Chapter 241 This is unfair competition

"Great. A total of 831 companies have accepted the software we gave away. If a company has 100 engineers, it is equivalent to 83,000 engineers using Tuo CAD. What is the proportion of engineers in China? ?”

"I'm checking the data..."

"Let's check again what the output value of these 831 companies is and what proportion it accounts for in the output value of national industrial enterprises."

"Does this work?"

"Of course it works. This is our achievement!"

"All right……"

In the marketing department of Tuo's China office, Wang Danhui was proudly giving instructions to her subordinate Sun Jie. After nearly two weeks of hard work by the two of them, the gift of 2,000 sets of genuine Tuao CAD has been completed. Wang Danhui signed agreements with each of the ministries and commissions that accepted the gifts, and then provided the software CDs and genuine serial numbers to these ministries and commissions. This was considered as completing the donation work.

Afterwards, Sun Jie was busy for another week, calling various ministries and commissions one by one to ask which companies the software had been given to. Some ministries and commissions were more serious about their work. They compiled a list of companies that received gifts and faxed it to Sun Jie. Some ministries and commissions simply copied the list of subordinate companies and claimed that these companies had received the software.

Sun Jie took a quick look and found that the number of companies in the lists sent by several ministries and commissions was more than the software she sent out. She called again to confirm, but received an impatient perfunctory response from the other party. Among them, some specific business departments are not enthusiastic about Tuao's gift of software. On the surface, they have promised well, but in fact they are too lazy to bother. Whether it's genuine or pirated, if the companies below want to use it, they can always find a way. Is it necessary for the higher-level departments to make unnecessary efforts?

Wang Danhui also knew about this situation, but she still asked Sun Jie to include those doubtful companies in the donation list, and finally came up with 831 companies. Wang Danhui has already thought about it. She will make a very beautiful report, attach the list of these 831 companies to the back, and then send it to the US headquarters by email to prove her work performance.

To write a report, data is naturally indispensable. Various proportions, value assessments, etc. are all things Wang Danhui is very good at. She is able to produce some very pleasing diagrams, which is one of the reasons why she is in her current position.

"Mr. Wang, someone is looking for you."

The little secretary at the front desk called and reported to Wang Danhui.

"Who is he?" Wang Danhui asked.

"They said it was from the Capital Industrial and Commercial Bureau." the secretary replied.

"Industrial and Commercial Bureau?" Wang Danhui was stunned, "What are they looking for me for?"

"They didn't say anything, they just said they wanted to see the head of the company's marketing department."

"Then... let them in."

The little secretary agreed and hung up the phone. After a while, three staff members wearing uniforms and large caps walked into Wang Danhui's office. Wang Danhui came forward. After confirming Wang Danhui's identity, one of them introduced himself: "Director Wang, hello, I am the deputy director of the Market Supervision and Management Office of the Beijing Industrial and Commercial Bureau. My name is Jin Debiao."

"Oh, it's Director Jin. I'm sorry, please sit down."

Wang Danhui said disrespectful, but the expression on her face was indifferent, without any respect. She nodded to the other party, stretched out her hand to signal them to sit down on the sofa, and then sat back behind the desk, looking at the three of them calmly, waiting for the other party to speak.

Sun Jie was intent on pouring a glass of water for the three guests, but when she asked Wang Danhui for instructions from the corner of her eye, she did not get a response from Wang Danhui, so she did not dare to make the decision without permission. She could only pull up a chair and sit next to watch. With.

Jin Debiao felt Wang Danhui's coldness and knew that she was deliberately setting the record of a multinational company in front of him. He smiled slightly, took out a paper clip from his briefcase, held it in his hand, and said to Wang Danhui:

"Director Wang, we are here today because we received a report from a company, accusing the Chinese office of Tuao Company of using unfair competition methods of malicious dumping in market operations and infringing on their legitimate interests. I would like to ask Director Wang Give me an explanation for this."

"What, malicious dumping?" Wang Danhui frowned, "They accused us of malicious dumping. Do you have any evidence?"

"Yes." Jin Debiao said. He opened the folder in his hand, looked at the materials inside and said, "The company said that Tuao Company's China office has provided information to no less than 500 industrial enterprises across the country in the past three weeks. Free software, with a quantity of no less than 1,200 sets and a value of more than 15 million yuan. Is this true?"

"It's true... but not entirely true." Wang Danhui said hesitantly. She said it was true because Tuao Company did give away the software. As for the fact that it is not completely true, it is because the software she gave away was 2,000 sets, not 1,200 sets.

"Director Wang, what is it that you said is not completely true?" Jin Debiao asked.

"In terms of quantity,...it's more than what you just said, a total of 2,000 sets." Wang Danhui said. She didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, so she still needed to clarify the numbers. If there were any problems in the future, and people used numbers to make matters worse and accused her of concealing the truth, she would be a little passive.

"Xiao Zhang, please record it. The total number of software provided by Tuao Company is 2,000 sets." Jin Debiao ordered a subordinate he brought with him, and then asked Wang Danhui: "So, what is the corresponding amount?"

"There is no issue with the amount, we give it away for free." Wang Danhui said.

"The accounts cannot be calculated like this. Free products also have market value, which can be calculated based on the actual sales price of these products in the market." Jin Debiao said.

"However, it is not illegal for us to give away genuine software to enterprises for free. This is a very normal corporate public relations behavior." Wang Danhui said.

"An enterprise's public relations behavior also has limits. Public relations behavior that exceeds a certain limit may be an act of unfair competition." Xiao Zhang said before, "Director Wang, according to our investigation, Tuao Company's behavior this time The sales price of Tuao CAD software presented to enterprises in the Chinese market is 12,800 yuan per set. According to the total number of 2,000 sets given away as Director Wang just said, the total value of the products given away is 25.6 million yuan. Is this true? "

"So what? We are not selling, but giving away, so it is not dumping." Wang Danhui said coldly.

"Whether it is dumping depends on your motives and consequences." Xiao Zhang said, "Article 11 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that operators shall not sell products below cost for the purpose of squeezing out competitors." Selling goods at a reasonable price. Violation of this article constitutes dumping prohibited by the Anti-Unfair Competition Law.

"Tuao Company presented 2,000 sets of software to users at one time, worth 25.6 million yuan, which far exceeded the company's normal public relations needs, and subjectively had the purpose of squeezing out competitors. Among the companies that accepted Tuao Company's software gifts, at least 285 companies originally ordered Huaxia CAD software produced by New Jingwei Company. However, because they received free software, these companies requested returns from New Jingwei Company, which objectively constituted an infringement on the interests of competitors.

"New Jingwei Company believes that although some other companies have not ordered Huaxia CAD in advance, they may still become potential users of Huaxia CAD. Due to Tuao Company's free gift behavior, these companies no longer consider purchasing Huaxia CAD, and New Jingwei Company therefore Also suffered losses.

"New Jingwei Company requires our bureau to immediately stop Tuao Company's unfair competition, eliminate the impact, and compensate New Jingwei Company for its losses."

"What, you want us to compensate for the damage? What a joke!" Wang Danhui meowed like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

This time it was Jin Debiao's turn to sink his face. He said: "Director Wang, please take this matter seriously. Today we are going to investigate the situation first. Now that the situation has been investigated clearly, Tuao Company has given away a total of 2,000 sets to users. Software, the amount involved is as high as 25.6 million yuan.

"Now I will inform you verbally that Tuao Company must immediately correct this unfair competition behavior and make a written report to the Beijing Industrial and Commercial Bureau on the correction. The Beijing Industrial and Commercial Bureau will make a formal administrative decision on Tuao Company's correction. Processing decisions.”

Wang Danhui felt really unsure. She forced herself to calm down and asked Jin Debiao: "Do you have any basis for doing this?"

Jin Debiao said: "The oral notification I just made is based on the relevant provisions of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of the People's Republic of China. The reason why I adopted the oral notification method is to give Tuao Company an opportunity to correct its mistakes. If Tuao Company can be in time If we correct the wrong behavior and obtain the understanding of the reporting party, New Jingwei Company, we do not have to deal with it. If Director Wang refuses to accept our request, then we can issue a formal decision to deal with it, and then there will be no room for maneuver."

"we are not……"

Wang Danhui still wanted to argue, but Sun Jie couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up quickly, interrupted Wang Danhui's words, and said to Jin Debiao: "Director Jin, don't worry, this matter is a bit sudden. Please give us some time to report to the headquarters." Please give me some advice. In fact, our gift of software to enterprises is entirely for the purpose of supporting China's modernization construction and has no motive to exclude competitors..."

"Really?" the little Zhang from before asked with a grin on his face.

Sun Jie bit the bullet and said: "Comrade Zhang, there may be a misunderstanding about this matter. We may have thought poorly and inadvertently damaged the interests of our colleagues. Director Jin, Comrade Zhang, do you think this is okay? Give us two days." Time, let’s understand the specific situation and then decide how to remedy it?”

Jin Debiao nodded and said: "That's okay. Considering that Tuao Company is a foreign-funded enterprise, we have given you special care. You should understand. Let's give you two days to investigate the relevant situation, and at the same time, we will also report to you. Please ask your headquarters for instructions. However, correcting wrong practices cannot be discounted.

"After two days, please take the initiative to report the results to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. If we cannot effectively eliminate the impact and make up for the losses caused to our peers, we will issue a high fine to Tuao Company."
