Gibson公司的木料进口麻烦!!
前段时间听说了Gibson公司的吉他木料非法进口问题,但像Gibson这样的大厂和知名品牌美国政府应该不会太为难他们。 但今天看到了一则“华尔街日报”的文章让我很吃惊,原来Gibson的麻烦还不小,美国政府还挺严肃。以下是原文前两段摘抄:“
On Aug. 24, federal agents descended on three factories and Nashville corporate headquarters of the Gibson Guitar Corp. Accompanied by armored SWAT teams with automatic weapons, agents from the Fish and Wildlife Service swarmed the factories, threatening bewildered luthiers, or guitar craftsman, and other frightened the office of CEO Henry Juszkiewicz, pawing through it all day while an armed man stood in the door to block his way.
‘I was pretty upset,’ Mr. Juszkiewicz says now, sitting outside that same office. ‘But you can only do so much when there’s a gun in your face and it’s the federal government.’ When the chaos subsided, the feds (with a warrant issued under a conservation law called the Lacey Act) had stripped Gibson of almost all of its imported Indian rosewood and some other materials crucial to guitar making.
”
- “The government and the guitar man” by Nancy deWolf Smith,The Wall Street Journal, November 12-13, 2011
这两段原文大意:
8月24号美国联邦政府工作人员临检了吉普森吉他公司的三家工厂和位于纳十维尔的总部。
荷枪实弹的SWAT和
渔业与野生服务部门人员占据了工厂,
吉他工匠们还有CEO Henry Juszkiewicz迷惑惊恐。Juszkiewicz 说“我非常失望,
但我们也不能做什么当美国联邦政府的枪指着你的头。”
联邦政府扣留了Gibson的印度紫檀和其他一些吉他制作材料。
原文Gibson CEO还谈到了想往高端音响市场发展以拓宽业务。
第一 ,炒作!总感觉这一个G总不踏实!第二,非法,其他的吉他公司很多木料的进口的! GIBSON又有理由可以涨价了
