Chapter 355 The Impact of Rumors
"It's already been checked."
She was an expert in this area, so Wang Li handed over another report.
According to the investigation, the company that registered the "Home Appliance Observation" account is a public relations company in Guangzhou.
The legal representative of this company is Li Jian, who is the nephew of Zhang Zhiqiang, the general agent for the South China region.
Other bloggers' posts also share similar connections, all involving individuals associated with distributors or public relations firms they have long-term partnerships with.
Li Qing smiled helplessly again. He had thought these people would be much more cunning, but...
How much have they embezzled internally?
"I'll organize the evidence and then go report to General Manager Shen."
Meanwhile, Shen Fei finished reading the report in his office.
He then picked up his phone and sent a few more comments from "experts".
A teacher in a white lab coat sits in a setting resembling a laboratory, with a radiation meter in front of him, and says to the camera:
"We tested the smart control screen of Transsion Home, and the battery radiation at close range reached 12 volts per meter, which is twice the national standard."
Prolonged exposure to this environment may cause headaches, insomnia, memory loss, etc.
"Who is this 'expert'?"
Shen Fei looked at Li Qing and said.
"I checked, his real name is Zhang Guoping. He used to be the deputy director of a municipal CDC, and he retired several years ago."
"Now I endorse all sorts of health products and home appliances, and the drug prices are quite reasonable. My endorsement schedule is almost completely full."
Li Qing said with a smile.
"The driving force behind this is likely the dealer team, but could it also be the appliance manufacturers?"
"Play with them first, have the legal department send them a lawyer's letter, and hold onto the evidence for now, don't rush to release it."
"clear!"
"Also, there's no need to report that radiation video. Let our technical team produce a debunking video, listing the real national standards and the test data."
Don't let fake data mislead real consumers.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Cheng Song, 28 years old this year, works as a product manager at an internet company in Xingshi.
The renovation company started working on the house as soon as we got the keys.
He had planned the whole-house smart home solution well in advance, and he chose the customized version... The smart home solution alone cost 198000.
The items include door locks, curtains, lighting, security systems, and mattresses. The scheduled on-site measurement is July 27th.
When his mother heard the news on the phone, she didn't say anything at the time, but the next day she took the high-speed train from her hometown of Shaoxing to come over.
As soon as he entered, he wandered around the various rooms, as if looking for something.
"Mom, what are you looking for?"
Cheng Song followed behind him.
"Find those guys who get radiation."
As Mom spoke, she searched everywhere, even rummaging through things with her hands.
Cheng Song's vision went black; he knew his mother had been fooled by those "experts."
"It's not installed yet, the designer isn't coming until tomorrow. Besides, the radiation is all within a controllable range."
Wang Guilan is 54 years old this year. She worked at the Shaoxing Cotton Mill for most of her life. She was laid off 10 years ago and had been helping out at the community neighborhood committee before that.
She is a kind-hearted person who loves to help anyone in need. She is not quick to accept new things, but she is not stubborn either.
She's quite good at using smartphones; she knows how to use WeChat and Alipay.
The reason for such a strong reaction this time is that someone in the old girls' group posted an article:
Smart home radiation poses a significant health hazard; please stay away for your family's health.
After reading it, Wang Guilan forwarded it to the family group chat, and then kept sending messages in the group.
"It seems like Xiao Su wants to install some kind of smart home system. Can you guys help me persuade him to stop?"
Then other elders in the family chimed in, turning various rumors into even more terrifying content.
But Cheng Song didn't pay attention.
He thought his mother was making a fuss over nothing.
His lack of response only made Wang Guilan more anxious, which led to this scene.
"Mom, I've already explained it to you. Those articles are rumors. The radiation from smart home devices is lower than that from mobile phones. There are national standards for this."
"National standards are national standards, but your health is your own responsibility."
Wang Guilan took out her phone from her bag, pulled out the article, and pointed to the results of the expert test.
Do those unscrupulous manufacturers really comply with national standards?
Look, experts measured the electromagnetic radiation of the smart central control screen at close range to be 12 volts per meter, which is twice the national standard.
Long-term exposure may cause headaches, insomnia, and memory loss.
"That's fake. Transsion has already issued a statement to refute the rumors. The detector in that video has been tampered with."
Moreover, their video contains the results of national testing, and that expert has already been sued.
Wang Guilan shook her head, then stuffed her phone into her bag with a look of disgust.
"How could the tests done by people in white coats in the lab be fake?"
Moreover, those national standards and such are all fake; I heard that manufacturers can pass the tests as long as they pay money.
Cheng Song shut his mouth. The generation gap between him and his mother couldn't be bridged by a clarification announcement.
Moreover, he felt that these old people were really something else. They didn't believe the official documents issued by the government, but insisted on believing the tests posted by those so-called experts on the Internet.
So he unleashed his ultimate move.
"Mom, I've already paid the deposit."
20% of the order.
To make sure his mother had no recollection of the price, he gave her an accurate figure.
"You'll need to save up 4 yuan for two years..."
Wang Guilan immediately glared at him angrily: "Why are you in such a hurry? That's 4 yuan! How can I not discuss it with my family first!"
Is it really impossible to get it back?
"The contract states that if you give up for your own reasons, the deposit will not be refunded."
"Didn't they say they hadn't come to our door yet? They haven't even started production."
Cheng Song didn't speak, he just shook his head.
"Listen to Mom, forget about the 4 yuan. Your health is more important. Also, don't buy their products again. These unscrupulous manufacturers should go bankrupt."
"mom!"
Cheng Song was at his wit's end. He had even offered 4 yuan, but his mother still...
It seems these experts are indeed capable.
Wang Guilan showed no sign of backing down, and she took out her phone again.
"You should take a good look at that article."
It says that smart homes are full of WiFi and Bluetooth sensors. Although Mom doesn't know what these technologies are, the experts say it's like living in a microwave oven.
Your father passed away early, and you are my only son. What should I do if you have any health problems?
"When I go downstairs, how am I supposed to tell your dad?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Song immediately ran to the small bedroom. Faced with his mother's tight rein on him, he could only flee first.
"Mom, I've made an appointment with the designer to come and take measurements tomorrow morning. Don't rush me; let me talk to the designer first, then you can decide, okay?"
