Verdict of Fate
C99
As far as I know... As follows:
In today's China, all kinds of scams can be said to be a myriad, countless! Aside from some small street scams, large-scale scams included selling scams, winning the prize in a text message, winning the credit card scam, chain-link scams, and so on!
What if I were to ask you which of these scams is scariest, most violent, most shameful, most harmful, most tempting? It is believed that most people will answer that it is a peddling or winning prize scam. Because the former had a strict organization, a terrifying brainwashing method, and the temptation of suddenly becoming rich overnight! The latter used the greed and foolishness of human nature! They were indeed two brilliant methods. The creator of these two methods could even be considered a genius! But I want to tell you that the most terrible scam in China today is a chain game of all kinds! The reason why it was called the scariest was because not only did it possess the essence of the first two scams, it also possessed an invincible, terrifying, and unique advantage — — legality!
I am senior director of recruitment for a clothing chain, so I can't reveal my real identity, since I'm still in the job. (To put it seriously, I might be in danger of losing my life.) Today, I want to make my personal experience public. Although I don't know if it will work, I will do my best to wake up the masses of netizens to help -- save those poor franchisees (or those who are preparing to join the alliance)! As for the motive, I will mention it later! If you've seen it now, please keep reading it! I hereby implore you sincerely!
I was a Hebei citizen, graduated from a private university in Beijing in 2001. I studied marketing. Home conditions are very bad, parents are laid-off workers, really hope to be able to stand in Beijing, to take parents to enjoy the blessings! Only after graduating did he realize that it was really difficult to stand up in Beijing! I changed jobs four times in three years. It's not that I like changing jobs, it's not that I don't work hard. I have always worked very hard, and I am adept at finding ways to achieve twice the results with half the effort! But either the company can't get me the salary I need to get a foothold in the capital! Or the company was unfair. In short, there was always a sense of not being able to find the right talent! Now that he thought about it, he realized that he was too young and had too strong of a personality! In September 2004, by chance, I read in the newspaper about the company I work for. I was attracted by its recruitment terms that challenged high pay, plus my own strong, confident personality! I handed in my cover letter and went to the interview the next day! In the course of the interview, I showed considerable confidence and eloquence. After the interview, my interviewer (an elegant middle-aged woman who turned out to be the vice president of our company) said to me, "Your eloquence is very good. The company is in the midst of development and needs a talent like yours!" I felt very smug at the time! Then she introduced me to my duties, saying that the company's brand clothes had been imported from a certain country, that its production base was in Guangdong, and that Beijing was the center of recruitment. My job is to call the customers who want to join and invite them to join us in the capital! This job wasn't difficult at all. The first two days were just to listen to the colleagues around him talking to customers over the phone. After getting familiar with the situation, he would call them himself! Our salary is a percentage of the base salary! The base salary wasn't high, the majority of the income depended on the commission! Each incoming customer after inspection has a certain commission, the customer coming to the capital is received by the director of recruitment, and I also have a higher commission! All the new employees started with the regular operator! And so I began a memorable career!
Our office space is a commercial office building with five offices in a bustling area. A telephone room, a reception room (with eight small rooms, each enclosed, elegant, airtight, and with eight supervisors for visitors), a finance room, a general manager's office, and our model shop (for customers to see)! There were only a dozen or so people in our phone room (now there are nearly fifty), a desk, a computer, a telephone!
I was led to my desk, the deputy director told me to listen to adapt, and then left! The people around me ignored me and kept on making phone calls! At first, I wanted to find out what I needed to know about my work, but I resisted! I listened attentively for a while. This job was really not too difficult! First of all, the company in the major recruitment website has issued recruitment information, attracting customers to leave their contact information! Our company gets back the customer's information (for money) from the various websites and distributes it to us. We just have to call the contact number, tell the customer how good our clothing brand is, join the details and so on, and finally invite the customer to Beijing for an on-the-spot inspection! The difficulty lies in how to move customers with words!
After listening to my colleagues' phone calls for the whole day, I had a general understanding of the process, but I didn't really understand the details of the company. I organized about ten things: the history of the company, the history of the brand, the number of stores that have been added, the distribution, how to answer some difficult questions that customers have raised, and so on! After work, I will take these questions to the Vice President (hereinafter referred to as Director Han)! When Director Han heard my question, he smiled and didn't answer my question directly. He only asked me, "Do you want a high salary?" Of course I do! So she handed me a book: Go back in the evening and read this, and when the customer asks, just say it! He would slowly experience other aspects of his future work!
I went back to my rented apartment with a heart full of doubts, and carefully read through the picture book! It said that our company has been established for more than three years, and the brand acting as our agent has been operating abroad for decades! The clothes are so new, the materials are so good, there is a huge profit margin for joining the Alliance, many domestic television stations have our advertisement … Wait a minute. The way to join the alliance was to charge 30 thousand yuan for joining (legally, no refunds) and the first batch of goods was 30 thousand yuan (the first batch was not allowed to be chosen by customers, but was rationed by the company, which said to understand the local market. If the customer can not sell all can be returned to the company exchange)! How much will the company reward at the end of the year if they sell well? To tell the truth, even I was tempted after reading the picture book. If I had the money, I would like to go home and start a family! I think this project is really good! I think I've found a job that suits me! I will definitely be able to realize my self-worth here! After making up my mind, I went to an internet cafe to look up more information on the company and its competitors! If you want to do a good job, you must be fully prepared, just like fighting a war, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can win every battle! When I typed in the company name in Baidu, I found thousands of relevant information, I opened dozens of information to most of the recruitment website and the company's home page. If I don't look I don't know, but when I see the Merchants' net, I'm really shocked! For example, one U88 Merchants' Network alone has nearly ten thousand companies. The general category could be described as diverse. There were clothes, food, jewelry, small items, and even gambling techniques! As long as you can think of people who need all kinds of things! I looked at some of them, and they were all about how good I was, how I made money, and how there was no risk! If I read too much, my doubts will arise! The ways in which these brands are joined are similar to those of our company, and there may be some discrepancies in the details (some don't charge joining, but there are other costs, such as security, equity, etc.) that are essentially the same -- giving customers the feeling that "if you join, you will definitely make money!" Could these be swindlers? The thought came to my mind! I couldn't help but add the word "scammer" to the name of the company and click search again. This time, there were nearly a thousand links. I read a lot, most of them are to introduce our company is a leather bag company, the purpose is to cheat the franchisee joining fee! Some of the presentations were quite detailed. There were also some customers who had been tricked and wanted to take back some justice! After reading it, I have understood the nature of the company, but I do not want to believe it! I thought: Is this the malice of a competitor? I looked at a few other companies (including some in clothing). When I added "cheater" to these companies to do the search, without exception, I found a large number of links! After a whole night of watching, I completely understood how ugly these "chain joining" companies are (I still don't understand how these companies operate)! I don't know how I walked out of the Internet Cafe, my heart was filled with a feeling of loss! Seeing that it was almost time to go to work, I decided not to go! However, thinking that I already handed in my ID card, graduation certificate and other copies to the company yesterday, I still want to go once, to bring those back! When I arrived at the company, I called out to Director Han. She called a middle-aged man with the surname Wang and introduced him to me as a senior executive of our company. Let me ask him for advice on what I don't understand at work! As I was thinking about how to say I would resign, I answered half-heartedly! Maybe it was because he noticed that I wasn't in a good mood, so he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Young man, be more spirited!" Come, let me show you our model shop! I thought: Anyway, there's nothing to do today, just stay at the company for the day! Let's see what's going on! So I went with him to the sample room.
This is my first time in a sample room. The first feeling I get when I walk in is that I'm really beautiful, with a lot of taste and quality! All kinds of clothing classification clear, the hierarchy is clear, the color collocation has the visual impact force! No matter what city or county such a shop was in, as long as there was a bunk that was not too bad, customers would definitely come! Unfortunately, I know from my online knowledge that the beautiful clothes that attract the eyes here are not available to customers after they join the company (as to why I didn't know that at the time)! In the sample room, I happened to meet the company after the sale (it turned out to be a group of ruffians) to send a new sample, a group of clothes with very new styles. Manager Wang called for my help and hung these new samples up, replacing some of the older models! In the process of tidying up, I touched some clothing texture, all very good! He looked at the logo on the clothes. They were all company brands! What was going on? Since our company has these goods, why did the franchisee say that it couldn't get them? Was this really a blow from a competitor? The reason why I had so many questions at the time was because I didn't know anything about the garment industry before! It just so happened that the person who sold the goods took out a receipt and gave it to Supervisor Wang! After that, the sales staff left. Supervisor Wang and I continued to organize the sample rooms. At this moment, I really wanted to ask him my questions, but I didn't know how to do so. Supervisor Wang and I began chatting about family matters in a very intimate manner. Ask me a lot of questions, where is the person, come to Beijing for a few years, what did you do before, etc. I realized that we were from the same village after chatting with each other, so I suddenly felt closer! At this point, in order to clarify my inner problems, I showed great interest in the job and asked him to take care of me! And offered to treat him to a meal at noon! He agreed immediately! When I was about to finish sorting out the samples, I accidentally saw the transfer order that Manager Wang casually placed on the stage. The model of the clothes was written on it. color. Numbering. Price. The price usually varied from 150 to 300 yuan! I don't know if this is the price of a supply or a retail price. It's okay, I'll ask him at noon!
Returning to the office from the sample room, Manager Wang told me that I still don't need to call today. I will continue to listen to my colleagues call! This time, when I listened, I used my heart to observe everyone. I found out that each colleague had his own set of things to communicate with his customers. Some had emotional relationships with customers, some pretended to be professional, some even threatened customers (telling them that if they didn't come to the capital as soon as possible, they wouldn't get a slot), and some even claimed to be vice presidents of their companies! This was truly true when the Eight Immortals crossed the Sea. It would be more accurate to call it the Chaotic Dance of Demons! How could a formal brand make a person so cocky? I almost couldn't hold back a laugh! At this point, even if I don't ask Supervisor Wang, I know that this company isn't very honest! But curiosity drove me to a restaurant near the company at noon with Director Wang (I wanted to find out some details). I asked him at the table if he could drink. He can't normally, but today is my first day officially joining the company. I can drink it, but I can't overdo it! And so we each drank three bottles of beer! From the looks of it, he did not have a lot of alcohol, so he felt a bit dizzy after downing three bottles! Now that the time was right, I offered him a cigarette. I expressed my 'expectation' for the job again, made a compliment to him, and then asked him for his' experience '! After an hour I have all the questions I want to know
To put it bluntly, our company is a typical leather bag company!" However, it was legally registered! The legal person's surname was Zhu (Zhu was actually an old man who had retired for many years), and the real boss of the company was the mentioned Vice President Han! The company has no manufacturer at all, and the so-called brand is made up out of thin air (and legally registered)! In the model room those striking clothes are our company from the various brand apparel bought back to attract customers! The above trademark is our company sent to Guangdong, Zhejiang some of the factories tore off the original label and affix our trademark! As for the backlog we gave customers after they joined us, if they wanted to trade, they would have to trade for those items (the clothes were also re-labeled by the company)! However, the price had increased by more than three times! Imagine, the franchisees get, no matter how old the style, how poor the texture, their take-out price alone is already higher than the market retail price! How could he make money? How could he not go bankrupt? These are the "heartfelt words" that Supervisor Wang said to me (his original words are not like this, they are rather "artistic", I will directly translate them for him here)! Then he taught me some "work skills." For example, some customers would like to visit our physical stores, but we won't let them join us in Beijing (if there is a shop in Beijing, we will be exposed if they go there). This is to tell customers that opening a shop in Beijing is too expensive, the rent is too high, and the area is strictly required (less than 100 square meters), and so on! Other reasons were mainly to keep the customers from seeing it! If a customer wanted to see a store somewhere else, they had to do everything they could to evade it! Look at the factory said in Zhejiang, if the customer proposed to investigate, said the factory is not open to the public, not to visit! If the customer wanted to see a physical store, then he had to analyze whether the customer would actually join. If the customer didn't have much hope, then he might as well kick him out! If they really want to join, give them an address or two to go to (the addresses are not out of business yet, the company would say hello to the locals in advance and promise them that if they were able to get the customers to do so, they would benefit, the local franchisees would struggle to keep up and often agree!) This is what it means to be the accomplice of a tiger!) Apart from this, the customer's other requirements will be met as much as possible! There was only one goal — make them pay! Finally, Director Wang said to me, "It's not hard to do something else. Be smart and say something." The difficulty is the initial psychological pressure (i.e., the question of conscience)! He told me that when he first came into this business, he didn't want to do it either. If this society wanted to live a better life, they could not speak of their conscience! The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest is an unchangeable law!
When it was time to work in the afternoon, I went back to the phone room! At that time, I did not take Supervisor Wang's words seriously. I had already decided to not come back tomorrow! I just want to see the clowns again this afternoon! But I never thought my life would be changed this afternoon, I also became a clown!
At five o'clock in the afternoon, just as I was getting off work (and I appreciated the fact that I was ready to go home), I was just in time for the company's salary! In order to stimulate the competition of the staff, the company adopts a public salary system! Over ten operators had opened up more than 2000 RMB, the highest had opened up over 6000 RMB, the lowest had taken over 5000 RMB, the highest had opened up over 20 thousand RMB! Oh my god! I really didn't expect the salary in this industry to be higher than the average white-collar worker! I was deeply shocked (shocked by the money, I didn't know at the time how much money meant how many victims there were).
When I got home at night, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart! In front of me are all those piles of bills, which are exactly what I need the most! Am I going to give up the job? It's hard for me to find a job like this in Beijing, a place where you talk about qualifications and work experience. But if I did, my conscience wouldn't be able to take it! Since I was a kid, I don't dare to say how noble I am, but I dare to say that I've never cheated or hurt anyone! Every night I sleep with a clear conscience! But that tempting money was something I could not resist! And I believe that if I did, I would do the best! That night, I didn't even eat dinner. I just lay in bed and kept thinking. All sorts of thoughts were running through his mind! I thought of my bitter parents, I thought of my first girlfriend who despised me for leaving me in poverty, I imagined the scenery of wealth, and I bitterly denounced morality! I've thought about a lot … I don't know how I fell asleep! The next morning, I got out of bed in a daze, and somehow went back to the company! Standing outside the building where the company is located, I smoked four cigarettes in a row! The moment I put out my last cigarette and stepped into the building, I made up my mind: what morality, what justice, what conscience. Who cares about me when I don't have a meal! If one did not act on their own, the heavens would kill the earth and the heavens would destroy the earth! That's what I told myself! And so I began my life as a clown!
If there was still a trace of unease in my heart when I made the first call, even though I stuttered a little, when I got off work in the afternoon, my calls were very smooth. Countless lies spewed out from my mouth! On the third day of my official inauguration, I completed my first business — inviting an investor from a county in Shaanxi province to come to Beijing for an on-the-spot inspection! I still clearly remember that it was a couple who had been working outside for many years, saving a little money, renting a face in the town of their hometown, intending to open a small shop and be their own boss! They came to the company, I took them to the reception room, told them: This is our company's vice president (Director Wang) by him to receive you! I wasn't there when Supervisor Wang introduced the project to them! But half an hour later, I saw Supervisor Wang take them to the sample room! Coming out of the sample room, I saw that the couple's faces were full of excitement (or excitement)! After that, they quickly signed a contract with the company, then rushed home to prepare to "make a fortune"! I think they'll be so excited on the train home that they might even plot a beautiful future together! But the cruel reality would teach them a lesson! Less than two months later, I received another call from the couple. They shouted at me on the phone that our company had deceived them! When they had finished, I told them in a gentle voice: If you have any questions, you can call our customer service office (after the sale). Then I hung up! This argument was requested by the company! When the customers called them after they sold, it was for the sake of some goods that had been sent to them. The quality was not good, the price was too high, and the samples they saw in the store were all missing! The answer after sales is often that the company's goods are like this, original want not! Want to return the goods, return the joining payment? None at all! If you don't like it, come and sue us in Beijing! The reason why the company dared to be so arrogant is because we are "legal"! The contract signed by the company and the customer was a net without any cracks. As long as you signed it, you would fall into a trap. Basically, all the franchisees will go out of business in the end, it's just a matter of time. When you take out the contract, none of it will help you, and if you want to sue him, you will lose 100% of the time. And the chain joining industry is often very accurate to the customer group's positioning! Most of the franchisees didn't have much money, and people with real money and power wouldn't want this kind of small business! Therefore, in general, joining a company (some companies are security or equity funds) is not high, often no more than 12000 to 30,000 yuan, even if the first payment will not exceed 60 thousand yuan! The money was still available to a person who wanted to open a shop (not enough for a customer to borrow). Even if you want to sue our company, you have to come to Beijing to seek justice! At this point, the company's "legal" role began to manifest! First of all, the inspection will be determined according to the law that this is not a fraud case but a contract dispute! And then there was the long investigation, the adjustment, the trial. The company has a professional team of lawyers to help it avoid liability in terms of contracts, rhetoric, etc. A small number of investors who are unwilling to accept the loss or claim an explanation for the loss are easily dragged over or easily defeated by the company (most of them, as we have already said, are people with families, and cannot be in Beijing for a long period of time). The whole "Bureau" was extremely clever and profound, it was also extremely easy for them to escape the supervision and punishment of the law, they even used the law as a protective umbrella, if something happened, the extremely powerful lawyer would put the victim and the law in the palm of his hand, calmly fighting the case while cheating, there was no need to leave the market to give up the vested interest and flee in panic, making most of the investors and allies unable to guard against it! We can't be touched by the law alone.
In my first month at the company, I made it into the top three in sales! In the meantime, through my "studious" and "intelligent", I quickly mastered the main points of this line! He must identify the effective customers — those with shops! These investors are often already leased out and are looking at investment projects! They tend to be in a hurry (the rent is money every day), and it's the best kind of customer to invite them to Beijing. As long as he sees our company's advertisement, left the contact method, then when we call him, as long as we seize the customer psychology: tempting profits, short-term profits, moving commitment, the company before and after the guidance and help and so on! The majority of the customers would be moved. Come to the capital to investigate! When investors come to the company, our business executives brainwash customers further — "Profit and money speed, exaggeration of the company's name, fine model stores, sincere guidance, good after-sales service, huge advertising campaigns, and so on" make everything look like a god-given opportunity to earn money, and then, driven by a fevered brain, many investors can't help falling into our trap! For such customers, we have always been "chasing after and beating up"! If you can't communicate once, then try again. The third time … In short, he would not rest until the customers turned hostile! For those customers who have temporary names, we list them as "developable" and "bullshit". " Developable type "is that there is no storefront but is looking for or should have a suitable berth is just waiting for the project to rent again." We usually urge these customers to rent as quickly as possible, or we can first come to Beijing to check on the contract. Once a customer has decided on our project, we don't need to rush him (in fact, we won't even bother if he doesn't want to open the store once he has paid for it), we'll all go crazy looking for the store! As for the "bullshit" type, it was simply a casual question (some might open a shop, but it would at least take a year) or simply a casual chat! When we are in a good mood towards such customers, we will send him the home page of the company, let him understand in detail! Call him in a few days and ask him if there's any chance of development! If we are in a bad mood and we are sure that he is hopeless, we will "greet his mother (his father, his ancestors)". It doesn't matter, since he can't chase me to Beijing and beat me up! Does the job need to be vented!
In my work, I continuously draw on some of the "quintessence" that colleagues around me have when communicating with customers. On this basis, I continuously "innovate" (for example, to invent some beautiful future for the company, to lobby customers and the company to "develop together", to "advise" the customers, to guide some so-called marketing strategies). Through my own unremitting "efforts", in less than a year, I almost every month of "business volume" is at the top, the company broke the rules to me as a recruitment director (usually must enter the post two years before there is a chance of promotion)! Logically speaking, I should be very happy, but I don't feel anything! It's just that I know that my income will increase a lot. Actually, there wasn't much difference between being a supervisor and being an operator in essence. It was just that the former needed to "communicate" with the customers face to face, while the latter only needed to communicate through the phone! If I had to say the biggest difference was that as the director, I began to come into contact with some of the company's core secrets!
1. There are about 10,000 chain-store companies in Beijing of a nature similar to ours (different industries are essentially the same). Most of them were legally registered at home and abroad, with revered "titles" such as groups, chain-link headquarters, international groups, and international chain agencies. (It was easy to register a company in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, France, and so on.) There are a lot of connections between these companies. The owners of many companies were the same person. For example, our company's Director Han, other than our clothing brand, has three or four other accessories, toys and other types of chain companies!
The size of our company is only small and medium-sized among these companies, those big companies will usually invite some popular movie stars to act as their spokesperson! It's hard for ordinary franchisees to believe that a company like that is fake! Basically, the legal person representatives of all these companies were not the bosses behind the scenes. They were all old geezers and old ladies. Most of these "legal people" did not know that they were actually the bosses of the companies. The goal was that once an accident really occurred, the judicial system would not be able to investigate it! Generally, these companies will find one or two go-vern-element people to back them up in Beijing. It's almost as difficult to move these companies as fighting corruption!
Third, including our company, if you wear a legitimate coat, there will be tax implications! When I became a supervisor, I learned that when a franchisee paid money, the company would give him an account number to let the franchisee enter the money! The holders of these accounts were all personal! There was no money to be seen in the company's accounts! This would allow him to avoid taxes! And after the franchisee had paid the money, they would not be able to get the invoice, and would only give them a receipt! It is said that the transfer of money to the company accounts is slow, and the transfer of money to the private accounts of the staff members of the company will be faster.
Almost every such company has a group of goons (usually in the name of after-sales) in addition to a few dedicated lawyers. When he met a confederate who was duped, he would come to the capital to demand an explanation. He asked the public security expert body to report that the public security expert body said this was a contractual dispute. The business authorities said they could only punish the company for false propaganda. If he were to sue, that would be for the best. Regardless of the outcome of the case, he would have to sue him to death! If he still can't accept it, come to the company to cause trouble, sorry, at this time our "after sales" should go on stage! Now beat him up and send him to the Public Safety Experts Bureau to say that he has disturbed our normal work and won't even give us a drug fee! There were very few customers like this who spoke the truth! After most of the franchisees knew that there was no hope, they all swallowed this bitter fruit! Most of them could only close their doors. A small part of them treated the goods that we sent them as trash and then continued to carry on with the bulk goods.
I've been in this business for more than two years! My personal savings should have reached two hundred thousand dollars, with an average of more than ten thousand dollars a month! But I haven't had a really happy day in two years. My heart, my mind, my feelings, they all seemed to have gone unconscious! What I often think is that this is what happens when you get something.
In the last one year, there had been more and more complaints and revelations about the industry online. Some media had also named and exposed several companies that had cheated too much! Logically speaking, it should have been a warning to those who wanted to start a business, but the result was the opposite. By now, there are about 20 thousand such chain companies in Beijing! Every company (including ours) has a "thriving business"! In addition, large numbers of similar companies began to appear in all the provinces and cities of the country!
Sometimes I really don't understand, as long as those investors on the network to join the brand seriously check, will understand the general idea. So why are there still so many who have been duped? I analyzed it: most of the investors were rural labourers who were old enough to go back to their villages and settle down; some were laid off workers who planned to start their own businesses; and many others, of all kinds, for a dream of wealth! These people may not search online for information, or they may have found it, but they may not believe it, or they may have had their doubts but they were dispelled by us. (We have a variety of arguments against the attacks on the internet: the hostile assaults of our opponents, the rest of us are fake, we are real, we have a registered trademark, we can find our credentials on an authoritative website (national) (which can really be found, we spent money on it) and so on!) Investors often feel they have eyes, others are fooled others are too stupid, he will not choose wrong (when he understands the cucumber vegetables are cold)! In the economic society, the magic of money is getting bigger and bigger, more and more people have lost themselves in the temptation of money (including myself)!
Another reason is that now our kind of companies also pay more and more attention to the media propaganda! On the Internet, in newspapers, magazines, etc., you see ads from companies like ours everywhere (including authoritative newspapers and magazines; famous big websites: even television stations), and even more frequent appearances at formal chain fairs all over the country, often with lavish furnishings, huge lineups, and even a loud and exciting gong, even more sensational than a circus performance, which is essentially a psychologically suggestive, hypnotized, swindling carnival. Half a day after the opening of the exhibition, large and small name lists started appearing all around the stage. By the end of the third or fourth day, a large portion of the name list had already been replaced by the list of investors. In fact, it was very difficult to verify the names on both types of names. Investors who had been tricked into joining the alliance in such a situation would find it hard to turn back, no matter how their close friends or relatives tried to persuade them or remind them. Exhibits companies are the most straightforward to introduce these enterprises to display fees, because it is too easy to cheat money, there is no need to pay that exhibition fee and organizer Luo Tou.
It has only been about three years since our company was founded, and up to now, we have nearly 600 subscribers!
Here I calculate the average charge for a franchisee is 60 thousand yuan. Of these, 1,000 yuan was mentioned to the operator, 3,000 yuan was mentioned to the receptionist, 6,000 yuan (extra) was used to deliver the goods to the franchisee ($ 30 thousand)! The remaining 50 thousand yuan went into the boss' pocket. This way, our boss can earn thirty million yuan from this company for the next three years! Excluding the office rent, advertising fees and some miscellaneous expenses, there was a net balance of at least 20 million! An average of 7 million people a year! As I said earlier, our company is only small and medium-sized! According to my understanding of the industry, there are 20 thousand of these companies in Beijing, each earning an average of about 1 million a year! Such companies across Beijing make a net profit of 2 billion a year! What about the entire country? I can't calculate it! Was it scary?
In the ordinary work, the relationship between colleagues is very cold, everyone in the chat seldom talk about their own life! It's all about clients. He had to be more careful not to talk about morality, conscience, retribution, etc. Just as I was getting numb, something happened! It was this matter that had woken me up, which was why I had this confession!
It was one day in August of this year. Another examiner came to our company. At that time, he was received by a supervisor from our department with the surname Ye! The first thing I saw that day was a shock to my heart — a handicapped person (I can't tell you the specifics, the company will know I'm writing about them), dressed in dirty (but clean) clothes, and obviously a migrant worker. To be honest, I didn't think he was going to pay (and I didn't want him to be cheated, no matter how numb I'd become, I still felt sorry for the disabled). However, after a series of 'procedures' (enticement, explanation, visiting the sample room, and further induction), he actually paid to join the alliance! Manager Ye sent him out of the door after completing the procedures for him. At this moment, Director Han came to visit our office. Supervisor Ye spoke of this "business" to Director Han as if he was taking credit for it! Several of our supervisors were present at the time, and I happened to hear the details. The disabled person's surname was Yu, and he was a farmer from a village in a city in Jiangsu Province. Working abroad for a long time was the main source of income for the family. At the beginning of the year, there was an accident at the construction site, causing him to become disabled! The construction site had paid him a sum of money and his wife no longer let him go out to work, but both the children were in school and needed money. The two of them agreed to set up a shop in the town with compensation and the meagre savings from their family. He wanted to do apparel business, but he was too inexperienced to do so! It was a fortuitous opportunity for Old Yu to see our recruitment information in a magazine at home. In addition to being attracted by our project, it was also moved by our promise of "guidance on the whole process". According to the above hotline call, and was answered by the operator for a marketing, finally came to Beijing! Old Yu was very satisfied with the results. However, due to various concerns, he still didn't want to pay up immediately. At this time, Manager Ye took advantage of his inexperience and repeatedly promised us how we would help him (including providing him with a decorating plan, a practice guide, marketing training, and so on)! Finally, Old Yu was taken care of (he didn't know that all of the promises we made were actually a CD-ROM)! After listening to Supervisor Ye's story, Director Han praised him! Looking at Manager Ye's proud face, I suddenly felt disgusted! I faintly feel that my numb heart began to have a slight feeling! In the days that followed, I began to keep an eye out for Old Yu. A month later, I heard the news of his opening! Another month later, Old Yu came to the company again! He just wanted us to return the money back to him, if it really doesn't work, then at least half of it would work, he repeatedly emphasized in his tearful voice that it was his entire family's money that saved his life! The company treated him no differently from any other franchisee. They sent Old Yu to sue the company, but Old Yu actually said, "I won't go to court!" In the end, the impatient company that was pestered by Old Yu called the post-sale thugs dragged Old Yu out of the company like a dead dog! I don't know if they were old, but they never came! After the incident, Supervisor Ye often imitated Old Yu's tone of voice and said, "I don't know how to fight lawsuits!" To stir up trouble. Often in exchange for a roar of laughter! I never laughed once! I felt a pang of anger! Old Yu's face of despair was right in front of my eyes when he was dragged out! My numb heart was awakened by endless anger!
When a person does something wicked, if he doesn't think about it, then he doesn't feel anything! And once you start to reflect, you can't stop thinking about it! "Even if you try to force yourself not to think about it!" Old events "let me fully recognize the company's face, and also recognized their own face! Think about what I've been doing these past two years! He kept deceiving her! I didn't even dare to tell my parents what I did in Beijing. I can't remember exactly how many of my allies I've tricked in the past two years. Could any of them have fallen into despair after being cheated like Old Yu? I don't know!
It's been almost three months since then since I've signed a single form. The company has begun to resent me. I don't care! In the meantime, I found out the details of Old Yu's address and sent him 60 thousand yuan (anonymous). I hope it will alleviate the sins I have committed. I'd love to make up for all the allies I've cheated, but my abilities are limited! I also want to stand up and expose the company, but I don't dare. After all, I'm just an ordinary person who fears death. All I can do is to publicize my experience, and hope that the vast number of righteous netizens will be able to widely reproduce it!
In the end, I will tell you a few effective ways to identify the chain involvement scam. 1. Try searching Baidu under the name of the project and the name of the swindler. If you don't find any complaints, basically the project will believe that if there are more complaints, you are a swindler. This is a basic judgment for any project.
2. If the brand you want to join doesn't have more than two physical stores at the company's location (where you're visiting), it's a fraud! No matter how it explains it, don't believe it! 3. Liar companies generally adopt, inductive type, using kitten hook fish method to lure you. For example, small gifts, reduced joining fees, cash refunds, reinstallation costs and other measures. Be careful when these things happen!
4. Be sure to see that you are ready to join the brand's production workshops (or factories) and their warehouses! No matter how far they tell you about the site and the warehouse, you have to go and take a look! You can recuperate like this: Would it be better to be tricked into paying tens of thousands of dollars, or would it be better to spend hundreds of dollars to see it?
As long as all the franchisees comply with the four above, they will never be cheated. Unfortunately, you may not find a real one among ten thousand brands! Sadly, lamentably!
After writing this article, I will see if I can evoke the reaction of the relevant departments in the company, and whether I can restrain the ugly chain industry! In any case, I will resign within a month, I will not use the remaining hundred or more thousand of my card, I hope one day can help me to cheat people! I don't think I'll ever get a job like that again! I think even if I go to the restaurant to bring the plate can be very happy! I think I can have a good dream now!
I hope that the world can be less ugly, I hope that my sins can be repaid, I hope that the country will clear out this ugly industry, I hope that all the kind-hearted netizens can spread this post everywhere!
Invite a businessman to join the chain of cheating companies!

In today's China, all kinds of scams can be said to be a myriad, countless! Aside from some small street scams, large-scale scams included selling scams, winning the prize in a text message, winning the credit card scam, chain-link scams, and so on!
What if I were to ask you which of these scams is scariest, most violent, most shameful, most harmful, most tempting? It is believed that most people will answer that it is a peddling or winning prize scam. Because the former had a strict organization, a terrifying brainwashing method, and the temptation of suddenly becoming rich overnight! The latter used the greed and foolishness of human nature! They were indeed two brilliant methods. The creator of these two methods could even be considered a genius! But I want to tell you that the most terrible scam in China today is a chain game of all kinds! The reason why it was called the scariest was because not only did it possess the essence of the first two scams, it also possessed an invincible, terrifying, and unique advantage — — legality!
I am senior director of recruitment for a clothing chain, so I can't reveal my real identity, since I'm still in the job. (To put it seriously, I might be in danger of losing my life.) Today, I want to make my personal experience public. Although I don't know if it will work, I will do my best to wake up the masses of netizens to help -- save those poor franchisees (or those who are preparing to join the alliance)! As for the motive, I will mention it later! If you've seen it now, please keep reading it! I hereby implore you sincerely!
I was a Hebei citizen, graduated from a private university in Beijing in 2001. I studied marketing. Home conditions are very bad, parents are laid-off workers, really hope to be able to stand in Beijing, to take parents to enjoy the blessings! Only after graduating did he realize that it was really difficult to stand up in Beijing! I changed jobs four times in three years. It's not that I like changing jobs, it's not that I don't work hard. I have always worked very hard, and I am adept at finding ways to achieve twice the results with half the effort! But either the company can't get me the salary I need to get a foothold in the capital! Or the company was unfair. In short, there was always a sense of not being able to find the right talent! Now that he thought about it, he realized that he was too young and had too strong of a personality! In September 2004, by chance, I read in the newspaper about the company I work for. I was attracted by its recruitment terms that challenged high pay, plus my own strong, confident personality! I handed in my cover letter and went to the interview the next day! In the course of the interview, I showed considerable confidence and eloquence. After the interview, my interviewer (an elegant middle-aged woman who turned out to be the vice president of our company) said to me, "Your eloquence is very good. The company is in the midst of development and needs a talent like yours!" I felt very smug at the time! Then she introduced me to my duties, saying that the company's brand clothes had been imported from a certain country, that its production base was in Guangdong, and that Beijing was the center of recruitment. My job is to call the customers who want to join and invite them to join us in the capital! This job wasn't difficult at all. The first two days were just to listen to the colleagues around him talking to customers over the phone. After getting familiar with the situation, he would call them himself! Our salary is a percentage of the base salary! The base salary wasn't high, the majority of the income depended on the commission! Each incoming customer after inspection has a certain commission, the customer coming to the capital is received by the director of recruitment, and I also have a higher commission! All the new employees started with the regular operator! And so I began a memorable career!
Our office space is a commercial office building with five offices in a bustling area. A telephone room, a reception room (with eight small rooms, each enclosed, elegant, airtight, and with eight supervisors for visitors), a finance room, a general manager's office, and our model shop (for customers to see)! There were only a dozen or so people in our phone room (now there are nearly fifty), a desk, a computer, a telephone!
I was led to my desk, the deputy director told me to listen to adapt, and then left! The people around me ignored me and kept on making phone calls! At first, I wanted to find out what I needed to know about my work, but I resisted! I listened attentively for a while. This job was really not too difficult! First of all, the company in the major recruitment website has issued recruitment information, attracting customers to leave their contact information! Our company gets back the customer's information (for money) from the various websites and distributes it to us. We just have to call the contact number, tell the customer how good our clothing brand is, join the details and so on, and finally invite the customer to Beijing for an on-the-spot inspection! The difficulty lies in how to move customers with words!
After listening to my colleagues' phone calls for the whole day, I had a general understanding of the process, but I didn't really understand the details of the company. I organized about ten things: the history of the company, the history of the brand, the number of stores that have been added, the distribution, how to answer some difficult questions that customers have raised, and so on! After work, I will take these questions to the Vice President (hereinafter referred to as Director Han)! When Director Han heard my question, he smiled and didn't answer my question directly. He only asked me, "Do you want a high salary?" Of course I do! So she handed me a book: Go back in the evening and read this, and when the customer asks, just say it! He would slowly experience other aspects of his future work!
I went back to my rented apartment with a heart full of doubts, and carefully read through the picture book! It said that our company has been established for more than three years, and the brand acting as our agent has been operating abroad for decades! The clothes are so new, the materials are so good, there is a huge profit margin for joining the Alliance, many domestic television stations have our advertisement … Wait a minute. The way to join the alliance was to charge 30 thousand yuan for joining (legally, no refunds) and the first batch of goods was 30 thousand yuan (the first batch was not allowed to be chosen by customers, but was rationed by the company, which said to understand the local market. If the customer can not sell all can be returned to the company exchange)! How much will the company reward at the end of the year if they sell well? To tell the truth, even I was tempted after reading the picture book. If I had the money, I would like to go home and start a family! I think this project is really good! I think I've found a job that suits me! I will definitely be able to realize my self-worth here! After making up my mind, I went to an internet cafe to look up more information on the company and its competitors! If you want to do a good job, you must be fully prepared, just like fighting a war, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can win every battle! When I typed in the company name in Baidu, I found thousands of relevant information, I opened dozens of information to most of the recruitment website and the company's home page. If I don't look I don't know, but when I see the Merchants' net, I'm really shocked! For example, one U88 Merchants' Network alone has nearly ten thousand companies. The general category could be described as diverse. There were clothes, food, jewelry, small items, and even gambling techniques! As long as you can think of people who need all kinds of things! I looked at some of them, and they were all about how good I was, how I made money, and how there was no risk! If I read too much, my doubts will arise! The ways in which these brands are joined are similar to those of our company, and there may be some discrepancies in the details (some don't charge joining, but there are other costs, such as security, equity, etc.) that are essentially the same -- giving customers the feeling that "if you join, you will definitely make money!" Could these be swindlers? The thought came to my mind! I couldn't help but add the word "scammer" to the name of the company and click search again. This time, there were nearly a thousand links. I read a lot, most of them are to introduce our company is a leather bag company, the purpose is to cheat the franchisee joining fee! Some of the presentations were quite detailed. There were also some customers who had been tricked and wanted to take back some justice! After reading it, I have understood the nature of the company, but I do not want to believe it! I thought: Is this the malice of a competitor? I looked at a few other companies (including some in clothing). When I added "cheater" to these companies to do the search, without exception, I found a large number of links! After a whole night of watching, I completely understood how ugly these "chain joining" companies are (I still don't understand how these companies operate)! I don't know how I walked out of the Internet Cafe, my heart was filled with a feeling of loss! Seeing that it was almost time to go to work, I decided not to go! However, thinking that I already handed in my ID card, graduation certificate and other copies to the company yesterday, I still want to go once, to bring those back! When I arrived at the company, I called out to Director Han. She called a middle-aged man with the surname Wang and introduced him to me as a senior executive of our company. Let me ask him for advice on what I don't understand at work! As I was thinking about how to say I would resign, I answered half-heartedly! Maybe it was because he noticed that I wasn't in a good mood, so he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Young man, be more spirited!" Come, let me show you our model shop! I thought: Anyway, there's nothing to do today, just stay at the company for the day! Let's see what's going on! So I went with him to the sample room.
This is my first time in a sample room. The first feeling I get when I walk in is that I'm really beautiful, with a lot of taste and quality! All kinds of clothing classification clear, the hierarchy is clear, the color collocation has the visual impact force! No matter what city or county such a shop was in, as long as there was a bunk that was not too bad, customers would definitely come! Unfortunately, I know from my online knowledge that the beautiful clothes that attract the eyes here are not available to customers after they join the company (as to why I didn't know that at the time)! In the sample room, I happened to meet the company after the sale (it turned out to be a group of ruffians) to send a new sample, a group of clothes with very new styles. Manager Wang called for my help and hung these new samples up, replacing some of the older models! In the process of tidying up, I touched some clothing texture, all very good! He looked at the logo on the clothes. They were all company brands! What was going on? Since our company has these goods, why did the franchisee say that it couldn't get them? Was this really a blow from a competitor? The reason why I had so many questions at the time was because I didn't know anything about the garment industry before! It just so happened that the person who sold the goods took out a receipt and gave it to Supervisor Wang! After that, the sales staff left. Supervisor Wang and I continued to organize the sample rooms. At this moment, I really wanted to ask him my questions, but I didn't know how to do so. Supervisor Wang and I began chatting about family matters in a very intimate manner. Ask me a lot of questions, where is the person, come to Beijing for a few years, what did you do before, etc. I realized that we were from the same village after chatting with each other, so I suddenly felt closer! At this point, in order to clarify my inner problems, I showed great interest in the job and asked him to take care of me! And offered to treat him to a meal at noon! He agreed immediately! When I was about to finish sorting out the samples, I accidentally saw the transfer order that Manager Wang casually placed on the stage. The model of the clothes was written on it. color. Numbering. Price. The price usually varied from 150 to 300 yuan! I don't know if this is the price of a supply or a retail price. It's okay, I'll ask him at noon!
Returning to the office from the sample room, Manager Wang told me that I still don't need to call today. I will continue to listen to my colleagues call! This time, when I listened, I used my heart to observe everyone. I found out that each colleague had his own set of things to communicate with his customers. Some had emotional relationships with customers, some pretended to be professional, some even threatened customers (telling them that if they didn't come to the capital as soon as possible, they wouldn't get a slot), and some even claimed to be vice presidents of their companies! This was truly true when the Eight Immortals crossed the Sea. It would be more accurate to call it the Chaotic Dance of Demons! How could a formal brand make a person so cocky? I almost couldn't hold back a laugh! At this point, even if I don't ask Supervisor Wang, I know that this company isn't very honest! But curiosity drove me to a restaurant near the company at noon with Director Wang (I wanted to find out some details). I asked him at the table if he could drink. He can't normally, but today is my first day officially joining the company. I can drink it, but I can't overdo it! And so we each drank three bottles of beer! From the looks of it, he did not have a lot of alcohol, so he felt a bit dizzy after downing three bottles! Now that the time was right, I offered him a cigarette. I expressed my 'expectation' for the job again, made a compliment to him, and then asked him for his' experience '! After an hour I have all the questions I want to know
To put it bluntly, our company is a typical leather bag company!" However, it was legally registered! The legal person's surname was Zhu (Zhu was actually an old man who had retired for many years), and the real boss of the company was the mentioned Vice President Han! The company has no manufacturer at all, and the so-called brand is made up out of thin air (and legally registered)! In the model room those striking clothes are our company from the various brand apparel bought back to attract customers! The above trademark is our company sent to Guangdong, Zhejiang some of the factories tore off the original label and affix our trademark! As for the backlog we gave customers after they joined us, if they wanted to trade, they would have to trade for those items (the clothes were also re-labeled by the company)! However, the price had increased by more than three times! Imagine, the franchisees get, no matter how old the style, how poor the texture, their take-out price alone is already higher than the market retail price! How could he make money? How could he not go bankrupt? These are the "heartfelt words" that Supervisor Wang said to me (his original words are not like this, they are rather "artistic", I will directly translate them for him here)! Then he taught me some "work skills." For example, some customers would like to visit our physical stores, but we won't let them join us in Beijing (if there is a shop in Beijing, we will be exposed if they go there). This is to tell customers that opening a shop in Beijing is too expensive, the rent is too high, and the area is strictly required (less than 100 square meters), and so on! Other reasons were mainly to keep the customers from seeing it! If a customer wanted to see a store somewhere else, they had to do everything they could to evade it! Look at the factory said in Zhejiang, if the customer proposed to investigate, said the factory is not open to the public, not to visit! If the customer wanted to see a physical store, then he had to analyze whether the customer would actually join. If the customer didn't have much hope, then he might as well kick him out! If they really want to join, give them an address or two to go to (the addresses are not out of business yet, the company would say hello to the locals in advance and promise them that if they were able to get the customers to do so, they would benefit, the local franchisees would struggle to keep up and often agree!) This is what it means to be the accomplice of a tiger!) Apart from this, the customer's other requirements will be met as much as possible! There was only one goal — make them pay! Finally, Director Wang said to me, "It's not hard to do something else. Be smart and say something." The difficulty is the initial psychological pressure (i.e., the question of conscience)! He told me that when he first came into this business, he didn't want to do it either. If this society wanted to live a better life, they could not speak of their conscience! The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest is an unchangeable law!
When it was time to work in the afternoon, I went back to the phone room! At that time, I did not take Supervisor Wang's words seriously. I had already decided to not come back tomorrow! I just want to see the clowns again this afternoon! But I never thought my life would be changed this afternoon, I also became a clown!
At five o'clock in the afternoon, just as I was getting off work (and I appreciated the fact that I was ready to go home), I was just in time for the company's salary! In order to stimulate the competition of the staff, the company adopts a public salary system! Over ten operators had opened up more than 2000 RMB, the highest had opened up over 6000 RMB, the lowest had taken over 5000 RMB, the highest had opened up over 20 thousand RMB! Oh my god! I really didn't expect the salary in this industry to be higher than the average white-collar worker! I was deeply shocked (shocked by the money, I didn't know at the time how much money meant how many victims there were).
When I got home at night, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart! In front of me are all those piles of bills, which are exactly what I need the most! Am I going to give up the job? It's hard for me to find a job like this in Beijing, a place where you talk about qualifications and work experience. But if I did, my conscience wouldn't be able to take it! Since I was a kid, I don't dare to say how noble I am, but I dare to say that I've never cheated or hurt anyone! Every night I sleep with a clear conscience! But that tempting money was something I could not resist! And I believe that if I did, I would do the best! That night, I didn't even eat dinner. I just lay in bed and kept thinking. All sorts of thoughts were running through his mind! I thought of my bitter parents, I thought of my first girlfriend who despised me for leaving me in poverty, I imagined the scenery of wealth, and I bitterly denounced morality! I've thought about a lot … I don't know how I fell asleep! The next morning, I got out of bed in a daze, and somehow went back to the company! Standing outside the building where the company is located, I smoked four cigarettes in a row! The moment I put out my last cigarette and stepped into the building, I made up my mind: what morality, what justice, what conscience. Who cares about me when I don't have a meal! If one did not act on their own, the heavens would kill the earth and the heavens would destroy the earth! That's what I told myself! And so I began my life as a clown!
If there was still a trace of unease in my heart when I made the first call, even though I stuttered a little, when I got off work in the afternoon, my calls were very smooth. Countless lies spewed out from my mouth! On the third day of my official inauguration, I completed my first business — inviting an investor from a county in Shaanxi province to come to Beijing for an on-the-spot inspection! I still clearly remember that it was a couple who had been working outside for many years, saving a little money, renting a face in the town of their hometown, intending to open a small shop and be their own boss! They came to the company, I took them to the reception room, told them: This is our company's vice president (Director Wang) by him to receive you! I wasn't there when Supervisor Wang introduced the project to them! But half an hour later, I saw Supervisor Wang take them to the sample room! Coming out of the sample room, I saw that the couple's faces were full of excitement (or excitement)! After that, they quickly signed a contract with the company, then rushed home to prepare to "make a fortune"! I think they'll be so excited on the train home that they might even plot a beautiful future together! But the cruel reality would teach them a lesson! Less than two months later, I received another call from the couple. They shouted at me on the phone that our company had deceived them! When they had finished, I told them in a gentle voice: If you have any questions, you can call our customer service office (after the sale). Then I hung up! This argument was requested by the company! When the customers called them after they sold, it was for the sake of some goods that had been sent to them. The quality was not good, the price was too high, and the samples they saw in the store were all missing! The answer after sales is often that the company's goods are like this, original want not! Want to return the goods, return the joining payment? None at all! If you don't like it, come and sue us in Beijing! The reason why the company dared to be so arrogant is because we are "legal"! The contract signed by the company and the customer was a net without any cracks. As long as you signed it, you would fall into a trap. Basically, all the franchisees will go out of business in the end, it's just a matter of time. When you take out the contract, none of it will help you, and if you want to sue him, you will lose 100% of the time. And the chain joining industry is often very accurate to the customer group's positioning! Most of the franchisees didn't have much money, and people with real money and power wouldn't want this kind of small business! Therefore, in general, joining a company (some companies are security or equity funds) is not high, often no more than 12000 to 30,000 yuan, even if the first payment will not exceed 60 thousand yuan! The money was still available to a person who wanted to open a shop (not enough for a customer to borrow). Even if you want to sue our company, you have to come to Beijing to seek justice! At this point, the company's "legal" role began to manifest! First of all, the inspection will be determined according to the law that this is not a fraud case but a contract dispute! And then there was the long investigation, the adjustment, the trial. The company has a professional team of lawyers to help it avoid liability in terms of contracts, rhetoric, etc. A small number of investors who are unwilling to accept the loss or claim an explanation for the loss are easily dragged over or easily defeated by the company (most of them, as we have already said, are people with families, and cannot be in Beijing for a long period of time). The whole "Bureau" was extremely clever and profound, it was also extremely easy for them to escape the supervision and punishment of the law, they even used the law as a protective umbrella, if something happened, the extremely powerful lawyer would put the victim and the law in the palm of his hand, calmly fighting the case while cheating, there was no need to leave the market to give up the vested interest and flee in panic, making most of the investors and allies unable to guard against it! We can't be touched by the law alone.
In my first month at the company, I made it into the top three in sales! In the meantime, through my "studious" and "intelligent", I quickly mastered the main points of this line! He must identify the effective customers — those with shops! These investors are often already leased out and are looking at investment projects! They tend to be in a hurry (the rent is money every day), and it's the best kind of customer to invite them to Beijing. As long as he sees our company's advertisement, left the contact method, then when we call him, as long as we seize the customer psychology: tempting profits, short-term profits, moving commitment, the company before and after the guidance and help and so on! The majority of the customers would be moved. Come to the capital to investigate! When investors come to the company, our business executives brainwash customers further — "Profit and money speed, exaggeration of the company's name, fine model stores, sincere guidance, good after-sales service, huge advertising campaigns, and so on" make everything look like a god-given opportunity to earn money, and then, driven by a fevered brain, many investors can't help falling into our trap! For such customers, we have always been "chasing after and beating up"! If you can't communicate once, then try again. The third time … In short, he would not rest until the customers turned hostile! For those customers who have temporary names, we list them as "developable" and "bullshit". " Developable type "is that there is no storefront but is looking for or should have a suitable berth is just waiting for the project to rent again." We usually urge these customers to rent as quickly as possible, or we can first come to Beijing to check on the contract. Once a customer has decided on our project, we don't need to rush him (in fact, we won't even bother if he doesn't want to open the store once he has paid for it), we'll all go crazy looking for the store! As for the "bullshit" type, it was simply a casual question (some might open a shop, but it would at least take a year) or simply a casual chat! When we are in a good mood towards such customers, we will send him the home page of the company, let him understand in detail! Call him in a few days and ask him if there's any chance of development! If we are in a bad mood and we are sure that he is hopeless, we will "greet his mother (his father, his ancestors)". It doesn't matter, since he can't chase me to Beijing and beat me up! Does the job need to be vented!
In my work, I continuously draw on some of the "quintessence" that colleagues around me have when communicating with customers. On this basis, I continuously "innovate" (for example, to invent some beautiful future for the company, to lobby customers and the company to "develop together", to "advise" the customers, to guide some so-called marketing strategies). Through my own unremitting "efforts", in less than a year, I almost every month of "business volume" is at the top, the company broke the rules to me as a recruitment director (usually must enter the post two years before there is a chance of promotion)! Logically speaking, I should be very happy, but I don't feel anything! It's just that I know that my income will increase a lot. Actually, there wasn't much difference between being a supervisor and being an operator in essence. It was just that the former needed to "communicate" with the customers face to face, while the latter only needed to communicate through the phone! If I had to say the biggest difference was that as the director, I began to come into contact with some of the company's core secrets!
1. There are about 10,000 chain-store companies in Beijing of a nature similar to ours (different industries are essentially the same). Most of them were legally registered at home and abroad, with revered "titles" such as groups, chain-link headquarters, international groups, and international chain agencies. (It was easy to register a company in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, France, and so on.) There are a lot of connections between these companies. The owners of many companies were the same person. For example, our company's Director Han, other than our clothing brand, has three or four other accessories, toys and other types of chain companies!
The size of our company is only small and medium-sized among these companies, those big companies will usually invite some popular movie stars to act as their spokesperson! It's hard for ordinary franchisees to believe that a company like that is fake! Basically, the legal person representatives of all these companies were not the bosses behind the scenes. They were all old geezers and old ladies. Most of these "legal people" did not know that they were actually the bosses of the companies. The goal was that once an accident really occurred, the judicial system would not be able to investigate it! Generally, these companies will find one or two go-vern-element people to back them up in Beijing. It's almost as difficult to move these companies as fighting corruption!
Third, including our company, if you wear a legitimate coat, there will be tax implications! When I became a supervisor, I learned that when a franchisee paid money, the company would give him an account number to let the franchisee enter the money! The holders of these accounts were all personal! There was no money to be seen in the company's accounts! This would allow him to avoid taxes! And after the franchisee had paid the money, they would not be able to get the invoice, and would only give them a receipt! It is said that the transfer of money to the company accounts is slow, and the transfer of money to the private accounts of the staff members of the company will be faster.
Almost every such company has a group of goons (usually in the name of after-sales) in addition to a few dedicated lawyers. When he met a confederate who was duped, he would come to the capital to demand an explanation. He asked the public security expert body to report that the public security expert body said this was a contractual dispute. The business authorities said they could only punish the company for false propaganda. If he were to sue, that would be for the best. Regardless of the outcome of the case, he would have to sue him to death! If he still can't accept it, come to the company to cause trouble, sorry, at this time our "after sales" should go on stage! Now beat him up and send him to the Public Safety Experts Bureau to say that he has disturbed our normal work and won't even give us a drug fee! There were very few customers like this who spoke the truth! After most of the franchisees knew that there was no hope, they all swallowed this bitter fruit! Most of them could only close their doors. A small part of them treated the goods that we sent them as trash and then continued to carry on with the bulk goods.
I've been in this business for more than two years! My personal savings should have reached two hundred thousand dollars, with an average of more than ten thousand dollars a month! But I haven't had a really happy day in two years. My heart, my mind, my feelings, they all seemed to have gone unconscious! What I often think is that this is what happens when you get something.
In the last one year, there had been more and more complaints and revelations about the industry online. Some media had also named and exposed several companies that had cheated too much! Logically speaking, it should have been a warning to those who wanted to start a business, but the result was the opposite. By now, there are about 20 thousand such chain companies in Beijing! Every company (including ours) has a "thriving business"! In addition, large numbers of similar companies began to appear in all the provinces and cities of the country!
Sometimes I really don't understand, as long as those investors on the network to join the brand seriously check, will understand the general idea. So why are there still so many who have been duped? I analyzed it: most of the investors were rural labourers who were old enough to go back to their villages and settle down; some were laid off workers who planned to start their own businesses; and many others, of all kinds, for a dream of wealth! These people may not search online for information, or they may have found it, but they may not believe it, or they may have had their doubts but they were dispelled by us. (We have a variety of arguments against the attacks on the internet: the hostile assaults of our opponents, the rest of us are fake, we are real, we have a registered trademark, we can find our credentials on an authoritative website (national) (which can really be found, we spent money on it) and so on!) Investors often feel they have eyes, others are fooled others are too stupid, he will not choose wrong (when he understands the cucumber vegetables are cold)! In the economic society, the magic of money is getting bigger and bigger, more and more people have lost themselves in the temptation of money (including myself)!
Another reason is that now our kind of companies also pay more and more attention to the media propaganda! On the Internet, in newspapers, magazines, etc., you see ads from companies like ours everywhere (including authoritative newspapers and magazines; famous big websites: even television stations), and even more frequent appearances at formal chain fairs all over the country, often with lavish furnishings, huge lineups, and even a loud and exciting gong, even more sensational than a circus performance, which is essentially a psychologically suggestive, hypnotized, swindling carnival. Half a day after the opening of the exhibition, large and small name lists started appearing all around the stage. By the end of the third or fourth day, a large portion of the name list had already been replaced by the list of investors. In fact, it was very difficult to verify the names on both types of names. Investors who had been tricked into joining the alliance in such a situation would find it hard to turn back, no matter how their close friends or relatives tried to persuade them or remind them. Exhibits companies are the most straightforward to introduce these enterprises to display fees, because it is too easy to cheat money, there is no need to pay that exhibition fee and organizer Luo Tou.
It has only been about three years since our company was founded, and up to now, we have nearly 600 subscribers!
Here I calculate the average charge for a franchisee is 60 thousand yuan. Of these, 1,000 yuan was mentioned to the operator, 3,000 yuan was mentioned to the receptionist, 6,000 yuan (extra) was used to deliver the goods to the franchisee ($ 30 thousand)! The remaining 50 thousand yuan went into the boss' pocket. This way, our boss can earn thirty million yuan from this company for the next three years! Excluding the office rent, advertising fees and some miscellaneous expenses, there was a net balance of at least 20 million! An average of 7 million people a year! As I said earlier, our company is only small and medium-sized! According to my understanding of the industry, there are 20 thousand of these companies in Beijing, each earning an average of about 1 million a year! Such companies across Beijing make a net profit of 2 billion a year! What about the entire country? I can't calculate it! Was it scary?
In the ordinary work, the relationship between colleagues is very cold, everyone in the chat seldom talk about their own life! It's all about clients. He had to be more careful not to talk about morality, conscience, retribution, etc. Just as I was getting numb, something happened! It was this matter that had woken me up, which was why I had this confession!
It was one day in August of this year. Another examiner came to our company. At that time, he was received by a supervisor from our department with the surname Ye! The first thing I saw that day was a shock to my heart — a handicapped person (I can't tell you the specifics, the company will know I'm writing about them), dressed in dirty (but clean) clothes, and obviously a migrant worker. To be honest, I didn't think he was going to pay (and I didn't want him to be cheated, no matter how numb I'd become, I still felt sorry for the disabled). However, after a series of 'procedures' (enticement, explanation, visiting the sample room, and further induction), he actually paid to join the alliance! Manager Ye sent him out of the door after completing the procedures for him. At this moment, Director Han came to visit our office. Supervisor Ye spoke of this "business" to Director Han as if he was taking credit for it! Several of our supervisors were present at the time, and I happened to hear the details. The disabled person's surname was Yu, and he was a farmer from a village in a city in Jiangsu Province. Working abroad for a long time was the main source of income for the family. At the beginning of the year, there was an accident at the construction site, causing him to become disabled! The construction site had paid him a sum of money and his wife no longer let him go out to work, but both the children were in school and needed money. The two of them agreed to set up a shop in the town with compensation and the meagre savings from their family. He wanted to do apparel business, but he was too inexperienced to do so! It was a fortuitous opportunity for Old Yu to see our recruitment information in a magazine at home. In addition to being attracted by our project, it was also moved by our promise of "guidance on the whole process". According to the above hotline call, and was answered by the operator for a marketing, finally came to Beijing! Old Yu was very satisfied with the results. However, due to various concerns, he still didn't want to pay up immediately. At this time, Manager Ye took advantage of his inexperience and repeatedly promised us how we would help him (including providing him with a decorating plan, a practice guide, marketing training, and so on)! Finally, Old Yu was taken care of (he didn't know that all of the promises we made were actually a CD-ROM)! After listening to Supervisor Ye's story, Director Han praised him! Looking at Manager Ye's proud face, I suddenly felt disgusted! I faintly feel that my numb heart began to have a slight feeling! In the days that followed, I began to keep an eye out for Old Yu. A month later, I heard the news of his opening! Another month later, Old Yu came to the company again! He just wanted us to return the money back to him, if it really doesn't work, then at least half of it would work, he repeatedly emphasized in his tearful voice that it was his entire family's money that saved his life! The company treated him no differently from any other franchisee. They sent Old Yu to sue the company, but Old Yu actually said, "I won't go to court!" In the end, the impatient company that was pestered by Old Yu called the post-sale thugs dragged Old Yu out of the company like a dead dog! I don't know if they were old, but they never came! After the incident, Supervisor Ye often imitated Old Yu's tone of voice and said, "I don't know how to fight lawsuits!" To stir up trouble. Often in exchange for a roar of laughter! I never laughed once! I felt a pang of anger! Old Yu's face of despair was right in front of my eyes when he was dragged out! My numb heart was awakened by endless anger!
When a person does something wicked, if he doesn't think about it, then he doesn't feel anything! And once you start to reflect, you can't stop thinking about it! "Even if you try to force yourself not to think about it!" Old events "let me fully recognize the company's face, and also recognized their own face! Think about what I've been doing these past two years! He kept deceiving her! I didn't even dare to tell my parents what I did in Beijing. I can't remember exactly how many of my allies I've tricked in the past two years. Could any of them have fallen into despair after being cheated like Old Yu? I don't know!
It's been almost three months since then since I've signed a single form. The company has begun to resent me. I don't care! In the meantime, I found out the details of Old Yu's address and sent him 60 thousand yuan (anonymous). I hope it will alleviate the sins I have committed. I'd love to make up for all the allies I've cheated, but my abilities are limited! I also want to stand up and expose the company, but I don't dare. After all, I'm just an ordinary person who fears death. All I can do is to publicize my experience, and hope that the vast number of righteous netizens will be able to widely reproduce it!
In the end, I will tell you a few effective ways to identify the chain involvement scam. 1. Try searching Baidu under the name of the project and the name of the swindler. If you don't find any complaints, basically the project will believe that if there are more complaints, you are a swindler. This is a basic judgment for any project.
2. If the brand you want to join doesn't have more than two physical stores at the company's location (where you're visiting), it's a fraud! No matter how it explains it, don't believe it! 3. Liar companies generally adopt, inductive type, using kitten hook fish method to lure you. For example, small gifts, reduced joining fees, cash refunds, reinstallation costs and other measures. Be careful when these things happen!
4. Be sure to see that you are ready to join the brand's production workshops (or factories) and their warehouses! No matter how far they tell you about the site and the warehouse, you have to go and take a look! You can recuperate like this: Would it be better to be tricked into paying tens of thousands of dollars, or would it be better to spend hundreds of dollars to see it?
As long as all the franchisees comply with the four above, they will never be cheated. Unfortunately, you may not find a real one among ten thousand brands! Sadly, lamentably!
After writing this article, I will see if I can evoke the reaction of the relevant departments in the company, and whether I can restrain the ugly chain industry! In any case, I will resign within a month, I will not use the remaining hundred or more thousand of my card, I hope one day can help me to cheat people! I don't think I'll ever get a job like that again! I think even if I go to the restaurant to bring the plate can be very happy! I think I can have a good dream now!
I hope that the world can be less ugly, I hope that my sins can be repaid, I hope that the country will clear out this ugly industry, I hope that all the kind-hearted netizens can spread this post everywhere!
Invite a businessman to join the chain of cheating companies!
