Due to the fact that the claimed efficacy of its Tinghua Liquor has not been scientifically proven, Chengdu Tinghua Shengshi Trading Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Qinghai Spring, recently received an administrative penalty notice from the Market Supervision Bureau of Wuhou District, Chengdu, and the company violated the Anti-Unfair Competition Law and was fined 1.8 million yuan by the regulatory department.

Qinghai Spring said that for the fact of this punishment, "the scientifically inconclusive views and unverified user evaluations in the efficacy of 'Tinghua' liquor are used for the product promotion of 'Tinghua' liquor as a misleading propaganda behavior", the company and its subsidiaries and all Tinghua liquor distributors will earnestly learn lessons, standardize the words and deeds of sales personnel, and prevent the recurrence of such propaganda behavior.

The store opened by Tinghua Shengshi will resume business in the near future, which means that the punishment is over, and Tinghua Wine is "alive" again.

Recently, IKEA China announced that in-store meals will be discounted every Friday, and the event will last until the end of April. The discount includes cones, special flavors and other meals, priced at 1 yuan, 3 yuan and 9.99 yuan, respectively. According to the analysis, IKEA's move is intended to create a comprehensive consumer experience space integrating shopping, catering and entertainment, so as to attract more consumers to come to offline catering services. The move is not limited to China, for example, in Canada, where IKEA recently announced that a 50% off dining campaign will take place every Thursday until August 29. IKEA's Crazy Thursday campaign has also been around for many years, with members receiving $1 (regular price of $6.99) for Swedish meatballs at restaurants every Thursday – equivalent to a 14.3% discount. -END-AUTHOR | Produced by Xiaobei | Catering O2O
