to sabotage the situation.
"That's right." The female reporter had a professional smile on her face. She was less than 1.60 meters tall and stood in front of Shi Yi a little short. She could only raise her head slightly, hand the microphone to Shi Yi's mouth, and asked: "We have received complaints from consumers that there are counterfeit products for sale in Anhua cosmetics chain store. I wonder if you are also here to buy cosmetics in Anhua cosmetics store? Regarding the issue of counterfeit products, I wonder if you have any opinions on us?"
"Is that?" Shi Yi really didn't know what to say. He finally organized a set of coping words. Before he could even say it, he saw that several private cars suddenly appeared at the intersection where he came in and drove in one after another...
"Let's go, settle the score with him!" The car stopped at the entrance of the store, and four or five middle-aged women got out of these cars. Without exception, each of them was carrying a bag in his hand, which obviously contained fake cosmetics bought from here.
"Since you don't want to say anything, then don't disturb me." The female reporter's eyes lit up and immediately threw Shi Yi aside. Her eyes were red, and she greeted the women who had just appeared. Her professional smiles bloomed on her face.
"..." Seeing this scene, Shi Yi's face became a little gloomy again, and he walked towards the store without saying a word.
"Sir, I'm sorry, our store is not open today." The store was dark and the lights were not turned on. A girl who was packing things in front of the bar raised her head and saw Shi Yi who was pushing the door in. She immediately walked up and wanted to rush Shi Yi out: "If you want to buy cosmetics, please come again tomorrow, okay?"
"You... are rushing me?" Shi Yi's eyes widened.
"Sir, don't get me wrong." The girl waved her hand quickly and said, "There was some minor situation in our store today and it is temporarily unavailable. Please come again tomorrow, okay?"
"And you do business like this." The girl's performance disappointed Shi Yi to the extreme. She took a breath and looked directly at the girl: "Let Liu Fangfang come out to see me immediately!"
"Shop Manager Liu..." Hearing Shi Yi's name was reported, the girl's face suddenly changed: "You... are you from the company?"
"Are you right, where is Liu Fangfang?" Shi Yi nodded without comment, his eyes slowly swept through the dark store. The business area of nearly 200 square meters was placed in the store in an orderly manner. After entering the door, the same consultation desk was placed there, but there was only a girl guarding the entire store.
"Shop Manager Liu..." The girl bit her lip: "Run away."
"Running?" Shi Yi opened his eyes wide: "Where can she run?"
"I don't know..." The girl lowered her head slightly and shook her gently: "Mr. Liu ran away with the sales in the store yesterday afternoon. She...she wants to give me money..."
"The others also took the money and ran away?" Shi Yi's face became a little gloomy, but at this time, he could not be overwhelmed by the anger. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you know where the fake cosmetics on sale in the store were brought by Liu Fangfang? Or do you know the sales channels?"
"I don't know." The girl asked questions but didn't know, lowered her head, and her voice was a little timid: "But I remember that a few days ago, a fat woman came to the store to find Manager Liu, and the next day, Manager Liu brought a truck of goods..."
"Fat woman." Shi Yi was very troubled and asked, "Do you remember your approximate appearance?"
"I heard that the accent is a local." The girl thought carefully: "There is a mole on the corner of her mouth on her right, with curly hair, about 1.6 meters tall. Well, she looks very rich..."
"...You close the store door and go back to rest first." The girl's description made Shi Yi somewhat impressed. He took a deep breath, and after a few words of advice, he took a bottle of cleanser on the counter and asked the girl: "This bottle is also fake, right?"
"Well... the shelves in the store are all fake..." the girl nodded.
"Closing the door quickly." Shi Yi took a bottle of cleanser and turned his head to look at the female reporters and consumers who were still there silently, and sighed.
"Yes." The girl nodded gently and nodded again.
At 7:30 pm, Zhejiang Satellite TV played a video of the interview at the No. 107 store this afternoon, and then played a press conference specially held by Anhua Cosmetics on the matter, mainly announcing six news. First, all the chain stores in Anhua were temporarily closed for inspection to ensure that the incident in No. 107 store on Moganshan Road, Hangzhou will not happen again.
Second, it was announced that from now on, as long as someone finds stores selling counterfeit cosmetics, mobile vendors and other terminal sellers on the market, they will notify Anhua Cosmetics Headquarters as soon as possible. After confirming that it is true, they will receive a bonus of RMB 500 and announce the reporting hotline.
Third, from now on, all authentic cosmetics in Anhua will attach authentic logos to the cosmetic packaging. Consumers can dial the Anhua cosmetics query phone number through the logo mark inside and the code on the logo to encode authenticity.
