Chapter 3699: The Horrifying Gutter Oil

Lin Feng went to Beijing and found Mr. W directly (no choice, temporarily crackdown, bear with it, friends!). レm♦思♦路♦客レ

"Sir, what happened?" Lin Feng was very curious.

Mr. W shook his head and sighed.

"Xiao Lin, did you create a food program called 'Feng Shen Sees China' before?" Mr. W asked.

Lin Feng nodded. He did create this program himself, what's wrong? Did something happen? This should be a good thing. This is mainly about introducing delicacies from all over China. China is vast and has a long history of food culture. It is known as the world's two major food cultures together with French cuisine. Is there any problem with this?

However, Lin Feng has been a little busy recently. This program is handed over to 'Feng Shen Catering Co., Ltd.' by Lin Feng, and this company currently only has 'Qidian Fast Food Restaurant'. Of course, it has been officially renamed 'Feng Shen Chinese Cuisine' at the suggestion of Su Xiaomei, the former president of 'Qidian Fast Food Restaurant'. At present, 'Feng Shen Chinese Cuisine' is undergoing comprehensive adjustments. The original plan was to use only three months of adjustment period, but then Su Xiaomei took the lead and asked the entire company to adjust for half a year and renovate.

Of course, this was extremely costly, especially since all of it was fully funded by ‘Fengshen Chinese Cuisine’ and franchise stores were rejected. Therefore, at first, Su Xiaomei only planned to set up flagship stores in China’s first-tier cities and did not plan to roll out the stores in full for the time being. To avoid the company suffering huge losses due to too large a stall.

In addition to ‘Fengshen Chinese Cuisine’, another flagship product of ‘Fengshen Catering Co., Ltd.’ is ‘Fengshen Sees China’, which introduces Chinese cuisine to the world through its official website. It is a program that was first released online, but the copyright can also be sold to TV stations. In the program, it mainly introduces food from all over China and some things related to food. As for which ones, it depends on the people who were selected as the best Chinese diners in the national audition to dig. Lin Feng equipped them with the best off-road vehicles and RVs. Let them go to all parts of the country to dig out Chinese food.

This, is there any problem now?

"Well, this is the first-hand information we got. Your company has signed broadcasting agreements with several TV stations. But we have temporarily suspended it." Mr. W said.

Suspended? Lin Feng frowned. This made Lin Feng very unhappy. He made a food program, but it was also banned by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. What does this mean? Of course, since Mr. W called him and talked to him in person, it shows that he still respects him. Lin Feng just suppressed his dissatisfaction.

"Sir, is there anything wrong? Why do you want to suspend it?" Lin Feng asked with a breath.

Mr. W sighed.

Fortunately, the leaders of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television were not asked to talk to Lin Feng. Otherwise, this kid would have to slam the table in the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. Shaking his head, the gentleman turned on the video switch in front of him helplessly, and the content of the first episode of "Feng Shen Looks at China" that was temporarily suspended appeared on the projection screen opposite.

Lin Feng also calmed down and watched it. He wanted to watch the first episode of "Feng Shen Looks at China". Why was it banned? Why!

"Hello everyone, this is 'Feng Shen Sees China', which was invested and founded by Feng Shen, the idol of all Chinese people. Why did Feng Shen invest in this program? It is to introduce Chinese food to the world. And the first issue is naturally the top priority. But in this first issue, we are not going to introduce you to Chinese food, but a disaster in the Chinese catering industry!" The host's speech is not standard, with a strong local accent, but fortunately the outside world can still hear it clearly. After all, they are not professional hosts, but diners who go to various places to dig for food. And this is also what Lin Feng requires. Because the host can certainly control the whole scene well, but there is no original flavor, no impulse to make people feast on it.

For example, at this moment. Although the words of this diner and host are a little difficult to understand, his expression, tone, and the kind of heartache. It attracted Lin Feng's attention. The disaster from the Chinese catering industry, what is this? Lin Feng suddenly became curious. Maybe it exposed the dark side of the catering industry? What kind of dark side. Will the country directly ban it? This is very curious! Lin Feng was very curious!

Mr. W shook his head. You can tell from his expression that he was excited. This guy is really not reassuring.

"What is the disaster in the food industry? Before I reveal the answer, I first want to ask all the viewers in front of the TV, what is the most indispensable thing for cooking in your daily life?" the host asked.

Lin Feng doesn't make fire, but he also knows some basic things. Salt? Soy sauce? Garlic? Or something else?

"In our daily diet, the most indispensable thing should be salt, but what else?" This time the host didn't keep the secret anymore and directly revealed the answer, "That's cooking oil!"

Cooking oil! A word immediately popped up in Lin Feng's mind - gutter oil!

Gutter oil, in Lin Feng's memory, it once shocked all Chinese people. At first, all Chinese people didn't know what gutter oil was. Even though Lin Feng once reported that the oil used by KFC and McDonald's was recycled oil in the early 2000s, it didn't attract the attention of all Chinese people. Including Lin Feng himself, it was a marketing trick used to promote his own "Starting Point Fast Food Restaurant". Therefore, Lin Feng had never realized the existence of gutter oil. Until this moment, when Lin Feng heard about edible oil, he remembered it.

In Lin Feng's memory, the discovery of gutter oil should be in 2009. Villagers in a certain village always smelled a foul odor. They reported it to the police because they were afraid that something like death would happen. After the police were called, they were shocked when they arrived. No one died at the scene, and the stench was not emitted by the dead, but a big pot. There were all kinds of sewage in the pot, and there were all kinds of dregs in it. It looked disgusting and smelled almost nauseating. After that, several workers were taken to the police station for questioning, and they found out that they were using gutter oil to refine it into edible oil and then sell it.

With such a disgusting refining environment, how can the sanitation situation be optimistic? After some research institutes studied it, if these gutter oils are consumed for a long time, people will get cancer. What's more serious is that if you get cancer, you don't know the exact reason, and there is no means to treat it. This is the origin of the so-called difficult and complicated diseases. After that, gutter oil was found in more and more places. Finally, it was upgraded to a nationwide crackdown on gutter oil.

Since the country will crack down on it in the future, why did they ban this program this time?

"Xiao Lin, you will know if you keep watching!" Mr. Wen sighed.

Lin Feng continued to watch and understood why it was banned.

First, this program is too straightforward. It directly recorded the manufacturing environment of these oils. It looks disgusting and makes Lin Feng want to vomit. If it is broadcast, it will probably shock the people of the whole country.

Second, due to Lin Feng's investment. These people visited many locations across the country. Among the lists listed in their programs, almost all provinces and cities in the country have a share. In other words, all Chinese people are shrouded in the haze of gutter oil. This will cause great panic.

Third, it is also the most controversial one. These hosts directly interviewed many restaurants and told their managers that they might use gutter oil products and described the harm of gutter oil in detail. But the managers of these restaurants either disdained it. Or they were perfunctory, and none of them took it seriously. This will cause a second panic and hit the catering industry across the country.

Fourth, these hosts secretly filmed and interviewed some food safety officials, but the officials' answers were very high-sounding. They said they would investigate after receiving the report, which was a typical case of "the people don't report, the officials don't investigate". If this is broadcasted, it will cause a sensation, you can imagine.

Fifth, some domestic edible oil companies also blended these gutter oils. And these private things were completely bribed by these hosts. They went in and secretly filmed. This is very serious, very serious!

"Xiao Lin, if it is broadcasted like this, the sensational effect it will bring, I think you should be very clear. This will cause a full panic!" Mr. W said helplessly, "So, we decided to temporarily suspend the broadcast, deal with it first, and then broadcast it. And some of the content, I hope to make some necessary deletions."

Lin Feng frowned. This program is very explosive, Lin Feng thinks it is very good. There is no place that needs to be deleted, and no place should be deleted. This will attract the attention of the people across the country if it is broadcasted directly. Otherwise, if we continue to eat gutter oil for a few more years, there will be more young Chinese people suffering from strange diseases. In Lin Feng's memory, a few years later, the probability of Chinese young people dying of illness has greatly increased, and they are all some strange diseases, cancer.

Among them, it must be said that gutter oil is the main cause.

"Sir, I think that broadcasting it like this can attract the attention of the Chinese people. As for the faces of those officials, isn't it a good opportunity to knock these officials! If everything is hidden and covered, the final result will be to help the tyrants!" Lin Feng said seriously.

Mr. Wen was almost amused by Lin Feng. This guy even helped the tyrants. How, did he become King Zhou? This kid really dares to say anything. He is not afraid of making himself angry.

"But you have to know that this broadcast will be known to the whole world, which will have a huge impact on China's catering industry. And I am worried that it will affect the panic of the citizens and cause some unnecessary chaos!" Mr. W said.

Lin Feng rolled his eyes directly.

"Sir, I think you have too many concerns. In this situation, there will be no panic. As long as you hit these scumbags of gutter oil and some officials who do not take action, the people will definitely applaud. You really have too many concerns! I think it's best to kill a group of them!" Lin Feng suggested.

Mr. W was almost knocked on the table by Lin Feng.

"Xiao Lin, do you know who is the leader in the domestic edible oil market now?" Mr. W asked.

Lin Feng thought about it and spit out a name - Golden Dragon Fish. This brand is well-known.

"Then do you know which country Golden Dragon Fish is from?" Mr. W asked.

Lin Feng shrugged. How could he know this? He is not in the catering industry, how can he know. Even if he is reborn, he will not care about this.

Mr. W exhaled and introduced Lin Feng.

Golden Dragon Fish Oil sounds like a very Chinese name, but it is not a Chinese edible oil, but a famous grain and oil brand under the Fortune 500 company Wilmar International. And where is this Wilmar International? Singapore! In other words, Golden Dragon Fish is a foreign brand. There is no joint venture at all. It is a genuine foreign brand. And now this foreign brand occupies more than 70% of the market share of Chinese edible oil. It is a household name in China. No brand exceeds it.

"If you publish this program, most of the edible oil factories in China will collapse, because Golden Dragon Fish is indeed not cheating. By then, its market share will not be more than 70%, but 90%, or even more. Do you think this result is acceptable? Our country is a country that uses a lot of edible oil. If this is occupied by foreign brands, what about our national brands?" Mr. W asked.

Lin Feng pinched his chin. This is something Lin Feng had never thought about. If so, it would be a success for Golden Dragon Fish. Singaporean brands, this, now in the Chinese food industry, almost many brands are occupied by foreign brands, which is indeed not a good thing. Although foreign companies have brought advanced management concepts and technologies, it is not a good thing for a country's food to be completely occupied by foreign countries.

It doesn't matter now in peacetime. Once a war breaks out, foreign forces will directly cut off all supply chains, and the country will collapse directly. At least for a period of time, the lives of the people will fall into chaos. At that time, how can this war be fought?

Although these foreign companies may not all have this idea, they can't help but be on guard!

"So, Xiaolin, do you know our difficulties!" Mr. W said.

Lin Feng thought about it and stood up.

"Sir, I have thought about it and have an idea." Lin Feng said sincerely.

Oh! Mr. W was surprised. Lin Feng is a stubborn guy. It is not easy to convince this kid. But it is not worth it to provoke him. After all, the other party is right, and Lin Feng is for the health of the people of the country. It is really not good to treat him with too tough an attitude on my side.

"Well, my decision is that the TV station will not broadcast it, and it will be broadcast online instead!" Lin Feng said.

"Xiao Lin, are you kidding me?" Mr. W was angry. He rarely got angry, especially towards Lin Feng, a junior he was very optimistic about, but today he was really angry. This kid was just kidding himself! The TV station won't broadcast it, but it will be broadcast online, isn't that the same!
