Every reporter Chen Weilin from Shanghai Nokia to have a cargo behavior of the dealers fined a high, yesterday, the dissatisfaction of the Shandong Jinan dealers played a "refused to sell Nokia" Red banner.  Nokia's emergency statement said that some of the dealers ' accusations against Nokia were irresponsible.  Nokia, accustomed to being a "king", may never have thought that the contradictions between themselves and their distributors will intensify to the point of today.  Yesterday happened in Jinan, Shandong, 40 Nokia Dealers high-profile joint refusal to sell Nokia events, I am afraid that the Chinese mobile phone market in the 30 history, the first open, popular and manufacturers dispute. 40 Dealers "bite" "I have not sold Nokia since April, and every month the money earned is not enough to the Nokia pay a fine, such a business does not have to do."  "Yesterday, Jinan Shandong Communications City merchants, engaged in Nokia sales for more than three years Xiachang (alias) on the phone told the Daily economic news, he was iron heart to Nokia to ask a statement," this unclear, the amount of a large fine we do not accept, we request a refund. " Xiachang said "We" refers to including him, Shandong Communications City, all 40 Nokia dealers.  Since yesterday, the 40 Nokia dealers in Shandong Communications City hung out "to protect the interests of consumers, refused to sell Nokia" Red Banner, and to the local media. According to Xiachang, a few days ago, the Nokia dealers in Hangzhou also hung out a banner written "Nokia pays back".  Earlier, in late May, more than 200 Nokia dealers across the country went to a meeting in Changsha, Hunan, to discuss the issue of denouncing Nokia. Xiachang told the Daily Economic news, Changsha's party he did not participate in the action of the Hangzhou counterparts did not inform them beforehand, "is really oppressed for too long."  Our dissatisfaction is the same, without prior contact, we will spontaneously make a similar revolt. Dealers told the "Daily economic news", resulting in their dissatisfaction with Nokia is: First, Nokia to flee the fine amount of goods "too high", dealers generally cannot bear. On behalf of Nokia, the "third party" Nokia fleeing Cargo management Center, which is fined for fleeing the goods, is an unidentified institution with no public information.  Third, the so-called Third-party companies from the discovery of dealers fleeing goods to the dealers to impose high fines, "No invoices", the dealers think "is the Nokia to seek high benefits of the gray means", suspected tax evasion. Nokia urgently issued a "disclaimer" in the face of the above-mentioned dealers questioned and blamed, Nokia yesterday afternoon issued an emergency statement of denial.  In a statement, Nokia said that the dealers ' accusations that Nokia was "suspected of evading tax evasion" were unfounded and irresponsible, and the motives behind it were questionable. At the same time, Nokia has also questioned the identity of the dealer who has long been fined by the Nokia. Nokia said that some of the dealers had a channeling of goods "outside the Nokia distribution system, and that Nokia did notThere is no contractual relationship, and there is no trading relationship, so Nokia has no way of saying fine.  However, for this explanation given by Nokia, dealers do not accept it. Xiachang told the Daily economic news that, as a two-level distributor of Nokia, he had "certainly not signed any contracts or agreements with Nokia for 3 years". According to Xiachang, two-level distributors like him, all contracts are signed with provincial distributors.  And in all the contracts and agreements he signed with the provincial distributors about Nokia, "it does not include anything about the fines for channeling goods." Xiachang said that Nokia's high fines for the past 3 years have been "a unilateral act of Nokia and I have never agreed to a provincial distributor".  So why did Xiachang not fight until recently? "Before 2008, there was a fine, but the amount is not so high, nor the monthly penalty, so they have endured." The change came after Nokia set up the "third party company". According to Xiachang, Nokia began in 2008, the dealer's channeling of goods fines significantly strengthened: the third party caught by the fleeing goods directly to 1 units of 10000 yuan to punish, and the individual high-end models of the amount of fines more than 10,000 yuan. The high amount is on the one hand, on the other hand, "Nokia does not have to cash in the goods to produce invoices, Nokia is not paying taxes on this fine, it is very questionable."  "For the distributor of" Third-party companies, the question, as of press, the Nokia company did not make a positive response.  N Series off this month? In Nokia's complex channel system, there is a channel to go is Nokia-Provincial distributor-level two distributor-Consumer's route. And the dealers involved in the cargo fine resistance, almost all of this channel route level two distributor. According to the business is laid in Shanghai Tianmu West Road in the city's Nokia two-level distributors Xudong introduced, Nokia fined two-level distributors, but the agreement was signed by the provincial distributor and Nokia, "When to check, the amount of fines, all of which are set by Nokia." "According to Xudong revealed that this month, all Nokia N series of mobile phones he could not get, according to his estimate Shanghai provincial distributor Shanghai PU Silver Company" has been broken. " But as for the N series, is Nokia pressuring provincial distributors and level two distributors? Or are provincial distributors in a dark war with Nokia?  Xudong said that "must be in the wrangling." It is reported that the Nokia East China office and Shanghai, some of the two-level distributors agreed to be in Friday in Shanghai Pudong Bank to open a formal dialogue with them.
