The Big Business Group Has The Message Of "Brand" Dignity.

Being threatened and intimidated, being allowed to increase the discount point and stop the settlement.

"Our supplier is a disadvantaged group. When we want to open a store, we must look at the face of the big business group. Where is our dignity? Who will protect our rights?" recently, many domestic and foreign brand suppliers complained to the big business group.

Willing to take the threat of means such as deduction and stop payment, and restrict the brand suppliers to open special counters in the new Zhongxing shopping mall in Shenyang, which is about to open.

In the middle street of Shenyang, Zhongxing new shopping mall in Shenyang is actively preparing for the opening of the business, helping more than 600 commercial brands to settle in new homes.

In the face of the soon to open competitors, the new business group Shenyang New Mart shopping plaza limited, which is only one way away, is doing the act of "pulling down the platform". They orally request that all suppliers who have business contacts with the big business group are not allowed to settle in the new mall of Shenyang, otherwise they will take the time to suspend the settlement of the goods and increase the penalty for sales by 5%.

All the way, business war is in full swing, when the threat is "cashed", it has touched the bottom line of the law.

Today, when the rule of law is continuously pushed forward, why can "commercial war" continue to be staged?

Where is the dignity of "brand"?

"You'd better not cooperate with Shenyang Zhongxing's new city, otherwise we will have to increase 5% discount points and stop payment settlement for every shopping mall of DAC."

For a while, suppliers in major shopping malls of DQ have received similar threats.

"We are a disadvantaged group. Shenyang Zhongxing new city is staring at the opening of the business. According to our previous agreement, we are ready to open a new cabinet. The counters have been set up. But now the big business group does not allow us to cooperate with the new Zhongxing city in Shenyang. Although we are unwilling to do so, we dare not offend.

"I don't know what to do next." a northeastern agent who asked not to be named, told the reporters that he was responsible for a number of shops, and received the oral "notice" of the heads of the major shopping centers of the big business group. The spearhead directed at the new shopping mall in Shenyang, which is bound to be punished by the big business group.

"It is our right to set up shop in the major shopping malls. The unreasonable threat of DAC is really annoying me. But the problem is that our arms are not screwed up. If all the shopping malls all over the country of the big business group take punishment measures on our agent brand, we will suffer a lot of losses."

The agent told reporters that he insisted on the renovation of the new cabinet in the new shopping mall in Zhongxing, Shenyang. The New Mart Tiexi store of the big business group "seized" their money. "Let's go to ask them."

Under the intervention of lawyers, DAC agreed to "seizure" before settling in February 5th.

But the problem is coming again. A shop in Anshan supplied by the agent has also been punished by the "suspend payment settlement" of the big business group. "Invoice is not accepted," or "you know it yourself". Hundreds of thousands of goods are being "seized", which directly affects the turnover of our small companies, which is too bully, and we have no dignity at all.

The agent said so.

Shopping malls are like battlefields! This "commercial war" affects many commercial brands.

In the interview,

Mr. Yao, general manager of the brand in the northeast region, Shenyang Xin Ni commerce and Trade Co., Ltd. told reporters that although the contract has not been signed with ZTE's new city, however, since the end of 12 in 2014, the DQ group has also frozen its total more than 40 of the more than 40 stores in the northeast region.

Mr. Yao felt very aggrieved: "it was not our company that signed the new town with ZTE, and our products were frozen. But the big business group thought it was an internal matter of Adidas brand. And recently we were told that the problem would not be solved, so that our sales outlets would not continue to operate."

Big business responded by saying "no"

In response to the same information reported by many suppliers, the reporter interviewed Li Zhenjia, Minister of marketing of Shenyang New Mart Shopping Plaza Co., Ltd.

Reporters in response to the big business group signed a contract with the resurgence of the new city, suspended the supplier's payment and suspended the supplier's business problems. The minister responded that the new city of ZTE didn't open on time, and the external statement was that the fire department did not have the right of examination. "Every supplier has the right to choose independently. The market in Shenyang is very large. So many stores are open every day. We can't block it. You come to ask me about it. We don't know how to answer it. I don't think the situation of complaint exists."

Minister Li gave reporters a shopping mall which was closed for nearly two years in Shenyang, and repeatedly stressed that the closure of a shopping mall is a market behavior and a business problem.

"Manufacturers are just trying to maximize profits. This is a malicious report."

New store opening blocked

Behind the "commercial war", apart from the supplier being "hurt", the Shenyang Zhongxing new city shopping mall on the other side of the "commercial war" has also been indirectly affected.

Guan Jinping, executive deputy general manager of Shenyang Zhongxing new city shopping malls management Co., Ltd., in an interview with reporters, said that the new town of ZTE was originally planned to open at the end of 1 this year, but the current situation is twists and turns, and there are still obstacles from external factors.

In the past half a month, the group has deployed troops to Shenyang, concentrating on manpower, and talking about brands one by one. It threatened to take 15% different brands, such as freezing goods, increasing 5% points and removing the cabinets, and so on.

Guan Jinping said that investors in the shopping center have expressed strong dissatisfaction with the investment environment in Shenyang. They believe that the situation is very complex and the future is full of uncertainty, and this sentiment has spread to many investors in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Brand suppliers have also raised serious doubts about the business environment in Shenyang. At present, the brand has been demolished because of the threat. Many brands think that the market is disorder and competition is excessive, and they can not operate normally.

Zhang Xinhui, a senior legal adviser to Zhongxing new city and senior partner of Tongfang law firm in Liaoning, thinks that the behavior of DAC is suspected of abusing its market scale, and by means of illegal means such as raising the agreed points and freezing the loan amount during the contract period, limiting suppliers' supply to other retailers and providing sales services. Its behavior has seriously hamper fair competition in market trading order, infringes the legitimate rights and interests of the trading parties, and seriously violates the relevant laws and regulations of "fair management of retailers and suppliers" and other related legal norms.

A notice of correction has cracked a lie.

In the survey interview, a number of suppliers and the relevant responsible persons of Shenyang Zhongxing new city have provided reporters with a copy of the documents issued by the Shenyang Administration for Industry and Commerce for the purpose of correcting the notice [Shen industrial and commercial administration (2015) 001], the brand notice on resisting the resurgence of the new city, and the document on the brand of ZTE's new city.

Reporters found that in the two documents labeled "big business internal data", a number of brands were listed. In the latter group opinion, most of them tagged "the whole group raised 5% points and stopped payment".

The following instructions are attached to the "instructions" on the brand entering the new city of ZTE.

With the support and cooperation of all the stores, some brands have been stopped after the first round of processing. However, a number of brands have been stationed and begun to enter the decoration. The commodity center went to Shenyang for field visits and decided to study with the Shenyang group. Now we are taking measures to deal with the second batch of brands.

The specific measures are as follows: since January 1st, the whole group has increased the deduction point by 5% and the whole group has stopped payment (the operation of the group contract business review committee is unified in the system).

All stores should strictly inform the brand according to the trademark brand details.

The following instructions are attached to the "notice" about the boycott of the brand new notice of the new city work in ZTE (the internal information of big business).

Following the group mentality and warning the brand, the commodity center has collected and collated the brand list which is too negative at present, besides firmly handling the brand manufacturers that can not be consistent with our group. It also consulted the views of the Shenyang regional group on the front line. Now it decided to firmly ban some brands in the whole group, and the whole group should cooperate with the whole group.

In January 22nd this year, the Shenyang Administration for Industry and Commerce made the notice of the Shenyang Administration for Industry and Commerce ordered to make corrections. [Shen industrial and commercial accountability (2015) 001] completely cracked the so-called "nonexistence" lies in the big business group.

The notice clearly stated that the new business mart, Shenyang New Mart shopping and leisure Plaza Co., Ltd. used the suspension of payment settlement and the increase of sales discount points to restrict the supplier's supply to the "Zhongxing new city", which violated the relevant provisions of the "retailers and suppliers' fair trading management measures" and ordered the Shenyang New Mart shopping plaza limited to stop the violation immediately.

In response to this incident, relevant officials of the Fair Trade Office of the Provincial Bureau of industry and Commerce told reporters that suppliers abuse their dominant position and conduct unfair pactions to harm the interests of consumers. Suppliers are squeezing and suppressing competitors, limiting the goods of other suppliers of retailers, damaging consumers' right to purchase commodities and increasing the consumption cost of consumers.

According to the "retailers and suppliers fair trading management measures", retailers or suppliers violate the provisions of this regulation and have laws and regulations. If the regulations are not provided, the relevant departments will order them to make corrections, and those with illegal gains may be fined three times less than the illegal gains, but the maximum amount is not more than thirty thousand yuan. If there is no illegal income, they may be fined not more than ten thousand yuan.

For the Shenyang Municipal Administration for Industry and commerce, the Shenyang Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce ordered the corrections letter to be ordered by the Bureau of industry and Commerce of the city. Most of the respondents believed that the big business group did not correct the wrong behavior after receiving the notice, and the fines of up to thirty thousand yuan were also one of the best for the big business group.

"The highest does not exceed thirty thousand" highlights the low cost of illegal activities

In view of this ongoing "commercial war", Sun Changjiang, head of the rights protection lawyers group, vice president of the provincial bar association, director of Beijing Dacheng (Shenyang) law firm, and members of the newspaper's rights protection lawyers group, and fan fan Shu, lawyer of Liaoning peer law firm, have made their respective views.

The two lawyers both said that the behavior of DAC group not only violated the relevant provisions of the "fair trade management measures for retailers and suppliers", but also violated the relevant laws of the anti unfair competition law, the anti-monopoly law and the contract law.
