Yang Xiaoyang said that the packaging of the self-operated kumquat products sold by Dongfang Selection is marked as "big fruit", but the actual product is 15g-20g "medium fruit", and the behavior of reducing the specifications and shipping is to treat consumers as fools.
At the same time, Dongfang selected and publicized the product from Rong'an County, Liuzhou, Guangxi, but what was sold was "crispy kumquat" that was not available in Rong'an County, and the name of the variety was wrong, which was suspected of false publicity.

In addition, Yang Xiaoyang also said that Dongfang Selection lowered the price of kumquat "big fruit", which is an opportunistic act of capital, "after cutting in this place, cut in another place", which is easy to cause the phenomenon of cheap fruit and hurting farmers.
On December 26, in response to this matter, the relevant departments of Rong'an County, Guangxi Province responded to Jiupai Finance and Economics: "We have paid attention to this matter. There is an inappropriate practice when Dongfang selects and sells Rong'an kumquats, crispy kumquats are indeed from Guilin, we do not have the name of this variety in Rong'an County, and the fruits selected by Dongfang in the video look smaller. ”

As for Yang Xiaoyang's claim that his support unit is the relevant department of Rong'an County, the above-mentioned staff member said: "Fruit hunter Yang Xiaoyang is the spokesperson of Rong'an kumquat image, and the relevant publicity is his personal behavior." Dongfang Selection is also doing publicity for us, and Yang Xiaoyang has no problem pointing out the inappropriateness. ”
At the same time, Jiupai financial reporters contacted Dongfang Selection for this matter, but did not receive a response as of press time.
