Group buying in online community: a new way of shopping

The picture comes from the Internet.

  "A box of fresh free range eggs 55 yuan, a piece of Pizza Hut steak 23 yuan, and a bag of pasta 17 yuan." On October 26, as soon as the group announcement of "Head of Mission" was released, the residents in the WeChat group responded quickly. In just a few minutes, the buyers had already picked up the long queue.
  Simple purchase, timely delivery, time-saving and labor-saving … As a new online shopping mode, online community group purchase is mainly carried out through the way that community residents buy online orders and then deliver them to the community in a unified way, which can not only help reduce logistics costs, but also help consumers avoid "difficulty in choosing" and effectively improve shopping efficiency.

Socialization and group buying win-win situation

  "The group dish group in our community was established last year by the elder sister who opened the laundry in the community. At that time, many people in the community organized dishes at his place. The group purchase price was cheap and the dishes were very fresh." Ms. Zhao, a citizen of Taiyuan, said that at first group buying was for convenience, and now it has gradually become a habit.
  In fact, the emergence of online community group buying has already changed people’s traditional consumption concept. The "team leader" posted a message in the group, and the user placed an order in advance as needed, and it could be delivered for delivery the next day. Through group buying, community residents can get goods at lower prices, and at the same time avoid the time and energy needed to go shopping in supermarkets.
  "Neighbors in the community often bask in the fresh dishes bought by the group. Everyone exchanges and interacts together, which not only brings the neighborhood closer, but also allows everyone to have a more intuitive understanding of the items bought by the group, because everyone is familiar with each other, which is different from the kind that is praised by online stores, and can help everyone avoid the pit more effectively." Ms. Zhao said that with the accelerated pace of life, like most young people, they are increasingly choosing online shopping, especially for food and daily necessities, and more consideration is given to price and delivery time.
  Obviously, social communication is an important driving force of community group buying, which can effectively expand the influence of group buying and attract more users to participate. But at the same time, social communication also faces some challenges, such as information overload, user loss, trust problems and so on.

Supervision and self-discipline go hand in hand.

  With the growing prosperity of the online community group buying market, large-scale e-commerce platforms and various new players are accelerating their entry, making the community group buying market more dispersed and diversified. For the residents of the community, some of the "heads" are familiar neighbors, but more are strangers.
  "Sometimes other people in the group don’t know what link to send, and it’s either a group buying applet or a stranger’s online shop." Ms. Zhao said that she chose to be trustworthy when buying a group. Instead of shopping in an unknown small program, she might as well place an order on big platforms such as JD.COM and Taobao.
  In fact, there are not a few people who step on the pit in online community group buying. A series of problems, such as false propaganda, substandard goods and shoddy goods, have also caused many consumers a headache. A few days ago, a case involving "community group buying" announced by the General Administration of Market Supervision said that in March this year, because the operator of a food store falsely exaggerated the function of disease prevention and treatment for ordinary food, it induced consumers to buy it, and was finally made by the local market supervision department. Administrative punishment was imposed and the final fine was 125,000 yuan.
  Is the group purchase activity reported? Where does the supply come from? Is delivery and refund guaranteed? ….. Faced with these problems, Shanxi Provincial Market Supervision Bureau issued "Guiding Opinions on Standardizing Group Buying Operation Behavior in Online Communities" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"), aiming at the group buying operation behavior in online communities, promoting the supervision mode of fair competition in online markets, realizing the whole chain, all fields and normalization supervision before and after the event, and promoting the healthy and sustainable development of group buying standardization in online communities.
  In terms of the prohibition of group buying in online communities, the Opinions clearly pointed out that unfair price behaviors such as low-price dumping, price collusion, price gouging and price fraud should not be implemented, and monopolistic behaviors should not be illegally implemented through monopoly agreements, abuse of market dominance, and illegal concentration of operators; Do not engage in acts of unfair competition such as commercial confusion, commercial slander, and speculation, which will endanger the market environment of fair competition; Do not deceive or mislead consumers in a false or misleading way.
  Lawyer Liang Yi of Shanxi Shuoming Law Firm reminds consumers that the formal platform is guaranteed in terms of goods quality, distribution and after-sales, and priority should be given to the community group purchase package organized by the formal network platform. Once the "head" is lost, goods are delayed for a long time, product quality problems, etc., relevant evidence materials will be provided to public security organs, market supervision and other departments in time to protect their legitimate rights and interests to the greatest extent. At the same time, it also warns merchants of group buying platforms that they must conscientiously abide by the E-commerce Law, the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Online Transactions and other laws and regulations, and strengthen industry self-discipline, otherwise, they will face severe punishment.

Expand new channels of consumption

  In recent years, new consumption channels, such as online shopping, live delivery and community group buying, have risen rapidly, bringing huge business opportunities to the retail industry. In the first 10 months of this year, the online retail sales of physical goods nationwide increased by 8.4% year-on-year, accounting for 26.7% of the total retail sales of social consumer goods. The rise of new consumption channels is of great significance to promoting the recovery and development of physical retail industry.
  Online and offline exploration attempts have promoted the rise of new consumption channels. During the epidemic, more and more consumers gradually became familiar with and accepted consumption patterns such as instant retail and community group purchase. The new consumption channel provides consumers with a more convenient and personalized shopping experience, which not only reduces the shopping cost, but also meets diversified needs, and also urges online and offline businesses to move from competition to cooperation to achieve a win-win situation online and offline.
  On the one hand, new consumption channels have expanded the boundaries of the retail market. The traditional retail market is limited by geographical location and time, but the new consumption channels have broken these restrictions, allowing consumers to shop anytime and anywhere. This makes the retail market cover a wider range of consumer groups and provide more sales opportunities. Take instant retailing as an example. Consumers place orders on the online trading platform, and offline physical retailers take orders. From picking, packaging and delivery to door-to-door, it is basically completed within one hour, thus achieving the goal of "relying on local retail supply to meet local instant demand".
  On the other hand, new consumption channels have promoted the digital transformation of retail industry. In order to adapt to the development of new consumption channels, retailers have increased their investment in digital technology and promoted the digital transformation of the industry. Digital transformation not only improves the operational efficiency of retailers, but also provides consumers with a more convenient and intelligent shopping experience. With the help of online platform, entities can expand their sales channels, and at the same time, the sales data precipitated by online platform can help entities to operate more finely.
  We should also see that the rise of new consumption channels has also brought challenges to the retail industry. Not only is the competition increasingly fierce, but it also puts forward higher requirements for retailers’ data capabilities and supply chain management capabilities. In this regard, the retail industry should actively respond, seize new opportunities and meet challenges.
  Strengthen the research on new consumption channels, deeply understand consumers’ needs and shopping habits, and provide strong support for the development of new consumption channels. Facing the omni-channel competition brought by "embracing online", entity enterprises should use online to develop business, maintain and expand new consumer groups, reduce the cost of commodity distribution, and realize online and offline two-way drainage.
  Increase investment in digital technology and promote the in-depth development of digital transformation. Through digital technology to improve operational efficiency, optimize shopping experience, and provide consumers with more convenient and intelligent services. Online enterprises are not simply "1+1" with physical enterprises. They should use big data intelligent recommendation to achieve accurate matching between supply and demand, and constantly strengthen the capabilities of enterprise traffic support, marketing and digital systems to meet the diversified needs of consumers.
  Strengthen supply chain management and improve the flexibility and response speed of supply chain. Strengthen cooperation with suppliers to ensure product supply and inventory balance.
  New consumption channels have also played an important role in consumption expansion, industry innovation and social employment. Retail industry should seize new opportunities, continuously expand and make good use of new consumption channels by strengthening research, increasing investment and strengthening cooperation, so as to promote the consumer market to better meet consumers’ needs with richer and more more innovative business models and consumer goods, and stimulate new consumption.

The West Lake Scenic Area once again responded to the "high-priced mobile phone fishing incident": self-directed and self-directed commercial promotion.

  On May 4th, Hangzhou West Lake Water Management Office once again responded to the "high-priced mobile phone fishing incident": after investigation, the online video "The mobile phone fell into the West Lake, and the fishermen demanded to pay a high salvage fee" was a self-directed commercial promotion.

The two giants in the Premier League compete for it! 27-year-old star wants to go: 68 games with 32 goals, priced at 80 million.

The 27-year-old Ivan Toni is once again caught in a transfer rumor. On November 1st, the British Evening Standard revealed that Chelsea and Arsenal, the two giants in the Premier League, are competing and hope to sign Tony in January next year. Brentford offered Tony a price of 80 million pounds, and the players sought to leave the team and play for a better club.

There is no doubt about Ivan Tony’s ability. In the Premier League in 2022-23, Tony scored 20 goals, ranking third in the top scorer list, only behind Harland (36 goals) and Kane (28 goals). During his Premier League career, Tony scored 32 goals in 68 games, and his efficiency was not bad. However, Tony got into big trouble: he bet on a football match, was banned by the FA for eight months, and will be released on January 17th next year.

The Evening Standard pointed out that brentford was willing to sell Ivan Toni for 80 million pounds. Objectively speaking, this price tag is somewhat inflated: Tony’s contract is only one and a half years, the player’s valuation in Germany is 30 million pounds, and he has not played a formal game for half a year.

There is no room for a big bodhisattva in a small temple. For his future, Ivan Tony is very clear: he wants to leave brentford and go to an "elite club". To this end, Ivan Toni also changed his agent and let Banert (who used to be Bell’s agent) handle his own transfer.

According to the analysis of the Evening Standard, both Arsenal and Chelsea intend to make moves in January next year:

Arsenal’s goal is still to compete for the Premier League title. If a scorer with 10 goals in the middle of the game is introduced in January, it will be of great help to the championship. Although Arsenal have Jesus and Nketiya, they are not prolific centers. Arsenal manager Artta appreciates Ivan Toni’s scoring ability. This summer, Arsenal spent 200 million pounds to bring in Tony in the winter window. The Gunners need to sell players to raise funds first.

Chelsea, with deep pockets, also intends to supplement the front line. Chelsea spent 1 billion pounds, completely overthrown and rebuilt, and there was not much improvement. This season, the Premier League only scored 12 points in 10 games and scored only 1.3 goals per game. In January next year, Jackson will play in the African Cup of Nations. Chelsea, which was originally weak in attack, needs Tony’s help.

Tony, who returned from the ban in January, hopes to complete the transfer in the winter window, seize the opportunity of half a year, strive for more goals, win the trust of English coach southgate and be selected for the European Cup 2024. As an excellent striker in the Premier League, Tony has only played for England once, which is not in line with his strength.

High temperature ravages the whole world: high temperature occurs frequently in the northeast, and the melting of sea ice at 30℃ in the Arctic Circle in Sweden is accelerated.

Northeast continues to "steam sauna" 

On August 1st, the high temperature occurred in Shenyang, Liaoning Province for the fifth consecutive day. The highest temperatures in Dandong and Dalian reached 37.3℃ and 36.9℃ respectively, setting a meteorological record for extreme values. At the same time, the highest temperature in Shenyang today may reach 37℃, which will set a new record for the local extreme highest temperature in August (the previous record was 35.7℃).

Liaoning suffered the strongest regional high temperature since 1961.

In addition, with the continuous expansion of high temperature, the temperature in Changchun may reach 36℃ on the 3rd, which will not only set a new high this year, but also become the hottest day in the local observation history in August. The high temperature in Changchun in August is very rare, and there has been only one high temperature on August 3, 1968 since it was recorded in 1951.

The temperature in North China is also constant.

In addition to the northeast, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and northern Shandong will also have high temperatures in the next three days, and the highest temperatures in Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang and Jinan will remain at 35 C or above.

On the 1st, Beijing spent the 17th high-temperature day this year, which was the same as last year’s high-temperature days, and it was seven days short of the 24 high-temperature days recorded in 2000. Monitoring shows that the highest temperature in the observatory in the southern suburbs reaches 37℃, and that in Fengtai reaches 38.3℃.

Affected by the continuous high temperature, as of 12: 30 on the 1st, the load of Beijing power grid has reached 23.064 million kilowatts, exceeding the 22.675 million kilowatts on July 31st, reaching a new high.

The temperature in North China is high during the day and not low at night, and the lowest temperature is mostly above 26℃, and Tianjin will exceed 28℃. Moreover, due to the high relative humidity, the somatosensory temperature is higher, and the sultry feeling is not inferior to that in the south.

The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that in five days, the hot weather in the above-mentioned areas in the north will end. This round of high-temperature weather lasts for a long time, and the high temperature in some areas breaks the extreme value. People in the above areas need to be prepared for heatstroke prevention and cooling, and try to avoid going out at the hottest noon. If they have to go out, they should take sun protection measures and replenish water in time. Outdoor workers prepare some heatstroke prevention drugs for emergencies.

The high temperature area in the south has been significantly reduced, and it has made a comeback since the 4 th

For many places in the south that have been suffering from high temperature for nearly half a month, they will enjoy a short coolness in the past two days. Affected by a wide range of rain and the wind and rain brought by the typhoon "Lark", the high temperature area in the south will continue to shrink in the past two days.

On the 2 nd, the western and southern parts of Jiangnan and most of southern China withdrew from the high temperature. On the 3rd, only parts of northern Chongqing, northeastern Hubei and northwestern Jiangxi still have a small range of high temperatures, and the rest areas will basically end the high temperatures temporarily. In the area of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, the highest temperature in many places dropped to around 30℃.

Although the high temperature in the south has shrunk, the highest temperature in many places is still around 33℃, and the sultry feeling will continue. At the same time, the cooling time is very short. Starting from the 4th, the high temperature in the south will return strongly. At present, it is in the middle of the sky, and high temperature is the main theme. People in the southern region need to continue to prepare for heatstroke prevention and cooling.

The World Meteorological Organization issued statements on July 26th and 27th, respectively, saying that extreme weather events such as high temperature, drought and catastrophic precipitation occurred one after another in many places around the world, among which drought and high temperature also aggravated the wildfire disaster in the northern hemisphere. These extreme weather have brought great adverse effects on human health, agriculture and ecosystem.

It’s hot in the North Pole, too! Rare high temperature in Arctic Circle

From June to July this year, the temperature in many places around the world, including the Arctic Circle, generally rose, resulting in extremely hot weather.

Recently, the temperature in the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden once reached 30℃. In northern Siberia, the temperature reached 32℃ at the beginning of this month. In the same period of last year, the average temperature in this area was only 10℃.

According to the monitoring data of the National Snow and Ice Data Center of the United States, the abnormal high temperature further aggravated the sea ice melting phenomenon in the Arctic Circle this summer, and the sea ice in the northern European coast and northwestern Russia has shown an abnormally low trend. The decrease of sea ice will not only threaten the survival of polar bears and other creatures, but also further aggravate the abnormal weather in the northern hemisphere.

Europe suffers from high temperature and drought.

In addition to western Europe and southern Europe, which suffer from heat waves, northern Europe is also experiencing continuous high temperatures. In July, the temperature in the Arctic Circle reached 30℃. On July 17th, the temperature in parts of Norway reached a record 33.5℃. Due to the unusually dry and warm climate, forest fire risks in Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea continue to rise. There were about 50 forest fires in Sweden in mid-July. The World Meteorological Organization predicts that the temperature in northern Europe will be 3℃ to 6℃ higher than that in the same period of last year.

The temperature in Sweden reached 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius) in July, and there were more than 50 forest fires, of which more than 10 occurred in the Arctic Circle. (Source: Beijing News)

There are high temperatures above 30℃ in many places in Britain, even as high as 38℃. In addition, the weather in Britain is extremely dry. By the end of July, there was no rain in many places in Britain for nearly two months, and the rainfall was only 47 mm after the summer, making it the driest summer in the past 57 years. According to the statistics of the British medical department, thousands of people died of diseases related to high temperature this summer.

The Asian heat wave struck, and many people died in Japan, South Korea and other countries.

Japan has recently been hit by a heat wave after the worst rainstorm and flood in decades. Due to the control of a wide range of high pressure, the temperature in Japan has repeatedly set a new record. On July 15th, the highest temperature of 200 meteorological observation stations of Japan Meteorological Agency exceeded 35℃. On July 23rd, the highest temperature of 41.1℃ was observed in Kumagaya, saitama, and high temperatures exceeding 40℃ were also observed in Qingmei City, Tokyo, Jiafu City, Yamanashi Prefecture and Tojima City, Gifu Prefecture. According to the statistics of Kyodo News Agency, from July 16 to 25, more than 22,000 people in Japan were sent to hospital for heatstroke, of which 78 people died of heatstroke.

South Korea’s extensive high-temperature weather continued, and the Korea Meteorological Agency issued a high-temperature warning for several days. Statistics from the Korea Disease Management Headquarters from May 20th to July 21st showed that there were 1043 people suffering from heatstroke, up 61% year-on-year. More than ten people have died of heatstroke this year. The South Korean government is considering classifying extreme heat as the same category of natural disasters as typhoons, floods, tsunamis and earthquakes.

According to the news from the Central Meteorological Observatory of North Korea, high temperature began to appear in North Korea on July 15th, and the scope gradually expanded. On July 22nd, the average highest temperature in North Korea reached 34.6℃, 7.2℃ higher than in previous years, the highest temperature since 1981. Among them, the average temperature in several big cities is higher than 39℃, and Yuanshan City has reached.

The high temperature in Africa and North America is over 50℃ in some areas.

At the beginning of July, several North African countries also experienced heat waves. On July 5th, the highest temperature in Valgra in the Sahara Desert of Algeria reached 51.3℃. According to the World Meteorological Organization, this is the highest temperature since Algeria has reliable temperature records. On July 3, Morocco monitored a high temperature of 43.4℃.

At the same time, North America has not been spared. California suffered a record high temperature, and the highest temperature records in many cities were refreshed. Death Valley National Park in California, which set a record for the highest temperature in the world at 56.7℃ in July 1913, has observed a high temperature of 52℃ on July 8 this year. The highest temperature in Chino, a suburb of Los Angeles, reached a record 48.9℃. In Quebec, Canada, hot and humid weather caused dozens of deaths, including the elderly and the vulnerable.

On July 6, 2018, California, USA, a heat wave of 48℃ swept through southern California, and the heat index off the charts set a new record. People gathered in Huntington Beach to play in the water to cool off the heat. (Source: Oriental IC)

High temperature and drought aggravate wildfire disaster in the northern hemisphere

According to a statement issued by the World Meteorological Organization on July 27th, many serious wildfires have occurred in Siberia, Sweden, Greece, the United States, Canada and other places since the summer of this year due to high temperature and drought, and the fire area is still increasing.

According to the monitoring data of Fengyun-3 D star on July 29th, there were two fire spots in Murmansk region in northwest Russia, both located along the Arctic Ocean and in the Arctic Circle. The influence area of the two fires is 4 square kilometers, and the area of naked fire is 0.1 hectares. (Source: National Satellite Meteorological Center)

The warming rate in the northern hemisphere is faster than the global level, and the high temperature and drought make the forest more dry and flammable. Studies have found that forests in the northern hemisphere are burning at a speed that has not been seen in at least nearly 10 thousand years. Wildfires release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, further aggravating global warming.

Extreme weather is frequent or due to climate warming

Recently, in addition to high temperature, other abnormal weather events have also appeared frequently. For example, at the end of June, snow fell in Newfoundland and parts of Cape Breton in eastern Canada, with a thickness of about two centimeters. The temperature in St. John and Halifax is only MINUS 1℃, breaking the record of low temperature. Such weather is rare, and it is the first time since 1996.

Why does extreme weather ravage the world? The World Meteorological Organization believes that frequent extreme weather is related to climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Although it is difficult to simply attribute the frequent occurrence of extreme weather in the past two months to climate change caused by human activities, in the long run, the trend of extreme high temperature and increasing precipitation is undoubtedly caused by climate change.

"2018 will be one of the hottest years on record, and it is not surprising that temperatures in many countries have broken records. At present, the heat wave and extreme high temperature events we are experiencing are consistent with the results we expected from climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions. This situation is not going to happen in the future, but a scene that is being experienced at all times. " Elena Monankova, Deputy Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization, said.

In northern Siberia, along the coast of the Arctic Ocean, model analysis shows that a high temperature of over 90 degrees Fahrenheit appeared on July 5, 40 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the normal temperature. In Ouargla, Algeria, the temperature reached 124.3 degrees Fahrenheit (51.3 degrees Celsius), breaking the previous African high temperature record of 123.3 degrees Fahrenheit (50.7 degrees Celsius).

Volvo just bought half a month’s car paint, and it bulges in many places. 4S shop: The reason has not been found out yet.

  Half a month after the arrival of the new car with a price of 360,000 yuan, there were many bulges in the paint of the whole car. Recently, Ms. Yang, the owner of Suzhou, was caught in a long dispute because of the quality problem of the new car. She told The Paper that after the incident, the 4S shop tested the car many times, and the test results changed again and again. So far, an authoritative test report has not been given, and she asked the 4S shop to return the car, which was also rejected.

  In this regard, on November 19, a relevant person in charge of Suzhou Zhongsheng Wohao Automobile Sales Co., Ltd., a 4S shop involved, said that the reason for the bulging of automobile paint has not yet been ascertained, but according to the national automobile three-guarantee policy, it has not yet reached the standard of returning cars, and only the bulging position of automobiles can be repaired.

  The staff of Volvo Car Customer Service Center didn’t respond to the quality problem of car paint, saying that if there is a problem with the car, the customer needs to negotiate with the dealer to solve it. Whether to return the car or not will be judged according to the national car three-guarantee policy and process.

  There is a quality problem in picking up the car for half a month, and the change of car is rejected.

  In August this year, Ms. Yang bought a new Volvo xc60 car in Suzhou Zhongsheng Wohao Automobile Sales 4S Store, and the landing price was about 360,000 yuan. However, half a month after picking up the car, Ms. Yang found that there was a problem with the car paint. "First, there was a bulge in some parts of the car. At that time, I thought it was glued, so I didn’t care much."

The small drum bag appeared in the car. The pictures in this article are provided by the respondents.

  The real problem was found at the end of September this year, when Ms. Yang sent her new car to a car wash shop for cleaning. She told The Paper that during the cleaning, the car wash master told her in confusion, "This car looks like a new car. Why are there so many bulges on the body?" Under the reminder of the car wash master, Ms. Yang found that those places that looked like "sticky dirt" were originally small bags that were raised one by one. These small bags appeared in many places in the whole car, and some small bags were densely connected together, making the car look like "acne" and the surface was uneven.

There are hundreds of bulges in the whole car paint.

  A mechanic told The Paper that the problem of bulging of automobile paint surface generally appeared in older cars. "For example, if the primer was sprayed with topcoat before it was dry, such a problem would easily occur. However, the new car has not been seen before, and the painting of the new car before leaving the factory is computerized, which is unlikely to happen. " He said that if the bulging problem is not dealt with in time, the area will gradually expand, which may eventually lead to the paint falling off in many places.

  At the beginning of October, Ms. Yang drove the car to Suzhou Zhongsheng Wohao Automobile Sales and Sales 4S shop for testing. She told The Paper that the technicians polished the bulging parts of many car paints, and did not solve the problem of bulging. "At that time, the technicians said that this was not an external (paint) problem, but an internal problem."

  Ms. Yang said that she asked for a car change on the spot, and the 4S shop also said that it would not shirk its responsibility. In the live recording provided by Ms. Yang, it can be heard that the staff of the 4S store said that "they will not shirk their responsibilities". In the recording, Ms. Yang’s lover mentioned that "these points are bulging from the inside, and now they are all cobwebs". The staff of the 4S store also agreed and repeatedly admitted that they can take responsibility on behalf of the manufacturers.

  At the end of October, the 4S shop contacted Ms. Yang again to test the car to determine whether the car was self-painted. Ms. Yang said that after the on-site painter’s appraisal, it was determined that the car had no traces of self-painting. "At that time, we also put forward the demand of changing cars. The 4S shop said that it would bear the responsibility, but we still need to wait for the appraisal results of Volvo manufacturers."

  At the end of November, under the remote guidance of Volvo factory technicians, the 4S shop tested the car for the third time. "The manufacturer first asked for polishing to see if these bulges were stuck on it, but polishing did not solve the problem. On the spot, the staff of the 4S shop repeatedly told the manufacturer that this was an internal problem, not an external one." Ms. Yang said that after the polishing failed, the manufacturer’s technicians proposed to cut the paint surface of the bulging part for inspection. However, after cutting the bulging part to the white metal layer, there were still problems. "At that time, the technicians of the 4S shop told us that there was a problem with the primer, which led to the bulging of the paint surface. If there is a problem with the primer, it can be said that the problem lies before the car leaves the factory. "

  Ms. Yang told The Paper that the staff of the on-site 4S shop said that the test report issued by Volvo manufacturers would be available the next day after the test, and the solution would be determined according to the test report. However, since then, Ms. Yang has repeatedly urged that the 4S store always responded with "the manufacturer has not provided it yet, and we will follow up".

  On November 16, Ms. Yang called the 4S shop again, and the staff gave the manufacturer’s test conclusion orally. According to the telephone recording provided by Ms. Yang, the staff of the 4S shop said: "Now the analysis is that both the tail and the fender of the car have bulging problems, but the tail and the fender are not painted by a supplier, and both of them have problems. It is initially determined that it is caused by the external environment, not the paint itself."

  This statement made Ms. Yang unacceptable. "After checking for more than a month, the master had already said that there was a problem with the primer. Now, not only did she fail to give a qualitative reason, but she also shirked the responsibility to the external environment?" In addition, Ms. Yang said that she had repeatedly asked for a test report, but none of the 4S stores could provide it.

  4S shop: Why did the car paint bulge appear? The reason has not been found out yet.

  In view of the above situation, on November 19th, The Paper contacted Suzhou Zhongsheng Wohao Automobile Sales 4S Store, and a relevant person in charge of the store said that the specific reason for the problem of Ms. Yang’s car has not been found out yet. "There has never been a problem of new car paint bulging before, and we are now investigating with manufacturers whether it is a production line problem or a paint surface corrosion pollution."

  The person in charge said that in the previous testing process, 4S shop technicians pointed out that it was a problem of primer coating. This was a personal judgment made by the technicians and could not be used as a qualitative reason. Only the testing report issued by the manufacturer could be used as an authoritative report. He said that the reason why the test report was not provided to Ms. Yang was because she was going through the stamping process and could show it after the stamping. If Ms. Yang could not accept the test results at that time, the 4S shop agreed to have the vehicle tested by the Quality Supervision Bureau.

  At present, the 4S store thinks that Ms. Yang’s request for car replacement can’t be satisfied, and said that she has never promised Ms. Yang’s request for car replacement before. "We can deal with the bulging place of the car and let the car drive beautifully on the road, but if it is required to return the car, it has not yet reached the requirements for car replacement in the three-guarantee policy of the car, and we can’t return the car."

  Regarding the 4S shop’s statement, Ms. Yang insisted that she only accepted changing cars or returning cars. "Our new car has problems for half a month. Now there are more than 100 bulging places in the car, which are polished and cut. It is completely unrecognizable. Even if it is painted, the new car looks like a used car." Ms. Yang believes that the problem of bulging is obviously the quality problem of the car itself.

  Is the new car paint bulge a quality defect of the vehicle? The reporter from The Paper called Volvo Car Customer Service Center for many times, but the staff who contacted for many times did not respond for reasons such as "feedback to relevant departments" and "no authority to express their views". Regarding Ms. Yang’s request for car replacement, the staff said that the dealer is a window for direct customer service on behalf of the manufacturer. It is suggested that customers negotiate with the dealer, and whether to return the car or not will be judged according to the national three-guarantee policy and process.

  On November 20th, the reporter from The Paper inquired about the Quality Control Section of Wuzhong District Market Supervision Administration, Suzhou. The staff of this section said that the quality problems of automobiles can be solved according to the automobile three guarantees policy. Regarding the quality problems of the new car proposed by Ms. Yang, the staff said that they would arrange quality inspectors to conduct an investigation and then give a response after the investigation.
