Today's TVs can be described as diverse,Not only are there many brands,There are many sales channels,More importantly, there are more fakes。
When it comes to fakes, you may think that you can only buy fakes through virtual transactions like the Internet, after all, you can see and touch them in physical stores, and you basically can't buy fakes.
But for non-professionals, even if you go to a physical store, if you don't have strong technical skills, you may also buy fakes, and sometimes such fakes are even brought into the pit by acquaintances.
Recently, the manager of a hotel in Daxing District, Beijing, reported to the police that their hotel spent 248,000 yuan to buy 160 Xiaomi TVs, which were introduced by acquaintances and purchased in physical stores, and the purchase price of each TV was 1550 yuan.
But at the beginning of this batch of TVs there were problems one after another,Sometimes there can be up to five or six problems a day at the same time,After the problem was found,The hotel also contacted the seller in time,At the beginning, the seller also gave them more than a dozen,But then with more and more TVs with problems,The hotel has been unable to contact the business when it contacts the business again。
So the hotel found Xiaomi's official customer service for consultation,It turned out that each code of this batch of TVs is the same,This is obviously different from regular TV,It was not until this time that the hotel realized that it had been deceived,So they chose to call the police。
After receiving feedback,It also cooperated with the police for the first time to identify the products involved in the case one by one in this hotel,The final conclusion is that these TVs are all fakes,Finally, the police also officially filed a case for investigation,At present, compulsory measures have been taken against the suspect。
Seeing this, netizens feel that this hotel is really big,160TV,This is not a small number,Under normal circumstances,This kind of large-scale purchasing merchants will generally directly find TV manufacturers to buy,In this way, there may be some discounts。
However, this hotel is gullible to acquaintances, and after acquaintances introduced them to the local physical store to buy, they may think that buying through the physical store basically will not buy fakes, but they never thought that all 160 TVs are counterfeit.
So where do these fake TVs come from, and why are they able to sell them in physical stores under the guise of the Xiaomi brand?
In response to this problem, the police have not yet reported the results, so we don't know where the source of the fake goods comes from, and there are several guessing directions among netizens.
One is that these TVs are produced by small workshops on an OEM basis.
Nowadays, TVs are mixed, and there may be some OEM counterfeit products in both online and offline physical stores.
Some small workshops do not have formal business qualifications,But they can buy TV parts through various channels,And then paste the major TV brands,It becomes a brand TV。
It's just that these small workshops are very clumsy in the process of counterfeiting, and in order to save costs, they even use the same number.
There is also a speculation that these TVs have some professional counterfeiting companies that produce them.
Now there are some professional counterfeiting companies in many places, and the parts purchased by these companies may be the same as the channels purchased by the brand, but they do not have a brand premium, so the price is relatively low, but they do not have strict quality control in the assembly process, so the frequency of failures will be a lot.
But no matter which way it is, there is still a lot of gap between fake TVs and genuine products sold through regular channels.
These fake TVs are almost no different from the genuine products in terms of appearance,But there is still a big gap between them and regular products in terms of workmanship details and picture quality。
Didn't we find out about these problems when we bought this hotel?
But there is a great possibility that the manager of this hotel is greedy for cheap when he purchases this batch of TVs, which may be to save costs for the hotel, and there is also a possibility to get rebates.
The gap between the price of this counterfeit TV and the official genuine product must be relatively large,Judging from the contract they signed,The price of a single TV is1550element,But the actual transaction price may be lower than this price,If the hotel manager reports according to the contract price,The extra price difference can be taken as your own。
Of course, what the truth is, I believe the police will soon announce the answer.
Here's a suggestion for everyone,Don't believe all kinds of crooked ways when buying TV and other household appliances,Don't easily believe in the so-called acquaintance introduction,If you want to buy genuine products, you have to go to the official flagship store or physical store to buy,In this way, you can avoid being pitted。
