Save the Bachelor of Heaven

As for the proliferation of counterfeit and shoddy products in Yiwu, to be honest, Xiang Nan doesn't have a completely and effective way to eradicate it.

Because there is a natural consumer market for fake goods, it does not matter whether it is domestic or foreign, whether it is ancient or modern, there is no difference.

Counterfeit and shoddy products have been very popular in ancient times.

Ji Xiaolan recorded many fake and shoddy products on the market in "Yuewei Caotang Notes".

For example, crows are covered with mud and sold as roast chicken; kraft paper is brushed with ink and sold as cowhide boots; mud is wrapped with a layer of wax and sold as candles... Even a talented person like him was fooled due to a moment of negligence.

Counterfeit goods are also rampant abroad, ranging from brand-name bags, shoes, clothing, watches, to food, department stores, and cosmetics.

Marx said that capitalists will take desperate risks if they have 50% profit, they will dare to trample all laws in the world if they have 100% profit, and they will risk hanging on the gallows if they have 300% profit.

The profit margins on counterfeit and shoddy products are extremely high. For example, genuine coconut shoes cost close to 2,000 yuan; while online imitations of the same model sell for less than 100 yuan. An authentic Hermès Birkin bag costs hundreds of thousands per piece. Counterfeit products of the same model cost a few thousand yuan at most.

Therefore, even if all efforts are made to crack down on counterfeiting, counterfeiting is still like a weed, growing again with the spring breeze.

…

Moreover, the main reason why counterfeiting is rampant is that there is a huge market for these fakes. Not only the bottom consumers like to buy fakes, but even wealthy people like to buy fakes.

The Cut magazine in the United States once exposed a community forum for high-counterfeit goods enthusiasts called RepLadies. In this community with more than 200,000 members, there are wealthy entrepreneurs and venture capitalists everywhere. Statistics show that they spend more than $3 million a year on imitation products.

After the hit American reality show "The Housewives of Beverly Hills" aired, eagle-eyed viewers discovered that many of the luxury goods worn by "The Housewives of Beverly Hills" were suspected to be high imitations.

Even two years ago, top international singer Celine Dion went to Shanghai to hold a concert, during which she went to a store and bought several bags of high-quality imitation goods.

The reason why so many people are keen on buying fakes is because fakes are more cost-effective.

Poor people buy fake luxury goods to give themselves an illusory feeling of joining the upper class; rich people buy fake goods because no one dares to say anything even if they use fake goods.

Especially the middle class, the reasons why they are keen on buying imitations are even more bizarre. They believe that buying imitations symbolizes their ability to hedge risks wisely in the face of the current bad economic situation.

In this situation where there is buying and selling, if you want to sweep away fakes, it cannot be done by one or two people in a short time. In fact, even in a few decades, counterfeit and shoddy goods will still not be eradicated.

…

But now, this trend of proliferation of counterfeit and shoddy products must be combated and curbed. Otherwise, the reputation of Yiwu Small Commodity Market will be completely ruined, and the credibility accumulated by Yiwu merchants for hundreds of years will also disappear.

You know, the reason why the Yiwu Sugar Gang traveled all over the world was because the goods were genuine, so no matter where they went to do business, they were welcomed by the people.

But now, Yiwu has become synonymous with "fake and shoddy", and people are reluctant to buy products that come from Yiwu. The Yiwu Small Commodity brand is now in bad taste. If we don't scrape the bones and cure the poison in time, Yiwu will completely decline.

So Xiang Nan went to Qiu Yingjie to discuss the matter.

Xiang Nan was shocked when he saw his face. He saw that Qiu Yingjie's face was pale and his lips were dark. It was obvious that his body was not as good as before.

"Brother Yingjie, how did you do this? Didn't I ask you to pay more attention to rest? Why are you still tormenting yourself like this?" Xiang Nan couldn't help but said excitedly.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm just busy dealing with triangular debts and counterfeit goods these days, so I feel a little sleepless." Qiu Yingjie waved his hands and smiled, "How come you are here? Is it also because of these two things? "

Xiang Nan nodded.

"Don't worry about these two things. We are also working on a solution now." Qiu Yingjie said, "Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing. As long as everyone works together, no problem will be difficult."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I believe that your current state does not look like you haven't slept for a few days. Please show me your hand to check your pulse."

"No, no, no, I just lack sleep. I will take a good rest after finishing these two things." Qiu Yingjie waved his hand.

"Oh, just bring it over." Xiang Nan grabbed his hand and felt for his pulse. Sure enough, it was still liver cancer.

Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but sigh.

In 1992, when he came back to invest, he helped Qiu Yingjie see a doctor. Although he was physically weak at the time, he would recover soon as long as he had good rest and nourishment.

But he couldn't let go of work and couldn't rest. As a result, I am now really tired and sick. Liver cancer is not an easy disease to cure, and once you get it, you are almost certain to die.

"You are so ill and you still refuse to tell me the truth." Xiang Nan sighed, "Liver cancer, late stage, right?"

"Can you tell?" Qiu Yingjie said with a surprised look on his face.

"Alas." Xiang Nan sighed, why do good people not live long? Now that the cancer cells have spread, even if he wants to save them, it will take a lot of effort.

"I've told you before that your body is the capital of your work. I want you to take care of your body, but you just refuse." Xiang Nan sighed, "It's not easy to cure now."

"It's okay, I'm mentally prepared." Qiu Yingjie waved his hand and said with a smile, "Everyone will die sooner or later, as long as he dies well.

Before I die, I want to help the folks in Yiwu do a few more practical things. That way, I can die with peace of mind. "

"Don't worry, with me here, it will be difficult for you to die." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Isn't it just liver cancer? I can cure it."

"Can you cure it?" Qiu Yingjie asked in surprise.

As far as he knew, there was no cure for this disease, not to mention that he was now in an advanced stage, the cancer cells had spread, and even the doctors at the hospital had given up.

"What, you don't believe me?" Xiang Nan laughed.

"No, I just don't want you to bother." Qiu Yingjie waved his hand.

He has made psychological preparations. He no longer cares about life or death. He is just afraid that Xiang Nanbai will be busy and end up feeling sad.

"Why can't a good person like you live a long life?" Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh again after hearing what he said, "Don't worry, God knows you are so good, so he won't accept you easily. You should too If you survive, you can at least watch the folks in Yiwu become well-off."

"I also hope that this day can come soon." Qiu Yingjie nodded, "Okay, let's not talk about my illness, let's talk about things."
