After listening to the words of these two women, Chen Feng roughly guessed the general outline of the matter. It was nothing more than a trick to defraud job applicants of their money.
This phenomenon has always existed, and those with some conscience will only cheat for registration fees, information fees, file fees, etc., ranging from dozens to one or two hundred yuan.
Although there are not many people who can earn tens or hundreds of dollars per person, when there are more people applying for the job, it is common to easily earn tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in a few days.
Moreover, this is a long-term business. As long as you publish recruitment advertisements in newspapers and on the Internet, the investment is not large, but the revenue is quite a lot. You can recruit long-term and make money from the beginning to the end of the year.
Those who are more sinister will further ask for various expenses such as training fees, clothing fees, makeup fees, etc., which can easily cost hundreds or even thousands, and they will earn even more.
Of course, there is also a problem of probability. Generally speaking, there are dozens or hundreds of applicants who are eager to find a job, especially those who have just graduated from the workplace. Basically, they will be fooled. After all, the money is not much. If you don’t pay it,
I will definitely lose this job. I will only have a chance if I submit it.
However, if the money is big, hundreds or even thousands, the average applicant will not be foolish enough to hand it over. After all, for ordinary applicants, the money is a bit much, and they will definitely hesitate, and most people will give up.
.
It is not that easy to defraud so much money through simple recruitment methods.
Therefore, modeling companies or cultural media companies like this have begun to recruit models, and they are only deceiving young and inexperienced girls by taking pictures of them in model photo albums.
This is due to the particularity of the modeling industry. In other industries where applicants are asked to pay so much money, the success rate is very low, but in the modeling industry, the success rate is very high.
The so-called model card is a model card. It contains the model's photo and basic information, such as stage name, age, height, weight, measurements, shoe size, etc. As a model, this information card is indispensable. Without it, it is difficult to sell yourself.
, it’s hard to take orders.
You can get this kind of model card yourself at an outside photo studio, which can cost up to one or two hundred.
But in these modeling companies, these applicants have paid thousands or even tens of thousands for a photoshoot in the past. Many applicants are eager to introduce modeling work to the modeling companies to make money, and coupled with some deceptive words from the other party, they are deceived.
Of course, the interviewers of the company who are on the scammer's side also look at who they are and decide what to do. If they see that your clothes are ordinary, they may pay you a few hundred dollars to take your photo.
When you encounter some more "formalized" companies, they will also officially launch several package services for you to take mockups, mainly three grades: high, medium and low for you to choose from, including indoor and outdoor, etc.
Being open, transparent, and upright can be considered as willing to take the bait.
You said that you already have a mockup card, and it looks pretty good, but it’s useless. Since the other party wants to defraud you of the money to take the mockup card, it is definitely unacceptable. Unless you don’t want to join their company, they don’t need to give you money.
Introduce the modeling business and work, otherwise you have to pay the money.
When applicants join their company and are willing to pay for the model photo shoot, of course they hope that their company can help introduce them to modeling-related jobs.
If the other party is really a serious model company, then you can pay the money for the model cards. After all, if the other party introduces them to one or two big orders, they can earn back the money. The other party will definitely do it when they interview you.
Saying this, many girls are tempted to be fooled.
Unfortunately, modeling companies that generally charge this kind of money are not serious companies. They are only responsible for defrauding the model card money, and of course they will not do anything like introducing models to work, or they will not focus their main energy on this.
This kind of deceptive scheme has been flourishing in recent years. Many young girls who want to make easy money as models have been deceived and deceived. There has never been any serious exposure in the media. Only occasionally someone exposed the news on the Internet, but the impact is not big.
After all, the modeling industry is still relatively niche compared to the general public. Some people even called the police, but it was not very effective.
The reason is very simple. The other party and the applicant have a "fair, just and open" transaction from the beginning. The applicant pays, and the model company provides "photography services" to the applicant. The price is informed to you in advance, and what kind of model will be produced.
The card also tells you that there is no fraud in this service, and the applicants "willingly" pay the money.
Moreover, before the other party arranges for you to take a mockup, they will usually sign a "photography contract" with you, which is very formal.
Therefore, it is difficult for applicants to win over a model agency from a legal perspective and get their money back. Moreover, companies like theirs have an effective fraud process and emergency response plan. Basically, they commit crimes in groups, and everyone does their own thing.
Duty, cooperation and tacit understanding.
You can deceive people here in this city for as long as you can. In the end, if you don't get deceived or if things get too big, you will just cancel the company and leave. The building will be empty and you will move to another place or city, and you will start a new company and continue to deceive.
This is also the main reason why this kind of deception has endured so long and is still flourishing today.
One makes money quickly, and the other has less legal risks than other scam companies.
Now these two women came to this scam company to make trouble. The middle-aged fat man Gu Xin was not afraid at all. He frightened them with just a few words. He didn't just encounter this kind of thing today. He didn't know how many times he had encountered it before.
Yes, he has a set of effective coping plans and words.
No, when he faced the stubborn girl in front of him, he shook his head and sighed with an old-fashioned look: "You young people, do you really think that the modeling business is so easy to find? Do you know how competitive the modeling industry is?
Besides, our company doesn’t accept any business casually. We must choose good business and high-priced business. Who was that last time? Yes, her name is Lin Wanqiu. She is your senior sister. Our company will help her accept it.
The print advertisement for Liya Cosmetics was shot in one set. It took three days to shoot, and the final payment was 300,000 yuan, which was not a lot. The main thing was to make her famous."
Gu Xin's work was in vain, and he really calmed down the scene. Many applicants who were originally doubtful now began to trust this company again.
The main reason is that Gu Xin's expression was very serious and sincere when he spoke, and he didn't look like he was lying at all. And didn't he give examples? Is this still false?
The model Lin Wanqiu he mentioned is not fake, she does exist, and she did shoot a print advertisement for Yali Cosmetics. However, she was only in his company's name, and his company gave her tens of thousands of dollars.
It's just the registration fee.
Although his company did not directly promote Lin Wanqiu when promoting it to the outside world, he talked about Lin Wanqiu frequently when interviewing candidates, and there was a room in the company dedicated to displaying some of Lin Wanqiu's photos and success stories.
In this regard, the fraud gang headed by Gu Xin has done quite well, especially in some details, which is quite rare.
The reason is of course that Gu Xin and the others want to deceive Xiuzhou one more time, one more time, one more time.
After all, Xiuzhou is one of the largest cities in China, and the applicants are generally wealthy and willing to spend money.
"You two, come to the office with me. I will communicate with you carefully and eliminate unnecessary misunderstandings."
Gu Xin calmed down the situation and immediately called the two women to the office, intending to provide necessary comfort and minimize the impact of this incident.
He has dealt with this situation many times before. His purpose is to continue to deceive if he can, and to delay if he can. If it doesn't work, he will try to introduce one or two small orders to them. This can be true or false.
Yes, it is nothing more than asking them to put on some new clothes, the photographer will take a few photos of them, and then give them at most two to three hundred yuan, saying that some businesses will use their photos.
In this way, they can be appeased for the time being, and it shouldn't matter if it takes another ten days and a half. If their company is still open by then, the same routine can be used again and again until they cancel the company and run away.
After Chen Feng watched the whole process, none of the girls who originally filled out the forms left, which left Chen Feng speechless. Are all young girls today so easy to deceive?
However, if you really want to talk about it, you can't blame them. One is that Gu Xin and his group are very professional. In addition, they deliberately invited "famous models" to speak for them and chose this Guomao Building.
The office space is a bit high-end, and the decoration inside the company is also very formal. It also has a director's office, a financial office, a dressing room, a photo studio, and a variety of clothing and cosmetics. It's hard to believe that this is a fake model company.
"Chen Feng, what do you think of this place? Do you want to take a look again?"
When Gu Xin took the two women to the office, Cai Zhixin quickly asked Chen Feng. He was in urgent need of money and was eager to sell this house.
Chen Feng glanced at him and asked instead, "Do you know this liar?"
After Cai Zhixin was stunned for a moment, he shook his head with a smile and said: "We don't really know each other. It's mainly the relationship between the landlord and the tenant. But I met him twice in a club owned by a friend. We had a few drinks together and chatted for a while.
Chat. I have never had any intention of having a close relationship with charlatans like them."
Chen Feng nodded and believed what he said. It was obvious that the other party was a well-known local rich second generation, and there was no need to know, let alone have a close friendship with, such a low-life charlatan.
The two of them were right here in the office area, openly talking about Gu Liang, and calling Gu Xin a liar, but they didn't shut up. Everyone around them heard it, and their expressions changed. Including those companies
staff of.
One of the male staff members immediately shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here quickly, you are not welcome here."
Cai Zhixin immediately glared at this man rudely: "Are you looking for death? This is my house. If you tell me to get out, believe it or not, I will find someone to get you all in? Damn you, liar.
You are a liar, how can you pretend to be a serious person in front of me?"
When Cai Zhixin got angry like this, the liar immediately became silent and speechless. How can someone who owns such an office building in the local area be a simple person?
At this time, the dozen or so girls who were still filling out the forms finally came to their senses.
At first, three or four girls stood up, picked up the forms and left, and most of the other girls followed suit and walked towards the door.
They had already suspected that the company was cheating money because of the quarrel between the two women, but later Gu Xin's talkative skills made them choose to believe it again.
But now that a rich second generation like Tsai Chi-sin is the landlord of this house, he will not lie to them, right? After hearing what Chen Feng and Tsai Chi-xin said, of course they will know that this is a scam company.
.
"Don't leave! Don't leave! Don't listen to their nonsense. We are a legitimate company and we are definitely not lying."
"Don't leave. Don't regret it if you leave."
In the end, there were three girls left, but they were all crying because they had already paid, and now they regretted it and asked the staff to refund the money to them. Of course, the staff was unwilling, so they started arguing with them.
Chen Feng glanced at Cai Zhixin and took the lead out of the model agency.
The two walked to the elevator and saw a large group of women waiting for the elevator, so they walked towards the stairs. It was only on the fourth floor anyway.
When he arrived at the large shopping mall on the first floor, Chen Feng stopped, turned around and said to Cai Zhixin: "I bought it here, but there is a condition."
Upon hearing this, Cai Zhixin said quickly: "What are the conditions? As long as it is not difficult to handle, I can agree to it."
Chen Feng said with a serious face: "This premise should be very simple for you, just help call the police and destroy this scammer company. I believe Mr. Cai, you should have this ability, right?"
Cai Zhixin suddenly looked at him with a strange expression: "This is indeed not difficult for me, but the other party probably didn't offend you. As for this?"
Chen Feng said with a smile: "He didn't offend me. But I don't like these scammers. Moreover, all of them deceived are young and beautiful girls who are eager to find jobs. They are really wicked."
Cai Zhixin said with a smile: "It seems that you are also an elegant person. You know how to be compassionate and cherish the jade. Okay, I will help you with this matter. To be honest, I am also unhappy with these liars. I didn't know they were liars at first.
We won’t find out until the house is rented to them and the contract is signed. These guys are engaging in deceitful deception, and it looks really disgusting. Let’s just deal with it this time.”
Chen Feng nodded and said: "Then it's settled. When this scam company is destroyed, we will sign the contract."
"Okay, feel free. I will help you handle this matter today. Just wait for my good news."
After Cai Zhixin finished speaking, he didn't talk to Chen Feng any more and left with his female companion.
At this time, Sun Xiaorui looked at Chen Feng with admiration. As soon as they left, she couldn't help but hug him, with eyes full of admiration and admiration: "Brother Feng, you really have a sense of justice. I really love you."
"Okay. In public." Chen Feng smiled and patted her back, "I just did it casually. Since you have the ability to help, just do it. It can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating merit."
This is a shopping mall on the first floor. Although there are not many people around, there are quite a few. Sun Xiaorui was a little embarrassed and quickly let go of Chen Feng. He said with a smile: "Brother Feng, you are still good. This move uses my strength. I believe these liars."
