Suddenly hearing someone shouting outside, Qin Hao and his son were impatiently and loudly reprimanded, "What's all the fuss about? What kind of behavior is this!"
"Chairman, all the merchants who bought our fish are now blocking the company entrance, saying they want refunds and returns!" the employee said in a panic.
Qin Cang was stunned when he heard this, "What? They all came to demand refunds and returns?"
"That's right, they say our fish are fake, and they demand triple compensation!" the employee said nervously.
This made Qin Hao and his son panic. They quickly said, "What? Let's go and see!"
When they arrived outside, they found that it was already crowded with people, almost dozens of merchants.
"Qin Cang, you black-hearted fellow, come out!"
"We want refunds, you scoundrel, you sold us fake goods!"
"Not a single one meets the standard, we want refunds and returns, we want triple compensation! Pay up..."
The people outside were shouting, and some even threw eggs and shoes, scaring Qin Hao and his son into hiding inside the company, not daring to go out.
The two looked at each other, seeing fear and confusion on each other's faces.
"Wh-what's going on? How did they find out?" Qin Cang asked in confusion.
Qin Hao also wondered, "I don't know! We've always done this before, and they didn't notice anything?"
These two fools didn't know that they had previously sold smaller quantities, only a few tons or a dozen tons each time.
Moreover, at the beginning, the fish sold by Ye Feng accounted for a high proportion, reaching seventy to eighty percent.
At that time, no one had thought of fake goods, nor had they discovered any fake goods.
Later, they gradually reduced it to fifty to sixty percent, and finally, when Ye Feng stopped selling, it even dropped to thirty percent.
At that time, some people had already noticed that some fish were not right.
But they didn't say anything, after all, no matter how excellent a company is, its products cannot be without flaws.
However, this time, the Qin family directly sold a thousand tons in a short period, and more importantly, not a single one of these thousand tons met the standard. How could this not cause trouble?
"Son, wh-what should we do?" Qin Cang was a little panicked at this time.
Qin Hao was also close to peeing himself, and said nervously, "Dad! I, I don't know either!"
As the father and son trembled in fear, the people outside shouted loudly, "Qin family father and son, get out quickly!"
"That's right, not a single fish you sold meets the standard, get out and refund and compensate! We want triple compensation for fakes!"
"If you don't come out, we'll sue you..."
Hearing this, the two were instantly scared stiff.
Qin Hao was pacing anxiously, sweat beads dripping onto the ground like rain.
They had almost sold all of these thousand tons, earning nearly a hundred million. If they had to pay triple compensation, it would be three to four hundred million.
This almost made Qin Hao's father, Qin Cang, collapse to the ground.
"Dad! You, don't panic! Let me think of a way!"
After speaking, Qin Hao paced back and forth in the office, listening to the shouting below, he suddenly froze.
"Right, they said not a single one meets the standard? Hmm? Could it be..."
Suddenly, Qin Hao was stunned and quickly asked someone to check the remaining unsold fish.
However, he was shocked when he looked.
It turned out that the three hundred tons of fish that Ye Feng sold him were far inferior to the fish sold by Ye Feng's Sea God Company before.
"Damn it, no wonder those people found out, it turns out I was tricked by that guy Ye Feng!"
After realizing it, Qin Hao was furious.
He quickly called Ye Feng and cursed, "Ye Feng, you scoundrel, you sold me fake goods!"
Ye Feng chuckled when he heard this, "Heh heh, what fake goods? I don't know what you're talking about!"
"You're still pretending, the batch of fish you sold me didn't meet the standards of your Sea God Company's previous sales!" Qin Hao said angrily.
Ye Feng smiled when he heard this, "I didn't say those fish met the previous sales standards either!"
"What? You, you scoundrel, you're setting me up?" Qin Hao was furious and cursed.
Ye Feng smiled, "How am I setting you up? You wanted to buy it yourself, it's not like I forced you to sell it!"
"Damn it! You guy, you wait, I'll sue you!" Qin Hao said angrily.
Ye Feng smiled when he heard this, "Sue me? Go ahead and sue! I'll be waiting for you..."
Ye Feng had long guessed that after selling the batch of fish to Qin Hao, he would be sued in court, so he had already made preparations.
Since the Qin family did not refund or compensate the merchants, they were directly sued in court.
The Qin family then sued Ye Feng, intending to shift all the blame to Ye Feng, claiming they were deceived by him.
A few days later, the three parties appeared in the People's Court of Dongchuan City.
The scene was silent, with several stern police officers standing beside Ye Feng and the Qin Hao father and son.
In front of them were several impartial judges, and behind them were the merchants, and finally, some onlookers.
At this time, the clerk was reading out the court discipline. After a few minutes, the clerk finished reading.
The presiding judge, holding a small gavel, struck the table forcefully. With the crisp sound of the gavel, the presiding judge announced, "I declare that the case of fake fish in Dongchuan City is officially opened!"
A judge stood up and said, "Now, please, both plaintiffs, state your claims, facts, and reasons!"
As soon as the judge finished speaking, several merchants immediately said, "Your Honor, we are suing the Qin family for selling us fake goods... We demand triple compensation!"
After they finished speaking, the judge looked at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao saw this and said, "Your Honor, these fish were sold to me by Ye Feng's Sea God Company. I was also deceived by them, and the responsibility does not lie with us... I also demand that their company provide triple compensation!"
Finally, the judge looked at Ye Feng and said, "Defendant, do you have anything to say now?"
Ye Feng smiled when he heard this, "Your Honor, Qin Hao and his son are talking pure nonsense and defamation. Firstly, he sold a thousand tons of fish to those merchants! And I only sold him three hundred tons! He adulterated my fish and sold it to other merchants."
"Secondly, the fish I sold, whether in terms of meat quality or efficacy, far surpasses all fish on the market. You can verify that they are not fake at all!"
"Finally, I also want to sue him for defamation and slander, and for the compensation for the damage caused to our company's reputation!"
Ye Feng spoke with reason and evidence.
When the judge heard this, he immediately said, "Someone, bring the fish they mentioned separately!"
Soon, a group of people carried three large buckets of fish.
These three buckets of fish were respectively from the merchants, the Qin Hao father and son, and Ye Feng.
The judge summoned several biomedical experts to analyze and identify the three buckets of fish. The results came out shortly.
A medical expert took out a document and handed it up, saying, "The first bucket and the second bucket are the same, but the first bucket and the second bucket are only one-third the same as the third bucket!"
The judges took the documents and read them carefully.
After reading, they discussed among themselves.
Finally, the presiding judge announced, "Ahem, after scientific identification by biomedical experts and our discussion as judges, the following results are announced..."
