In Laiyang City, every morning at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., there are a large group of people in the streets, alleys, squares, parks, and open spaces by the river, just like going to a market, but they do not buy or sell anything. They have nothing to do and are idle.
, why do they gather together like ghosts? First, to block traffic, and then to make people feel scary.
This horrific scene appeared during the day.
Who are these people?
A group of people who eat cabbage all day long.
A group of people living in the urban-rural fringe area.
A group where all members sleep on the floor.
An organization that dares not tell its relatives about its true occupation.
There are tens of thousands of these people, and they firmly believe that they will become "millionaires" in a few years.
Because there are too many people, these millionaires line up to go to the toilet every morning, and their main job every day is to make phone calls. There is a phone booth at the entrance of a dilapidated alley, with a man wearing a wrinkled suit and a scarlet trousers.
Tie, he made three phone calls.
1. "Hey, second uncle, I have now opened an advertising company. Didn't you work as a driver before? Come and drive for me. It's 3,000 yuan per month, including food and accommodation... Can I treat you badly... Yes,
You can apply for your driver's license when you come here... Hey, don't hang up the phone, wait, I'm not doing a pyramid scheme... Hey, hey..."
Second, "Uncle, how are you doing? I'm calling you to say hello. I'm the boss and I've opened an Internet company... You can become a shareholder. It's just investment... It doesn't matter if you don't understand the Internet. I didn't either at the beginning.
I understand... If you can't escape, then sell the cows at home and make some sacrifices if you want to make a lot of money... Okay, let's talk about it then."
Three, "Shitou, it's me... You forgot, we were on a construction site before, and I was from the electrician team... Yes, we haven't contacted each other for several years. I'm in real estate now, and I've enclosed a piece of land... Yes
, Haha, I am the contractor now... It sounds ugly, please call me Boss Wang. How much money can you make doing construction work at home... Come and help me, no less than 3,000 per month... Okay, I'll go there when you get to the station
I’ll pick you up, that’s it.”
The stone is coming.
The nightmare began from here.
Shitou was warmly received as soon as he got off the train. The electrician at that time, now Boss Wang, gave him a hug as soon as he met him. Another woman who called herself Director Miao helped him carry his luggage. His luggage contained tile knives, hammers, and drills.
——He is a construction worker. They walked into a messy residential area and walked into a dilapidated building.
Entering the room, there were some people lying on the ground like corpses. When Shitou came in, the "corpses" came to life one after another, shaking hands with Shitou and saying thank you for your hard work. People in the room greeted him warmly, handed him towels, and poured boiling water.
, making Shi Shi very embarrassed. For dinner in the evening, there were four dishes and one soup, chicken and fish, which means "opportunity". Shi Shi later learned that chicken and fish are only eaten when new people join, and they usually eat cabbage and fish.
Potatoes and more than a dozen bowls of rice, with chopsticks standing on them, were placed in two rows on the coffee table in the hall. After they picked up the rice, they started shouting:
"The leader invites you to dinner, the boss invites you to dinner, everyone invites you to dinner, and I eat too."
The slogans were uniform and loud. Shitou suddenly wanted to laugh, but he couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter. He never thought that he would become a person who shouts slogans before eating in the future. In order to show it in front of the newcomers
Passion, eating must be "rushed", everyone rushes to fill the rice, rush to add rice, rush to pick up food for the newcomers, everyone eats with gusto. Before eating, thank the leader, and use some gestures when speaking, when talking about the manager
, the CEO even gave a Chinese-style clasped fist salute to show respect! After dinner, everyone started to play games, rock-paper-scissors, idiom solitaire, guessing numbers, to be honest, they were all childish games played by kindergarten children, and the loser
Some people have to perform a show, some sing a song, and some tell a story.
Shitou lost, and everyone started clapping rhythmically, asking him to perform a show.
Shy Shitou said that he didn't know anything, so he just bowed to everyone.
When sleeping at night, there is a room for men and a room for women, both of which are lined up on the ground in a straight line. Before going to bed, a pretty girl washes Shi Shi's feet, but Shi Shi refuses to let them go.
The girl said: "We are not a family, but we are better than a family."
Shitou said, "My feet are sweaty and smelly. I'll do it myself."
The girl stubbornly held down his feet and took off his shoes. A stink gradually filled the room. Shi Shi's face turned red, but the girl didn't dislike it and washed his feet very gently. Before he finished washing, there was already someone standing next to him.
There was a man standing with a towel ready to wipe his feet. Shitou was a construction worker. He had never received such treatment. He felt warm in his heart.
Boss Wang came over and said, "Stone, this is home."
Shitou asked: "Where is our construction site?"
Boss Wang said: "Tomorrow, I will take you there."
When we got up the next morning, everyone sang and got dressed. Breakfast was rice porridge. The characteristic of this rice porridge was that there was no rice. After the so-called breakfast, Boss Wang said he would take the stones out for a walk. On the way, Boss Wang
Xiang Shitou solemnly stated that he did not have any company at all, but he was engaged in an emerging industry and could earn 3.8 million in two years. Shitou was not angry at this deception, and just said lightly: "Oh.
"
They came to a two-story building. Boss Wang knocked on the door first twice, and then again after a while, like a secret signal. The door opened and they entered a room that was closed on all sides. The windows were sealed with window paper.
There were thick curtains. The room was full of people, sitting neatly on plastic benches.
Shitou quietly asked his friend: "Are we going to show a pornographic video?"
The friend said loudly: "I have brought a new friend, everyone is welcome." Everyone stood up and applauded thunderously.
A female lecturer in a suit walked in front of the blackboard. Everyone fell silent. Boss Wang also pulled a stone and sat on the small bench and began to listen carefully.
The lecturer said: "When we come to this small class, it is nothing more than the word 'fate', a simple word 'fate', which tightly connects our hearts from all over the world. When I walked out of the house
When someone asked me why, I said I wanted to find the dream in my heart. When I was baptized in the wind and rain, someone asked me why again, and I said I wanted to realize the dream in my heart. There are dreams in life, and life is like
Dream, but life is not a dream after all. We can turn dreams into reality here. Diploma does not equal level, academic qualifications does not equal ability. Whether you are a university graduate student or an elementary school graduate, we are all treated equally. Each of us is equal.
Yes, we come from all over the world, we form a big family, and we have a common belief that we will definitely succeed."
The lecturer asked Shi Shi: "This new friend, were you deceived?"
Shitou replied softly: "Yes."
The lecturer said: "When I was a child, my mother told me that the injection didn't hurt. Why did she lie? Because by telling a beautiful lie, the child could bravely accept it. If someone told you that there was a golden mountain here, would you come? You would ask him in return.
Have you taken your medicine, and are you going to visit him in the hospital with a bag of fruit..."
Everyone burst into laughter.
The lecturer continued: "The first one to discover a business opportunity is a genius, the second one to discover it is a mediocre person, and the third one to discover it is a fool. Why are the members of our industry all friends and relatives? Because the more people know about this business opportunity, the more we
There will be fewer opportunities. We need to be geniuses, not fools. We trick our relatives and friends just for their own good. We want to work with our relatives and friends to dig out the first pot of gold for our career. If you don’t believe in miracles, miracles will happen.
Not going to happen.”
The crowd applauded and cheered.
The lecturer signaled everyone to be quiet and said: "Our chain sales is an emerging industry, and this model is introduced from the United States. As long as we invest 3,800 yuan, develop three downlines, and finally successfully exit, we can earn 3.8 million. Our Qunfeng Biotechnology
The headquarters of the technology company is in South Korea. We have a five-level and three-level system, E. Salesperson, D. Team leader, C. Director, B. Manager, A. President... Although you are not a millionaire now, you will be in the future.
You must be a millionaire. Although you are sleeping on the floor and eating from a big pot, those who can endure hardship will suffer for a while, and those who cannot endure hardship will suffer for a lifetime. Let the facts speak for themselves. Here are a few of you.
Successful people came on stage to speak out."
A man came up to the stage and bowed, and said to everyone, "I get 19,000 per month now. Is 19,000 enough?"
The people below were full of energy and shouted in unison: "Not enough!"
Another person came on stage and said: "I have now reached the director level. I feel lucky to be engaged in this great and noble direct selling industry. I want to thank my upline. Now I recommend myself to everyone for free. I am from...
I welcome all the millionaires and multi-millionaires in the audience to take out your precious time from your busy schedules to come to my dormitory for guidance..."
Finally, the lecturer asked Shi Shi: "This is a moment that will change your personal and family destiny. Are you willing to join the ranks of millionaires?"
Shitou said: "Okay, I'll join."
Everyone stood up and burst into applause. The female lecturer in a suit stepped forward to hug Shi Shi. Shi Shi felt his blood boiling with passion and pride.
Shi Shi began to ask for money from his family. His mother sold saltwater peanuts and his sister ran a paint store. 3,800 yuan was not a small sum for his family. Before making the call, Director Miao helped him write the call script. Shi Shi took a
He put the shoe brush to his ear and muttered to himself, raising his tone from time to time, and then talking softly to Feng Xiaoyu. He simulated tying it several times first, so as to increase the success rate.
Shitou finally plucked up the courage and called the village committee. The village chief called his mother over. His mother panicked and asked what was wrong.
Shitou said: "Mom, my friend and I contracted a road construction project and we need money urgently."
My mother said: "The family has no money, but your sister opened a store, and all the money went to her to purchase goods."
Shitou said: "This is an opportunity to make a lot of money. If you miss it, it will be too late."
My mother said: "We are not destined to get rich, so just work hard as a plasterer, earn more and spend more, and earn less and spend less."
Shitou said: "Mom, please, I will kneel down for you."
The phone call lasted for more than 20 minutes, and he was kneeling on the ground during the entire process. He felt sorry for all parents in the world, and his mother finally agreed to lend him money and remit it to him.
A month later, Shitou deceived his brother-in-law by claiming that he had made a fortune contracting projects.
My brother-in-law was doubtful that he could earn 3.8 million by investing 3,800 yuan, and everyone in the room took turns brainwashing him.
Illegal MLM brainwashing generally consists of three steps.
The first step is to answer questions and clear up doubts in the minds of members through mutual communication and in the form of questions and answers, and solve various obstacles that prevent them from taking action. For example, "There are good intentions and bad intentions in deceiving people. The purpose of deceiving people is to make them
Make a fortune" and eliminate the guilt of deceiving others.
The second step is to give sensational lectures and in-depth brainwashing. In a closed environment, through lectures and the introduction of the experiences of successful people, a bright future can be achieved, which can achieve high rates of return in a short period of time and ignite the fanatical desire of newcomers to join illegal pyramid schemes.
The third step is to communicate after class and strengthen brainwashing. It mainly creates a "big family" atmosphere in the dormitory, and the "trainer" teaches the members communication skills with others and the strategies, tactics and methods of MLM, and repeatedly instills the concept of MLM to get rich quickly.
It emphasizes the path of getting rich by paying more at the beginning and getting less in return, and paying less in the future and getting more in return, further solidifying and amplifying the members' dream of getting rich through MLM.
Shitou persuaded his brother-in-law: "What can I deceive you? You are my brother-in-law. I can only deceive you a train ticket. You should first understand our industry and carefully consider whether this is an opportunity to make a fortune."
The brother-in-law said: "I don't really believe it."
A bald man said to his brother-in-law: "I ran three agencies and gave up on them all. Do you think I am a fool?"
The brother-in-law smiled but did not answer.
A middle-aged woman said: "My aunt is at the front of the line. My aunt's down line is my father. Next to my father is my little daughter. Next to my little daughter is my eldest daughter. I am now helping my little daughter develop. Next month,
My younger daughter will be paid a salary."
The brother-in-law asked: "How much?"
The middle-aged woman said: "Three to four hundred yuan. You know, my youngest daughter is only 6 years old, and she has been paid since she was 6 years old."
A young man with a small parted hair came over and said: "My cousin has been here for eleven months and he has already earned more than 1 million. Now he has bought a car and a house, and he has also built dozens of acres of banana fields at home."
My brother-in-law said, "Let me think about it."
Scientists have done an experiment, locking six people in a closed room. There is an apple and an orange in the room. Five people say that the orange is bigger than the apple, and the remaining person will believe it; five people say that today is Tuesday.
, even though the remaining person knows that it is not Tuesday, he will still have doubts about himself, and will eventually be convinced by others. Human beings have a blind obedience mentality, and the popular chicken blood injection in the 1960s and 1970s is an example.
After listening to a few classes, Shitou's brother-in-law fell into the abyss of pyramid schemes. He first developed his nephew as a downline, and his nephew Wang Yong also used recruitment as an excuse to recruit a classmate.
This classmate's name was Chen Lei. When he arrived, he felt something was wrong. There were many people in the room, and they didn't talk about recruitment. They just kept asking for help. Chen Lei became wary. After a while, a girl borrowed his mobile phone.
He didn't think much about it at the time. After a while, Wang Yong came. He didn't mention recruitment at all, but introduced chain sales. After talking for a long time, he told him that he was actually tricked into doing this sales job.
Chen Lei felt very angry. He roared and said: "Wang Yong, we have been classmates since elementary school. We are so good that we wear the same pair of pants. You actually tricked me into doing a pyramid scheme."
Wang Yong defended eagerly: "This is direct selling, not pyramid selling."
Chen Lei raised his fist and wanted to hit Wang Yong, but he couldn't do it, so he hit the wall with his fist. The wall turned red instantly. Shitou and Shitou's brother-in-law stepped forward and hugged him.
Wang Yong cried and said: "Just hit me, don't torture yourself."
Chen Lei said: "This is actually true. We have been friends for many years. Can you lie to me like this?"
Wang Yong said: "I deceived you for your own good. I just want us to start a business and make a fortune together and develop our ambitions. Didn't we often say this in school before? This is an opportunity. I will use my lifelong friendship to exchange for it."
You have the time these days. If you stay, I will not force you to join this industry. If you stay, you can help me see clearly. Even if it is a fire pit, you can pull me out if you see it clearly. You have just arrived now, and many things have changed.
You haven’t seen it and don’t understand many things clearly, so you just draw conclusions like this. For the sake of friendship, don’t you still understand me after so many years?”
Chen Lei also cried, thinking to himself, yes, even if it is a pit of fire, I should pull him out! All the things he had heard about pyramid schemes before his eyes appeared in front of him.
Shitou's brother-in-law saw that Chen Lei was in a bad state of mind, so he said he should rest for a while, and then called a group of people to come in and watch him, fearing that he would be impulsive again. They also kept saying that they didn't need to worry about the safety of their personal and property, and they were just staying inside for now.
Stay for a few days to get a good understanding of the industry. After a few days, you will understand clearly. You can do it or not. Chen Lei felt exhausted mentally and physically. After riding the train for nearly 30 hours, he encountered this kind of thing again. It was too painful. He sat
There I was in a state of sluggishness, listening to their chatter.
After a while, a man came in from outside and called Chen Lei to another room. He said that his girlfriend had made dozens of calls and asked him to call her back.
The call was connected, and his girlfriend's crying words suddenly reached his ears. She kept asking Chen Lei what was wrong, whether he didn't want her anymore, and if something happened. His girlfriend said that she was already on the phone.
I had been sitting there all day, making phone calls every ten minutes, and was very worried. Chen Lei's nose felt sore, and he tried not to let the tears flow down, and said to his girlfriend as calmly as possible: "I'm fine, I just encountered some unexpected things."
Things other than that.”
The girlfriend said: "Have you been kidnapped or cheated?"
Chen Lei said: "No."
My girlfriend asked: "Is it a pyramid scheme?"
Chen Lei replied: "Yes."
His girlfriend cried on the phone, and the people in the room were very angry when they heard about "MLM". They rushed over and tried to snatch Chen Lei's mobile phone. Chen Lei ran into the bathroom, blocked the door with the washing machine, and started calling his relatives and friends.
The phone was in arrears, so he quickly wrote his location into the text message and sent it over and over again using the group sending function, but the sending always failed. Time passed by, and he was extremely anxious, and he really heard what he was saying.
The heartbeat sounded, and the moment the toilet door was knocked open, the message was sent successfully!
Several people rushed in and pulled Chen Lei back to the room. One person grabbed the phone, checked it, and found that it was in arrears, so he returned the phone to him. Chen Lei said angrily: "Do you still have any conscience? My girlfriend cried
My voice has become hoarse. Do you have any sympathy? If so, please let me out."
Wang Yong said: "You are emotionally unstable now. When you calm down, we will let you go."
Chen Lei said: "Since you are in a legitimate industry, why do you restrict my personal freedom?"
Wang Yong said: "We are a direct sales company. You misunderstood it as a pyramid scheme. If you go out and call the police, it will bring us trouble."
Chen Lei understood that his friend was deeply involved. He wanted to fight for his parents, his girlfriend, his family, and himself! He rushed to the door, only to find that the door had been locked. Several people wanted to stop him, but he ran away again.
He went to the balcony and wanted to jump off. There were guardrails installed on the balcony. He faced the dark sky desperately and yelled his girlfriend's name with his neck pulled like a wounded wolf.
That night, he suffered from insomnia and received two text messages the next morning. One was "Payment successful, payment amount is 100 yuan", and the other was sent by his girlfriend: "Lei, although we are not married yet,
I have regarded you as my husband. I have paid your phone bill because I am afraid that you will lose contact with your mobile phone due to arrears. Now your father and my father have sent the whole family to rescue you. You must take care of yourself these two days and do not talk to them.
Come on, stay calm, I will always love you!"
Chen Lei held the phone, a shiver of happiness spread throughout his body, and his eyes were moist. He carefully examined his current dangerous situation. He did not dare to call the police rashly, because there were people following him when he went to the toilet, so he could only wait quietly.
Set your phone to vibrate, and wait until everyone is asleep at night to secretly send text messages to your father. The first step in MLM is often illegal detention. In this soul-tortured environment, no one can be trusted. Don’t think you can convince anyone.
People who have been brainwashed will not listen to reason, and there is absolutely no need to argue with a group of lunatics. They call MLM dens "home", and many of them raise families, sell cattle and houses, and even take out loans to engage in this industry.
In MLM organizations, there is no family relationship such as husband and wife, and the husband has to address his wife as boss when he meets her.
The essence of MLM is that one person becomes richer based on another person becoming poorer, and the other person is one's relative.
Chen Lei calmed down, pretended to cooperate with the MLM personnel, and attended a few classes. Two days later, the MLM personnel held a large-scale sharing meeting at the Chaotian Cinema. A dozen successful people showed up to give their own opinions, and the atmosphere was described as "crazy"
It’s not an exaggeration at all. The applause in the conference hall of nearly a thousand people was thunderous and continuous.
The host said to everyone: "Today, our President Ma also came to the sharing site, everyone is welcome."
Amidst the applause, a man wearing a black suit and a slicked back hair walked into the venue, followed by a female secretary with extraordinary temperament. The female secretary took out a stack of speech scripts, but he said no. He walked onto the stage and glanced around the venue.
The venue fell silent.
"Let me just say one thing," President Ma looked at everyone, "My today is your tomorrow!"
Thunderous applause erupted in the venue. Everyone stood up, raised their hands above their heads, and began to applaud rhythmically.
At this time, Chen Lei in the venue suddenly felt someone stabbing him from behind. He looked back and was extremely surprised. It turned out to be his father. His father put his finger on his lips, said "Shh" softly, and then made a walking gesture.
At that time, President Ma on the stage was distributing bonuses to B-level pyramid sellers. The bundles of RMB made everyone in the venue excited. No one noticed that Chen Lei and his father sneaked out of the venue.
.
When he walked to the door, Chen Lei's father looked back and felt that President Ma standing on the stage looked very familiar.
He said to his son: "I remember, I have seen this person, I have to call the police as soon as possible."
Chen Lei's father is Dr. Chen from Yunling Town.
President Ma is a jerk.
An hour later, as soon as Paozi walked out of the venue, a pair of shiny handcuffs were cuffed on his wrists.
There is a wall near Huancheng Square, which has a history of more than 30 years.
For thirty years, every year, the wall became a little lower.
If a person stands in front of a wall, if he stands for thirty years, he will be close to and far away from something that can never be touched. That is the history recorded in the words on this public wall, from the big-character posters of that year to the plan
Fertility slogan.
This wall is connected to all the walls. The wall has been weathered, peeling scars, bullet holes record the range, and then branches sprouted. For four years, the wall was covered with green ivy, becoming some passing roads.
The original motivation for pedestrians to plant flowers and trees in their own yards.
In 1993, a notice about the rabies epidemic was posted on the wall, and the city's dog hunting team went everywhere to catch stray dogs. In that year, an old dog jumped over the wall with amazing strength.
In 1996, a worker painted over the old days and replaced the wall with an advertisement for an electrical appliance company. From then on, the advertisements began to be covered with advertisements, saying treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, certificate application, public relations recruitment, selling kidneys, selling
See through poker for psoriasis growth.
On October 29, 2001, a court notice was posted on the wall.
A primary school student stood in front of the notice and read seriously:

The court held a public sentencing meeting in Huancheng Square, and sentenced more than 40 criminals in accordance with the law. Bai Jingyu attended the meeting in person, and Hua Long also made a wonderful speech. More than a thousand people from all walks of life listened to the public sentencing meeting, and every sentence was pronounced
For one criminal, the crowd at the intersection burst into cheers. The public prosecution agency sentenced other criminals:
Tie Junwu, nicknamed "Tiezui", and Tu Chunming, nicknamed "Tu Laoye", were convicted of robbery and escape, and were sentenced to death with a two-year suspended sentence.
Cuban was convicted of theft and drug trafficking and was sentenced to 18 years in prison.

After being caught, he was able to confess the facts of the crime frankly, had meritorious service, and played a certain role in solving the case. Therefore, he was given a lenient punishment as appropriate and was sentenced to ten years in prison.
At this point, except for Brother Thumb, Ding Busi, and Gao Fei who are at large, all the criminal members of the No. 1 major case of the new century have been arrested.
That night, Bai Jingyu issued an A-level wanted order on TV. He called on all public security departments to take active action, mobilize the whole people, attack in an all-out manner, and lay down a dragnet so that criminals have no place to hide or escape. For clues to be found to solve the case or to directly
If one suspect is captured, the public security department will reward him with 100,000 yuan, and if all are captured, he will be rewarded with 300,000 yuan. Bai Jingyu announced the reporting hotline number and vowed to reporters:
As long as the three criminal suspects are not arrested, the Major Case Command will not cancel the case!
