QuanjianThe empire is about to collapse.
On January 7, 2019, the joint investigation team of " Quanjian Incident " announced that 18 criminal suspects, including Shu Moumou, the actual controller of Quanjian Natural Medicine Technology Development Co., Ltd., have been criminally detained in accordance with the law. On January 1, 2019, the Tianjin Public Security Bureau filed a case against Quanjian Natural Medicine Technology Development Co., Ltd. for suspected organizing and leading pyramid schemes and false advertising. On January 2, the public security organs filed a case against Zhu Moumou, who was suspected of practicing medicine in Quanjian Cancer Hospital.
This time, the heavy blows of rectification of the tragedy of the destruction of family and the loss of savings finally responded to the public's concerns. However, the public is more concerned about whether the breeding ground for pyramid schemes can be completely eliminated. If the breeding ground for pyramid schemes is still hidden by us, then when a "Quanjian" falls, the next "Quanjian" will still stand up.
CCTV comments expressed the same concerns with the article titled "Objectively, relevant departments have become pyramid scheme protection umbrellas".
article says: "In contrast, our supervision, we have to say that the relevant departments have not improved the supervision concept and means due to the new changes in pyramid schemes; we have to admit that there are also regulatory agencies and supervisors who use the backward and vague areas of regulatory measures, objectively becoming a protective umbrella for pyramid schemes and pyramid scheme organizations. There is no doubt that both the public and consumers should improve their judgment ability, understand the harm of pyramid schemes, do not participate in it, and cannot join it to harm others. But we must also see that in the market economy environment, in a sense, there are no unqualified consumers, only unqualified ones. But we must also see that in a market economy environment, there are no unqualified consumers, only unqualified ones. But we must also see that in a sense, in a sense, there are no unqualified consumers, only unqualified ones. Supervisors! It is human nature to seek profit and avoid harm. It is beneficial and may be huge profits. If it exists and is not stopped, it will be difficult for some people to resist the temptation. The establishment and function of regulatory departments is to allow them to promptly discover, judge, govern, regulate in a timely manner, and regulate in a timely manner to target the behavior of unruly and order in the market, so as to maintain the order of the market and protect the public's interests. Failure to discover in time is a dereliction of duty; ignoring it after discovering it is an absurd work; if you know it is a pyramid scheme and still be in love with it, it is a malfeasance! "
As this article says: news about pyramid schemes has been heard all these years. But what we see and hear are basically how many pyramid scheme organizations have been cracked down on, how many people who are trapped in pyramid schemes or almost caught in pyramid schemes have been rescued, and how many losses have been helped to recover from consumers. The final conclusion is almost without exception. We hope that everyone will keep their eyes open, not seek huge profits, not engage in pyramid schemes, and do not join pyramid scheme organizations. If you find pyramid schemes and pyramid scheme organizations, you should call the police in time.
But the actual situation is that consumers are deceived and people are trapped in pyramid scheme organizations are still rampant. The sales form of
direct sales has been in China for nearly 30 years. China's crackdown on pyramid schemes is not unacceptable. The " direct sales management regulations ", "Prohibited pyramid schemes" and "Advertising Law" were issued many years ago, and various actions to combat pyramid schemes have never been interrupted.
On December 14, 2018, at the on-site promotion meeting for the crackdown on pyramid schemes in the key cities for rectification of pyramid schemes held in Beihai, Guangxi, relevant departments disclosed data: Since 2018, the public security organs in 11 key cities have filed 938 criminal cases involving pyramid schemes, detained 3,701 people, arrested 1,185 people, and the industrial and commercial departments have completed 5,755 cases involving pyramid schemes, and fined more than 26 million yuan, and the work of combating pyramid schemes has made phased progress.
In April 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued an opinion on further strengthening the crackdown on pyramid schemes. The opinions pointed out that the current situation of cracking down on pyramid schemes is still very serious, and illegal and criminal activities of online pyramid schemes are spreading rapidly. More effective measures are urgently needed to rectify them. Although the gathering pyramid schemes in other places are generally controllable, they are still relatively prominent in some key areas.
At that time, the State Administration for Market Regulation would list Langfang, Beihai, Nanning , Nanjing, Wuhan, Changsha, Nanchang, Guiyang, Hefei, Xi'an, and Guilin as key cities for pyramid scheme rectification in 2018.
There is no Tianjin where Quanjian is located in this list of cities with key rectification of pyramid schemes. We can speculate that the situation of pyramid schemes in the above cities may be more serious than Tianjin.
The direct sales of health products in China, which has been through more than 30 years, is still negative under the premise of certain supervision.
The WeChat official account of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission "Chang'an Sword" commented: The Quanjian case once again tells us that in the trajectory of the development of China's rule of law, there are still historical debts that have not been paid off. The losses of this debt cannot be endlessly borne by the people, and we must never always ask netizens to ask: What have you done earlier?
Health products have been sold directly for 30 years, and the more you manage, the more you become, the more chaotic the "debts". Can you pay it back this time due to the Quanjian incident?
1987, first year of direct sales
In the early days of reform and opening up, when economic conditions improved, the people began to pay attention to their health, and this awareness also formed the basis of China's health care products market. Once upon a time, so-called therapies such as drinking kombucha, drinking cold water, shaking hands and even pumping chicken blood were all the rage. Mr. Ma Ji wrote the crosstalk "A Gust of Wind" for this, satirizing everyone's blindness at that time.
If we trace back to the first year of direct sales of health products in China, 1987 was a well-documented year - this year, China's reform and opening up entered its tenth year. On October 8 of that year, the Ministry of Health implemented the "Regulations on the Management of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Health Drugs", and my country's "medicine and healthy character" system began to be implemented. At that time, there was a term for health products as "health drugs", which was different from drugs with stricter approval.
It was also in 1987 that Hangzhou Baoling Co., Ltd. launched the ginseng royal jelly product, opening the curtain of the Chinese health care product market. At that time, 42-year-old Zong Qinghou was a representative of Baoling's oral liquid by borrowing 140,000 yuan to contract the school-run enterprise distribution department of Hangzhou Shangcheng District, which had been losing money for years. In the first year, Zong Qinghou made a good profit, but the news that ginseng royal jelly contained hormones spread wildly. He understood that this product could not be made any longer. The next year, he simply went to the Department of Nutrition, the only nutrition major in universities in the country, at that time, and found Zhu Shoumin, director, and asked him to help develop an oral solution to solve the anorexia problem of children, and named it " Wahaha Children's Nutrition Solution". Zong Qinghou, who is good at selling, wrote an advertising slogan for oral liquid - "Drinking Wahaha, eating will make you feel good." It sold over 100 million yuan in three years. It can be said that Zong Qinghou’s first pot of gold came from health products.
In 1987, Japan's most infamous pyramid scheme company, Japan Life, traveled across the ocean to Shenzhen and became the "founder" of China's pyramid schemes. At that time, "Japan Life" sold magnetic health mattresses to Chinese consumers. The company used the slogan of "replace medical equipment and solve physical troubles" in Japan and used the "subscribe and dividend" method to deceive the elderly into "subscribe" magnetic health mattresses, and promised that after the mattresses "subscribe" would be 6% profit per year after they were rented through the company. In addition, members can also receive a 6% publicity fee every year after pulling people off the line.
After "smuggling" into Shenzhen, the forefront of China's reform and opening up, the novel model of "multi-level income" of "Japanese Life" quickly captured a group of Chinese people who were eager to get rich. Soon, the "Japanese Life" members were all over the country.
According to today's standards, ginseng royal jelly and children's nutritional solution are health foods, and magnetic mattresses are health equipment. These two categories are direct-selling products allowed by the Ministry of Commerce. The term "health care medicine" has been eliminated, either "drugs" or "health care food". Since the approval and supervision of "health foods" are much lower than that of "drugs", this also laid the groundwork for the wild growth of "health foods" in China.
1994, the pyramid selling of health products is rising
In fact, before the direct sales management regulations and the Regulations on Prohibition of pyramid selling were issued in September 2005, direct sales in China were called "pyramid selling". In English, "direct sales" and "pyramid schemes" are the same word: Direct Selling, which refers to the sales model of skipping middlemen (and making a difference) to provide products and services directly to consumers.
Modern direct sales model originated in the United States. In August 1945, with the explosion of two atomic bombs, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, humans experienced the power of geometric multiplication chain reactions for the first time.Lee S. Mytinger and William S. Casselberry of California, USA, were inspired by it and decided to apply the geometric doubling of atomic bomb fission into marketing and circulation channels to create a new sales system - the income of each direct seller not only includes his own sales, but also the sales of subordinate direct sellers. During the Great Depression, this multi-level team-paid sales model attracted many unemployed workers and housewives.
But this sales system began to have variants in the 1960s - " mouse ", which is what we call pyramid schemes today. Products and services are no longer important. How to "hit people" to develop the next generation is the king. Soon, the US government came forward to supervise, and the "Rat Club" lost its market in the United States.
But this form has grown rapidly in Japan, with far-reaching impacts like an atomic bomb explosion. During its heyday, a pyramid scheme company called "The First Club in the World" had as many as 1.8 million members, accounting for 2% of Japan's population.
In the early 1970s, the oil crisis broke out and the Japanese economy fell into a depression. Companies began to pilot pyramid schemes in order to survive. The "original origin" of Chinese pyramid schemes mentioned above, "Japanese Life", was born in this context. Unlike the "world's first club" who makes a fortune by making a fortune, "Japan Life" company is more concealed under the guise of "high-tech" health products.
In order to promote the company's health products, "Japan Life" sent a large number of ground promotion specialists to carry out carpet bombing of the elderly community, inviting the elderly to participate in various activities, including hot spring bathing and massage... Taking the opportunity to get closer to the elderly, eliminate their concerns, and then bring them into the trap step by step. In this way, the various health care traps targeting the elderly in Chinese society are the remaining ones that "Japanese Life" played back then.
In the 1990s, China, which further reformed and opened up, encouraged foreign investors to invest in China. Stimulated by the good situation, in 1993, "Japan Life" simply established a joint venture in Shenzhen and gave a very pleasing name: Ribaofulai. The company transports raw materials from Japan, processes them into magnetic health mattresses in Shenzhen, and then sells them through pyramid schemes, which is three times the price of the Japanese market.
In order to quickly expand the pyramid scheme network, "Japan Life" has set its sights on the university campus. One of the means of expansion is to set up scholarships in universities to win college students' favor and trust in the company. Then, "Japan Life" encouraged college students to buy a magnetic health mattress admission card priced at up to 15,000 yuan. Under the induced "Dream of Getting Rich", the students joined the group one after another. Just one year later, the monthly turnover of "Ribao Laifu" exceeded 1 billion yuan, and its pyramid scheme personnel reached 30,000, including many college students who are not well-informed. Although
is the first to enter the Chinese market, "Japan Life" is not the first direct sales company to set up a company in mainland China. On January 23, 1990, Avon invested US$27.95 million to jointly establish a "China-US Joint Venture Guangzhou Avon Co., Ltd." with Guangzhou Cosmetics Factory. Two years later, in September 1992, Amway (China) Daily necessities Co., Ltd. was officially established in Guangzhou.
With the success of US direct sales companies in the Chinese market, starting from 1993, other direct sales companies have entered the mainland: Beijing Stinmo Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Shidian Computer Software Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Nilede (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Yating Daily Chemical Co., Ltd., Newman Home... It is understood that at that time, almost all provincial capitals and coastal cities in China had direct sales companies activities. According to industry insiders, there were nearly 200 pyramid scheme companies with business licenses and no business licenses at that time, and there were no less than 1 million people engaged in direct sales activities.
Among the direct sales companies at that time, health food was just one of the categories, and cosmetics similar to Avon, cleaning supplies from Amway and "Japan Life" health equipment were also very popular.
, and the gradually hot-selling Chinese health foods ushered in a turning point in 1994. That year, the National Bureau of Statistics conducted a survey on 35 large and medium-sized cities. More than 30% of families would buy such health foods to give to relatives and friends. However, teenagers over 10 cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou took up as much as 83% of them.
At the same time, China's health care products market has entered a period of low tide - in the past seven or eight years, Sun God, Wahaha, Chinese turtle essence, and various pollen and honey oral liquids have made the public consumers feel a little tired. In 1994, Wu Siwei, who once sold No. 1, and his father Wu Bingxin launched Sanzhu oral liquid, which not only bombarded the media through advertising, but also promoted products through free medical consultations by doctors. The Wu father and son also established prefecture-level subsidiaries, county-level offices, township-level publicity stations, and village-level publicity personnel. A bucket of paint oil is everywhere at the beginning and end of the village, and the places where you can write are filled with advertisements of "Sanzhu Oral Liquid".
After a year of hard work, the sales of "Sanzhu Oral Liquid" reached 125 million yuan, 2 billion yuan in 1995, and 8 billion yuan in 1996. Since then, Sanzhu Group has become the leader in the national health care products industry. Behind Sanzhu Oral Liquid is a huge sales system: Sanzhu Group has registered 600 subsidiaries in major cities across the country, 2,000 offices in county and township areas, and the total number of marketing personnel exceeds 150,000.
It can be said that Sanzhu Oral Liquid, which was born in 1994, has its successful model and has been imitated by many health products companies. Also in 1994, the Chinese Society of Health Science and Technology hosted a health product expo in Beijing's National Culture Palace. Zhu Baoguo packed the entire round hall, as well as the exterior facade of the main building of the National Palace Museum and all the lawn fences in front of the building to promote his wife's oral liquid.
The direct sales industry in China in 1994 also needs to transform. This year, Hong'an Jufu, who used the "Rat Club" to sell pyramid selling jewelry and jewelry, was exposed. The State Administration for Industry and Commerce issued the "Notice on Suppressing Illegal Acts of Multi-level Pyramid Selling Activities" (Document No. 233) and the "Notice on Investigating and Punishing Illegal Acts in Multi-level Pyramid Selling Activities" (Document No. 240). At this point, the development speed of illegal pyramid schemes across the country has been curbed. Sanzhu's success has also allowed more direct sales companies to see unlimited business opportunities for health care products.
1998, pyramid schemes are illegal
On April 21, 1998, the State Council issued the "Notice on the Comprehensive Ban of Pyramid schemes Business Activities", stipulating that "all pyramid schemes business activities will be stopped immediately." The "Pyramid Selling Governance Measures" issued by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce a year ago also failed, and direct sales enterprises entered winter overnight.
Why is the government’s attitude towards pyramid schemes very different in just one year? It turned out that in 1997, companies represented by Xingtian and Shuang Ankang made a slogan "Making Money for MLM". In addition, a large number of illegal MLM companies implemented the rat club system, so that illegal MLM was too rampant.
In 1997, Sanzhu Oral Liquid became a "cross-the-street mouse" like Changsheng Bio in 2018 - an old farmer in Hunan died of ulceration in 1996 because she drank Sanzhu Oral Liquid. In 1997, the Changde Intermediate People's Court sent Sanzhu oral liquid to a laboratory in Beijing for testing. The results showed that Sanzhu oral liquid was a "failed product." For a time, the whole society "criticized" Sanzhu Oral Liquid. In just one month, the sales of all products of Sanzhu Group fell from billions to less than 10 million yuan.
In 1998, Sanzhu Group, which was overwhelmed by huge debts, filed for bankruptcy. By 1999, Sanzhu Group, which was unable to make ends meet, closed down more than 200 subsidiaries and almost all workstations and offices. Although Sanzhu Group won the second instance in the end, it was no longer meaningful to Sanzhu Group, which had long been in vain and had a reputation of bankruptcy. In 2000, Sanzhu Group's sales in the national market almost stopped.
In response to the "one-size-fits-all" ban in 1998, foreign direct sales companies quickly began "crisis public relations". One week after the promulgation of the
Act, Amway, Avon, Mary Kay , Tupperware and other companies took advantage of the opportunity of Wu Yi, the State Councilor in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs at the time, to meet with US Trade Representative Balshevsky, and proposed to the Chinese government to allow foreign-invested direct sales enterprises to "operate normally" and "protect the legitimate rights and interests of foreign-invested companies." Ten days later, then-U.S. President Clinton wrote in a letter to the International Direct Sales Association: "We have asked the Chinese government to lift its market barriers and allow direct sales companies to continue to expand their business in China.The US Business Representative will focus on the above issues when discussing bilateral trade and China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). "
On June 18 of this year, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Domestic Trade Bureau and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce issued the "Notice on Issues Related to the Change of Sales Methods of Foreign-invested pyramid schemes", which clearly stipulates: "Foreign-invested pyramid schemes must be converted into the operating model of 'shop + hired personnel sales'". It also approved the transformation of Amway, Avon, Mary Kay, Rihui, Fudi , Shanghe, Perfect, Baimei, Tupperware, and Nalis 10 foreign-invested direct sales enterprises
Although the government stipulates that this form of sales is more like retail rather than direct sales, for foreign direct sales companies, being able to survive is a victory. After all, the end of being banned is very miserable. For example, "Japan Life" business plummeted, the Japanese head fled with the money, and the pyramid scheme network was completely paralyzed.
Of course, some companies temporarily withdraw from the Chinese market, such as Tianshi company established in 1995 and instead explored overseas markets. This company is called " Quanjian’s “Tianjin direct sales company has the financial resources to go to Russia, Thailand, Germany, Indonesia , Kenya and France to hold annual meetings.
, Tianshi started its business with high calcitonin, a health food; its rise is related to obtaining a direct sales license in 2010. Yes, you read that right, some direct sales companies can do more illegal activities after legalization.
2005, direct sales legalization
On December 11, 2001, China officially became a member of the WTO. In its protocol to join the WTO, the Chinese government promised that within three years of joining the WTO, my country will lift the restrictions on "wholesale and retail services without fixed locations". This means that China will relax the direct sales industry after joining the WTO. How to release
? Legislative first!
In September 2003, during the 7th China Investment and Trade Fair in Xiamen, the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and other departments invited Amway, Avon, Perfect, Southern Lee Kum Kee, Mary Kay, Ruxin and Herbalife discuss direct sales legislation. One year later, the Ministry of Commerce and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce took the lead in holding the direct sales forum of the China Investment and Trade Fair, which opened, including Amway, Avon, Perfect, Guangdong South Lee Kum Kee (later renamed Infinitus), Mary Kay, Ruxin, Kang Bora, Rihui, Fudi, Shanghe, Baimei, Tupperware, Naris, Baojian, Sunny, Sunny, and other foreign-funded enterprises, as well as Dalian Zhenao Nucleic Acid, Fujian Fulong Company, New Era Health Industry, Tian Domestic enterprises such as lion and Sun God are on site.
In 2005, the "Direct Sales Management Regulations" and the "Prohibition of Pyramid Selling Regulations" were officially issued. So far, direct sales can only be single-level and the bonus cannot exceed 30% allocation rate. In other countries and regions in the world, multi-level team remuneration is allowed, which is also the reason why the direct sales industry attracts so many practitioners.
Executive Deputy Director of the China Direct Sales Research Center of Nanjing University Dong Yiren told Xinmin Weekly that the direct sales book It means that sales staff feel good after using the product and sincerely recommend it to others, and sales staff will get a certain reward from it. This is somewhat similar to today's social e-commerce - users get rebates after sharing it.
But if it is just a "middleman to turn the price difference", the "one-to-N" face-to-face sales model cannot satisfy some people's desire to make a lot of money. And if a certain proportion of profit can be drawn from the next home of development, it will be more attractive.
In Dong Yiren's view, the current direct sales company in China is currently in China , almost all the direct sales staff pay multiple levels of teams, but the method is clever. For example, letting a direct salesperson with excellent performance become a dealer of a direct sales company, which is an independent legal person after registration with the industrial and commercial department. This dealer manages one or more direct sales teams and receives compensation from it, which can effectively avoid the 30% limit. After the
Quanjian incident was exposed, another role of the dealer - to shift the blame for the direct sales company - was also fully utilized. Direct sales companies can push all disputes and negatives to dealers.Moreover, dealers are not subject to regional restrictions on direct sales corporate activities by the Direct Sales Management Regulations, and can sell them all over the country, which can be said to have multiple goals in one fell swoop.
Let’s take a look at the Chinese health care product market in 2005. After many regulatory reforms, it has become increasingly chaotic.
Take health food as an example. According to the report of Southern Weekend, in 1996, the "Health Food Management Measures" was officially issued. "Health food" has been clearly defined for the first time in my country: "Health food refers to food that indicates that it has specific health care functions. That is, food that is suitable for consumption by specific people, has the function of regulating the body, and does not aim to treat diseases." At the same time, a series of evaluation procedures, inspection methods, technical regulations, and regulations have been issued.
Health foods have also begun to implement the identity management system for approval documents, that is, health food companies must apply for approval documents for products, and the outer packaging of approved products sold to the outside are marked with the words "Guoshi Jian" in the blue color and hat-shaped, which is called "blue hat" in the industry.
It is worth noting that from 1996 to 2003, health foods were managed by the Ministry of Health. In 2003, the national level assigned the approval function of health food to the Food and Drug Administration, and other functions (standards and formulas) were still in the Ministry of Health. Although the state had been transferred at that time, the local governments had not been able to improve it for a long time. In some places, health foods were regulated by the food and drug department, while in some were still in the health department.
In July 2005, the State Food and Drug Administration formulated the "Regulations on Registration and Management of Health Foods". The lifelong system of approval documents for health foods no longer exists, and the re-registration and exit mechanism has changed the state's management of health foods from passive to active. It seems that health foods have been better regulated, but it is not. Because for a long period of time, for the food and drug department, they were only responsible for the supervision of health foods with blue hat standards, while other ordinary foods that pretend to be health foods or fake and inferior health foods were managed by industrial and commercial or quality supervision. However, the industrial and commercial and quality supervision departments once believed that this did not fall within their own regulatory scope.
From this point of view, the legislation in 2005 seemed to regulate the direct sales industry, but in fact it made direct sales companies qualified (80 million registered capital, 20 million margin) obtaining licenses from the Ministry of Commerce even more "confident".
In response to the problem of dealers of direct sales enterprises, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening Direct Sales Management" in April 2018, emphasizing that dealers cannot carry out direct sales business. The exposure of the Quanjian incident shows that this "Opinion" has not been strictly implemented.
The ever-changing multi-subject supervision of health foods has instead made it a "wild child" who "everyone can manage, no one can manage well". This also created an environment for the chaos in direct sales of health products in China that has been repeatedly banned.
This time, is the rectification effective?
There are more than 16,000 registered and registered health foods in my country, and 2,365 health food production licenses nationwide, with an output value of more than 400 billion yuan.
Professor Yang Qian, deputy director of the China Direct Sales Industry Development Research Center of Peking University, told Xinmin Weekly that more than one-third of the performance of the direct sales industry comes from the sales of health foods. "Food cannot be promoted for efficacy. Some direct sales personnel may violate this regulation and claim that food has certain efficacy when recommending products to consumers. Problems such as exaggerated publicity and false publicity still exist in the direct sales industry. Since regulatory forces are difficult to cover, these violations are repeatedly banned." Why is
so difficult to regulate? Yang Qian pointed out that there was a problem in the past supervision that there were too many lines and too detailed management responsibilities, which was easy to cause disputes. For example, there were different regulatory systems for health food and direct sales companies.
According to the report of Southern Weekend, in 2008, in order to achieve the organic unity of regulatory functions, the State Council’s institutional reform re-assigned the State Food and Drug Administration to the Ministry of Health, becoming its subordinate ministry management bureau. Correspondingly, local drug supervision is also classified as the health department. With this change, the Food and Drug Administration will be weakened immediately. There are few professional supervisors for health foods, and even fewer after the reform. Now, the people who are truly managing health foods in local government departments may not understand health foods and are completely managing them using market supervision methods.Since the government's regulatory capabilities are not well matched with regulatory responsibilities, the management pattern has to remain at the level of "re-approval and slight supervision" in the past few years.
Take Tianshi as an example. Since 2009, direct sales activities conducted in the name of "Tianjin Tianshi" have caused 2,781 criminal cases of various types, resulting in a total of 155 deaths. In August 2013, Tianshi was exposed by the media to recruit doctors from Guangzhou Southern Hospital to act as "direct salesmen" for products to sell Tianshi health products to patients. In December 2014, CCTV's " Focus Interview with " revealed that Tianshi brand Cordyceps mycelium capsules do not contain Cordyceps sinensis, but instead use something called "neck-bending mold".
Even if it is negative, Tianshi's total revenue in 2017 exceeded 33.877 billion yuan, and Chairman Li Jinyuan is known as the "richest man in Tianjin". Tianshi should also exist for Quanjian’s problem, but Xiao Zhou Yang’s death ignited public anger.
hope that this time, the relevant departments can seize the opportunity and while cracking down on pyramid schemes, they can also further regulate the direct sales enterprises and health care products markets.
You should know that "Japan Life" did not declare bankruptcy in Japan until December 2017. During its 44-year operation, the Japanese government and relevant departments have also supervised such direct sales companies and health care products markets, but a large number of consumers are still victims. In China, which has a larger population than Japan, has faster economic growth, a more convenient payment system, and a more health-conscious person, we should take it as a warning, right?
