Gree Electric Appliances Rejected 100 Million Business Claims

A few days ago, Beijing Tianxia City Commodity Market v. Gree Electric Appliances Co., Ltd. held a trial in Beijing No. 1 Middle School. In 2011, more than 100 merchants in Tianxia City were destroyed due to fire shops and the cause of the fire was identified by the fire department as a short circuit in the air conditioner. Tianxia City claimed 100 million yuan from Gree, but Gree Electric refused to accept it and believed that there was no problem with the quality of air conditioning.

According to reports, on May 8, 2011, a fire broke out in Tianxia City, which was located on Tiancun Road, Haidian District, Beijing. More than 100 shops on the market were burned.

It is reported that the fire department issued a "fire accident certificate" for the fire accident in Tianxia City. The report found that the cause of the fire was caused by a short circuit in the power cord inside the air conditioner. It is also known that the short-circuit air conditioner is a Gree brand segmented heat pump type patio type air conditioner produced by Gree Electric.

Tianxia City filed a lawsuit with the court and demanded that Gree Electric Co., Ltd. compensate all losses totaling 100 million yuan. On December 25, the case was heard in Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court.

It is understood that Gree believes that the air conditioning is in line with the national standard and is a qualified product. The "Fire Accident Confirmation Book" is only for the cause of the fire accident and cannot prove that the product quality is flawed. Therefore, the fire cannot be regarded as caused by the quality defect of Gree air-conditioning products. Claims for compensation.

The case was not pronounced in court.

On December 12th, at the CCTV annual economic figures award ceremony, Gree's chief executive Dong Mingzhu and Xiaomi's chairman Lei Junhao bet 1 billion to bet on whether Xiaomi's turnover could exceed Gree's in 5 years.

In an interview with the media, Dong Mingzhu said: "Although this is the era of Internet marketing, it is still the technology and products that ultimately determine whether to win or lose. Gree has 5,000 young technicians who are like madmen. These people are making it impossible for Gree to be surpassed."
