On May 17, Minnan Net reported that a gas station in Baotou City installed a device for "background intervention in refueling" in the wardrobe of the employee lounge, through which they could control the refueling error value.
Using this "method", the gas station made an illegal profit of 8.63 million yuan in one year, and was finally discovered by the Municipal Supervision Bureau during a routine inspection, and the gas station was fined 2,000 yuan.
To be honest, I almost burst out laughing when I saw the last sentence. illegally profited more than 8 million yuan from the people, and as a result, you fined him 2,000 yuan...... It's not even three glasses of fine wine, it's just funny.
But what if this kind of problem happens to ordinary people? What the result will be.
Ying Yihong, a farmer in Taizhou, Zhejiang, slaughtered his pigs privately during the Chinese New Year and sold them to his neighbors at the request of his neighbors in the village, making a profit of 700 yuan. Unexpectedly, this move violated the "Regulations on the Management of Pig Slaughtering", so he was fined 50,000 yuan.
Ying Yihong, a villager who was disabled by a car accident, wanted to cry without tears, and he didn't know how to expect that he was just slaughtering a pig raised by his own family and selling it to his neighbors in the village. It's just that he made a profit of 700 yuan, and he was fined 50,000 yuan.
Fortunately, this matter has received the attention of the media and public opinion, and with legal aid, the penalty decision of 50,000 yuan was canceled and changed to a fine of 5,000 yuan.
But even if it is a fine of 5,000 yuan, it is much higher than the 2,000 yuan at the gas station. The punishment is too small and the punishment is too big to be small, and the operation of this mystery is really amazing.
More famous is that "the old man was fined 50,000 yuan for reselling celery for 14 yuan, and was later added to 100,000 yuan", Zhang from Minhou County passed by his neighbor Wang's vegetable field, and when he saw that her celery was ripe, he spent 122 yuan to take it over, took it to the market and resold it, and earned 14 yuan. As a result, the local market supervision and sampling inspection showed that the batch of celery was unqualified, and the illegal income was confiscated 14 yuan and fined 50,000 yuan.
After the incident was reported by CCTV, it attracted the attention of countless netizens, and public opinion was hot, and finally the court ruled to reject the lawsuit of the Market Supervision Bureau and sentenced Zhang not to pay the fine.
Obviously, whether it is a farmer who slaughters pigs or a farmer who sells celery, whether it is a fine of 5,000 or the abolition of the fine, all of them have gone around and around a huge process, and finally with the help of public opinion, this result is obtained.
On the other hand, gas stations are far more illegal than farmers who sell vegetables and slaughter pigs, but it is inconceivable that they only need to bear the smallest punishment from the beginning. Of course, one thing is clear, that is, if the illegal behavior of the gas station is severely punished at the beginning, then even if it is on the hot search, public opinion will not help them half a point, but will only say "the punishment is good".
But the question is, why is there such a difference? Why isn't it treated equally? I think the answer to this question, in addition to the different entities that violate the law, lies more in the Market Supervision Bureau.
Today, almost the hot search on the whole network is talking about the "Hurricane Brothers Ghost Scale", first encountered a ghost scale in the seafood wholesale market, bought a pound of shrimp was lost half a catty, and then was surrounded by merchants in the market, and even was snatched by market managers to drop their mobile phones and delete the videos they filmed......
The most bizarre point in this incident is that the "Hurricane Brothers" went to the market management to ask for "justice", why did the managers become accomplices? This question probably needs to be answered in advance more than the ghost scale that is missing two catties.
It is said that after the matter was exposed to the hot search, many local relevant departments closed the comment area of the official account, which further increased the doubts on the Internet. People are curious, why don't the people sue and the officials don't investigate? Why is there no response from the local market supervision bureau to a problem that can be easily discovered by an anti-counterfeiter?
Each of these problems is more serious than the ghost scale of the merchant. Similarly, if these essential problems are not faced, then the ghost scale merchants will only be fined three glasses of wine, and then change the market to continue the ghost scale.
This is the same as the gas station was fined 2,000 yuan for 8.63 million yuan for lack of oil and profit, and the fine of 2,000 yuan for gas stations has no meaning. They know that the benefits far outweigh the costs, so they naturally have the confidence to continue to make mistakes, and at the same time further expand their efforts. Because after a battle, they have clearly understood the true meaning of Gao Qiqiang's words, the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.
