Chinanews Client Beijing, March 8th (Xie Yiguan) "Go out for a shot, enter the unit, and come back to make up another shot." During the epidemic, the security guards became philosophers, and all the questions they asked were directed at the ultimate soul. Philosophical question: Who are you? Where are you from? where do you want to go? Then give you a shot (forehead gun) to see if you have a fever.

"It's hard to find a shot" online and offline

"Yesterday you ignored my love, and today I can't afford you to climb high." The original non-contact infrared thermometer (commonly known as the "forehead gun") at about 100 yuan, the price has doubled.

"The price increase of the Ewen gun is definitely related to the malicious stockpiling of some people." The relevant person in charge of Yuyue Medical, an Ewen gun manufacturer, told reporters that because all parts and the entire production chain are going up in price, the company ’s The temperature gun also increased its price, but the price was not so high.

On the e-commerce platform, the current price of the temperature gun is concentrated between 300 yuan and 600 yuan. "When I was engaged in activities before, I bought it for tens of yuan." "The price has increased 6 times compared to before." Some netizens said.

Netizens comment on Sina Weibo.

Even if the price is so high, you may not be able to buy it. Some brands have shown that their stock guns are out of stock. Some merchants only release some of their stocks at 8 and 20 o'clock every day, and they are out of stock. Some consumers shouted in the evaluation column: "It's not easy to buy goods when they are out of stock everywhere."

Would offline purchase be better? The reporter asked several pharmacies and said they were out of stock now. In desperation, many community and corporate purchasers have posted online announcements for the purchase of warm guns.

Even if you successfully place an order, you may not buy it in stock. Some merchants stated that they would ship in April after the order was placed, and announced that "due to the severe epidemic situation, the company's factory is working hard to produce all day and night, and strive to complete all orders as soon as possible. We do not promise delivery time, and send first."

Late delivery is not the worst, and some netizens encounter unilateral "deductions" after placing orders. In the case of the Black Cat complaint, a consumer said that on January 30, Tmall Yuyuebao ’s official flagship store was purchased with a temperature gun, and the store promised to ship it after February 15th, but consulted customer service if it could be issued on February 15th. At the time of shipment, the customer service stated that the amount of temperature gun was requisitioned and could not be shipped.

When you finally get your forehead gun after "five levels and six levels", don't be too happy, you may buy an industrial thermometer.

According to the Hebei Province Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, Hebei Zhuanghuang County Market Supervision and Administration Bureau's law enforcement officers discovered during inspections that Hebei Jerisen Trading Co., Ltd. used industrial object thermometers as external thermometers for human sales.

Is there a lot of stock online? fake!

——WeChat, QQ and other transactions "heavy-hit areas"

After pharmacies and e-commerce platforms made fruitless purchases, many people turned their attention to social platforms. At present, a large number of information on the sale of warm guns are being produced in the circle of friends, WeChat group, QQ group, and post bar.

The reporter randomly enters a forehead gun exchange group, which is full of "earm gun spot, esoteric video hit 30% deposit, no double deposit", "earm gun futures, delivery completed before March 10, prepaid 50%, The final payment is paid in batches, "Hangzhou spot, right next to the goods, you can directly video, the full amount of the goods left, to pick up directly" and other information.

Many sellers inside said that there are sufficient supplies, as many as tens of thousands, and the price is basically between 300-500 yuan. Some people also set requirements for the quantity of purchase, for example, starting at 1,000.

But is this purchase method really reliable? Although examples of successful transactions are not ruled out, because there is no security guarantee, they accidentally "lost their wives and lost their troops."

——The goods were not received and the money was taken away

Recently, the Guangdong police cracked the case of an extraordinarily large amount of temperature gun fraud and became a hot search. It is reported that Ms. Gong, a citizen of Guangzhou, met “Xiao Xu” who claims to sell electronic thermometers on WeChat. The two parties agreed to trade an electronic thermometer with a value of 10 million yuan. Temperature instrument. But then WeChat was pulled black, and the phone could not be contacted.

It was found that fraud of frontal temperature guns occurred in Jingzhou, Hubei, Nanjing, Jiangsu, Baotou, Inner Mongolia and other places. Most of the victims suffered transactions on platforms such as WeChat group and circle of friends. The police also reminded that there were many cases of fraud during the epidemic, so don't blindly send money.

In fact, even if you successfully trade, you may buy "three no products" or counterfeit products. The reporter saw in the QQ group that some of the brands of E Wenguns sold were not searchable on the Internet.

In addition, there was a message from a vendor in the group on the 6th that a small amount of 2,000 Broncon temperature guns were in stock and picked up in Shenzhen. However, Berkang has issued a reminder recently that all the inventory and production thermometers have been requisitioned by the Guangzhou City Newborn Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention Command, and they must be deployed uniformly, and they must not be sold to any institution or individual in the society. Don't believe that the so-called forehead gun on the Internet has a lot of spot information. Be careful and be deceived.

When can I buy a forehead gun when I want to buy it?

According to the data of CCID Consulting Medical and Health Industry Research Center, the output of domestic handheld infrared thermometers has been between 200,000 and 300,000 before 2019, and the overall market size is not large. But an epidemic changed that.

On February 24, Yuyue Medical stated that the company's product lines have resumed normal work, the capacity utilization rate of major products related to the epidemic has exceeded 100%, and temperature detection products such as forehead guns are still in short supply.

Another medical thermometer manufacturer, Jiu An Medical, also previously stated that since the outbreak, there has been a huge supply and demand gap in the market and serious shortages in supply. At present, there are no more than three manufacturers with a daily output of 10,000 guns across the country. Roughly estimated that the entire market ’s production capacity in February will not exceed 500,000.

"We are already expanding production capacity, but we are still constrained by parts and components. If the parts and components can be solved, our daily output can reach 50,000 to 60,000. There is no problem." The relevant person in charge of Yuyue Medical told reporters.

"Due to the long industrial chain of the amount of temperature gun, it is difficult to increase the production speed in the short term." Dongxing Securities pointed out that the infrared sensors required by the amount of temperature gun can only be imported from overseas, and the technology is not a standardized product, so it is difficult to expand the capacity in the short term. In addition, there is a shortage of domestic-made MCUs (central processing units) suitable for temperature guns, and production has been scheduled until May-June.

According to the data of Tianyan Inspection, since 2020, a total of 63 new related companies operating the thermostat business have been added in China, and all of them have been newly established since February, accounting for nearly 18% of the total. business. The accelerated influx of new entrants is expected to bring part of the production capacity and accelerate the realization of normal supply.

When can the market resume normal supply? "Limited by the supply of accessories, it is estimated that it will be quite good to recover in March." Yuyue Medical said.
