Su Xue has joined this organization for more than two months, but she really doesn't know that this organization is a so-called pyramid scheme, or that it is actually illegal.
At this time, pyramid selling was not well known, but direct selling had begun to take root in people's hearts. The direct selling model was door-to-door delivery, with agents selling goods. There were also up and down lines, but direct selling did not require any joining fees. The so-called
Up and down lines are just a matter of who sells how many products.
Direct selling literally means direct sales, which refers to the direct sales of goods and services by manufacturers. Direct sellers bypass traditional wholesalers or retail channels and receive orders directly from customers. Direct selling companies recruit direct sellers, who will work at fixed businesses
A distribution method that directly sells products to final consumers outside the premises.
From this point of view, Lin Yuan listened to Su Xue's lecture yesterday morning. In fact, it is the concept of direct selling. Direct selling goes directly from manufacturers to consumers, without the traditional wholesalers and retailers in the middle. It originally belonged to the middle of wholesalers and retailers.
The profit belongs to the direct seller, and the profit difference is definitely very objective. Yesterday, Su Xue calculated an account. For example, the ex-factory price of a pen is one yuan. After going through agents, wholesalers, and retailers, this pen
The price may become five yuan or even ten yuan, deducting transportation costs, etc., and the profit earned by the middleman is much higher than the ex-factory price.
MLM means using the guise of direct selling, and the courses taught are actually about direct selling. At this time, direct selling has not been spread in China for a long time, and it is legal. There are also more direct sellers. MLM elements use the guise of direct selling.
It's really easy to win people's trust.
In real terms, the only difference between MLM and direct selling is that direct selling truly sells goods. There is no joining fee. The income is divided according to the goods sold. The consumers are all kinds of people, and they can be friends, relatives, or acquaintances.
Stranger, but MLM is different. MLM has no so-called products at all, or the so-called products do not match the entry fee at all. Things that cost tens of dollars directly cost thousands. Participants must purchase one product, which is mandatory.
deceptive.
Su Xue is also a college student after all, so after joining this organization, she was quickly attracted by the direct selling model mentioned by the other party, and then entered this organization. As of now, Su Xue still thinks that she is doing direct selling. The reason why they cannot be aboveboard,
This is because direct selling is not recognized yet, but it is not illegal.
But after reading the legal documents Lin Yuan gave him, Su Xue realized that what she was doing was not so-called direct selling, but pyramid selling, which was illegal and clearly stipulated by law.
"Lin Yuan, I..." The relationship between Sophie and Lin Yuan was still very good. Although she was a little uncertain at this time, she was in a good mood. She just didn't know how to talk to Lin Yuan.
"You've been doing this for a while. It's undeniable that this thing can indeed make money, but whose money you earn belongs to your friends and relatives. The fact that they can be called over by you means they trust you, even if they are
You really made money, are you feeling guilty?" Lin Yuan looked at Su Xueyue and said.
"I..." Su Xue opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
"Not to mention whether you can make money, maybe you have a lucky idea in your heart, and your friends may also be able to make money. In the end, the people who can't make money may no longer know you. Even if you don't know them, you can't bear to look at them.
Cheated?"
"Lin Yuan, I...I didn't think so much at first." Su Xue said.
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now, Wang Yanfei is here." Lin Yuan hurriedly put down the document in his hand, picked up another one, and pretended to talk to Su Xue.
"Su Xue, what's wrong with you?" Wang Yanfei came over and asked. Su Xue's eyes were a little red from what Lin Yuan said just now, and Wang Yanfei naturally saw the clues.
"It's nothing. I heard from Lin Yuan that one of our former classmates went abroad. She is my best friend and I haven't seen her for a long time." Su Xue was still smart and said hurriedly.
"It's just going abroad. When you, Boss Su, make money in the future, going abroad will not be a trivial matter." Wang Yanfei said with a smile.
"I heard it all of a sudden, so I was naturally a little sad." Su Xue smiled, looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Shall we go somewhere else?"
"Okay, wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom." Wang Yanfei chuckled, gave Su Xue a look, and signaled Su Xue to ask for Lin Yuan's cell phone as soon as possible, and then went to the bathroom.
Wang Yanfei walked away, and Su Xue asked Lin Yuan: "Lin Yuan, did you already know that I was a pyramid scheme?"
"I accidentally saw what activities you were doing in Yanta Square the afternoon before yesterday." Lin Yuan said.
"You have arrived in Chang'an a long time ago?" Su Xue asked in shock.
"I just arrived the day I met you. I originally planned to go directly there. A friend said it might be a pyramid scheme, so I didn't rush to find you." Lin Yuan explained.
"Lin Yuan, I'm sorry, I really don't know. I thought..." Su Xue hurriedly explained that her temperament was not bad and she was not very courageous. Naturally, she did not dare to do anything illegal or disciplinary.
She didn't know that this was a pyramid scheme, but now that she knows, she naturally regrets it.
"Don't blame those who don't know. This organization is very good at deceiving people." Lin Yuan sighed.
"Lin Yuan, what should we do now? Let's just leave. Anyway, I only have a few clothes there. I've been here for so long and no one has been brought over. Naturally, there is no dividend and no money." Su Xue said.
"Don't worry, I can stay here for two more days. I hope to meet your general agent. Everyone else is deceived. This general agent is the culprit. If he can be found, let the police come forward and arrest you all.
Rescue everyone." Lin Yuan said.
"I heard that the general agent will be coming in the next two days. After all, it is the Chinese New Year. The general agent also wants to come over to meet everyone and give some motivation to the newcomers." Su Xue said.
"That's great." Lin Yuan said happily after hearing this. He was afraid that the general agent was hiding too deeply and would not show up for ten and a half days, so he didn't have that much energy.
Lin Yuan and Su Xue were talking, and Wang Yanfei came out of the toilet. Lin Yuan said hurriedly: "Su Xue, it's good that you know this, and don't show your flaws."
After lunch, at one o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yuan and Su Xue and Wang Yanfei went to the small classroom again to listen to the class. With Lin Yuan's reminder, Su Xue understood more and more that what she was doing was not direct selling, and she felt very guilty. Fortunately, she didn't do it.
If she doesn't have any friends, she won't know how to deal with everyone in the future.
In order to cooperate with Su Xue, Lin Yuan locked his mobile phone and gave it to Su Xue, but did not tell Su Xue if there was any phone call, he would tell him immediately.
After two days of this, Lin Yuan just got up this morning and saw a group of people in the room who were very excited. A young man named Liu happily said to Lin Yuan: "Handsome guy, you are so lucky. The general agent is inviting everyone to visit you at noon today."
It's hard to see the general agent when eating. I've been here for three months and I've only met the general agent once."
Lin Yuan chuckled and didn't say much. He was thinking about how to deal with this general agent, whether to notify the police directly or...
Lin Yuan and his group didn't go out all morning, just playing chess in the room. At 11 o'clock in the morning, the so-called leader began to call everyone to go out together. There was a Jinbei at the door. Everyone got in the car and went to the so-called hotel together.
.
The hotel was not of high quality, only three-star standard, but a group of people seemed very excited. Lin Yuan, Su Xue and Wang Yanfei followed the crowd and went directly to the private room under the leadership of the leader.
The private room was very large, with ten tables. When Lin Yuan and his group entered, there were already many people inside, some of whom Lin Yuan had met in the small classroom, and the female agent he had met on the first day.
Some people have never seen it.
As time went by, more and more people were in the private room. A group of people were seated according to their dormitories. All ten large tables were filled with people, and there were hundreds of people in the entire private room.
Lin Yuan had already heard from Sophie that the membership fee for this organization was 3,800 for each person. For one hundred people, it would be more than 300,000. This does not include the fees that some people gave directly to him in their own names.
Both his parents and his wife paid the membership fee. Moreover, these more than 100 people should be just part of this organization. Lin Yuan guessed that this so-called general agent should be just a small leader, not a real general agent. According to Lin Yuan
As you know, a large MLM organization often has many downlines, and it is definitely not difficult for a real MLM leader to make millions a year.
Lin Yuan and others sat down. After the food was served, a young man in his thirties wearing a woolen coat walked in surrounded by several people. The young man was not tall, but he was very well-dressed.
A real famous brand, with a famous watch on his wrist and shiny leather shoes.
After the young man walked in, everyone present stood up and shouted: "General agent, general agent, general agent..."
The young man pressed his hands, and everyone calmed down. The young man smiled and said to everyone very gently: "For those who are celebrating the New Year, I would like to say New Year greetings to everyone first. I hope everyone will have a successful career in the new year.
,step up......"
The young man said a few words and then began to toast from table to table. He drank a small cup at each table and tasted it briefly. No one dared to force the young man. Lin Yuan's table was relatively far back. Through observation, Lin Yuan found that whenever there was a table,
When there are new people, the young people will say a few words to the new people. If the new people extend their hands, the young people will shake their hands and say a few words of encouragement.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan reached out and touched his wrist, quietly hid the gold needle in his sleeve, and waited for the young man to come over and propose a toast.
"Haha, Happy New Year to everyone." When they arrived at Lin Yuan's table, the young man also gestured to everyone with a wine glass. A group of people drank from the wine glasses in one gulp, as if it was a great honor for the young man to toast.
After toasting to the people at the table, the leader of Lin Yuan's dormitory whispered a few words in the young man's ear. The young man looked at Lin Yuan and said with a smile: "This handsome guy is new here, welcome."
"Hello." Lin Yuan also hurriedly and cautiously stretched out his hand. The young man did not hesitate. He smiled and shook hands with Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan was originally sitting next to him. When shaking hands with the young man, he suddenly staggered and stopped standing.
Steady, one hand happened to be supporting the young man.
"Haha, slow down, handsome man, don't get excited." The young man helped Lin Yuan stand firm, smiled, and went to propose a toast to the other table. Lin Yuan slowly sat down, his face as usual, and at the same time, he slowly wrapped the golden needle around him again.
On your own wrist.
"bump!"
The young man had just toasted to the next table when his body suddenly staggered and fell to the ground. He was breathing heavily and his eyes were turned out hard. He looked very scary.
"General agent, general agent, quickly, call the emergency number." Seeing this scene, several senior agents nearby panicked instantly. One senior agent hurriedly took out his mobile phone and dialed 120, although the senior agent already knew what he was doing.
, but if someone really dies, it will be a big problem. Naturally no one dares to be careless at this time.
