On the evening of December 28, according to media reports, relevant departments publicly disclosed the progress of Darway Company, the operating entity of the well-known daily chemical brand "TST Court Secret", was suspected of using the Internet to engage in pyramid schemes.
According to the relevant departments' replies to the "Li Xu Anti-MLM Team" "Certification Letter", as early as June 5 this year, Shanghai Darwei Trading Co., Ltd. had been investigated for suspected pyramid schemes. The reply to the verification letter also clearly stated that because it used financial institutions to transfer or conceal the funds involved in the circumstance, our bureau has applied for preservation measures, and the case is currently under further investigation. It is reported that the funds frozen by Dalway Company this time by property preservation reached 600 million yuan (in two freezes, the main company was frozen by 300 million yuan, and the agent and team leader were frozen by 300 million yuan).
As of press time, the topic of " Zhangting " ranks first in hot searches. After clicking, you will find that it is basically the media targeting Lin Ruiyang Zhangting and his wife who lost control of the company's suspected pyramid scheme. It is worth noting that the relevant news and hot searches do not seem to have had much impact on Zhang Ting. According to reports, Shanghai Dalway Trading Co., Ltd. was investigated as early as June 5 this year, but judging from Zhang Ting's social platform, he still shared his daily life as usual and his mood was not greatly affected.
Just on the afternoon of December 28, Zhang Ting also uploaded a video to share a video of himself and his two children singing lip-syncing. After the news of the company being investigated and punished was exposed, in the early morning of December 29, "TST Court Secret" issued a statement through the official social platform saying that Shanghai Darway Trading Co., Ltd. is a legally operated company, and the investigation and punishment of media reports turned into "guiding our company to investigate risks" and stated that the company's operations are currently normal.
At around 7 a.m. on December 29, Zhang Ting also forwarded the secret content of TST Ting, which was a response to the news and netizens' speculation.
But from the comments, the company's response and Zhang Ting's reposting did not eliminate the netizens' doubts. The comment that was most liked was "The last one said so, and I was still stepping on a sewing machine inside." Later, there were netizens asking, "What is it not a pyramid scheme? The pyramid business model?"
Interestingly, Zhang Ting should care about netizens' comments very much. Not long after, when refreshing the comments, you will find that there are only less than 10 comments left. All the questions and jokes should not be deleted completely, and the comments left are all comments that support you.
According to the information query, Shanghai Dalwei Trading Co., Ltd. has a registered capital of RMB 231.8 million, and the legal representative is Lin Jirong (that is, the well-known actor Lin Ruiyang). The company's brand "TST Ting Secret" was founded by Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting in 2013. It focuses on cosmetics and skin care products, and is mainly sold through online malls and offline physical stores.
The company's development in recent years has been very prosperous, and the couple have also made a lot of money. In April 2019, some media and netizens revealed that Darway was preparing to go public in Taiwan, China. At that time, relevant personnel revealed that after the listing, the company's "million-million founders", that is, teams with monthly performance of more than 1 million, will receive some shares. There is no clear standard as to how to allocate them. Due to its good performance, the report also stated that in 2018, Dalway ranked in Shanghai's " Qingpu Top 500 Companies" with tax payments of about 2.1 billion yuan.
In order to promote the brand, TST Court secretly found Lin Chiling as the spokesperson for collagen drinks. At that time, hard-hitting broadcasts such as subway stations and bus stops were very common.
In addition, it also sponsored the fifth season of the reality show " Extreme Challenge ". Whether it is to invite endorsements or sponsor variety shows, it is a considerable investment, which shows that Dalway has indeed made a lot of money.
However, since the brand has always been labeled as a "WeChat Business", the price is comparable to that of a big-name counter, and it has always been questioned. Some consumers even revealed that they were "disfigured from the face" after using the secret product of TST. After going to the hospital for treatment, they were diagnosed with skin allergies and inflammation.The person in charge puts the blame on consumers, believing that allergies have nothing to do with their own products. There are many such situations. Many consumers have questioned that TST's secret products contain hormones, but the brand has always denied the rumors.
It is worth mentioning that Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting themselves are involved in the entertainment industry, so Darwei had four star bosses behind him, namely Xu Zheng , Tao Hong and Cao Ge and Wu Suling . Tao Hong has also attended related events under TST Court Secret.
And just one month ago, some media reported that Shang Ahui Tao Buting Culture Media Co., Ltd. had undergone a number of industrial and commercial changes, and the business scope was added to the release of TV series, while Tao Hong withdrew from the company's shareholders. Shanghai Taobuting Culture Media Co., Ltd. was established in July 2020 with a registered capital of RMB 50 million.
However, if you check the information of Shanghai Dalwei Trading Co., Ltd., you will find that Tao Hong is still a shareholder of the company, ranking 7th, with a shareholding ratio of 1.93%, and a subscribed capital of 4.474 million. Such a result may be that Tao Hong believes that the company has no problem with its operation, so she did not choose to withdraw. Another possibility is that after Dalway was investigated in June, it was difficult to make changes in industrial and commercial registration. In any case, this investigation will have some impact on Lin Ruiyang, Zhang Ting and Tao Hong! We will continue to pay attention.
