Safety hazard?
Hearing Yang Bo's words, everyone was in an uproar.
Was there such a thing? No wonder he dared to sell it so cheaply, it was practically a cabbage price!
If there was a safety hazard, then it made sense!
Some people were fantasizing in their hearts, while others showed a look of seeing through everything.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Hearing Yang Bo's words, Brother Hu was furious. He immediately stood up, about to unleash a barrage of insults.
His two subordinates also prepared to come forward in support, and even the two experienced repairmen brought by Wang Yu had displeased expressions.
Whether their car had safety quality hazards or not, they themselves had participated in its manufacturing, and had even driven it for several days. Did someone who came from so far away not know this?
This old man was simply talking nonsense, he had never seen such a shameless person!
"Calm down first, let's see what he has to say."
Wang Yu stopped Brother Hu and the others who were about to erupt, then looked at Yang Bo with deep eyes.
Perhaps sensing Wang Yu's gaze, Yang Bo gave a smug cold smile.
"Everyone, I am not maliciously fabricating facts."
Yang Bo, seeing that the emotions of the onlookers seemed to have been stirred up, put on a righteous and energetic demeanor. "This is an appraisal report from the Machinery Industry Association."
As he spoke, Yang Bo took out a stack of papers from his pocket.
The papers were the size of ordinary A4 paper, densely printed with many words.
Few people could understand the data on the stack of papers, but when they turned to the last page, there was a large character – Unqualified!
Then, in a small line of text below, it stated: "It is hereby appraised that there are serious safety quality hazards, and sales are not recommended."
Finally, a vivid red seal was affixed at the end, signed by the Machinery Industry Association.
Machinery Industry Association? What was that?
Wang Yu was stunned, feeling a bit bewildered for the first time.
What kind of entity was this? It actually appraised his car as having safety quality hazards.
"Little Factory Manager, the Machinery Industry Association is a private, non-governmental organization initiated by Jiangping Machinery Industry Company and joined by many machinery industry enterprises," a repairman explained in a low voice to Wang Yu.
"What? A non-governmental private organization has the qualification to judge my product as unqualified?"
Wang Yu found it strange. A private organization, what authority did its appraisal certificate hold? But Yang Bo looked so confident, as if he had Wang Yu cornered, which definitely meant there was something hidden!
"Little Factory Manager, although the Machinery Industry Association is a private organization and not official," another experienced repairman explained, "its member units are all leading factories and enterprises in the province, industry leaders!
Their certifications carry significant weight. Once a factory or enterprise receives their recognition, it can soar to success immediately! Therefore, the credibility of the Machinery Industry Association is very strong. Besides..."
At this point, the experienced repairman gave a wry smile. "For the vast majority of people, it's impossible to distinguish whether it's official or not. As long as they think it's high-level and trustworthy, that's enough!"
This made sense!
Wang Yu sighed. In his previous life, many people were superstitious about so-called imported goods.
Many unbranded, OEM products could sell out simply by having an imported label.
Meanwhile, genuinely excellent domestic products were ignored.
And what about those so-called Qigong masters... who were rampant for decades and extorted how much in IQ taxes?
Whether the Machinery Industry Association was official or not was not important. As long as the name sounded authoritative and intimidating, it was enough!
Never mind! This was human nature!
"It seems this is very disadvantageous for us!" Wang Yu looked around and saw that everyone present had a look of hesitation.
Especially his four users, their faces had changed, as if they felt they had been deceived.
The only one in a slightly better state was the village official, Zhang Jianshe, but he also looked conflicted.
"Everyone, when this young man brought his so-called new-style agricultural vehicle to sell, I already noticed something was wrong!"
Yang Bo said, striking while the iron was hot, his tone suddenly becoming very impassioned.
"How could such a good car be so cheap? It wouldn't even cover the cost. But I couldn't refute anything at the time, so I could only watch as everyone was being deceived."
Yang Bo looked full of regret, as if he had done something unforgivable.
"Afterward, I specifically asked a friend in the Machinery Industry Association to appraise this product. The result... is all here!"
Yang Bo drew out his words, sighing helplessly.
"This is just a shoddy product pieced together, with thirty-seven safety quality hazards and nineteen non-compliant items. It's deceiving everyone under the guise of a so-called new-style agricultural machine!"
"We must keep our eyes open to avoid being deceived!"
Yang Bo's impassioned performance was surprisingly effective. Everyone present started whispering amongst themselves.
"I knew it, how could a car be so cheap?"
"Yeah, the style and design are simply too luxurious. Ordinary trucks are probably not as good. How could such a good thing be less than twenty thousand?"
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect this young man, who looks so energetic, to be a swindler!"
"Fortunately, I wasn't fooled!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
...
Various opinions were voiced, and each sentence shot into the hearts of Wang Yu's only four customers like arrows.
Their already hesitant expressions became even more shaky!
This old guy!
Wang Yu looked at Yang Bo, feeling that this fellow was wasting his talent selling agricultural machinery; he should be an actor.
What a talent!
After Wang Yu finished ordering cars in Jiangping City last time, he rushed back to Jiangyang County, traveling day and night.
It was only after the cars were finally produced that he came to Jiangping City for the second time today.
The cars were with him or in the factory along the way. When did this old guy get to inspect them?
And he spoke so confidently about how many problems there were? Could his eyes be X-rays?
And sure enough, this performance made it seem like he was the swindler!
Especially his manipulative tone, which directly set the rhythm, making everyone follow him!
"Young man, can I not buy this car? If not, I don't want my thousand yuan deposit." Finally, a customer couldn't take it anymore and spoke to Wang Yu.
"Yes!"
Wang Yu answered without hesitation.
"Buying and selling is voluntary. If you don't want it, I won't force you, and your deposit will be returned in full!"
"Little Factory Manager!" Brother Hu exclaimed, both surprised and angry. Why did the little factory manager agree so readily?
Business isn't done like this! This old guy! I...
"Don't worry!" Wang Yu waved his hand to stop Brother Hu, and calmly said to the customer, "There's no problem with returning the car, but if you want to buy one in the future, you won't get this discounted price."
"No problem, just return the car for me!" The customer nodded without hesitation. Seeing this, the other two customers also stepped forward asking to return their cars.
Wang Yu readily agreed, tore up the order contracts in front of everyone, and issued IOUs on the spot, promising to return each person's 1000 yuan deposit after withdrawing the money from the bank.
The series of actions were swift and decisive, making Brother Hu beside him almost cry.
Only Zhang Jianshe still looked hesitant and conflicted.
Yang Bo, seeing the scene, showed a triumphant smile and was about to add fuel to the fire.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"An appraisal report from the Machinery Industry Association? How come I didn't know about it?"
