Four seas network news, recently, an online "Chinese shopping in Paris by the siege" video attracted widespread attention of netizens. According to netizens, on the 25th, Paris Spring Department Store's fifth floor fashion brand 'Balencia' released new shoes, attracting a large number of guests to line up. As a result, a Chinese aunt was pushed to stop when she was in line because she didn't like foreigners jumping in line. Aunt's son then came to support, but was surrounded by a group of foreigners. What's the matter? Are Chinese consumers really beaten up overseas?
The video you see now is the 'fight scene' widely spread on the Internet. Although the video is only a few seconds old, it is clear that a young man with a Chinese face was knocked down and pulled back by security personnel.
In order to restore the truth of the incident, the reporter contacted many witnesses of the incident, feifei'er, a Chinese student studying in France. According to her introduction, on the same day, she came downstairs to line up before the mall opened at 9:30. After opening the door, she was in the line of more than 20, and the Chinese aunt involved was in the line behind her.
Eyewitness feifei'er: more than ten minutes later, some Frenchmen, their friends may have come earlier. These late Frenchmen gathered beside the team to think of gase. Seeing a group of people beside the team, the security guard came to inquire, and the aunt went to tell the security guard that these people were all in line. At this time, they had a fierce quarrel.
Then, the two sides moved on.
Eyewitness feifei'er: I didn't see them who moved their hands first. It happened suddenly. There were many people.
However, in the eyes of witnesses, the conflict happened suddenly and for a short time, involving only three people, not the so-called "siege" on the Internet.
Eyewitness feifei'er: it's not a brawl. It's a short time. People nearby also have braces. The point is that after the fight, the attitude of the shop assistant towards the Chinese is very different from that towards the French.
What's the problem? Witnesses complain about improper management of businesses
What's the matter with this witness's statement that the management of the department store has different attitudes towards Chinese and foreign consumers? We interviewed another witness of the incident, Qin Xiaxin, a Chinese student studying abroad. On the same day, because of her late arrival, she was in the back of the line. She told us about what happened after the conflict.
Witness Qin Xiaxin: after the conflict, the shop assistant drew a cordon like thing by himself, circled in a dozen people, some of them were the people who cut in the line. There are many Chinese people dissatisfied. We are in line. How can we be separated from the circle by a line? The troublemakers and the queue jumpers can buy them?
First, there is a conflict in the queue, and then it is considered that the choice of the business to the customer is against the fairness. But what makes consumers more dissatisfied is the attitude of BNP towards customers.
Witness Qin Xiaxin: the clerk said to aunt, it's all because of you. People behind today can't buy it. If you leave, it's better. Everyone is surprised, how could such a salesperson talk to his customers like this? I have two company executives behind me, they say, these Chinese people, and so on.
Paris spring apologized for the incident in an official microblog account Tuesday, and Balencia's microblog also said that it would "ensure that it always adheres to the attitude of equality and respect for every customer.". On the 27th, that is to say today, CCTV reporters contacted Paris Spring Department Store in France and 'Balencia' to explain the incident, but both sides refused to ask for an interview.
