Mott Iron Group's Response to JD 618 Event Dispute
TapTechNews June 3rd news, the annual JD 618 event is underway. On May 31st, a post from Shen Haobo, the founder, director and CEO of Mott Iron Group, attracted attention.
Shen Haobo said that:
Even though Mott Iron has already completely stopped deliveries to JD and repeatedly expressed opposition to JD's behavior of low-pricing and disrupting market order, JD still ignores our demands and wants to force our products to participate in their low-price promotion. This is rubbing our faces on the ground repeatedly with their feet.
Shen Haobo stated that Mott Iron will take three measures:
First, we will take legal actions and spare no cost to safeguard our rights and interests. Second, we will continue to stop deliveries to JD, not a single one, and if there is a time limit, that would be indefinite. Third, we will continue to ask JD to take down all our products and return them all to us.
For the content of Shen Haobo's post, a suspected JD purchaser-seller employee responded and said:
The goal of the JD Books 618 event is just to let more consumers buy cheap good books. JD has never intended to be on the opposite side of the publishing houses and the industry. Both sides should be partners in the same camp. Hoping to bring good books and good prices to consumers together, rather than let the high cost of live streaming investment hurt the industry and those authors who create with heart. JD has the legal right to independently set prices for self-operated books and is willing to give up more profits to benefit consumers.
