Chapter 287 Liar Street
"The country is poor, so large industries can only give priority to the layout of large cities or third-tier regions. Our Jinnan area is located on the front line of coastal defense, and the transportation conditions are not very ideal, so when the country is planning heavy industry, it did not consider Jinnan."
Feng Xiaochen explained briefly. He knew this truth, Zhang Fulin, Wang Jianfeng and others also understood it. The reason why he complained in front of him was just a habitual complaint so that he could win some benefits in the future. This is also the norm for local officials to face superior leaders.
Sure enough, when he heard Feng Xiaochen's explanation, Zhang Fulin and Wang Jianfeng nodded. Just as they were about to say something, Feng Xiaochen changed the subject and said, "Secretary Zhang, County Magistrate Wang, I was actually quite shocked when I came to Shiyang this time. I heard that some township enterprises in Shiyang County can imitate bearing products in the European market, and their performance is almost the same. This is a very amazing achievement."
"This..." Zhang Fulin looked at Wang Jianfeng, hesitating, not knowing whether Feng Xiaochen's words were praise or sarcasm.
"Director Feng, what you said...is there is indeed this...well, sometimes it is also because of the needs of customers..." Wang Jianfeng stammered.
Feng Xiaochen heard something in the other party's words, and couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "What, County Magistrate Wang, is there anything wrong with this?"
"Director Feng, you really didn't hear any rumors?" Zhang Fulin saw some clues and asked Feng Xiaochen tentatively.
Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "I have really heard of anything. I have been on business trips some time ago, but this time I went to Jinnan to do some business. I just heard from Mr. Yao about small businesses like Jinnan. Is there anything else?"
"Oh, this matter...it's a shameful thing to say." Wang Jianfeng sighed and began to introduce Feng Xiaochen.
It turns out that this bearing street in Shiyang is also mixed with good and bad sides. After Shiyang became famous as a national bearing distribution center, some illegal businessmen had bad intentions and began to use some counterfeit and inferior bearing products to make profits.
There are a large number of bearing processing enterprises distributed in various townships in Shiyang. Some of them do pay attention to honest operation, and the quality of the bearing products produced is still acceptable. Even imitating imported bearings is mainly to fill the domestic gap and save foreign exchange for domestic users. Other companies are different. They save as much as possible in selecting materials, choosing processes, etc., and push the cost to the limit. The products produced are not accurate at all. They rely entirely on deceiving the eyes of the purchaser or bribing the purchaser to sell, so there are more and more quality disputes. In China, some companies have even called the Jinnan area a fraud area, such as the bearing street in Shiyang, and sometimes they are called the fraud street.
Zhang Fulin, Wang Jianfeng and others went to other places to have a meeting. At first, they heard praises, but later the taste changed a little. Some familiar colleagues even bluntly asked them to manage the unscrupulous businessmen well and not let them harm others anymore.
Because of such criticism, when Feng Xiaochen mentioned imitating European bearings, the two Shi Yang's parents were a little embarrassed and thought that Feng Xiaochen was here to raise an army to question him.
"So that's it." Feng Xiaochen nodded. He remembered some things from later generations and said, "Secretary Zhang, County Magistrate Wang, I really don't know much about this situation. If this is true, I think our Shiyang County, or the entire Jinnan area, should pay attention to it. False and shoddy goods will ruin the reputation of a region and drag down those honest enterprises. It takes a lot of time to establish a brand, and it only takes one thing to ruin a brand. We, Shiyang, started our business with bearings, and the Shiyang brand must not be corrupted by those fake and shoddy products."
Zhang Fulin quickly responded: "Director Feng is right. Our county party committee and county government have been cracking down on these counterfeit and inferior products, and they are not allowed to corrupt our Shiyang's reputation."
"Is that true?" Feng Xiaochen forced to prove to Yao Wei.
"Secretary Zhang and County Mayor Wang are indeed working very hard." Yao Weiqiang gave an answer, but the meaning revealed in his words was intriguing.
Wang Jianfeng also heard what Yao Weiqiang meant. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Yao is criticizing us. Oh, this matter is not easy. You say that their products are counterfeit and inferior products. What evidence is there? The quality of bearings in our country is uneven, so customers may not use such good bearings. You say that these stores use inferior products as good ones, and others say that they use inferior products as good ones, what do you do?"
"But people use our Feiluo company brand, can you always deal with this matter?" Yao Weiqiang choked. Obviously, this was also something he had negotiated with the county. Taking advantage of Feng Xiaochen's opportunity to present, he raised it again. He has a high status now. Even if the book chief and county magistrate are sitting in front of him, he dared to say a word. Judging from the meaning of Zhang Fulin and Wang Jianfeng, it seems that there is no way to deal with him.
"Are you talking about the last time Feiluo bearing? They are in contact with each other, but not your Luoyang Luo, how can it be considered a false use? At best, it is just an imitation." Wang Jianfeng said.
"Is this okay?" Feng Xiaochen was so amazed and crying. He was talking about copycats with Yao Weiqiang just now. Now it seems that Shiyang's copycat industry is in full swing. There are tricks like Kang Shuaifu and Ken McGee that appeared in later generations.
"County Magistrate Wang, this is an obvious infringement of trademark rights, and our government should take care of it." Feng Xiaochen said to Wang Jianfeng.
"We know, but there is no basis." Wang Jianfeng defended.
"Why is there no basis?" Feng Xiaochen said, "Our country's trademark law has been published, which clearly stipulates that without the permission of the trademark registrant, using trademarks similar to their registered trademarks on the same product, or using trademarks that are the same or similar to their registered trademarks on similar products, which can easily lead to confusion and are trademark infringement. Feiluo Bearing is a registered trademark. If Luoyang Luo is changed into a contact network, it is a similar trademark. Why can't it be banned?"
"Trademark Law?" Wang Jianfeng looked at the director of the business sitting opposite him and nodded to him, meaning that what Feng Xiaochen said was true. Wang Jianfeng turned his head back and vomited bitterness to Feng Xiaochen again, saying, "Director Feng, this law stipulates that it is one thing. It is still difficult for us to do things below. These township enterprises are all fund-raising by farmers below. If they are fined and equipment confiscated according to the law, the lives of these farmers will be affected."
"County Magistrate Wang means that if our Shiyang farmers do not commit fraud, they will not be able to survive?" Feng Xiaochen really made a mockery this time, and suddenly choked Wang Jianfeng so much that he couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Zhang Fulin came out to save the scene and said, "Director Feng, you can't say that. In fact, we have been educating the people to operate honestly and lawfully. We think that most companies are good and those who deliberately make counterfeit and shoddy products are only a very small number. We have already warned the Filament bearings that Mr. Yao mentioned just now. If they do not make any rectifications, we will ban them next week. Director Mao, your Public Security Bureau cooperates with the Commercial Bureau to do this."
"Yes!" Public Security Bureau Director Mao Zhongyang replied loudly.
Having promised to crack down on "Filament Bearings", Zhang Fulin complained to Feng Xiaochen again: "Director Feng, we have our difficulties. In fact, many companies do not intend to fake it, but their technical level is not up to standard. They cannot make bearings better. I went down to investigate myself. The heads of some companies said that they can make inferior bearings, but they can earn a little wages from workers. If they can build good bearings, they are willing to, at least the price can be sold higher, right?"
"That's right?" Feng Xiaochen thought about it in his heart, then looked up and asked Yao Weiqiang: "Mr. Yao, what do you think about this?"
Yao Weiqiang looked around and said, "There is a solution, but the county has to make up its mind to do this. I, an ordinary person who runs his own business, don't keep my words."
"You are a member of the National People's Congress and a model of getting rich in the whole district. Secretary Chai of the Prefectural Committee personally gave you a certificate of award. If you don't want to say anything, who can say something?" Wang Jianfeng praised Yao Weiqiang.
Zhang Fulin also continued: "Mr. Yao, everyone says you are the commander-in-chief of Shiyang Bearing Industry. If you say something, it is more effective than our county party committee. If you have any good ideas, just say it in front of Director Feng. If our county cannot solve it, is there any Director Feng able to ask you for a policy from the central government?"
His words were just diverting the conflict. Before Yao Weiqiang could express his ideas, he first threw the blame on Feng Xiaochen. If Yao Weiqiang's idea was a bit unsatisfactory, he could let Feng Xiaochen make the decision. Whether it was good or bad, Feng Xiaochen would be responsible.
Feng Xiaochen couldn't hear what Zhang Fulin meant, but he didn't care. The blame Luo Xiangfei gave him was much greater than this, so he also took it down one by one? Old Zou at Honghedu was a man who killed people and a god blocked the gods. He was scolded by his own words "Shameless" and was so angry. How could a secretary and a county magistrate in Shiyang County do him?
"Old Yao, since Secretary Zhang and County Magistrate Wang encourage you to say it, then just say it. Is there any good way to solve the current chaos?" Feng Xiaochen said to Yao Weiqiang.
