Zhongcai logistics is the largest agricultural wholesale market in Nanjing, and the aquatic product wholesale area in the city is also the largest aquatic product wholesale point in Nanjing.However, an insider recently reported that the aquatic products wholesale district of the entire north, the electronic scales have a lack of weight phenomenon, and long-term unsupervised.
Recently, the reporter came to nanjing some aquatic products wholesale market, found in each stall on the weight is not the same.Merchants said they had been weighed less at source and had to use the same number of scales from others in order not to lose money.A surprise inspection by regulators found that none of the scales had been inspected as required, and the latest inspection by market authorities was a year ago.
At 5 o 'clock in the morning of December 7, the north district of Nanjing Zhongcai Logistics Aquatic products Wholesale District opened the market in a lively way. Whole vehicles of fresh freshwater fish were transported here from the surrounding areas for wholesale to the next level vendors.
Merchants swear that their scales are very accurate, customers can go anywhere to school scales, if short of a short weight will not accept money.
To test the scales, a reporter from the Jiangsu Radio, Film and Television Financial Media Center decided to use his own weight as a test weight.On two accurate weighing scales, the reporter's weight is about 194 jin.
And the reporter of same attire, heavy burden, weighed on the scale of a merchant, show for 198.6 catty.
Went next door a merchant, the weight of the reporter became 200 catties.Look for another one to weigh it, and its weight becomes 198.4 kilograms again. Continue to change the weighing scale, always weighing more than 198 kilograms.
In response to the question of less weighing, merchants in this area said that when they wholesale the fish from the source, they are also less weighed, and there are wastage along the way. In order to attract customers at a low price and not lose money, they can only make money from the weight of the goods.
