Incident 1: "Smoke cavity" milk tea rubbed Lu Xun's traffic, and Lu Xun's family sent a lawyer's letter to Lele Tea
On April 23, Lele Tea and Yilin Publishing House cooperated to launch a joint activity, which included the image of Mr. Lu Xun and the words "Old Smoke Cavity New Youth". The order page of Lele Tea's mini program also emphasizes Mr. Lu Xun's avatar. At the same time, the packaging of the relevant cups is also printed with the image of Mr. Lu Xun.
As soon as this product was launched, it triggered a rush to buy, and it is said that on the 27th, the "smoke cavity oolong" cup and related peripherals were sold out.
However, this event also caused a lot of controversy, and the term "smoke cavity oolong" was accused of being disrespectful to Lu Xun. Hu Baotan, the author of the Shanghainese novel "Alley", said that the term "old smoke" is sometimes derogatory in Shanghai's daily life. The use of Lu Xun and his image is reminiscent of the "old smoke cavity", which is contrary to the spirit that the "new youth" should inherit.
Linguist Dindimon believes that the "old smoke chamber" has been changed to "smoke chamber", which is slightly ironic, and appropriate humor is fine, but it is not appropriate to promote it in public with celebrities as endorsements.
Critic He Zhenhua also criticized the title of the joint event, "World Book Day, Tribute to Lu Xun Literature", which he considered disrespectful to Mr. Big.
In this regard, Lu Xun's eldest grandson, Zhou Lingfei, sent a lawyer's letter to Lelecha and Jiangsu Yilin, pointing out that the co-branded products infringed on Lu Xun's portrait rights and personality interests. It is hoped that they will immediately stop the infringement and make a public apology.
Incident 2: ByteDance reported internal anti-corruption: 61 people were dismissed and 4 people were filed on suspicion of criminal offenses
Recently, ByteDance issued an internal anti-corruption report and fired 61 employees, four of whom were filed on suspicion of criminal offenses. The relevant person in charge of the company has confirmed the authenticity of this news.
ByteDance's Discipline and Ethics Committee reportedly notified the 61 cases of employee violations of discipline and all employees involved were dismissed. Among them, a Douyin employee took advantage of his position to illegally accept huge benefits from external partners, and was filed and criminally detained by the public security organs on January 26. In this regard, the company cancelled the employee's option and year-end bonus qualifications.
In addition, 24 employees took advantage of their positions to provide assistance to outsiders and accept benefits, as well as submitting false documents for reimbursement, illegally taking taxis, and receiving housing subsidies. These employees were dismissed by the company for violating the company's policies, including the ByteDance Employee Code of Conduct and the Employee Handbook, and were punished by canceling options and ordering them to return their illegal income depending on the circumstances. The author believes that this incident once again reminds us that we must strengthen discipline and ethics within the enterprise, put an end to violations, and ensure the normal operation and development of the company.
Incident 3: Crazy Career Claims: Someone claimed compensation from 1,372 restaurants for "shooting cucumbers without a license" within a year
It is understood that the number of professional claims complaints in Shanghai last year was as high as 246,000, of which nearly 8,000 people complained more than 10 times in a year. Shockingly, some people have filed high claims against 1,372 restaurants on the grounds of "auctioning cucumbers without a license".
On April 28, the Shanghai Municipal Commission for the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests held a lecture on "Boosting Consumption and Safeguarding Rights and Interests", inviting representatives from all walks of life to discuss the impact of occupational claims on consumer confidence and business environment.
Hu Hao said that the number of professional claims is increasing, and the phenomenon is becoming more and more gang-based and chain-based. Seven suggestions were put forward, including distinguishing between for-profit claims and regulating punitive damages.
Xie Zhenghao introduced the data analysis of the market supervision department's professional claim report, which showed that advertising violations and unfair competition behaviors were at the top. In addition, typical cases include the use of false claims to obtain improper benefits.
During the roundtable discussion, business representatives shared their claims troubles, representatives of the Municipal People's Congress put forward legislative suggestions, and the Municipal Bureau of Justice made suggestions on the implementation of laws and regulations. The Consumer Rights Protection Commission noted that professional claims have a serious impact on businesses and economic development, and called for the establishment of an effective mechanism to curb professional claims.
In general, although the legal system is well-established, the phenomenon of professional claims still exists. Attention should be paid to distinguishing between compliance defects and malicious claims to ensure the healthy development of consumer confidence and business environment.
Event 4: No injections, no medicine, no surgery, 7 days to remove myopia glasses?
Recently, a reporter from CCTV's "Financial Investigation" found that a chain agency claimed that it could improve vision through special massage, smearing and instruments, and claimed that it could remove glasses without medical surgery.
The agency, called ME Optometry and Vision Enhancement Center, claims to have helped more than 30,000 myopic patients remove their glasses in more than 1,600 stores across the country. However, the reporter revealed that these institutions do not have medical qualifications, and even none of the thousands of stores have legal medical qualifications.
Employees say they have three "magic weapons": dredging meridians, regulating the eyes, and supplementing nutrition. But in fact, the products used are not medical devices, and some are even ordinary cosmetics. Experts show that there is currently no real way to reverse myopia. Some consumers also said that their vision did not really improve after the experience.
These chains are expanding and are clearly involved in false advertising violations. The State Administration for Market Regulation has announced that it will investigate and deal with false advertisements to protect the rights and interests of consumers. These wrongful practices not only mislead consumers, but also have a negative socio-economic impact. Therefore, consumers should be cautious when choosing vision correction services and ensure that they choose a legitimate, reputable facility.
Incident 5: The May Day "expiring" air ticket suddenly "plunged"! Many netizens shouted that they had lost money
The May Day holiday is coming, but the price of air tickets has fallen sharply at the last moment, why is this? According to the statistics of the flight regular, there were 151612 flights during the May Day holiday this year, an increase of 8.99 percent over the same period last year, and it is expected to become the busiest May Day holiday in history. At the same time, the average price of economy class tickets in the past seven days fell by 22%, showing a trend of temporary price adjustments. In this case, many netizens lamented that they suffered a loss when buying air tickets.
According to the analysis of industry insiders, this phenomenon of "busy and price reduction" is not a contradiction, but is affected by multiple factors. Airlines ramped up flights ahead of the holidays, resulting in oversupply, so there are still unsold seats in the run-up to the holidays, and prices are temporarily adjusted for promotion. In addition, the diversion of civil aviation passenger flow by high-speed rail has also affected the sales of aircraft seats, resulting in the need for price adjustment.
In addition, this year's May Day holiday railway is expected to send more than 27 million passengers, a record high, and it is expected that the number of passengers sent on May 1 will exceed the record of the Qingming holiday. Tourists are mainly pure tourists, which has led to a decline in air tickets and hotel prices in popular tourist cities. With the recovery of the supply chain and the strengthening of market supervision, the travel market environment is healthier, which also affects the movement of air ticket prices.
Therefore, for tourists who have not yet decided on their May Day travel plans, now may be a good time to "pick up the missing tour". When choosing air tickets, consumers should be vigilant to ensure that they choose a qualified airline, and at the same time, they should also try to avoid buying tickets when the price fluctuates greatly, so as to avoid unnecessary losses caused by inflated prices. During the trip, you should also pay attention to safety and reasonable itinerary to ensure a pleasant travel experience.
Event 6: Chongqing Gas: A total of 1,182 cases of overcharging and overcharging gas fees were found to have been fully cleared for problematic charges
Since April 2024, there has been a "skyrocketing gas bill" incident in Chongqing, and many citizens have reported that the cost has increased significantly after replacing the new gas meter, and even the cost in some months is 2-3 times higher than in the past. A similar situation occurred in Chengdu, where one owner reported that the bill was as high as more than 17,000 yuan after the meter change, while other owners in the room also encountered frequent arrears and skyrocketing fees. Ms. Fan's family paid 15,000 yuan in gas bills within four months, which the gas company said was caused by a malfunction of the gas meter transmitter.
Within Sichuan Province, netizens left messages pointing out that there was an abnormal increase in costs after citizens in many places replaced gas meters, including Chengdu, Ziyang, Mianyang and other places. The Chengdu 12345 hotline received 1,996 complaints about gas problems, indicating that citizens questioned gas metering, charging and other issues. Chongqing reported that the investigation results showed that the gas company had problems such as illegal estimation and confusion in the billing cycle, and promised to refund the overcharged fees in full.
Although some residents questioned the "effective gas concentration of gas" and the quality of gas meters, the survey results showed that the smart gas meters did not have remote control and no gas addition was found. In order to solve the problem of overcharging and overcharging, Chongqing Gas has cleared the overbilling expenses involving 2,858,545.83 yuan, and the company has further rectified the problem of non-standard metering and charging to improve service quality.
In Chengdu, the joint working group confirmed that gas companies had problems such as illegal estimation and irregular billing, and 1,189 complaints had been accepted and were being processed. In view of the situation that a user owes 17,290 yuan, the investigation confirmed that there is a problem in the data acquisition system, resulting in a difference in measurement. The results of the investigation in Chongqing and Chengdu showed that there was no remote control of gas meters or gas addition.
Proverb of the Day:
"Compassion is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, love is not in charge, and goodness is not an official. ”
"Compassion does not lead the army" means that people who are too benevolent are not suitable to lead an army, as this may prevent them from making decisive decisions on the battlefield;
"Righteousness does not control money" indicates that people who attach too much importance to righteousness are not suitable for managing their finances, as it may lead to financial losses;
"Lack of emotion" means that if a person is too emotional and lacks rational thinking, it will be difficult to succeed in the work;
On the other hand, "being good is not an official" says that people who are too kind may not be able to survive in officialdom, because officialdom may be full of deceit and deceit, which requires a certain amount of political skill and strategy.
Taken together, these perspectives emphasize the need to demonstrate the right emotions and principles at the right time in different professions and fields to achieve the best results and results.
