Chapter 91 Fake Beef Incident

Madagascar, Zhangjiacheng.

Li Fusheng is now a mid-level technician at the Raytheon military factory, with a monthly income of more than 70 yuan. Two years ago, he found a daughter of a recent immigrant through the matchmaking agency of the Meihua Company and married her.

He also had a son this year. Although he now has three people to support in the family and has to pay a mortgage of nearly 20 yuan every month, his income is more than enough.

Not only that, he also bought a BMW bicycle produced by Qilin Company and a Zhulong watch, both of which cost him nearly a year's salary.

These are symbols of status, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and buy them. His colleagues would often talk about this as a topic of conversation.

However, recently Li Fusheng's family has been banned from large-scale consumption. One reason is that Doit has already bought the luxury goods for show.

Secondly, their son had just been born, and they had to buy Maple Leaf Life Insurance Company products for him, which was a considerable expense every month. Recently, the couple also planned to buy insurance for themselves.

Maple Leaf Life Insurance Company is an insurance company under the Maple Leaf Group and is headquartered in Zhangjiacheng.

There is also a Maple Leaf Life Insurance Company, headquartered in the United States, but its business volume is not as high as that of the Life Insurance Company.

Maple Leaf Group and Shennong Biopharmaceutical Company jointly opened a modern hospital in Zhangjiacheng, Zhangjiacheng Huatuo Hospital, which is a hospital combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine, but mainly focuses on Western medicine.

The Western doctors at Zhangjiacheng Huatuo Hospital were invited from America and European countries by various means. Some of the Chinese medicine doctors were selected from immigrants, and the more famous ones were brought from the Far East by paying bribes to local officials or simply kidnapping them.

Therefore, the charging standards of Zhangjiacheng Huatuo Hospital are very high, which means that if the residents here want to come to this hospital for treatment, they have to buy insurance from Maple Leaf Life Insurance Company first.

Maple Leaf Life Insurance Company sent salesmen to visit households one by one to explain the various benefits of buying insurance. People today are still very naive, and the most important thing is that this is an open conspiracy, so they have no choice but to buy it.

"Only if you buy insurance from our company can you go to Zhangjiacheng Huatuo Hospital for medical treatment, and you can also enjoy a 50% discount on medical treatment. What a good deal! For the sake of your children, buy it quickly. Your children are still young and can easily get sick. Only when they are treated in Huatuo Hospital can you feel at ease."

After hearing this, the couple felt that the few dollars a month was still affordable, so they bought the insurance without hesitation.

Later, when the child fell ill, he went to Zhangjiacheng Huatuo Hospital. Sure enough, he was cured quickly and the treatment fee was less than half.

In fact, many diseases can be basically cured by using the medicines of Shennong Biopharmaceutical Company.

The Meihua Company also has a Meihua Insurance Company under it. In order to jointly promote insurance, the two companies concealed a lot of information, raised the threshold for medical treatment, and only promoted the benefits and functions of insurance.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng established a supervisory office and tried his best to safeguard the basic rights and interests of ordinary people.

Li Fusheng's family's breakfast tonight is a can of beef, two plates of stir-fried vegetarian dishes, and a glass of milk for each person.

At this time, Li Fusheng's wife opened a can of beef in the kitchen and poured it into a plate.

"Ah!" Li Fusheng was sitting at the dining table, waiting for his wife to serve the food, when he suddenly heard his wife's scream coming from the kitchen.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Fusheng quickly got up and went to the kitchen. Seeing his wife's face full of fear, he asked hurriedly.

"There, the head of something," said his wife, pointing to the canned meat on the plate.

Li Fusheng looked carefully and found that there was a piece of meat that looked like a mouse's head on the top of the canned meat on the plate.

"It's okay, it's just a rat's head." After hugging his wife to comfort her, Li Fusheng poured the meat back into the can.

He planned to take it to the store to return it. If it were in the Eastern country, he would definitely let it go. After all, it was just a mouse, there was really no need to cause trouble.

But this is Zhangjiacheng. He has been here for 4 years and has become accustomed to the simple folk customs here.

The intersection of Eastern and Western cultures, coupled with Zhang Feng's deliberate ideological education and indulgence, made them no longer just succumb to being an honest person.

After a quick breakfast, Li Fusheng came to the Meihua supermarket chain with a gun and an opened can of food.

"Hello, my wife bought a can of beef here yesterday. When she opened it this morning, she found a rat head inside. Please give me a new can."

Li Fusheng found the person in charge of the store and said.

“You’ve already opened it, we can’t change it for you,” the store manager said after taking one look at the can.

"If I don't open it, how can I find the rat head inside? Then I can't exchange it."

Li Fusheng was shocked by his words, but he still explained calmly.

"Anyway, it's opened and can't be replaced. Besides, I don't know if you put the rat head in there yourself."

The store manager continued.

"Don't insult me. I don't need the money for this can of food. Do you want to change it or not?"

Li Fusheng was so angry that he grabbed his collar and pulled out a pistol with his other hand, pointing it at his head and said.

Although the store manager was a little scared, he still couldn't give in. He simply didn't believe that Li Fusheng would dare to shoot just for a can of food.

Of course Li Fusheng would not shoot just for a can of food. He is not a fool.

At this time, everyone in the store was frightened and everyone ran out.

Li Fusheng didn't dare to shoot, but he didn't want to admit defeat just yet. Just then, a man walked in.

"Sir, let's talk nicely. Can you tell me what it is?" a young man came in and said.

"Who are you?" Li Fusheng took the opportunity to ask.

"I'm a reporter for the Chinese American Daily. My name is Anxin," the young man replied.

When Li Fusheng heard that it was a reporter, he recounted the whole story. After that, he angrily punched the store manager and then put away his gun.

"I think it's better to do this. The canned food is not produced by the supermarket. You can bring the canned food to the Inspection Office to file a complaint. If the story is true, you can get compensation."

After listening to this, An Xin suggested to Li Fusheng that it would not only help the citizens solve the problem, but he also thought it was good news. Going to the Supervisory Office could make the matter bigger. If it continued to develop, he could write a good news report, which would bring him one step closer to a promotion and a pay raise. "Okay, let's go." Before leaving, Li Fusheng punched the manager again, and he felt relieved.

A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at a three-story house. A sign next to the door read Safety Management and Inspection Office.

After explaining the reason for their visit, the receptionist took them to an office with the words "Ministry of Civil Affairs" written on the door.

The office was quite spacious, with three people working inside. One of them stood up to greet them.

"Tell me what you want to do." The staff member took out a file book and said.

After the two introduced themselves, Li Fusheng recounted what had just happened.

The clerk asked a few more questions and wrote them down with a pen.

"Okay, leave this can of beef behind and go back and wait for news. We will arrange for someone to investigate and notify you when there is a result. Write your home address here."

The clerk handed the pen to Li Fusheng, pointed to a blank space and asked him to fill it out.

"Can I join you in the investigation? Our Chinese American Daily wants to do a special report on food safety." An Xin said as she handed over her work ID.

"Of course no problem. It's not a secret." The clerk turned to look at the director behind him, and when he saw the director nod, he immediately replied.

After Li Fusheng left, the Civil Affairs Supervision Office began its investigation. They first asked the real food research experts from the Meihua Company's Scientific Research Institute to identify the canned food.

The authentic experts certified by Meihua Company concluded that this is indeed a rat head.

Just when everyone thought this was just an accident in the food production process, experts said that the other meat in the can was not beef.

It is a mixture of rat meat, pork lymph meat, starch, animal bone paste, etc.

This made the clerk of the Civil Affairs Supervision Office believe what Li Fusheng said, because even if he was the one who put the rat head there, it was impossible for him to make the fake beef.

Finally, the Civil Affairs Supervision Department and the police came to the Zhongkuai Canning Factory under the Meihua Company to investigate.

Jiang Yabo, the manager of the Zhongkuai Canning Factory, looked at the can of beef that the clerk took out and insisted that it was not a rat head but a duck neck.

Jiang Yabo said that their factory also produces duck products, and it should be that the employees confused the two raw materials during their operation, so they put the duck neck into the canned beef.

It was not until the clerk from the Civil Affairs Supervision Office produced the appraisal letter and search warrant from the professor of the American Chinese Academy of Sciences that Jiang Yabo confessed the truth.

His brother-in-law was the factory's purchasing manager, and the two conspired to buy scraps from the slaughterhouse and rats from villagers to produce fake beef for profit.

After entering the factory and searching it, they discovered that the factory had two beef production lines, one of which produced real canned beef.

Jiang Yabo said that the real canned beef was sold to the logistics department of the Meihua Company, and the fake canned beef was given to the Meihua supermarket chain to be sold in the market.

They will also give a portion of the profits to the managers of the Meihua supermarket chain, so that even if someone complains to the supermarket, it will be of no use.

That's why they have been safe.

A few days later, an officer from the Civil Affairs Supervision Office came to the residential area where Li Fusheng lived. After knocking on the door, Li Fusheng opened it.

"Mr. Li, we are from the Civil Affairs Supervision Office. The complaint you submitted on the 15th has a result." The clerk said, taking out a list.

"Oh, please come in." Li Fusheng said happily.

"Here are 10 bottles of real canned beef. They are compensation to you from the supermarket and the cannery. Here is 20 yuan, which is the reward from the Supervision Office for your report. If you have no problem, please sign this list."

"Okay, thank you, I don't have any questions." Li Fusheng said happily, and then immediately signed his name.

"Thank you for your support of my work." The clerk finished his work and left.

"Hubby, the Zhengfu Yamen here is very quick and fair. They also sent me money and didn't embezzle the compensation cans."

Li Fusheng's wife said with excitement.

"Well, we should thank Meihua Company and Boss Zhang. This is our paradise. I will also uphold justice here in the future."

Li Fusheng said.

"Zhongkuai Canning Factory uses rat meat to produce fake beef. Manager Jiang Yabo is about to stand trial and may be sentenced to death." - American Chinese Daily

"Zhongkuai Canning Factory treats people differently by selling real and fake canned beef." - Immigration Daily.

"The manager of the Meihua supermarket chain and the manager of the Zhongkuai canning factory, Jiang Yabo, colluded with each other and will soon face trial!" - Today's News

"The Zhongkuai Canning Factory has been ordered to close down. The company has been abandoned by hundreds of customers. The company's assets have been frozen and will be used to compensate customers after the court's ruling." - Maple Leaf Daily

After this incident broke out, many Chinese-American company managers were punished.

The Supervisory Office was also reprimanded in this incident. Lei Wanting said that they should exercise subjective initiative and not wait until the people find out before investigating. Otherwise, what are you doing?

The Supervisory Office immediately launched a large-scale investigation that covered the entire industry, and published a statement in the newspaper that there would be rewards for reporting and that the investigation would be carried out to the end.

At the same time, it also requires cooperation with relevant departments of the Public Opinion Survey Office.

Zhang Jiacheng, the person in charge of the Public Opinion Survey Office, did not dare to agree directly. After all, their mission was only to target the sabotage work of internal and external hostile forces and protect the safety and interests of the Meihua Company.

So he expressed his intention to consult Zhang Feng, and Zhang Feng issued instructions in America: the interests of the company are important, but the interests of the people must also be taken care of.

This sentence also spread throughout Zhangjiacheng: The interests of the company are as important as the interests of the people.

The legal department of Meihua Company once again began to write strict food safety laws and legal provisions for various industries to ensure the interests of the people.
