According to reports, a single bed sold for more than 100,000 yuan, a set of sofas sold for more than 300,000 yuan, high prices and imported Italian famous Da Vinci furniture fell into the production and quality crisis. Yesterday, CCTV's "Weekly Quality Report" revealed that Da Vinci furniture was not 100% produced in Italy, and some products from Dongguan's small workshops were “gold-plated†and then turned into domestic sales, and turned into Italian famous products. In addition, the raw materials used are not the valuable solid wood claimed by Da Vinci. After testing, the Da Vinci furniture purchased by consumers is even judged as a substandard product. There is a saying in Chinese folk: "Silkworm mother and child (woodpecker), fell into the water tank, saves a mouth." The mouth is hard, biting the root of the wood wedge, life and death is not loose. Da Vinci, headquartered in Shanghai, is not such a company. The author did not participate in the investigation and it is not good to say this. However, from the video of CCTV's "Weekly Quality Report", the author is simply impressed by Pan Zhuangxiu, the founder of the Da Vinci Group, who is boldly asking for the price of the "Chongyang Meiwai" rich man pocket. According to the CCTV "Weekly Quality Report" broadcast on the 10th, "Da Vinci's high-priced furniture "foreign brand" identity was accused of fraud: Da Vinci furniture is said to be the most influential high-end furniture brand in China, known for its high price. . A single bed sold for more than 100,000 yuan, and a set of sofas sold for more than 300,000 yuan. The reason why the price is so high, Da Vinci sales staff said that because the furniture is 100% Italian "international super brand", the raw materials used are "natural high-quality raw materials" without pollution. However, after more than half a year of investigations by CCTV reporters, it was found that a large number of these high-priced homes sold by Da Vinci were not produced in Italy, and the raw materials used were not the valuable solid wood claimed by Da Vinci. After testing, consumers purchased Da Vinci furniture was even judged to be a non-conforming product. For example, CCTV said that Ms. Tang from Beijing spent more than 2.8 million yuan to purchase more than 40 pieces of furniture from the Da Vinci store, including more than 300,000 yuan for a set of sofas and more than 100,000 yuan for a single bed. When these expensive furniture entered the house, Ms. Tang found the problem. She said that these expensive furniture actually gave off a strong pungent smell. The single bed she bought for more than 100,000 yuan, the contract size is 1.5 meters, but the actual delivery is only 1.2 meters. When Ms. Tang communicated with the Da Vinci store staff, she was told: “The size of the country is different from the size of the foreign country.†She said that she spent so much money on Da Vinci furniture because The sales staff promised that their furniture is an “international super brand†produced in Italy, and the materials used are “natural high-quality raw materials†without pollution. Although Beijing Da Vinci Furniture Company provided Ms. Tang with a furniture import procedure, Ms. Tang still doubted the “identity†of these furniture bought from Da Vinci. Such expensive furniture also dares to make a fake, Da Vinci's boss Pan Zhuang Xiuhua, the gallbladder is also "fat". Earlier, a financial website had a report on Pan Zhuang Xiuhua, from the countryside of Fujian to Singapore, to Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, to Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing... the poor children who went to the amaranth leaves every day. To the direct seller who sells fast-made universal pots made in Germany, to the famous host of TV cooking programs, to the general manager of multinational companies that sell European and American furniture and cultural ideas... Pan Zhuangxiu, general manager of Da Vinci Group, performed a "Cinderella" "The path of change". The financial website quoted Pan Zhuang Xiuhua as saying: "There are such a few businessmen, one is a mainlander, one is a Taiwanese, one is a Hong Kong, and the other is a Singaporean. Who do you choose to do business with? You will definitely choose Singapore. People, because they are good at "cheat." Especially for a soft woman like me, when I see a customer buying a large single piece of furniture, there is a dizzy jump, for fear that others can not afford it!" Today, she is not cheating The Singaporeans who are "fraudulent" have become the richest people in mainland China who can buy the furniture they sell. It is clear that the double bed of more than 30,000 yuan sells more than 300,000 yuan, which is different from stealing money. CCTV's investigation in Dongguan, the author saw that it was really true. In order to avoid leaving a handle, the e-mail address of Da Vinci's purchase changed in a few days, and it was like underground work. When Peng Jie, manager of Dongguan Changfeng Company, and the reporter of the dark defense, I let the author almost laugh. Peng Jie said that since 2006, they have been producing furniture for Da Vinci. The furniture produced has been expanded from the original series to the current three series. The brands are Cabrera, Hollywood, Riva, and now Dafen. The annual trading volume of the company is about 50 million yuan. CCTV concluded that the high-priced furniture sold by Da Vinci is not 100% produced in Italy, but processed by some furniture companies in Dongguan; the raw materials used are not the Italian precious wood white poplar roots, but high Molecular resin materials, large core sheets and MDF. CCTV sighed: "The price of one point is worth the price, but the furniture sold by Da Vinci Company is sold to hundreds of thousands or even millions. It is not expensive, but the identity is fake and the quality is not qualified. We can't help but ask. Today, in the absence of corporate integrity, what can consumers believe in?" As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles. Today, when information consultation is so developed, I am afraid that I will not be able to block the news. Some media said that Da Vinci's branches and specialty stores in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Hong Kong have all been questioned. On the afternoon of the 10th, a reporter called Da Vinci Shanghai Head Office. The receptionist at the company said that “some reports are not in line with the facts and the company will take legal action to protect itselfâ€. For the reporter's intention to interview the relevant person in charge, she all blocked the driver, indicating that the administrative staff is still on weekends. Subsequently, the reporter contacted Wu Ping who arrived at the Finch market department. She said that she knew the news at noon. It is not good at present, but "the media interviews are definitely different, and there is a certain degree of inaccuracy." “In our series of furniture, the 'Hollywood' brand is not imported. We have labels on the products, but other brands are imported from abroad.†She said that yesterday was the last day of Da Vinci’s new Italian furniture show in Beijing. I did not expect to have a fake news. "We are also very shocked. At present, the company is collecting evidence and will hold a press conference in the next day." When the reporter asked what evidence would be issued, she said that things happened too quickly and it is still difficult to disclose. From 100% import to "Hollywood" is indeed not imported, the flaw has come out. According to industry sources, Da Vinci's use of false reporting is only one of the "hidden rules" in the industry. “Many factories will register a brand abroad, but the production site is in China, but in the end they will claim that the products are imported.†A person who has been engaged in the furniture industry for many years said that these “fake foreign devils†should be marked with domestic origin, but they Deliberately changed to a foreign place of registration, in this regard, shopping malls generally let go, the so-called foreign brand furniture, almost one-fifth is genuine. The person said that the use of a part of imported parts, and the mix of domestic parts accounted for a large proportion of imported furniture. In order to save costs, it is quite common to entrust a small processing plant to the local cottage. The furniture industry also revealed that there are many fakes in the tiles that cost tens of dollars. "Some manufacturers register a trademark name abroad, get the 'identity' and produce and sell it in China. When they start the 'imported tile' business, the price can be doubled." Panzhuang Xiuhua, who came out of Fujian's rural areas, has suffered so much. It is not easy to go today. If the furniture it sells, if it is real material, it will be fine. However, it is not kind to cut corners of workers and make foreign furniture made in China. In this regard, Zhao Xiaoli, the secretary-general of the Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee, told the media that if Da Vinci shoddy and deceives the consumer, the situation is true. According to Article 49 of the Consumer Protection Law, it should be refunded. “The use of MDF as a solid wood, pretending that its products are all imported, is a serious fraud for consumers.†She believes that although Da Vinci’s claim is not true, if it is after the investigation It is true that the situation is true. The Consumer Protection Committee will support the consumers and ask the factory to refund one of the products in the exposure list. The careful reporter found in the investigation that if Da Vinci’s fraudulent acts were true, he also touched Article 50 of the Consumer Protection Law. If the circumstances were serious, he might even be ordered to suspend business for rectification and revoke his business license.
