On February 8th, 65438, an activity named "The First International Trade and Investment Promotion and Negotiation Product Exhibition and Order Fair in Nanning, Guangxi" was held in Nanning Bonded Logistics Center. For several days in a row, thousands of people gathered at the exhibition site and frantically placed orders to buy products. What's more exciting is that customers can buy goods at the exhibition, and the maximum overdraft is 6.5438+0 million yuan, and they don't even need to pay for themselves. It is said that the money spent by customers can be provided by the organizer of this activity "Longan International Alliance Chuangfu Group Co., Ltd." (hereinafter referred to as Longan International), but the premise is that customers can become members only if they pay more than 300 yuan.

Did pie really fall from the sky? Who is Guiyuan International? The reporter of South China Morning Post investigated this confusing international fair and found that Longan International had long been regarded as a "disguised pyramid scheme" by the police in other places.

Teams from all over the country participated in the exhibition.

In recent days, many readers have reported that there is a large-scale exhibition in Nanning Bonded Logistics Center introduced by relatives and friends, and customers can overdraw and buy goods of 6,543,800 yuan without paying for the time being. I hope they go early, but it will be bad if they are late.

65438+February 1 1 at noon, the reporter of South China Morning Post saw at the scene that the exhibition was divided into two exhibition areas, one was an indoor exhibition area and the other was an outdoor exhibition area. Both exhibition areas are located in Nanning Bonded Logistics Center.

At the entrance of the bonded logistics center, a large number of people gathered in groups of three or five. Some people hold high the brands of Shanghai Team, Henan Team, Beihai Team and Qinzhou Team, calling themselves "Guiyuan Family".

Inside and outside the logistics center, there are many security guards wearing camouflage uniforms. According to the regulations, participants must wear a badge or license that says "Guiyuan International Trade" to enter. The reporter borrowed a badge from other places and entered the outdoor exhibition area. By this time, it was already crowded with people. Although it is an "international" exhibition, there are no foreign businessmen at the scene, and most of the people who come to the exhibition speak foreign accents.

You don't have to pay for shopping yourself.

There are goods from all over the country at the exhibition site, but only a few samples are put on each booth. Hundreds of booths set up with tents display all kinds of goods, the most interesting of which are two or three domestic new energy vehicles and several buildings from Qinbei Defense Zone.

Many customers are "generous" and don't need to know much about the characteristics of these goods, so they sign their names on the order. "My1100,000 yuan quota is almost used. Let's see what we can buy. " A man with a northern accent said that the exhibition opened on February 8, 65438 and lasted for seven days. He has been in Nanning for two or three days by car of Beihai team, and he comes to place orders and buy things he likes every day.

In front of the booth of a new energy domestic car, it is even more crowded. Customers will not hesitate to place orders. Many people claim to have spent hundreds of thousands a day, and mysteriously say, "You don't have to pay for this money yourself."

The indoor exhibition area is located in a building beside the outdoor exhibition area. The venues on the second and fourth floors of this building have been rented by the organizers, and the scene of customers participating in the order is as hot as the outdoor exhibition area.

Can 654.38+00,000 yuan be spent as a member?

Before purchasing goods, the customer should fill in the information on a ××× purchase order of your source group, including the team name, team leader (also called introducer) and member information. "How to buy your things, I don't need to spend money? When can you receive the goods? " The reporter asked a liquor exhibitor. "After joining the membership, you can place an order without spending money." The exhibitor said that after longan International transferred the money to their company account, customers would receive the goods soon. "When will Longan International give you money?" The reporter asked further. The exhibitors said vaguely that they were not sure, maybe before the Spring Festival, or maybe three or five months later.

In order to explore the myth of "free shopping 1 10,000 yuan", the reporter came to the new member registration area. This is the place where people gather the most. Customers lined up with ID cards. When registering as a member, the customer needs to fill in the name, telephone number, home address, QQ number, bank card number, etc. In addition, the form also indicates the referees of new members and which team they come from.

A new member who has just registered successfully said that he came here from Qinzhou to attend the exhibition after being introduced by a friend. He just paid the 300 yuan fee, and now he is a full member, so he can place an order to buy things. He only knows that he has a consumption quota of 6,543,800 yuan. As for how to use the money after purchasing the goods and when to receive the goods, he is not clear. "In short, you don't have to pay for it yourself, just look at what you like first, and you may get the goods for free."

At the consultation office of the venue, the staff member Deng was busy answering various questions from customers, but some questions asked by customers seemed to be difficult for him to explain clearly. Deng Neng's message is that after becoming a member, customers will get a purchase fund of 6.5438+0 million yuan. Of course, the money is not for members, but for the products of the company's distributors. Members choose products, sign orders, and the company pays the fees. However, the company did not give the money for nothing. To use this 6.5438+0 million yuan, nine people need to be introduced to join the club. Otherwise, the company will charge corresponding interest.

The organizer said that "this is a new entrepreneurial model"

In the outdoor and indoor exhibition areas, the reporter also asked several famous international staff, who had different understandings of the exhibition, and the answers were quite irrelevant. Some people say that longan International has a national asset, which is dedicated to helping the poor to start businesses and get rich. Some say Guiyuan International has very strong financial strength and advanced entrepreneurial concept, and it is absolutely capable of allowing its members to overdraw 6,543,800 yuan.

"If you only spend 300 yuan, you can sign a contract to buy 6.5438+0 million yuan of goods. Why not? " Most members think it doesn't matter whether things are true or not. Some exhibitors even pointed out realistically that the entrance fee from 99 yuan alone can show their products to thousands of people. Longan International doesn't pay its members to buy goods, and members don't deliver goods, so they don't suffer.

Obviously, the key to the success or failure of buyers and sellers in this exhibition depends on the strength of longan International. Is this company really that good? What is the purpose of holding such a large-scale exhibition?

At the exhibition headquarters, Xu, who claimed to be the person in charge of the event, was interviewed by a reporter. Xu said that this exhibition is a new entrepreneurial model. After becoming a member of the group company, everyone can get 6.5438+0 million yuan, and the products of the dealers at the exhibition are purchased without interest. If members develop according to their requirements, then 1 10,000 yuan need not be returned.

Xu said that the 300 yuan money paid by members is not the registration fee, but the textbook fee and training fee. Guiyuan International not only gives members money to buy products, but also teaches them how to start a business and how to get rid of poverty. After the exhibition, the company will conduct entrepreneurship training for its members in batches. As for the statement that each member needs nine people to join the club, Xu denied it. He said it was voluntary. If you can't find someone, there will be 6.5438+0 million yuan to use.

"Give each member 6.5438+0 million yuan for shopping. Didn't your company spend a lot of money? Where does this money come from? " The reporter continued to ask questions. Xu said that this is a trade secret and it is not convenient to disclose it.

Has been arrested by foreign police.

Be designated as "disguised pyramid selling"

When answering reporters' questions, Xu also answered many irrelevant questions. When he mentioned specific questions, he refused to answer them on the grounds that they involved trade secrets.

The reporter found that there are many questions about Longan International on the Internet. Some netizens believe that the practice of Longan International is suspected of new fraud. Thousands of people paid 300 yuan to join the club, and the exhibitors also paid 99 yuan's entrance fee, which was a huge sum. If you don't honor the promise of 6,543,800 yuan per person, it is false propaganda. It allows members to recruit people to join clubs, which is the usual means of MLM organizations.

In addition, as early as August this year, the police in Jintan City, Jiangsu Province also reminded the masses through the local media that "Longan International" is not reliable, but it is actually a disguised pyramid scheme.

In fact, after the exhibition began, Nanning police and the industrial and commercial bureau of the jurisdiction also intervened in the investigation. A person from the Liangqing District Administration for Industry and Commerce told the reporter that this exhibition has relevant licenses and the company affiliated to the organizer is also formal. 12 10 went to the scene to collect evidence after receiving the complaint, but found no relevant pyramid scheme information, but the fact that some people joined the club. At present, they have interviewed the person in charge of the organizer, and how to characterize their behavior is still under study.
